Chapter: 1048

“Yes!”

At that moment, the Demonic Cult’s expedition to the North Sea was confirmed.

The north belongs to the Jianghu.

It meant the border of Shaanxi, Gansu, Shanxi, and Hebei.

To reach lake Baikal, where the North Sea Ice Palace, which held power over the outer north, is located, you would have to pass through the great plains that were ruled by several barbarian tribes.

Clip clop! Clip clop!

In the border area between Shanxi and the Great Plains.

The sound of horses running echoed everywhere.

More than four hundred or so elite Yulin Clan warriors were moving to the north in a line.

As previously announced by Kang Soah, the unit commander, the situation was urgent, so after a non-stop trip, they reached this place in just three days.

Of course, to get to Shanxi at that speed, they had to stop by other clans under Yulin, which were on the way and change horses.

Clip clop! Clip clop!

Throughout the ride, the commander, Kang Soah, was silent and concerned.

There was a reason for his concern.

It was because he heard unexpected news on his way to the north.

[Are you saying that your people have asked for help from the Demonic Cult?]

[Yes. Well, it wasn’t a formal request, only one member of the army was sent to them, but since it wasn’t an official request from the main palace, the demonic cult might not dispatch any troops.]

Dan Juseong told the truth just to be careful.

Of course, he knew that the Demonic Cult wouldn’t come to help, but they were in an emergency, so he decided to disclose this information just in case.

Kang Soah thought that only the Yulin were only being asked for help because of their agreement, but the mention of the Demonic Cult made Kang Soah feel troubled.

[This is totally unexpected.]

[Well, it wasn’t a formal request, so they won’t care. Except during wars of conquest, leaders usually ignore other requests.]

Moyong Kang of the Moyong family heard that and responded that the Demonic Cult would in no way help the north.

Even Jehal Sohi half-agreed.

[Leader Moyong’s words have some truth. Currently, the Demonic Cult is in a situation where they need to lay the groundwork for their new academy. In the meantime, if they were to distribute their men, they’d lose time and money. But.]

[But?]

[That is a correct answer from a military point of view... but I can’t guarantee that Lord Chun Yeowun will do that.]

Jegal Sohi had gone as an envoy to the Demonic Cult, and she met with Chun Yeowun when he was still the crown prince.

And as a result of closely observing Chun Yeowun’s progress as a Lord, she realized that he wasn’t the type of person to move according to textbook strategies.

Therefore, she wasn’t sure about the Demonic Cult’s movements.
