The World's Greatest Troublemaker

Chapter 148

"Stop him! Don't let that bastard come..."

The commander couldn't finish his words.

Thwack!

It was because he had been hit on the head by Mok Wigun's palm. The commander collapsed on the spot like a log.

"You just can't understand when I say it nicely. You just can't!"

The commander had collapsed. At that, the adjutant shouted.

"Attack! We must save the general."

"Waaaaah!"

Soldiers with spears rushed in from all sides. It wasn't a difficult thing for Mok Wigun to avoid them. But he didn't. He picked up the commander and blocked the incoming spears.

"Ugh!"

The soldiers who were stabbing with their spears hurriedly withdrew their weapons. They couldn't stab the commander, the general, could they?

"You cowardly bastard. Are you planning to use the general as a shield to get out of here?"

"No? If I wanted to leave, I could just leave, so why would I do something so troublesome?"

It was true. If he just decided to leave, he could leave as much as he wanted. But he hadn't come here to talk and then run away. Mok Wigun slapped the commander's cheek to wake him up.

"Hey. They're trying to stab you."

The commander came to his senses and looked ahead. The soldiers were crowded together with their spears pointed at him.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"No, General. It's because that wicked bastard is using you as a shield."

The commander also looked around and grasped the situation. But Mok Wigun said in the commander's ear.

"But they didn't say to throw away their weapons. If they were thinking about the commander's safety, shouldn't they have naturally said to throw away their weapons?"

But they didn't. Mok Wigun pointed at the adjutant and said.

"He gave the order. Just so you know."

The general also roughly guessed the situation. He knew that what Mok Wigun had said was a clumsy attempt to drive a wedge between them. Mok Wigun hadn't intended to do anything with this either. He had done it with the thought that it would be good if it worked, and it wouldn't matter if it didn't.

But once suspicion arises, it doesn't disappear easily. So it would cause problems in some way. The adjutant, as if he had heard those words, shouted loudly.

"You cowardly bastard. Let go of the general right now."

Mok Wigun tilted his head.

"Are you guys by any chance mistaken that I'm holding a hostage because I can't do anything?"

That was absolutely not the case. It was to buy time for Pyon Juksu to act. No one here knew that Pyon Juksu had disappeared. Because all their attention was focused on Mok Wigun and the general.

"Hey. You guys are really shameless. You came to plunder, but you're so damn confident."

Mok Wigun said, counting on his fingers.

"Is this your land? You just invaded a place that isn't even your territory, right? And did Ham Seopyo hurt your people? That's not it either. Is the food yours?"

At those words, the soldiers were agitated. It was because what Mok Wigun had said was not wrong. At that, the adjutant shouted loudly.

"Don't be ridiculous. Isn't what you're saying now what you're trying to do? Aren't you trying to take over this region and Ham Seopyo's troops, and secure the food?"

"I came to find my stuff. But you guys just came because you were greedy. The circumstances are different."

The adjutant shouted again.

"Do you think we are the same as you? We are the army of the King of Chu, who moves for a great cause."

"A great cause?"

What a funny thing to say. He had never seen anyone who put up such a thing and really did so.

"Stop making excuses. Did you really come for a great cause?"

"Yes. And stop dragging time with strange talk and hand over the general quickly. Then I will let you leave safely."

At that, Mok Wigun asked.

"You'll let me leave here if I let him go? Can I believe that?"

"Of course. I promise."

Mok Wigun smiled. How could he say such an absurd thing so easily? That would never happen. So Mok Wigun pressed the commander's acupoints. So that he couldn't move his upper body, but could move his lower body.

"A promise... I always keep my promises, but I don't think you guys will."

"So what are you going to do?"

"I don't believe you, but let's see what you do."

When he pushed him lightly, the commander staggered and walked. The soldiers rushed in and supported the commander.

"Alright. I've handed him over. Clear the way. I'm leaving."

But it went as expected. The adjutant suddenly drew his sword and shouted.

"Catch that bastard right now."

"Hey. Hey. Aren't you changing your tune too quickly?"

The soldiers who had received the order rushed in. Mok Wigun dodged here and there and shouted. He said it with his internal energy so that it could be heard outside.

"See? I told you. There's not even as much trust as a chick's pee, right?

But how can you believe the words that you came here for a great cause? It's all lies. You just came because you were greedy for this region, the food, and the troops.

He could feel it. That the soldiers inside were confused. Mok Wigun, who had confirmed that, flew to the place where the adjutant and the commander were.

"Stop being unreasonable and go back quickly. If not, you'll be in real trouble."

"What are you doing? Not catching this bastard?"

People with iron hooks and nets came in from outside. They were tricky things to deal with inside a tent. Mok Wigun said, flying into the air.

"I warned you clearly. I'm trying to find my things, so if you interfere, I won't forgive you."

But the commander seemed to have not the slightest intention of listening to Mok Wigun's words. He screamed at the top of his lungs to catch him right away.

"Alright. Let's do this, shall we?"

Even though he had given him a chance, if he came out like that, he had to make him pay the price for sure.

Thwack!

Mok Wigun kicked the central pillar of the tent with his foot. At that, it broke with a 'thud'. As the pillar that was supporting the tent broke, the tightly stretched cloth poured down.

Riiip!

Mok Wigun tore the tent with his sword and soared up. And then he cut down whatever he saw. The largest flag with the character 'Chu' engraved on it was also cut.

As Mok Wigun ran around and made a mess, the campsite became a mess. Tents collapsed and horses were startled and ran away. The flag with the character 'Chu' was trampled by the soldiers' feet.

"Maintain the formation. Don't rush and drive him in one direction."

When the commander took command, the soldiers' movements improved a little. But inside the campsite, there were numerous tents and objects. It was really a difficult thing for the soldiers to catch Mok Wigun, who was flying between them.

"Haven't you heard that I caught the single-horned great serpent? Do you think you're strong? Or do you think the single-horned great serpent is strong?"

If ten thousand men moved as one body without fear of death. And if there was a weapon that could inflict a wound on the single-horned great serpent. If those two things were met, it was worth fighting the single-horned great serpent. If not?

Even ten thousand men would be no match. A few would be eaten, and the rest would be busy running away.

"No. Does it make sense to be had like this by just one person?"

The commander said in an annoyed voice. In the meantime, Mok Wigun was flying here and there and increasing the damage. It was then.

- I found the place with the food.

- Where is it?

- Just go a little south from here.

Mok Wigun turned his direction to the south. In the distance, he could see Pyon Juksu. Mok Wigun cut down all the tents or objects that got in his way. The soldiers chased after Mok Wigun, but he was so fast that they were just in a state of confusion.

"Is the ability of a martial artist that amazing?"

The commander said, clicking his tongue. Even though there were so many soldiers, he was running around as if there was no one. The damage he had caused alone was enormous. It was a situation that could only be surprising. At that, the adjutant said.

"That person is special. If all martial artists had such an ability, the world would be ruled by martial artists."

"I suppose so."

"Yes. As expected, they said he had pacified the Chang'an area. It seems his skill is not ordinary."

Then, seeing the direction Mok Wigun was moving, the commander shouted in surprise.

"Those bastards are going to the place where the food warehouse is. We have to stop them quickly."

It would be a big problem if the food was plundered.

"Bring the horses quickly. And all the cavalry, get ready."

But a considerable number of the horses had run away. Because of that, it took some time for the commander to leave.

"Ah... this!"

By the time the commander arrived at the food warehouse, it was already too late. He witnessed the food warehouse burning brightly.

"Put out the fire quickly. We have to protect the food."

He shouted desperately, but the food was already burning. And soon it grew into a huge fire. The fire was so big that it could be seen even from Ham Seopyo's unit in the distance.

* * *

"What? Those bastards aren't going back and are plundering?"

The King of Chu's army did not go back. Instead, they were plundering the nearby villages to get food.

"Ah. They're being annoying until the end."

"But even while doing that, they are setting traps. They say Ham Seopyo almost got into big trouble when he led his unit out..."

Ham Seopyo was in the castle. Since he was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, he was going to hold a siege in the castle. It was a natural choice. In such a situation, the food was burned. For the King of Chu's army, they had to retreat.

"Then the commander has to take responsibility. So he's luring Ham Seopyo while plundering food. He's a pretty smart guy."

From the commander's point of view, it seemed to be the best choice. But for Mok Wigun, who was trying to make this area his sphere of influence, he was in a very bad mood.

"I clearly warned them to go back..."

Mok Wigun took a few Light Wind Unit members and went to find the King of Chu's army. But he received a message from a Light Wind Unit member who had been watching the vicinity of Ham Seopyo's unit.

"Ham Seopyo went out with his unit again?"

"Yes. A person came from the village and requested help."

Mok Wigun led his group and moved quickly. It was not that difficult to find the King of Chu's army. Because he just had to find the place where smoke was rising.

"Manor Lord. Ham Seopyo's unit is over there..."

Ham Seopyo's unit was already there. Mok Wigun surveyed the area around the village.

- Don't you think there are soldiers in that forest over there?

Mok Wigun, who couldn't distinguish clearly with his own eyesight, requested help from Pyon Juksu. At that, Pyon Juksu stared at the forest behind the village for a moment.

- There's a huge crowd. It seems almost all of their soldiers are there.

- Right? In that case, there must be cavalry somewhere too.

It was a trap set in the open. But with Ham Seopyo's personality, it would be difficult for him to pretend not to know. And as expected, a similar story was being exchanged in Ham Seopyo's unit. Ham Seopyo's subordinates, who were lying flat on a hill and watching the situation, said to him.

"It's a trap. We can't go."

"I know, but we can't just watch, can we?"

"They must have set a solid trap this time. If we go, we'll be annihilated."

All the subordinates stopped him. But Ham Seopyo pointed to the village.

"Look at them. Aren't they only looking at us?"

About a few hundred soldiers were plundering, but it was useless to resist. They were just being helplessly plundered. Even in the midst of that, many people were looking in the direction of Ham Seopyo's unit. They were hoping that they would be saved.

But suddenly, a change occurred in the village situation. A soldier whispered urgently.

"Look over there."
