Episode 1432. You’ll have to kill me first. (2)
“Distance! “What a distance!”
“It’s hard to pinpoint exactly, but it’s not far off!”
“this!”
Tang Oe pursed his lips.
If martial arts had not been completely eliminated, he would have been able to gauge the skill and distance of his enemies, but now he was no different from a blind man with his eyes open.
“Hurry! “We need to increase the distance!”
“Great Elder!”
The elders looked outside the party with puzzled faces.
“Elder! We are accompanying people who have not learned martial arts. How can you distance yourself from them? It will catch up soon!”
“so? Are you saying there is another way?”
The party screamed at the top of its lungs.
“We are the Four Thousand Dang Family! We must resist and fight until the very end! “Are you saying this because you don’t know that?”
The elders bite their lips. Tang et al.’s eyes turned cold for a moment when he noticed that their expressions were not very determined.
“why? Now that these old people are so old, do they even think their lives are a waste? Are you going to abandon your family and run away?”
“What are you talking about? Elder, it’s not like that…”
“Other than that?”
One of the elders hesitated and said.
“Would you rather surrender?”
“⋯⋯What?”
Tang Wei’s face became blank for a moment, as if he had been hit.
Surrender. It’s a word I’ve never thought of before in my life. Now those words came from the mouth of none other than Elder Tang Family.
“What did you say just now?”
One of the elders who took the brunt of the rising anger of those outside the party continued speaking while slightly averting his gaze.
“As far as I know, the losers are evil people, but I know that they don’t touch those who haven’t learned martial arts. “There’s no need for someone like that to murder them, right?”
“⋯⋯.”
“If we fight clumsily here, we will give them justification. “It would be better to surrender…”
“Did you say everything?”
“⋯⋯Elder.”
“You idiot!”
Tang Oe’s face turned red.
“Is that what an elder from the Tang family would say!”
But this time, the elder did not get discouraged by what was going on outside the party.
“This is what I say to the elders of the Tang family! “Don’t you know very well that we can’t stop them on our own?”
“This…”
“If I have something to protect, I will fight with my life! But now the party has nothing more to protect, right? But why do you have to risk your life to fight? “Shouldn’t we save at least one more person who inherited the Tang family name?”
Dong-Oe, who was looking at the elder, momentarily relaxed.
It’s not because I’m angry or disappointed. This is because the saying that there is nothing more to protect in the party has been stabbed to the core.
If they had fought in the party house, there must have been a good reason. But now, as I said… there is no reason for that. Is there any reason why women and children who have not learned martial arts should fight for their lives?
If you’re fighting to survive, isn’t it right to choose the path with the highest chance of survival?
“Although the defeated army is ruthless… he is clearly different from the Sapa bastards we have known so far. So maybe we will give them preferential treatment…”
“No!”
At that moment, the party assistant who was supporting the outside party firmly opened his mouth.
“That’s not possible, Elder.”
“How dare you!”
For a moment, anger appeared on the elder’s face. How dare you have a conversation with him outside the party and a nameless girl interrupts. This was something that could not have happened in the party.
“What do you know that you dare open your mouth?”
“I don’t know anything. But I know one thing. “There are lives in the world that are worse than living.”
“what?”
“What if we surrender to them, matriarch? “How can those who are outside the family fight against them?”
The elder was momentarily speechless and looked at Tang Xiaobo in confusion.
“Sacheondangga may die miserably, but they will not live servilely. Aren’t the elders the ones who said that? So why are you asking us to become hostages?”
At Tang Sobo’s shout, the eyes of others around him also filled with venom.
Those who left their clan and became members of the Tang family. Those who will have to leave the party someday. Therefore, although they were not recognized as true Tang people, they were still people of the Sacheon Tang family.
“Then what about the children? “Can you decide the life or death of those children who didn’t learn?”
Tang Xiaobo paused for a moment in response to the elder’s question. Then the elder looked around the outside of the party and said.
“If it’s really difficult, it would be better to just take the kids and run away…”
“stop!”
“Grand Elder! You must think carefully! “The women of the Tang family should be taken away like this…”
“Why don’t you tell me to stop!”
At that moment, someone outside the party shouted and stopped the elder from speaking.
“Those who will leave, leave. The Party will not find you again. “Who would criticize someone for saying that life is a waste?”
“Grand Elder! “How can you accept what I say?”
“Huh… haha.”
A hollow laugh escaped from the mouth of the outside party.
The look in the elder’s eyes confirms that there is nothing wrong with what I say. That was no different from his eyes outside the party that he had seen in his past admiration.
“The little ones… couldn’t be trusted.”
“⋯⋯Yes?”
“What do you know about those who haven’t even lived that long? “Only those who had gone through all the hardships considered worthy of leading the family.”
“Elder?”
“Yes, I did. I thought so. I am. “I thought that women who could not learn the martial arts of the Tang family or those who were still young and did not know the world had to just endure it.”
The party outside looked down at the party bulletin. Although he looked exhausted, Tang Xiaobo’s eyes were still clear and clear.
“⋯⋯I lived in vain.”
“Great Elder.”
“Just because you get older doesn’t make you wise, and just because you’re young doesn’t make you foolish. I thought I had to somehow lead the childish ones. “I was really immature.”
“I…”
The party shook its head.
“I don’t have time to talk any more. Those who will leave, leave! And those who say they are willing to die as elders of the Tang family, block the Man-in-bang from the rear! The party fights until the very end. “That is the duty of those who use the Tang family name!”
A determined light filled the eyes of both parties. And the elders, infected by those eyes, gave a resolute answer.
“Yes, Elder!”
Tang Oe turned around. As if I won’t look back.
“Everyone hurry! “The enemies are chasing you.”
A member of the party encouraged the exhausted people and grabbed the arm of the party assistant.
“Let’s go!”
“yes.”
The party secretary supported those outside the party and dragged them away.
Sad laughter continued to flow from the mouths of those outside the party. I feel a busy presence behind me. Most of the elders would have resolutely kicked the ground to block the rear, but perhaps some others might be running away somewhere.
But there was no need to look outside the party. I didn’t want to know who stayed and who left. Regardless of who leaves, isn’t everything ultimately the responsibility of those outside the party?
‘Go ahead.’
Who is the enemy of the Tang family?
Are those chasing after us with swords enemies of the Party?
Or is the person who divided the party into four by dividing the warriors from the non-military, dividing the women from the men, dividing the young from the old, an enemy of the party?
‘Father…’
The previous head of the family spoke to the party. You are in no way qualified to be the head of the party. Even though he was better than his younger brother in terms of ability and mentality, he said that he should not become the head of the Tang family.
I couldn’t understand it, so I was angry and hated it. I devoted my whole life to proving that statement wrong.
But I think I finally understand now.
‘It wasn’t me.’
He should never have become the head of the Tang family.
Because he would have divided everything that exists within the party. Because everything would have been strictly divided and limits set.
It may seem efficient and better right now.
As the young outside party lamented, that decision may have made the name of the Sichuan Party stronger.
But now everyone outside the party has seen what the end will be.
‘house owner.’
He always resented the Tang military evil.
If Tanggunak hadn’t done the stupid thing of tying up with Hwasan, the Tang family wouldn’t have been in such a crisis.
But… perhaps it is none other than outside the party that has created the party’s current crisis.
If you had not interfered in the first place and believed in the intentions of the Tang military music, wouldn’t the Tang family have become a stronger and greater place than it is now?
“Cough!”
“Now, Elder. Are you okay?”
Tang Wei turned his head and looked at Tang Xiaobao.
“⋯⋯I’m sorry.”
“What are you saying? Please hold on just a little longer!”
The corners of Tang Wei’s mouth twitched.
‘So… ‘I found out too late.’
The image of the party’s Jo Pyeong shouting loudly passed by. Maybe he wanted to say something like this. He probably couldn’t convey it with his poor speaking skills, having spent his entire life pounding iron, but he conveyed it with his eyes and gestures.
Maybe he was shouting the whole time, but no one outside the party heard him. No matter how much people around them scream, those who cover their ears cannot hear anything!
If only I had known this fact a little earlier…
“Oh it’s coming! coming! Grand Elder!”
For a moment, I looked back without realizing it. I didn’t want to see it, but I had no choice but to see it.
A red flock rushing over the distant horizon.
The sight of them spreading red across the yellow earth was terrifying in itself. But they are not what those outside the party are looking at. It was a man in the center.
The man’s red long guns fluttered in the air. A voice that sounded like it was in pain came out of Tang Wei’s mouth.
“Pae… army.”
I wanted to see it with my own eyes at least once, but I never wanted to face it like this. At least it shouldn’t have been as bad as it is now.
Defeator Jang Il-so’s eyes seemed to pierce him eerily even from this far away.
“Ryeonju! “They are bastards.”
Jang Il-so lightly scratched the area between his eyebrows with his fingernail.
“Hmm, are we finally here? “The party is done.”
“You rarely see those who can fight! At most, there are just a few old guys!”
“It looks like that.”
“Captured alive?”
Jeok-ho glanced back at Jang Il-so. It was an obvious question. Killing them is not a big deal, but it can be much more useful if you hold them hostage and put pressure on Tang Gunak and Cheon Woo-maeng.
However, only the sound of Jang Il-so clicking his tongue came back.
“Tsk tsk. “This is why they are Sapa bastards.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Look.”
Jang Il-so gestured toward the front. At those words, Jeokho looked in that direction. The elders of the Tang family were moving backwards, radiating momentum. Like a poisonous wildcat.
“Where are you looking? It’s not there. “We’ll have to see what happens after that.”
“⋯⋯Yes?”
At those words, Jeokho looked at those beyond the elders.
Women and children bursting into tears.
And there are only craftsmen who have not learned martial arts and are panting as if they will run out of breath at any moment.
“Do you see it?”
“⋯⋯What do you mean?”
“If you want to know whether an opponent is an enemy or not, look at their eyes, not their strength. Look. Those many eyes are talking. “I will fight.”
At those words, Jeokho nodded without realizing it.
Anyone who has not mastered martial arts would be frightened if they were chased by the Maninbang. But the eyes of the women and craftsmen looking back now were full of venom.
“Is it strong or weak? That’s not important. “Everyone who sets foot on this land with the will to fight is a warrior.”
“⋯⋯.”
“And if the opponent is an unmanned person, it is our duty to be polite. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Lord Ryeon!”
“okay.”
The corner of Jang Il-so’s mouth suddenly rose.
“Kill them all. Don’t leave a single one behind.”
“Jonmyeong!”
When Jeokho beckoned, the Maninbandos rushed forward.
“Hwaaaaaaaap!”
Looking at the people running away, Jang Il-so muttered quietly.
“It may seem a little excessive for the price of the alcohol, but… please understand, this is Sapa’s calculation method.”
The two oily eyes soon became curved like the old moon.
