Episode 1157 This is the faction abandoned by all political factions. (2)
A strange atmosphere settled in the room.
Cheongmyeong looked intently at Haenamdo drawn on the map.
‘Did I miss it?’
No, it’s not like that. Even if the Haenam faction was not part of the old faction in his time, he could not miss the fact that the Haenam faction now belongs to the old faction and is located in Haenam Island.
Nevertheless, the reason this fact did not remain in Cheongmyeong’s mind was because the nine-file-one-bang was not something he had to put in his mind and coordinate in the first place.
‘That’s the King Bald’s job.’
It’s difficult to completely protect a single Cheonwoomaeng, but isn’t it possible to take into account the circumstances of the two families?
But now, none other than Lim So-byeong has pointed out that point. This was definitely something that was difficult for Cheongmyeong to think about.
The others seemed to have realized that this situation was worse than they thought, so they no longer criticized Lim So-byeong and looked thoughtful with serious expressions on their faces.
Tanggunak massaged his chin and opened his mouth.
“Does that mean… the Haenam faction is now in a desperate situation?”
“I guess so.”
“But there’s an aspect I don’t understand. “Even so, aren’t the people who will solve that situation the old group and not us?”
Everyone nodded at those words. But Lim So-byeong smiled meaningfully and said.
“Let’s think differently.”
“huh?”
“Let’s stand from the Haenam faction’s perspective. Anyway, those noblemen were eating well and living well in Haenam Island. But one day, all of a sudden, Shaolin, Gupailbang, Namgung, and… no, the five major families…”
Lim So-byeong, who glanced at Namgung Dowi, continued speaking with a humble expression.
“While capturing Surochae on the Yangtze River, we were attacked and suddenly, without discussion, signed a non-aggression pact in Gangnam. So what would it have been like from the Haenam faction’s perspective?”
“It’s a lightning strike.”
“You must have thought it was a human.”
“If it were me, I’d go set fire to the top of his bald head.”
It was nothing to think deeply about.
The Treaty of Non-Aggression in Gangnam was a humiliating treaty for the other factions of the old faction and the five major families, who were pressured by the Sa faction and were unable to set foot on Gangnam land. But on the other hand, it means that it was only a humiliation and not a real threat.
But what would it have been like from the perspective of the Haenam faction?
With the Gangnam Non-Aggression Treaty alone, the Haenam faction was unknowingly surrounded and isolated by the Sa faction.
“wait a minute. But wasn’t that the same before?”
“different.”
When asked about Jo Geol, Lim So-byeong spoke clearly.
“Of course, Gangnam was a land where Sapa was dominant before. However, the difference between the Xinjuo group and the Xia group is whether they perceive each other as enemies or colleagues.”
“Ah…”
“Even during the time of the Xinjuo faction, the Four Sects were strong. But it was difficult to demonstrate that strength. Because they were each other’s enemies. “Didn’t we also go to war with those rotten bastards in the first place?”
At those words, Tanggunak nodded his head heavily.
“It did.”
“So, even though the Haenam faction was geographically isolated, it did not feel like a threat because the four factions would never unite. And if, by any chance, the Sa sect attacks, won’t the Namgung family, the Shaman sect in the Yangtze River basin, and the Sichuan sects that are geographically closer come to support right away?”
“I guess so.”
Tanggunak nodded as if there was nothing to think about. If such a situation had happened to Dangga, he would have put everything aside and headed to Gangnam. Because that was the same as the promise the Nine Sects and the Five Great Families made to each other.
“But the moment the Gangnam non-aggression pact was signed!”
Sigh!
Lim So-byeong’s brush once again drew a horizontal map along the Yangtze River.
“No matter what happens to the Haenam faction, the old faction cannot support them.”
“Ah…”
Only then did everyone understand the pressure the Haenam faction must have felt.
“Three years like that…”
“Yes, that’s right. The Haenam faction must have endured for as many as three years with a feeling of dry blood. They are anxious that Sapa might target them at any time. Then finally! Those long three years are coming to an end…”
“Maehwa Island exploded.”
“yes. “It just exploded.”
Everyone’s eyes were instantly focused on one side. Namgung Dowi lowered his head with a bright red face.
‘I didn’t even think about it.’
Of course, they could not have stopped Emperor Nangong just because they had thought about it in advance, but in any case, they did not at all consider what position the Hainan faction would be in when they attacked the Four factions.
“There is only one conclusion left by the Maehwa Island incident. The Gangnam non-aggression pact will now end… but that’s it. Now, we can’t step on each other’s land anyway. “Isn’t that something that Shaolin himself proved during the Hangzhou Mahua period?”
“Of course.”
Baekcheon nodded loudly.
Even if it was not an issue of the treaty at that time, Shaolin was essentially announcing to the world that it was reluctant for a political faction to set foot in the land dominated by the Sa-Pae-Ryeon.
“Then what is the Haenam faction’s position now?”
Baekcheon looked at the map with a stern face. What is your position?…
“You must be feeling abandoned.”
“Exactly.”
Lim So-byeong clapped his hands loudly.
“If the shaman had thought about Haenam’s position at all, the incident like the invasion of the Yangtze River should not have happened. And if Shaolin had even thought about Haenam’s position at all, he should have somehow stepped on Gangnam land when the demonic religion was launched and gave a signal that the Gupa Ilbang could head to Gangnam when the civilians or allies were in danger.”
Lim So-byeong sneered coldly.
“But you didn’t do it both times.”
People’s shoulders trembled slightly. When I changed my position and thought about it, I really felt the despair that the Haenam faction must have felt.
“The Haenam faction was the last faction to join the old faction, so there must have been some sense of entitlement. In the midst of all this, we were treated as a sect that did not exist. In this situation, do they really believe that Shaolin and shamans will come to their aid just by maintaining their positions in the Gupa Il Bang?”
“I won’t.”
“yes. Unless you’re an idiot, you won’t do that. If the solidarity between the nine factions and the five major clans was the same as before, how many factions would stand up against the Sapaeryun in order to save the Haenam faction in that far-off place in a situation where there are internal divisions? I can tell you…”
Lim So-byeong’s eyes were cold. It contained a cold ridicule at the reality of political factions that always preached correctness.
“There won’t be any.”
No one was too quick to open their mouths. I’d like to say no, but we all know that’s the reality.
‘Is Gangnam that big?’
Suddenly, the map seemed vast, without end or bottom. In order to support the Haenam faction, we must cross the wide Gangnam region.
‘Nonsense.’
Baekcheon’s lips trembled slightly.
In fact, Hangzhou is not located very deep from Gangnam. The problem was that it was a long way to travel laterally along the Yangtze River, and it wasn’t far from the Yangtze River in the first place, right?
However, the Haenam faction is completely different. In order to go to Haenam to support them, you have to completely cross Gangnam, which is no different from the nest of Sapae-ryeon, and reach the sea.
“No, even if we actually arrive at the sea….”
“How do we get to the island?”
“…You are saying that we need to find a ship to go from Gangnam, which is controlled by the Sapae-ryeon, to Haenam Island.”
“If you leave after you hear that there is a war, it will be over before you even arrive. So you’re saying we have to go early?”
Lim So-byeong nodded loudly and organized things.
“Yes, that’s right. So, in order to help Haenam, the conditions must be met. “We must be able to head to Namhae even though Haenam did not ask for salvation, and we must find a way to head to Haenam Island even after breaking through Gangnam, which is overrun by scammers.”
Hyeonjong looked at the map with a puzzled expression.
‘This…’
This really isn’t something worth scolding the old group for. In reality, it was no exaggeration to say that there was no way to help Haenam Island here.
“Green Forest King, this is….”
“Yes, I know. But that’s why it has meaning.”
Sigh!
Lim So-byeong held up his fan and opened his mouth.
“The Haenam faction hopes for salvation, but realistically they cannot imagine that there will be people who will come to save them. That’s why I’m just preparing to be imprisoned at the risk of death.”
“Hmm.”
“But when it happens!”
Lim So-byeong’s brush quickly drew a line that crossed Gangnam and reached Haenam.
“What if we could help?”
“….”
“If the power of Gu-Fail-Bang has weakened and the benefits of the name Gu-Fail-Bang have become meaningless, it would not be a dream for Haenam to leave Gu-Fail-Bang and join the Cheonwoo Alliance on his own.”
Paaaaaa!
Lim So-byeong struck the map. The hit was so strong that a part of the map made of sturdy fabric was torn apart with a loud sound.
“Do you understand?”
“….”
“This is a departure from the old file room. This has never happened even once in the history of Kangho! Ah… Of course, this is my first time coming out on my own. The clan that was kicked out….”
“No, but is that bastard really?”
“Cheongmyeong! “Just be patient!”
“That’s not the situation right now!”
“I’m a sucker for it too, but let’s listen to it all first and then kill it!”
King Hyeonjong, who pushed down the struggling Cheongmyeong again, urged Lim So-byeong.
“Please continue.”
“yes.”
Lim So-byeong glanced at Cheongmyeong with a scratchy look on his face and continued speaking.
“It is not an easy story, but if successful, all the sects in the world will see the Haenam faction, which belongs to the Gupa Ilbang, abandon its position as the Gupa Ilbang and join the Cheonwoo Alliance.”
“….”
“Do you know what that means? Everyone said it a little while ago. Why are small and medium-sized factions joining the Cheonwoo Alliance? Even if you are small and medium-sized factions, you will join the old faction. Why does such a thing come out? This is because it is none other than an old file room! Their history and reputation are difficult to overcome in a short period of time, no matter how powerful the Tianyu Meng becomes. but!”
Taaaaagh!
Lim So-byeong folded his fan in one go and said with a grin.
“This is Haenam. The Haenam faction, which is one of the old factions, and not the clumsy small and medium-sized faction… will abandon the old factions and choose Cheonwoomaeng, declaring to the world that Cheonwoomaeng is a more valuable place.”
“….”
“So what?”
Ugh.
The tip of Lim So-byeong’s fan gently pressed on a part of the map. The place where the tip of the fan reached was none other than Seongsan. It was where Shaolin was located.
“The weight of Gupailbang and Cheonwoomaeng.”
Cheeeeeeeek.
The fan moved sideways, almost as if tearing the map apart. Everyone’s eyes moved along the tip of the fan.
“It can change…”
The fan finally stopped. The place where the fan that drew the long line stopped was none other than the volcano in Shaanxi. It is a place with volcanic waves.
“I guess not?”
Lim So-byeong’s eyes gave off a creepy glow.
“I think that if it is possible, it is worth doing at any cost, no matter what the cost.”
widely!
He lightly tapped my palm with a fan and took a step back with a grin.
“That is all.”
As soon as Lim So-byeong finished speaking, a strange atmosphere began to form in the room. A strange atmosphere of confusion, concern, and strange excitement mixed together.
