Episode 1287 Because it’s a sight I’m tired of seeing. (1)
Faaat!
Trained legs kick the ground.
Haenam’s disciples ran with all their might. The distance to the Dam River that they are currently targeting is about 400 ri. For an ordinary person, even if they skip sleep and walk all the time, it would take three days, but as disciples of a prestigious school, they can cover it in just a few hours.
This was a question of stamina rather than speed.
If you are a disciple of Haenam, a former student, it is possible to maintain the speed that an ordinary person runs with all his might for an entire day. To put it to the extreme, it is possible to run for three days straight without resting or sleeping.
Therefore, the movement speed of unmanned people cannot be compared to that of ordinary people or even horses.
But now, this extreme speed of movement was once again strangling the Haenam disciples.
At first, I didn’t really feel it. All I had to do was run as hard as I could.
However, as the time continued to just run without any conversation, everyone realized it.
Now they are running towards their own death.
It is highly likely that a siege network of Sapae-ryeon has been formed from the mouth of the Dam River, which was their target. Now they are rushing with all their might towards none other than that siege.
“Jayang!”
“Why… Cough! “Why are you doing this!”
Miss Lee answered with a tired look on her face. If it were him normally, he wouldn’t have been so tired after running at this speed for about three o’clock. It seemed that the pressure of running in Gangnam rather than Haenam quickly took away his stamina.
“Where do you think you are now?”
“yes?”
“now!”
Lee Ja-yang rolled her eyes and thought.
“Well… since we’re running at this speed, it’s probably about time we arrive.”
“So doesn’t that mean we will soon face enemies?”
Lee Ja-yang’s face visibly stiffened.
“…Probably so.”
“Then shouldn’t we slow down now?”
“I think so too, but…”
Guo Hwan-so looked at the Cheonwoo Meng Dao running in the lead.
Miss Lee is a wise person. If Lee Ja-yang and Kwak Hwan-so’s thoughts are not different, then it must be considered general knowledge. But…
‘What are you thinking?’
Since I had passed a place where there were no enemies until now, I ran without hesitation. But aren’t things different from now on?
Common sense dictates that you should now slow down and move stealthily so as not to be noticed by enemies.
If there were more than two hundred people running like this, wouldn’t anyone, even if it wasn’t the Sapae-ryeon, notice?
‘A long sentence!’
Kwak Hwan-so’s gaze fell on Baek-cheon’s back.
No matter how much Kwak Hwan-so doesn’t know about war, he’s not an idiot who doesn’t know common sense. This is Gangnam. From the moment you are discovered by the enemy and battle begins, you will have to fight without stopping.
If so, wouldn’t it be necessary to somehow delay the timing of the first battle? Even if there is nothing you can do about it after you are discovered.
So why aren’t we still slowing down?
This time, Kwak Hwan-so’s eyes turned towards Geumyangbaek. Geumyangbaek just silently followed the footsteps of the Cheonwoo menagerie.
“Why doesn’t Jang Mun-in speak?”
“Isn’t it difficult for you to do it?”
“why?”
“After all, since you are Jang Mun-in… wouldn’t it be burdensome to discuss right and wrong with Hwasan’s Jang-mun representative and Cheon-u-maeng’s messenger?”
Those words had many complex meanings.
Of course, Kwak Hwan-so did not understand everything that meant, but he clearly understood one thing.
“I’ll go.”
“yes!”
Seeing that Lee Ja-yang’s answer was firm, it appears that it was the correct answer. Kwak Hwan-so put energy into his legs and ran forward.
“Language manager! Cheongmyeong seal!”
Cheongmyeong and Baekcheon, who were running, looked back at Kwak Hwanso.
“We are almost to where our enemies will be! Slow down now and be secretive now….”
“Kwak So-hyeop. ” “That was…”
It was the moment when Baekcheon was about to say something.
“Come on.”
“yes?”
Cheongmyeong stretched out his hand, grabbed Guo Huanxiao’s shoulder, and pulled him forward. Kwak Hwan-so was taken away without a thought and had a shocked expression on his face.
Baekcheon said then.
“This way?”
“This is better than the long book. “Jang Mun-in should lead Haenam.”
“…i get it.”
It was a conversation that Kwak Hwan-so could not understand at all. Baekcheon slipped away without further explanation and headed towards Geumyangbaek.
The moment Kwak Hwan-so was about to look around, a cold voice penetrated his ears.
“Don’t turn your head.”
Guo Huanxiao flinched and fixed his gaze forward. I don’t know the situation, but the moment I heard Cheongmyeong’s voice, I felt like it had to be that way.
“What can I do?”
“Watch carefully.”
“yes?”
“no. “To be precise, see and understand.”
“What is that….”
“I don’t have time to explain and teach. No matter how much I explain, you won’t understand, and no matter how much I teach you, you won’t understand. “The only way to do this is to feel it with your own skin and realize it with your senses.”
What does this mean?
“Instead, remember one thing clearly.”
“yes?”
“If you don’t learn, you will all die.”
Kwak Hwan-so’s face clearly hardened.
“It’s not a threat. If things continue like this, not a single one of you will be able to survive in Gangnam. So watch carefully. How we fight and how we move. “You feel it first and somehow convey it to them.”
“Dojo?”
Even though he was told not to turn his head, Guo Huanxiao ended up looking at Qingmyeong. What he faced at that moment was Cheongmyeong’s face, which was cold and frozen, unlike usual.
Guo Huanxiao looked at Qingming in silence and then turned his attention to the others. Anyway, Cheongmyeong is not someone he can understand. So, I tried to get answers from people who were at least similar to him.
But at that moment he realized.
Not only Hwasan’s disciples, but also Hyeyeon and Namgung Dowi’s party members, and even Lim So-byeong and Seol So-baek have facial expressions similar to Cheongmyeong.
They clearly share something the same now. The only person who could not share those feelings was Kwak Hwan-so.
‘This…’
If Cheongmyeong is right, after seeing and experiencing what is happening here, he too will be able to know the identity of this expression.
And that moment came faster and more suddenly than Kwak Hwan-so thought.
“stamp! Forward!”
“know.”
Cheongmyeong replied coldly and looked back. Baekcheon, who had fallen to the back, had already returned to the side. Baekcheon quickly shouted after receiving Cheongmyeong’s glance.
“Jo girl! Yoonjong!”
“yes!”
“left side! This theory is so small! To the right!”
“yes.”
As soon as Baekcheon’s instructions were finished, Hwasan’s four disciples rushed backwards.
‘Why back?’
Before Kwak Hwan-so’s doubts could fully arise, Baek-cheon’s instructions continued.
“Green Forest King! Geum Jangmun-in will take care of the rear. Please look at the overall situation in front of you! “Monk Hyeyeon, Namgung Soga Lord, and Tang Soga Lord, please assist in dangerous places in the central area!”
“All right.”
“yes!”
“Cheongmyeong!”
“say.”
Baekcheon’s voice lowered slightly.
“Go and bite!”
Upon hearing those words, Cheongmyeong raised one corner of his mouth and smiled coldly.
“Even if you don’t say it…”
Faaat.
“I was going to do that.”
At that moment, Cheongmyeong’s body shot forward like an arrow leaving the protest.
‘what?’
In the eyes of Kwak Hwan-so, who was still dumbfounded, all he could see was Cheongmyeong’s back running like a flash. After a while, black energy bloomed like an illusion within the field of vision, and dark red blood spurted out.
Sigh!
The body that had lost its head due to the sword wielded by Cheongmyeong gushed out blood.
Cheongmyeong, who killed two people with one sword, rushed forward without delay.
Kwak Hwan-so seemed to be half out of his mind. He didn’t feel it at all, so how did they know that the enemy was hiding there?
‘Oh no. Rather, it’s really okay to face an enemy like this….’
“Kwak So-hyeop!”
At that time, Baekcheon’s loud shout instantly blew away Kwak Hwanso’s distracting thoughts.
“yes! Yes, Deputy Jangmun!”
“Don’t lose sight of him and quickly catch up to him!”
“Back and back….”
“Never lose sight of it. That’s all Kwak Sohyeop has to do from now on. Just keep in mind.”
Baekcheon said while looking straight at Guo Huanxiao.
“If Kwak Sohyeop misses this guy, everyone who follows will die.”
“….”
“Even if you have to die, don’t let go and follow along with the readiness to die. “Don’t worry about what happens next.”
“Oh, I understand.”
“go!”
Baek-cheon pushed Kwak Hwan-so’s back hard.
Kwak Hwan-so, who took a stride forward due to that wind, soon gritted his teeth and ran toward Cheongmyeong’s back.
‘What is he saying now?’
These instructions are completely incomprehensible. Why are they talking so harshly about how great it is to not lose sight of the person in front of you?
Although he may not reach their level of inaction, he is a great disciple of Haenam. Is it really impossible to do that much?
And above all….
‘Why do you keep saying you’re dying?’
If you don’t learn, you die. If you miss, you die. It’s not like taking an immature child and scolding them and scaring them. What on earth are these words?
I felt impatient and angry at the same time. The moment Guo Huan-so was about to exhale to relieve his discomfort, Cheong-myeong suddenly increased his speed and quickly widened the distance between him and walked away.
“What!”
Kwak Hwan-so, who was startled, hurriedly kicked the ground with all his might. As I ran, jumping over the body that had been cut by the Amhyang Plum Sword, I saw Cheongmyeong, who had gone ahead, quickly swinging his sword.
“Aaaahhh!”
The people in ambush were cut down at once and let out screams. Blood splatters everywhere. The red, wet, falling faces clearly caught Kwak Hwan-so’s eyes.
The two people’s bodies crumble like rotten straw bales, and another person falls on his knees and twitches. But Cheongmyeong ran forward again, leaving the twitching man alone.
Guo Huanxiao’s eyes widened slightly.
Still alive. That person is still….
“Kruk….”
He, who was twitching, saw Guo Huansao running towards him and weakly raised his sword. At that moment, an indescribable conflict arose within Kwak Hwan-so.
Should I kill him?
But even if you leave it alone, it will die soon. There is no longer any ability to resist. Is it really right to cut down a tooth like that?
So should I just pass by? However, if the person does not die by the time the next person arrives, someone may be injured by the sword the author swings.
How on earth…
Before he could even finish worrying, Kwak Hwan-so arrived right in front of the person who was falling. The hand holding the sword trembled without my knowledge.
‘Wish, swing….’
“Ugh…. Ugh!”
At that moment, venom bloomed in the eyes of the person who was collapsing. He stood up and swung his sword at Guo Hwan-so. It was a force so powerful that it was hard to believe it was wielded by someone who was dying.
Embarrassed, Kwak Hwan-so opened his eyes wide.
‘It’s late…!’
Just when he thought it was too late to react, something hot suddenly poured onto his face as he tried to close his eyes.
“Uh…”
Kwak Hwan-so’s body trembled.
Something elongated was sticking out of the forehead of Safain, who was swinging the sword. It was a sword.
Kwak Hwan-so subconsciously touched his damp face.
Slippery and warm texture. What he was covered in was blood.
The sword pierced his head, and the blood that came out was all over his face…
Wow!
Cheongmyeong’s fist landed on Kwak Hwan-so’s face.
“Oops!”
Kwak Hwan-so was lying on the ground in a miserable condition. When he finally came to his senses and raised his head, Cheongmyeong suddenly came running to him, grabbed him by the collar, and forced him up.
“Wake up you idiot.”
“Dojang….”
Without a chance to say anything, Cheongmyeong pulled Guo Huansao closer to his face. Kwak Hwan-so froze in that momentum.
“On the battlefield, the one who hesitates is the first to die. “A single hesitation can kill not only you but everyone else.”
“….”
“If you hesitate to swing your sword one more time, then I will kill you. If you’re going to lose, do it alone! okay?”
“Ah, I understand…”
Cheongmyeong threw Guo Huanso away without even listening to the answer. After gritting his teeth, Cheongmyeong shot another stern look and turned around.
“Get used to it.”
That low voice penetrated Kwak Hwan-so’s ears as if piercing them.
“It’s a sight I’ll never tire of seeing from now on.”
Guo Huanxiao’s body convulsed.
