Episode 1295 This is just the beginning. (5)
“Well, I have a little arm here…”
“It’s okay like this. Just go to the assistant over there and get disinfected.”
“…Soso. Still, I am your brother…”
“What?”
“….no.”
Tang So-so, accompanied by a party troupe, quickly began tending to the wounds of the Haenam disciples. Although he was quite confident in his medical skills, I couldn’t bring myself to take the lead as I watched Dang So-so treating the wounds. “When did you learn all that
? “He’s very skilled.”
“Brother, just stay in this damn clan for a year. You can suture cuts and other wounds while eating sugar.”
“Ah…”
I don’t know what it would be like when it comes to internal injuries, but there was no way not to admit that Tang Soso was much more skilled at at least when it came to external injuries.
“Woah, hurry up here…”
“Don’t act harshly over a little scratch, just wait. Can’t you see the people with bigger injuries?”
“I’m sorry.”
“Next!”
“Yes, Sojeo! I…”
Geumyangbaek’s expression hardened as he looked at the disciples flocking to Tang Soso.
‘…I’m a member of the National Assembly.’
There is no way that the Haenam faction, one of the old factions, does not have a medical party. However, most of the members of the medical party left Haenam during this excommunication. This is probably because they are not major combatants and have no reason to risk their lives fighting. ‘Even if they existed
, ‘Would it have been helpful in this situation?’
Probably not.
They have no experience treating someone with such serious injuries. At best, they only know how to treat those with internal injuries. Even if they had come along, it would probably have been fortunate if they didn’t get in the way. “…That person
. “What about you?”
“I am from the Tang family.”
Baekcheon calmly answered Geumyangbaek’s question.
“I am the daughter of the Tanggunak family of the Sacheondang family. I entered Hwasan because of a connection. Now, I am the main force of Hwasan Medicine Party.”
“…Medicine Hall…”
“Yes.”
“Our sect is very good at this because there are so many people getting hurt here and there.”
“….”
“So you don’t have to worry about injuries. Of course, excessive injuries will be a little difficult, but we will be able to provide all possible treatment here.”
A sigh escaped from Geumyangbaek’s mouth.
Seeing the people rushing to receive treatment, I finally realized how important a doctor is on the battlefield. Someday, I will save my life and my life. Even though he was determined that he would have to fight a war, he was being ridiculously complacent about this aspect.
Geumyangbaek even felt uncomfortable with himself.
“Hwasan… Since when did you start preparing for all this? “
“I didn’t really prepare for it. It just happened naturally.”
“… You have too much humility.”
At Geumyangbaek’s words, Baekcheon just smiled bitterly.
It may have sounded humble, but Baekcheon was just telling it like it was. Hwasan was at the Medicine Hall in preparation for a war in the distant future. Did he have to put in much effort?
By chance, Soso joined him, and after going through numerous battles and treating countless people injured during sparring with real swords, his skills grew dramatically. Soso’s abilities are amazing, but he was originally the youngest of the volcanoes
. It must have been difficult for him to gain this much strength.
However, the reason why Tang Xiaoso was able to grow to his heart’s content with such strength…
Baekcheon glanced at Cheongmyeong.
‘It must be because that guy lost to Soso.’
No, looking back, Cheongmyeong was the only one who raised his voice and said that he thought the council member was precious.
If you were to ask whether Hwasan was prepared, you would have to say no…
“But there is no time to continue like this. The enemy is probably still closing the distance.”
“…I guess so.”
Geumyangbaek nodded heavily.
Still, it was fortunate that there was someone who could provide treatment like this. If you force a march without being able to take care of your wounds, the longer you are chased by the enemy, the worse the situation will be. Because this will only get worse.
“Don’t worry too much about what he said a moment ago.”
“…Long sentence.”
“He may say that, but he is a cruel person on the inside.”
Geumyangbaek shook his head.
“Deputy Jangmun. “I am also a human being and an unmanned soldier.”
“….”
“How can you not know how difficult it is to break through the siege from the front? It was something I should have done in the first place. No matter what I hear from the person in charge of the task, what can I do? “ Can you blame even the smallest particle of dust
?”
“…Thank you for at least saying that.”
“No, I really think so. In Haenam, too…”
Geumyangbaek closed his mouth before speaking. But Baekcheon knew what he was trying to say. It was possible.
If there had been at least one person like Cheongmyeong in Haenam, the situation would not have come to this point. He probably wanted to say that. But it was not
something a scholar from a certain sect would say out loud. If he were to avoid it, he would end up harming other disciples and even elders. Because it would be a dismissive comment,
Baekcheon took a long breath and asked Tang Xiaosu.
“So Xiao. Was it too far?”
There was a lot to say, but right now it wasn’t a situation suitable for leisurely conversation. Even at this moment, the enemy was probably closing the distance.
“It’s done! Sasuk!”
Dang Soso answered immediately and quickly looked around. Then, he frowned slightly as if something caught his eye.
“there!”
“yes?”
“You have a wound on your stomach! “Come here quickly!”
“Oh no, this is okay.”
“Why are you judging that? It’s up to the lawmakers to make the decision! Anyway, those who hold swords think their bodies are made of cast iron!”
“…Yes?”
“Aren’t you coming here?”
The person who had been scolded was dejected and ran towards the direction of the Tang Soso. His clothes were roughly rolled up. Tang Soso quickly inspected the wound. There was no hesitation in his hands as he applied plaster and roughly sewed up the open wound.
“Ugh…”
“Don’t be harsh. Because there are so many people who are sicker.”
“…Yes.”
Dang So-so, who had even wrapped a bandage, looked around and said to everyone.
“There are limits to the treatment that can be given while escaping. At that time, only first aid can be given. Will.”
“yes.”
“But still, come to me as soon as you get the chance. If you put it off because of circumstances and neglect your body to get hurt, it will become a real burden later on. Do you know what I mean?”
“yes! All right.”
“good.”
Tang Xiaoxiao stood up from his seat and looked back at Bai Qian.
“It’s really done. “Sasuk.”
“okay.”
Baekcheon smiled slightly and nodded.
The situation was still urgent, but the thought that a party office was a party office no matter where it was made me laugh strangely.
“Everyone, let’s set off right away.”
“Yes.”
“Keep in mind, the enemies we have faced so far are not the true strength of the Battle League. Perhaps the real Battle League will face us soon.”
At those words, the tension that had briefly loosened tightened again. Everyone felt a chill go down their spines and their faces hardened.
Although Baekcheon knew the truth, he didn’t want to think about it, but he was forced to bring it out in front of everyone.
“But if you follow our instructions properly, we will definitely lead you all the way to Gangbuk. So please do your best.”
“All right. “Mr. Jangmun.”
Geumyangbaek answered before his disciples. As he played, the other students all nodded.
It seemed that the trust that had fallen slightly had been greatly restored thanks to the party’s office.
“Monk Hyeyeon, are you okay?”
Hyeyeon smiled at Baekcheon’s question.
“About five is no problem.”
“Monk…”
“But… please do not give the Cheongmyeong gift to me even if I am injured. I would rather die than carry that person. “If you can’t decide, at least cover your mouth.”
“What, man?”
“…Amitabha Buddha.”
Baekcheon laughed a little at Hyeyeon’s joke.
A person’s true strength comes out at times like this. In that sense, both Tang Soso and Hyeyeon were really strong people.
“I will leave. Please prepare your formation well.”
“Yes!”
Those who had taken care of the wounded immediately started running again.
Paaaaaa!
‘Definitely…’
Kwak Hwan-so nodded, expressing deep admiration.
Even if it was only for a short time, it was a blessing in disguise. The difference was enormous. I could feel my legs gaining strength. Thanks to this, I was able to move forward at a faster pace. The problem is that from now on, I won’t even have enough time to
do this.
At that time, Jo Geol spoke to someone in my ear. A voice said,
“Death penalty.”
“huh?”
“Don’t you think the siege has loosened a bit? I can’t feel anything up front? “It may be out of my senses, but…”
“I’m sure it’s not an illusion,”
Yoonjong answered calmly.
“No matter how many Sapaeryeons there are and they dominate Gangnam, they are so numerous that they can fill the entire Gangnam with troops. “It’s not that bad.”
“Of course.”
“In the end, we will have no choice but to create several layers of suitable siege nets. Since we have broken through the first siege net, we will probably pass through a section where there are no enemies for a while.”
“Then isn’t it more worth doing than you think? They say you only need to pierce it a few times like this…”
Yunjong’s voice penetrated the ears of Kwak Hwan-so, who was trying to agree with his words inwardly.
“Probably not.”
“Why?”
“Sapaeryun would not have thought that they could stop us as their first line of defense. The role of the first line of defense would simply be to delay us for a moment. “To buy time to set a proper trap for the next line of defense.” “
….A defense line where the Saepaeryeon were mobilized?”
“okay.”
“Well… you guessed that anyway, didn’t you? “If we just keep doing it now, we’ll be able to break through.”
“Yeah, I think so too.”
Yoonjong smiled at Jogeol and then glanced back. I saw Hyeyeon running silently with a sheepskin wrapped around her shoulders.
‘Like now… if we can do it.’
The most serious problem is not external.
A little while ago, Yoonjong clearly saw the possibility of a rift. Only this time, Dang So-so and Hye-yeon came forward, so somehow things were able to go smoothly.
But what if the number of injured increases further?
If the number of injured increases and we are forced to slow down our advance, we will enter a vicious cycle in which more people will be held back and injured.
What to do then?
Will you die carrying the wounded? Or will we abandon the executioners who were like blood brothers and hurry on our way?
Volcanoes found the answer.
They went through a lot for a long time, fought and argued with each other, and accepted what path they should take. Others repeatedly point their fingers at things that are utterly meaningless.
But there was no such process in Haenam.
Therefore, they will have to face it from now on. What does it mean to risk one’s life to observe the grand good intentions and principles that were only discussed in words?
Maybe… after the seemingly impossible act of ending Gangnam, what they must face may be a face to face with their ugly selves that they have kept hidden in their hearts.
‘Primordial Heavenly Zone.’
Yoonjong quietly closed his eyes.
I could only hope and hope that the hell they would have to face even a volcano someday would not hurt them too deeply.
