Episode 1301 What the heck is this guy? (1)
It was quiet.
No, actually, the word silence does not fit.
The sound of injured and poisoned people moaning and screaming continues to spread.
But it was still quiet.
Those treating the injured, those helping them, and even those preparing to move again had nothing to say.
Because I realized it.
We have fought the enemy so far.
He desperately fought and fought, somehow breaking through the enemies blocking his way and sinking the sword into his throbbing neck.
It was extremely difficult and scary, but at least the enemies were desperate to stop them at the time.
So, paradoxically, I was able to see hope.
Because that desperate battle was proof that we were moving in the right direction.
However, the enemy that blocked their path a little while ago obediently cleared the way for the first time.
As if I could aim again at any time.
It’s as if they’re saying that even if you don’t desperately try to block the way, you won’t be able to escape because there is no way out.
That made everyone here realize the reality.
Guo Hwan-so poured energy into the lower abdomen of the poisoned and trembling brother-in-law.
While desperately trying to help the injured, his mind was busy with other thoughts.
‘Can I survive?’
Is there really light at the end of this road?
Maybe…maybe we have already stepped into a swamp that we can never escape from?
The more he struggled to get out, the deeper he fell into the swamp…
Kwak Hwan-so soon bit his lip.
‘What kind of foolish idea are you thinking?’
I came to know that there was almost no chance of returning alive anyway.
It was to prove it.
To let the world know that those who use the name of Haenam were not helplessly defeated by the enemy.
There is no need to feel discouraged just because you reconfirmed something you already knew.
“execution.”
Before I knew it, Miss Lee approached me and started talking to me. Kwak Hwan-so asked.
“…How is the situation?”
“Thanks to the people of our party, addiction can be dealt with somehow. “If it were just us, we wouldn’t have been able to do anything.”
“…I’m glad.”
A sigh of relief naturally escaped from Kwak Hwan-so’s mouth.
‘If there was no party….’
I realized once again how reckless and complacent it was to try to resist the Sapaeryun in Haenam.
If they had fought a desperate battle in Haenam Island, even if they had taken advantage of the terrain, they would have ended up being swept away one-sidedly.
There is no way to detoxify the enemy right now, so what can you do?
A strong person can drive out poison.
In a powerhouse, this is common sense.
However, that is only when the body is in a perfect state and a situation is given where one can focus entirely on the poison and perform the attack.
How many people in Haenam can do that?
Every time we discussed poison, I felt like I wanted to rip out my tongue, as I had always told myself that addiction was nothing if I improved my skills.
What on earth do you think you know so easily?
“But… the poison can be detoxified, but the wound…”
“I guess so…”
Because he wasn’t poisoned by breathing, but was stabbed with a poisoned weapon.
Even if no poison is applied, it is fatal.
It is impossible to recover from such injuries in a short period of time.
“Who is dead?”
“…about four.”
“That’s a good thing.”
Kwak Hwan-so, who had answered indifferently, was momentarily shocked and kept his mouth shut.
‘Thank God?’
Four people died.
Four people who had met face to face for at least ten years died.
Still, he calmly said he was glad.
A feeling of extreme disgust came over me.
About myself, who simply accepts people’s deaths as numbers, without even confirming exactly who those four are.
“Let’s move.”
At the words he heard at that time, Kwak Hwan-so suddenly looked away with bloodshot eyes.
Now I couldn’t afford to listen carefully.
Also, it was just a rumor that the battlefield was like this anyway…
But at that moment, Kwak Hwan-so was speechless.
Namgungdowi. He was giving me a sad look.
“We can’t take any more time. We don’t have much time. “If we don’t move, we’re going to lose more people.”
I have also heard of Kwak Hwan-so.
That the Namgung family lost more than half of its power on Maehwa Island.
The fact that we barely escaped from the hellish Maehwa Island with the help of a volcano.
There, Nangong Daowi lost his family and even his father.
We have already experienced a much more terrible situation than the reality we face now.
But rather than running away, he walked back into this hell on his own feet.
How could that be?
I didn’t take it too seriously, but after going through this, I was able to understand it too.
What a ridiculous thing Namgung Do-wi is doing right now.
“…Nangung Soga Lord.”
“yes.”
“…Are you okay?”
It was a question that may have seemed somewhat unexpected.
However, Namgung Do-wi gave a calm look as if he fully knew what Kwak Hwan-so was trying to say, and then answered.
“There’s no way it’s going to be okay.”
“….”
“But what can we do?”
Nangung Daowi’s eyes were calm.
“It doesn’t end with Namgung and Haenam. “If we can’t do something about this, everyone in the world will end up experiencing something like this.”
“But…”
“If it was a problem that could be solved by turning a blind eye and running away, then of course I would have done that. But if you can’t do that, there’s only one way. “We fight against it instead of turning away from it.”
Kwak Hwan-so’s shoulders trembled.
Nangong Daowi, who saw the look in his eyes, spoke with a bit of humility.
“Of course… I’m saying this in a boastful way, but I didn’t know it myself. “I just watched and learned.”
Namgung Dowi looked towards Cheongmyeong and Baekcheon.
The atmosphere seemed quite serious, as if they were talking about the future direction.
Namgung Dowi looked at him for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders and continued.
“Actually, I don’t know yet. “What should I do? Is it the right thing to do or is it the best way to do it?”
“….”
“But at least there are people who know that. So I just have to follow it. “I believe that one day I will be able to see what they are seeing.”
He paused for a moment, took a long breath, and nodded slowly.
“yes. “That’s it.”
That is why I am standing here.
“…I don’t understand.”
“Of course it will. “I don’t really understand what you’re saying.”
Nangong Daowi smiled slightly and patted Guo Huanxiao on the shoulder.
“But one thing I know is that anyone who is in a position to lead someone should not look like that.”
“….”
“Even if it’s hard, even if your mind is complicated and confused, at least your outward expression must always remain unwavering. “That way, others won’t be shaken either.”
Kwak Hwan-so nods his head.
That is correct.
Many people here will be looking at him.
“Let’s go.”
“yes.”
Kwak Hwan-so raised his heavy body.
And he immediately joined Geumyangbaek, who was encouraging his students, and began to help.
Nangung Dowi, who had been watching this for a while, suddenly felt sorry and shook his head and turned to Baekcheon and Cheongmyeong.
It will be difficult.
Although he said it in a boastful way, didn’t Namgung Dowi also lament that he couldn’t do anything properly when the Gasols started dying on Maehwa Island?
Facing the sight of someone you were talking to with a smile until yesterday dying screaming before your eyes is not a shock you can bear.
It doesn’t seem like it’s gone just because time passes.
No matter how dull it becomes, it remains as a scar in my heart and never goes away.
If this war continues, one day the heart will disappear, covered in wounds and scars.
“Jangmun Assistant Manager.”
Baekcheon looked back at Namgung Dowi.
“The number of people who have difficulty moving has increased significantly.”
Baekcheon nodded heavily at those words.
Nangong Daowi asked.
“…What do you plan to do?”
It was a question that contained many things.
Although they cannot bring it up in front of others, Baekcheon and Namgung Dowi are in a position to lead a sect.
All circumstances must be considered.
“I lead everyone.”
“It will slow you down.”
“I know. Still, I lead everyone.”
“…All right.”
There’s a lot I want to say.
If we lead this many wounded people forward, it will become even more difficult to escape the pursuit of the Maninbang main force.
Then it might really be dangerous for everyone.
But Nangong Daowi didn’t say anything. All the choices belong to Baekcheon.
And there is no way Baekcheon didn’t know all these facts before that.
Nangung Dowi just wanted to ask one thing.
“Jangmun Assistant Manager.”
“Yes, Lord Soga.”
“What does Haenam mean to you?”
At that question, Baekcheon looked straight at Namgung Dowi.
Baekcheon, who was staring at Namgung Dowi in silence, slowly opened his mouth.
“It’s no different.”
“….”
“Namgoong and.”
Namgung Do-wi, who was silent for a moment, burst out laughing.
It was a dumb question and a wise answer.
Until now, Baekcheon was thought to be excellent in all aspects, but lacking in the aspects of a Taoist, as befits a Taoist monk.
However, it seems that this too was Namgung Dowi’s mistake.
It is no different from Namgung.
Yes. If you think about it, Hwasan was a sect that had no reason to come to Maehwa Island.
However, Namgung Dowi regarded them as a ray of light and knelt earnestly in front of them, and Hwasan risked his life without hesitation at Namgung Dowi’s request.
But what more answer do you need?
These people are like this.
The light that Namgung Dowi saw at that time was so dazzling.
So much so that I wanted to become like that myself.
But when I actually entered the light, I understood.
These were like candles.
Aren’t you burning yourself and emitting light?
But that makes it even more dazzling.
“What is the plan?”
“It’s no different than the first time.”
Baekcheon said firmly.
“Looking at the enemy’s movements, we can see that a defensive line is being built up front again.”
“The King of Green Forest also said so.”
“I’m going through it.”
“….”
“There is no time to detour. The enemy’s main force, led by Hu Jiaming, must have now reached a short distance away. Besides, they will be aware of our every move, so there is no way to escape.”
“Deputy Jangmun. It is not my intention to go against Director Jang Moon’s opinion. But then it’s no different than before, right?”
“It changes.”
It was Cheongmyeong, not Baekcheon, who gave the answer.
Nangong Daowi looked at Cheongmyeong with puzzled eyes.
Cheongmyeong spoke firmly again without giving any further explanation.
“It changes.”
Nangong Daowi stared at him for a moment and slowly nodded.
If Cheongmyeong says so, no further explanation is needed.
Nangung Dowi firmly believed in that person as Cheongmyeong of the Hwasan Sword Association.
Namgung Dowi lightly patted my chest.
“Then I will risk my life too. “We will definitely break through.”
Cheongmyeong chuckled when he saw Namgung Dowi’s bright smile.
“Sweetheart.”
For the first time in a while, a small smile appeared.
