Episode 1576. Take it somewhere. (1)
“There are not enough people in Hebei!”
“There’s a panga there! Besides, not many people have gone to Hebei yet.”
“Panga is currently vacating the base. We need more support. If we don’t mess up, they might invade Beijing. If that happens….”
“Then, provide more support to the group in Henan to Hebeuk. Hanam will endure longer because there is Shaolin.”
“Isn’t there still no movement in Songshan’s Shaolin?”
“are you okay! “Please do as I say!”
“yes!”
Dangsoso quickly urged.
“Again! next!”
“We have a group of medical personnel who have left due to injury. “They said they would like additional medical personnel to be dispatched.”
“You got injured just dealing with those people?”
“…I was turned away during treatment.”
Tang Xiaoxiao bit his lip slightly.
It is human instinct to aim at the person holding the knife before the person holding the needle. However, it was also human instinct to try to finish off the weak who showed their backs.
This is a defeat that comes from not being able to predict this in advance.
If the opponent’s level had been a little higher, the damage would have increased exponentially.
“We need to reorganize our code of conduct. First, please send personnel to replace the injured.”
“There are no staff left now.”
“Merge two teams with fewer people into one and support the one remaining medical center. Among those who went to the north if possible!”
“Yes, I understand!”
All instructions flowed like water without a hitch.
Everyone watching from a distance clicked their tongues.
“…It’s amazing.”
“I know.”
It’s not that difficult to sit down and give instructions. However, in a situation where reports and problems are pouring in sporadically, it is difficult even for a seasoned powerhouse to make an immediate judgment and find the best answer.
This is what Dangsoso is doing skillfully.
“Is it something you were born with?”
“After all, since my father is my father… I must have seen and learned something from when I was young.”
“Are you saying it is the bloodline of the Tang family?”
Everyone was impressed by Tang Soso’s calm appearance.
But in fact, her heart was rotting away. she asked in a higher voice.
“What about the Tang group that went to support the Yangtze River?”
“Well… it arrived, but there’s a bit of a problem.”
“Problem?”
Tang Xiaoxiao’s eyes became sharp in an instant. Then the person who spoke was startled and answered as if shouting.
“We reached the nearby area to provide support, but some groups ran into the water sheds that were moving alone! “It looks like they were unable to join the volcano because they were engaged in combat.”
Tang Soso clenched his fists tightly inside the wide sleeves that were characteristic of the Tang family.
“So what is the response?”
“It seems like the sacrifice would be too great to attempt a breakthrough, so I ask you to give me an order.”
Tang Xiaoxiao’s eyelashes fluttered.
Even if an order were given here, by the time they received it, the situation would have already ended.
There is no way those on the battlefield would not know that. Asking for an order ultimately means not jumping into battle.
But you can’t blame anyone. Isn’t it suicidal to advance through an entire force with only a dozen or so people?
“Then…”
Tang Soso’s mouth, which had been spitting out an answer like a clear blue water, stopped for the first time.
You should not appear embarrassed or anxious. That is the duty of those who stand here. I know that… but sometimes that duty felt harsh. Just like now.
“First of all…”
It was at that time when I was trying to give instructions while pressing down on my stomach, which felt like it was going to burn to ashes.
“It’s urgent! Yangtze River! “It’s an emergency on the Yangtze River!”
Tang Soso’s head suddenly turned in that direction.
“The group charged into the enemy! “Hwasan people kill the Black Dragon King Jeok Se-gwang!”
Kill it.
The moment Tang Soso heard those words, his legs suddenly lost strength.
“It is said that the remnants of Surochae are dispersing!”
“Ah…”
As Tang Xiaoso stumbled, Tang Ming quickly grabbed her arm and supported her. A overwhelmed voice came out.
“You did it! “You did it, Soso!”
“….”
A frustrated sigh escaped Tang Xiaoxiao’s mouth. I want to throw out a bunch of curses, but I don’t even have the energy to do so right now.
“Anyway, really…”
Her face, which had been colored with relief, slowly became worried again.
“Who is injured?”
“That hasn’t been reported yet….”
“If the water channels are scattering, the water channels blocking the front will also retreat! “Let’s report the situation immediately and send lawmakers to the battlefield, quickly!”
“yes!”
Tang Xiaoxiao once again breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn’t until the definitive report came in that my worries went away, but it was comforting to know that I had avoided the worst situation I had imagined.
“You’re lucky, Soso.”
“…Yes uncle.”
The party leader nodded with a bright face.
“I never thought I would actually do it. “Your executioners are truly people who know no limits.”
“…There are no limits to accidents. “I never thought they would do something even though there is no death penalty in Cheongmyeong.”
“haha. “The death penalty resembles the original…. Huh.”
As Tang Xiaoxiao’s eyes sharpened, Tang Ming cleared his throat and slightly averted his gaze. The joke eased the tense air.
“Anyway, I’m going to nag you until your ears bleed later. “What on earth were you thinking!”
Tang Soso gritted his teeth. But her face was noticeably different from before, with relief.
“Well, first of all…”
She was about to compose herself and give instructions again.
Beep!
Suddenly, a high-pitched sound like a whistle rang out from above.
Tang Xiaoxiao hurriedly looked up and saw a small golden bird hovering in the blue sky.
Tang Xiaoxiao’s eyes briefly wavered.
“That is…”
I reflexively stretched out my arm and the circling golden bird quickly landed on top of it. A mailbox was tied to his feet.
Tang Soso quickly opened the container and unfolded the war certificate.
“Ah…”
Eventually, a sigh as if in pain escaped my lips.
* * *
“Hey, it’s been a while.”
“…that crazy bastard.”
“It’s coming quickly, it’s coming quickly!”
“You’re completely fine.”
“Buy, buy. Why is it black?”
Cheongmyeong appeared, calmly waving his hand. Baekcheon and Yunjong cursed, and Yui Seol drew her sword.
Cheongmyeong shrugged his shoulders.
“But how did everyone survive so well?”
“Sasuk… can I kill you?”
“…If I had the ability, I would have done it already.”
“Okay. “If only my body was fine.”
Baekcheon, who had been rolling his eyes, suddenly burst into laughter. Baekcheon used to feel like his body would break every time he laughed, but now he knows better than anyone else that being able to feel this pain is a blessing.
If I hadn’t been careful, I would have become famous here.
“I really thought I was going to die this time.”
“What’s new? “You’ve always been like that, right?”
“…He is like that too.”
Is this normal? Could there be something seriously wrong from the root?
At that time, Cheongmyeong glanced at the body of the Black Dragon King lying on the ground. The situation is indescribably miserable. However, it is a very fitting death for a wicked person who committed numerous evil deeds.
“You guys…”
Cheongmyeong trailed off, as if he was a bit confused. Baekcheon chuckled.
“okay. We really did it. Now…”
“At best…”
“…Huh?”
Cheongmyeong’s gaze turned to the sword of Ogeok. The eyes are shining ominously.
Ohgeom and Hyeyeon flinched without realizing it.
“Why are you putting your body down like that just to catch one bastard like this?”
“uh?”
“Just handling this one thing? “At best?”
“….”
“Oh my dear… Oh my! What sins did I commit in my past life to bring these things…! “I’ve been raising him for so many years, but I still can’t catch one of these guys!”
“…You didn’t raise him on your piggyback.”
When you carry me, my feet drag on the ground. You have to think about your height…
Oh no, not this one.
“Is that what the guy who sneaked out after the situation was over would say?”
“Then wait! “Why is it my fault that they started it all without saying a word?”
“That’s right.”
“Honestly, that was Sasuk’s mistake.”
“You idiot.”
Clutter.
Baekcheon gritted his teeth as fast as he could. Other guys, that’s normal, so why is that person sitting along? Here, the person who held the greatest grudge against Cheongmyeong must have been Jingeumryong!
“Why are you staring? “Do you have anything to say?”
Baekcheon’s face distorted a little more.
However, the back of Jin Geum-ryong, who blocked his path without hesitation at the moment of crisis, is still clearly visible. So even though it was unpleasant, I couldn’t say anything. I have to quickly erase this memory…
“Anyway.”
Tsk, tsk, Cheongmyeong clicked his tongue and this time turned his attention to Namgung Dowi. The surviving people of Namgung Se and members of each group were clinging to Namgung Dowi and patching up his wounds.
The injuries suffered by the others could not be said to be minor, but Namgung Do-wi was literally as good as a corpse still alive.
“hmm.”
As Cheongmyeong approached Namgungdowi, the people surrounding him got out of the way and opened the way.
Namgung Dowi, who was hanging out, noticed that Cheongmyeong had arrived and with difficulty turned his head.
“Do…jang….”
“You’ve become quite handsome, huh? “You really are a handsome man beyond compare?”
At those words, Namgung Do-wi, whose face was swollen and swollen, smiled brightly. It was a smile that could not be said to be cool even with empty words. However, it could not be denied that it was a smile that looked infinitely reassuring.
“I like it better this way too.”
“It’s a pity that I don’t have a yearning. “I could make you regret those words right away.”
Cheongmyeong burst out laughing.
Of course, that’s what he said, but Cheongmyeong also liked Nangong Daowi’s face much more now. There can be no more authentic unmanned face than this.
“But…”
Nangung Dowi flinched as if he was about to turn to one side. It seemed as if he wanted to focus his attention on those who had been sacrificed among those who came here with him.
“Even if I die, I can’t say it was a good choice.”
But Cheongmyeong did not let him turn his head and blame himself.
“At least Emperor Nangong will be proud.”
Surprised, Nangong Daowi looked blankly at Cheongmyeong. Cheongmyeong said crudely.
“…Good work.”
“no. Seal…”
Cheongmyeong examined Namgung Dowi’s wounds and clicked his tongue.
Although it is a glorious wound, it is excessive. Even if I can’t do it, wouldn’t I have to lie down like a corpse for a month to even be able to function as a human being?
‘But after that… it will definitely be different.’
A warrior who climbs a mountain often becomes a different person than before.
“Cheongmyeong.”
Baekcheon approached Cheongmyeong.
“I need to get moving again soon.”
“hmm?”
Cheongmyeong furrowed his eyebrows. Of course, it is nothing compared to Nangong Daowi, but objectively, Baekcheon’s situation is not good, so what already….
“Of the number of enemies who fled, about one-third headed north. If we can’t get rid of them, capturing the Black Dragon King will be meaningless.”
“hmm.”
Baekcheon’s calm words quietly nodded as if Cheongmyeong had a point. He then glanced at the remaining five swords and said.
“That’s true.”
“okay. Then right away…”
“But why do we have to do that?”
“…huh?”
Cheongmyeong gestured toward the north.
“If you were going to do everything with your own hands, why did you make it? “I do it all by myself.”
“….”
As Baekcheon slowly closed his mouth, Cheongmyeong spoke calmly.
“If you can do what only you can do, leave it to others to do. “That’s right.”
A look of bewilderment appeared on Baekcheon’s face.
“Did the person who knew that live like that?”
“What am I?”
“…okay. “If I talk about it, my mouth will only hurt.”
Baekcheon shook his head.
Although we had just finished a grueling battle, the atmosphere was not bad. No, it was extremely bright.
Although they did not necessarily share their opinions, it was clear how much benefit capturing the Black Dragon King would bring to this war.
Baekcheon quickly restrained himself from letting go.
“First of all, the injured…”
That was right then.
Kiiiiii!
A familiar crying sound reached my ears.
I reflexively turned my head and saw a familiar white figure running like a flash from afar.
“…Baek?”
“huh?”
Cheongmyeong’s face also hardened slightly.
Baek-ah, as her nickname White Lightning, ran quickly and climbed onto Cheong-myeong’s body.
Kiyi!
Then, he unzipped the bundle he was carrying with his small paws and took out the war book inside.
“What happened…”
Cheongmyeong opened the letter Baekah had handed her with a stern expression.
Sapaeryeon is moving north due north. Go to war against Shaolin and the Nine factions. Opinion required.
Cheongmyeong’s eyes widened.
“now?”
The blood drained from his face. With a squeak, he turned his head and looked west.
To an ominous land a thousand miles beyond.
* * *
“Ryeonju.”
“hmm?”
“…The regular reports from the person attached to the Black Dragon King have been cut off. Maybe…”
“Hmm.”
The corners of Jang Il-so’s mouth rose slightly.
“Tsk tsk. Unfortunately… if I had the time, I would have held a funeral.”
Hu Jiaming’s complexion hardened.
“The news just stopped. No matter how much I lost one arm, I still have a little more left….”
“A pseudonym, a pseudonym. Was it not enough for you to understand even after going through something like that?”
“….”
“It’s just a matter of time anyway. Even if the Black Dragon King’s arm is intact.”
Hu Jiaming nodded at the undeniable words.
The Black Dragon King cannot return alive. From the beginning, his role was just a bait. Since he was sure to attract the person he was aiming for with his life, he had fulfilled his role sufficiently.
In that sense, wouldn’t it be possible to say that the Black Dragon King’s death was extremely valuable?
“Bring it here.”
When Hu Jiaming gestured, one of the lieutenants quickly ran over and held out a bottle of alcohol to Jang Ilso. Jang Il-so took the bottle without even looking at him and opened the cap.
“Hmm.”
Jang Il-so slowly savored the liquor, tilted the bottle slightly, and calmly took a drink.
After taking a couple of sips, he lowered the bottle with a leisurely hand and expressed his carefree sentiment.
“It’s a good drink.”
“….”
“Hmm? “Why do you look at me like that?”
“No… it’s nothing.”
Hu Jiaming looked a little embarrassed. Jang Il-so chuckled.
“why? “Did you think I could at least create a requiem for the Black Dragon King with this drink?”
Hu Jiaming could not answer. Because it is true that I thought so.
“There is no need for that.”
A cool sneer appeared on Jang Il-so’s lips.
“It’s a waste of alcohol to waste on such a bastard.”
It was when Hu Jiaming was about to bow his head in silence.
“Besides… isn’t there a separate requiem for him?”
“yes?”
Jang Il-so’s eyes turned to the wide land spread out in front of him. The strangely shining eyes seemed to be boiling over now.
It’s coming soon.
When the sun sets today, this land will be dyed bright red. Darker than the sunset that colors the sky with blood that is thicker than this kind of alcohol.
“All the pieces fell into place. “Now we must hold a requiem. A requiem for those who are dying, not for those who have died.”
It was a voice that seemed to put emphasis on the ominous energy that was flowing through this land.
