Episode 771 They say that if you fall behind, you all lose! (1)
Sigh!
Large ships line up and cut through the current of the Yangtze River.
The clearest sky. The cold river wind blowing. And even the fleets that advance while creating foam.
It was a wonderful sight on the outside, but in reality it was not so beautiful.
“I didn’t know sooner!”
“Do you want these little bastards to fall into the water…or hang upside down on the boat?”
bandit.
These rugged guys, who were supposed to stay away from water and love the mountains and forests, were on a boat and scolding their enemies.
“Stir faster! “If the boat is late, sparks will fly on us too!”
“Beat the drum! Speed up!”
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
On the floor of the cabin, the enemy scowled and pulled the oars. Every time I moved, the muscles in my entire body swelled as if screaming.
Thanks to this, the boat went straight through the rough waters of the Yangtze River.
“Uh huh. Cool.”
Cheongmyeong smiled as the wind blew. Basically, I prefer mountains to rivers, but on a day like this, the river wind didn’t seem that bad.
Of course, this wind… is closer to something created by people than a river.
“Hmm. Siwon… um… Siwon….”
Cheongmyeong’s face, which had been relaxed, began to slowly become irritated. Then, it suddenly became distorted.
“no! You couldn’t even eat blood porridge! Why did it explode so slowly!”
“…I think it’s fast enough?”
“When I drove it, it was five times faster.”
“…For an ordinary person, this is the best.”
“Anyway, these days, people don’t have grit, they have grit! “Can’t you drive faster?”
Then, Nokrimdo, who was watching from behind, spoke cautiously with a dejected look on his face.
“Well… we are squeezing out numbers, but there are a lot of injured people, so we don’t have enough people.”
“What do you mean? “There aren’t enough people.”
“So, during the battle…”
“No, that’s not what I meant!”
“yes?”
Cheongmyeong stared at the bandits with meaningful eyes.
The bandit who caught his gaze tilted his head with a puzzled expression.
“Perhaps us?”
“Then who else is there?”
“…We are bandits?”
“Bandits have no hands? “It looks like you can’t even hold an oar, right?”
“Oh, of course we have hands, so we can row.”
“huh?”
Cheongmyeong blinked at the cheerful answer. Why are these bandits so cooperative?…
“Unless it’s like that.”
“Uwessssssss!”
“Kuweeeek!”
“Ouch… my stomach… even my stomach is coming out…”
“Please help me…”
“…”
All of the bandits were holding on to the railing and spitting out what was inside.
“Oh, no, those unmanned people…”
“…seasickness is different from that.”
“Tsk tsk tsk. If you’re weak and fall out! “Where has the Green Forest King gone?”
“It’s over there, right?”
“where?”
“excuse me. Among the kids throwing up.”
“….”
Indeed, among the lumpy lanterns holding on to the railing, there was one lantern that looked relatively small.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Cough! Cough! Ouch… lung disease again…. Cough! Cough! Uweeeeeek!”
Cheongmyeong, feeling relaxed, turned his head away.
“This guy and that guy…”
There is not a single sane person.
“lol. We are mountain climbers to begin with, so we never get on a boat. And no matter how many people are on the boat, if it shakes this much, there will be no answer.”
“Aren’t you just weak?”
“Hey, look over there.”
“what?”
“On the other side.”
Cheongmyeong’s gaze returned to the other side of the railing where Lim So-byeong and the bandits were clinging to.
“Uwesssssss!”
“Pretty sweet!”
“The Lord is dying! “If you keep doing this, you’ll die!”
Hwasan’s disciples were each holding on to the railing and crying their hearts out. Cheongmyeong covered his face with both hands.
no. Let’s say they are like that.
Why is that bald head throwing up again? Make your stomach explode!
“Uweeeeeek!”
At that time, Jo Geol, who was shaking so hard that he was almost spitting out his intestines, hit his head on the railing and muttered as if he had lost his mind.
“Uh… the head. “I’m dizzy… I’ll be executed… If I keep doing this, I’ll die before I even fight.”
“I don’t think it was this bad before.”
“Tell him to slow down, speed!”
“Soso. Do you have any motion sickness medication?”
“…are you sure?”
“Okay.”
Don’t you have to ride a boat to get used to it?
Unfortunately, the people gathered here were from Sacheon, where there was no river even if you looked for it, and from Shaanxi, where the only things there were mountains.
Since it is unmanned, you can overcome a little bit of seasickness, but there is nothing you can do on a boat that shakes so violently that even sailors find it difficult.
“island! “Where on earth is that damn island?”
“Please… please let me fight.”
“I feel like I can do anything as long as I can put my feet on the ground! please!”
By nature, people know something is precious only when it is lost. Hwasan’s disciples were endlessly missing the existence of the land, which they had taken for granted.
“Ouch…”
At that time, Lim So-byeong, who had gone from pure white to pale blue, walked awkwardly towards Cheongmyeong.
“You…”
“Yes?”
Jo Seung, who was holding his breath for fear of a spark, was startled by Lim So-byeong’s gesture and jumped up from his seat. Lim So-byeong asked in a dying voice.
“Island… Where is the island? “Is it far?”
“The exact location is… I’m not sure either…”
“I don’t know?”
“Oh no. “I know, but…”
Lim So-byeong’s eyes became bloodshot at the lukewarm answer.
“Should I take off the skin and sprinkle salt on it? “How good are you at dancing?”
“Please save me!”
Jo Seung, who remembered once again that this person was the Green Forest King, became thoughtful and shook his head.
“No, it should be visible when it gets here… It’s over there! hey! Ugh! “I can see it over there!”
“Okay. where?”
“hey!”
Jo Seung, who found a hole to live in, urgently pointed ahead.
Sure enough, I saw something small floating in the middle of the river beyond.
“…But that’s an island?”
“It looks small now because it’s so far away, but it’s definitely not small. “It’s actually bigger than where our sink was.”
“what?”
“It’s actually bigger….”
“No, before that. what? “It’s too far?”
“….”
“Woo! “Wooow!”
“ah! Don’t throw up here! nastily!”
Cheongmyeong hurriedly grabbed Lim So-byeong by the back of his neck and threw him toward the railing. Then he shook his hands and looked at the island in the distance.
“Hmm.”
It was hard to see the inside because the reeds were so thick, but it certainly seemed like it would have been big enough to fit a watercolor.
“that’s interesting. “It’s an island in the middle of the river.”
Cheongmyeong mumbled and touched his chin, but suddenly stopped.
“hmm?”
A smile slowly formed on his lips.
“Hey water ghost.”
“…yep!”
“It looks like you’re coming to meet us from over there?”
“yes?”
Jo Seung lifted his head and looked toward the island.
“What?”
just as expected.
Small dot-like things appeared around the island in the distance. If it’s a dot floating on the water, it’s not that hard to guess what it might be.
As the dots got closer, they began to clearly take on the shape of a ship.
“That’s an enemy ship! Ready for battle!”
“That battle?”
“In this situation?”
The bandits’ eyes widened.
The thing that upsets my stomach is… Yes, even if it’s a bit ugly, you can fight while throwing up. But what about headaches and dizziness? It’s hard to even stand properly.
“Okay. “I’m dying.”
Only then did the bandits realize how advantageous the previous battle had been. Fighting with enemy enemies on land is no different from fighting with a shark that has been pulled ashore.
There is no need to go all the way to the tiger. Even if you are a cat, you will be able to eat a struggling shark with ease.
However, if the location is a river, the situation is reversed. Even if it is a tiger and not a cat, it is just a meal for a shark in the water.
‘This is why you can’t mess with the water trap.’
“Okay. I don’t understand. “It looks like a fortress made in heaven.”
Before I knew it, Lim So-byeong came back and spoke with a pale face.
“Why were the water plants neglecting a place like that?”
“That’s no place for a sink.”
“why?”
“First of all, it’s too noticeable, isn’t it?”
“…That’s right.”
“Furthermore, the water around there is wild because of the island. The flow speed is twice as fast, and the water channels are mixed, creating a vortex in an instant. No matter how skillful a helmsman is, a boat will capsize at a near miss. But how can you create watercolors in a place like that?”
“They did it, right?”
“…I know that too…”
Jo Seung scratched his head with a grim expression on his face.
“Anyway, it’s because they’re bastards, right?”
A double wick lit up in Cheongmyeong’s eyes.
“Let’s make it all fish food first and think about it! Everyone gave battle….”
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
“uh?”
But at that moment, with the sound of lightning, the boat next to them was destroyed.
“Hwahwapo?”
Cheongmyeong opened his eyes wide and glanced around at the ships approaching from the other side. I could clearly see the black and white smoke mixing and spreading out.
“You’re using artillery? Are those guys crazy?”
Gunpowder is a weapon prohibited by the government. In other words, from the moment you use gunpowder, you will be tracked by the coffin. Salt and gunpowder are the most gnashing items in the coffin, so shouldn’t they be touched carelessly?
So, the enemy also mixed a small amount of gunpowder with an engine device and fired it with a harpoon, but no matter how you look at it, it was a real artillery piece.
“That… looks like a white thunder gun?”
Cheongmyeong turned his head at Lim So-byeong’s words.
“White thunder cannon? what is that?”
“Uh… this is a cannon made at a place called Byeokryeokmun, which was in full swing in the past.”
“…If it’s a wall, is it a sect?”
“yes. “It was a sect that mainly used gunpowder.”
“Are they crazy? “There are kids like that, but you just watch?”
“Would you have been watching? So it was ruined.”
“….”
“But the artillery and bombs they manufactured are still secretly traded. It looks like those evil bastards got it…”
Quaaaaaaaaa!
The head of another ship was completely blown away.
“Aaaah! I’m falling in!”
“Ugh! Ugh! help me! “I can’t swim!”
“Be careful in the water! Outnumbered bastards may come after you! Grab the plank and climb up! Otherwise, get on the boat next to you, you bastards!”
In an instant, the chaos unfolded.
“Now harpoon! “We have a harpoon too, right?”
“…no way. “It doesn’t even reach that far.”
Jo Seung, who was waving his hands, blinked.
“uh? Are they slowing down?”
“huh?”
“It looks like they are planning to keep their distance and destroy each thing one by one.”
“no! These bastards are cowardly! “If it’s unmanned, you have to stick with it fairly!”
“…We are outnumbered.”
It was fair and square, only shown when necessary, but even that was meaningless in the face of the enemy.
Kwaaaaaaaaaa!
“Aaaahhh!”
The moment another ship was destroyed, Cheongmyeong rolled his eyes.
“But these bastards say let’s meet?!”
“oh?”
Lim So-byeong looked back at Cheongmyeong with slightly moved eyes.
Hwasan’s disciples were only on this ship. The story goes that only bandits are on those broken ships. But seeing him so angry doesn’t mean that Cheongmyeong still considers the Green Forest Islanders as true colleagues?
“We’re okay….”
“How big are those boats? These bastards!”
“….”
Ah… you already added it to your property list.
You are great. As a thief, I’m embarrassed.
“OK! “You’re shooting artillery, right?”
At that moment, Cheongmyeong jumped up onto the railing.
and!
“I’ll show you that your stomach has a head too! Eurachaaaaa!”
Kwaaaaang!
It kicked the railing, shattered it, and started flying like a fired cannonball.
