Episode 168. Intrusion (1)

Cheon Myeong-myeong came out of the tunnel and was walking through the mountains.

‘Is this outside the city gate?’

Although he still couldn’t tell exactly where he was, Cheon Myeong-Myeong knew that he was outside the city gates.

After wandering through the tunnel for some time, it seems like we finally made it outside as we had originally intended.

In order to know his location more precisely, Cheon Myeong-myeong was heading towards high ground.

‘… The plan fell through.’

It was good that we got out of the tunnel safely, but in the end, the operation was a failure.

Wasn’t the original plan for Cheon Myeong-myeong to sneak inside and open the gate?

The plan was for Cheon Aeng-hwa, who had been waiting outside, to lead the troops and invade the inside once the gates opened, but this was an attempt to not even open the gates.

“…….”

In the end, it could be said that the situation has returned to its starting point.

No, things weren’t better than before.

Seeing that the gate would not open, it was highly likely that Cheon Aeng-hwa would not have moved her troops recklessly.

So, it could be said that there were no troop losses, but the fact that a day had passed was the greatest loss to Cheon Myeong-myeong.

‘That woman is coming soon.’

Cheon Seol-han. The great army she leads will soon reach Gwangyu.

At the longest, it will be tomorrow… … If it’s quick, it could possibly arrive today.

That’s why Cheon Myeong-myeong tried to open the gate last night, even if it meant going to great lengths.

It was clear that the situation would become extremely complicated once Cheon Seol-han arrived, so they tried to decide the match before that by any means possible.

‘… First, I guess I should join up with Cheon Aeng-hwa.’

After that, I thought I would have to think of another operation.

Of course, in this situation, it would not be easy to come up with a way to open the gate and infiltrate the mine within today, but now, no matter what, I had to do something.

The only positive thing is that the Yeommado is now in Cheon Myeong-myeong’s hands.

Cheon Myeong-myeong also had the idea of ​​using the heat wave to break through the gate.

“A thousand princes!”

At that moment, Seo Ha-yool approached from behind, calling Cheon Myeong-myeong.

Although Cheon Myeong-myeong’s pace was relatively fast, Cheon Myeong-myeong seemed to have no intention of slowing down and just kept walking forward.

“Where are you going now?”

“…….”

“Do you happen to know the whereabouts of Seok Dae-ju and the others?”

At that moment, Cheon Myeong-myeong stopped walking.

And the head pointing straight back.

Seo Ha-yool was startled when her eyes suddenly met Cheon Myeong-myeong’s.

“What I promised Seok-hyung was to help you escape.”

“……?”

“I think we’ve kept our promise to this extent. So, let’s stop here. Now, let’s each go our own way.”

At those words, Seo Ha-yool’s eyes became blank.

After spending quite some time with Cheon Myeong-myeong, I had briefly forgotten, but wasn’t Cheon Myeong-myeong not an ally like Seok I-hyeon or Gyeon Su-hong in the first place?

Seo Ha-yool seemed to have just realized that fact, and was looking at Cheon Myeong-myeong with a speechless look.

Swish-.

Seeing that sight, Cheon Myeong-myeong turned his head back to his original state.

Just as he was about to leave, Seo Ha-yool grabbed Cheon Myeong-myeong’s clothes from behind.

“But there’s no need to say it so harshly.”

“…….”

“You said something like that to me earlier……”

If you keep wandering, you will eventually see the light. Seo Ha-yul was greatly comforted by the words that Cheon Myeong-myeong had told her.

But now, he’s acting so cruelly, unlike back then.

Sometimes he seems affectionate, but at other times he is heartless.

Seo Ha-yool couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed at Cheon Myeong-myeong’s cold-hearted appearance, as if she was now confused about what Cheon Myeong-myeong really looked like.

“I have to go back to Gwangyu.”

“…….”

“You have a place to go to get out of the mine. So this is where we end up.”

“…I don’t like that part.”

What on earth do you hate?

Even though Seo Ha-yool kindly explained to him why they had to move, Cheon Myeong-myeong had no idea why he would say something like that.

“But we have come through death together, so wouldn’t it be possible for Prince Cheon to say something as if he had some regrets before we parted ways?”

“You’re disappointed? What’s the disappointment?”

“…Okay.”

Cheon Myeong-myeong was originally this kind of person.

Seo Ha-yool seemed to realize that fact and let go of the clothes she was holding.

“You said you were going back to Gwangyu?”

“…….”

“Maybe if we go that way we can get back.”

“…How do you know that?”

“You said you searched all over Gwangyu in search of traces of Dosincheonma. Well… I never would have thought it would be hidden in a place like that.”

“Then I guess I can trust you.”

Cheon Myeong-myeong said that and tried to go in the direction Seo Ha-yul had shown him.

“You showed me the way, so promise me one thing.”

“…….”

“If you find Seok Dae-ju or anyone else there… please help them as long as it is not too much.”

I couldn’t just ask for help.

He had already received a lot of help from Cheon Myeong-myeong, and he felt it was shameful to ask for such a favor.

In his opinion, simply saying this was the most appropriate course of action.

“i get it.”

After giving a short answer, Cheon Myeong-myeong moved quickly.

Even though I was running through the rugged mountainous terrain, the figure of Cheon Myeong-myeong was already far away.

Seo Ha-yool thought that he was walking fast just a moment ago, but seeing him like that, she could tell that it was also out of consideration for her.

“…thank you.”

Seo Ha-yool muttered in a low voice as she looked at Cheon Myeong-myeong who was far away.

Cheon Myeong-myeong continued to run in the direction that Seo Ha-yul had shown him.

At that moment, as if he had heard a sound, Cheon Myeong-myeong stopped in his tracks with sharp eyes.

‘This sound is… … .’

It was definitely the sound of weapons colliding with each other.

It wasn’t just one or two, but many of them were banging their weapons together noisily.

“…….”

The sound was coming from the direction that Cheon Myeong-myeong was currently running towards.

As if he had a bad feeling about something, Cheon Myeong-myeong kicked the ground again and started running towards the direction of the sound.

chuck-.

Soon the forest ended and a wide open landscape unfolded before our eyes.

At the edge of a high cliff. Cheon Myeong-myeong was standing there now.

On the other side, a cliff of similar height was visible, and only then did Cheon Myeong-myeong realize where he was.

‘gorge…….’

The place where Cheon Myeong-myeong was standing now was a valley.

The entrance to the main gate of Gwangyu. The valley at the entrance.

Cheon Myeong-myeong’s gaze naturally turned downwards at the sound that was still loudly ringing in his ears.

“……!”

Down in the canyon, several people were now fighting.

It seemed like the fight was already well underway, and corpses were appearing everywhere.

But there was something else that surprised Cheon Myeong-myeong the most at that moment.

‘…the gate is open.’

The fortified city gates of Gwangyu, which had been strongly defended, were now wide open.

Surely the Pungwol Bridge wouldn’t have opened the gates themselves, so shouldn’t we assume that the gates were breached because they couldn’t withstand an external attack?

Could it be that Cheon Aeng-hwa had launched a siege? For a moment, such a thought crossed his mind, but Cheon Myeong-myeong was able to immediately find familiar clothing.

“…….”

Those white clothes are clearly visible even from high places.

If it was just one person, I wouldn’t know, but there were a lot of people wearing white clothes.

That means only one thing. It means that they are the warriors of the Chamseolga.

‘Have you arrived already?’

I had expected it might arrive today, but this is faster than I expected.

Even if I arrive quickly, I thought I would arrive in the evening or at night… … . Isn’t the sun still high in the sky right now?

Moreover, judging by the fact that the gates were already breached, it seemed that the siege had begun in earnest at least a few hours ago.

‘I never thought they would dare to launch a siege in broad daylight.’

Does that mean you were confident you could break through that gate?

In fact, the gates were wide open, so if we only look at the results, it could be said that Cheon Seol-han’s judgment was correct.

Looking at the corpses piled up under the castle walls, it seemed that the Cheomseolga had made considerable sacrifices as well… …. The most important thing was that they had succeeded in breaking through the castle gate.

“…….”

If it’s Cheon Aeng-hwa, she will know how the situation is going.

But now, not only did he not know where Cheon Aeng-hwa was, he also didn’t have much time.

If the war ends completely in the meantime, wouldn’t all the credit go to Cheon Seol-han?

Then, we will have no choice but to sit by and watch as Cheon Seo-jin’s secret weapon is passed on to Cheon Seol-han.

‘…moves alone.’

In the end, Cheon Myeong-myeong decided to invade Gwangyu alone.

If you take advantage of the gap between the two forces, Pungwolgyo and Cheomseolga, you might be able to steal the ball by yourself.

In the first place, I joined hands with Cheon Aeng-hwa to avoid this situation… … It seemed that the world did not always go as planned.

‘You only need to target one.’

No matter how many times you break through the gate, the biggest blow is still the enemy general’s head.

In other words, if he could just get his hands on Nanwoohyun’s neck, he could take the ball.

As soon as he made that decision, Cheon Myeong-myeong jumped down the cliff.

Pot-.

Cheon Myeong-myeong quickly descended using the gap in the cliff as a stepping stone.

Within a moment, Cheon Myeong-myeong’s two feet landed at the bottom of the valley, and he kicked off the ground and ran towards the castle gate.

‘They all went inside.’

There was fighting outside the city gates, but their numbers were clearly small.

Considering the large army of the Chieftains, does that mean the main force is inside?

Before Cheon Seol-han could take Nan Woo-hyeon’s head, Cheon Myeong-myeong tried to hurry inside.

“……?”

But then Cheon Myeong-myeong discovered something and had no choice but to stop moving.

A number of warriors can be seen beyond the open gate.

As if they had been waiting for him, a white crowd was blocking the gate.

Sreung-.

As soon as they discovered Cheon Myeong Myeong, the warriors all showed their hostility.

‘These are the guys that Cheon Seol-han had arranged in advance.’

It seems that Cheon Seol-han had similar thoughts to himself.

Contrary to her appearance, she is quite a thorough woman.

It seemed like he had deployed warriors to prepare for himself and Cheon Yong-un… … but there was one thing lacking.

Swish-.

Cheon Myeong-myeong slowly turned his right hand towards his back.

Soon, the Flame Sword slowly appeared, and Cheon Myeong-myeong took the Sword out completely and held it with both hands.

“Yeomma-do. Let’s see what kind of guy you are.”

Woof-.

At that moment, a strong noise arose from Pungmado.

Cheon Myeong-myeong felt the resonance and smiled faintly as he spoke.

“Okay, but just bear with it for now.”

At that moment, a crimson magic energy arises in Yeommado.

The moment they saw the red-hot flame sword, all of the warriors of the Sword Master’s party grew wide-eyed and their bodies froze.

Pot-.

The warriors quickly came to their senses and started moving.

Through the gate in front, a large number of warriors were rushing towards Cheon Myeong-myeong.

“It’s this guy’s turn now.”

Looking at that sight, Cheon Myeong-myeong raised his Yeomma-do diagonally.

and.

A tremendous explosion echoed through the canyon, silencing all the noise in the canyon.
