<Episode 241: Listen to the Frontline. (10)
After Hwangbo Cheolwi collected the fallen people.
The frontline branch of the Murim Alliance.
And standing in the barracks of the Hwangbo family built a little far away from there.
bang
Objects were flying through the air, making loud noises.
A giant that would fill up a not-so-small barracks.
He was constantly grabbing things from around him and throwing them.
The murderous aura emanating from the giant’s body was so thick.
“That kind of food…”
The table shatters under the giant’s fist and falls to the floor.
The man, Hwangbo Cheok, clenched his teeth and thought about the unmanned person he had met just before.
“True Dragon…!”
Immediately after regaining consciousness, he was able to hear the identity of the person who attacked him.
Jinryong Gu Yangcheon, who swept the Yongbong branch and rose to fame as a new rookie.
It was a name that even Hwangbo Cheok had heard of.
How could I not know that it is a new dragon?
He is not only the person who has been looked upon as the most noteworthy figure in the Central Plains recently.
I heard that you have great talent and a bright future ahead of you.
one.
‘I guess it’s a review index.’
Even so, it’s just a review. To Hwangbo Cheok, Gen Jinryong was supposed to be that kind of person.
But… how dare a guy like that toy with me?’
thud!
The barracks shook as Hwangbo Cheok swung his fist.
The attendants around them were trembling in fear at the thick spray of murder and speculation.
Hwangbo Cheok didn’t pay any attention to this and just screamed.
The reason he was so angry was not simply because he had been defeated by someone else.
‘I thought there would be no more after that monster from Pangga.’
Hwangbo Cheok couldn’t help but shake his shoulders as he thought of the monster that was holding its breath in his world.
A being that seems to live alone in another world.
Plus, being under the gaze of a predator who seems to be looking down on everyone.
It is unbearable for Hwangbo Cheok, who is about to become the owner of a prestigious family.
So even more so.
One guy like that would have been enough.

‘Crap.’
Hwangbo Cheok clenches his fist as he recalls the young man’s nickname.
‘This Hwangbo Cheok… .’
I lost to a mere second-rate index.
‘This can’t be happening.’
As well as the practical experience I had in the Central Plains.
The energy you carry in your body and the skill with which you use it.
There was no way that a mere index like that could be compared to oneself.
No, it shouldn’t have been there.
‘I am the one who will lead the Dae Hwangbo family in the future.’ Woodduck.
I had to lead a noble family and live a life of great fame and honor. I couldn’t afford to leave a stain like this.
‘•••What if I kill everyone I’ve seen?’
Regarding those who think of themselves as completely their own people.
If we deal with those who don’t, won’t there be no complaints?
Hwangbo Cheok nodded.
It’s because I made up my mind to do it that way.
a: =
A place to eat.
For a moment, I felt a sharp pain in my arm.
It was the arm that was broken by that guy earlier.
The arm that was hit by the bastard not only showed no aftereffects, but
He said that with just a little bit of rest, everything would return to normal.
I was lucky.
It is not common for there to be this many aftereffects.
At first I thought he had made this for this purpose.
‘That can’t be true.’
That kind of thing is something that only those skilled in tormenting people through torture or, if not, countless killings can do.
No matter how good that guy is.
This was not the realm of talent.
So it must just be a coincidence.
There was no other way to explain it.
Crunch!
Even the last table remaining in the barracks was broken by Hwangbo Cheok’s angry hands.
In the sweltering heat, Hwangbo Cheok whispered.
“What should I do?”

I glanced behind me.
There was another giant standing there, similar in size to Hwangbo Cheok.
“Ouch.”
It was Hwangbo Cheolwi, the second son of Hwangbo Gaju.
•••older brother.
“This Hwangbo Cheok has been through a lot. What should we do about it?”
cue,,
Hwangbo Cheolwi did not say anything to Hwangbo Cheok’s words.
He just looked at Hwangbo Cheok with an unreadable expression.
At this, Hwangbo Cheok bursts into laughter.
The emotions soaked into that smile were so palpable that Hwang Bo-cheol felt a sense of suffocation rising in his chest.
“What should I do? If my father hears about this, he will be very happy.”
“Brother… . You were just taken by surprise…”
“Surprise? Did that look like a surprise to you?” “ ”
“It would be better to call it witchcraft. That would be much better.”
No matter how much you try to disparage and ignore it.
Hwangbo Cheokdo could tell that it was an unmanned space station that had crossed the wall.
How could I not know when I have even experienced it myself?
It wasn’t a surprise attack.
The perspective was different.
The body was used differently.
It was a gap in the speed of judgment.
What I’m saying is that it was a difference in so-called levels.
“That’s why I’m even angrier.”
Because it collapsed entirely due to the difference in strength.
The Hwangbo clan is a bloodline that worships the power of the unmanned and dreams of greater power.
He was even more upset by the fact that he lost to a younger and smaller warrior than himself.
Moreover, the fact that others saw this fact is also significant.
This was the reason why Hwangbo Cheok couldn’t contain his anger.
“What should I do about this, brother?”
“•••First, send a message from the Guga side… .”
“under:
Hwangbo Cheok let out a hollow laugh at Hwangbo Cheolwi’s words.
“Since when did my little brother become so rational?”
“•••older brother?”

“A letter… Not bad. If you look at it all, it’ll be more beneficial for us.”
The violence against the collateral lineage clearly happened within Hwangbo Se-ga’s household.
It was not something that Jinryong, a stranger, could interfere with.
What’s more, he destroyed not only his blood relatives but also his own soldiers.
If we look at the justification, Hwangbo Se’s side will be able to gain the upper hand.
Also, you may be able to get a lot of rewards and benefits.
one.
“Then what will happen to my pride?”
“that…!”
At the words that Hwangbo Cheok spoke firmly.
Hwang Bo-cheol, who was about to say for a moment that it was so important, could not bring himself to open his mouth.
To say that it doesn’t matter.
This is because Hwangbo Cheolwi himself knew very well that self-esteem was more important than anything else to a person without a leader.
Even if it means floundering in a sloppy swamp.
Looking at Hwangbo Cheolwi, who was unable to speak, Hwangbo Cheok raised the corners of his mouth.
“Don’t worry. The consequences you’re thinking of won’t happen.”
Did he take Hwang Bo-cheol’s silence as concern for himself?
Hwangbo Cheok laughed heartily.
But inside, I was thinking about what would happen in the future.
‘It looked like it had gone over the wall.’
I feel overwhelmed.
When he saw that his escort, who had passed the climax, had been slain, Jinryong was an unmanned being who had climbed over the wall.
So, what you’re saying is that even if we deploy the personnel we have now, there’s nothing we can do.
‘I couldn’t kill that guy in the first place.’
It would be okay if it was a family whose name I had never even heard of.
The other party was also a place that was clearly called a famous place.
It may not be as good as the Dae Hwangbo Se, though.
The point is that there is no good in rashly touching one’s blood relatives.
‘That’s why he’s even stranger.’
Even though it was late, he must have known that Hwangbo Cheok was a direct descendant of the Hwangbo Se family.
No matter how much power you have, is it possible to do something like this without hesitation?
‘Unless you’re really crazy… .’
When he recalled the eyes they had met at that time, Hwangbo Cheok’s shoulders trembled slightly.
It did seem like he was a crazy guy.
‘•••The good thing is that it’s a front line.’
Advertisements
The monsters are swarming.
A place where dangerous things happen every day.
Being on that front was the most important part.
‘No matter what happens.’
That’s not strange.
Hwangbo Cheok, who had been caressing Ji’s lingering shoulder, calls out to Hwangbo Cheolwi.
“Ouch.”
“•••Yes, brother.”
“Do you know where Elder Yuk is now?”
In response to Hwangbo Cheok’s question.
Hwangbo Cheol-wi swallows his saliva.
It was because I thought I had a vague idea what my brother was thinking.
Being on duty at the front isn’t really that special.
In preparation for the opening of the magic gate in the dead of night.
It was a matter of waiting in an area that was particularly frequent and waiting in case something unexpected happened.
Well, I also do patrols around the area.
We do it together during the day as well as at night.
After all, it was more dangerous and difficult to do it at night.
“•••That’s why I said I didn’t want to do it at night.”
He muttered in annoyance as he looked at the moon rising in the sky.
!
!
..
I don’t know about the other three.
The Kuga clan did not receive many special privileges on the front lines because they were blood relatives.
At best, I can only do so by not keeping watch.
If you weren’t going to do that, you had to do it this way.
In the end, that was it.
‘•••This house is really like a rice cake.’
Even the great master, Gu Hee-bi, is doing even more than this and even training.
There was nothing I could do.
If you’re going to be picky, then you have to be picky.
He sighed deeply but didn’t stop tossing and turning.
Maybe I moved a bit too much because I was so emotional.
The woman below, with her eyes closed, lets out a sound.

“Ugh… .
Are you sleeping?
I watched it quietly and then pinched my nose with my hand.
Could it be because I suddenly felt out of breath?
The woman makes a strange noise, opens her eyes slightly, and then immediately stands up, resting her head on my lap with a half-asleep expression.
Looking at that, I spat out the words with a hollow laugh.
“You did great. Very good.”
Have you ever thought of straightening your messy hair?
He still had a dazed expression on his face.
He slowly leans his head against my shoulder.
” hey.”
“Ugh… .
“I told you not to come if it was going to be like this. If you’re going to come and sleep, why are you coming?”
Namgungbia pretended not to hear what I said and started to doze off, leaning on my shoulder.
In the first place, I went deep into the city with Gu Hee-bi.
It was strange that he had to chase me all night and do this.
“If you’re going to come and sleep, just go and sleep. Why are you suffering here?”
“•••Ugh… .
“Now they don’t even pretend to be.”
Because it’s ridiculous.
As I was looking at Namgungbi like that, I gently straightened her messy hair with my hand.
In the gap, the decoration I bought and gave as a gift catches the eye.
“I’m still using this cheap thing.”
It looks a little worn. Should I buy a new one?
I reached out to take a look.
widely!
Namgungbi, who I thought was sleeping, grabs my hand.
“No. It’s mine.”
“•••Granny, I know.”
“I won’t give it to you… .”
“Even if you give it to me, I won’t accept it. What would I do with it if I received it?”
After seeing that, I just left it to do as it pleased.
I turned my head to the other person who was quietly looking at the sky next to me.
Because this guy was also a problem.
“Why are you here?”
Advertisements
“yes…?”
The one who flinched at my question was none other than Bi Yeon-seom.
“Why are you here?”
“Ah, that… The deputy commander told me to go up with the old association this time.”
My expression crumpled as I heard Biyeonseom’s excuse-like words.
“That guy sends me everything he does.”
The commander tended to send new recruits to me.
There are a lotus leaf trees around, so why do they always stick with me whenever something like this happens?
What did they say?
Didn’t you say that if you struggle a lot from the start, it’ll be easier to endure?
This sounds like something I should say…?
“ha….”
As I was sighing deeply, Biyeonseom hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth to speak to me.
“That… . Old Society.”
“why.”
“Thank you so much for what happened earlier.”
At Biyeonseom’s words, I nodded and looked at the guy.
Biyeon Island probably also knows that it may be an unreasonable request.
Since he was affiliated with the Murim Alliance, it was not easy to deal with his request not to go.
There must be something entangled in it as well.
‘They may have already declared him dead. They may prefer that we accept him like this.’
Of course, if you argue about this and that, you will also be at a loss.
“•••I really joined the Murim Alliance because I thought it was a legitimate faction… but I thought it was.”
“You don’t have to tell me that. I’m not really curious.”
“Ah… . Yep.”
Expectations were as high as the name of the Murim Alliance.
In reality, that wasn’t the case.
I didn’t really want to hear such a common story.
I’m not really curious about other people’s life stories.
In the meantime, Bi Yeon-seom was glancing at Namgung Bi-ah, who was sleeping on my shoulder.
Even though I tell myself not to look, my eyes instinctively seem to be drawn to it.
“•••Stop looking at me, my face will be pierced.”
“Turn it off. I’m sorry… .”
“Look straight ahead.”
“yep…!”

Of course, as a man, you can’t help but look at Namgung Bi’s face.
I understand, but I don’t feel very good about it.
I once taught Namgungbia how to hide her presence.
Namgung Bi Ah also usually uses her energy to control herself well.
It seemed like it just didn’t work when I was sleeping next to him like this.
After giving a warning to the raindrops, fortunately they straighten up and look straight ahead.
Unlike the previous ones, it felt like there was a lot of military discipline involved.
That guy would come loose easily, so I had to tighten it up often.
Would a little better be better?
I don’t know.
Is it because I don’t pay much attention?
“…flaw”
뀹 –
After thinking for a while, he took out a few letters from his bosom and opened them.
I thought you were coming today, and you really did come.
If it’s fortunate, then it’s fortunate for me.
Sarak-
I carefully looked through the letters one by one.
One of them was, of course, a letter sent by Tang Xiaoyeol from the Tang family.
In a handwritten note with sincerity.
I hope you are doing well.
Are you eating well?
It was full of questions about trivial things like whether I had lost or gained weight.
It’s not a bad feeling to feel the subtle emotions contained in a few lines.
“hmm…?”
That he should have gone there with her, etc.
My questions continued to ask how Namgungbia, who was with me, was doing, and especially whether Mo Yong-hee had done anything special.
Suddenly, I paused for a moment at the last sentence.
-Still, I’m glad that I’ll be able to see Confucius soon.
-Your Majesty, will you be going this time too?
“Where are you going?”
I wonder if there is a Tang Byeong Jeonhoe held at Sacheon Dangmun around this time.
That didn’t seem to be the case.
I was wondering if I was forgetting something.
“…ah?”
Advertisements
I handed over the letter I was holding, thinking, “Oh no.”
After what Tang Xiaoyeol sent, there were things written by Haowen and Gaebong.
At the moment, something else was more important than that information.
“Not yet… right?”
Because something came to mind when I heard Dang So-yeol’s words.
Finally, we reached the end of the letter.
I found a letter that said “Gu (菶)” and opened it up.
It was just a few lines of text.
I couldn’t help but pause after reading the last sentence.
The simple and plain handwriting was clearly my father’s.
This time too, it was written simply with the purpose in mind.
– The prince of the main house will return from the front line in the near future. There will be no further extension.
– In addition, upon returning, you will be admitted to the Shinryongwan immediately.
“•••this”
As time passed, the time came.
Never, a time I never wished for.
