This was the exact moment when Yeo-po, who was interested in Su-hyeon, jumped into the battlefield in earnest.

Jojo’s party, who successfully retreated to a safe place, was hastily gathering troops to rescue Suhyeon, who remained in the rear for them.

“Exclude infantry soldiers, and recruit as many soldiers who can ride horses as possible.”

“I’ll go too, sister.”

“Are you okay? Myeongjae, you are left by the ocean…”

“Wonyang will be fine. Because we are not people who will die from just being hit by an arrow. I also told Suni about it.”

“Still…”

“I don’t know what the situation is right now, but seeing as they targeted a vital point and knocked Wonyang down with one blow, there must be an archery expert among the enemy commanders.”

What can keep an archer in check?

Only the same archer.

So take me with you.

I couldn’t just say no after saying that much.

“Then… I’ll ask you a favor.”

It was around that time that Sunuk, who had stayed in the Allied military camp to visit the feudal lords and bring them reinforcements, led a group of soldiers and joined them.

“Jukong…! You’re safe!”

” Munyak…? The soldiers next to you…?”

“I apologize. To support the Duke of Zhou, we requested troops from the feudal lords of the Allied Forces, but they all refused, so we hurriedly brought in people who worked at the Yun Family Merchant Company.”

He reflexively gritted his teeth when Sunuk said that with a sad face.

Of course… I knew.

Contrary to the perception of the people on the mainland, those who gathered under the banner of anti-Dong-tak are not heroes, but just a group of human beings gathered for their own benefit.

I knew it, but the fact that I had to experience it in this way made it even more painful.

‘What on earth is this union for?’

Thanks to this, I almost felt skeptical, but I couldn’t just hang there.

That’s because he didn’t know that Su-hyeon’s life might be in danger while he was doing this.

“For now… we’ll talk about that issue later…”

As I was about to say that I should go rescue Soo-hyeon, the hand holding the reins trembled at the sudden, ominous thought that came to me.

“Sister···.”

“It’s okay, let’s go.”

Yeah, it’ll be okay.

Wasn’t Soohyun the one who miraculously survived even in a more dangerous situation?

So what if we lead the troops and go looking for it?

He’ll probably say that while looking a little injured and embarrassed.

‘Why, why did they come rushing in like this?’

So… let’s go quickly and join.

And… I’m going to have to scold him so he won’t do that again.

Su-hyeon said that you must survive at least for the sake of the people who jumped into the battlefield, looking only at the future you will show, but if Su-hyeon does not exist in the future landscape she depicts, all of that is meaningless.

So, I led a group of troops and headed to the place where I had parted ways with Suhyeon.

“···.”

“Uh, sister…”

I couldn’t see it.

There were only corpses of our soldiers lying in horrible faces everywhere, and Su-hyeon was nowhere to be seen.

Even the appearance of the enemy.

Nothing… was visible.

I had a dream.

It was a somewhat strange dream, looking at a burning world from afar.

Thanks to this, I felt a little uncomfortable… but I decided to think positively.

In any case, the sound of wandering in a dream without being thrown back to reality means that you at least haven’t died.

The problem, of course, is whether I escaped safely from Jojo and my physical condition…

What was certain was that the probability of being safe without any injuries was extremely small.

To be honest, this was inevitable because Seoyoung, who pitched against me right before self-hypnosis, was obviously a higher-ranking expert than me.

So, he would have suffered a blow in some way…

‘I hope everyone leaves and only my arms and legs are fine.’

If even one of them fails, you will face enormous difficulties in learning new martial arts.

There was a high possibility that Dongtak County would not accept it.

Tell me what to do.

As soon as I escaped from Cao Cao, I was thinking of hiding my identity and enlisting in Dongtak’s army.

The reason, of course, was to get closer to Lu Bu.

Of course, in the case of Lü Bu, he was a high-ranking member of the Dong Zhuo camp, so it would not be easy for a single soldier to touch him… but even if he started as a soldier, there was no way he would stay in that position forever.

Dong Zhuo felt burdened by the presence of the allied forces and decided to abandon Luoyang, the capital, and retreat to Chang’an, but that did not mean the end of the war between the Dong Zhuo forces and the anti-Dong Zhuo allied forces.

‘Rather… the war between the two groups begins now.’

Until now, the Dongtak camp had no choice but to fight the war in a defensive posture because the distance from the battlefield to the main camp was so close, but since the main camp had retreated to Chang’an, there would be no need to worry about that anymore.

‘And… Dong Tak’s troops are basically troops specialized in attack, not defense.’

How frustrating it must have been to have to defend with the famous Xiliang cavalry.

So… even if I finish it, I think I’ll take a big stab at it at least once and then finish it.

What if you perform well in a battle that will be recognized as such?

Wouldn’t it be possible to escape as a mere soldier quickly?

So you have to come to your senses before it’s too late.

I don’t know when I will open my eyes… I don’t even know how much time has passed…

It must have been a moment when he was complaining alone.

Suddenly an unfamiliar smell began to flow into my nostrils.

What should I say about this… the smell of grass?

The smell of grass was the smell of grass, but it wasn’t just the smell of grass.

Rather than being fresh, it felt a bit dry, like something that would come from a place like grass dried under the scorching sun.

If you suddenly start smelling something… are you trying to come to your senses?

It must have been a moment when I was quietly preparing my mind for the possibility that this might happen.

With a feeling as if something like a fish hook was grabbing my body and pulling me up.

“Ugh…!?”

An enormous pain rushed through my body.

As I groaned without realizing it, I heard an unfamiliar voice coming from right next to me.

“Awake, you’re awake.”

“Who, who…”

“First… calm down first. Since you have suffered serious injuries, if you try to move your body carelessly, the wounds may become more severe.”

Looking at what you’re saying… is he a member of the National Assembly?

If so, it was most likely one of two cases.

One is… when Jo Jo, who was running to save me, found me belatedly, having managed to escape from Dong Tak’s army with the power of self-hypnosis.

And the other one is… when he was captured by Dongtak’s army.

To be honest, the latter was overwhelmingly more likely than the former.

Before dealing with Seoyoung, I hypnotized myself to survive at all costs, but that meant that if I had to, I had to jump into the river behind to save my life.

So it’s probably the latter… Why on earth did they capture me alive?

Are you planning to torture me to get information about the Allied Forces?

If that were the case, you could say that they wouldn’t have given me treatment in the first place, but that could only be said because I only know one thing and don’t know the other.

In the first place, proper torture involves a treatment process.

Wouldn’t it be possible to pluck and eat mulberries over and over again without killing the person being tortured?

It must have been a moment when I was thinking the same thing in my mind.

“You seem to have calmed down a bit now, so let me bring someone over.”

With those words, I felt the person sitting next to me move away.

A thought suddenly occurred to me, ‘Should I run away now…’, but unfortunately, my body did not follow suit.

How long has it been since I was neglected like that?

The sound of the door opening flowed into my ears.

“Hey! I heard you woke up?”

What followed after that was the voice of an unfamiliar woman.

“If you’re awake, why don’t you open your eyes?”

Then, without even realizing it, I slowly opened my eyes… What caught my eye was a woman with red hair, smiling brightly, with sharp teeth that reminded me of a shark.

“How about it? Is your head okay? Even though I thought I hit it a bit hard, I was worried for some reason, but seeing as I came to my senses, it seems like there was no problem!”

You said you got hit on the head hard…?

I···?

Words that hit my ears.

The moment I heard those words, a plan began to come together in my head.

“Sorry, but who are you…?”

Actually, it was for that purpose.

That’s what he said in a voice full of caution.
