The unique chill that can only be felt from large stones,

I slowly opened my mouth as I felt it seeping into my skin.

“I thought about it once.”

“···?”

As soon as I did that, I received a look from Ha Hoo-yeon, who was sitting nearby, as if asking me what I was doing, but I ignored it.

The person I wanted to talk to was Jo-in next to him, not Ha Hoo-yeon.

“If I were a general leading the Yellow Turbans in the castle, I wonder how I would feel right now.”

Anyone can see that this is an unfavorable situation, but the number of subordinates he leads seems to be twice as large as the enemy.

What on earth does it feel like to have to keep shouting ‘Die’ even though you have something in your hand that is literally the equivalent of a 38-pointer?

Join gave me the answer to my question.

“Of course, wouldn’t that make you angry? If you attack now, you can easily defeat the enemy, but you have to hesitate because of the strategy.”

“Of course, right?”

As I grinned and responded to Jo In’s words, Ha Hooyeon, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between me and Jo In, stepped in between us for the first time.

“···So? Is that all you want to say?”

Did you open your mouth in this situation just to say that?

He responded with a grin to Ha Hoo-yeon’s voice that seemed to say exactly that. I don’t know if it was visible because the surroundings were so dark.

“So what I mean is…the door is meant to be open.”

He glanced at the south gate of the castle, where there had been no news even though a long time had passed since the pillar of fire erupted from our military camp, and added:

“Definitely.”

Did anyone even recognize my admirable heart?

Grrrn still!

The long-awaited sound came through the castle wall that served as our hiding place.

“Muni…!”

“Shhh.”

The sound of something with great weight being dragged across the floor,

At that sound, the eyes of those who were assigned to play the role of the infiltration unit, which could be said to be the most important role in this operation, were suddenly struck.

Eyes that shine brightly even in the darkness where it is difficult to see what is ahead,

Among them were Jo In’s sky blue eyes and Ha Hoo Yeon’s amber eyes.

It must have been a moment when I was looking at them one by one and waiting for the right ‘time’ to arrive.

“Hiyatㅡ! Everyone hit! I am repaying the rotten government officials for their anger!”

“Oooot-!!!”

The time has finally arrived.

Before we knew it, hundreds of horsemen had escaped from the wide-open castle gate and were running towards the friendly camp.

I don’t know if it was because of the pillar of fire that was still waving its bright red tongue in the air, but I got up from my seat, taking in the sight of their backs, which looked like a swarm of moths rushing towards the fire.

Then he kicked the ground with all his might.

Uicheonmu studied under Join,

Among them, the study of Gyeongsinbeop began from the beginning.

I silently straightened my drawn sword, enjoying the feeling that it was not me kicking the ground, but the ground pushing my being.

It was scary to do that.

I saw the eyes of the Yellow Hoods waiting behind the gate so they could close it again at any time, turning round as if they had seen a ghost.

“FBI OPEN UP!!!!!”

“Me, the enemy—!”

The enemies couldn’t even utter a proper word of warning.

I don’t know if he was planning on just sending us out or calling in reinforcements, but instead of rushing towards us like the others, he turned around and ran away.

One of the arrows fired from Ha Hoo-yeon’s bow pierced the neck of the guy who was running away, probably because he was worried about making a final struggle.

“Okay, once everything is taken care of, let’s quickly put it away so it’s out of sight.”

Is it not a continent for nothing?

The gate of Yeongcheonseong was large and long.

It’s hard to know what’s going on inside unless you go inside and check.

In addition, perhaps because everyone had climbed up the castle wall to protect themselves, the number of soldiers standing guard near the gate was much smaller than expected, so they were able to take control of the area without difficulty.

“Now, has anyone been harmed?”

“Oh, you too… How can a person who has been harmed speak?”

“Well, it’s like that too.”

After joking around for a while with the men who had once been private soldiers of our Yun family but were now completely soldiers A, B, and C of Cao Cao’s army, he walked towards Ha Hu-yeon, who was looking around to figure out the structure of the castle gate.

“So, did you find anything?”

“···You have to go up the castle wall. There will be a chain used to open and close the lock located in the middle of the castle gate above.”

Luckily, they didn’t ignore me this time.

Is it because it’s in operation?

“Did everyone hear it? Let’s go and get it done quickly to see what’s going on outside.”

It was none other than Jo-in who took the lead.

Unlike others who are fast but still full of imperfections, Jo-in’s movements that quietly seep into the darkness reminded me of a leopard on a hunt.

This was also the case when climbing the castle wall, using the protruding parts of the wall as stepping stones instead of using the stairs honestly.

Jo In, who succeeded in climbing up the castle wall, gave his orders to the sentry who was standing guard at the stairs.

After dealing with the guard like that, I was able to see Jo-in, who was gesturing towards us below as if he could come up now, and hurried to join us.

The backs of the yellow bandits are busy watching the fire and fighting, unaware that their base is being robbed in real time.

It seemed strange that there were so few people near the castle gate, but I never thought they would actually come up here and look around.

As I was involuntarily laughing at the scene that seemed to clearly show why the Yellow Turban Rebellion had no choice but to end in failure, Ha Hoo-yeon, who followed me up the castle wall, asked me with that cold expression on her face.

So what are you going to do now?

“What can I do? We have to deal with those first.”

Even if they’re like that now, it’s obvious that the moment they notice our presence, their eyes will turn red and they’ll rush at us.

There is no reason to leave regret behind.

There was no need to even draw the sword.

Since everyone was huddled together at the edge of the wall to get a better view, just a light nudge on the back was enough to deal with it.

And I was able to see it only after I had taken care of all the people who were distracted by the sight.

The court’s army, which was in confusion due to the sudden fire and the enemy’s cavalry that rushed in without missing the opportunity, joined forces with Cao Cao’s army, which appeared at the right time, and began to push back the enemies.

Did he finally notice that something strange was going on as Cao Cao’s army thoroughly destroyed the enemy as if they were completely separate creatures, unlike the confused and helpless army of the royal court?

The enemy commander, who was slaughtering the government soldiers who were attacking him by swinging a sword that was almost as big as his body without hesitation, hurriedly turned his horse and tried to retreat to the castle, but that was all.

Because the guy who barely managed to retreat didn’t know that the wide open castle gate would close even though he was screaming loudly.

And soon after, the main force led by Cao Cao began pouring into the castle through the wide open gate, and the battle in Yeongcheonseong ended like that.

It was an enormous victory, as the supply of Yellow Turban enemies sent to Luoyang on a cart reached tens of thousands.

“Yes?! The battle is already over?”

Was it literally unexpected news?

The woman’s turquoise eyes turned round.

Her pink hair swayed back and forth accordingly.

Of course, it wasn’t just the hair that was shaking like that.

A look that every man can’t help but stare at,

Nevertheless, the expression on the soldier’s face while dealing with the woman was calm. This part could be said to show how strict the discipline of the unit he belonged to was.

“Yes, the Yellow Turbans in Yongtian Province you mentioned have already been defeated.”

“Master said the situation in Yeongcheon was urgent, so I ran non-stop from Cheongju Station to here… Hmm…”

At that moment, the soldier who was dealing with the woman could not maintain a calm expression. Because it was such an enormous distance.

Cheongju, isn’t Cheongju-ju located at the eastern end of the region?

However, I must say that it is completely understandable that the woman in front of me is so discouraged, as she has been running non-stop from that far away to here in Yeju.

So, although it was only a little, I felt sorry for the woman in front of me.

I never thought I had big breasts.

never.

“Oh, so are there any remnants…? If this happens, I will at least help clear out the remnants! huh! Please help me!”

“Ah… I really appreciate your words, but you don’t have to.”

“···?”

“Because he is gone.”

“He…?”

“Oh, you’re there at the right time.”

As the soldier raised his hand and pointed behind him, the eyes of the pink-haired woman who was squatting on the floor looking sullen in the world turned towards him.

What caught her eye at that moment was the sight of blue flags embroidered with the word “Joe” waving along the horizon.
