Chapter 15 – The Lazy Delivery (4)

“That guy, that crazy guy is for real!”

Gokbihang wanted to jump up onto the carriage right away, grab Wiyeonho by the collar, and rip him off, but the situation was such that he couldn't put his thoughts into action.

He simply glared at the carriage with angry eyes, turned to the green-clad men, and begged them.

It's time to beat that crazy guy up.

“I will stake the honor of the Kwaeryongpyo nation on making sure that such a thing never happens again. If such a rumor is heard from this moment on, wouldn’t it be too easy for the Green Forest to wipe out the Kwaeryongpyo nation? Why would we risk our lives?”

The green-clad men seemed to be slightly troubled, as if they had a point.

“Furthermore, we have maintained a good relationship with the Nokrim all this time. If this plan is overturned, the country will be ruined! Then, the Nokrim’s income will decrease as well!”

“Umm…….”

The green man nodded.

That wasn't a wrong statement.

The moment the green-clad man thought like that and was about to send the flag.

“That’s not it.”

A tongue-clicking sound was heard from above the carriage.

Gokbihang glared at the carriage with his eyes wide open.

“Hey, you’re really frustrated, sir. You shouldn’t try to persuade them like that. Those guys aren’t stupid. Once the rumor spreads, Pangga will start making a fuss about going to war with Nokrim, so what’s the point of erasing a small sign? The situation is already a hot one. It’d be much more beneficial in the long run to just eliminate the cause of the problem. Those guys aren’t stupid, so there’s no way that’ll work.”

The man in green nodded hurriedly.

“That’s right. Uh, we’re not stupid! I thought so too. It’s true.”

At that moment, Gokbihang fell into great distress.

'Since it's already come to this, why don't we just kick that little brat first?'

If this were to happen, we would all die together, but I really wanted to see that brat die first. If Gokbihang were to die first, I wouldn't be able to close my eyes even after death.

Although he felt like jumping onto the carriage right away, Gokbihang squeezed out his patience and calmed himself down.

Now was not the time to make a big deal out of it.

“I guess I can’t let you go alive.”

At that time, Peng Do-geuk quietly whispered to Gok Bi-hang.

“They don’t seem to want to spare you anyway. So, get out of here while I stop them.”

"but……."

“Don’t worry about me. I’m not that weak. You’ll have plenty of time to escape. So if I jump in….”

At that moment, a sound was heard from the carriage again.

“No, no. That won’t work!”

"shut up!"

Gokbihang shouted without realizing it.

What the hell is that son of a bitch trying to do with this?

I guess I made a mistake. Before doing anything, it would be better for many reasons to just throw the bundle of luggage in that damned thing's mouth.

“No. Sir, don’t get excited and listen to me. If you run away with this luggage, how far will you run? You’ll be caught before you even get halfway down the mountain. If you stop someone who couldn’t handle it in the first place, how much will you be able to stop them?”

“…….”

The problem was that what that damned idiot was saying sounded really plausible.

“And I can’t really trust what he says. To be honest, the reason this happened in the first place was because he snuck into the group that was going well. If he hadn’t come here, this wouldn’t have happened. If I die, it’s because of him, right?”

Phew!

Wi Yeon-ho's words became like a knife and stabbed Peng Do-geuk.

“And to tell you the truth, if you’re going to die, die alone. How ridiculous it is to drag all these people into it and now tell them to run away because you’re going to stop them. It’s like throwing them over a cliff, giving them a rope, and then pretending that they had a hard time finding the rope.”

Phew!

Another knife was stuck in Peng Do-geuk.

“I’ve seen it somewhere before, so he acts like he’s being generous, but if you look closely, he’s the worst guy here. People need to have a conscience, a conscience!”

Phew!

The body of the pendulum swayed.

“If that’s the case, then you should have just stuck your face out there and asked for help from the beginning. If you knew what you were doing, then you’re a bad person. If you didn’t know, then you’re an idiot. Either way, you’re still a idiot.”

Phew!

The pendulum slammed down on the ground.

There was nothing wrong with what Wei Yanho said.

“I, I didn’t mean to…….”

Peng Do-geuk looked around.

The eyes of those watching him seemed to have turned cold.

Peng Do-geuk gritted his teeth.

Certainly, there was nothing wrong with what he heard from the carriage. He himself was the one putting these many people in danger.

The enemy's pursuit was so persistent that Peng Do-geuk felt like biting his sword and falling to the ground at any moment, thinking that he had put so many people in danger by hoping for a stroke of luck.

“Hey, let’s untie the knot! I started this, so I’ll take care of it. I’ll stop it, so here…….”

“Oh, that one. That’s really stupid. Why can’t you understand what I’m saying, really?”

“…….”

Now, what will they say next? It was a scary Gokbihang and Pengdo-geuk. Aren’t the green-clad people on the other side also perking up their ears, wondering what will be said?

'If you're going to help me, help me only this way, you rotten bastard!'

Why are you helping both sides at the same time! Why!

“I told you that if you run away from here, you’ll be caught in no time. And what are you going to do if you run away? Everyone already knows about the Kwai Ryong Pyo-guk. Before the news reaches Pangga, Kwai Ryong Pyo-guk will be destroyed first.”

The shoulders of the pendulum have become infinitely narrow.

“There is no such thing as a water ghost, a water ghost. No, water ghosts don’t catch many people. What on earth should I call that thing?”

Tears welled up in Peng Do-geuk's eyes.

Now, Gokbihang, who had completely given up, sighed and looked up at the carriage.

“Then what should we do?”

I was annoyed, angry, disgusted, and wanted to kill him, but it was clear that Wi Yeon-ho was the most cool-headed person among the people here.

That is why Gokbihang asked Wiyeonho for his opinion.

“What should I do? What should I do? I have to fight.”

“With them?”

“If we run away, we’ll have to fight with only the flag carriers. But if we fight here, that water ghost will help us. It’s the most likely.”

“I see.”

Wi Yeon-ho had a point. If we have to fight, it would be cleaner to die here than to run away and get stabbed in the back.

And the chances of surviving, even if only slightly, will be slightly higher.

Gokbihang turned his head and looked at the green-clad people.

“Are you really not going to just let us go?”

“If I say more, my mouth will hurt.”

Wi Yeon-ho sighed after hearing those words.

“In times like this, you could have just said you’d let them go and caught the water ghost first, then gone after the flag. But instead, you’ll just live off of banditry. Ugh.”

The green-clad man's face turned bright red.

Why does that guy have a knack for making people feel bad even though he always says the right things?

The eyes of Gokbihang and Nokyiin met in the air.

For a moment, there was a visual exchange of opinions about how best to join hands and catch and kill that crazy guy.

When the conflicted Gokbihang turned away from the sense of duty that he could not hold the object with his own hands as the leader, the green man ground his teeth.

Ugh.

“You guys… even if you die, you won’t die nicely.”

Gokbihang now looked up at the carriage with a face that transcended everything.

'It would be less frustrating if I died with just one stab.'

Gokbihang realized that there would be no more negotiations.

Then all that remains is to fight.

The people who had a rough idea of the situation slowly filled the area next to Gokbi Port.

They knew that their lives were at risk, but they also understood that they had to fight to survive.

'Why don't we just scatter and run away?'

Gokbihang shook his head.

Then, some people might survive, but even if they do, there is no future.

Eventually, even the flag will be destroyed.

“Get ready.”

As soon as Gokbihang's words were out, the men of Pyo-guk began to form formation.

The pendulum swayed at the very front.

He stands in the most dangerous place because he knows that he is the strongest among them.

However, even the martial arts of the Pengdo Theater were too much to deal with the two Green-clad men.

The remaining eight must be handled by the signatories.

'Will you be my opponent?'

It was obviously impossible for Peng Do-geuk to see.

Even with just three Green Men, the demons would be swept away in an instant.

But there was no time to worry. The two Green Forest soldiers who had seen them clumsily taking up positions rushed at them without giving them a chance to come up with a plan.

“Huh!”

Peng Do-geuk grabbed the sword and blocked the flying sword.

visor!

A sharp, metallic sound echoed as swords clashed with each other.

That was the signal.

While I couldn't take my eyes off the green man in front of me, the sound of guns blazing could be heard everywhere.

Peng Do-geuk was unconsciously impressed by the enormous force pressing down on his own path.

Although he had been trained since childhood by learning good elixirs, good martial arts, and from the best teachers, it was difficult for him to deal with two green-clad men at the same time.

'They say the world is vast… … .'

Peng Do-geuk had great regrets.

If I had known that the world was so vast and dangerous, I would not have gotten involved in this. Since I always dealt with people my age, I had forgotten how scary the world of martial arts is.

It's something I've heard since I was little, and I've heard so many times that a moment of carelessness could cost you your life. So why do you say you underestimated your enemy?

From the time he was praised as a promising latecomer, an unconscious carelessness had been slowly taking root in his heart.

Like poison.

'It's too late to regret.'

Now is not the time for regrets. It is the time to take action.

You can regret it as much as you want even after you leave this place.

At that moment, the green man's sword stabbed Peng Do-geuk's neck.

“Huh!”

Peng Do-geuk rolled his body backwards to escape the sword's range, but the green-clad man's sword did not allow that.

“Keu-keu!”

The green-clad man's sword mercilessly cut down the retreating Pengdu-geuk. Pengdu-geuk's face turned black.

Two people?

Even that was arrogant. The Pengduo-geuk that Habuk Pengga had trained with such great care was not even up to the standards of two elites from the Green Forest.

My hands and feet are shaking dizzily.

“It’s over, you little punk.”

An unstoppable sword pierced his neck.

Peng Do-geuk realized his death. If it were his own death, he might have gladly accepted it. However, his death meant the death of everyone else.

'It's my fault.'

Peng Do-geuk's eyes were filled with despair.

That was the moment.

“It does all sorts of things.”

A slow, blunt, and irritated voice was heard.
