Jo Geol found himself completely speechless. This was not the familiar face of Yun Jong. He always wore a faint smile and looked like a genuinely good-natured person, but now that his face had hardened, there was even a chill in the air.
It was difficult to easily open one's mouth in front of him.
“Yun Jong.”
Instead of Jo Geol, Baek Cheon called out to Yun Jong like a sigh. He was trying to persuade him.
“That is not permissible.”
But before he could even try, Im Sobyeong’s resolute voice cut in. Im Sobyeong glared at Yun Jong with a cold face.
“Do you properly understand this situation, Taoist Yun Jong?”
“Of course.”
“No, it seems you do not understand.”
Im Sobyeong shouted sharply with a blade-like voice.
“The Heavenly Friendship Alliance moving now is exactly what the Four Tyrants Alliance wants most. Are you saying we should act according to what the enemy wishes right now?”
“…….”
“I understand your concern. But moving now is absolutely not a good move. What we must do right now is protect Hwaeum.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
“All of our military strength and the things we must protect are gathered in Hwaeum. The moment we disperse our forces, Tyrant Lord Jang Ilso will do whatever it takes to attack this place. He will try to find even the slightest gap and shatter us to pieces.”
“That’s right.”
