#Chapter 100: The Suicide Squad (2)
“As expected, you didn’t turn your back on Jianchang’s crisis!”
Upon joining the defense force (read: suicide squad), the Moksryong faction warriors, including the Moksryong faction leader and Wei Jifeng, rejoiced greatly.
Though I myself was feeling like death warmed over, having been thrust into an unexpected fierce battle.
Still, since things had come to this, I had to make a show of it, right?
“Heh heh! Who am I? The Righteous Jinmujin! Having received kindness from Lord Hyun Geomjin, how could I turn my back on the Moolryongdang’s crisis? Ee-ri!”
Everyone in the Moolryongdang cheered, calling out my name.
Jinmujeon! Jinmujeon!
Watching their excitement, I recalled the day I first met Grandfather.
‘Will you follow me?’
‘Do they feed you well?’
‘Three square meals a day, without fail. Don’t worry.’
Mom was right—you should never follow someone who lures you with food.
‘I didn’t even get a meat dish…’
Just look at me—fighting for my life because I ate some greens and mixed grain rice.
Still, thinking I was repaying the kindness Grandfather showed me all these years made it feel worthwhile.
“Yee-ha!”
Loyalty!
Even the brothers of the Mungryongdang, who had starved alongside me, seemed proud.
While we were sharing our feelings at the castle gate, warriors began gathering from all directions.
Their number was over a hundred.
As ordered by the castle lord, the elite warriors from each faction had assembled.
Once everyone had arrived, the castle lord spoke.
