Chapter 487 – 487

The general who had delivered the urgent news went out of the camp to deliver the orders of General Park Yu-min.

A little while later, perhaps because the order he gave had spread to the crowd, a general different from the general who had delivered the urgent news came into the general’s tent.

The general had a goatee, unlike General Park Yu-min, who had a stylish beard.

“Hey, General Park. “Will this plan really succeed?”

“Please address me not as general, but as commander-in-chief, which is a title, or general, which is a rank. This is already the third time. “If you make the same mistake again next time, I will follow the strict military orders and cut off your head.”

“… “Isn’t that what’s important now?”

“I won’t tell you twice.”

“… Heh, I understand. Commander-in-chief, I will be better.”

The goat-bearded general frowned at the commander-in-chief.

It seemed like he did not respect the authority of the commander-in-chief.

That’s because the general with the goatee was a member of the Joseon Dynasty’s royal family.

Even though he was a member of the royal family, it was clear that he did not like the general who always wanted honorifics.

“But Commander-in-Chief Nauri, rather than killing the enemy emperor, you should capture him alive and negotiate a surrender. If you kill the emperor, the empire may turn to anger.”

“The enemy emperor is not someone who can be easily captured alive. He is the one who fights the Ikkitousen alone, so it is difficult to capture him alive. He can be hard to kill too. So when the opportunity comes, he must be killed. If you are too greedy to capture him alive, you will miss him without even being able to kill him.”

“… Huh, is he really the son of God? “Isn’t Ikkitousen a made-up legend?”

“No.”

“Truly, I understand. Commander-in-chief, I will be better.”

The name of the man called the general and commander-in-chief is Park Yu-min.

He was a descendant of a general who had defected from the Holy Daehan Empire to Joseon, which occupied the western part of the central plains, during his grandfather’s time.

‘Personally, I really did not want to go to war with the Holy Great Han Empire.’

Park Yu-min slowly closed his eyes and stroked his handsome beard.
It was a habit he always had when he was deep in thought.

‘Just because it is a country ruled by God’s blood relatives or an ancestral country doesn’t mean it doesn’t want to go to war. That’s just because the chance of winning is less than 1%.’

Park Yu-min was well aware of the gap between Joseon and the Holy Korean Empire.

‘The gap between the countries is so severe. There is no easy way to win the war. … Is this truly the power of an empire ruled by the sons and daughters of God?’

The gap between countries was too severe.

This was not limited to just military power.

Production power, administrative power, diplomatic power, intelligence power, economic power, technological power, cultural power… Etc.

In all fields, ‘Joseon’ fell short of the Holy Korean Empire.

In some areas, the differences were so severe that comparing them would be disrespectful to the Holy Korean Empire.

‘Why did my grandfather say such things and go into exile in Joseon…? .’

It is said that Park Yu-min’s grandfather went into exile in Joseon after suffering hardships due to saying things he should not have done while he was in the Holy Korean Empire.

-“There may be someone better than the commander-in-chief. How is it that in this country, the old women hold on to power and never let go? It’s not that I necessarily want to be commander-in-chief. “How long must the commander-in-chief carry out his duties as commander-in-chief?”-

-“You’re saying you’re going to be in big trouble. Then you can be taken to a dark place and beaten to death. And the sons and daughters of God rule our country well and a peaceful era continues, so why are we so dissatisfied?”-

-“No, did I say something bad? Honestly, I’m saying this because I’ve been eating it for too long.”-

Roughly speaking, Park Yu-min’s grandfather argued that there might be someone more talented than the commander-in-chief of the empire.

They expressed their dissatisfaction by asking how long they would have to watch the daughters of God, called the Grandmothers of Kings, hold major national powers, including military power, command the army, and control the country.

Even in public bars called ‘pubs’ in the Empire.

It is said that he said this not once or twice, but several times every time he visited the bar.

‘I’m so glad I didn’t die. The Empire’s counterintelligence department still considered us to be of the same blood.’

As a result, Park Yu-min’s grandfather was taken to the basement of a building on land owned by the counterintelligence department run by the intelligence officer.

It is said that while eating corong soup in a dark basement, he was interrogated whether there was someone behind it…

Park Yu-min heard that from her grandfather.

‘When I was young, I didn’t know what Korungtang meant…, His grandfather just spoke as if he was angry and ashamed, lowered his head and trembled, and did not tell him properly. But now I know that it is an act of torture, feeding food called seolleongtang through the nose.’

Korreongtang was an act of torture.

It was a time-honored imperial torture practice of pouring hot food called seolleongtang down the nose.

I heard from other people who defected to Joseon that if they were punished, they would get angry and say they did something they shouldn’t have done.

‘It is said that the person who first thought of the torture technique called Korungtang was the imperial intelligence officer… ‘Your hands are uncharacteristically spicy and strong.’

A woman who hides in the darkness and darkness of the empire and is in charge of and coordinates intelligence and counterintelligence for the entire empire.

Her god’s sons and her daughters call her ‘her fourth’

She was a truly poisonous and scary woman.

‘Well, that means she has been in charge of the empire’s intelligence and counterintelligence for over hundreds of years and has been called the witch in the shadows. In any case, her grandfather, who had been scolded by her, said that she simply could not remain in the empire.’

Park Yu-min’s grandfather, who had been beaten to death, was released from the basement of the Bangcheop building, but he could not overcome his resentment and returned to his father and grandfather’s country…, She escaped by abandoning her homeland, the Holy Korean Empire.

Then, he entered Joseon as a penniless, single-blooded exile and succeeded in becoming a self-made man with outstanding genetic talent, as befits descendants of God’s blood relatives.

Park Yu-min’s grandfather said that his success in Joseon was not that difficult.

The bloodline of God spread by the Son of God was itself a fraud.

The genes themselves were exceptional.

Beautiful and handsome appearance, strong body, brilliant intelligence, sparkling talents, and above all, a long lifespan, living on average 100 years longer than other races.

It is said that it was even stranger if one did not succeed in Joseon with these abilities.

‘Lifespan and youth alone are enormous.’

Even if we only look at lifespans that seem insignificant, the entire village held a noisy 60th birthday party, saying that ordinary Koreans had lived a long life even if they lived only to 60 years old. If they died at the age of 80, everyone would celebrate, saying that they had lived a very long life because they could not fully enjoy the life of heaven.

If you are over 100 years old, you will be promoted to a government position, so what more can I say?

‘But our blood relatives are different.’

If a god’s blood relatives die at the age of 80 or 100, they mourn that his life was short-lived.

It was a case that warranted an investigation into why he died so early at such a young age.

‘The time of youth is also different.’

There was a large relative difference not only in lifespan but also in the time of youth.

For most people, their youth tends to fade after their 20s, but God’s blood relatives looked like they were in their 20s even at the age of 60.

After becoming an adult at the age of 20, aging stopped at the peak of the body and maintaining the appearance and health of a 20-year-old until the age of 60 was an incredible power and could be called a power.

‘Because of these characteristics, I was a little ostracized at first. … No, is it still the same now? It’s just because I didn’t show it.’

Difference between lifespan and youth.

Because of this, it was difficult to assimilate with ordinary Koreans.

Even if people of the same age fall in love and have a relationship, one person becomes a grandmother at the age of 60, but the other person still has the youthful appearance and body of someone in their 20s.

There was a clear difference between long-lived species and short-lived species in how they lived together.

‘It’s a pity.’

Therefore, even though Shin’s blood relatives living in Joseon could not honestly express it to the Korean people, there was an implicit perception that they shared among themselves, which was that dating or marriage with a race other than Shin’s blood relatives was treated as mere entertainment.

‘As a long-lived species, this is something that cannot be helped. Interacting with short-lived species is just something you pass through in life. Dating and marrying them is just like playing with amusement or toys. I am a little like that too.’

Thanks to their outstanding appearance, intelligence, ability, and longevity, Shin’s blood relatives had a strong sense of being a chosen people and that they were different from ordinary people even while living in Joseon.

‘But these feelings eventually show up little by little.’

The Korean people were sarcastic or disliked the people who ran away and went into exile because of this, saying they had a sense of being a chosen people.

It was acknowledged that he was beautiful in appearance, had outstanding abilities, and had a long lifespan, but that did not make him awe-inspiring and meant that he was unsightly.

‘But our blood relatives did not bother to change or correct this perception. This is because the difference between lifespan and youth is not a discriminatory point of view, but a huge difference in life itself.’

Short-lived species say it is discrimination, but long-lived species, which live twice as long as short-lived species, think that there is a clear difference between short-lived species and long-lived species, just as there are physical differences between men and women, and that it is natural to acknowledge that difference.

‘But common single-growing species do not recognize this difference. It can’t be helped. And this difference in thinking prevented our clan and Koreans from mixing. In the end, it has become a culture that ignores each other.’
