Chapter: 1073

That was how the cold worked.

Uh!

The new shift of five hundred men arrived at the exit side of the cave.

Seol Yi-jong was the one who brought them, but despite having their breakfast, they all looked utterly exhausted.

“Elder, we are here to change.”

That was when Oh Mubang responded to Seol Yi-jong with a serious expression.

“I don’t think that this will last any longer.”

“... I felt the vibration while coming here. The vibrations are strong enough that they can be felt from the palace too.”

“Kuak! It would be better for us to fight the bloody Dragon Turtle with all our forces in the palace than keeping this one locked up and exhausting ourselves.”

At the complaint of elder Oh Mubang, elder Seol Yi-jong nodded.

It was very evident that their warriors were exhausted.

Everyone was scared, but some people thought that fighting and dying was better than this.

“Be patient. Once the Yulin contingents come, even those who don’t want to fight will have to go and fight that monster to the death.”

“Ha! That bastard! He!”

“Elder! The men are listening, so...”

“Did I say anything wrong? There is no guarantee when those strangers will arrive, and we are being forced to sacrifice ourselves here... huh?”

Ttatata!

While the elder Oh Mubang complained in anger, someone rushed to the exit side of the cave and shouted so that all the people inside could listen.

“Y-Yulin contingents have arrived!!!”

At that cry, both the elder’s eyes widened as they looked at each other.

Right when they were all getting frustrated with the work, the Yulin contingents finally arrived.

Oh Mubang got up from the ground and asked.

“Where are they all now?”

“They are in...”

The pier in the southeast of the island.

The scale of Baikal Lake was so vast that it could be called a river or sea. Naming it a lake was a ridiculous decision.

There were two ways to enter the island.

Crossing by boat from the southeast or crossing by taking the ferry for a short distance from the northwest, it was better to cross by boat, as the latter took up too much time.

At the dockside, many palace officials from the North Sea Ice Palace gathered.

After hearing the news that Yulin’s contingents were crossing the lake, they rushed to greet them.
