step 11

The outer expenses of the villa were quite strict, but there were many squares. In particular, the northern wall was close to the waterway, making it easy to access. After confirming the flag of King Suk hung at the gate, Ryu Hee-gyeom hid himself in the shade of a reed on the northern wall.

The sound of the chains connecting the military ships swaying in the fierce strong winds came from afar.

The Wirak Lake was one of the main points of the Grand Canal that led to Gyeongneung, the capital of Hwajin-guk. All precious items from the southern part of the country and other islands across the sea passed through the area.

In Namyeong, which grew into the best trading city along the Yirak Lake, it was a long tradition to chain ships that were still when the northwest wind began to blow in early winter. Otherwise, it was because the ship was drifting away all night.

Ryu Hee-gyeom did not know how the war would conclude. However, the ends of the chained ships were predictable.

He held his breath and waited for the right time.

Time passed quietly. While looking over the lake, several small lights were seen approaching Ryu Hee-gyeom's eyes. It was what I was waiting for.

Ryu Hee-gyeom and his subordinate, Eomak-young, exchanged their eyes once and rolled their feet. It was easy for both of them to climb over the wall with master craftsmen. Ryu Hee-gyeom slightly limped his left leg, but there was nothing much wrong.

There were not many torches that lit the inside of the large villa, and the security was relatively loose. Ryu Hee-gyeom and Go Mak-young quickly headed deep into the place where King Suk will be.
