Meanwhile, Changseop, who had gone to a castle on the coast of Jeolla Province, had nothing to do.
Jeolla Province was untouched by the Balhae army, and many people were unaware that a war had broken out.
In the beginning, Changseop also prepared diligently, not knowing when the Balhae army would arrive, but the people had no reason to be alarmed by the Balhae army that was not even visible.
Changseop also became exhausted and everything became lax.

‘In this case, I’d rather just go to school.’
이창섭
"ha…"
Then the emergency trumpet sounded and the outside became noisy.
이창섭
“What’s going on?!”
“Some troops are coming towards us by boat right now!”
Seongju ran and told Changseop.
“It looks like the Balhae army.”
이창섭
"what?!"
이창섭
“Are you saying you’re coming to the sea?”
"yes."
이창섭
“Quickly inform the soldiers and prepare for battle.”
이창섭
“We have to get everything ready before they land!”
"yes!"
Changseop also quickly armed himself and went out to the beach where enemies were said to be coming.
After a while, the soldiers gathered.
Most of the soldiers had no idea what the situation was or what Balhae was.
There was no way the battle could proceed properly in that state.
In the end, the Balhae army came rushing in and the castle fell in an instant.
The Balhae soldiers killed those they could kill and took those they could take.
Changseop, who was on top of the castle, was soon captured.
“He seems like a prince, let’s just take him.”
“It’ll be a hassle if I kill them for no reason.”
"okay."
The place where the Balhae army swept through was like a wave of death, with nothing left alive and the ground dyed red with blood.
And the fact that Changseop had been taken prisoner was soon known to the king.
But there was nothing the king could do as he fled during the war and was tightly wrapped up.
윤정한
“Hey. Did you hear that?”
이민혁
"what?"
윤정한
“Is this the 5th prince, Lee Chang-seop…?”
윤정한
“I heard you were taken prisoner by the Balhae army?”
이민혁
"what?!"
이민혁
“So, does that mean the Balhae army came to Jeolla Province as well?”
윤정한
“You said you came back by going around the sea?”
이민혁
“…”
이민혁
“It looks like the war will drag on for a while…”
윤정한
"why?"
이민혁
“That’s the granary.”
*Granary: Literally a food warehouse. Within a country, it refers to a place where a lot of grain is produced.
이민혁
“The original goal was to quickly attack the capital in a short-term war.”
이민혁
“It looks like they’re stopping here, passing the granary, replenishing supplies, and preparing for a long war.”
윤정한
"ha…"
윤정한
“I wish it would end soon.”
