Chetamja: The King’s Eyes — S2 - Chapter 68

JURCHEN TERRITORY

HAN WILL LEAD SQUAD TWO, AND GYEONGJUN WILL LEAD SQUAD THREE.

SEARCH EVERY AREA IN YOUR ASSIGNED DIRECTION.

MOVE OUT.

GOOD. WE SHOULD GET GOING TOO.

DAWN WILL BREAK SOON. WE NEED TO MOVE FAST.

THERE MIGHT BE JURCHENS IN THE AREA.

STAY ALERT.

YUJEONG.

ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THIS?

?

SAY WE FIND CAPTAIN KIM AND GWIYEONG...

...AND THEY DON'T LISTEN TO US.

ARE WE REALLY GOING TO KILL THEM?

WE CAN WORRY ABOUT THAT AFTER WE'VE FOUND THEM.

WE MUST HURRY! THE SUN WILL RISE SOON!

STOP...!

WHAT IS IT?

LOOK OVER THERE...

I SEE... SOMEONE.

LET'S CHECK IT OUT BEFORE WE MOVE ON.

WHOA...!

WHAT HAPPENED?

KEEP QUIET! WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?

B-BUT LOOK...

IT'S AN ARM...

WHAT...?

...?!

WAIT A MINUTE...

WHAT'S ALL THIS MESS?

THEY'RE ALL... DEAD...

THIS IS H-HORRIBLE...

HE'S MISSING HIS EYES, NOSE, EARS,

AND ALL HIS LIMBS TOO.

THEY LEFT NOTHING INTACT BUT HIS MOUTH.

DO YOU THINK CAPTAIN KIM DID THIS...?

THIS IS BRUTAL...

YEAH, PROBABLY.

YUJEONG WAS RIGHT.

THE MAN WE'RE DEALING WITH ISN'T THE CAPTAIN KIM WE KNOW.

IN ANY CASE, THIS MEANS GWIYEONG AND CAPTAIN KIM PASSED THROUGH HERE.

WE'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

THEY WERE HERE LESS THAN TWO HOURS AGO.

WE HAVE TO GO AFTER THEM RIGHT AWAY.

MOVE IT!

THERE'S NO TIME TO WASTE!

ONCE WE GET THROUGH THESE WOODS, WE'LL SEE A TINY VILLAGE.

THEY MUST'VE HEADED THERE!

HUFF

HUFF

DARN IT...

WE GOT HERE TOO LATE...!

THREE HOURS AGO

CAPTAIN... THE GUY REALLY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THE INCIDENT.

I FIGURED AS MUCH. BUT IT DOESN’T MATTER.

I DIDN’T HOPE TO FIND THE ANSWERS FROM THE FIRST ONE ANYWAY.

WHERE IS THIS PLACE?

IT’S A SMALL VILLAGE THAT BELONGS TO THE WILD JURCHENS.

THIS IS WHERE WE START.

LET'S GO.

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU BEEN HERE?

WHAT...?

DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE AND FIGHTERS THEY HAVE?

OR DO YOU KNOW THE NAME OF THEIR CHIEF AND WHERE HE IS?

LI GIO.

THAT'S THE NAME OF THEIR CHIEF.

HE'S A SKINNY GUY, BUT HE'S QUICK ON HIS FEET.

GIO IS A SAVVY OPPORTUNIST WITH A SNAKE-LIKE PERSONALITY...

...WHO USES TWIN BLADES.

HAVE YOU MET HIM BEFORE?

DO YOU KNOW HOW A SMALL TRIBAL VILLAGE LIKE THIS GETS BY?

I'M NOT SURE...

HUH? WHO THE HELL-?

WHENEVER THEY GET THE CHANCE, THEY CROSS THE RIVER AND PLUNDER JOSEON VILLAGES...

...AND MAKE SLAVES OUT OF OUR PEOPLE.

YOU WERE ASKING HOW MANY TIMES I'VE BEEN HERE.

WHO KNOWS? I DON'T EVEN BOTHER COUNTING ANYMORE.

WHIMPER

YUL? WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I NEED TO PEE.

THAT LITTLE TYKE... ALWAYS AT THIS HOUR...

ARE YOU DONE ALREADY...?

WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?

I SEE... YOU MUST BE A CHETAMJA...

SO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE CHETAMJA.

LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING, LI GIO.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CAME TO JOSEON?

WHAT...?

OR HAVE YOU ORDERED ANYONE TO ENTER JOSEON LATELY?

THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO SAY...

...WHEN A JOSEON BASTARD WALKS INTO MY HOME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?

IT SHOULDN'T BE ANYTHING NEW TO YOU. YOUR PEOPLE DO THIS ON A REGULAR BASIS.

HA!

NOW, ANSWER ME. HAVE YOU RECENTLY ENTERED JOSEON LANDS...

...OR ORDERED ANYONE TO KILL THE FAMILY OF A CHETAMJA?

F-FATHER...

I SEE NOW... SO YOU LOST YOUR FAMILY.

THAT EXPLAINS THIS RIDICULOUS SITUATION.

LET MY SON GO.

THEN I'LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW.

ANSWER THE QUESTION.

I DIDN'T DO IT, BUT I KNOW WHO MIGHT HAVE!

LET YUL GO...

...AND I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I KNOW.

F-FATHER... HELP ME...

LOOK. I'M A FATHER TOO, JUST LIKE YOU.

I'LL DO WHAT YOU ASK, SO--

YOU SLY, OPPORTUNISTIC SNAKE.

WHAT...?

FATH--

DO YOU REALLY THINK...

...I'D NEGOTIATE WITH A SAVAGE?
