"What? Are you saying the truth?" Kimchawon asked
"I dare not lie before Your Majesty" Dae So said
"I will send some men, should your report be wrong, you'll lose your head!" Kimchawon said, seriously.
"Yes! But, Your Majesty, if i'm right, then, Gamel nation shall be mine. Deal?"
"And, why would i make a deal with you?"
"Because, giving me Gamel is just the same as owning Gamel, sir"
"We'll discuss this later" Kimchawon concluded, walking out of his chambers. Dae So followed him.
THE ARSENAL
The four men; Sa Yeong Do, Yi Man Wi, Song Gu Pyo, Seo Lee Yang, jumped off the stairs, landed on the ground, causing a loud gbim sound, raising dust. They swiftly entered the weaponry. They were really surprised at the level of advancement Kayang had attained in building so many advanced weapons {but not as advanced as nowadays' weapons}.
"Wow! This swords aren't just swords" Gu Pyo admired, touching the sword beside him.
"Don't touch anything" Lee Yang cautioned, as Gu Pyo hurriedly took his hand off everything. They walked towards the shelf of books.
"We choose the most useful ones. The confidential ones" Yeong Do said
"And, how do we identify them?" Man Wi asked
"There must be a way" Yeong Do said, falling into a deep thought.
"Maybe..." Lee Yang paused
"Maybe what?" Yeong Do asked
"I think, it should have a connection with the light" Lee Yang suggested
"As in?" Man Wi asked
"As in, we heat them. The ones that yield fire are the tips to these advanced weapons" Lee Yang said
"Or, maybe darkness" Gu Pyo added
"Let's try Lee Yang's suggestion, first" Yeong Do said, as he picked up a lamp. The others also grabbed lamps, and walked towards the sets of books. They heated the books, and some things were strange. Some of the books and rolls started glowing in different colours with the Kayang nation icon on them.
"Wise Lee Yang" Yeong Do complimented. They started packing the absurd books and rolls into some sacks, and then, they heard some strange fast footsteps, sounding like that of multiple runners.
"We've been found, Your Highness" Lee Yang said
"Huh? What do we do, now? Are we going to die?" Gu Pyo asked, expressing all traces of fear.
"Are you afraid?" Yeong Do asked
"Afraid? No, i am not!" Gu Pyo lied.
"Better. Now, let's go fight them off" Yeong Do said, standing on his feet.
"What? Fight them?" Gu Pyo yelled
"Lee Yang, you continue gathering those books. I and these three will keep those fools away" Yeong Do said
"No, Your Highness. You are Gamel's future. I can't leave you to fight them off. I'd rather do that" Lee Yang said
"What do you mean? I gave you an order!" Yeong Do shouted
"Your Highness should rather kill me" Lee Yang said. This word surprised Gu Pyo and Man Wi a lot. How could someone be so loyal to a prince like this?
"Okay, if you're going to be like this. Let's escape, instead. Guys, get all those books, i'll ignite this place!" Yeong Do said, as the other three hurriedly packed as much as books they could. Yeong Do, on his own, went to the door, poured the oil in the lamps at the door. Then, he left the lamp in the oil, causing a loud wide blaze.
"Let's go! Let's go!" Yeong Do called on the other men, as they all hurriedly carried the sack.
"How do we get out of here?" Gu Pyo asked
"The wall" Lee Yang said
"Wall? Are you ins.....?" Gu Pyo paused, after being pinched by Man Wi "...how do we pass through the wall?" he asked peacefully.
"That unknown weapon!" Yeong Do said, pointing at the only cannon in the room.
"Can Your Highness operate it?" Man Wi asked
"We try what we have to!" Yeong Do replied, running to the cannon's control panel. He hit all he could on it, and after much trial, the cannon shot out a ball, breaking the wall down. They all ran out, and watched the arsenal burn down into pieces.
"Gamel straight!" Yeong Do said
"What about Lord Shin?" Man Wi asked
"Maybe, you should go back for him!" Yeong Do replied harshly, mounting one of the horses in a stable nearby. The others too mounted.
KIMCHAWON'S CHAMBER
Kimchawon barged in angrily, with Dae So behind him
"Had it been you allowed me in sooner, you'd have caught him" Dae So said
"Fool! Keep shut! Is anyone out there?" Kimchawon called, and a guard ran in.
"Get the general! We are attacking Gamel!"
