Chapter 970: Regret (4)
Seongwoo's funeral was held according to Seong Guk-eon's suggestion.
Instead of expressing their condolences in silence, they filled the space with recollections.
The memories of those who remembered the deceased were truly striking.
Given that the background was the era of darkness, stories of heroism were pouring out.
"During the dark times, your grandfather commanded the defense of Incheon Port, General? When I saw the name in the textbook..."
"I intentionally erased the name. At the time, the plastic surgery was supposed to be held in Jindo, Jeonnam."
"Knowing that the general was in charge, the crafty enemies hesitated and stopped their advance. Thanks to the name Seongdae, we did have a few close calls," they said.
Back when the great hero Song Man-seok was in his prime, there would have been few who could stop him, and it was unimaginable that the crisis passed because of the name Seongwoo.
It sounded like an exaggerated tale that elderly people often tell, but everything they said was a fact recorded in history.
Although Seongwoo had made a mistake during the recording process, there were differences in details such as the commander’s name, the allies' strategy, and the routes taken, the most important performances and outcomes were consistent with history.
Hearing these words from the elders made me realize just how extraordinary Seongwoo was.
Even if I had been in the dark, I would have wanted to erase Seongwoo.
