The Overlord of Blood and Iron

Chapter 269

Chapter 269: Kang Chul-In, the Villain of the Century!

“I have only one request . ”

Kang Chul-In smiled .

“Let me into the Pentagon . ”

“ . . . !”

“That’s all I’m asking for . If you do, then I won’t lay a single finger on you or your baby . ”

Chills! Mei Ling was taken aback .

The Pentagon . Back on Earth, it referred to the headquarters building for the United States Department of Defense, but in Pangaea, it referred to the command center for the Gullveig Alliance . In other words, Kang Chul-In was requesting to enter the heart of the Gullveig Alliance which was hidden deep under the grounds of Bifrost .

“T-That is i-impossible . ”

Mei Ling shook her head violently .

“A-Anything but that! Please request for something else . . . ”

“No . ”

“P-Please…!”

It was a simple request, but Mei Ling couldn’t just say yes . There was a war going on . Thus, most of the Lords of the Gullveig Alliance were staying in the Pentagon, except for Vilhelm and Ao Xin who were personally out on the battlefield .

N-Never!

Mei Ling could already expect what would happen if she said yes . As a rule, the Lords in the Pentagon couldn’t bring along many bodyguards . After all, a rogue may create havoc in the command center where the leaders of the northern lands of Pangaea all gathered .

Because of that, only the Lord, their secretary and fewer than five bodyguards were allowed in the Pentagon . This rule applied to even Vilhelm, the chairperson of the Gullveig Alliance . What if Kang Chul-In had penetrated into this facility?

Everyone will die… everyone…!

A total massacre would happen .

“Why, you don’t want to?”

Kang Chul-In pressured Mei Ling .

“You’re asking for too much . . . ”

“Oh, am I?”

“ . . . !”

“But what to do . . . ”

Kang Chul-In gradually began to stroke Kaiforce’s handle . It was a clear threat and a warning .

“You are starting to spoil my mood . ”

“P-Please… anything but that… anything . . . ”

“I don’t need anything else . ”

“ . . . ”

“I only want to enter the Pentagon . ”

Kang Chul-In was a stubborn man .

“And also . ”

“Y-Yes?”

“Do you think I, the Supreme King of the West, have anything else to ask from you, you bitch?”

“ . . . !”

“Know your place . ”

“ . . . ”

“I have everything that I need . ”

His words were crude, but they were certainly not wrong .

Money? It was true that Kang Chul-In wasn’t so affluent, but he had a great sponsor called Lee Chae-Rin .

Honor? His reputation was already so horrendous, there was nothing that could revert that .

Moreover, Mei Ling didn’t carry any items that could satisfy Kang Chul-In . As for women or Mei Ling herself… further explanations were not needed .

“B-But… your request is beyond my capabilities . . . ”

At that moment .

“My lady, are you asleep?”

A middle-aged maid spoke softly and entered the room .

“There’s a message from his Majesty Vilhelm that he expects a victory and . . . ”

Instantly,

Swish, slash!

A black flash of light slit the maid’s throat .

Thump, roll . . .

The eyes were still wide open . The maid’s head fell on the floor of Mei Ling’s bedroom .

Pssssshhh!

And subsequently, crimson-red blood began to spurt out from the headless body .

“ . . . !”

Mei Ling couldn’t even let out a scream . She simply froze .

It wasn’t because of the murder . She herself was an explorer . Although she retired after marrying Vilhelm, in the past she had frequently witnessed her companions being eaten up alive by monsters .

However, things were different this time .

He could really… die!

Mei Ling could vividly picture her baby’s death in the hands of Kang Chul-In . Her own death aside, what kind of mother could bear the pain of letting her own child die?

She’s shaken up .

Kang Chul-In grinned in satisfaction inwardly .

He had no intention of killing the mother or the child from the very beginning . He might have been a demon, but he was no scum . Killing a newborn baby was a crime that he refused to commit .

Moreover, Mei Ling and her baby’s death could fuel the Alliance army’s anger and vengeance . Infiltrating the Pentagon was 100 times, no, 1000 times wiser .

“So, are you going to let me enter the Pentagon or are you going to die here?”

A final warning .

“Ah fret not, I will spare your baby . ”

“R-Really?”

“But I can guarantee that he won’t have a great life . ”

“ . . . ”

“Have you ever heard of the Aoji coal mine?”

“Sorry?”

Being Chinese, Mei Ling had no knowledge about that North Korean coal mine .

“You don’t know? Alright, let me put it this way . ”

“ . . . ”

“My wife has a mine called Niðavellir . ”

“A-And?”

“The dwarves live there . That place produces mithril, gold, silver and even steel, but the dwarves themselves find it difficult to work there . ”

“W-What!?”

Mei Ling was shocked .

The dwarves were tough . Covered with muscles from head to toe, they possessed three times the stamina, strength and lung capacity of a normal human . But even they were having a difficult time in that mine?

“If you choose to die here, then I will specially make your son a slave in the Niðavellir mine for the rest of his life . ”

“What!?”

“For generation after generation . Forever . ”

“ . . . ”

“Well, I can bet on him not living past the age of twenty in that place . ”

Brrrrr!

Mei Ling’s body trembled . A human did not belong in that horrible place .

Kang Chul-In was basically telling Mei Ling that he would gradually let her son die a miserable death .

“P-Please . . . ”

“I’m warning you . I hate excuses . ”

“Sob . . . ”

“Now, choose . I will give you three seconds . ”

“ . . . ”

“One . ”

“ . . . ”

“Two . ”

“ . . . ”

“Thr- . . . ”

“I-I will do it!”

In the end, Mei Ling succumbed to Kang Chul-In’s threat .

“I will do it . ”

“Wise choice . ”

Kang Chul-In grinned .

“But promise me that you will let my child and I off . . . ”

“Don’t worry . ”

“C-Can I trust… you?”

“I’m Kang Chul-In, the Supreme King of the West and the King of Valhalla . I promise on my life and honour . ”

0% credibility!

He was being awfully shameless for an intruder in the middle of the night .

“ . . . ”

What mattered to Mei Ling, however, was that he would keep to his promise .

***

Kwak Jung had no intention of letting the Gigantes destroy the castle walls . That would lead to a catastrophic defeat .

Webner Fighter Wing, go and annihilate those pieces of meat!

Kwak Jung commanded .

With a buzzing noise in the air,

Brooooom!

A black swarm emerged from within the Deathwin stronghold .

Long live his Majesty Kang Chul-In!

For Valhalla!

Let’s soar!

Our first mission!

The Webner Fighter Wing .

Comprising of male ant demi-humans, it was a division of Valhalla’s air force . The females couldn’t join because they didn’t have wings .

Once the subordinates of Kimura, they were now labourers and aviators for Kang Chul-In!

Focus on their nostrils, ears and eyes!

Kwak Jung relayed specific orders .

Yes, commander-in-chief!

We shall do that!

Let’s go and destroy the enemy!

With that, the ant demi-humans began to attack the Gigantes .

“Roarrrr!”

“Argh!”

“It stings!”

An average height of 25 metres! The Gigantes were capable of withstanding a landslide, but they were powerless against the Webner Fighter Wing . That was to no one’s surprise . The male ants were much more agile than normal humans, not to mention that they could fly . The Gigantes couldn’t dodge the attacks that were coming from every direction!

Moreover, the male ants possessed a jaw strength that could even slice through metal, and their sharp teeth carried a moderate bit of poison .

Thump, thump!

The earth trembled .

“Arghhhh!”

“Keheuk!”

“Get lost, I said get lost!”

The Gigantes screamed in agony .

Brooooom!

However, the Webner Fighter Wing was merciless . They drove their powerful jaws into the Gigantes’ skin and injected their poison . They were tough enough to attack any weak points, as Kwak Jung had told them to . Some even crept into the Gigantes’ underwear and bit on their reproductive organs and buttholes!

Heh .

Kwak Jung smiled cunningly .

“Tsk tsk… it’s not all about the size, you idiots… even humans can die of bee stings . To think you’ve brought giants to the battlefield… well, it’s good that they have a large surface area to target . ”

Kwak Jung’s insight was flawless .

The Webner Fighter Wing was indeed a hard counter to the Gigantes .

In addition, the Gigantes possessed another disadvantage .

Artilleries are you ready!?

Kwak Jung shouted with the loudspeaker .

Yes, commander-in-chief!

Easy to target, aren’t they?

Yes, sir!

The large surface area meant that the artilleries didn’t have to aim much .

Then what are you waiting for? Fire!

Yes, sir!

One shot, one kill, you hear me?

Yes, sir!

With that,

“3…2…1… Fire!”

All the cannons in Valhalla breathed fire .

Pow, powww! Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow!

“Focus your shots!”

The energy cannons bombarded the frontmost Gigantes .

“Argh!”

It began to scream and twist in pain . Subsequently, it tripped over its own foot .

As for the aftermath,

“Huh? Oh shitttt!”

“I-It’s falling!”

“Run everyone!”

“You bastarddddd!”

The Gullveig Alliance soldiers were at the receiving end .

Thump!

The Gigantes collapsed .

“ . . . ”

For a brief moment, the Gullveig Alliance soldiers were lost for words .

Crushed to death . It wasn’t just one or two soldiers . As the soldiers were lined up in dense rows, the casualty amounted to hundreds .

“Arghhhh!”

The Valhalla artilleries were firing relentlessly, while the Webner Fighter Wing was still contributing in the battlefield .

“A-Another one!”

Someone shouted .

“Fuck!”

“Run!”

“Forget about the positions, just run!”

The Gullveig soldiers ran for their lives, breaking the line-up instantly .

“Excellent!”

Kwak Jung grinned from ear to ear .

“Damn it… if only we had Hecate here!”

The enemy was engulfed in chaos . If Hecate was around, she could have dealt a massive blow on the enemy as . . .

Waited long?

It was at that moment .

Kyaaaaahahahaha~!

A husky voice echoed throughout the battlefield . Hecate was finally making her appearance!
