The Overlord of Blood and Iron

Chapter 269






“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!
