Chapter 151
hapter 151: The March of Apocalypse (pt . 2)
Lee Gong-Myung was leading 15,000 troops from the Anatolia territory .
Clack, Clack .
Riding on a chariot pulled by two unicorns, Lee Gong-Myung looked at a map of the Ishtar region, and smiled faintly .
5 territories in a straight line . If I’m able to take these down… Nearby Lords won’t dare to attack Baruk Al-Yusuf, and he will then have force on par with Kang Chul-In .
Thinking like this, Lee Gong-Myung’s plan of ‘strengthening Baruk Al-Yusuf’ was a success .
Why?
Because due to this, Alex Rothschild would gain a powerful ally, or rather meat-s.h.i.+eld, in Baruk Al-Yusuf .
And,
If we conquer these 5 territories, Baruk Al-Yusuf would be sharing borders with two other Overlords, Hecate and Aleister .
This was the frightening foresight that only Lee Gong-Myung could have .
----------
-Krrr!
The Altaica roared, on top of the castle walls .
The sound was so loud and fearsome, that the remaining soldiers trembled in terror .
“Don’t worry, and come up!”
It was Kang Chul-In, riding atop the Altaica .
As soon as the battle had started, he and the Altaica had scaled the castle wall, slaughtering any that dared to come near .
“Yes, Milord!”
“Go!!!”
Following Kang Chul-In’s shout, the soldiers of Laputa soon followed .
Watching the soldiers of Laputa quickly climbing up the wall, the remaining enemy soldiers tried to gang up on Kang Chul-In .
However,
“Small fry should get lost . ”
With one cold message, Kang Chul-In waved his right hand . It was his authority that let him control miniature tornadoes, Vortex .
BANG!
The tornado that he sent out soon spread out, and started to cut through the bodies of the opposing soldiers .
“AHH!!”
Fresh blood splattered on the castle walls .
“T-That’s not a human…”
“What kind of monster…”
The lucky survivors stared at Kang Chul-In in horror, realizing they would never win .
-Krrr!
The G.o.dbeast Altaica also showed its might, using its large legs to sweep aside any soldier that came close .
It wasn’t an overstatement to say that the terrifying synergy between Kang Chul-In and the G.o.dbeast was unparalleled in terms of strength .
“You b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!”
Drakan shouted, wielding his giant greatsword .
“Drakan!”
Kang Chul-In shouted .
“Yes, Milord!”
“Take the castle walls, and I’ll go hunt down the Lord of this territory . ”
“This one will definitely do his best to stand guard while Milord is gone! Good luck, sire!”
“Alright . ”
Kang Chul-In nodded .
“Let’s go!”
Tapping the Altaica slightly, Kang Chul-In started moving deeper into the Daox territory .
“Aghh!”
Where Kang Chul-In went, a trail of blood followed .
Daughter .
Kang Chul-In vowed .
I won’t leave anyone alive .
--------
In the Lord’s hall of the Daox territory---
“M-Milord! Quickly, you need to go into hiding!”
The secretary of the Daox territory, Douglas, spoke .
“D-Dammit! What the h.e.l.l is happening?”
The Lord of the Daox territory, Steve, shouted .
“Why the h.e.l.l is Kang Chul-In, that madman, wreaking havoc in my territory? What have I ever done to make him angry?”
“Milord! It’s not time to…”
As Douglas was trying to warn Steve to hide himself…
BANG!
With a large explosion, the door was opened by a man who was riding a giant tiger .
Douglas was incredibly shocked .
Kang Chul-In was covered in blood . No matter how powerful one’s mind was, it was difficult to be calm after killing so many people . But currently, Kang Chul-In was the epitome of calmness, looking as if he didn’t have a single care in the world .
There was no violent, bloodthirsty demon .
Just a father looking to save his daughter .
“O-Overlord Kang Chul-In… . ”
Looking at Kang Chul-In, Steve could only open his mouth in shock .
After all, what could he do, when he was powerless to resist against Kang Chul-In?
“W-Why are you invading my territory? Have I done anything to offend you?”
“You have . ”
“ . . . ?”
“You definitely did do something wrong . ”
Steve couldn’t understand .
He had been stuck in his territory looking after his own internal affairs, and Kang Chul-In had busted in, telling him that he had made a mistake .
“Answer the questions I ask . If you lie to me, I’ll start to chop off your body parts . Do you know the Lord of the Bittermoon territory?”
“ . . . !”
“Answer me . ”
“I-I know him . ”
“Then, do you also know that the Lord of the Bittermoon territory, Sheville Polansky, was here just a few days ago?”
“Y-Yes, sir!”
“Then tell me, what was his purpose in visiting?”
“T-That…”
Steve suddenly went quiet, unsure of what to say .
Dammit! What the h.e.l.l is he trying to get me to say?
Steve tried his best to think .
What kind of relations.h.i.+p does he have with that crazy old man? Is he trying to punish me for my deal with him? It can’t be, right? He doesn’t look like a man that would look for honor, after all…
“M-Me and Lord Sheville Polansky are just Lords that share similar regions, so we don’t have any special relations.h.i.+ps to speak of . The purpose of his visit was so that we can form an alliance…”
At that moment .
Tuk .
White flesh dropped onto the floor of the Daox territory,
Soon after,
“Argh!!!”
Steve’s shout of pain filled the hall . Kang Chul-In had chopped off his right arm .
“Say something that makes sense . ”
Kang Chul-In said, his voice extremely cold .
----------
Sheville Polansky used the illusion network to try and communicate with the other Lords near him, in fear of Baruk Al-Yusuf .
“Dammit!”
Sheville Polansky muttered in rage .
No matter how many times he had called, the ‘Alun territory’ didn’t respond . There was a high possibility that it had already been conquered .
If Baruk Al-Yusuf was really coming south, then the next target would be the Iago territory .
And if the Iago territory was also conquered?
“I-I’m also in danger!”
“Milord!”
At that moment .
“A request for help has come in from the Chermart territory!”
“W-What?! The Chermart territory? W-What is it? Don’t tell me that Baruk Al-Yusuf is coming from both sides…?”
“N-No, sir! O-Overlord Kang Chul-In has just trampled the Daox territory with his army, and is planning to march North! We don’t have an accurate estimate of their numbers!”
“O-Overlord Kang Chul-In?! What the f.u.c.k?!”
Sheville Polansky was astonished .
“Why in h.e.l.l is that Overlord from the Pandemonium region…”
“Milord!”
While Sheville Polansky was still thinking, a new report came in .
“A request has come in from the Iago territory! Baruk Al-Yusuf is approaching quickly, with… 15,000 soldiers!”
“W-What!!?”
Sheville Polansky once again shouted in shock .
