Chapter 283: The Girl’s SOS (2)


“Honey?”


Lee Chae-Rin, who was right next to Kang Chul-In, noticed a change in the air .


“Is there anything wrong?”


“No, nothing . ”


Kang Chul-In shook his head .


“Just a standard report . ”


“Doesn’t seem like it though?”


“You are being paranoid . ”


“Hmm . . . ”


Lee Chae-Rin narrowed her eyes and stared at Kang Chul-In .


Damn it, why does it have to be now!


Meanwhile, Kang Chul-In was struggling with conflicting ideas in his mind .


Amplifier Talisman? He certainly craved for it . He already owned the Overpower Bracelet . If he got his hands on the Amplifier Talisman, then he would have possession over two-thirds of the Trinity Impact set . Moreover, if he subjugated Brynhildr and took his Sonic Ring . . .


I would… truly become the strongest being in Pangaea .


Then, nobody could stop him for sure . A million enemy soldiers? He could annihilate them all with the Trinity Impact . He could be a living atomic bomb .


However, there was a problem .


If I leave this place . . .


His family would be disappointed .


“Honey . ”


At that moment, Lee Chae-Rin whispered in Kang Chul-In’s ear .


“Go . ”


“ . . . !”


“Mother-in-law, Ninetails, Skadi, Arshelly and me… none of us will be sad or disappointed, I’m very sure . ”


Sad or disappointed because the husband is busy? Or feeling lonely? Nonsense! That could certainly be possible for other families, but these were no ordinary ladies . As Kang Chul-In’s family members, they had to be prepared for such an occasion .


If not, how could they be together with Kang Chul-In, the ultimate ‘busy man’?


“M-Me too!”


Skadi suddenly appeared from nowhere .


“Your Majesty… is a busy man… but I’m not disappointed at all!”


She was timid, but expressed herself clearly .


“Mother-in-law!”


“Yes?”


“Mr . Chul-In has business to attend to in the other world!”


“Well, my son is a busy man indeed! Hohoho~! Tell him to go quickly!”


Park Sun-Ja was immune to any surprises .


“Husband~! All the best~!”


“Goodbye, daddy~! We will be waiting here~!”


Ninetails and Arshelly shared the same opinion .


Wow!


Kang Chul-In was deeply moved by his family’s response . Of course, he didn’t show it . How could a man reveal his emotions so hastily!?


“Mother . ”


Kang Chul-In spoke to Park Sun-Ja .


“I will be back . ”


“Sure~! Go ahead~! We will be waiting for you here . ”


“Yes . ”


Indeed, there was no need for him to be hesitant since he wasn’t leaving the place for good . Moreover, his family had a lot of time on their hands . They could tour around Earth’s various resorts for a month or two . When Kang Chul-In finally returned after work, they could travel again .


Kid . . .


Kang Chul-In began to make his way towards Pangaea .


What great timing . . .


Still, he couldn’t deny that it was a bad time for him to receive the call .


***


“O-oh my god, oh my god!”


Lily Sephardi glanced at the battlefield and walked around in circles anxiously .


The battle was one-sided .


Atal Ramanujan’s soldiers, led by Lee Ji-Tae, were advancing at an immense speed while annihilating her soldiers .


“Your Majesty, it’s not feasible to continue fighting!”


Her secretary, Rooibos, advised .


“I-I know… I know, but…!”


“Your Majesty, you have to call for a retreat!”


“But if we forfeit that place . . . !”


It had been three days since the start of the war . Her soldiers were currently fighting at a vital location in Zolushka . If she forfeited that place, her army had to retreat all the way back to Zolushka’s castle . They would then have to defend for their lives there as the final resort .


“Your Majesty, didn’t you contact the Supreme King of the West, Kang Chul-In? It’s wiser to first forfeit that land and enter a defensive mode . We can’t stop that many enemy soldiers alone!”


Rooibos spoke the truth . Atal Ramanujan had injected a staggering 60,000 soldiers to conquer Zolushka . Although they were poorly trained mobs with failing equipment, they could still dominate their enemy using sheer numbers . To top it all, Lee Gong-Myung was their commander-in-chief . Led by one of the greatest tacticians in Pangaea, the soldiers could fight to their maximum capabilities .


“Your Majesty, you have to trust Kang Chul-In!”


Rooibos urged Lily once again .


“He may be a cunning war-maniac, but I heard he is a man of his word . ”


“T-That’s right! Chul-In oppa was the one who taught me Sumire’s feelings!”


“Yes, Your Majesty . That’s right . The Supreme King of the West is a power-hungry devil, but he is not a dishonorable man . So, let’s trust him and retreat! At this rate, our whole army may be wiped out!”


Now was the right time to retreat .


Any more delay and Lily’s soldiers would not make it out alive .


“O-Okay!”


Finally, Lily decided to call for a retreat .


All men, retreat! Hurry!


“Your Majesty, you should leave too! This place will soon be taken over by the enemy as well!”


“R-Right!”


Lily also decided to retreat away from the battlefield .


Chul-In oppa .


There was no reply .


Come help us! Quick!


The only person who could turn the table was Kang Chul-In, the Supreme King of the West, the most evil and powerful Lord of all .


***


“Who!?”


Kang Chul-In roared angrily the moment he returned to Valhalla .


“Who dares to interrupt my vacation!?”


A thundering voice .


His rage was truly horrifying .


D-Damn it! I shouldn’t have told him!


Kwak Jung struggled to not collapse to his knees .


Flick, flicker!


Kang Chul-In was getting more terrifying by the day .


That tremendous burst of mana!


Kwak Jung, who was quite a strong explorer himself, could barely continue to stand .


“Hurry up and tell me . ”


“It’s… Atal Ramanujan . ”


Suddenly, a vein popped up on Kang Chul-In’s forehead .


“That coward?”


In the past, that man had hidden behind Alex Rothschild and Aleister and had witnessed Kang Chul-In’s death .


In other words, he was one of the three Lords who had attacked him when Valhalla was getting stomped on .


“Yes . Atal Ramanujan has conquered Itaracia, located at the Chamonix mountains . He is causing havoc in that girl’s territory now . ”


“Right, there was one last bastard left . How can I screw him up…? Just thinking about it already thrills me… hehe…!”


“I beg your pardon?”


“Nothing . ”


“ . . . ”


“Go on with your report . ”


“Ah, okay . . . ”


Kwak Jung couldn’t comprehend Kang Chul-In’s words and remained puzzled .


“Ahem, anyways, since Atal Ramanujan has conquered Itaracia, I would say his Northern Expedition has been extremely successful . In fact, the reason why Atal Ramanujan couldn’t climb up the ranks despite a huge population was due to the southern region’s weather and harsh terrains . Now that he has taken over Itaracia, he will try to advance to the central region of Baldur . ”


“Right . ”


“In other words, to prevent Atal Ramanujan from becoming the third superpower . . . ”


“I have to help this kid anyway, is that what you’re saying?”


“Yes . ”


It was killing two birds with one stone .


If Kang Chul-In wished for a Valhalla vs Gullveig Alliance situation, he had to eliminate the risk factor called Atal Ramanujan .


“The problem is . . . ”


“It’s too far?”


“Yes, it’s just too far . From the west of Ishtar to the south of Baldur… it’s honestly difficult . ”


“Hmm . . . ”


“It’s not feasible to send a large army across that distance . The supply route will also be extremely long, hence it’s impossible to drag the battle for more than a week . Hence, what I’m suggesting is . . . ”


“To send a small group of elite soldiers?”


“Keh! Your Majesty, you are quite a tactician yourself!”


“This is nothing . You are more amazing . ”


“Not at all . My brain works well thanks to your trust in my work!”


“Hahahahaha~!”


“Hehehe~!”


The king and his subject were scratching each other’s back .


“Alright, how long do you think the kid can hold?”


“About a week or so . ”


“Can we make it by then?”


“If we use Zeppelin and the warp gate, then it’s possible . ”


“Good . ”


Kang Chul-In nodded .


“Gather a group of elite mercenaries and send them to the kid’s territory . ”


“What about yourself, Your Majesty?”


“I . . . ”


Kang Chul-In replied .


“I will be there first . ”


He had to be there in case the Amplifier Talisman went missing .


“Ah, Your Majesty . ”


Kwak Jung added .


“What is it?”


“Kwak Jun, that bastard, got promoted to Vilhelm’s senior advisor . ”


“Hmm! That means . . . ”


“Yes, many things will change depending on how we handle that bastard . ”


“Can you do it?”


“Leave it to me!”


Confidence maketh a man .


Kwak Jung replied with a grin .


“Keh… good, very good . ”


Kang Chul-In nodded in satisfaction .


“That’s my tactician . ”


“Hehehe~!”


“Hahahaha~!”


They were scratching each other’s back once again .


***


“I, the ruler of Bifrost . . . ”


Vilhelm spoke .


“I, Overlord Albrecht Vilhelm . . . ”


He was holding Gjallahorn, the broad sword that was the Soul Core of Bifrost .


“From this moment onwards, I hereby appoint Kwak Jun, the commander-in-chief of Paramount and the tactician of Lord Vito Clemenza, as the senior advisor of Bifrost . ”


“I am eternally grateful, Your Majesty!”


Kwak Jun kneeled on one knee and bowed .


“In addition, I . . . ”


Vilhelm was about to continue his speech when . . .


Flash!


The warp gate in the middle of the Lord’s hall emitted a brilliant beam of light .


“Your Majesty . ”


Someone emerged from the warp gate .


It was a knight in a pristine white armor, which covered him from head to toe . He kneeled down in front of Vilhelm .


“Brynhildr…!”


Vilhelm couldn’t be more delighted .


***


In front of the Zolushka castle . . .


“Long live His Majesty Ramanujan!”


“Long live Shatyameba!”


“Long live commander-in-chief Lee Ji-Tae!”


High in spirits, the Shatyameba soldiers rampaged through the battlefield as they cheered for their leaders .


“Argh!”


“Arghhhhh!”


“M-Mercy… Kuhul!”


The soldiers of Zolushka fell helplessly to the Shatyameba soldiers . The reason for their defeat was simple . The Shatyameba soldiers were moving in unprecedented patterns, catching the Zolushka soldiers off-guard . It was truly a remarkable display of tactics .


“O-Oh no…!”


Lily Sephardi couldn’t believe her defeat .


In fact, it was a total defeat .


She had thought of enduring until Kang Chul-In’s reinforcements came, but that might not be possible .


The Shatyameba soldiers reached the castle front in just three days, and they penetrated the castle walls in just two days . Lily only had a small castle wall left, located between the inner and outer castle .


“Y-your Majesty! You have to escape!”


Rooibos persuaded Lily .


“Any further delay and you will be hurt!”


“B-But!”


“The inner castle will fall soon . Your Majesty, you need to remain safe no matter what!”


He was right . Zolushka had technically fallen . It was only a matter of time before the Shatyameba soldiers infiltrated the Lord’s hall .


Bam!


Suddenly, the Lord’s hall’s door shattered into pieces .


“Still here, huh?”


Ahinandi, a general of Shatyameba, looked at Lily . He had thousands of soldiers marching behind him .


“I… I . . . ”


Lily clenched her teeth .


“I… will never run!”


That was the girl’s will . Instead of abandoning her territory, she had chosen to fight to the end .


“Y-your Majesty!”


Rooibos, her secretary, went pale .


“Rooibos, I will fight!”


“ . . . !”


“I can’t just run away! Even if I die here, I will never abandon this territory!”


She was a young girl, but she had the courage of a lion .


Clap, clap, clap!


At that moment, someone gave her a round of applause .


“W-Who is it?”


“Doesn’t ring a bell . ”


“An ally?”


“Who is that bastard?”


The Shatyameba soldiers mumbled in puzzlement .


“Get lost . ”


The man then pushed the soldiers aside and stepped into the Lord’s hall .
