Chapter 336: The Path of Blood and Iron





Meanwhile, at around the same time, the young Lord Lily received an urgent report from her new secretary. She was lining up her army on the training grounds according to advice from Kang Chul-In.


“What’s wrong?”


“Something big’s happened!”


“S-Something big?”


“The e-enemies…! Huk… huk…!” The secretary couldn’t even speak properly from running all the way to where Lily was.


“P-Please calm down and tell me slowly. What happened exactly?”


“T-The enemies…!”


“Enemies?”


“Overlord Lee Ji-Tae’s army… huk… huk huk…!”


“Overlord Lee Ji-Tae… the one who took over Atal Ramanujan…?”


“Yes! T-That’s correct!”


“No way…”


“Yes, Your Highness.” The secretary gasped to continue. “Overlord Lee Ji-Tae’s army is heading towards Itaracia!”


“O-Oh, dear…!” Lily was shocked. “But it’s alright!”


However, she wasn’t scared.


“The military power of our Zolushka territory is incredible! If we can use the geography of Itaracia to our benefit…”


“Y-Your Highness…”


“Yes?”


“T-The number of our enemies…”


“...?”


“The military power of the Shatyameba territory is a-approximately… 500,000 people!”


“R-Really?”


It was an exorbitant amount. 500,000 people. It was a number of soldiers that would appear in the battle going on in the north with the Valhalla Kingdom and the Gullveig Alliance.


“Y-Yes… no matter how well our soldiers are trained it’s impossible to withstand 500,000 enemy soldiers…”


That was an irrefutable fact. How could Lily withstand a grand army of 500,000 soldiers? With her current ability, it would be difficult to even fight against 100,000 soldiers.


“W-What should we do?” Lily was taken aback. “There’s too many… I can’t stop that many soldiers.”


“Your Highness, quickly request for support from the Valhalla Kingdom!”


“The Valhalla Kingdom? B-But oppa’s kingdom is in the middle of a war with the Gullveig Alliance… I can’t ask him for help again… he’s already helped me a lot.”


The oppa that Lily was talking about was obviously Kang Chul-In.


“I can’t do that… Oppa won’t have any soldiers to spare…”


“No, Your Highness!”


“N-No?”


“His wife, Overlord Lee Chae-Rin!”


“Ah…! That unnie with a lot of money?”


“Yes, Your Highness!”


Lily’s secretary was a pretty smart person.


“B-But…!”


“Your Highness, this won’t be a nuisance!”


“I-Is that so?”


“Yes, Your Highness. Here, look!”


The secretary pulled out a map.


“Currently, there is a war happening in the north for control of the territory, but that’s only if this place-”


“The Baldur region?”


“-Yes, only if the Baldur region is calm is that the case. Look here. Overlord Lee Chae-Rin’s forces and the Gullveig Alliance split the Baldur region into two. We can interpret that this is to prevent a third-party from appearing for a three-way war.”


“S-So?”


“If Overlord Lee Ji-Tae’s 500,000 soldiers conquer our territory and above the Baldur region, what will happen?”


“...Another large power will appear?”


“Yes.”


“So that means…”


“The Supreme King of the West Kang Chul-In won’t want Overlord Lee Ji-Tae to step on our territory either. He’s already in the middle of a war with the Gullveig Alliance, so if another army starts coming from behind him he’ll have to make a new game plan.”


Everything the secretary was saying was correct.


“Your Highness, please contact Overlord Lee Chae-Rin. Overlord Lee Chae-Rin is the Supreme King of the West Kang Chul-In’s wife. She’ll help us willingly. This way, we can protect our territory and help the Supreme King of the West.”


“Will we really?”


“If we ask them too late, it’ll be detrimental for both sides, so why hesitate?”


“A-Alright!” Lily made her decision. “I’ll ask Overlord Lee Chae-Rin unnie for help!”


“You’ve made a wise choice, Your Highness. Overlord Lee Chae-Rin is an affluent Lord who holds most of the wealth on the continent. She’ll be able to stop Overlord Lee Ji-Tae with money. And even if she can’t, we’ll be able to stall for time until the Supreme King of the West comes.”


“Please send a message to Lee Chae-Rin unnie immediately!”


“Yes, Your Highness!”


“Also…” Lily’s eyes flashed. “I must go to Itaracia myself.”


“Y-Your Highness! That’s too danger…”


“I have to go.” The young Lord was firm. “If I don’t step up to encourage our soldiers myself, we won’t be able to stop Lee Ji-Tae’s military! Lords are supposed to step up to the plate themselves too!”


“Your Highness…”


“Quickly send a message to Lee Chae-Rin unnie! I’ll get ready to go to Itaracia!”


“Y-Yes, ma’am.”


The secretary felt inwardly amazed by Lily while heading towards the messaging room.


Oppa!


Lily thought of Kang Chul-In.


I won’t avoid it! I can do it too! I’m also a Lord!


Lily had grown after meeting Kang Chul-In. The weak young girl was now a respectable Lord!



After the explosion settled, in the Gullveig Alliance’s territory, a wall of the commanding center came crumbling down.


“...!”


Everyone was shocked.


“Ke…”


It was none other than Saturnus who broke through the wall. Surprisingly, the demon had survived the incredible attack.


“Who?” The bloodied demon looked for the culprit with a smiling face. “Which one of you bastards that don’t amount to anything allowed that dull trick?”


Saturnus was extremely angry due to the great explosion. Saturnus was angry beyond imagination from being distracted from his amusement.


“Was it you?”


“N-No, sir…”


The head of the general exploded like a watermelon.


“Or was it… you?”


“I-It was not me! P-Please! Please believe me…”


The head of the messenger soldier also broke into pieces.


“Then…” Saturnus’s gaze was fixed on a frozen Milenius. “It must have been you?”


“N-No, sir!” Milenius denied the charges. “M-Master! How could I…”


There was nothing else he could do. He might’ve been an Agnaga, but in front of an ancient emperor, he was just a mouse in front of a cat.


“F-First, please listen to me… it wasn’t intentional…”


It was when he was starting to excuse himself...


“He gave the orders!”


Kwak Jun quickly pointed at Milenius.


Dammit!


Milenius face paled. Right now, he had to excuse himself somehow. That was the only way he could survive. And even then, his life could still be in danger. The demon from hell was a monster who was moved by sadism and rage.


But,


That crazy bastard!


Kwak Jun was pointing to him as the cause of the situation.


You dare to…!


That mere marionette called him out!


“The explosion just now was a strategy called Project King Slayer, and its purpose was to destroy the Supreme King of the West Kang Chul-In and the White Knight Brynhildr at the same time!”


“Oho?


Saturnus grinned at Kwak Jung’s tattling. It was a shiver-inducing smile from Milenius’s perspective.


“So that’s what happened…?”


“Yes, Your Majesty!”


Kwak Jung bowed towards Saturnus.


“Majesty? Why are you calling me that, you lowly being?”


“Your Majesty is the strongest.”


“The strongest?”


“I know because I got a report in real-time. Kang Chul-In, the strongest in the continent, couldn’t stand against you. So wouldn’t the true owner of this continent be you? Your Majesty, you are the owner of this continent!”


Emperor. That was the only word and nickname that Saturnus liked.


“Ke… you know how to roll your tongue.”


“No, Your Majesty. I just wish to become your faithful dog to survive.”


“I like it.”


“I-It’s nothing!”


“Anyways.” Saturnus turned to Milenius. “You…”


“M-Master!”


“You bothered me while I was spending some time with my son, hm?”


“Master! That’s a misunderstanding…”


At that moment,


Crunch! Saturnus gripped Milenius’s face.


“Kuk, kuk…!”


“Kek… you insect… you dare to mock me?”


“M-Master… kuk! T-That’s…”


“Die.”


As soon as Saturnus spoke those words, the “punishment” began. Milenius’s chin began to split, and it was soon “separated.” Saturnus had pulled out his chin!


“I’ll rip you to shreds.”


“H-Heackkkkk…!”


A gruesome scene began. Arms, legs, hair, skin… Saturnus used his brute strength to take Milenius apart one by one. A few seconds later, Milenius’s corpse was rolling on the commanding center of the Alliance.


“Kek… that loser dared to stab me in the back… hehe… I suppose the human world is a fun place to play games?”


A horrifying smile… the charisma of the Emperor of Carnage was beyond imagination.


“Find him.” Saturnus ordered. “My son isn’t dead.”


“Yes, Your Majesty!” Kwak Jun quickly replied to his orders.


“Also…”


“Please give me your commands!”


“I’ll continue to fight against the kingdom my son established. I want my son’s people’s pain, my son’s women, and my grandchildren. Do you understand what I’m saying?”


“Yes, Your Majesty!”


“Ke… good… we’ll start the war games now… the festival of blood!”


Madness shined in Saturnus’s bloodshot eyes.



Son, wake up!


His mother’s voice rang in his head.


Dadddd! Wake up!


He could hear Arshelly’s voice too.


Husband!


Honey!


Your Majesty!


His wives too.


And…


Oppa, oppa!


Han Ye-Sun’s voice as well.


“Kuk…!”


Kang Chul-In opened his eyes with much difficulty.


Oppa! Can you hear me?!”


“Where.. is… kuk!”


“Don’t overdo it! Stay still!”


Han Ye-Sun forced him down.


“Ack!” Another shout escaped his mouth.


“Don’t move! Never! Not now!”


“Kuk…”


Oppa, you’re hurt a lot right now… you almost died.” Han Ye-Sun spoke in a teary voice. “You almost died.. so don’t get up… you’re a mess right now!”


He really was. All his bones were broken, his lungs were crushed under his ribcage, and his muscles, which had been as strong as steel wire rope, were all ripped. There wasn’t a single internal organ that was fine. A severe injury. No, a critical one. They were injuries that normal people would’ve died from already.


“Ke…” Kang Chul-In groaned. “It hurts…”


“What?”


“It hurts… a lot…”


That was it. Kang Chul-In just groaned and didn’t say much. Although he was experiencing unimaginable pain, he didn’t say anything more.


“Huk…!” Tears brimmed in Han Ye-Sun’s eyes. “S-Sorry…”


“What… are you sorry for?”


“I-I didn’t know anything… I-I just thought you were going crazy… s-so…” She was finally telling the truth. “I just… I… couldn’t understand you. So I tried to stop you… if I didn’t stop you… you wouldn’t be like this… I-I was bait.”


“It’s fine.”


“...!”


“Those things happen… so don’t... blame yourself.”


Unexpectedly, Kang Chul-In’s old way of speaking came out of his mouth. It was how he spoke to Han Ye-Sun back during their puppy love days, the school days.


“O-Oppa?”


“You didn’t do it on purpose… so let’s just move on.”


“Huk…!”


“But…”


“Hm?”


His tone quickly changed.


“Where am I?” Kang Chul-In asked. “And how much time passed?”


“A-A week?”


“The war?”


“I’m not sure… I just know we’re in the south of the continent.”


“The south?”


“Your belt brought us here.”


“Ah…” Kang Chul-In realized how he was able to survive.


This special function will save your life when in danger. Because your defense equipment was so bad...


What the legendary blacksmith Vulkan said flashed through his mind. The Invincible-rank item, the “Iron Curtain” belt... that was what saved Kang Chul-In and Han Ye-Sun?


“And Lucia…?” However, rather than being relieved about his survival, Kang Chul-In asked about Lucia first.


“She’s alive.”


“Are you sure?”


“Yes.” Han Ye-Sun nodded. “She went to see if there were any gates nearby. That belt saved all three of us.”


“That’s a relief…”


“Yeah… it is.”


“First… kuk!”


Kang Chul-In quickly raised himself.


“O-Oppa!”


“There’s no time to be like this.”


“No!”


“We don’t have time…” Kang Chul-In was feeling rushed. “Every second is precious… we don’t have… time… soon… he will resurrect…”


Oppa!”


“I have to… prepare…”


However, there were limits to his capabilities. Kang Chul-In fell over.


Oppaaaa!” Han Ye-Sun quickly supported him. “Why are you going so far…!?”


“Earth…”


“...!”


“Even Earth… will be in danger… before that… have to stop…”


Then, Kang Chul-In fainted.
