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 ma.s.sacre 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 b.i.t.c.h?”

　　“ . . . !”

　　“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, slas.h.!.+

　　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 sc.u.m . 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 succ.u.mbed 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 b.u.t.tholes!

　　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 s.h.i.+tttt!”

　　“I-It’s falling!”

　　“Run everyone!”

　　“You b.a.s.t.a.r.ddddd!”

　　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 .

　　“f.u.c.k!”

　　“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 .

　　“d.a.m.n it… if only we had Hecate here!”

　　The enemy was engulfed in chaos . If Hecate was around, she could have dealt a ma.s.sive 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!
