The Overlord of Blood and Iron
Chapter 167

Chapter 167

Chapter 167 . Are you looking for this?

The reason that Lee Gong-Myung was afraid wasn’t simply because of the terrifying aura that Kang Chul-In was emitting . It was also because he had noticed that there was a small girl in Kang Chul-In’s arms,

A girl? D-Don’t tell me…! Overlord Kang Chul-In broke through Baruk Al-Yusuf’s army just to save… a girl? With his life on the line?

Lee Gong-Myung started to think quickly .

I-I’m sure that’s someone in his family . It might be his daughter or his little sister . If not, there’s no way that he would risk his life just for a simple girl .

Lee Gong-Myung’s guess was correct .

“Is that… your daughter?”

Lee Gong-Myung asked cautiously .

“Does it look like that?”

“Yes, it does . ”

“That’s right . She’s my daughter . ”

Kang Chul-In agreed readily .

“She was kidnapped by Sheville Polansky, the lord of the Bittermoon territory . ”

“So…”

“What father would just stand by if their daughter was kidnapped? Did you not watch Taken?

Kang Chul-In asked .

Both Liam Neeson and Kang Chul-In had jumped into enemy territory willingly in order to save their respective daughters .

“Haha . ”

Lee Gong-Myung laughed, nearly speechless .

“Taken… I guess so . The scale seems a little big, though . ”

“Is that so?”

“How many have you killed so far?”

“Maybe a thousand? I don’t really count when I kill people . ”

Kang Chul-In answered, unshaken .

“Amazing… I didn’t know you were someone like this . ”

From Kang Chul-In’s responses, Lee Gong-Myung could tell what kind of person Kang Chul-In was .

Ambition and bold . That was Kang Chul-In . He was a person that would be willing to do anything in order to reach their goal .

This kind of person couldn’t be predicted once they set their minds to something, as they would be willing to do anything .

“Well… I think this is enough probing, so shall we have a chat face to face now?”

Laughing, Kang Chul-In started to move towards the edge of the cliff .

This man… is trying to kill me!

Lee Gong-Myung could feel cold sweat pouring down his back, his heartbeat starting to increase, and his legs start to shake . Even though his mind remained cool, his body didn’t follow his will .

Not… negotiable .

Lee Gong-Myung completely erased the notion of trying to negotiate with Kang Chul-In .

Lee Gong-Myung… you die here .

Kang Chul-In’s thoughts were that different .

To him, Lee Gong-Myung was a great enemy that couldn’t be kept alive .

Unlike the useless lord that was Rothschild that only knew how to rely on his money, Lee Gong-Myung was extremely smart . After all, the reason that Alex Rothschild was able to push Kang Chul-In to his doom was because he had Lee Gong-Myung by his side .

Lee Gong-Myung was a big obstacle in Kang Chul-In’s path to becoming the emperor of Pangaea . Even bigger than Alex Rothschild .

“I’ll be back . ”

After saying that to the Altaica and the sleeping Arshelly…

Tuk!

Kang Chul-In jumped towards the other cliff, where Lee Gong-Myung was .

“ . . . !”

Looking at this, Lee Gong-Myung’s eyes were filled with even more shock and fear .

The distance that separated the two cliffs was massive .

The originally short and narrow canyon had become wider because of Lee Gong-Myung’s traps, and now they had at least 150 metres splitting them apart .

He couldn’t believe it .

Even though he was an Overlord, he was trying to jump 150 metres with a standing long jump .

It wasn’t like he had some flight abilities, or like he was the Hulk from Marvel .

He was closing the distance extremely quick, as he streaked across the sky like a rocket .

Looking at this, Lee Gong-Myung clenched onto his White Rain Fan harder .

The only thing that could save him from this situation was the White Rain Fan .

The White Rain Fan had the powers of ‘calling the rain and wind’, as well as ‘moving the mountains and rivers’ .

I can do it!

Lee Gong-Myung put all of his remaining mana into the White Rain Fan .

Kang Chul-In was currently midair, and it was practically impossible for him to dodge in that state . This was Lee Gong-Myung's chance .

The moment when Kang Chul-In’s feet weren’t on the ground!

Kuooo!

A white breeze started to swirl around Lee Gong-Myung’s fan .

And,

Whik!

Lee Gong-Myung swung his fan in the direction of Kang Chul-In . Using the power of the wind, he was trying to push Kang Chul-In down .

Whiiii!

The fierce winds traveled to where Kang Chul-In was, and tried to pull him down .

Pft-

But unexpectedly, Kang Chul-In laughed .

Wind?

Call whatever winds you want .

Kang Chul-In had the authority ‘Vortex’, which was able to completely overpower the winds that the White Rain Fan could bring .

“Take this . ”

Saying this, Kang Chul-In’s right hand glowed with a blue light, and the vortex met with Lee Gong-Myung’s winds .

And the result,

Kuaa-!

Was an overwhelming victory for Kang Chul-In and the vortex .

After negating Lee Gong-Myung’s attack, the vortex started to fly towards Lee Gong-Myung .

“ . . . !”

Looking the massive vortex flying towards him, Lee Gong-Myung nearly let go of the fan in his hands .

To think that Kang Chul-In would be able to counter this attack… it wouldn’t be an overstatement to say he had no future left .

I need to run…

Lee Gong-Myung threw his body with the remaining strength he had .

BANG-!!

And the vortex swallowed the area that Lee Gong-Myung had been in .

---------

After returning to the Bittermoon territory, Baruk Al-Yusuf called all of his troops, and hurriedly started to retreat towards his territory .

“Slow, too slow! Hurry up already!”

Since Baruk Al-Yusuf continued to command the soldiers, the soldiers didn’t even have time to rest .

“Uu…!”

“So… tired . ”

This was a bad and stupid use of one’s army .

If Baruk Al-Yusuf was smart, he wouldn’t have moved his army from here even if he had to sacrifice his territory .

It was idiotic to try and return to Anatolia quickly after conquering the Bittermoon territory just 3 hours prior .

And not only that, but it was nighttime .

They needed at least a day to rest after fighting the battle, so it was obvious that the soldiers would be extremely exhausted .

What would he be able to do even if he returned to Anatolia when his army was so exhausted?

Even if Baruk Al-Yusuf used his authority to empower his troops, they wouldn’t be able to fight unless they had stamina left .

“Quickly! I told you to move faster!”

But under pressure, Baruk Al-Yusuf didn’t have a cool mind .

Anatolia was a key piece in Baruk Al-Yusuf’s dream of building an Islam empire within Pangaea . It was a treasure that Baruk Al-Yusuf couldn’t give up no matter what .

“These slow bastards…”

Unsatisfied with the marching speed, Baruk Al Yusuf shouted .

“Anyone that falls behind will be executed…”

Just when Baruk Al-Yusuf was shouting---

“Huh?”

“What’s that?!”

“Are they doing fireworks…”

Some soldiers looked up at the night sky, and questioned .

“What are you doing, in the middle of…”

Angrily, Baruk Al-Yusuf turned his gaze towards where the other soldiers were looking .

Something’s shining?

There, he could see some shining things falling . A lot of them, and extremely quickly!

“What the fuck…?”

At this unexpected situation, Baruk Al-Yusuf swore .

“Hmm?”

At that moment, one of the soldiers put their hands out in curiosity at what these shining things were . Then,

BANG!

That soldier’s head blew up .

“ . . . !”

At this sudden explosion, everyone looked over .

Or to be precise, they tried to, but couldn’t .

Why?

Because that explosion was just the beginning .

Bang!

Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Everywhere, small explosions occurred .

Although the blast radius wasn’t that big, it was extremely effective .

Ddudduddudduu…

The sound of rumbling hooves shook the ground…

“Where are you running!?”

“You weak trash!”

And around 1000 cavalrymen ambushed the Anatolia soldiers from the back . They were soldiers wearing black--- the cavalry of the Laputa army!

That wasn’t all .

Flap flap!

With large flapping noises---

-Kyooo!

-Kyakkk!

Wyverns started to pack up together and fly over the Anatolian soldiers . These were the reinforcements that Kwak-Jung had called .

And,

“I’m here!”

A man that was riding on the biggest wyvern roared .

“KANG CHUL-INNN!!”

The wyvern rider, Dorian Explorer, shouted Kang Chul-In’s name .

“I’m here! I’m here to repay my debts!!”

Dorian shouted to someone who wasn’t there .

“We go!”

Dorian jumped off the wyvern .

Bang!

Landing perfectly and rolling like an action star, Dorian stood up .

“Now, let's…”

When Dorian was about to show off his confidence and begin the fight, he started to look around him, as if something were weird .

“Uh… Well, haha…”

Dorian laughed awkwardly .

“Who the hell is this guy…?”

“What’s this bastard doing…?”

The soldiers of Anatolia all stared at Dorian, as if they were looking at an idiot .

“Hey, why only… why me! Hey! You traitors!”

Dorian shouted towards the sky, or more accurately, towards his allies .

No one had jumped off with him .

The only person that had descended was Dorian .

Which meant,

“I-I’m, I'm just going to go now, okay…? Haha…”

That Dorian had just jumped into enemy territory by himself, just like an idiot .
