Chapter 147
Chapter 147 . A shocking event occursThere are 5 Lords around this region. One Lord every week, so it’d take 5 weeks.
It would be an extremely easy for Kang Chul-In.
There was no need to even use the Cosmic Force.
Kang Chul-In knew all about the surroundings, and he also knew what kind of Lords there were.
How hard would it be for him to conquer some Lords that he had already defeated in his previous life?
Whatever the challenge was, it was much easier the second time around.
The problem is Baruk Al Yusuf and Rothschild.
Kang Chul-In’s true attention was elsewhere.
Even though Rothschild’s current pace is quite frightening...
Rothschild was currently ranked 14th among the all Lords, coming up the leaderboard at an extremely quick pace.
The one I need to really watch out for is Baruk Al-Yusuf.
Currently, the biggest threat to Kang Chul-In was none other than the psychopathic Baruk Al-Yusuf.
Kang Chul-In had only brought 40% of his entire force here, with the remaining 60% still stationed within the Pandemonium region. But unlike him, Baruk Al-Yusuf had all his troops with him.
If they faced off right now, it was obvious that it would be a difficult fight. Wasn’t that why he trusted Kwak-Jung?
I’ll trust your potential, Kwak-Jung.
Even though Kang Chul-In didn’t like Kwak-Jung’s normal gangster-like behavior, that didn’t matter when it came to war. To Kang Chul-In, all was okay if Kwak-Jung was able to show his worth during battle.
“Milord.”
At that moment, Kwak-Jung arrived.
“Have you called for me, Milord?”
“Why are you rushing so much? Calm down.”
“T-That… Haha… Isn’t it obvious that I would rush here after hearing that Milord was looking for me?”
Kwak-Jung rubbed the back of his head. It wasn’t the first time Kang Chul-In had experienced this.
But,“Why are you in such a mess?”
Kwak-Jung’s current appearance was quite a shock.
“S-Sorry?”
“Take a look at yourself.”
Kang Chul-In said, pointing at the mirror.
“...What?”
Looking at his reflection, Kwak-Jung gasped.
“H-Hahaha... Hahaha…”
Kwak-Jung’s embarrassed laugh filled Kang Chul-In’s room.
To think that he is really the one to make all those achievements in the future…
Kang Chul-In pressed his fingers against his forehead, speechless.
Kwak-Jung was in an absolute mess.
He had been scratched, with claw marks on his face and on his shirt. His hair was also in a mess.
“...It seems like you were taught a lesson by that cat-secretary of yours.”Exactly 26 days after Lee Gong-Myung was given control of Anatolia’s military, he succeeded in conquering 3 territories.
The territory that was falling right now was the last of the 3.
“Great Khalifa.”
While Baruk Al-Yusuf was inwardly shocked, Lee Gong-Myung came near him and spoke.
“Thanks to the Great Khalifa handing this one control over the military, I was able to seize 3 territories within a month.”
“Isn’t that all due to you?”
“That’s not true. This one is just a mere tactician, so all I did was think of some plans. If not for the Great Khalifa’s powerful army, how could I have been able to conquer the other territories?”
“Hmm…”
Baruk Al-Yusuf touched his beard.
Do I have to kill him?
Baruk Al-Yusuf seriously contemplated.
To let a man of this caliber go... It was too frightening to think of the consequences if the relationship between him and Alex Rothschild worsened.
If he were my subordinate…
No matter how useless someone was, Lee Gong-Myung would be able to turn them into an Overlord. That was the Lee Gong-Myung that Baruk Al-Yusuf had watched for the last 26 days.
And due to this, it made Baruk Al-Yusuf want to either kill Lee Gong-Myung or persuade him to join his banner, rather than allying with Alex Rothschild.
“Great Khalifa.”
At that moment.
“This one has just thought about it, but how about going south to conquer some more territories? Since I have a little more time, it makes me want to service the Great Khalifa a bit more. If you give me just two more weeks, I’ll definitely make 2 of the 5 territories in the South yours.”
“Southwards?”
“Yes, Great Khalifa.”
It was a tempting offer.
Was there a reason to decline, when such a genius strategist was offering his free service?
“Very well.”
Baruk Al-Yusuf nodded.
“We will go south.”
-----------
“Lucia will be the leader.
But first of all…”
When Kang Chul-In was about to speak---
“M-MILORD!!”
A voice that was closer to a scream could be heard. It was the voice of Podolski.
BANG!
The tightly closed door to the meeting was opened.
“M-Milord…”
Podolski, who was supposed to have gone with Arshelly to fish spoke, his body matted with blood and sweat.
“T-The princess… Arshelly has been… kidnapped…”
……
A terrifying silence filled the hall.
That was right.
A terrifying and shocking event had occurred.
