BXBX NOVEL Chapter 269
“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 massacre 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 bitch?”
“ . . . !”
“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, slash!
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 scum . 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 succumbed 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 buttholes!
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 shitttt!”
“I-It’s falling!”
“Run everyone!”
“You bastarddddd!”
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 .
“Fuck!”
“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 .
“Damn it… if only we had Hecate here!”
The enemy was engulfed in chaos . If Hecate was around, she could have dealt a massive 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!
