The Overlord of Blood and Iron

F-Father?

Even though she wasn\'t fully conscious, Arshelly could hear the voice of her beloved father .

“F-Father…?”

Arshelly spoke to Kang Chul-In with a weak voice .

“Yes, daughter . ”

Kang Chul-In answered .

“I’m here . Your dad is here . So…”

Kang Chul-In hopped off the Altaica .

“Don’t worry . ”

Saying this, Kang Chul-In’s eyes were full of fatherly love .

“D-Don’t tell me…”

When he saw this, Sheville Polansky---

“A-ah . . . ah!!!"

Seemed liked he was about to fall over on the spot from shock .

“T-That little b*tch . . . w-was the daughter of… O-Overlord Kang Chul-In…?!”

This wasn\'t even close to just a small mistake, so it was as if Sheville had stepped into a field of explosive mines .

The daughter of Overlord Kang Chul-In?

He had kidnapped the daughter of the man that even Baruk Al-Yusuf had to kneel to?

And he was planning on killing her before turning her into his mannequin?

T-This can’t be… No… No… NOOOO!!!

Sheville wanted to bite his tongue and die .

“This… won’t happen again . ”

Without taking so much as a glance at Sheville, Kang Chul-In promised .

“I… believe you, father…”

Arshelly spoke, her voice trembling .

Her voice resembled that of a dying person\'s .

When he heard it, Kang Chul-In’s heart felt like it was being torn apart .

“I-I love you, father…”

“Me too . ”

“Dad… Please save the ones trapped there too…”

Arshelly pointed at the other children stuck inside the glass containers .

“Don’t worry . ”

Kang Chul-In answered .

The Bittermoon territory would soon be taken over by Baruk Al-Yusuf anyway, and he wouldn’t kill those children since he followed the Islamic law .

“Yes, father . I can’t anymore . . . my eyes…”

“It’s okay, you can go ahead and close them . ”

Grabbing Arshelly, Kang Chul-In patted her on the back .

“Don’t worry . What is there to worry about when dad is here?”

“You\'re right…”

“When you wake up, we’ll both be in Laputa . ”

“Yes, father… I love…”

While Arshelly was speaking,

Droop .

Her eyelids shut closed, and her head drooped down .

With Kang Chul-In here, Arshelly was finally able to fall asleep in peace .

At last, Kang Chul-In didn’t feel the same emptiness he had felt before .

Was family such an important thing…?

Kang Chul-In realized just how important Arshelly was to him now .

And,

Son! Come and visit home more often!

His mother\'s, Park Sun-Ja’s, voice echoed in his head .

He couldn’t understand why he had ignored his mother in his past life, and instead only focused on waging war .

You, and mother .

Kang Chul-In vowed .

I won’t let any harm come to you .

-------

While Kang Chul-In was speaking to Arshelly, Sheville Polansky started to tiptoe towards the exit .

Of course, the problem was that Arshelly and Kang Chul-In weren’t the only ones in the room .

-Krrrr!

The Altaica growled towards him, as if warning him .

“ . . . !”

Afraid of the giant beast, Sheville stopped moving .

-Grrrr!

The Altaica showed off its fangs, which were still dripping with flesh blood . It also started to circle around him, intensifying his fright .

This damned beast!

Even though Sheville\'s eyes reddened from rage, there was nothing he could do .

-Hmph!

The Altaica snorted, ignoring him .

There was no way that the Sheville\'s ability would work against the Altaica, since it didn’t even know the ‘M’ in \'magic\' .

“Where do you think you\'re going?”

From behind him, Sheville heard the voice of the grim reaper .

“H-Hiik!”

“You have to pay the price now . ”

“I-I’m sorry…! Please have mercy…”

Sheville didn’t dare to turn around . He was too afraid to look at Kang Chul-In’s face .

Ah, I’m so screwed .

There was no way he could win against Kang Chul-In since he didn’t use magic . The only choice was to…

Plop .

Sheville turned his body around and kneeled directly in front of Kang Chul-In .

Bang!

He then started to smash his own forehead against the ground to apologize .

“I-I’m sorry!”

It was a quick apology, given in order to live .

“I won’t . . . won’t ever do this again! Also, I didn’t know… I really didn’t know that she was the daughter of the Overlord Kang Chul-In! I wouldn’t have kidnapped her if I knew! Please believe me…!”

Half of what he said was true, and half was a lie .

When he said he wouldn’t do this again he was just lying, in order to avoid death . Of course, the fact that he wouldn’t have dared to touch Arshelly was true .

“P-Please…!”

“Please?”

“I-If you let me… Kuhuk!”

Sheville choked due Kang Chul-In’s hand grabbing his throat .

“You should already know---”

“W-What do you mean…?”

“That I won’t kill you easily . ”

“P-Please…!”

“You…”

While Kang Chul-In was speaking, a white light flashed,

“You bastard!!”

And Sheville started to charge towards Kang Chul-In .

It was a sneak attack .

He had thrown a single-use item that should have blocked Kang Chul-In’s sight, before charging towards him .

However,

Tuk!

Kang Chul-In grabbed onto Polansky’s right arm, which held a dagger .

“Is this it?”

Kang Chul-In laughed .

“Since I don\'t have much time, let’s begin . ”

“ . . . !?”

“I will show you a whole new world of pain . ”

“Agghhhhh!!!”

A terrifying scream filled the secret chamber of the Bittermoon territory .

----------

Whilst Kang Chul-In was torturing Sheville Polansky, the Anatolian army was outside conquering the castle walls of the Bittermoon territory .

“Agh!”

“These bastards!”

Unlike before, the soldiers of the Bittermoon territory fell like leaves . The morale they had shown an hour ago was long gone .

“Great Khalifa . ”

Lee Gong-Myung spoke .

“Can you lend this one 2000 troops?”

“2000?”

“Yes, Great Khalifa . ”

“What’s the reason?”

“In order to block their escape route . ”

“Hm… Very well . ”

“Thank you, great Khalifa . ”

Lee Gong-Myung bowed .

“Oh, and when should I send out my great warriors?”

“I think now is the right time . ”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, great Khalifa . The Bittermoon territory is a mess right now . Since Kang Chul-In can run during the chaos, we should send out your great warriors and have them hunt Kang Chul-In down . ”

“Alright . ”

Baruk Al-Yusuf nodded .

“Kang Chul-In…!”

Baruk Al-Yusuf was confident .

50 elite guards of Anatolia, 50 assassins, and 100 soldiers . With this 200 man elite squad, he was confident in being able to catch Kang Chul-In .

“Just you wait! I will capture you alive, and rip you to shreds!”

Baruk Al-Yusuf spoke, his eyes glittering with madness .
