The Overlord of Blood and Iron Chapter 258

Chapter 258
Chapter 258: Aluko’s Report
“D-Delcadooooo!”
Cladius screamed .
-Keak!
-Uck!
-P-Please…! Uackkkkk!
Beyond the screen, a gruesome scene was playing .
-Please . . .
-No .
-I want to live!
-That’s not my business .
-Your Majesty! P-Please!
-Relax, shut up, and just get beat .
-Uackkkkk!
Kang Chul-In on the screen was merciless .
“You savage! J-just kill him!”
It was to the point that Claudius unintentionally shouted for the death of his next-door neighbor .
-Keuk, keukkkk! P-Please . . .
-Then why’d you ignore my letter?
-But… it was so… unbelievable . . .
-That’s your mistake, not mine . It’s normal to be punished if you don’t have faith .
- . . .
-So get beat up .
-Keackkk!
How was a human so shameless and cruel?
If he had said that he wanted to beat someone up and kill them on the notice, it would’ve been easier to believe .
That’s a demon! Not a human! A human can’t be like that!
Cladius was completely frozen in fear watching the scene .
-K-Kuk!
-Let’s end it now .
- . . . !
-Any last words?
On the screen, Kang Chul-In asked Delcado a question with a sword emitting white light in his hand .
-P-Please let me liv . . .
-Die .
Flash!
The light of the sword flashed as it drew an arc .
Plop .
Delcado collapsed .
-Hey, you .
Kang Chul-In spoke at the lens of the magic-engineered communication device . He was speaking to Claudius .
“Y-Yes?!”
-You have 4 hours and 30 minutes left .
“ . . . !”
-Decide by them . Whether you’re going to cut off your alliance with Rothschild or . . .
Kang Chul-In glanced at his feet when he said that, towards where the dead Delcado was .
-You die .
“Huk!”
-I hope you make a wise decision .
At the same time, the communication device was cut off .
Click!
Psss, pssst!
The black and white screen filled Claudius’ vision .
“The Supreme King of the West! The real Supreme King of the West! The Supreme King of the West killed . . . !”
Thanks to that, Claudius plopped to the floor blankly .
5 hours .
He had to choose by then .

“Wow, Kang Chul-In . . . ”
Dorian clicked his tongue .
“Truly a demon . Totally a demon . ”
“ . . . What’s with those eyes?”
“You’re really evil . ”
“ . . . ”
“How can a person beat up people so well?”
“Can’t you do everything well if you just practice?”
“W-What?”
“They say people who’ve eaten meat before eat it well . ”
“S-So?”
“It means I beat up a lot of people . ”
“Huk!”
“Well, it’s not something to brag about . ”
Kang Chul-In grinned .
That scary guy… just who did he beat up so much . . .
Dorain was scared . All he could talk about was how powerful . . .
“Anyway . ”
Kang Chul-In spoke as he tapped Delcado’s head with his foot .
“Let’s clean up before we go . ”
“O-Okay . ”
“Hey, get up . ”
Kang Chul-In spoke to Delcado .
“Keuk…!”
Delcado groaned .
Surprisingly, he was still alive .
So this is useful during times like this .
He smiled sourly looking at Mitra on his waist .
Because Mitra couldn’t be used to kill anyone, no matter how much he cut someone, he wasn’t injured at all .
In fact, Delcado was a mess after being beaten up by Kang Chul-In, but his body wasn’t split in half .
“Hey, I said to get up . ”
“Keuk . . . ”
“Will you feel better once I actually kill you?”
“M-my body . . . won’t… lis . . . ”
It seemed like he had been beaten up too much .
“Tsk, there’s nothing we can do . ”
Eventually Dorian stepped up .
Puk!
His dagger swiped down on Delcado’s neck .
“Keuk!”
Delcado fell over after half a scream . He had fainted .
“Since you did it, you carry him . ”
“Humph!”
“Then should I just kill him?”
“T-That’s not . . . ”
“Then take care of him . I’ll leave first . ”
Kang Chul-In broke through the office window to go outside .
Shatter!
“ . . . He’s breaking everything just because it isn’t his . ”
Dorian shook his head, Delcado on his back .

In a dark room deep inside the Cyamodus territory . . .
A cocoon started to split apart .
Rip, rip!
With an ominous sound, a white arm stretched out of the cocoon and ripped at the cocoon around itself .
Rip, rip! Tear!
The process of ripping the cocoon continued .
The right hand, left hand, and left leg .
The body after that .
“Whew!”
Alex Rothschild breathed out when he ripped out of the cocoon .
White smoke was coming from his body .
“I feel . . . disgusting… very disgusting…”
Rothschild muttered as he looked at his bare body .
His body was covered with a sticky liquid, and he looked quite grotesque .
However, Rothschild’s muscles squirmed like they were alive, and each of his muscular fibers could be clearly seen .
His muscular fibers looked like they were connected by Kevlar [1], not proteins .
“So this is the power of Agnana . . . ”
Rothschild muttered as he looked at his palms .
“It’s dirty, but strong . This power… there’s no need to strengthen it . Just where did you get this kind of power, Andrei?”
It was then .
-Are you there, your Majesty?
Akul’s voice rang out from a magic-engineered speaker .
“What . . . is it, Akul?”
-It’s an emergency, your Majesty!”
“Emergency?”
-Overlord Lee Chae-rin’s military is heading for our Baldur region, and from the east, Lord Vito Clemenza’s army is coming, and has already swallowed three territories .
“Is that so…? Well, alright . ”
Rothschild was relaxed even though the Baldur region was being attacked from both sides .
“I’ll take care of it one by one while taking care of business . ”
-That’s not all, sir!
“ . . . ?”
-Some of the territories we are allied with have received letters from Kang Chul-In .
“Kang Chul-In, again? Alright, explain . ”
Akul spoke about the information in Kang Chul-In’s notice .
“I see, I see . . . ”
Rothschild wasn’t mad .
“Pft, pft pft! That’s what he did? That Kang Chul-In did this to isolate me?”
-Y, Yes, sir . . .
“Well, sure, whatever . ”
“What? Your Majesty, you have to prepare for . . . !”
“Prepare . . . Fine . I’ll call for a meeting one hour later, so tell the messengers to get ready . ”
-Understood, your Majesty . . .
Akul was flustered because Rothschild’s voice was so calm, but he didn’t ask why . Recently, Rothschild had called his subordinates depending on his mood and killed them, showing his tyrant instincts .
“Whew . ”
Rothschild sighed .
“I suppose it’s time to settle things with you . ”
His eyes were completely black with no whites . His clear blue eyes had disappeared .
“Wait a little, Kang Chul-In . There’s not too long until your life is taken… ha, hahahahaha!”
Rothschild laughed ominously .
While Rothschild was drunk on his new power, a periscope smaller than a pinkie disappeared through the ground .
Swipe!

One week later . . .
“D-Don’t come closer!”
Lord Gilbert shouted at the demon approaching him .
“Don’t you have any refreshing lines?”
The demon spoke with a grin .
“Don’t come, I said! Fuck off!”
“Goodness . . . ”
“You demon-like bastard!”
Gilbert had quite a temper, seeing how he was shouting in the Lords’ Hall after all his guards and soldiers were just killed .
That might’ve been why he had increased the security around his territory by 3 times and spent sleepless nights in the Lords’ Hall .
It’s easy to tell who’s gonna burst out crying just by their faces .
Kang Chul-In took a step closer to Gilbert .
As he did, Gilbert fainted with bubbles in his mouth, right before Kaiforce landed in his head .
“Whew . ”
Kang Chul-In sighed as he took Kaiforce back .
“I’m tired . ”
“Me too . ”
Dorian, who had suddenly come from somewhere, spoke with a tired face .
“And the clean up?”
“Good enough . ”
“That’s fine . ”
“Ugh… this isn’t something I want to do again . We send notices to the Lords so . . . and it’s hard when they move . . . ”
“That’s why we’re holding the Lords hostage . ”
“But it’s still hard… ugh . . . ”
“Cheer up . ”
Kang Chul-In dryly encouraged Dorain .
It’s understandable that he’s tired . Since I’m also tired .
To be honest, Kang Chul-In was tired as well .
The two had used up all their energy causing messes in 5 different territories for the last week .
“Huk, hukkk . . . ”
“Haaa… haaaa . . . ”
“Ugh . . . ”
The same went for Dorian’s airborne forces, the Wyverns Woman Airborne Forces .
They weren’t even at war, and causing terror in territories and running away was extremely tiring .
They couldn’t even imagine fighting against Rothschild’s forces .
“Anyway, shouldn’t we stop now? I think both of us will die from overworking ourselves if this keeps up . ”
Dorian spoke in a raspy voice .
“I was thinking of stopping anyway . ”
Kang Chul-In replied .
We’re at the limits now .
It was true .
The more time went on, the more the forces of the Lords were increasing . Even for him, it was dangerous to fight against all those soldiers . It was time to stop .
But we still gained something .
It wasn’t like this was for nothing .
From the 5 Lords that they spoke about, two of them had been taken care of by Kang Chul-In and Dorian, and the other 3 returned to Rothschild to cut off their ties and hide .
With this, Rothschild wouldn’t be able to ally himself with the Lords around himself for the time being .
Also, the other Lords in the Baldur region were hiding themselves, saying they wouldn’t be on Rothschild’s side . They had definitely achieved what they came to do .
Will you stay inside your territory even after I pressure you like this, Rothschild?
But something was strange .
It was normal to show some kind of response to this, but it was quiet . Like he was planning something .
It’s strange . . .
There was only one option for Rothschild to pick .
It was hard for him to help the Gullveig Coalition because he was busy with the attacks from Lee Char-rin and Vito Clemenza .
Then there was only one thing left . To swallow up the territories around him to gain power . That was the wisest path that Rothschild could take .
But why? Just what is he trying to do in there . . .
Just then, he heard the sound of wings flapping and some owl human suddenly came from the ceiling . It was Aluko, from Fox Valley’s reconnaissance group .
“Aluko greets the Supreme King of the West!”
“Oh, it was you?”
“Yes, your Majesty . ”
“Weren’t you watching over Rothschild?”
“Yes, sir . ”
“But why are you here? Has the reconnaissance group been found?”
“No, sir . ”
“Then why?”
“I came because I have important information to report to you!”
“Hm . . . ?”
“Your Majesty, I’ll report it to you separately . Could you make some time . . . ”
“Of course . ”
Kang Chul-In nodded .
“Your Majesty, Rothschild is currently . . . ”
After they moved to another location, Aluko reported to Kang Chul-In .
“Huh . ”
Kang Chul-In smirked when he heard the report .
It seemed like his bad fate with his enemy was on the closing act .
“The time to end that damned bastard’s life has come . ”
