Chapters Chapter 128. An Uninvited Guest in the Middle of the Night (Pt. 1) (1/2)
At Timothy’s sudden report, Kang Chul-In didn't know what to say.
What? A devil?
This wasn’t some sort of wuxia novel. Did the Demon God come back from life and return to start a revolution or something?
Even though Pangaea was also just a fantasy previously, it was still hard to believe that things like devils existed.
“Explain it carefully.”
Kang Chul-In said, focusing.
“That… last night, a soldier called Pluto who was patrolling near Furnace 0 started to rampage around, holding the sword that Milord used before…”
“You mean Kaiforce.”
“Yes, sire.”
“Huu…”
Kang Chul-In pressed his forehead.
He was tired.
He had just spent the last 10 hours in the Lord meetings and was tired, but that stupid sword just couldn’t let him take a break.
It said in the description that it had infinite durability…
It was said that Kaiforce was indestructible and that it wouldn’t change or rust no matter what. Kang Chul-In didn’t think that Kaiforce would actually be able to stay in the furnace for that long, and still be completely fine.
“So, what happened after. Actually, tell me the casualties first.”
Kang Chul-In asked calmly. The most important thing was the people lost.
“So far, there are no dead.”
“And the injured?”
“There are a total of 291 people that have suffered injuries, both major and minor.”
“Tell me only about the serious injuries.”
“There are 3 blacksmiths who have suffered severe injuries, and a soldier who was patrolling with Pluto who is also severely injured. Other than them, I suppose that around 50 more soldiers have suffered from big injuries.”
“Has there been harm to any of the officials?”
“Sir James and Michael have also been injured, and they are currently being treated right now.”
“James and Michael?!”
Kang Chul-In was astonished.
Commander James of Laputa and Michael of the White Lion Knights have been training harder than ever during this winter and had made great progress. And since they had also gotten help from Kang Chul-In personally visiting them and teaching them, they had improved by leaps and bounds.
And these two had gotten injured. It meant that Pluto who was controlled by Kaiforce was extremely dangerous.
“Yes, Milord.”
Timothy nodded his head.
“Oh, and also I think it would be right to reward General Drakan.”
“Drakan? What about him.”
“If not for the fact that General Drakan was also coincidentally nearby, they say that the casualties would have been worse.”
“We can talk about that after this case is over. So what about now? Is he still rampaging around the territory?”
“No, sire.”
“Then what’s happening?”
“Currently, General Drakan, Sir Podolski, and Sir Nilus along with the White Lion knights have made a group that are currently chasing down the devil.”
“Where is he?”
Kang Chul-In decided to go on this chase himself.
“They say that the man has ran off to the west, but it’s already been 3 hours since they started the chase, so…”
“Alright.”
Nodding his head, Kang Chul-In rode on top of the Altaica.
-Krrr….
And as if showing it was ready, the Altaica roared happily.
“Always focus on saving the people that are wounded. Never forget to tell them that they should be kept alive at all costs. And also, make a detailed report on this case, and make sure to treat the injured well. I don’t want them to feel angry because I'm making them work so long and not being responsible towards them.”
“Yes, Milord.”
“Alright. Kitty, let’s go.”
Pulling on the ears of the Altaica, Kang Chul-In got ready.
“Milord… you’re going to go help the chase?”
“Of course. This is my job. While I was absent from the office, this occurred. I’ll have to see this through ‘til the end.”
Kang Chul-In didn’t want to dodge this responsibility.
It was definitely his fault for underestimating Kaiforce. Though it was a ‘scrap piece of metal’ for him, he knew that it was still a terrifying thing for others.
That stupid piece of junk… How dare you hurt my citizens!
Kang Chul-In ground his teeth in anger.
If he couldn’t put him inside the furnace?
Then he could throw it into the deep sea, where deep-sea beings like the Leviathan race lived. He was going to make sure to never let that stupid bastard see the light of the sun again.
“Let’s go!”
Pulling on the Altaica’s ear once more…
-Krrr!
The Altaica dashed outside like lightning.
Bang!
Though the problem was that once again, they had broken the window.
“...It seems that Milord thinks that this window is some sort of escape route.”
“Sigh. Exactly… I don’t think he knows how much repairing the window costs every month.”
Timothy shook his head.
-------------
Long story short, Kang Chul-In was unable to catch Kaiforce.
It was impossible now.
Though Kang Chul-In atop the Altaica chased at ferocious speeds, Kaiforce and Pluto were long gone, out of their reach.
“This rat-like bastard…!”
It was a problem that they had returned too late.
If Kang Chul-In was inside the territory when this incident happened he would have let Kaiforce taste hell, but… since they had run off after Kang Chul-In had returned, there was nothing he could do.
