Chapters Chapter 153: The Turning Tides, Time Running Out (pt 1) (2/2)

Hmph. What promise.

But the envoy was making a big mistake.

The opinions of the onlookers?

Kang Chul-In had just gone and trampled over two territories without even declaring war on them. At this point, he didn’t care what others thought of him.

Wasn’t this a good opportunity?

If Sheville Polansky trusted Kang Chul-In, it would be even easier for him to betray Polansky at the last moment.

“Wait, and I will bring you the treaty. I will move my army immediately in order to help your Lord.”

“Thank you so much, Overlord Kang Chul-In.”

The envoy bowed, showing his gratitude.

Of course, neither Sheville Polansky nor the envoy knew what kind of consequences would follow after allying with Kang Chul-In.

---------

“Milord, we need to make sure before we do this. Isn’t it possible that Polansky is actually secretly allying with Baruk Al-Yusuf in order to f*ck us over?”

“Of course, that makes sense too.”

Kang Chul-In agreed with what Kwak-Jung said.

“Milord, please use our satellites in order to check. Using them, wouldn’t it be possible to check whether Baruk Al-Yusuf’s army is really moving or not?”

“Fine.”

A little time passed, and Kang Chul-In finished scouting the Bittermoon area.

And,

“Kwak-Jung.”

Kang Chul-In spoke with a stiff voice.

“Yes, Milord?”

“Get ready to head out. We will be heading north immediately.”

“Sorry?”

“Look at this.”

Whilst Kang Chul-In and the envoy had been chatting, Baruk Al-Yusuf had lead his troops and completely surrounded the Bittermoon territory.

“T-This…”

Kwak-Jung was startled.

“This isn’t a trap for us.”

“T-That’s right, Milord. This is a formation for war…”

“We need to go, right now!”

“Y-Yes, Milord.”

That was right.

Sheville Polansky was about to get taken over by Baruk Al-Yusuf at any moment.

“Milord!”

At that moment.

“The Illusion Network, it’s back up again!”

And,

Ring! Ring!

As soon as the report came in, a request for a video call came.

“Milord! A request for a video call has come from Sheville Polansky, lord of the Bittermoon territory!”

“Fine. Accept it.”

“Yes, Milord.”

As soon as Kang Chul-In said this, a faint screen formed in front of him, allowing him to see a hologram of Sheville Polansky.

-O-Overlord Kang Chul-In!

Polansky shouted urgently.

-Q-Quickly, we need reinforcements! Baruk Al-Yusuf’s army is right in front of us! If you don’t come right now... Please!

“Wait a little bit, I’ll go immediately.”

Kang Chul-In said.

Of course, he was raging inside.

Even though he wanted to rip that disgusting child-murderer’s body into pieces immediately, he had to be patient. For the sake of Arsrhelly.

-R-Really?

“I will go and crush Baruk Al-Yusuf’s army. Just wait.”

-H-How long will it take? Baruk Al-Yusuf’s army isn’t even 50 kilometres away from…

“A day.”

Kang Chul-In cut off Sheville Polansky’s words.

“I will move the army immediately. Try to hold your position for a day, and I will save you. Well, I’m off now.”

-Then I will wait for you! Overlord Kang Chul-In!

Ding!

As soon as the call finished, Kang Chul-In looked towards the people watching.

“I’m sure you heard that.”

Kang Chul-In’s voice was heavy.

“To be completely honest, that’s a stretch.”

He was right.

They had just conquered 2 territories, and the soldiers were exhausted. There was no way that they could get to the Bittermoon territory in just a day.

“There will be no reinforcements.”

Of course, what he had told Polansky was a lie.

“Strategist Kwak-Jung will command our troops, and make it so that we have a defensive line against Baruk Al-Yusuf. And…”

Kang Chul-In’s eyes started to gleam.

“I will… go save Arshelly myself.”
