Chapters Chapter 162: Breakthrough (pt. 4) (1/2)
“Strategist Kwak?”
Drakan stared at Kwak-Jung, still startled by his sudden appearance.
“Even though it’s nice that you brought reinforcement, you were given orders to make a defensive line in order to…”
“Geez!”
Kwak-Jung cut off Drakan’s words and raged.
“...!”
“Come on! If I tell you to do something, just do it! Okay?”
“...Hm?”
“What position do I have? I’m the strategist!”
“W-Well…”
“If I tell you to do something, just do it already! Why am I the strategist? It’s because Milord trusts me to make decisions, am I wrong?”
Kwak-Jung was a little bit angry right now.
Even though Kang Chul-In somewhat came to trust him, the other officials of Laputa still didn’t fully trust him.
Not only was Kwak-Jung formerly a gangster, but his happy-go-lucky behavior also didn’t fit in well with the other serious subordinates' personalities.
Hmph! I know, but…
This time, it’s different!
Even though he might be unsure at any other time, he was very confident right now.
“General Drakan.”
“Yes?”
“You know what this is even if I don’t show you…”
Kwak-Jung pointed at his waist, where the Soul Core of Laputa was.
This meant that currently, Kwak-jung had the highest authority and position among all of the soldiers and officers.
“Kuhum…”
Drakan coughed.
Although he wasn’t satisfied with what Kwak-Jung was saying, he couldn’t speak his thoughts all willy-nilly towards someone with a higher position.
“God, dammit!”
Kwak-Jung raged again at Drakan’s half-hearted behavior.
“Commander of Laputa, General Drakan. Hear my words.”
He decided to use the tactic he did against James, which was to put forward his position.
“As the temporary leader of Laputa, I order you---”
“...!”
“Go right now, and fight against the enemies that are coming. I will not listen to disagreements. I will punish you by execution if you don’t follow these orders.”
Drakan, hearing this,
“Subordinate Drakan will follow your orders!”
Kneeled down on one knee, and swore to follow Kwak-Jung’s orders.
“Hmph.”
Kwak-Jung was aware that Drakan wasn’t following his orders, but rather the man that Kang Chul-In had temporarily put in charge.
“Well, who cares? As long as we win, it doesn’t matter.”
After Kwak-Jung complained to himself,
“Go, Drakan! I choose you!”
He pushed Drakan forward to the front lines, to fight along with Lucia.
What…? Why do I feel annoyed all of a sudden….
For an instant Drakan got annoyed, but calmed himself down and prepared for battle against the Anatolian soldiers.

Coincidentally taking 20 million dollars as spoils of war, Kang Chul-In rode atop the Altaica, and immediately dashed towards the Bittermoon territory’s castle walls.
He didn’t worry about the Spectre Knights.
After a certain point in time, or if they took too much damage, they would transform into black currents before being sucked back into the item he wore.
Daughter….!
Instead, Kang Chul-In focused on Arshelly who was on his back.
Endure for a little while longer.
Although Kang Chul-In wanted to make Arshelly lie down and rest, they were in the middle of a battlefield. It was impossible to have such leisure when the enemies were hot on his trail.
He had no time to even stop and drink a potion.
-Allahu Akbar!
Whenever he felt like he would have a chance to catch his breath, the suicide bombers would get dangerously close.
These god-damned bastards…
Kang Chul-In gritted his teeth.
I will erase you from the map one day.
Even though he was alone this time, next time would be different. As long as he was able to firmly plant his roots in the Ishtar region, it wouldn’t be too difficult to destroy their territory.
An escape route…
After managing to jump on the castle walls, Kang Chul-In looked for a suitable escape route.
