Chapters Chapter 211: Good News Incoming (2/2)
“Good.” Kang Chul-In showed a satisfied expression.
“They are soldiers who fought for their nation. Their loyalty and patriotism should be honored to the highest degree. Moreover, we can’t let our soldiers fight against their former comrades who have turned into undead monsters. That is just tragedy.”
“Wise words indeed, your Majesty!” Podolski bowed his head and venerated Kang Chul-In.
“Wise words, your Majesty!”
Everyone agreed to Podolski.
“That aside…”
Kang Chul-In was about to say something.
“Your Majesty!”
It was at that very moment.
“A message has arrived from Laputa’s main base!”
The signaller shouted.
“…!”
Exciting news.
It was getting slightly worrisome, as they could not establish a connection with the main base for four whole days.
Hence, the restoration in communication was delightful, even for Kang Chul-In.
“A message?”
“Yes, your Majesty!”
“Any chance of corruption by the enemy?”
“The codes match 100%.”
“Alright, let’s take a look.” Kang Chul-In rose from his chair and received two pieces of parchment.
The message was as follows:
Addressed to the ruler of the Great Laputa, the sun to all people, an honorable soldier, the mighty Conquest Overlord, his Majesty Kang Chun-In.
Your Majesty!
It’s Mikael, your humble servant.
First, I will report the current situation!
“Hmm…” Kang Chul-In nodded his head.
Mikael knew his style well, going straight to the point instead of giving trivial explanations. To any Overlord, such a subordinate was extremely praiseworthy.
The enemy troops that dared to invade Laputa have all been annihilated!
“O-hoh!” Kang Chul-In smiled at this fantastic news.
The situation has been handled!
50 Cyamodus adventurers, 3 generals and 500 soldiers were either killed or captured!
In addition, we managed to acquire the enemy’s airship! It’s an extremely old model so I doubt it’s useful, but it is still a formidable achievement!
Great results, but the damage was still there.
Unfortunately, 189 of our soldiers have fallen in their line of duty, and the architectural director Kimura suffered light injuries.
Other than that, 561 people were wounded. The damage is not trivial, but the essential manpower of Laputa thankfully remained safe.
“How dare they….” Kang Chul-In gritted his teeth.
Regardless of the damage, he was furious due to the fact that Laputa’s main base got attacked when he wasn’t around.
But, your Majesty,
The bad news only had a brief mention.
The rest of the message was filled with good news.
The enemy’s damage was much greater.
I, your humble servant, defeated Orteus of Cyamodus, and the white knights managed to cut down Godfrey and capture Smith alive!
The Spear Master, Orteus.
The Dark Magician, Godfrey.
And Smith, who would claim the title of Sword Master in the future.
These three were faithful subordinates of Rothschild, and also great generals who made countless accomplishments during the Ragnarök in the past.
To have captured or killed them...
Kang Chul-In couldn’t be happier.
And… Please maintain your composure, your Majesty!
The Imperial Princess has done it big time!
She revealed her powers and destroyed four of Alex Rothschild’s clones! Isn’t that just wonderful?
“…!” Kang Chul-In was taken aback.
Arshelly’s accomplishments aside, to have destroyed four whole clones was extremely formidable.
You went all out huh, Rothschild?
Kang Chul-In scoffed at Rothschild inwardly.
Not only did he attack Laputa when it was empty, but he also sent four of his clones. It was indeed true that Rothschild was desperately hoping for Laputa to perish.
“Check overall rank.” Kang Chul-In immediately ordered.
Five thousand gold was needed to check the ranks. However, that sum was trivial after reading that Rothschild had lost four clones.
-Rank 44th. Alex Rothschild (-33)
A clear fall in ranks.
A year ago, Rothschild was placed out of the top 100 ranks when one of his clones got destroyed. Compared to that, this drop was smaller than expected but still significant enough.
“Hahahahahaha!” Kang Chul-In laughed like a mad man.
“…!” The officers were surprised, but they weren’t anxious.
They knew that he was laughing crazily to some good news.
Your Majesty, the Imperial Princess was really formidable, just like you.
I wish to report further, but the communication device is not fully repaired yet so forgive me for ending my message here. Sending this message gave us a lot of trouble as well.
P.S. For video-calling to resume with the current state of the network communication device, at least 1 week is required. We will try our best to repair it as soon as possible.
P.S.S. The queen of demi-humans, Ninetails, has visited Laputa with a thousand demi-humans, and an incredible amount of treasure and supplies.
“…Damn.”
The last portion of the report caused Kang Chul-In’s face to stiffen.
By the way, your Majesty,
Queen Ninetails has been referring to you as her ‘hubby’.
I sincerely hope to see your explanation to this in your reply.
From your Majesty’s faithful servant,
The governor of Balnibarbi,
The leader of the White Lion Knights
Mikael
“Huuuuu.” Kang Chul-In let out a long sigh.
He was placed in a tricky situation.
The day had finally come.
“…” Kang Chul-In didn’t move an inch after reading the last portion of Mikael’s report.
Chuaakk!
He then proceeded to tear the parchment into two.
