Chapters Chapter 283: The Girl’s SOS (2) (2/2)
“In other words, to prevent Atal Ramanujan from becoming the third superpower...”
“I have to help this kid anyway, is that what you’re saying?”
“Yes.”
It was killing two birds with one stone.
If Kang Chul-In wished for a Valhalla vs Gullveig Alliance situation, he had to eliminate the risk factor called Atal Ramanujan.
“The problem is...”
“It’s too far?”
“Yes, it’s just too far. From the west of Ishtar to the south of Baldur… it’s honestly difficult.”
“Hmm...”
“It’s not feasible to send a large army across that distance. The supply route will also be extremely long, hence it’s impossible to drag the battle for more than a week. Hence, what I’m suggesting is...”
“To send a small group of elite soldiers?”
“Keh! Your Majesty, you are quite a tactician yourself!”
“This is nothing. You are more amazing.”
“Not at all. My brain works well thanks to your trust in my work!”
“Hahahahaha~!”
“Hehehe~!”
The king and his subject were scratching each other’s back.
“Alright, how long do you think the kid can hold?”
“About a week or so.”
“Can we make it by then?”
“If we use Zeppelin and the warp gate, then it’s possible.”
“Good.”
Kang Chul-In nodded.
“Gather a group of elite mercenaries and send them to the kid’s territory.”
“What about yourself, Your Majesty?”
“I...”
Kang Chul-In replied.
“I will be there first.”
He had to be there in case the Amplifier Talisman went missing.
“Ah, Your Majesty.”
Kwak Jung added.
“What is it?”
“Kwak Jun, that bastard, got promoted to Vilhelm’s senior advisor.”
“Hmm! That means...”
“Yes, many things will change depending on how we handle that bastard.”
“Can you do it?”
“Leave it to me!”
Confidence maketh a man.
Kwak Jung replied with a grin.
“Keh… good, very good.”
Kang Chul-In nodded in satisfaction.
“That’s my tactician.”
“Hehehe~!”
“Hahahaha~!”
They were scratching each other’s back once again.

“I, the ruler of Bifrost...”
Vilhelm spoke.
“I, Overlord Albrecht Vilhelm...”
He was holding Gjallahorn, the broad sword that was the Soul Core of Bifrost.
“From this moment onwards, I hereby appoint Kwak Jun, the commander-in-chief of Paramount and the tactician of Lord Vito Clemenza, as the senior advisor of Bifrost.”
“I am eternally grateful, Your Majesty!”
Kwak Jun kneeled on one knee and bowed.
“In addition, I...”
Vilhelm was about to continue his speech when...
Flash!
The warp gate in the middle of the Lord’s hall emitted a brilliant beam of light.
“Your Majesty.”
Someone emerged from the warp gate.
It was a knight in a pristine white armor, which covered him from head to toe. He kneeled down in front of Vilhelm.
“Brynhildr…!”
Vilhelm couldn’t be more delighted.
***
In front of the Zolushka castle...
“Long live His Majesty Ramanujan!”
“Long live Shatyameba!”
“Long live commander-in-chief Lee Ji-Tae!”
High in spirits, the Shatyameba soldiers rampaged through the battlefield as they cheered for their leaders.
“Argh!”
“Arghhhhh!”
“M-Mercy… Kuhul!”
The soldiers of Zolushka fell helplessly to the Shatyameba soldiers. The reason for their defeat was simple. The Shatyameba soldiers were moving in unprecedented patterns, catching the Zolushka soldiers off-guard. It was truly a remarkable display of tactics.
“O-Oh no…!”
Lily Sephardi couldn’t believe her defeat.
In fact, it was a total defeat.
She had thought of enduring until Kang Chul-In’s reinforcements came, but that might not be possible.
The Shatyameba soldiers reached the castle front in just three days, and they penetrated the castle walls in just two days. Lily only had a small castle wall left, located between the inner and outer castle.
“Y-your Majesty! You have to escape!”
Rooibos persuaded Lily.
“Any further delay and you will be hurt!”
“B-But!”
“The inner castle will fall soon. Your Majesty, you need to remain safe no matter what!”
He was right. Zolushka had technically fallen. It was only a matter of time before the Shatyameba soldiers infiltrated the Lord’s hall.
Bam!
Suddenly, the Lord’s hall’s door shattered into pieces.
“Still here, huh?”
Ahinandi, a general of Shatyameba, looked at Lily. He had thousands of soldiers marching behind him.
“I… I...”
Lily clenched her teeth.
“I… will never run!”
That was the girl’s will. Instead of abandoning her territory, she had chosen to fight to the end.
“Y-your Majesty!”
Rooibos, her secretary, went pale.
“Rooibos, I will fight!”
“...!”
“I can’t just run away! Even if I die here, I will never abandon this territory!”
She was a young girl, but she had the courage of a lion.
Clap, clap, clap!
At that moment, someone gave her a round of applause.
“W-Who is it?”
“Doesn’t ring a bell.”
“An ally?”
“Who is that bastard?”
The Shatyameba soldiers mumbled in puzzlement.
“Get lost.”
The man then pushed the soldiers aside and stepped into the Lord’s hall.
