Chapters Chapter 286: Kang Chul-In, the One-Man Army! (3) (2/2)
Thump, thump! Kang Chul-In made his appearance.
“Whoever wants to live and become my subordinate, stand behind me.”
Kang Chul-In declared.
“K-Kang Chul-In?”
“T-The Supreme King of the West?”
“Is it really that Kang Chul-In?”
Everyone was surprised.
“Let me reiterate.”
Kang Chul-In did not falter.
“I’m not entertaining any questions. Whoever wants to live and become my subordinate, stand behind me.”
A one-way announcement. That was indeed Kang Chul-In’s style.
“Argh, f.u.c.k it!”
Dopinder was the first one to move.
“M-Me too!”
“Let me survive first!”
“Let’s follow the correct leader!”
Dopinder’s comrades also queued up immediately behind Kang Chul-In.
“Oi.”
Kang Chul-In walked towards the officer.
“Y-Yes?”
“You seem to treat human lives like dirt, huh?”
“T-That’s not it… these mere soldiers… kuhuk!”
The officer was split in half vertically.
Pssssst! A tremendous amount of blood spurted out.
Thump! The corpse, now in two pieces, collapsed onto the floor.
“To me, you are a mere officer, too. It’s fair now, so just die.”
Kang Chul-In lashed out coldly at the dead officer. From a different perspective, the officer was one of the expendables as well.
“And you bastards...”
Kang Chul-In growled at his opponents.
“If you want to die...”
Immediately,
“W-We surrender!”
“M-Mercy!”
“I’ve looked up to you since before!”
“We wish to be your soldiers, your Majesty!”
Thump!
Thump, thump, thump!
One by one, the Shatyameba soldiers began to kneel down in front of Kang Chul-In.
W-What the hell?!
Kang Chul-In was astonished for a moment. There were too many soldiers. Over 2,000 Shatyameba soldiers had surrendered. That was practically everyone who had reached the inner castle.
“Your Majesty! We wish to be people of the Valhalla Kingdom!”
“Please accept us!”
“We pledge our loyalty to you!”
“I love you!”
“Long live the Supreme King of the West!”
“Long live the Valhalla Kingdom!”
It was a weird sight to behold during a war.
What even...
Kang Chul-In was flabbergasted, but there was a reason for this phenomenon. The Shatyameba people were neither blind nor deaf. Which country had the best welfare system in Pangaea? Which country treated its soldiers the best in Pangaea? Which country was the strongest in Pangaea? Which country did the people of Pangaea wish to live in the most?
There was only one answer. The Valhalla Kingdom!
Kang Chul-In might be notorious as a devilish conqueror, but everyone in Pangaea knew that the quality of life in Valhalla was extremely high. Thus, the Shatyameba soldiers were taking this opportunity to surrender and improve their lives, rather than dying a dog’s death!
“Hmm!”
Kang Chul-In stroked his chin once.
“Alright! I will take you all in!”
He accepted their submission. Why not? Even the ignorant Kang Chul-In knew that a larger population led to greater national power. There was no reason for him to reject them.
“We pledge loyalty to you, your Majesty!”
Dopinder swiftly stepped forward.
“Now, everyone, let’s salute His Majesty Kang Chul-In! Salute!”
Almost immediately, the Shatyameba soldiers, who were now Valhalla soldiers, released a thundering roar.
“Salute!”
It was a wise move. Kang Chul-In, the Supreme King of the West… the devilish tyrant who had once brought blood and fear into Pangaea, was now winning his enemy over with his virtue!

“Commander-in-chief!”
The signaller was anxious. He had to relay this information quickly. Why? The opponent at the arch-shaped passage was none other than ‘that’ man!
“Emergency!”
“Calm down first before you report.”
Lee Ji-Tae was composed.
He was not a man to be startled by any situation...
“The opponent… it turned out to be the Supreme King of the West!”
“W-What?!”
…Or not. How could he not be shocked, knowing that the opponent was Kang Chul-In?
Bang! Lee Ji-Tae slammed his fist down on the table.
Crack crack!
The metal table shattered into tiny pieces.
“Kang Chul-In… that Kang Chul-In?”
“Yes, commander-in-chief!”
The signaller replied.
“Moreover...”
“...”
“2000 soldiers surrendered immediately after knowing his identity...”
“...”
“On top of that, they even pledged loyalty on the spot!”
Brrrrr!
Lee Ji-Tae’s body trembled.
Kang Chul-In… you bastard… why are you here… in this rural area…? Why!?
Lee Ji-Tae was about to hit the roof. He who had already lost Rothschild could not even bear to hear the ‘k” of Kang Chul-In. That wasn’t all. He went to bed every day with the delightful thought of mutilating Kang Chul-In. In other words, his hatred for Kang Chul-In was absolutely phenomenal!
“Alright, Kang Chul-In...”
Lee Ji-Tae grinned with murderous intent.
“Let me make this place your grave… I shall hold a party for you. Ke, kekeke!”
Lee Ji-Tae cackled as if he was demented. He then shouted across the room.
“Signaller!”
“Yes, commander-in-chief!”
“Make a call to the Gullveig Alliance, immediately!”
It was a wise move. If he couldn’t combat Kang Chul-In alone, why wouldn’t he gather other people to do so? Moreover, this prey called Kang Chul-In just so happened to be a troublemaker who had many enemies.
All Lee Ji-Tae had to do was slip a note that Kang Chul-In was here, and then wait for the others to hunt him down!
