The Overlord of Blood and Iron

Chapter 91






Editor: Arya


Chapter 91 . Franz, swearing revenge .


“M-M-Monster…”


‘I… I picked the wrong person to mess with…’


Looking at Kang Chul-In, who had just shattered a boulder with his bare hands, Franz realized that he had messed with the wrong person here .


And as he thought that…


“Milord! Quick! Get back inside the hall!”


Schneider, the leader of the Mecha Knights in the dome, spoke .


“Quickly, sire! Come inside!”


And helping Franz over, the Mecha Knights and Franz went past the dome’s sturdy, iron gates .


BANG!


And after Franz, and the Atlases came back in, the gates started closing, and the Mecha Dome started disappearing, going back underground .


“Hmm… a magical fortress that is good for magic engineering and guerilla warfare, huh . Interesting . ”


Franz had made a mistake .


The Atlases were the only saving grace of the Mecha Dome, as they were limited with the small amount of people and resources that they had .


And using the Atlases to fight against Kang Chul-In? That was a crucial mistake .



‘I will kill you, and take away all of your magical engineers . ’


Whether it was an Pangaea or Earth, good technology and science was a must . And the Lords that possessed the skilled magical engineers were the ones that could build and/or upgrade artillery that helped immensely during war .


“Let’s head back to our territory . ”


Kang Chul-In turned his back, after staring at the now-underground Mecha Dome for a long while .


“We’ll go back to the Burrow Lands, and prepare special forces that can deal with those stupid Atlases that they posess . ”


There were many ways to fight against or around an Atlas, even without going for the joints .


“Yes, milord . ”


Lucia followed behind Kang Chul-In .


“Umm… Can I ask you just one thing?”


“Of course . ”


“My weapon . ”


Maybe it was Kang Chul-In’s imagination, but he thought Lucia sounded quite depressed .


“…Was it a precious one?”


Kang Chul-In spoke, looking over the horizon .


“Zenith… is a Soul Weapon . Along with Aegis over here, it grows with me as I get stronger . ”


Kang Chul-In had borrowed a sword because he didn’t want to throw away Kaiforce, but it seemed like that sword held significant importance to Lucia .


“Cough, cough . ”


Kang Chul-In could do nothing but cough in embarrassment .


“Of course, I completely believe in milord’s words . I also believe that milord will be able to take that stupid, cheeky Lord’s head within a month . But… the only worry that I have is whether or not that Lord will throw away Zenith into a furnace and melt it, or break it . ”


Listening to Lucia’s voice that was full of worry, Kang Chul-In felt his conscience being hurt .


“… I’m sorry . I promise that I’ll give it back to you within a month . Of course… if that bastard destroys the sword, I can’t do anything either . I’ll find you a better sword if that happens . ”


“No, sire . It’s okay . But… I have a request . ”


“Request? Speak . ”


“Uhh… Well, the princess…”


“Arshelly?”


“Yes, milord . ”


Lucia spoke without directly looking at Kang Chul-In .


“She has said that she wanted to visit your hometown . ”


“…Did she?”


And Kang Chul-In’s face stiffened in anxiety .


“And… I thought that I too would like it if I had the opportunity to go . This is my request… Will you let me, and the princess go to your hometown?”


It was a request that was hard for him .


“It… It’s not a difficult request, but…”


“For someone of Pangaean birth to go to Earth, they need a rainbow colored ‘Recall Stone’…”


“That’s fine, sire! That useless wom… I mean, the Lord of the Dorado territory has given us some, as compensation for us helping them last time . ”


“Oh, and also . Princess Arshelly has said that she also wants to go to a school, or an academy back in your hometown, sir . ”


School?


‘Dammit . ’


Although Kang Chul-In had nothing that he was jealous of, and was a greatly accomplished man, becoming a parent of Arshelly for when she went to school even though he was still unmarried?


“About that… we’ll decide later . ”


“Then what about visiting…”


“That’s fine . ”


Kang Chul-In said .


There was no reason for him not to bring his secretary, as well as his adopted daughter and show him around Earth .


But allowing her to stay there, and study, was a completely different matter . Kang Chul-In felt that that he would rather fight 10, no, in 100 battlefields if he didn’t need to do that .


“But about her going to school there… Hmm… I’ll need to give it some more thought . ”

Meanwhile, as Lucia and Kang Chul-In were talking about their future plans, the Magic Engineers of the Mecha Dome territory were working hard, repairing the 3 Atlases that had been damaged and broken by Kang Chul-In .


“Dammit… Dammit! That bastard! That rotten bastard!”


Franz stared at the working engineers, and cursed Kang Chul-In .


“Who’s in charge here… Director . ”


The engineers stiffened, as they heard Franz’s angry tone that seemed to make him look like he was growling at them .


“Yes…milord…”


Bashular, the leader of the Engineers, answered, his head down .


“The enemy took down two Atlases before we could even turn on the boosters . Do you know what this means?”


“N-No, sir . ”


“He found the weakness of the Atlases, and stabbed a ‘claw-like’ thing inside, making it explode . Bashular . I want to take revenge on him . Is there any method? To protect the Atlases from being exploded like that again, and to beat that man?”


Saying this, Franz’s eyes were filled with madness . It was an obsession for him to beat Kang Chul-In .


“Well… the best, surefire way to do that… is to cover up the joints with not just steel, but with a harder, more durable substance . ”


“Well, do that, then . ”


Franz commanded .


“But… if we want to do that, the cost won’t be small . If the opponent is skilled enough to take down an Atlas with their bare body, then it won’t be cheap to find a metal that can stand up against him . ”


“Still, do it . ”


Franz didn’t care . All he cared about was his revenge against Kang Chul-In .


Although it was a completely inefficient and foolish choice, Franz didn’t care .


“It doesn’t matter how much resources are used to fund this project . Use up all of the funds in the territory to fund this project, and for the two remaining Magic Gems…”


Franz laughed maniacally .


“… Put them into one Atlas! HAHA!”


He was prepared to make a secret weapon that could defeat Kang Chul-In .
