The Overlord of Blood and Iron

“It’s been a while, Overlord Albrecht Vilhelm . ”

Kang Chul-In laughed, smiling at his former enemy .

To be completely honest, Albrecht Vilhelm was a hundred times more dangerous and resourceful than Alex Rothschild .

Rothschild was someone who lived off of his family’s ridiculous amount of money and the help of Lee Gong-Myung’s strategies .

Snake-like bastard…

But Albrecht Vilhelm was different .

Internal affairs, money, and strategy . He was good at all of it .

“I’ve received your present well . ”

Kang Chul-In said, smirking .

“It was truly a good one . ”

-I never gave you a present though… Oh, if you’re talking about the specialty of our territory that we sent this time…

“Seoul . ”

Kang Chul-In interrupted .

“That was you . ”

-No, it wasn’t .

“Are you really going to deny it, even when there’s so much evidence?”

-Of course not .

Albrecht Vilhelm’s expression didn’t change at all .

-I think you’re misunderstanding something, Overlord Kang Chul-In .

“Is that so?”

-Of course . Why would I touch the 1st ranked Overlord? What’s good will happen for me if that happens?

“Hmm…?”

-And if I were behind it, why would I send an envoy over to you? Minerva is the best, most trusted diplomat I have .

Even though Kang Chul-In nearly went speechless, he didn’t show his anger .

“Is that so…? But…”

- . . . ?

“How are you going to explain monsters that appeared in Seoul that are natives of your territory?”

- . . . !

“Or will you stop denying it if I write up a list of the monsters and send it to you?”

At these words, Albrecht Vilhelm’s face stiffened .

My god… I knew I would get caught, but this quick?

He tried to deny it .

-Overlord Kang Chul-In, it really wasn’t me .

“Then?”

-It seems like we’ve been played by Alex Rothschild’s words .

Albrecht Vilhelm gave out an excuse that Kang Chul-In had already expected would come out .

“Still denying it, huh?”

-That’s right . A few months ago, I got an offer from Alex Rothschild where I lent him some dungeons so that he could level up . I would give him places to fight in return for money . I…

“Stop with that bullshit, you crazy bastard . ”

- . . . !

“Who do you think you’re lying to?”

Kang Chul-In swore .

-O… On what basis are you…

“Are you joking around with me?”

- . . .

“You’re saying that you lent him dungeons so that he can level up while you were having a dogfight with him over the Esmerelda territory?”

- . . .

“And…”

Kang Chul-In continued, remembering what happened in the past .

“How are you going to explain supporting Aleister, then? Your second wife, Fei Mei, is Ao Xin’s little sister, right? The two of you, I bet you allied due to that marriage . ”

-How does that have to do with…

“Of course it has to do with it, you bastard . ”

Kang Chul-In growled .

“I heard that Ao Xin gave 10,000 soldiers over to Aleister’s territory under the name of Alex Rothschild . You think I didn’t know that?”

- . . . !

“Stop pretending even when you know everything . You were trying to block my way by using Alex Rothschild and Lee Gong-Myung . You also tried to use Overlord Ao Xin’s troops that were given to Aleister to prevent me from expanding east . ”

-Kuhuk…

“Even while fighting against Alex Rothschild, you were scared of me . And that was the same for Alex Rothschild . ”

At this point, it was difficult for Albrecht Vilhelm to continue and deny .

How… did he plant a spy or something?

Even though it made sense that Kang Chul-In could have heard of the fight over the Esmerelda territory through the news, that wasn’t the case for the other things .

Where the monsters were from .

His marriage with Fei Mei, Ao Xin’s little sister .

Helping Aleister .

As if I wouldn’t know .

Looking at Vilhelm who was visibly taken aback, Kang Chul-In laughed .

“Well, here’s my response to your present . ”

-Response…?

“I sent you a present . ”

At that moment, Albrecht Vilhelm’s Bifrost territory received a box .

-What is this? Don’t tell me it’s a bomb…

“As if . What, are you scared or something? I mean… I guess if you’re scared…”

-I’ll open it .

Angered by Kang Chul-In’s taunting, Vilhelm opened the box .

- . . . !

He was shocked .

-M… Minerva!

Because inside the box… was Minerva’s head .

----------

Dragonia Mountain range, otherwise known as the Himalayas of Pangaea .

At the highest peak, a black dragon was resting .

-Krrr…!

The dragon angrily breathed out flames, burning one side of the lair .

-What bastard…

The dragon had already been angry for a couple of months .

It was because some damned bastard had broken off the top of its lair, and ran away .

-Hu… since I’m awake anyway… Pinefly, on!

Feeling that it was almost fully awake and its body capabilities were at least at 90%, the black dragon turned the system of the cave on .

-Pinefly, ON!

A screen popped up in front of the dragon .

[Master, you’ve awoken . ]

-How long was I asleep for?

[The time master has been asleep for is… 1001 years, 9 months, 21 days, 13 hours, 48 minutes and 3 seconds . ]

-So, do you have the recorded screen for who or what hit the ceiling?

[There are 291,234 cases . ]

As expected of the system, it had recorded everything that gave the lair even the tiniest bit of damage .

-Play the files . The one that made the rock fall on us .

[That’s impossible . ]

-What?

[Due to an error, that file cannot be played . ]

-Why not?

[Due to a thousand years passing, the system has become weaker . In order to watch that specific video, there is a need to take a look at each file…]

-Then show me the latest…

[The order has been messed up for the recorded videos . ]

-So… I have to look through 291,234 videos in order to see who did that? All of them?

[Yes, but if your luck is good, then the first video might…]

-Shut up, you useless system .

But the black dragon didn’t give up .

-Whatever… I’ll start today .

It was as expected for the black dragon, which was famed to have the worst and most violent personality out of all dragons .

-Then, what should I do with the remaining time?

The black dragon wondered .

[Why not go out and have some fun?]

The Pinefly system said .

-Hmm… that doesn’t sound bad .

The dragon nodded .

It wasn’t a bad idea to travel around the Pangaea continent since it had woken up anyway . After all, it could go through the videos whenever it was free .

-Fine, I’ll do that then .

Saying that, the black dragon, or more accurately Desdemona’s, body started to turn brighter .

It was the sign that it was going to polymorph .
