Overlord of Blood and Iron

“...!”

The North Korean soldiers were flabbergasted. What was that gigantic building? The reddish-brown castle was about twenty times the size of a domed stadium. It had an overwhelming splendor that made everyone gasp in awe.

The building that Kang Chul-In had summoned was the largest and the most grandiose building in Pangaea. It was none other than Laputa, the Sky Fortress, also known as the landmark of Metallia, the Valhalla Empire’s capital!

Flash! There was another flash of light. An airship as large as an aircraft carrier revealed itself. It was Overlord Hecate’s Temeraire.

Flash, flash, flash, flash! The flash of lights were relentless. A huge stingray with a castle on its back, a ghost ship made of ectoplasm, a gigantic whale that could swim across the sky... various fantasy-like infrastructures appeared and floated in the sky. They were buildings that belonged to both the existing Lords and Erinyes.

Why were they summoned to Earth by Kang Chul-In? It was because Kang Chul-In was the true emperor of Pangaea – the one who ruled over all!

Flash! With a final flash, ‘they’ arrived on Earth-- over one million soldiers. Comprising 700,000 humans and 300,000 non-humans, the Valhalla imperial army made its appearance.

“Go.” Kang Chul-In commanded. “Kill them all.”

Immediately,

“Long live the Valhalla Empire!”

“Hooray!”

“Long live his imperial Majesty, Kang Chul-In!”

“Hooray!”

Over a million soldiers charged viciously at the ancient Agnaga army. The tables turned in a blink of an eye. The ancient Agnaga soldiers were nothing but livestock to the Valhalla imperial army.

Every soldier in Kang Chul-In’s army was equipped with artifacts of at least the ‘rare’ rank. Furthermore, the Valhalla magicians were highly proficient as well.

Barrier? The barrier that could fend off all weapons on Earth was no better than a piece of paper from the magicians’ perspective.

Overwhelming physical ability? Although the Agnaga soldiers were immensely strong, they could not dominate the Valhalla soldiers who managed mana to break through human limits.

Good.

Kang Chul-In gave a satisfied expression. The ancient Agnaga army? It was nothing against Kang Chul-In and his army.

A thousand years ago, the Emperor of Blood and Iron and Emilia had collected information about these alien monsters and developed various methods for subjugating them. Of course, the Agnagas of the past were totally foreign to both of them. The two of them had to bear through countless trial and error, as well as sacrifice.

This was hardly the case for Kang Chul-In. He already knew of the ways to fight the Agnagas, thanks for his predecessor. The result was apparent. Hundreds of Agnaga soldiers were dying every second. The ancient Agnagas might have indiscriminately massacred humans in the past, but it was the opposite now.

Kang Chul-In’s army of Pangaeans were committing an even more violent and horrifying genocide than the Agnagas in the past. It was revenge. The Valhalla Empire’s army was mercilessly taking revenge for the humiliation Pangaea had faced 1000 years ago!

“Rampage to your hearts’ content. Those bastards invaded our land 1000 years ago. I will approve of any deed.” Kang Chul-In added fuel to the fire.

“Kill them all. Don’t let anyone escape.”

Annihilation! It was a heavy price to pay for those who dared to attack South Korea, where Park Sun-Ja resided.

“Waahhhhhhh!”

“Let’s kill them all!”

“Die, die, dieeee!”

The imperial army became even more invigorated.

***

Meanwhile, this miraculous scene was being broadcasted live in South Korea, eliciting a huge response from the public.

[Breaking news] Mr. Kang Chul-In is destroying the monster army with his army from the other world!

[Breaking news] Is victory obtainable in Kaesong?

[Breaking news] An unexpected turn of events! Will Kang Chul-In become the savior of South Korea once again?

Mass media was inundated with news reports from the press.

-E-Everyone...! M-Mr. Kang Chul-In is commanding an army from the other world to fight the monster army in the north!

The news anchor of KBC[1] announced fervently, unable to mask his excitement.

- rhakdnjdy: Wing it, Kang Chul-In!

- ehrwkdufjqns: Kang Chul-In... South Korea can exist thanks to you... thank you.

- tkfkdgody: It’s like a scene from a movie...

- ioerewc123: ★ Kang Chul-In to the rescue ★

- HID05: This is truly a miracle...

- dodobird: Saving the country not just once, but twice...

The netizens who had given up evacuating were also writing thousands of comments every second. Kang Chul-In’s popularity was unprecedented in the history of the Korean peninsula, and this was to be expected. Could anyone else in the world successfully defeat the monster troop?

No. Nobody could, even with nuclear weapons. That was why Kang Chul-In was being hailed as the Messiah who could save the human race from this calamity!

“Son...!” Park Sun-Ja was also watching this scene. “That’s my son! Win! Show them your worth!”

Drip! Tears rolled down Park Sun-Ja’s cheeks. Kang Chul-In was certainly doing a good job. She couldn’t be any prouder.

A national hero! No, that would be insulting Kang Chul-In. This man was trying to save the entire planet, not just his nation. He was trying to accomplish a feat that even the USA could not! To be such a hero’s mother was a tremendous blessing.

“Show them, son!” Park Sun-Ja clenched her fists subconsciously. The best she could do was cheer for her son.

“Kill them all! Show them your strength!” Park Sun-Ja had long forgotten her fear for the alien monster army.

***

The battle concluded in less than an hour. As expected, Kang Chul-In and his army emerged as the victors. The ancient Agnaga army perished. Not a single monster survived...

“Wahhhhh!”

“Long live the Valhalla Empire!”

“Hooray!”

“Long live his imperial Majesty, Kang Chul-In!”

“Hooray!”

The imperial army roared. The victory cheer resonated across the whole battlefield.

“Congratulations on the win, your imperial Majesty!” Lucia kneeled in front of Kang Chul-In.

“Congratulations on the win, your imperial Majesty!” Immediately, a million soldiers kneeled simultaneously and hailed Kang Chul-In.

“...!”

The losers – the North Korean soldiers – were lost for words. They all had the same thought.

That comrade is the most charismatic leader of all...!

They were right. Kang Chul-In was in a different league from that fat and avaricious pig they knew. Their leader was a tyrant who had 100 sex slaves, enjoyed all sorts of luxury and ate the highest-class food every meal, while his people starved to death. How was Kang Chul-In in comparison? This South Korean comrade was reigning over a million soldiers, receiving admiration and respect from every single one of them.

He was a true leader. That was Kang Chul-In’s image in the North Korean soldiers’ eyes!

“Well done everyone!”

Whatever.

“We shall rest for two hours starting from now. No cleanup of the battlefield is required. Maintain your formation and get as much rest as possible. We will advance again in two hours!”

Kang Chul-In didn’t give a damn about the North Korean soldiers and focused solely on his own army. Why would he? From his perspective, the North Korean army comprised a bunch of cowards who didn’t even have the courage to stage a coup d’état.

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo! At that instant, a MI-26, a gigantic helicopter for transportation, approached him.

A voice could be heard from a loudspeaker attached to the helicopter.

“...?”

Kang Chul-In, who was about to head to Moscow to reclaim the land from the Agnagas, turned to face the helicopter.

“Comrade Kang Chul-In!”

A young pig and his brawny escorts alighted from the helicopter and approached Kang Chul-In rapidly.

“...?”

Kang Chul-In was puzzled. He had seen the pig’s face before, but he had no idea who he was.

“Who are you?” He asked.

“I’m the chairman of the Workers’ Party of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.” The young pig replied.

“What?”

“I’m Kim Jong-Oon[2].”

“...”

“Nice to meet you, comrade Kang Chul-In!” The young pig then embraced Kang Chul-In tightly. “Hahahahhaa~!”

“...”

“As expected from comrade Kang Chul-In! I’ve been watching you for some time! I knew you would help our country! Hahahaha~!”

At that moment, one of Kim Jong-Oon’s escorts whispered to Kang Chul-In.

“Reply quick, comrade! The chairman is giving you an embrace, so how can you stand still so arrogantly?”

Kang Chul-In did not reply.

This fucker... simply ridiculous ... what a sly pig.

There was a reason why Kim Jong-Oon found him immediately after the battle. He was making a political gesture.

This cunning and greedy pig was trying to enhance his political image by embracing Kang Chul-In and shaking his hand! Moreover, he was planning to establish his grounds in the international stage via a favorable relationship with Kang Chul-In. It was because North Korea was already doomed.

Veins popped up from Kang Chul-In’s forehead. Kim Jong-Oon was making a critical mistake here. Why would Kang Chul-In ever help him? Most healthy male in South Korea, except for the rich ones, served the army. For South Korean males who had to devote two years of their beautiful youth, Kim Jong-Oon was their prime enemy (although his grandfather was the main cause).

That villain was disrespectfully embracing Kang Chul-In and patting his back. Kang Chul-In, the emperor who ruled the huge Pangaea continent, was simply dumbfounded.

“Comrade Kang Chul-In!” Meanwhile, Kim Jong-Oon was blabbering on excitedly without a single concern. “I shall appoint you as the honorary commander-in-chief of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea!”

Kim Jong-Oon declared as he tapped Kang Chul-In’s shoulder.

“Comrade Kang Chul-In, why aren’t you saying anything?”

“...”

“Come, let’s go to my palace and have a feast! I will prepare...”

At that moment, Kang Chul-In’s fist struck Kim Jong-Oon’s face.

“Eek!” Kim Jong-Oon squealed like a pig and collapsed onto the floor.

“C-Chairman!”

“Oi, you bastard!”

“Have you gone insane?”

Immediately, all his escorts charged at Kang Chul-In, but they were subjugated in less than a second.

“U-Urgh...!” Kim Jong-Oon moaned in agony.

“Oi, you pig.” Kang Chul-In approached Kim Jong-Oon.

“C-Comrade Kang Chul-In...!”

“Who the hell is your comrade?” Kang Chul-In grinned.

“W-Why are you...”

“You are trash.”

“...!”

“Even less valuable than food waste.” Kang Chul-In said coldly. “At least food waste can be given to livestock. You are simply useless.”

“...”

“I know why you approached me, but did you think that I would happily accept your advances?”

“D-Don’t do this...”

“I don’t even want to talk to you. So...” With that, Kang Chul-In grabbed the fat Kim Jong-Oon by his collar. “Just die.”

“C-Comrade Kang Chul-In...”

Instantly, crack! Kim Jong-Oon’s head blew up like a watermelon. His lifeless corpse rolled onto the floor.

“Ew, almost got infected by this pig.” Kang Chul-In muttered and brushed his hands off, as though he had touched something filthy. To be honest, he was right. One did not need to have bad hygiene to be termed filthy.

“...”

The North Korean soldiers were once again flabbergasted. What they had just witnessed was too unrealistic. However, one thing was clear. Nobody teared or expressed any sorrow. It was simply a pitiful end for the dictator.

***

Kim Jong-Oon’s death was broadcasted in South Korea without any filtering or editing.

[Breaking news] North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Oon, is dead!

[Breaking news] Dictator dead in Mr. Kang Chul-In’s hands... a pitiful end...

[Breaking news] Mr. Kang Chul-In murdered Kim Jong Oon (page 2).

South Korea was obviously enveloped in chaos. However, nobody criticized Kang Chul-In. Everyone knew that Kim Jong-Oon was a tyrant who deserved to die. Moreover, this could finally be an opportunity for the unification of the Korean peninsula after 70 years. This led to a favorable public sentiment that worshipped and praised Kang Chul-In. Of course, there were concerns that Kang Chul-In would take control of South Korea, but they were groundless. This was because Kang Chul-In was already the emperor of Pangaea...

***

“Husband, who was he?” Desdemona pointed at Kim Jong-Oon’s corpse and asked.

“Trash.” Kang Chul-In replied.

“Trash?”

“A nation’s king, but totally incompetent.”

“Ah, is that so?”

Kang Chul-In was too lazy to explain the intricacies of the Earth’s political and leadership system, so he just decided to term Kim Jong-Oon a ‘king’. Well, everyone knew that North Korea was actually a kingdom disguised as a republic, anyway.

“Seems like he was a tyrant?”

“Well, kind of. He only knew how to agonize his people...”

Kang Chul-In was about to continue his sentence, when...

Flash! There was a flash of light from the west, followed by the appearance of a huge red pillar.

“...!”

Simultaneously, Kang Chul-In and Desdemona looked at each other.
