Chapter 20: The indigenous people in another world are really too weak (Part 2)
In the village of Kahn, after working with the village chief to settle the remaining villagers who were already panicking to the point of mental breakdown and ordering them to hide in the strongest barn, Lich King Ainz calmly headed to the entrance of the village with his staff in hand. Observe the enemy's situation. (Think about how pitiful these villagers are. They encountered three attacks by unknown armed men in one day. The first batch of them killed nearly half of the villagers. Everyone had a mental breakdown.)
The dragon butler Sebas, the battle maid Narberal Gama, and the slime monster maid Soluka Epsilon, all holding the title of "Magician Follower", followed Ainz. Tabby cat mage Wang Qiu and black cat knight Rachel sat on his shoulders, one on the left and one on the right. Behind it were ten other cats, a slime, and a goblin.
——In fact, when she first saw the two little kittens sitting on Ainz’s shoulders in such a grand manner, the devil’s mistress Albedo instantly exploded in anger, while her face was distorted and she yelled, “Blasphemy!” ", while drawing out the battle ax and about to strike. Unexpectedly, the two nimble little cats saw that something was not going well, and immediately jumped down from Ainz's shoulders and ran away. Albedo, unable to hold back, hit Ainz on the head with an axe, almost knocking the mask off his face. In addition, the noise also attracted villagers to watch, thinking that an internal strife had broken out...
As a result, Albedo, who thought she had almost committed the "crime of regicide", suddenly fell into deep self-loathing and a severe mental trance, and she did not look like she could continue to accompany them. Ainz, who didn't quite know how to comfort a woman, felt deeply distressed for a while. In the end, he had to leave Albedo alone in the currently empty village chief's house to guard her luggage, as a punishment and to allow her to reflect and calm down for a while.
After dealing with the berserk Albedo, Ainz took a group of his men and a group of cats to a half-collapsed stone house near the entrance of the village. He saw several Kingdom soldiers observing the enemy's situation through the window, and frowning The soldier-captain Gazef frowned, his face full of anxiety.
Of course, Ainz also saw the three figures who were obviously magic casters on the grassland outside the window, as well as the shiny foreign object suspended beside them.
——The Lich King Ainz couldn’t help being surprised because he saw familiar things in another world again:
"...Isn't that... an angel? And it's the Archangel of Fire in the game? At least it looks similar on the outside... But why do they appear here? Are there other "YGGDRASIL" besides me? Gamers, have you also come to this different world?”
——The "angel" that Lich King Ainz was talking about at this time was not the kind of white-robed bird-man with a golden ring on his head described in the Christian Bible on Earth, but the one set in the game "YGGDRASIL" A certain type of NPC, who is also the natural enemy of the undead.
However, the art team of the "YGGDRASIL" game seems to have a tendency to retaliate against society, and is accustomed to turning various beautiful legendary objects into the disgusting Crusu evil god. For example, the original vampire ancestor who was originally supposed to be noble and cool, mostly handsome men and beautiful women, full of dark gothic style, was "beautified" into a lamprey by this indifferent art team. The angels in the "YGGDRASIL" game have naturally been "beautified" into mini-robot Gundams with wings, and their facial features have been "simplified" into a whiteboard, while also providing a folding function that can turn the angels into "Huddle". Therefore, there is no sense of holy and noble aura about this product at all. Instead, it has a somewhat awkward sci-fi color.
In fact, thank God that the damn "art team" didn't "beautify" the angel into a fleshy ball with wings.
Precisely because these angels are really unsightly, they do not look like humans, and they have no self-awareness. Therefore, except for some priests and fanatic believers in the Slian Theocracy, most of the humans in the world, even Priests in other human countries do not regard them as messengers of God, but generally believe that angels are monsters summoned from another world, equivalent to a kind of flying metal golem, and are as difficult to deal with as demons and vampires. That’s all. But if you really want to fight with an angel, you usually won't feel any moral guilt.
On the other hand, the Lich King Ainz, as the leader of the evil race, was surprised by the angel's appearance, but he was not afraid at all.
——In the game "YGGDRASIL", angels are divided from top to bottom into Seraphim, Cherubim, Throne Angels, Lord Angels, Power Angels, Power Angels, Power Angels, Archangels and the lowest angels... appear in front of you. On this grassland, there is only the penultimate Flame Archangel, who is probably around level 20. In the "YGGDRASIL" game, the Goblin warriors equipped with armor and swords are over ten levels.
In other words, according to the strength conversion formula formed in Lich King Ainz’s mind through the experience he gained from playing the game “YGGDRASIL” for twelve years, an angel is basically equivalent to a goblin, and an angel is basically equivalent to a goblin. The archangel is equivalent to two goblins... Although considering that angels can fly, their combat effectiveness is slightly increased, but the difference is not too big. Against a level 100 player like Lich King Ainz, who is also a veteran of PK battles for twelve years, no matter how many Flame Archangels of this level he comes up to in one breath, they will only be easily crushed and defeated. The outcome of a flash kill.
Of course, it is only Lich King Ainz who is so powerful, not just any lich. Because in the game "YGGDRASIL", the threshold for [Transformation between Life and Death] is set very low. Almost as long as you are a serious magician, you can transform into a lich. As a result, many weak and weak lichs were born. For example, in the Great Tomb of Nazarick right now, there are a bunch of Lich NPCs, which are only level 30, and can barely compete with the giant cockroaches. The elite goblins summoned with scrolls are at least level forty-three... If you occasionally see goblins beating up lichs in the big tomb, or the werewolf maid playing bowling with the lich's head, then... Please don't be surprised.
In short, in the game "YGGDRASIL", unless they are players or guild guardians, whether they are ordinary Lich NPCs or Angel NPCs, they are usually the same weak chickens... However, the results of this "weak chicken" evaluation , and it is only for "YGGDRASIL" game players like Lich King Ainz. If it were the indigenous humans of this world, they would obviously have a completely different view on this...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"...Yes, it's an angel." In response to Ainz's exclamation, Gazef nodded with a heavy expression. As far as he knew, angels and demons were stronger than other monsters summoned using the same magic. Some of them have special abilities and can even use magic, which is very difficult to deal with. "...The weapon used is...a flaming sword? An unknown type of angel! It seems that this time we have met the elite of the Slian Theocracy. ”
"...The Silian Theocracy in the south?" Lich King Ainz's tone seemed a little strange, "...This village of Karn belongs to the territory of the Kingdom of Li Yestije. The knights who attacked in the morning, armor The flag bears the emblem of the Bahas Empire, and now the elite soldiers of the Silian Theocracy are here? What is going on? This village of Karn should not have such value, right? ”
Ainz turned his head and looked at Gazef for a few times, then showed a clear look on his face, "...Someone wants to deal with the Warrior Commander, sir! And it's probably a political enemy within the kingdom? Otherwise, how can we, within the kingdom, Accurately capture your whereabouts? ”
——Although as an ordinary office worker, Ainz's political sensitivity may not be that high, but in another world, there is still a group of "experts" who are giving him spoilers and advice, and they were passed by Wang Qiu [ Message] Magic to keep private chats in real time.
"...Oh, since I am in the position of captain of the kingdom's warriors, I am resented by some guys. There is nothing I can do about it."
Gazef shrugged noncommittally and sighed in a pretentious manner, "...In fact, when I set off from the royal capital, I already had a vague premonition of this...but...it's really nerve-wracking. Since the other party has With so many magic casters who can summon angels, it seems likely that they are the special forces of the Silian Theocracy, the legendary Six-Color Holy Book! In terms of numbers and abilities, the other side has the advantage."< br>
"...The other party has the advantage?" Ainz looked at Gazef again, his tone seemed to be a little surprised, "...Warrior Commander, you have more than twenty brave knights with you! You can actually Can’t deal with the three magic chanters and the three flame archangels on the opposite side?”
——When he said the word "brave knight", Ainz couldn't help but have a hint of ridicule in his tone.
"...Although there are only three magic chanters seen so far, no matter which of the 'Six-Color Holy Scripture' special forces dispatched by the Silian Theocracy, there will not be only such a few people. There must be at least dozens of people, maybe hundreds of people, behind them. But... do you know that thing is called the Archangel of Fire? Can you tell me about its abilities and capabilities? Characteristics?" Gazef first explained the whole story, and then asked curiously, "...Although I have fought against angels before, I only vaguely know that there are many types of angels, some strong and some weak. Angels are all new types that I have never seen before. I don’t know their abilities, so it’s hard to judge their strength!”
Ainz also sighed in an equally troubled manner: If this happens, I won't be able to judge how strong you are as a warrior!
"...As for the Archangel of Fire, the main weapon should be the flame sword...I don't know what to say about the rest (I basically don't care much about the mobs that I kill instantly)." Ainz reached out and touched his chin as he pondered, He changed the topic and continued to ask, "...Also, regarding the Bajas Empire knight who appeared in Kahn Village in the morning...it shouldn't be a coincidence, right?!"
"...Although we cannot completely rule out the possibility that our country's traitors have colluded with the Bahas Empire and the Silian Theocracy at the same time and combined the power of the Three Kingdoms to set a trap for me, but based on my experience, those knights are more likely to be The Silian Theocracy sent people to pretend, but if the visitor is the real Bahas Empire. Knight, then it is equivalent to mobilizing the power of the Three Kingdoms to surround and kill me as a warrior, as if I have become a public enemy of the entire human world. This is really... haha, what a great honor! Even when I resisted the Demon God of Destruction, I am afraid that humans would They are not so united!
Gazef looked up to the sky and laughed sarcastically. Although his expression was still very calm, his heart was full of anxiety and anger.
——Are the aristocratic factions in the country who oppose the royal family so crazy and crazy? Not only did he directly ambush himself, a royal general, he also colluded with foreign forces and even mobilized their internal support in the palace to forcibly deprive himself of his Noble Phantasm and Arms!
Oh, thank you for their hard work! It’s just that I really didn’t expect that in addition to the Bahas Empire, which has been conquering the kingdom all year round, even the Silian Theocracy also wants to get involved here, and it is obvious that they want to unite with the noble faction and completely subvert the ruling order of the entire kingdom. !
Although he was full of resentment towards these traitors, Gazef also knew very well that he had already stepped into a trap, and he was short-handed, unprepared, and had nothing to do...but maybe there was a way to make a comeback. Ace...
Gazef turned his gaze to Ainz, who was still concentrating on the enemy situation, and asked with a glimmer of hope:
"...Mr. Magician, are you willing to accept my employment? I guarantee that the remuneration will meet your expectations!"
Lich King Ainz turned his head and looked at Gazef again with an even weirder look. The warrior captain also lowered his head and took a look. He compared his own eclectic outfit with Ainz's luxurious robes, and suddenly couldn't help but feel dirty.
——This is just like a homeless man trying to hire an office white-collar worker to work for him!
After looking at each other silently for a moment, Ainz's answer was not as expected - "...Please forgive me for refusing."
"...It's okay to just ask your followers for help." Warrior Captain Gazef forced himself to ask.
"...I'll forgive you for refusing." Ainz continued to shake his head and refuse. Although it was basically no problem for him to defeat the enemies outside the village, he still wanted to see this Kingdom warrior who was known as the strongest on earth. Long, what kind of fighting power can be exerted in desperate situations.
At this time, he already had a preliminary hunch about the weak combat effectiveness of the indigenous humans in this world, but he still lacked the most direct proof. Therefore, before appearing in person, Ainz planned to throw Gazef out as a pathfinder to confirm the strength of him and the group opposite.
——In general, Ainz is still a cautious and cautious person, and he does not have the arrogant mentality of the legendary "Long Aotian" with his nostrils in the air.
"...That's it...then according to the laws of the kingdom, how about forcibly recruiting you to help in the war?"
At this point, Warrior Captain Gazef was almost acting rogue. However, Ainz still had no intention of giving in.
However, just when Ainz was about to refuse for the third time, Wang Qiu, the tabby cat mage sitting on his shoulder, raised his paw and spoke:
"...Um...Mr. Ainz, how about we try this time, nya? Anyway, even if we lose, we can be resurrected at any time, nya! Moreover, if you want to travel within the kingdom, this Ge Jie Perhaps my husband, the captain, can also be of a lot of help, nya..."
Before Ainz could think of how to answer, Warrior Captain Gazef exclaimed: "...Eh? What? The cat actually talked?!" - A few minutes later, the Warrior Captain looked embarrassed and confident. Gazef, just be with him Those subordinates who were equally embarrassed and spirited watched as a legion of cats with their tails raised and arrogant stepped out of the village of Kahn and raised their cat paws at the special forces of the Silian Theocracy on the grassland outside the village...
