Chapter 20: The Natives of Another World Are Too Weak (Part II)

In Karn Village, after settling the remnants of the villagers who were already panicked to the brink of a nervous breakdown with the village chief and telling them to hide in the strongest barn, the Lich King Ainz took his staff and went to the entrance of the village to observe the enemy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info (Think about these villagers are also pitiful, they encountered three unknown armed men in one day, and the first batch of them killed nearly half of the whole village, and everyone had a nervous breakdown.) ）

Sebas, the dragon butler, Nabelal, the battle maid? Gamma and the slime maid Soruka? Epsilon, both holding the title of "Follower of the Magi" at this time, followed behind Ainz, while the tabby mage Wang Qiu and the black cat knight Ricky sat on his shoulders on the left and right. Ten other cats, a slime, and a leprechaun are followed at the end.

- In fact, when the first sight of the two kittens dared to sit on Ainz's shoulders, the demon steward Jarbede exploded in anger, and while his face was twisted and he shouted "blasphemy", he drew his tomahawk and was about to chop it. Unexpectedly, the two nimble kittens saw that the situation was not good, and immediately jumped off Ainz's shoulders and slipped away. Albede, who couldn't stop it, slashed Ainz in the head with an axe, nearly knocking the mask off his face. In addition, the noise also attracted onlookers from the villagers, who thought that infighting had broken out......

As a result, Yarbed, who thought that he had almost committed the "crime of killing the king", suddenly fell into a deep self-loathing and a serious mental trance, and it didn't look like he could continue to accompany him. Ainzi, who didn't know how to comfort women, was deeply anxious for a while, and finally had to leave Albede alone at the village chief's house, which was currently empty, to guard her luggage, and to punish her, and by the way, let her reflect and calm down for a while.

After dealing with the rampaging Yarbed, Ainz took a group of men and a group of cats to a half-collapsed stone house near the entrance of the village, and saw several Kingdom soldiers observing the enemy through the window, as well as Captain Gurdjief with a frown and an anxious face.

Of course, Ainz also saw the three apparently magical chanters on the prairie outside the window, as well as the shiny foreign object levitating beside them.

- Seeing something familiar in another world, the Lich King Ainz couldn't help but be taken aback:

“…… That's not ...... Angels? And the Archangel of Fire in the game? At least outwardly it looks like ...... But how did they end up here? Could it be that there are other YGGDRASIL players besides me who have also come to this other world? ”

- The "angel" that the Lich King Ainz is talking about at this time is not the white-robed birdman with a golden ring on his head described in the Christian Bible on Earth, but an NPC set in the game "Yggdrasil", and it is also a natural enemy of his undead race.

However, the art team of the YGGDRASIL game seems to have a tendency to take revenge on society, and are used to turning all sorts of beautiful legends into disgusting Crusu gods. For example, the vampire true ancestor who was supposed to be noble and cold, mostly handsome men and beautiful women, and full of dark gothic style, was stunned to be "beautified" into a lamprey by this non-personnel art group. The angels in the "YGGDRASIL" game are naturally "beautified" into a miniature version of the robot Gundam with wings, and the facial features are "simplified" into a whiteboard, and at the same time provide a folding function that can "squeeze the angels together". So I can't see that this product has any holy and noble holy atmosphere at all, but it has a bit of awkward science fiction color.

In fact, this "art group" did not "beautify" the angels and grew winged meat balls, which is already thankful.

It is precisely because these angels are really unsightly, they don't look like people, and they don't have any self-awareness, so except for some priests and fanatics in the Slian Sect, the vast majority of humans in this world, and even the priests of other human countries, do not regard them as messengers of God, and generally only think that angels are a kind of monsters summoned from the other world, equivalent to a kind of flying metal golem, which is as difficult as demons and vampires. But if you really want to fight the angels, you usually don't feel any moral guilt.

On the other hand, the Lich King Ainz, who is the leader of the evil race, was surprised by the appearance of the angel, but he was not too afraid.

- In the game of YGGDRASIL, angels are divided into Seraph, Wisdom Angel, Seat Angel, Lord Angel, Power Angel, Power Angel, Archangel and the lowest angel from top to bottom...... The one who appeared on the grassland in front of him was only the second-to-last Flame Archangel, probably around level 20. The Goblin Samurai in the YGGDRASIL game, which are equipped with armor and swords, are more than ten levels.

In other words, according to the experience that the Lich King Ainz has cultivated through playing the game "Yggdrasil" for twelve years, the strength conversion formula formed in his thinking, one angel is basically equivalent to one goblin, and one archangel is equivalent to two goblins...... Although considering that angels can fly, there is a slight bonus in combat power, but the gap will not be too big. Against a full-level player like the Lich King Ainz of a hundred, and a veteran who has played PK battles for twelve years, a flame archangel of this level, no matter how much he comes in one breath, he can only be easily crushed and killed in seconds.

Of course, it's only that the Lich King Ainz himself has such a strong strength, and not just any Lich can do so. Because in the game "Yggdrasil", the threshold for [Transformation of Life and Death] is set very low, and almost as long as you are a serious magician, you can transform into a lich. As a result, many weak chicken lichs were born. For example, in the current Nasalik Great Tomb, there are a bunch of Lich NPCs, which are only level 30, and they can barely fight with the big cockroaches. The elite goblins summoned with scrolls have a minimum of forty-three levels...... Don't be surprised if you occasionally see a goblin beating a lich in the Great Tomb, or a werewolf maid bowling with a lich's head.

In short, in YGGDRASIL games, unless you are a player or a guild guardian, whether it is a regular version of a lich NPC or an angel NPC, it is usually the same weak chicken...... However, the judgment of this "weak chicken" is only for YGGDRASIL gamers like Ainz the Lich King. Changing to the indigenous humans of this world, it is clear that they have a completely different view of this......

“…… That's right, angels. Gurdjieff nodded heavily at Ainz's exclamation, as far as he knew, angels and demons were stronger than other monsters summoned with the same magic. Some of them have special abilities and can even use magic, which is very difficult to deal with," ...... The weapons used are...... Flaming Sword? I don't know the kind of angels! It seems that this time I have met the elite of the Slian Sect! ”

“…… That Slenian Sect in the South? The Lich King Ainz spoke in a strange tone, "...... Does this Kahn village belong to Li? The territory of the Kingdom of Jestijah, the knights who attacked in the morning, with the coat of arms and banners of the Bahasas Empire, and now the elite soldiers of the Slen Sect have arrived? What's going on here? No matter how you look at this Karn village, it shouldn't have such value, right? Is it for ......?"

Ainz turned his head to look at Gerjeff a few times, and then showed a look of understanding, "...... Someone is trying to deal with His Excellency the Warrior Commander! And most likely a political enemy within the kingdom? Otherwise, how can you accurately grasp your whereabouts within the kingdom? ”

- Although as an ordinary office worker, Anz himself may not be so politically sensitive, but there is still a group of "experts" in the other world who are spoiling and supporting him, and Wang Qiu keeps a private chat in real time through [message] magic.

“…… Heck, since you are in the position of the commander of the kingdom warriors, and you are resented by some guys, this is also something that you can't do. ”

Gurdjieff shrugged his shoulders noncommittally and sighed freely, "...... In fact, when I set out from the royal capital, I already had such a premonition...... But...... It's nerve-wracking. Judging from the fact that there are so many magic bards on the other side who can summon angels, they are likely to be the special forces of the Slian Sect, the legendary six-colored holy tome! Whether in terms of numbers or skills, the other party has the advantage. ”

“…… The other party is more dominant? Ainz glanced at Gurdjieff again, his tone seemed to be a little surprised, "...... Your Excellency, you have more than twenty brave knights with you! Can't even deal with the three magic chanters and the three flame archangels on the other side? ”

- When the word "brave knight" is mentioned, there is a hint of mockery in Ainz's tone.

“…… Although there are only three magic chanters seen so far, no matter which of the special forces of the 'Six-Colored Sacred Codex' is dispatched by the Slian Sect, there will not be only a few of them, and there must be at least dozens of people in the back, and more than hundreds of troops are pressing the formation. But...... Did you know that thing is called a flame archangel? Can you tell us about its capabilities and features? Gurdjieff explained the reason, and then asked curiously, "...... Although I have fought with angels before, I only vaguely know that there are many types of angels, some strong and some weak. And these angels in front of me are all new species that I have never seen before, and I don't know their abilities, so naturally it is difficult to judge their strength or weakness! ”

And Ainz also sighed sadly: In this case, I can't judge the strength of your warrior leader!

“…… In the case of the Flame Archangel, the main weapon should be the Flame Sword...... I don't know what else to say (the little monster that kills in seconds, I basically don't care much about it). Ainz reached out and touched his chin and groaned, then changed the subject and continued to ask, "...... Also, about the knights of the Bajas Empire who appeared in the village of Karn in the morning...... It shouldn't be a coincidence, right?! ”

“…… Although it cannot be completely ruled out that our traitors colluded with the Bajas Empire and the Slian Sect at the same time, and combined the power of the Three Kingdoms to set a trap for me, but in my experience, it is more likely that those knights were sent by the Slian Sect to pretend. But if the person who came was a real knight of the Bahas Empire, then it would be equivalent to mobilizing the forces of the Three Kingdoms to besiege and kill me, as if he had become a public enemy of the entire human world, which is really ...... Haha, what a great honor! Even when resisting the Demon God of World Destruction, human beings were probably not so united!

Gurdjieff looked up at the sky and laughed sarcastically, although his expression was still very calm, but his heart was very anxious and angry.

- Are the aristocratic factions in the country who oppose the royal family so mad that they have lost their hearts to such a degree? Not only did he directly ambush himself, a royal general, but he also did not hesitate to collude with foreign forces, and even launched their internal response in the court, forcibly depriving himself of his treasure armament!

Alas, what a hard time for them! It's just that I really didn't expect that in addition to the Bajas Empire, which has been conquering the kingdom all year round, even the Slian Sect wants to mix in here, and it is obvious that it wants to unite the aristocratic faction and completely subvert the ruling order of the entire kingdom!

Although he was full of resentment against these traitors, Gurdjief was also well aware that he had already stepped into a trap and was understaffed, unprepared, and had nothing to do...... But maybe there's another trump card here that can turn the tables......

Gurdjieff turned his gaze to Ainz, who was continuing to stare at the enemy's situation, and asked with a glimmer of hope:

“…… Your Excellency the Magician, would you like to accept my employment? In terms of gratuity, you are guaranteed to meet your expectations! ”

The Lich King Ainz turned his head and looked at Gurdjieff again with even more strange eyes. And the warrior captain also lowered his head with a feeling, and compared his miscellaneous outfit with Anz's luxurious robes, and suddenly couldn't help but feel dirty.

- It's like a homeless man who wants to hire an office worker to work for him!

And after a moment of silent staring, Ainz replied unexpectedly—"...... I beg your pardon for refusing. ”

“…… Just ask your followers for help. Captain Gurdjieff stubbornly asked.

“…… I would like to refuse. Ainz continued to shake his head in refusal, although it was basically no problem for him to defeat the enemies outside the village, he still wanted to see what kind of combat power this kingdom warrior captain who claimed to be the strongest on the earth could exert in a desperate situation.

At this time, he already had a preliminary premonition of the weakness of the combat power of the indigenous humans in this world, but he still lacked the most direct proof. Therefore, before appearing in person, Ainz planned to throw Gerjeff out as a stepping stone to confirm the strength of him and the gang opposite.

- Overall, Ainz is still a cautious person, and he does not have the arrogant mentality of the legendary "Dragon Aotian".

“…… That's right...... So how about the forced conscription of you to help in the war according to the laws of the kingdom? ”

At this point, Captain Gerjeff was almost a scoundrel. But Ainz still didn't give in.

However, just as Ainz was about to open his mouth to refuse for the third time, Wang Qiu, the tabby cat mage sitting on his shoulder, raised his paw and spoke:

“…… That one...... Mr. Ainz, let's try how to meow this time? Anyway, even if we lose, we can resurrect at any time! And if you're looking to travel around the kingdom, this Captain Gurdjieff might be able to help you too......"

Before Ainz could figure out how to answer, Captain Gerjeff exclaimed, "...... Huh? What the? The cat actually spoke?! ”

A few minutes later, the embarrassed-looking warrior captain Gurdjieff, along with his equally embarrassed men, watched as an army of swaggering cats with their tails up and toes stepped out of Karn Village, raising their claws at the special forces of the Slen Cult on the steppe outside the village......
