Overlord: I’ve Been Recruiting Followers in Another World

Chapter 139: Chapter 139: The Fall of the Re-Estize Kingdom



In the Re-Estize Royal Capital, space fluctuated for a moment, then Kael, along with Rennas and Lakyus, appeared. They had used detection magic beforehand, ensuring there were no monsters in the city, allowing them to teleport with full confidence.

As for whether there were any forces from the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick ambushing around the city, Kael actually hoped they were.

After all, his condition had fully recovered thanks to [Chalice of Hygieia], and his life-saving resurrection ring was also ready. His power had returned.

Furthermore, before coming here, he had also used props to summon a high-level angelic war party. So, if an emergency arose, Enri could open a portal to provide support.

However, it seemed that was not necessary at the moment.

The trio walked through the streets of the Re-Estize Royal Capital. Lakyus looked around with a very heavy expression on her face. Sadness and anger were etched there.

As far as the eye could see, a large number of houses in the city suffered serious damage. The bodies of victims were faintly visible among the collapsed tiles and broken beams, and cracks in the ground spread out to form brownish-red patches. A heartbreaking scene of devastation.

After walking a short distance further, the three of them stopped.

Lakyus stared straight ahead, her hands clenched, anger clearly visible on her face. Her teeth were tightly gritted.

Kael and Rennas also frowned, feeling the same anguish.

On this street, the ground was covered with broken limbs from many victims.

Judging by the marks on their bodies, these victims did not seem to have suffered large-scale magical attacks, but rather were crushed by large cutting machines, resulting in mass casualties. A gruesome and inefficient method of slaughter.

Kael averted his gaze from the pile of corpses and activated the effect of [Sky Feather Belt] to fly high into the sky. Seeing this, Rennas and Lakyus also used flying magic to follow him closely.

The trio stopped after reaching an altitude of about ten meters and observed the surrounding streets. They found several sections of road with similar situations, and there appeared to be some in other places as well.

"This has become a dead city," Kael spoke in a very calm tone, his voice flat, as if merely stating an undeniable fact. No emotion was discernible from him, yet that very lack made his words feel cold and heavy.

Lakyus nodded grimly, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and asked Kael for instructions, "Your Excellency, I will return to E-Rantel first to report the situation to His Majesty the King and request that a search and rescue team be formed to save the residents of the Re-Estize Royal Capital who might be trapped under buildings."

"Alright, we'll return too." Kael agreed with her actions and said, "You can contact Enri later and ask her to lead the army to defend against the next enemy attack and assist you in deploying manpower."

Hearing the news, Lakyus showed a rare expression of joy on her face, a light of hope radiating. She immediately bowed deeply to Kael.

"On behalf of His Majesty the King and the survivors of the capital who will be saved, thank you for your assistance!"

"Haha, I've heard you say thank you many times. Why don't you show your gratitude with some practical actions?"

Kael saw Lakyus's grateful expression and couldn't help but feel intrigued. He said in a teasing tone, "For example, join the church and become my official follower."

It was just a casual joke, but what Kael didn't expect was that after a second's pause, Lakyus actually nodded seriously.

"You're right. I should repay your kindness and consideration."

"After I arrange the disaster relief, I will apply to the Water Temple to withdraw from the church, and then officially join the Church of Destiny and become your follower." Determination radiated from her voice.

Kael was stunned for a moment, then smiled. A satisfied smile.

Although earlier than he expected, it was undoubtedly a good thing for him that Lakyus was willing to join the church.

As a long-standing Adamantite-rank adventurer, the Blue Roses' reputation should be quite useful in the surrounding countries and would certainly be very helpful to his future course of action.

"Then I will wait for you at the church."

"Yes."

Lakyus responded with a more sincere smile.

The three of them then used teleportation magic to return to E-Rantel.

As planned, Lakyus went to the VIP guesthouse to report the results of the Re-Estize Royal Capital investigation to the old king and coordinate the city's disaster relief efforts.

Since the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick had evacuated the Re-Estize Royal Capital, Kael didn't need to worry about other matters. So, after a slight disguise, Kael brought Rennas to Arwintar, the capital of the Baharuth Empire.

There was no specific purpose for this trip, just a stroll and some shopping to relieve the pressure after seeing the tragic state of the Re-Estize Royal Capital.

As one of the Four Imperial Knights, Rennas used to live in this imperial capital, but due to a curse, she rarely ventured out onto the streets. This time, she could freely enjoy the city's atmosphere.

Then, like any ordinary couple, they both sought out a local tour guide, explored the sights of the imperial capital, and went to the arena to watch beast fighting matches. They had a good time, momentarily forgetting the horrors they had witnessed.

After returning to E-Rantel in the evening, Kael asked Rennas to return to his residence first, and he once again cast teleportation magic to leave the city.

The scenery around him changed, and when he regained consciousness, he had arrived in the wilderness. Cold air enveloped him.

[Perfect Unknowable]!

After using the invisibility magic [Complete Invisibility] to conceal his presence, Kael flew towards a village faintly visible in the distance.

There weren't many houses in the entire village, only about twenty, and they were scattered irregularly.

The village was surrounded by tall wooden walls, and there were watchtowers beside the front and back gates.

However, surprisingly, the beings responsible for the warning were not humans, but creatures with shining holy light all over their bodies—angels.

This was Carne Village.

Although the villagers had moved to the city with Kael, the village was not abandoned. Instead, Kael had transformed it into a place similar to a secret prison, a safe and locked place.

Previously, the only ones guarding here were the Sunlight Scripture from the Slane Theocracy, but now there was a new group of people.

Kael walked among the houses, as if searching for something, and soon found his target.

When he reached the window, his eyes fell upon the girl standing in front of the window and staring at the stars.

Her long, golden hair shone in the candlelight, and her deep eyes were as beautiful as sapphires.

The girl was none other than Princess Renner Theiere Chardelon Ryle Vaiself, who had been held hostage by members of the Church of Destiny.

Due to the effect of [Complete Invisibility], Princess Renner could not detect Kael approaching, but her eyes suddenly moved. A strange flash of awareness.

Her gaze was directed at two royal guards walking past the cabin.

The two men seemed to be quietly observing her, but when they realized she had turned her gaze towards them, they immediately looked away and walked away quickly, pretending not to have noticed.

Princess Renner stared at the departing guards without expression. She didn't take it seriously, but thought about her current situation with a cool head.
