Overlord: I’ve Been Recruiting Followers in Another World

Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Kael's Strategy



Just as Lakyus and her teammates were enjoying their daily routine, a communication spell connected to her body, making her expression suddenly solemn.

"Lakyus?" Kael's voice came from the communication crystal.

"God? Are you looking for me for something?" Lakyus asked, her voice slightly tense.

"Yes, I have one thing I need you to do."

Hearing that Kael wanted her to perform a task, Lakyus stood straight and listened carefully, "Please give me your command!"

Kael on the other end of the communication spell seemed to perceive her reaction and chuckled, "Haha, don't be so serious, I just want you to go to your hotel and ask King Ramposa III to come."

"Looking for His Majesty the King?"

Lakyus was a little surprised.

Previously, Kael had only met the old king once, but then all matters were left to Enri to handle, and he never personally intervened again.

How could someone suddenly want to find a king now?

A trace of doubt appeared in her heart, and Lakyus couldn't help but say to Kael, "Please forgive me for asking, what are you looking for His Majesty the King for this time?"

"Well..." Kael hesitated, as if he was thinking about something, and finally replied, "You must still remember what I said before, about the Golden Princess?"

Renner!?

Lakyus's heart skipped a beat, and then her face gradually became more complicated. "God, Renner, she..."

"She's fine now. I haven't touched a single hair on her. I always remember what I promised you."

"But..."

"No. You go and do what I want you to do, and you will be able to see her naturally afterward. Also, be mentally prepared."

Kael, with an undeniable tone, gave an appropriate answer as soon as Lakyus opened her mouth, and directly refused her request to see Princess Renner.

To press on would only anger God-sama.

Lakyus took a deep breath and replied to Kael on the other side of the communication spell, "I know, God! I will go to your guesthouse now, and I will certainly bring His Majesty to you."

"Alright, thank you."

After Kael thoughtfully comforted her, he canceled the magic effect.

Both Evileye and Tina, who had been next to Lakyus, noticed that her expression was very wrong. After looking at each other, they asked with concern, "Lakyus, what's wrong with you?"

Lakyus forced a smile and shook her head, "It's nothing, the God has given me a task, and now I'm going out."

After saying that, she turned and left the training ground, leaving only Evileye and Tina looking at each other, full of questions.

And in the underground palace dormitory, Kael watched Lakyus in the magic mirror leave the church residence, and then withdrew his gaze.

Just now, he had received reports from his two confidantes, Fluder Paradyne and Enri.

Regarding the establishment of the Holy City in the Katze Plains, the Baharuth Empire and the Church of Destiny had transported appropriate building materials to the vicinity of the Katze Plains. The Church of Destiny had to immediately send people to receive them, and then escort the materials to the central area of the Katze Plains.

The construction of the Holy City could only begin once a fortress was established in the central area and construction workers from both nations were brought there through portals.

And that was, the magic caster army he had previously proposed, which had already been mobilized there at the Church of Destiny, this time to the Katze Plains, where he had arrived with the material transport troops.

This meant that the cooperation between him and the Church of Destiny would officially begin, and at that time he would have to take over and lead the overall situation.

In addition, the diplomatic staff of the Church of Destiny had already arrived in the Draconic Kingdom with spatial coordinate recording props, and Enri would go to the Draconic Kingdom to meet the Dragon Princess tonight.

It was estimated that the Dragon Princess would come to meet him tomorrow, and that his timing would arrange for church members to go to the Draconic Kingdom to strengthen their ranks and establish a church branch in the Draconic Kingdom.

So, to concentrate on arranging the above matters, he had to deal with this royal side within these two days.

And after experiencing two attacks on cities, the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick's reputation was already quite bad on the royal side, and the possibility of peacefully conquering the kingdom was basically zero.

When the time came, if the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick chose to forcibly attack the kingdom, he would be able to lead his army to join in the name of salvation.

In this way, he would not have to bear the accusation of malicious invasion, but he could also successfully take over the kingdom's land, cities, and population, highlighting the core idea of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick and benefiting him.

Until then, he had no more to plan for the kingdom, and only one last matter to deal with was the Golden Princess.

Her Royal Highness, who was involved in this and the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, might have some cards that those demons could play, so he simply used her as a disruptor.

If he could disrupt the situation in the kingdom and plunge the country into a fragmented situation, he would save time even waiting for Operation Nazarick, and he would be able to directly support a royal noble to launch an attack.

With his help, no matter which royal noble was able to eliminate other forces in a very short time and eventually complete the unification, the kingdom would naturally fall indirectly under his control.

The city guesthouse.

Lakyus had a special identity. She was both a member of the royal nobility and a close friend of Princess Renner.

So King Ramposa III received her immediately after hearing her request.

"Lakyus, what brings you to see me?"

With a benevolent smile on his face, King Ramposa III asked as if an elder caring for their descendant.

Lakyus respectfully saluted the old king and conveyed, "Your Majesty, my God invites you to go to the church to speak. I wonder if you have time?"

Upon hearing this, King Ramposa III showed an expression of surprise.

He knew about Lakyus joining the Church of Destiny yesterday, so the God Lakyus mentioned was naturally the one from the Church of Destiny.

"Lakyus, did the God say that he wishes to meet me for something?" King Ramposa III asked carefully.

Lakyus looked at the old man in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell him what she knew.

"Your Majesty, my God is looking for you this time, perhaps related to the matter of Renner."

"Renner? What happened to her?"

A bad premonition suddenly arose in King Ramposa III's heart.

Prince Zanac and Princess Renner left the Re-Estize Royal Capital under the protection of the royal guards, and he had also sent envoys two days prior to locate both his son and daughter, but had not yet received any news.

Unexpectedly, when he heard their names again, he was involved with that person, which truly worried him, an old father.

King Ramposa III only thought of this layer, and did not expect that the news Lakyus was about to speak of was far more explosive than he had imagined.

"...Your Majesty, Renner may be involved with Ainz Ooal Gown's gang, which involves the destruction of the Re-Estize Royal Capital this time."

Upon hearing the news, the old king suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed with a shout, "What did you say!? How is this possible!!!"
