Overlord: I’ve Been Recruiting Followers in Another World

With a bright smile on her face, Draudillon Oriculus gestured for Enri Emmot and the others to approach, then observed them up and down with uncontrollable curiosity.

Such a display reminded Enri Emmot of her own younger sister, Nemu, who was naive and lively.

No, no, no, this is too rude. The other party is the Queen of the Draconic Kingdom, and she is different from ordinary children.

Enri silently reminded herself.

After a brief audience, the chancellor standing beside Draudillon Oriculus seemed to have taken over authority and said to Enri and her entourage, "Everyone from the Church of Destiny, I am Leina Herman, chancellor of the Draconic Kingdom, and now on behalf of Her Majesty Oriculus and all citizens of the Draconic Kingdom, I welcome you."

"As our country is currently at war and cannot host a banquet to entertain you, I would like to apologize to you!"

As he spoke, Leina Herman bowed slightly to Enri and the others.

Enri quickly returned his bow, saying, "You are most courteous, Lord Chancellor."

Seems like a good girl to deal with, or is it merely superficial experience?

Leina Herman observed Enri's small movements at a glance, and concluded that she was not the type of person who had been in high positions all year round and was unlikely to be proficient in political negotiation.

So after simple courtesies, Leina Herman got straight to the point and asked Enri, "Priest Emmot, Lord Quinthia informed us that your church is not only powerful but also willing to assist us, the Draconic Kingdom, against the invasion of the Orc Kingdom. Is this true?"

"Yes, Lord Chancellor."

With a serious nod on her face, Enri said, "My God has learned of the crisis currently facing your country, and in the spirit of benevolence for mankind, he is willing to provide aid to your country and help it drive out the evil orc forces."

"Thanks be to your God for your grace."

Of course, benevolence and so on were just formal words. Leina Herman was not naive enough to believe this reason, but he still expressed his gratitude to Enri.

Then came one of the most important issues.

"So Priest Emmot, how much assistance does your church wish to provide to our country?"

Hearing this question, Enri hesitated slightly, and then replied to Leina Herman without much confidence, "Lord Chancellor, on this question my God has expressed his desire to consult with Her Majesty Oriculus directly."

"When we came this time, firstly we wanted to convey our sincere greetings to Your Majesty, and secondly, we wanted to prove to you that our Church of Destiny possesses sufficient power to help your country overcome this difficulty."

"So." Leina Herman nodded.

Show your goods before you make a deal, and then start bargaining?

It wasn't that he couldn't understand such an approach, rather it was better to say that he was greatly relieved by it.

Because according to Quinthia's introduction to the Church of Destiny, this suddenly appearing mystical organization had an extremely powerful head as well as many strong professionals who could provide military support to the Draconic Kingdom, even stronger than the Church of Destiny.

If the other party asked for nothing at all, he would instead have to worry about whether the organization was plotting evil and wanted to harm the Draconic Kingdom.

"Priest Emmot, I wonder how you will demonstrate your church's power to us? If it is a competition, everyone in the Re-Estize Kingdom's Adamantite adventurer team, Crystal Tear, and the worker team, Haoyan Honglian, have admired your church for a long time and can compete with your church members."

Leina Herman smiled.

It was something he had arranged beforehand.

Although the Church of Destiny had the recommendation of the church country, there was a high probability that there would be no problems, but after all, the matter of assistance concerned the safety of the Draconic Kingdom, and verifying the strength of the Church of Destiny's members was inevitable.

Only with this understanding could he determine whether to make a deal with the Church of Destiny and how to arrange the combat power sent by the Church of Destiny in the future.

Enri also had no objection to this. After all, this was also a more intuitive way to showcase one's strength, though the God's explanation was more than that.

"Prime Minister, please arrange a suitable venue."

"No problem."

Leina Herman readily agreed.

Then, under his leadership, the group arrived at the palace's grand training ground, a large open space with training props like straw dummies.

"I am the leader of the Adamantite Adventurer Team Crystal Tear. My name is Sevelare Brise Alderan. Esteemed members of the Church of Destiny, who among you wishes to teach?"

At Leina Herman's signal, a man stepped out from the Draconic Kingdom's entourage and addressed Enri and the others, neither humble nor arrogant.

He wore paladin-style armor, which seemed unremarkable in appearance, but could give people a sense of sunshine.

Confronted with his unprompted challenge, Enri did not choose to do it herself or let her entourage fight, but instead said, "Your Excellency Alderan, please wait a moment."

After saying that, in the eyes of everyone's confusion, she walked to the center of the open space.

After using communication magic to finalize her connection with Rennas, who was far away in E-Rantel, Enri raised the magic staff in her hand, and a dark, semicircular gate quickly opened beside her.

Thump, thump, thump!

A hundred-person army in neat formation slowly emerged from the portal, occupying most of the training ground.

It wasn't that Leina Herman and the others had never seen an army, they had even seen legion formations of tens of thousands of soldiers, but the hundred-person army in front of them stunned them.

The hundred fully armed beings exuded extremely strong magical fluctuations, making them no low-level goods at first glance.

But what was most shocking was the metal plate hanging around their necks, which every adventurer would recognize, and that was what represented the adventurer hierarchy identity.

"Adamantite... Adventurers!? Impossible!"

The members of the Crystal Tear Squad unconsciously murmured.

They were Adamantite adventurers themselves, and even if someone of the same rank appeared, they wouldn't be overly surprised.

However, the scene before their eyes was simply too astonishing.

It was evident that more than half of those hundred wore Adamantite-class adventurer identity plates, and the remaining nameplates also indicated that their ranks were Mithril or Orichalcum.

You must know that the total number of all Adamantite-tier adventurer squads, including the Re-Estize Kingdom, the Baharuth Empire, the Draconic Kingdom, the Holy Kingdom, the Slane Theocracy, etc., did not exceed 10. Where did all these Adamantite-tier adventurers come from?

It wouldn't be fake, would it?

In this instant, Sevelare and the others had this absurd idea in their hearts, but they also knew it was impossible.

The Adventurers' Guild's vetting of adventurer identities was extremely strict, and if anyone was found to be impersonating, the Guild's assassination squads would hunt them to the ends of the earth.

People who had no strength dared not impersonate, and people who had no need to, so it was highly likely that everyone in front of them was a real Adamantite-tier adventurer.
