Overlord: I’ve Been Recruiting Followers in Another World

After bidding Renner farewell, Lakyus and Tina left the Re-Estize Kingdom's Royal Capital by carriage and rode towards the luxurious hotel in the city center.

Blue Rose was a renowned Adamantite-tier adventurer team in the capital. So, when the two of them returned to the inn, the high-level adventurers and nobles also staying there all focused their attention on them. A common sight for heroes.

The two women, long accustomed to such scenes, ignored the gazes of the guests in the hotel lobby and returned to the large room rented by the team.

Thump, thump, thump!

Tina knocked on the door with a specific rhythm—a secret code—and the person guarding inside quickly opened the door and let them both in.

"Lady Aindra, Lady Tina, you're back!"

The first person to greet them was not a member of the Blue Rose team, but a girl with short, dark brown hair. Her face showed genuine relief.

Kael, who had been secretly following Lakyus and the others, was also slightly surprised to see the girl.

Because the girl in front of him was none other than Cecilia, who had come to the capital to search for her sister.

As for the strong foreign aid Lakyus mentioned earlier, if Kael guessed correctly, they were the five other members in the room: relatives from Carne Village who accompanied Cecilia in her search for her sister. An interesting coincidence.

"I apologize for making you wait, Cecilia."

Lakyus smiled and apologized to the girl, her tone full of empathy.

Earlier, while Gagaran and Evileye were strolling on the street, they happened to meet Cecilia's group of six who had come to the royal capital.

Because a warrior and a Magic Caster in the team had been trained by Gagaran and the other man—likely Enri or one of her goblin warriors—they took the initiative to greet them. After asking, Gagaran and the others learned the team's purpose for coming to the royal capital.

It was destiny. A thought that crossed their minds.

Blue Rose was just about to deal with Eight Fingers, so of course they had to gather some information about Eight Fingers, including the part about the underground brothel.

So Gagaran brought the team back and said that she would help Cecilia rescue her sister later.

"You're welcome!"

Cecilia was also an adventurer in the past, so she naturally admired Blue Rose, which was an elite all-female Adamantite-tier adventurer team, and spoke with a hint of respect in her voice. There was clear admiration in her eyes.

However, thinking that her sister was suffering in the underground brothel, Cecilia found it difficult to calm down and talk to her idols, and hurriedly asked, "Lady Aindra, when can we act!?" An urgency born of anxiety.

"Don't worry, Cecilia."

Lakyus knew the girl's anxiety, so she gently soothed her emotions and said, "Tina and Evileye have already gone to investigate the situation there. Once we know the internal structure of the place, we will begin to act."

"This will not only ensure the safety of all hostages, but also destroy that filthy den in one fell swoop!" Her determination was clear.

Cecilia opened her mouth, wanting to object, but the words were caught in her throat.

She knew that the plan Lakyus mentioned was correct. If they attacked directly, the enemy might immediately retreat through secret passages if they felt unmatched.

At that time, her sister might already be taken away by the enemy, and it would be even harder to find her.

Therefore, all enemies must be defeated in one action! An absolute strategy.

Upon realizing this, Cecilia gritted her teeth and nodded, saying, "Lady Aindra, you are an experienced adventurer, I am willing to follow your arrangements!" A surrender full of trust.

"Thank you."

Lakyus's heart was slightly touched.

For the girl, those words undoubtedly meant that her sister's life had been entrusted into her hands, and she must not squander this trust. The burden of responsibility felt heavy, yet also motivating.

Soon after, there was another knock on the door. This time it was different, another signal they recognized.

Based on the secret knocking signal, Lakyus immediately guessed that Tina and Evileye, who were gathering intelligence, had returned, and quickly let them in.

Everyone could understand Cecilia's feelings, so Tina and the others took out a recorded topographic map and explained it to everyone in detail.

"This is the underground brothel. This is the main entrance to the brothel. There's another entrance to the building next to it. This is the escape route..." Tina explained, her finger pointing at each spot on the map.

Blue Rose's business capabilities were still very strong. Evileye and Tina both possessed extraordinary stealth skills, and they had a thorough understanding of the situation in the underground brothel.

After listening to the two women's introduction, Lakyus had a rough attack plan in mind.

"So, there are three exits in that place. It's not difficult to block these three places with our current manpower, but if we want to carry out a rescue and encirclement at the same time, I'm afraid we can't guarantee that there won't be any mistakes..." Lakyus analyzed, her brow furrowed. "Do you have a way to ask for help?"

This question was clearly not just a question. There was a hidden meaning.

When she had trained with the Faith Followers in E-Rantel earlier, Lakyus already knew what kind of monsters they were—a group of Magic Casters who could use Sixth Tier Magic [Greater Teleportation]. An extraordinary power.

Just like the Magic Caster Casipes who was now in the room, they set off from E-Rantel, and they must have prepared spatial coordinates in that city. If spatial coordinates were also set in the royal capital, they could immediately achieve rapid movement between the two cities, allowing for instant reinforcement.

As Lakyus expected, Cecilia nodded and said, "I have permission from God. I can ask for help from Lady Enri when needed. As long as I use First Tier Magic [Message] to contact Lady Enri, the church should send someone to support me." Her tone was full of conviction.

"Then, please contact that woman, and we will immediately begin the action after nightfall."

Lakyus said with a smile, a victorious smile.

This night seemed to arrive earlier than expected, shrouding the capital in shadows.

Near the underground brothel far from the city center, Sebas Tian looked at the sky with a slightly fluctuating expression. A small hint of hesitation was etched on his calm face.

"Is that the right thing to do?" he mumbled to himself.

He saved Tsuare and tried his best to help her conceal her whereabouts, but in the end, her existence seemed to be exposed, and she also became a target for criminals.

If the situation was allowed to continue to escalate, the covert intelligence gathering work might be forced to stop, which would undoubtedly be an action against the will of the Supreme Beings—especially Ainz Ooal Gown. This was a moral and duty dilemma.

I shouldn't have saved Tsuare in the first place. The thought flashed, a cold logic stemming from his complete obedience to Nazarick.

However, Sebas knew that this might be the best choice for Nazarick, but the throbbing in his heart came from the will of his creator, Touch Me, which pushed him not to make that choice. An agonizing inner conflict, between factional loyalty and the personal principles instilled by his creator.

So, am I also cursed? This thought crossed Sebas's mind, a terrible existential question. If his other comrades—NPCs created by the Forty-One Supreme Beings—knew about this idea, they might even attack him for being disrespectful, considering it a betrayal of Nazarick's ultimate goals.

"Now we can only try our best to make amends for this mistake."

Sebas set aside his chaotic thoughts and looked towards the underground brothel not far away. His eyes slowly became firm, and at the same time, a slight chill appeared in them. Hesitation had been replaced by determination.

He couldn't directly solve Tsuare's problem right now, but he could solve the people who caused it.

As long as we kill all the criminals in that underground brothel and cover up the matter about Tsuare, no one will come to make trouble again, right? A brutal yet effective solution.

Sebas stepped forward, his shadow lengthening under the moonlight.

Suddenly, several special figures appeared before him, making him feel confused. Who are these people? What are they doing here?
