Overlord: I’ve Been Recruiting Followers in Another World

In the central temple of the Holy City of Destiny, Kael leaned very lazily on a sofa and listened to Enri Emmot reporting surveillance information about the wetlands in the northern part of the Great Forest of Tob.

"Yesterday afternoon, a Soul Eater Demon appeared at the Lizardman race's Green Claw and issued a declaration of war to the Lizardmen."

"The content of the declaration is most likely to unite all Lizardmen, then engage in battle with the Great Tomb of Nazarick's army to determine the fate of the Lizardman race. If the Lizardmen win, the Great Tomb of Nazarick will completely withdraw. If not, the Lizardmen will accept their domination."

After the report, Enri stood silently, awaiting Kael's opinion on how to deal with it.

To be honest, when she was asked to arrange personnel to monitor the Great Forest of Tob and the Great Wetlands previously, she didn't quite understand why God Kael was paying attention to these two places.

Now, she seemed to understand a little.

The "Great Tomb of Nazarick" organization was dangerous. As long as it involved them, nothing would be a trivial matter and had to be handled carefully.

After waiting for a while, Kael didn't respond, as if his thoughts were wandering. Enri couldn't help but speak again, "God Kael, are we going to send people to help the Lizardmen?"

"Huh?"

Kael returned to his senses at that moment. After a moment of thought, he replied, "Aid should be given, but you still need to plan. You can't openly send troops."

He had been thinking about some details just now, and he had probably made a certain judgment.

The Great Tomb of Nazarick sent troops to attack the Lizardmen. It looked similar to the trajectory in the original work, but in fact, the situation was different.

The basis for this conclusion was Nazarick's attitude towards the Lizardmen.

In the original, Ainz sent Cocytus to attack the Lizardmen, mainly to reform the NPCs' rigid thinking patterns and develop their ability to handle matters independently.

In the final analysis, this was just practice, and Nazarick's side could be described as being at ease. Ainz himself didn't care about the outcome of the war or the lives or deaths of the Lizardmen.

And now, Nazarick's goal in attacking the Lizardmen was to conquer and take them for their own use.

Since this was the goal, the probability that Nazarick would send low-tier undead troops to fight as in the original work was very low. There was a high probability that they would directly send high-tier undead troops to show overwhelming power to the Lizardmen and completely crush their resistance.

Kael actually didn't care much about the lives or deaths of the Lizardmen. He only truly cared whether Nazarick's high-tier NPCs would fight.

And this posed a rather troublesome problem.

Because the Lizardmen were too weak to fight, a legion of undead that was extremely powerful to them might just be a group of fodder-tier soldiers in the eyes of full-tier combat forces.

If Ainz and the others only sent such fodder-tier troops to attack the Lizardmen, then this war would be meaningless to Kael.

If you send personnel to defeat fodder-tier soldiers, then the NPCs or Ainz who are secretly commanding the battle will not appear. At most, he would only gain the gratitude of a handful of Lizardmen.

"If it's just a group of Lizardmen, the benefits of action will be very low. At most, they can only be used for experiments and the like. He's not lacking such people yet!"

So the best situation was to let the Lizardmen invisibly repel Nazarick's pioneering legion, without receiving external assistance. This would lure out Guardian-level individuals, and then he would wait for an opportunity to ambush Nazarick.

It wasn't so easy to complete this fishing job, and he wasn't very confident, so he had to try.

In addition, he thought about what he had previously discussed with Marquis Raven.

Currently, the Church of Destiny had sent people to Raven's territory to prepare for the rescue operation of his wife and son.

Similar to this Lizardman incident, Kael planned to arrange for some ordinary adventurers to contact Raven's family to see if they could capture the secret observers.

Now that there was an opportunity, it would be good to do two things at once and perform a series of combo blows.

After considering this, Kael gave orders to Enri.

"Enri, please contact the Holy Kingdom and inform them about the Great Tomb of Nazarick's activities in the Re-Estize Kingdom and the Great Forest of Tob. Then add another message, saying that we have found a suspected fortress of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. Let them send people to discuss the relevant exploration matters."

Enri was slightly surprised to hear this.

Although the Church of Destiny had established a dedicated investigation department for Nazarick, she occasionally inquired about the investigation department's progress, but she had never heard of the discovery of information about Nazarick's fortress.

Could it be that God Kael was intentionally lying because he wanted to involve the Holy Kingdom in this matter?

Seeing her suspicious expression, Kael felt a little amused, "Is there a problem?"

"....God Kael, have we really found the location of the Great Tomb of Nazarick?"

"Indeed."

Enri was relieved to hear this.

Since Kael was certain, she naturally would have no more doubts and would immediately depart.

Watching Enri's back as she left, Kael couldn't help but smile and shake his head, then used message magic.

"God Kael, do you have something for me?"

The other end of the magic connection heard Lakyus's voice.

Since she was familiar with the situation in the kingdom, Kael assigned her to rescue Marquis Raven's family.

"Lakyus, please take a break from things there and don't take action yet."

"Why is this?"

Hearing Kael's sudden change of heart, Lakyus asked in confusion.

Kael didn't plan to explain to her through magic communication. He explained, "I can't explain this matter with just a few words. You should first arrange for people to quietly observe Marquis Raven's family to ensure they are not in danger."

"Then come back, and I will tell you the current situation, and we will reformulate the plan of action."

"I see." Lakyus suddenly understood.

Since Kael had no intention of abandoning Marquis Raven's family, he said that he would not let the kingdom's affairs go unnoticed.

Under this broad premise, it was not surprising that the plan of action had to be changed depending on unexpected developments.

"Wait a moment, after I arrange the escort, I will return to the Holy City to meet you."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the temple."

Kael explained the meeting place to Lakyus, then deactivated the magic effect without waiting for Lakyus to reply.

Lakyus, far away in the Holy City, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. After coming back to her senses, her face quickly flushed.

"Huh? Lakyus, what's wrong with you?"

Of course, those were some of the Blue Roses who followed Lakyus. Seeing her face suddenly change, Gagaran asked with concern.

Lakyus quickly raised her hands and answered with a slight panic, "No... Nothing, I'm fine!"
