Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow.

Chapter 352: Capture Albedo
That's right. Reed sent out the corresponding personnel to use eye techniques to suppress these irrelevant undead, to prevent them from passing the news back to the Great Tomb of Nazarick when Alpha recaptured Albedo.

The massive energy fluctuations around the convoy certainly could not be hidden from Albedo who was sitting in the car.

Albedo, who was already on guard, immediately put on the divine armor Hermes Triss Magistus.

But just as she was about to get dressed, a light appeared in the dark carriage.

The next second, Albedo found that her body was restrained by an extremely strong force, and even if she struggled desperately, she could not move at all.

At the back of the carriage, Claire's shadow had completely covered Albedo's shadow cast by the light, but the immortal power in her body was also boiling. It seemed that suppressing Albedo was not an easy task.

Such a powerful fluctuation of power was equivalent to telling Albedo that someone behind her was using a certain skill, and it was this skill that restricted her actions.

But even so, Albedo did not panic, but mobilized her magic power and poured it into the transfer item that Momonga gave her before they set off.

Since the situation was unfavorable, Albedo didn't want to continue to pester her. After all, the purpose of her trip was the same as that of Reed sending Laqiusi to the Council State. She was suspected of acting as bait.

Even if Li De had not been thoughtful and used his pupil technique to suppress the skeleton soldiers right from the start, Fei Shu would probably have gotten the news by now.

As for why Albedo didn't use a message to inform Momonga, it wasn't because she didn't want to, but because she couldn't.

Even the magic power that was infused into the transfer item was extracted from Albedo's body with great difficulty.

Do you really think that Claire, the Shadow Queen, has weak control abilities?

Don’t forget that Claire has begun to understand the rules!
If it wasn't for suppressing the magic power and even the spiritual will in Albedo's body, simply restraining her body would not have caused Claire to go all out.

Fortunately, Albedo's own strength is very strong in resisting mental constraints, otherwise her head would have been dizzy and she would have lost the ability to resist.

However, even if Albedo's mental resistance is higher than Reed and others expected, it is still useless.

Because after her magic power was poured into the item, no spatial fluctuations were generated.

At this moment, outside the carriage that she could not see, several figures with circles and magatama patterns in their eye sockets surrounded the entire convoy.

At this moment, let alone ordinary transfer props, even if Flying Squirrel's world-class prop - the Map of Mountains and Rivers and the State - was placed here, he could not use it smoothly under the interference of the Six Magatama's Samsara Eye.

Another second passed, and a dragon of light composed entirely of some kind of energy penetrated the door of the carriage and accurately hit Albedo, who was unable to move at all.

Just when Albedo thought she was doomed, she felt some kind of thought brought by the light dragon pouring into her brain.

Damn, this is .
The thinking stopped here.

"Albedo!" Alpha's voice rang in Albedo's mind.

"Master, I'm here!" Albedo replied in an unusually respectful voice.

"Remember what I say next." Alpha's voice began to enter Albedo's mind.

Less than two minutes later, after being told what to do, Albedo nodded and said, "As you command, Master."

“Then let’s return to E-Rantel!” Alpha said, and his voice disappeared.

The next second, the darkness that enveloped the visiting delegation's convoy receded, and was replaced by an extremely powerful and sacred light.

The skeleton soldiers around the convoy didn't even have the slightest resistance and turned directly into dust under the purifying light.

"Ah" Albedo, who was also illuminated by the purifying light, screamed and disappeared in the carriage.

The next second, when Albedo appeared again, she had already returned to the lord's mansion in E-Rantel.

The screams that hadn't stopped were heard clearly by Momonga who was behind the desk.

"Albedo, what's wrong?" Momonga was very concerned about Albedo who suddenly appeared.

After all, there were obvious signs of burning on her body. Although these signs had completely disappeared when he spoke, Momonga knew too well why Albedo appeared in the study at this moment.

“Lord Ainz, I'm fine!” Shaking her head, Albedo had a somewhat pitiful expression, which made Momonga even angrier and more distressed.

"Albedo, what exactly happened?" Momonga asked in a deep voice.

“I’m sorry, Master Ainz, the attack was too sudden. I don’t know what happened. The convoy was still moving forward one second, but the next second, extremely powerful holy light enveloped the entire convoy.

The skeleton knights and undead horses that were escorting me disappeared in an instant. I was suddenly unable to move in the carriage. Not only could I not wear armor, but I was also burned by the strong holy light. I had no choice but to use the transfer items that Lord Ainz had given me to return.

"I have no complaints no matter how you punish me for this misbehavior. But please be magnanimous and give me a chance to wash away the shame and save my face." Albedo bowed her head and begged for forgiveness.

"Albedo, I forgive all your mistakes. Besides, the purpose of this time was originally a test, and it was really hard for you to act as bait." Momonga hurriedly spoke to comfort her.

“It wasn’t hard. I just failed to help Ainz-sama gather any information and returned in disgrace. I really didn’t live up to the expectations of the Supreme Being.” Albedo’s tone became high when she said this.

"Albedo, I just said that I forgive all your mistakes. And you did bring back information. At least through this raid, we learned that the other party has mastered extremely powerful binding skills and faith skills against the undead." Momonga comforted Albedo again.

"Lord Ainz, you have such a broad mind." When it was time to flatter, Albedo said it without any inappropriateness.

Even though her will was twisted by 'The Most Beautiful Woman', the habits formed by her body cannot be changed in a few minutes.

So even though I feel extremely disgusted at the moment, the words I said before that I am used to it will not be stuck because of this disgust.

After Albedo finished complimenting him, Momonga called Demiurge over via text message. "Albedo, describe your feelings to me in detail." Demiurge realized that something unexpected had happened when he saw Albedo returning alone.

After all, Albedo had originally gone out fishing just like Laqius.

According to the previous plan, she should have resisted the attack while contacting the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and then Demiurge would lead the team to reinforce.

"This is the situation." Albedo repeated it again.

"The body is bound by the strong holy light?" Demiurge couldn't help but murmured after hearing it.

"Not only my body, I feel that the flow of magic power is much slower than usual, and my mental will also feels suppressed." Albedo described in detail how she felt when she was tied up by Claire.

After all, she knew too well how smart Demiurge was, and lies wouldn't work in front of him.

"It looks like a very troublesome skill. Besides, the Holy Light cannot be ignored." Demiurge couldn't help but frowned after hearing this.

After all, it goes without saying that the opponent's skills are so powerful that they forced Albedo to run away.

"Demiurge, what do you think of this raid?" Momonga then asked in a deep voice.

“Lord Ainz, I think the other party attacked the visiting group this time because they don’t want us to put too much pressure on the Kingdom of Re-Estize. That’s why they don’t want us to reach Rolente City.” Demiurge said after thinking for a moment.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"So how do you think we should deal with this?" Momonga continued to ask.

"Lord Ainz, I think the most important thing to do right now is to find out the other party's identity first. I want to go to Rolenti City to see if I can get the information we need from that collaborator." Demiurge said after thinking for a while.

"That's good. Let's take that thing to her as well. After all, Albedo can't go to Lorenti City this time." Momonga nodded.

“I understand, Lord Ainz!” Demiurge nodded.

“Lord Ainz, can you let me go to Lorenti Castle? I really want to make up for my previous loss of composure.” Albedo immediately spoke.

"Let Demiurge go! Albedo, I have more important things for you to do." After Momonga finished the first sentence and noticed that Albedo's expression was extremely disappointed, he immediately added another sentence.

“Lord Ainz, I don’t know what you want me to do, but Albedo will do my best. No, I will fight for my life.” Albedo said excitedly.

"Albedo, don't be so excited. Here's what's going on. After discussing with Demiurge, we decided to wait and see. So I need you to return to the Great Tomb of Nazarick and inspect every floor carefully and be prepared to fight against the foreign enemies." Momonga explained hurriedly.

"Lure the enemy into the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and use the advantage of the terrain to annihilate them? Demiurge, why do you allow those inferior races to invade the Supreme again and again?" Albedo had just said this when she was interrupted by Momonga.

"Albedo, the current situation requires those forces hidden in the dark to take the initiative to jump out, otherwise we will always be passive. I understand your feelings, but I have made up my mind." Momonga said in a serious tone.

“Since this is Lord Ainz’s decision, I will do my best to prepare for war. Demiurge, this is the reincarnation item that Lord Ainz asked me to bring to Princess Lana. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to meet the princess this time.” After Albedo finished speaking, she took out a item from her own dimension and handed it to Demiurge.

“Albedo, there will be time later. Then, Lord Ainz, without further ado, I will be leaving now.” Demiurge said after taking the tool.

"Okay!" Momonga nodded.

As for what to do with Erantel's government affairs after his right-hand men left, that was no longer within Momonga's consideration at the moment.

After all, no matter how well Yelantier is managed now, it will have to be given up when the Grand Alliance coalition arrives.

Because E-Rantel is the closest military base of the Grand Alliance to the Great Tomb of Nazarick. If the Great Tomb of Nazarick continues to occupy it, the retreat of the coalition forces will be threatened at any time.

Anyone who is not an arrogant fool will capture E-Rantel before attacking the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

And since he had decided to retreat completely and take advantage of the Great Tomb of Nazarick to fight the Grand Alliance, Momonga naturally had no intention of worrying about E-Rantel anymore.

Momonga made up his mind that once the news of the formation of the Grand Alliance came, he would withdraw the troops from the Great Tomb of Nazarick and hand over E-Rantel to the garrison of his ally, the Baharus Empire.

Its main purpose is to see the response attitude of the Bahas Empire.

After all, the attitude currently revealed by His Majesty Gilkenifer is quite different from what Demiurge had guessed before.

Especially after Fluda was resurrected, Gilkenifer still let him sit in the Ministry of Magic and maintain his absolute influence in the empire, as if the previous betrayal had never happened.

Not only that, he also collected information about several floor guardians through Fluda, and worked hard to befriend Aura, the Mare siblings, and Sebastian.

The most important thing is that this series of actions did not conceal the slightest bit, but instead acted as if they were afraid that they didn't know.

According to Demiurge's judgment, the Blood Emperor probably changed his mind after being reminded by Rose who had left.

But the specific situation depends on the attitude shown at the critical moment. This is why Momonga intends to hand over Erantel to the Baharus Empire for garrison.

Precisely because he was planning to abandon the newly acquired territory of E-Rantel, Momonga had no hesitation in having Albedo return to the Great Tomb of Nazarick to inspect each floor and prepare for war.

On the other side, that night in the royal palace of Rolenti City, Demiurge met Princess Lana.

"I'm very sorry, Lord Demiurge. I knew nothing about the attack on the visiting delegation. Even the news hasn't reached the royal capital yet." In response to Demiurge's question, Lana simply shook her head.

"Then can you confirm that the brave Milia has really left the Kingdom of Re-Estize?" Demiurge continued to ask.

"Yes, because Laqiusi of the Blue Rose is my childhood friend. Her following the Hero Milia not only represents the attitude of the Kingdom of Re-Estize, but also serves as a form of surveillance. Therefore, I can be sure that this attack has nothing to do with the Hero Milia herself.

In addition, after the battle of Katz Plain, the hero has entered the sight of all the high-ranking officials in the kingdom. There are too many people watching her. In this case, no matter who comes into contact with her, it is impossible to escape the sight of the entire capital. So I can be sure that she has been alone recently. "Lana nodded very confidently.
