Gazef looked at Shen Yuan approvingly, nodded, and spoke to the king.

"The Lich King is very powerful, but we can't underestimate the combined forces of the Empire and the Sorcerous Nation. In short, this battle is really disadvantageous to us. We need more troops and armed forces."

"What your Majesty said is true."

......

On the other side, the Imperial camp.

"As you expected, Your Majesty, the Sorcerer King, the Kingdom of Re-Estize has begun dispatching its troops."

After hearing the scout's report, a general with a steady temperament beside the emperor of the empire praised in a deep voice.

"The Lich King is nothing to fear. Ainz Ooal Gown is the greatest magic caster. Next, after the Sorcerer King casts his spell, I'll have the knights advance and aggravate the enemy's wounds. I'm just wondering how powerful your spell will be? It won't just be a 'Giant Fireball,' will it?"

"Blood Emperor" Gilkenif asked tentatively. Since the Sorcerer King's strength was still unknown, he wanted to verify it.

"Hmph." Momonga snorted coldly.

Suddenly, Gilkenifer felt a chill down his spine and goose bumps all over his body.

The air seemed to be turbid.

It wasn't murderous intent, but an indescribable aura.

"Don't worry, I'm not angry. On the contrary, I'm a little excited because I'm about to go to the battlefield. Also, don't underestimate the Lich King. Although I'm not afraid of him, you are far from his match."

Flying Squirrel pushed aside the cloak draped in front of his body, and the black cloak spread out with a snap, like a black wing spreading its wings.

In an instant, the atmosphere that was enveloping the surroundings, which was hard to tell whether it was cold or oppressive, also disappeared.

The feeling left behind is as if the person standing in front of me is just an ordinary person.

very scary.

This is what the imperial generals and emperor think in their hearts.

Although the general had heard that this man was like a monster, the calmness of this scene made him even more frightened, as if a large carnivore with hidden breath was approaching him.

Then it rained.

Before dawn, both sides on the battlefield had completed their deployment.

The next step is to wait for the right moment to arrive, and once the battle between the two sides begins, awaken the Scourge.

Chapter 120: Bone King: Start with super-level magic to show respect!

“Your Excellency, the Sorcerer King, I forgot one more thing.”

As the Imperial General prepared to leave the camp, he turned back to look at Momonga.

"what happened?"

"This war is supposed to begin with your magic, but I'm curious where your troops are. If it's quick, the battle will begin tomorrow morning. I'm sorry we can't wait for them to arrive before we start."

"Don't worry, they're nearby."

The general expressed his confusion, and his soldiers told him that they had not found any troops approaching the garrison.

"Sorry, uh, I might have misspoken when I said nearby. But you can understand that they're always available."

Momonga explained with difficulty.

"Is that so?" The general seemed a little unconvinced and asked, "Then how many troops do you have?"

"Probably less than five hundred."

"Five hundred men?" The general cleverly hid his disappointment, but Momonga could see what he was thinking.

"No problem, General."

At this moment, the Emperor spoke: "To demonstrate its loyalty to Ainz Ooal Gown, the Empire must shed the greatest possible blood. Therefore, the Sorcerer King's army will not be deployed unless the situation is urgent."

It's like giving Flying Squirrel a way out, Gilkenifer said.

"My subordinate understands."

The general nodded, but thinking about it calmly, this was just natural.

A mere 500 soldiers couldn't possibly do anything. They should be more like a guard of honor, mainly for show.

However, what happened next was far beyond his expectations.

"Do you hear me—Shalltear? Open a portal at my location and send the soldiers over."

Momonga shouted into the air as if casting some kind of magic.

"Well, General, here come my troops."

As he finished speaking, a dark vortex portal appeared behind Momonga.

moment.

Everything at the scene became silent.

Only an unusual atmosphere and heavy silence dominated everything, as if the sound called silence expanded all at once.

Five hundred death knights appeared, wearing armor and with helmets covering their faces. Compared with the empire's 60,000 troops, this number was really pitifully small, but the equipment of these knights was all of magical quality, so no one dared to underestimate them.

The armor on an ordinary soldier alone is more than a thousand words.

"This is my army and my battlefield commander."

Momonga cheerfully introduced himself to the speechless audience.

The person who walked out of the portal was a dark elf girl.

The moment they saw "her", Gilkenifer's face suddenly changed, and everyone's thoughts went blank.

The little girl holding the black staff is very pitiful. When she grows up, she will surely have a beauty that attracts everyone's attention, and men will do anything to win her love.

The timid expression in the moonlight reminds people of beautiful blooming flowers.

However, her hands were covered in mismatched metal gloves.

As if they were twisted off from evil creatures such as demons, the protruding and twisted spikes on the gloves look like metal, which makes people feel a strong sense of disgust in their souls.

In contrast, “her” right hand looks like the hand of a pure and innocent girl.

With pure white as the base color, it is covered with wonderful golden patterns, which enhances the beauty and brilliance. It is as if you are facing a peerless beauty and your soul is hooked away by the metal gloves.

This is the world-class item "Greed and Desirelessness", a black devil glove and a white angel glove.

And what "she" holds in her hand is the artifact-level magic item "Shadow of the World Tree", which is set to be made from the branches of the World Tree.

At this moment, the "girl" looked timidly at the existence in front of her and spoke.

"U-Um, Lord Ainz, it seems we are late."

"No, you're just in time, Mare."

Momonga introduced him openly, "This is my subordinate. If you have any problems, he can solve them."

"I see. Your Excellency, the Sorcerer King, please feel free to ask us for anything you may need. General, please do this."

Gilkenifer took a deep breath and said.

He seemed to recall the fear he felt when Mare's earthquake magic destroyed the palace.

.....

night.

Under the bright moon, in a mountainous country far away in the Katz Plains.

In a room that was not spacious but luxurious, a young girl sat on the throne, speaking in a childish voice that sounded innocent and appropriate for her age.

"Is that so? The human empire and kingdom are going to war..."

The woman who looked more like a little girl than a girl, but appeared to be very tired inside, sighed.

Although her voice was childish, she sounded like someone who had experienced a lot.

"But what you said about discovering the whereabouts of the True Dragon King, is that true?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

This little girl is the queen of the Dragon Kingdom, Drodilon Auriclus, known as the "Black Scale Dragon King".

Although she is known as the Dragon King, her fighting ability is only at the level of an ordinary person.

There are two types of Dragon Kings. One is the "True Dragon King", such as the Rotten Coffin Dragon King mentioned earlier. The other is the ordinary "Dragon King", representing the king of dragons and dragon descendants, similar to the status of kings among humans. No one can match the strength of the True Dragon King.

However, one thing needs to be made clear, that is, most dragons are descendants of the True Dragon King. For example, Derodilon is the offspring of the "Seven-Colored Dragon King" and a (baac) human female. She can be regarded as a granddaughter, and therefore has one-eighth of the True Dragon King's bloodline.

Drodilon inherited some of the characteristics of the dragon clan. Although some of them may be a degraded version, it also has the ability to delay aging, transform, and innate supernatural powers (origin magic).

"So, our Dragon Kingdom is saved!"

Derodilon looked delighted and raised her hands to her flat chest, making a gesture like a girl praying.

"Grandfather, please bless our Dragon Kingdom..."

"No, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Beside Derodilon, the man known as the 'Prime Minister' shook his head.

"why?"

"Our messenger discovered the whereabouts of the True Dragon King, but he is in the territory of the Lich King. You understand, perhaps the True Dragon King has been..."

"impossible!"

De Rodilon interrupted the Prime Minister and glared at the man with dissatisfaction.

"The Dragon Kingdom is on the verge of extinction. The orcs' invasion is unlike any before. They will break through our defenses and devour our citizens. Our nation is in imminent danger and could be destroyed at any moment... We need the power of the True Dragon King to change this. Even the Lich King can't defeat the True Dragon King!"

"Having said that, if you continue like this, I can only say that you will take on that form. I believe that negotiating with the Lich King is not a good option, and it can even be dangerous."

Upon hearing about the current situation of the Dragon Kingdom, a solemn silence fell in the room.

"That's true, but is there a way to divert the disaster to the Orc Kingdom and let the Lich King reduce some of their combat power?"

"After the Beast Kingdom falls, how can we resist the Lich King's attacks?"

"do not know."

Drodilon replied simply, "Perhaps the Sorcerous Kingdom can help us? If that doesn't work, we can seek reinforcements from the Silian Theocracy. The people of the Silian Theocracy have always been hostile to demihumans, and compared to us dragonborn, orcs are even more disgusting."

"Your Majesty, there is actually another way."

The Prime Minister was silent for a moment, then spoke, "The Crystal Tears, the only adamantine-grade adventurer team in the Dragon Kingdom, include a member named 'Sparkling' Celebre. He excels in wielding the Radiant Sword and holds the rank of Lord of the Holy."

"However," the Prime Minister changed his tone at this point, "He might be a lolita fan. He kept staring at you and lingering during the audience with Your Majesty. With all due respect, although this is his sexual fetish, even if he is a lolita fan, he is still the only Adamantium-level adventurer in our country. If you are wronged for no reason..."

"Forget it! I'd rather die than be with that pervert! Rather than let that pervert abuse me, I'd rather join the Lich King!"

Derodilon's face twitched.

"That's... indeed. Our country's adamantium-grade... it would be better if it were a little more presentable. But seriously, Your Majesty, if you were just a little cute, pretending to be a pure and innocent little girl, they might volunteer to fight to the death, without your sacrifice at all."

"Shut up..." The prime minister's words made De Luodilong furious.

But she really had no choice.

Faced with the threat of orcs, the Dragon Kingdom, which is on the verge of extinction, has no choice but to turn its attention to any country that can seek help, even... the undead.

"I wish I knew [Origin Magic]."

Drodilon smiled bitterly and said, "Although I have inherited the bloodline of the True Dragon King, I simply cannot control this power. If things go wrong, I might as well sacrifice the souls of millions of my countrymen, which would only hasten the demise of my country. Well, if it really comes to the point of national destruction, I might as well just destroy myself along with the world."

“I hope that day will never come!”

Seeing De Luodilong saying these words in despair, the Prime Minister looked at her coldly, as if to say, "If you had sold your body, you wouldn't have fallen to such a state."

But seriously, if Drodilon sacrificed a million citizens to use [Origin Magic] and imitated a skill similar to the "Ultimate Big Bang", the power would be enough to raze a country to the ground in an instant.

However, she was much more fragile than the True Dragon King, and if she used this kind of magic, the sacrifices she would incur would not be worth the gain.

No matter what, facing a hellish future—

Derodilon set his sights on the empire and kingdom that were about to go to war, trying to seek the possibility of an alliance from these two countries, because if he sent troops to help them at the critical moment, they would probably help him in return.
