Reincarnated in another world, I also want to be invincible at the beginning

The adjutant showed a relieved smile on his face, an expression that was as if he had let go of all his obsessions and was redeemed. Seeing his expression, Gazef realized that it was impossible to convince him. He had been completely brainwashed, and the only way to help him now was to kill him.

"I will take care of your wife and children!"

"That's not necessary!"

Bang! The two exchanged swordsmanship. Gazef's original strength was higher than his adjutant's, but now his adjutant had received the bonus from the ritual, and his strength had increased, so his attribute values ​​had surpassed Gazef's. However, even though his attribute values ​​were higher, the warrior captain still had the advantage in swordsmanship.

However, there was more than one lieutenant under control. The Knight-Captain's other confidants were also controlled. Even though his swordsmanship was superior to theirs, Gazef was suppressed and unable to move when dealing with multiple masters with higher attribute values ​​than himself, let alone command the army.

Not far from the battlefield here, a little knight in silver-white armor was surrounded by several companions who were also brainwashed. His usual jealousy broke out without reservation at this moment, and he hated this "lucky guy".

"How dare a loser like you step onto the battlefield? Do you think that you are just lucky and wearing high-end equipment, and that you can become a hero of the country by making great contributions on the battlefield? Don't be ridiculous, just looking at losers like you makes me want to vomit! You are a guy without talent and self-awareness. People like you should just be a princess's dog! You even dream of marrying a princess. Seeing losers like you riding on our heads makes us feel that this country is hopeless!"

"You guys... woo!"

Climb was knocked to the ground easily. If his enemy hadn’t intended to kill him so easily, he would have been dead by now. The difference in strength was too great, and he couldn’t even keep up with his opponent’s attack speed.

"Don't worry, we will send the princess and her family down to reunite with you later, hahahaha."

That kind of thing...

Absolutely, absolutely not letting it happen!

Climb looked at his enemy with ferocious eyes.

But when the opponent saw his posture, he just smiled contemptuously and stretched out a sword. Climb tried his best to block the sword, but when he swung the sword in his hand, the opponent changed direction in an instant and easily bypassed his counterattack.

Looking at the sharp edge getting closer and closer.

Climb felt cold all over.

No, there is no way I can win.

Swish!

"Ugh!"

The knight who attacked Climb had his neck slashed by the man who suddenly appeared, and was thrown into the chaotic battle. Then, an explosion provided a new sacrifice for the ceremony.

Climb looked at the mysterious master who appeared before him.

This figure was the one he had seen in the video before—the cult member who had invaded Ainz Ooal Gown's guild! Climb stared at No. 10 in amazement.

Number 10 looked at Climb in front of him, nodded, and said, “Yes, it’s you. Number 1 asked me to protect you. I advise you not to resist meaninglessly. Number 1 wants to see you… No, Lana wants to see you. It should be easier for you to understand if I put it this way.”

"Princess?!"

"He should be a candidate for the Archbishop, but it doesn't matter. Do you want to come with me on your own, or do you want me to knock you out and take you away? Make your choice."

Clem couldn't believe what he heard. Princess Lana was actually the bishop of a cult—even a candidate for archbishop—how ​​could such a thing be true? Because, because that princess was so kind and caring for the people, how could Princess Lana join a cult that wanted to destroy the world!

“Boy Clem! Damn it, stay away from that guy over there!” The Kingdom’s Steel-class adventurer team Blue Rose is coming to support this side. Although the first person they want to support is the Warrior Captain, Clem is an acquaintance of them and there is no way he would just stand by and watch him die.

No. 10 said coldly: "If you don't make a decision quickly, they will die in my hands. Even if they don't die in my hands, they will die in

No. 1, your princess's plan."

"I'll go with you."

Climb knew that the man was telling the truth. Although the Blue Rose Team was very strong, the feeling this man gave him was completely different.

He also wanted to know about Princess Lana's situation. He hoped that what No. 10 said was a lie, but he knew even more clearly that he was not worth being deceived, and No. 10 had no reason to deceive him.

Because on this battlefield, he can play no role at all and may die at any time.

[Chapter 102: The Knight's Fall]

Take advantage of the chaos.

No. 10 and No. 9 worked together to complete No. 1's request and rescued Clem, who was almost killed by his "comrade". In the underground of the ruins, the little knight met the master he was loyal to, the princess who was once called the Golden Princess and now the candidate for the Archbishop of the Church of the Dusk Goddess, whom he regarded as the existence of light.

"Princess, you actually..."

Clem still couldn't believe it. He even suspected that the Princess Lana in front of him was a fake, but he couldn't deceive himself. The figure in front of him was undoubtedly the master he chose to be loyal to. Even if he didn't want to believe it, the facts were so dramatic.

“That’s great~ Climb, you’re safe. I’ve always been worried that something might happen to you. I told you not to participate in this battle, so why didn’t you listen?”

"So, you are..."

Lana smiled seductively. It was hard to imagine that the princess who was once so noble and pure would have such an expression. Climb felt something in his heart breaking, and he felt extremely sad.

"Ah, yes, I am indeed the bishop of the Goddess Church, and I also designed this battle plan."

"Why would you do such a thing!?"

Climb shouted, "Where is the Princess Lana? The princess who wanted to improve the country's environment and make people's lives better..."

"That kind of person never existed to begin with."

“Eh…?”

“So, the perfect princess you imagined, Climb, never existed in the first place. That was just a role I played to please you. That’s all. I didn’t act because I wanted to improve the country or help the civilians, because I never had that kind of feeling in the first place. I only acted this way because that’s how I should be in your eyes, Climb.”

Princess Lana felt both sad and happy when she saw Clem's collapsed expression. She wanted to go up to him and comfort him, but she couldn't help revealing a mocking smile on her face.

“From the beginning, I knew that my proposal would not be passed. Even if I banned the slave trade, it would not stop the nobles and dark merchants from continuing to do this. If you were not so expectant, Climb, I would not have done these things.”

"because I?"

Clem felt cruel, yet extremely pathetic at the same time. Although he had been suppressing this feeling in his heart, his admiration for the princess undoubtedly included an inappropriate love.

It's just because he knows that he is not worthy, so he has been suppressing this feeling. But now is not the time to think about such things. What Princess Lana is doing now is definitely wrong, he has to stop it!

Climb said seriously, “If I ask you to stop this right now…”

"Stop talking."

Lana interrupted Climb coldly.

She looked down at the knight.

"Climb, your thoughts are inappropriate. Don't forget that your life belongs to me. You are just my dog, and I am your master. I may find a way to make you happy, but you are not qualified to ask anything of me. It is better for you to stand on my side now, right? Or are you going to betray me here and raise your sword against me, your master?"

"..."

Climb finally realized at this moment that he had never understood the princess. No, the memory of their first meeting came back to him. The princess had the same look in her eyes as now. But because the princess later behaved like a normal person, or even more cheerful than a normal person, he automatically ignored the princess at that time.

It turns out that he was the one who was abnormal from the beginning, and he was the one who was dreaming.

“Climb, fight for me. That’s why I asked them to bring you here. If you lack strength, I will give you strength. Right now, I can do this for you. I can make you a knight stronger than the Warrior Captain.”

Climb looked at the princess's face.

He really wanted to agree, but his rationality would not allow him to fall. This kind of thing was absolutely wrong. Although he could not be the enemy of the princess, he would not help the princess to do evil. He could no longer continue fighting.

Lana saw Clem's desperate look, sighed, walked behind him, hugged Clem, and whispered in his ear: "Even if I will be killed, you are not willing to fight for me?"

Climb regained consciousness and clenched his fists.

So cunning.

To him, Princess Lana is his whole world, and protecting Princess Lana is the meaning of his existence. Even if he knows that it is wrong to continue like this,

If he had to choose between justice and Princess Lana, there was no choice for him.

Because his answer never changed.

Climb said with tears in his eyes:

"...Please give me strength."

Princess Lana smiled like a devil and gently held Climb's hand.

Gospel revelation.

It is different from brainwashing and forced conversion.

This is the correct process of joining the church now.

No. 1's brainwashing is not perfect, otherwise the Kingdom Army would have been wiped out by now. After all, if the believers are truly enlightened, they will do whatever it takes to win. If self-destruction brings the highest benefits, they will self-destruct without hesitation. However, the believers who have just been brainwashed are still obsessed with life and will not take the initiative to self-destruct. Although as long as time goes by, they will slowly become real believers, but it is obvious that they are just pawns used to create chaos.

And the true gospel revelation.

It can only be accomplished after one has become aware and made a choice. The higher the level of awareness and faith, the stronger the gospel that can be obtained.

Clem has already made up his mind at this moment. In the choice between justice and the princess, he chose the princess. As long as it is for the princess, he can be an enemy of everyone. This kind of awareness meets the conditions for revelation.

While Climb was receiving the gospel revelation, Lana came to the center of the ceremony, where the three archbishops were directing the battle. Due to No. 10's ability, the decapitation operation that the opponent wanted to carry out had not yet had the opportunity.

They couldn't find the center of the formation.

Couldn't find their location either.

"Now how effective is the ritual?"

“We have entered the third stage.”

Nxulei looked very happy.

As expected, No. 1 is the most suitable candidate to become the Archbishop. The ceremony has reached the third stage so quickly and is not far from the ultimate sixth stage.

Lana nodded. "That means we are only one stage away from summoning the complete Archangel of Judgment. But for now, let's summon the Angel Legion first. Those undead are too much of a hindrance."

Although those undead can also serve as sacrifices, because they are summoned creatures, the contribution they provide is not as great as that of a civilian. These guys are extremely strong. If the undead army is allowed to break in, their location may be discovered by those people even with the ability of No. 10.

[Chapter 103: Can’t Wait Any Longer]

Over the battlefield.

"The battle line has been broken. Does it matter? Our tactics have been completely seen through." Juesi Jueming said, entwining his fingers with the hair on his chest. "We may not be able to hold the battle line before we find the magic caster."

Suzuki Satoru and the Platinum Dragon King watched the battle below in silence. What Juesi Jueming said was right. The enemy knew all of their arrangements in advance. If his guess was correct, there should be spies from the enemy among the people who attended the meeting. The Platinum Dragon King looked at Astraea, who had an expressionless face. The most suspicious person here was the Sword Saint. Although this was just his intuition, the Sword Saint's strength improvement was too unusual.

Even if he had a world protection skill comparable to the origin magic, it would not be possible to improve so quickly. But if it was the host of the evil god, then in order to become the flesh of the god, it was understandable that his strength could be improved so quickly. However, he had no evidence to prove that the sword saint Astraea was the spy. In the previous battle, the sword saint had destroyed many data points of the goddess cult and made many contributions to resisting the invasion of the evil cult. If he doubted the sword saint without evidence, he would probably not get a single supporter if he said this idea.

Ignoring the suspicious look from the Platinum Dragon King, Tsukasa asked Ainz Ooal Gown, "How should we do this? If you want to rescue the front line, I can cast magic at this distance to annihilate the enemy troops below. But then, what you are worried about might happen. However, a lot of this sacrificial magic has already accumulated, and if we continue to wait, it will only get worse."

"There is something I am very concerned about. Just now, the bishop of the Goddess Church suddenly appeared and took away the young knight next to the kingdom's warrior-captain. And according to our report, the boy followed the other party voluntarily." Suzuki Satoru received the report from Demigod. Although he let Xiaodi accept tactical arrangements downstairs, in fact, Xiaodi and his men also had the task of monitoring the coalition forces in secret. With the methods of the Goddess Church, he did not think that everyone in the coalition forces could be trusted.

The Platinum Dragon King said, "Could it be the effect of brainwashing? Now the kingdom's troops have completely collapsed, and more than half of them have rebelled. The opponent's magic casters will use advanced brainwashing magic."

"It is true that he is brainwashed, but what concerns me is why the Goddess Church took the knight away instead of killing him. According to the information I know, the knight himself is not outstanding. He is only kept by the kingdom's warrior-captain because he has a certain status as the princess's attendant. Why would the Goddess Church take away such a person who has no influence on the battle situation? There is only one reason I can think of, and that is that this knight was originally a member of the Goddess Church." Suzuki Satoru's tone was a little angry.

Si was a little confused. In her impression, Ainz Ooal Gown was not someone who got angry so easily. Unless there was something else besides this incident,

situation.

"The information we got about the Goddess Cult before was obtained from the princess of the kingdom, but in the end, because of that information, we focused our investigation on the Eight Fingers organization, allowing the Goddess Cult to take the opportunity to hide. Maybe the princess was a member of the Goddess Cult from the beginning!"

Hearing his words, the Platinum Dragon King looked at Astraea in doubt. Could he have guessed wrong?

The spy was not Astraea, but the little knight beside the kingdom's warrior-captain? Compared with his own intuition, Ainz Ooal Gown suspected the little knight and the princess of the kingdom, and that was proven by facts.

At this moment, Suzuki Satoru was filled with anger.

It was a mistake. He had never considered the possibility that the kingdom had already been invaded by the Goddess Cult.

Therefore, the chaos below was completely part of the enemy's plan, and he actually handed over such an important task as commanding the coalition forces to the Kingdom Warrior Captain.

Although the Kingdom Warrior Captain was indeed the best candidate in terms of ability, this move was what the enemy wanted to see the most. It not only defeated the Kingdom Army that was originally planned, but also delayed the commander of the joint front. If it weren't for the timely support of the fine steel adventurer team Cang Qiangwei, the Kingdom Warrior Captain would have become one of the sacrifices.

He planned for the worst.

He needs to take the most responsibility for this battle!

Because the person who appointed the Kingdom Warrior Captain as the commander was the commander of his united front. Although his judgment of people was correct, compared with the enemy commander, his ideas were too naive.

Wars in reality are different from those in games. It is not just about the superiority and inferiority of the arms and the level difference of the players. The most important thing is information! In this regard, he had no idea about the layout of the Goddess Church. However, the commander of the Goddess Church had already thought of the idea that he might reuse the Kingdom Warrior Captain. From the beginning, the Kingdom Warrior Captain was a bait sent by the other party.

The other party is very good at calculating.

Compared to his own little tricks, the military advisor behind the Goddess Cult obviously has a greater strategic vision. It would be impossible to achieve this if he had not received professional courses. This is also the biggest reason why he suspected that the princess of the kingdom was a member of the Goddess Cult.

Obviously, the Kingdom's troops became the enemy's breakthrough point. If they had not been prepared in advance, it would not have been so smooth. The person who arranged this tactic must be someone from the Kingdom. If we add the brainwashing ability and the identity of the little knight, then there is no doubt that the mastermind is the princess.

The other party never thought about hiding it.

Suzuki Satoru could guess what the other party was thinking at the moment. The sacrificial magic below had accumulated quite a lot of sacrifices, and many of them were high-level professionals who could provide energy far exceeding that of ordinary people. If he guessed correctly, the other party would summon angels next to continue to increase the current advantage.

"We can't wait any longer. Let's split up and act separately. One of these five leyline nodes must be the hiding place of the magic caster."

Suzuki Satoru announced the results of his scan. His original plan was to wait until the exact location was found and then attack together. With their combined strength, no matter what arrangements the enemy made, they would not be able to stop them. However, he did not have time to continue searching.

Juesi Jueming smiled and said, "Then leave this place to me. I can handle it alone."

After she finished speaking, she quickly descended towards that location, with no intention of cooperating with others.

The Platinum Dragon King also randomly chose a spot, then looked at Astraea without saying a word, and then also turned into a meteor and descended.
