The Principality of Bajas knew its weakness and actively prepared for war.
However, in this world where individual abilities can subvert numbers, the expansion of basic combat power is ultimately not enough. They are also strengthening border defenses and trying to recruit talented people like a lucky draw.
Against this important background, E-Rantel, which had temporarily become an important fortress city on the border of the Principality of Bajas, suddenly began to build a third city wall outside the city area that expanded to the outside of the outer city.
Each town within the city wall has its own unique characteristics. The innermost city is naturally the administrative center, the middle city that originally belonged to the outer city is the national living area and E-Rantel's barracks, and the outermost is E-Rantel's military center.
Originally, the buffer zone between major powers developed commercial value, and after the independence of the country, a trading area and a floating population residential area were set up, as well as a cemetery that was almost the same as a small fortress. Now the cemetery will also be turned into a part of the new city wall.
Behind the building of the city gate is a large square in the trade area. It is also a place where many people set up stalls and sell various commodities that are highly valued by the people, such as grains, vegetables, fresh meats and prepared foods.
Precisely because this place has become an independent city for many generations, even though the current situation has become quite tense, the people here feel that the war has nothing to do with them. When the authorities saw the principality's troops marching in, they surrendered without resistance, and people continued to do the same.
In daily life, the addition of a city wall reduces the number of roads and stricter inspections for entering and exiting the city, which makes people somewhat complain.
However, the owners of the mobile vendors were still shouting at passers-by in an imposing manner, the vegetable buyers and the vegetable sellers were haggling loudly, and there were also loud sounds of barbecue and fried food being cooked.
However, the moment the two people who exuded a great sense of presence passed through the new city gate and stepped into the square, the surroundings were almost silent, and many people who had nothing to do were still standing there blankly.
The pair of people who seemed to be partners did exude such an eye-catching presence, but their gender could not be distinguished.
One of them was wearing a uniform that looked like a knight's uniform, and anyone could tell that it was expensive. He was about ten years old, and his eye tails and eyelashes were very long and slender. His eyes were like gems, his face was pretty, and his hair was almost light.
Gray and light purple, the ponytail tied on the back of the head reaches to the knee joint. It is a neutral dress that is suitable for everyone. It is not clear whether she is a beauty in men's clothing or a handsome boy. With this appearance, although the temperament is not very good, she still looks very elegant, making anyone
One can't help but take a second look.
The gender of the other person cannot be seen for another reason. That person is tall and tall, wearing a gorgeous full-body black armor with gold and purple patterns. Through the tiny gap in the full-face helmet, the facial features inside cannot be seen. Under the red cloak, you can see the
The two two-handed broadswords on his back complement his unruly and unruly style in his behavior and dress.
After the two people walked through the square, people started talking about them.
"A combination of the Dark Warrior and the Pretty Boy Knight?"
"I think that might be a magic caster. Look at those thin arms, how do they look like a knight?"
"Perhaps they just heard that the principality was recruiting people and dressed up specially to apply?"
"So that magnificent armor and knight's uniform were all given by your family?"
"But to be able to wear such heavy-looking armor and sword, and still be able to walk like this, maybe you are really not an ordinary person, right?"
In other words, just chatting, it is an emotion similar to witnessing rare things, and there is rarely an emotion of alertness and fear of weapons. In this world where monsters come in and out of the outside world, there are quite a few people who go out fully armed, but those people may not necessarily
They are all related to the war, but the appearance of the two people is really eye-catching, so I talked a little more about them.
However, there are also adventurers and vigilant spies who have brought them into their attention.
The road construction level in the trade area outside the city is relatively low. Although it is paved with stone slabs, it is basically a mixture of mud and sand and is not compacted enough. Over time, it becomes a bit undulating, which is very challenging for those who are not familiar with it. But
They have an excellent sense of balance, their walking speed is very stable, and the height of their shoulders is also very stable.
After leaving the noisy place, the pretty-faced man said to the dark warrior: "Mr. Gong——"
"No, it doesn't matter if you have a plural real name, and it doesn't matter if you have a close-syllable name, but you know you should call me Feifei now."
"I got it, Feifei. Then what are you going to call me? By your boy's name or your girl's name?"
"Wouldn't it be better to just call me Fran?"
"It's actually a nickname? We've just gotten married not long ago, is this really okay? Hehehehe."
"Alas——" Ainz in the armor sighed.
Going deep into the "Blood Chain God Group" this time is also part of his plan.
Now that we have discovered that there is an organization like The Theocracy, which has a strong legacy among players and possesses players, and there are guild buildings of players who arrived earlier to the south, and to the west there is a country that was run by one of the people Mordred is after, then what?
You have to try to establish a forward position for everything.
Originally, Ainz wanted to stir up some trouble secretly, such as the mutiny between the Holy Kingdom and the Imperial Navy. Mesette's revenge, which was reasonable but caused chaos to the Empire at the wrong time, made things even more chaotic, causing the Fairy Temple and the Cult to
Guoya did not deal with it for a while, and then he appeared as a savior in the name of saving the trouble caused by Mesette.
After that, to win people's hearts to a certain extent, you can find many reasons to establish your own guild branch here.
But things don't seem to be going very well.
It would be better to say that the Principality of Bajas, which was finally able to become an open sphere of influence of the "Blood Chain God Order", is now in a very worrying situation.
Therefore, Ainz felt that he needed to add some chips to them to make them more active.
If Ainz can control something that is big enough, it will go more smoothly if he personally takes care of it. Even if Momon's identity is revealed, he can be credited as a spy and credit to "Ainz Ooal Gown".
To do this, a new identity that has nothing to do with the original identity is needed. This is "Dark Warrior Momon" who has nothing to do with the magic caster.
At the same time, as a "traveller" who has come from afar and has a strong foundation, it is not always satisfactory to go alone. For this reason, he also needs a companion who can make up for the shortcomings of the warrior, that is, a magic caster, which stumps him. Ainz wants to show off
He is not weaker than the man in the black mask, so that he can be taken seriously. A magic caster who may be worthy of such strength has no problem finding an identity and position in this world. At the same time, it is not strange to stand next to Ainz.
Although I planned to send out a "recruitment notice" in the name of other magical cooperative research, it has not been at least suitable for two months. Even if it barely reaches the strength that can make the human country look at it, the appearance of the alien race is too scary for humans.
