Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 338 He is indeed Lord Black Sword!

As Xin Lailai finished speaking, the entire venue suddenly became silent.

I saw a demihuman soldier taking a big step back silently. The demihuman leaders sitting in the center of the venue choked slightly and looked at the Frost Dragon King and the people who had organized them here. The Quagoa King next to him shouted tremblingly:

"It's...it was the Frost Dragon King and the Quagoa King who called us here, Master Black...Black Sword."

"No...that's right, it's the two of them who are looking for you, Lord Black Sword!"

As the first demi-human leader couldn't help but reveal the Frost Dragon King and Quagoa King under the pressure emanating from Xin Lailai, more and more demi-human leaders followed suit and successively pointed their spearheads at him. Pointing at the Frost Dragon King and Quagoa King, their expressions changed slightly.

"Oh? So it turned out that you two were the ones taking the lead? Now, could you please help me explain what you need me to do here?"

Xin Lailai's eyes looked back and forth between the Frost Dragon King and the Quagoa King. He walked up to the two demi-human beast kings and said with a smile. At the same time, the dark aura emanating from his body suddenly increased, and he directed towards the two demi-human beast kings. The Beast King crushed him away.

boom--!

The sudden increase in pressure made the fur on the Quagoa King, who looked like a humanoid marmot, stand on end. After he spurted out a large mouthful of blood, the seat beneath him suddenly broke and fell heavily to the ground. The remaining Frost Dragon King barely managed to keep his head up.

Xin Lailai looked at the scene in front of him, and the look in his indifferent pupils did not change at all.

Although the Quagoa King and the Frost Dragon King are both second-order units in the Paradise's judgment, the actual difference in strength is not even a tiny bit.

In the world of Overlord, the character's strength can be measured by the level system of LV.1~LV.100, and if this level system corresponds to the rank system in the paradise, LV.1~LV.28 Corresponding to the first-order range, LV.29~LV.56 belongs to the second-order range, and LV.57~LV.70 belongs to the third-order range of intensity.

Although the Frost Dragon King is the strongest, his brain is too hard to use. The Quagoa King is more convenient to use.

In the original book, a son of the Frost Dragon King who was too lazy to give up his beer belly surrendered to the Bone King as soon as he saw him because of his cowardice. He successfully relied on the Bone King's power to kill his father, and Make the other person's harem your own.

Xin Lailai took steps, walked into the air with his hands behind his back, looked down, and stated in a calm tone, leaving no room for others to refuse.

Then, Xin Lailai suddenly lost his pressure, smiled slightly, looked at the Quagoa King in front of him, and said:

"Well, considering that I have just woken up from a deep sleep, I can forgive this offense once, but I don't want anyone to play such a trick next time. Do you understand?"

The Frost Dragon King on the side saw the Quagoa King's surrender speed that was faster than turning the page of a book. His two vertical pupils suddenly widened. Then he looked at Xin Lailai in front of him, his body trembled, and he immediately realized something and shouted. road:

"No...that's right! On behalf of the Frost Dragon Clan, I apologize to Lord Black Sword and ask Lord Black Sword to punish us!"

However, this is only the most basic division. In fact, when judging the opponent's strength, the opponent's unit type must be added.

Originally, it wanted to take advantage of the opportunity that the other party had just woken up, and use the power of the Frost Dragon King to unite various tribes to put a little pressure on the other party and take some initiative in this war.

——Although in fact, these two guys are not enough to watch.

"Grateful...Thank you Lord Black Sword for your kindness. Guys like us dare to let Lord Black Sword take the initiative to attend such a simple banquet. We deserve death!"

'In this way, we should no longer have to worry about the demihuman tribe disobeying orders. The rest...'

Xin Lailai thought about it and slowly moved his gaze to the Quagoa King who was kneeling in an unusually standard manner next to the Frost Dragon King, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"In this case, as punishment for this incident, from now on, your command will be fully handed over to me."

The native characters in Overlord, especially the native characters of non-human races like the Frost Dragon King, are almost all guys who rely too much on their own skills and level suppression to fight, and few of them seriously study combat skills.

With the Quagoa King taking the lead, the other demihuman leaders also reacted one after another. They knelt down one by one in fear and expressed their stance loudly.

While saying this, the Quagoa King's eyes suddenly dimmed a bit, and a look of regret flashed across his pupils.

As these demi-human leaders knelt down, the surrounding demi-human soldiers also reacted one after another. They didn't even need others to take the lead and took the initiative to kneel down on the ground with their leaders.

This is no joke. Although Yan Yu is just a nanny responsible for logistics, in fact the other party's real profession is Sun Priest. You must know that it is a standard war pastoral profession, especially when someone like Yan Yu has developed to the upper reaches of the first echelon. Almost all high-level sun priests have a stick skill that starts at Master LV.10.

Xin Lailai felt the shouts coming from his ears. After remaining silent for a while, he raised his palms.

In an instant, the entire venue fell silent. All the demihumans looked up at Xin Lailai, and no one dared to say anything.

'Speaking of which, in the original work, the character Frost Dragon King seems to have been killed by his own son? '

——By the way, the correspondence here means that the contractor can suppress or even kill alone.

The Quagoa King who was kneeling on the ground trembled when he heard Xin Lailai's words. He looked towards the ground with a look of helplessness as expected. He shrank slightly, took a deep breath, and raised his head. shouted:

"Thank you Lord Black Sword for your kindness. The Quagoa clan is willing to be sent by Lord Black Sword!"

well.

'It seems we can focus on this guy later...'

"On behalf of the entire Quagoa clan, I apologize to Lord Black Sword and ask Lord Black Sword to punish us!"

Realizing that Xin Lailai's eyes were clearly on him, the Quagoa King trembled slightly and said quickly in an extremely respectful tone:

It is indeed the safest way to let the Quagoa King take the lead. If the Frost Dragon King or another demihuman leader had spoken just now, there is a high probability that he would have said something like asking him to spare his life, something that would definitely annoy the battle maids. .

'Let's start with this guy...'

Xin Lailai looked at the scene in front of him, sensing the expressions of the battle maids behind him gradually softening, and squinted his eyes slightly, showing a look of satisfaction.

Xin Lailai looked at the Frost Dragon King in front of him who did not dare to take a breath under the king's power, with a little thought flashing in his eyes.

For example, the Quagoa King at LV.38 is actually only an elite-level unit in the park's judgment, while the Frost Dragon King at LV.46 is a boss-level unit, which is commonly known as the mini-BOSS level.

Xin Lailai glanced at the Quagoa King out of the corner of his eye and thought about it in his mind.

Therefore, if you calculate it carefully, the Quagoa King can only be regarded as a contractor in the lower second echelon, while the Frost Dragon King can barely be regarded as a contractor in the middle or lower echelon of the first echelon. There is no fundamental difference between the two. It is not a level of existence.

But if it were a Quagoa King with a high enough emotional intelligence, he would know how to calm down the anger of him and the battle maids to the greatest extent by asking him for forgiveness.

It seems to be just a small choice, but with his current status, one bad choice may evolve into maintaining the majesty of the 'Successor of Ainz Ooal Gown', and he has to keep these demi-humans who have surrendered to his camp. A situation where they were all slaughtered.

'According to the character of the Frost Dragon King in the original work, we shouldn't have thought of such a strategy like the Hongmen Banquet. In other words... was this guy's plan? '

This meant that if there was a serious fight, not to mention Xin Lailai, even Yan Yu standing behind him would probably be able to use the priest's staff to knock the Frost Dragon King to the ground.

The types of units in the paradise actually correspond to the strength echelons of the contractors. The elite level corresponds to the second echelon, the boss level corresponds to the first echelon, the leader level corresponds to the top echelon, the lord level corresponds to the super top echelon, and the overlord level corresponds to the super top echelon. It corresponds to a strong person like Xin Lailai who has reached the same level.

"Me...our snake-men clan is the same!" "The mountain dwarves beg Lord Black Sword for mercy!" "Half-orcs..."

His initial identity is not only an advantage, but it is also a limitation. If he wants to ensure that everything develops in the direction he expected without losing his vest, he must find a few guys who are smart enough to interpret and convey it. Lord Black Sword's will will do.

Although the strength of the Quagoa King is not very good, from a mental point of view, this guy was rated as the "Sky Khan" of the underground world in the original work. In terms of mental value alone, he is probably better than All the demihuman leaders present were taller together.

In this way, it can arrange its own people to a slightly safer position in the subsequent war, preserve the strength of the Quagoa clan to the greatest extent, and even retreat from the battle line when necessary, or even escape directly. , so as to find another way.

But it never expected that the power of the successors of the Sorcerous Kingdom that those demi-humans considered would be so terrifying.

Not to mention negotiating terms with the opponent and using the withdrawal of troops as a threat, when that dark aura emanates from the opponent, it can't even stand and look at the opponent.

As the price of its misjudgment, it directly lost the right to command its own people. Considering that the other party seemed to have discovered that it was the initiator of this incident, if its guess was correct, I am afraid that the next step would be... …

"Very good. In that case, the first order is that after you go back, please lead your tribe to retreat from the front line immediately."

"?!" After all the tribes had set an example, Xin Lailai nodded slightly, looked down at everyone, and spoke in a calm tone, while the demihuman leaders below and the battle maids at the back were listening. When they heard this sentence, everyone couldn't help but be startled.

Especially the future Quagoa King, who was already distrustful of himself and his race, had a look of disbelief in his eyes when he heard Xin Lailai's order.

Let them all retreat?

Why, aren't humans launching a crazy attack?

If we retreat from the front at this time, wouldn't we just give up territory to the enemy?

"Wait, Lord Black Sword, even if we don't need to take the initiative, is it too much to let them retreat..."

Behind her, Yuli, who couldn't understand what Xin Lailai was doing for a while, looked at Xin Lailai standing in mid-air and hesitated to speak. Not only her, but also the demihumans below became restless.

Will it really turn out like this? But fortunately, he has already thought of an explanation.

Xin Lailai sensed this scene with her psychic field, narrowed her eyes slightly, and was about to speak to comfort everyone, when a somewhat abrupt and fanatical voice suddenly sounded from behind:

"I see, I understand! As expected of Lord Black Sword, he is really thoughtful!"

Suo Liuxiang, the curly blond maid who had been scolded by Xin Lailai before, suddenly said excitedly, looking at Xin Lailai with an expression of admiration.

"?"

Xin Lailai felt Suo Liuxiang looking at him enthusiastically from behind, with a confused look in his dark pupils.

what's the situation? He didn't say anything and this guy figured it out on his own?

'Lailai, this...'

'There's nothing you can do, just go with the flow. '

Xin Lailai, who was caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, said helplessly in his mind. He turned around calmly with a look of approval, nodded slightly, looked at Suo Liuxiang, and said with a smile:

"Yes, it seems that Suoliuxiang, you finally understand the true meaning of this war. In this case, it is up to you to explain to them."

"I obey, Lord Black Sword!"

Suo Liuxiang stood up excitedly after receiving permission. She walked to the center of the venue and looked around at the demihumans in front of her with a look of disdain in her eyes. Then she coughed twice and said:

"Stupid fellows, listen carefully. The reason Lord Black Sword asked you to retreat was not because he pitied your humble lives, but because he had foreseen the reaction of our enemy with his wisdom that is comparable to His Majesty Ainz! "

"Think about it for yourselves, is today's incident really just a coincidence? Why was the Quagoa tribe besieged by the Bajas Empire lucky enough to escape to the territory of the Sorcerous Kingdom? Why did the Asians from the Abraham Hills Can a human tribe cross the distance of a country and sneak into the Sorcerous Kingdom?!"

"Relying on your own wisdom? Don't be kidding me. Among our enemies is someone who can plot against the great Sorcerer King. How could such an enemy allow you to escape so easily?!"

Yes, why can they escape to the Sorcerous Kingdom so easily?

Hearing Soliuxiang's words, a look of confusion appeared in the eyes of the demihumans who had just witnessed Xin Lailai's power.

Among their enemies was the Sorcerer King who was able to calculate that he was more powerful than the Black Sword in front of them. How could such a person allow them to cross the border so easily and escape all the way to the territory of the Sorcerous Kingdom? Come?

"Wait, could it be..."

The Quagoa King, who had the sharpest thinking in the room, seemed to realize something. His pupils shrank, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

"That's right, you stupid guys have all fallen into the enemy's scheme!"

Suo Liuxiang looked at the demihumans in front of her with disdain, and said loudly and forcefully in a disdainful tone:

"Our enemy has long expected that your stupidity will cause you to bring chaos to the Sorcerous Kingdom, so he deliberately let you come here in order to create a flaw in our defense line."

"If Master Black Sword hadn't woken up in time, I'm afraid that the moment you cause trouble, the human army will immediately attack the defense line. Then you fools will all pay with your lives for your stupidity!"

Suo Liuxiang said with a sneer. After hearing what the other party said, the Quagoa King imagined the scene in his mind. His heart froze, but then new doubts arose, and he said in confusion:

"But, isn't Master Black Sword already awake? In that case, why should we..."

"Stupid! Do you think it's as simple as letting you come here just to stir up chaos?!"

Suo Liuxiang scolded sternly, looked at the demi-humans with cold eyes, and said:

"Do you really think that the enemy has not guessed the existence of Lord Black Sword?"

As he said these words, the Quagoa King's breath suddenly suffocated, and his back covered with thick fur felt a chilling chill at this moment, and his mind suddenly figured out the cause and effect of everything as if he had an epiphany.

"I understand. The enemy's real purpose is to use us to confirm whether Lord Black Sword is really awake!"

"That's right, once you continue to defend on the front line, our enemies will immediately understand that Lord Black Sword has awakened, and it was him who settled the chaos you caused. In this way, our biggest trump card will be immediately exposed to the eyes of the enemy. .”

Suo Liuxiang glanced at the Quagoa King who was the first to react, and nodded. He seemed to be barely satisfied with the Quagoa King's reaction speed. His tone softened slightly and continued:

"And Master Black Sword has already seen all this, so he asked you all to retreat from the front line in order to deceive our enemy and make him make wrong judgments about our situation."

"I see, you are indeed Lord Black Sword. I am truly convinced by your wisdom and strategy!"

After listening to Suo Liuxiang's explanation, the Quagoa King looked at Xin Lailai in the sky with a look of admiration and relief in his eyes.

Surrendering to such a strong man may not be a bad thing for the Quagoa clan!

"Lord Black Sword, I have finished my report. Is there anything else I need to add?"

On the other side, Suo Liuxiang, who had finished speaking, looked at Xin Lailai with fanatical eyes and asked in a tone of great admiration.

"..."

Xin Lailai felt the hot gazes cast by Suo Liuxiang, the Quagoa King, and all the demi-humans and the battle maids behind him. The corners of his eyes twitched invisibly, and he nodded without changing his expression, speaking calmly. The tone said:

"No, you said it very well, Suo Liuxiang."

"Lord Black Sword, you are over-praising me. I have only picked up an insignificant part of your wisdom. What really reveals the enemy's plan is your far-reaching wisdom that has been approved by His Majesty Ainz!"

Suo Liuxiang said with a smile, put her hands in front of her abdomen, and bowed deeply to Xin Lailai.

"..."

"Hahaha, Lailai, this is so interesting! As expected of Lord Black Sword, hahahahaha!"

In the soul space, Ling Yuzi held his belly and laughed nonstop, until tears almost came out of his eyes.

Xin Lailai, who no longer knew how to answer this, could only remain silent, just looking at the scene below, nodded, and walked towards the palace.

——He suddenly understood why the Bone King in the original book felt so much pressure when facing those men who liked to think crazy.

——These NPCs in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, do they have any serious brain problems? !
