Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

That's right. Li De sent out the corresponding personnel to suppress these unrelated undead with pupil skills to prevent them from sending news back to the Great Tomb of Nazarick when Alpha recovered Albedo.

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

Albedo, who was already on guard, instantly put on the artifact armor Hermes Triss Magistus.

However, just as she was about to put it on, a little light appeared in the dark carriage.

The next second, Albedo found that her body was bound 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 illuminated by the little light, but the immortal power on her body was also boiling. It seemed that it was not easy to suppress Albedo.

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

However, even so, Albedo did not panic, but mobilized her magic power to infuse it into the transfer prop that Momonga gave her before departure.

Since the situation was unfavorable, Albedo did not want to continue to entangle. After all, the purpose of her trip was the same as that of Li De sending Laqiusi to the Council State, and she was suspected of acting as a bait.

Even if Li De had not considered it carefully and used the pupil technique to suppress those skeleton soldiers right away, Momonga would probably have received the news at this moment.

As for why Albedo did not use information to inform Momonga, it was not that she did not want to, but that she could not use it.

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

Do you really think that Claire, the shadow queen, has weak control ability?

Don't forget that Claire has begun to comprehend the law!

If it were not 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 restraint, otherwise her head would have been dizzy and lost resistance at this moment.

But even if Albedo's mental resistance was higher than Li De and others expected, it was 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 items, even if Momonga's world-class item, the Mountain and River State Map, was placed here, don't think about using it smoothly under the interference of the six magatama's Samsara Eye.

Another second passed, and a light dragon 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 a certain thought brought by the light dragon poured into her brain.

Damn, this is.

Thinking stopped here.

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

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

"Remember what I'm going to 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, "Yes, Master."

"Then let's return to E-Rantel!" Alpha said, and the voice disappeared.

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

The skeleton soldiers around the convoy did not have any resistance and turned to 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 returned to the lord's mansion in E-Rantel.

The screams that had not yet 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 the signs had completely disappeared when he spoke, Momonga knew too well why Albedo was in the study at this moment.

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

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

"I'm sorry, Lord Ainz. The attack was too sudden. I don't know what happened. The convoy was still on the road one second ago, but the next second, extremely powerful holy light enveloped the entire convoy.

The skeleton knights and undead horses that were guarding them 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 Lord Ainz to transfer the props for me to return.

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

"Albedo, I forgive all your mistakes. In addition, the purpose of this time was originally to test you. It's really hard for you to act as bait." Momonga quickly spoke to comfort her.

"It's not hard, but I failed to find out any information for Ainz-sama, and I returned in a mess. I really didn't live up to the expectations of the Supreme Lord." 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 know that the other party has mastered extremely powerful binding skills and faith skills against the undead." Momonga comforted Albedo again.

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

Even if her will was distorted by "The Beauty of the Country", the habits formed by the body cannot be changed in a few minutes.

So even if she was extremely disgusted at the moment, the words she said before about habit would not be stuck because of this disgust.

After Albedo finished complimenting, Momonga also called Demiurge through the 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 was originally out fishing like Lachius.

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

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

"The strong holy light body was bound?" Demiurge couldn't help but mutter after hearing it.

"Not only the body, I feel that the flow of magic power is much slower than usual, and the mental will also feels suppressed." Albedo completely told her feelings when she was bound by Claire.

After all, she knew too well how smart Demiurge was, and lies would not work in front of him.

"It seems to be a very troublesome skill, and the holy light cannot be ignored." Demiurge couldn't help but frown after hearing it.

After all, it is self-evident that the opponent's skills are so powerful that they can force Albedo to run away.

"Demiurge, what do you think of this raid?" Momonga 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, so they don't want us to reach the city of Lorenti." Demiurge thought for a while before saying.

"Then how do you think we should deal with it?" Momonga continued to ask.

"Lord Ainz, I think the most important thing to do now is to find out the identity of the other party first. I want to go to the city of Lorenti and see if I can get the information we need from the collaborator." Demiurge said after thinking for a while.

"That's good, and take that thing to her by the way, after all, Albedo can't go to the city of Lorenti 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 misconduct." Albedo immediately said.

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

"Lord Ainz, I don't know what I need to do, but Albedo will definitely go all out, no, desperately." Albedo immediately said excitedly.

"Albedo, don't be so excited. The thing is, after discussing with Demiurge, I decided to wait for the opportunity, so I need you to return to the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and then carefully inspect each floor and be prepared to fight against foreign enemies." Momonga explained hurriedly.

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

"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 can understand your feelings, but I have made up my mind." Momonga said in a serious tone.

"Since this is the decision of Lord Ainz, I will do my best to prepare for the war. Demiurge, this is the reincarnation item that Lord Ainz asked me to bring to Princess Lana before. Unfortunately, I don't have time to meet the princess this time." Albedo took out a item from his own dimension and handed it to Demiurge.

"Albedo, there will be time later. Then Lord Ainz, without further ado, I will set off now." Demiurge said after taking the item.

"Okay!" Momonga nodded.

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

After all, no matter how well Erantel was managed now, it would have to be given up when the Grand Alliance arrived.

Because Erantel was the closest military base of the Grand Alliance to the Great Tomb of Nazarick, if it continued to be occupied by the Great Tomb of Nazarick, the retreat of the Alliance would be threatened at any time.

Anyone who was not an arrogant fool would take Erantel before attacking the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

Since he had decided to retreat completely and use the geographical advantage of the Great Tomb of Nazarick to fight the Grand Alliance, Momonga naturally did not plan to worry about Erantel anymore.

Momonga made up his mind that once the news of the establishment of the Grand Alliance came, he would withdraw the troops from the Great Tomb of Nazarick and transfer Elandil to its ally Bahas Empire for garrison.

The main purpose is to see the Bajas Empire's response attitude.

After all, the attitude shown by His Majesty Gilknife is quite different from what Demiurge had guessed before.

Especially after Fluda was resurrected, Gilknife still allowed him to sit in the Ministry of Magic and maintain his absolute influence in the empire, as if the previous betrayal had not happened.

Not only that, he also collected information about several floor guardians through Fulda, and worked hard to make friends with Aura, the Mare siblings, and Sebas.

The most important thing is that there is no cover-up in this series of actions at all, but he is afraid that he will not know.

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

But the specifics depended on the attitude revealed at the critical moment. This was the reason why Momonga planned to hand over Yelantir to the Bahas Empire for garrison.

It was precisely because he planned to give up the territory he had just acquired in E-Rantel that Momonga did not hesitate to let Albedo return to the Great Tomb of Nazarick to inspect each floor and prepare for the war.

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

"I'm very sorry, Lord Demiurge. I know nothing about the attack on the visiting group. Even the news has not reached the royal capital." Faced with Demiurge's inquiry, Lana shook her head. road.

"Then can you confirm that Milia, the hero, has really left the Kingdom of Riestij?" Demiurge continued to ask.

"Yes, because Rachel of Blue Rose is my childhood friend. Her following the brave Miria not only represents the attitude of the Kingdom of Ri-Estij, but is also a form of surveillance, so I can be sure that this time The attack at least has nothing to do with the hero Milia herself.

In addition, after the Battle of Kaz Plains, the brave man has entered the sight of all the kingdom's top officials. There are too many people staring at her. Under this situation, no matter who comes into contact with her, it is impossible to escape the entire kingdom. All sight. So I can confirm that she has indeed been alone lately. "Lana nodded with great certainty.
