Tomie's Unlimited Journey

About ten knights formed a circle and raised the imperial flag together. This was the etiquette for welcoming the imperial envoy. After the hippogriff landed on the ground, even though he was the honorary knight in charge of the ceremony, he was surprised by the envoy's appearance.

Let the flag waver slightly.

There should be no knight in the empire who doesn't know this man.

Armor made of rare metal stainless steel, with powerful magic attached to it. There are only a few pieces of this kind of equipment in the empire, and the one who can wear this armor is one of the highest-ranking knights in the empire.

One of the Four Knights of the Empire, Nibru A'ku Dil Anoku, "The Wind".

"I want to find the supreme commander, General Kabein of the Second Army. Do you know where he is?"

Nibru looked around and asked loudly.

"Sir, General Kabine is in a meeting to prepare for the war with the kingdom in a few days."

"Really? Then...Has His Excellency Sorcerer King Gong arrived as well?"

"No! We haven't seen the Sorcerer King here yet!"

"Then, please lead the way."

Nibru slowly took out the things hidden in his arms.

"yes!"

The knight saluted and led Nibru to the tent.

"Nibru, welcome to your arrival"

After the announcement, a middle-aged man with white hair came out, showing a gentle smile. His posture was more like that of an elegant nobleman than a battle-experienced knight.

Natir Iniam Diel Kabein, the commander-in-chief of this battle.

"Can Nibru tell me? What is the purpose of this war? Aren't the wars so far just to make the kingdom exhausted? Why is it different this time?"

Kabein's eyes became sharp. He was a little puzzled by the emperor's inexplicable war order. Such a head-on battle was too uneconomical for them.

The scale of the royal army in this battle is much larger than before. Although the imperial knights are stronger than the peasant soldiers of the kingdom, the opponent's numbers are an overwhelming advantage. In a head-on confrontation, there will definitely be a lot of casualties.

What puzzled him even more was that after capturing E-Rantel, he had to immediately hand it over to the person known as the Sorcerer King. This was really beyond his comprehension.

Nibru straightened his posture and said, "Originally, I came here to deliver orders. The purpose of this war is to build a friendly relationship with the Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown. Even if it costs blood to capture E-Rantel,

He also transferred it to Ainz Ooal Gown free of charge to establish the cooperative relationship between the two parties."

"Even if the knights who maintain the order of the empire fall and the danger to the empire itself increases, we still have to hand over E-Rantel. Is the Sorcerer King so valuable?"

"Yes."

Kabein closed his eyes after hearing this, "I understand, if this is His Majesty's decision, I will comply with it."

"Thank you very much, but His Majesty said that when the Sorcerer King comes, we must find a way to let him release the most powerful attack magic."

"Is the Sorcerer King...also an enemy of the empire?"

Kabein suddenly understood. Ainz Ooal Gown was probably a person who made even the emperor feel a huge threat.

The two discussed for a while,

"Ah, General. There is one more thing I want to ask of you. The Sorcerer King will also bring his soldiers. Please allow them to go to the battlefield together."

"So how many thousands of people are there?"

Kabene thought for a while and asked, it would be great if the losses of the Imperial Knights could be reduced.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you in the middle of the conversation, Your Excellency General Kabane! Your Excellency Nibru!"

At this moment, the knight interrupted the conversation between the two from outside the tent.

"come in"

The person who came in was a noble knight, "Yes! The carriage with the Sorcerer King's flag has arrived at the door, and it is requested to open the door here. Can you open the door as ordered before?"

The knight's eyes first turned to Nibru, and then to Kabine, to which Nibru nodded.

"...Understood, let me go immediately."

"Yes! So...do I need to check inside the carriage?"

No matter who is sitting inside, they cannot enter the garrison without inspection. They usually have to go through magic inspection to confirm whether they are disguised due to illusion or the like.

Kabene looked towards Nibru again.

Nibru felt a headache due to the heaviness of the atmosphere, and replied with a bitter expression, "General Kabein, I'm very sorry, that person is an important figure in the empire, an exception among exceptions, an exception among exceptions, just like that,

Let him come in."

Kabein, who had maintained a gentle smile until just now, suddenly turned ugly. Nibru's order to the knight was an act of overstepping his authority. No matter how gentle he was, his subordinates would not feel it when someone else gave him an order.

Happy.

Nibru also understands this truth, but he can't do it otherwise.

If it really doesn’t work—

"If it is His Majesty's order, there is nothing we can do. After all, the Empire is His Majesty's country."

Kabein frowned and said, "Then the Sorcerer King, who has been given such special treatment by His Majesty, will you go and meet him now?"

Outside the garrison base, with the knights as the guide, a luxurious carriage advanced quietly. What was surprising was that there was no groom, and even the horse was very different from ordinary horses. It could only be said to be a certain kind of horse.

I've seen monsters before.

The carriage is extremely gorgeous. It is based on black. The entire carriage is decorated with gorgeous gold ornaments, all of which have the unique dim luster of real gold. The whole carriage presents an elegant and luxurious atmosphere. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mobile gem box.

But what is even more shocking is the "horse". Sharp teeth can be seen from the gaps in the head armor, and the whole body is covered with reptile-like scales.

Nibru's breathing became a little disordered, and his back and hands were sweating. It was just a mount, but it made him, the Four Knights of the Empire, break into a cold sweat!

Amidst the chaotic breathing around him, the carriage door opened.

The one who came down was a girl who looked like a dark elf.

The girl holding the black staff is very cute. When she grows up, she will definitely become a stunningly beautiful beauty.

"Well, um, Lord Ainz, it seems he has arrived."

The girl said coyly.

"Really? Thanks, Mare."

Then another figure walked out of the carriage.

In an instant, the air became heavier, and goosebumps appeared all over Nibru's body. This breath was not murderous, but an indescribable and huge sense of oppression.

Ainz Ooal Gown was dressed in a very common attire for magic casters, a dark mage robe, a dark cloak, a gorgeous wand in his hand, and a strange mask on his face.

"Welcome to your presence, His Excellency the Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown."

Nibru quickly lowered his head.
