Overlord: I’ve Been Recruiting Followers in Another World

"Enri, regarding the subsequent transfer of these three territories, send someone to take possession of them with the king."

Kael handed the map in his hand to Enri Emmot, who was beside him, and instructed her.

The territory the king promised to give him was currently only nominal. Someone had to be sent to take over the territory and establish a certain governing foundation before the handover could be officially completed. Furthermore, territorial management also needed to be carried out, otherwise, the work in the developed territory could not proceed normally.

Most of the current members of the Church of Destiny were civilians, and the general literacy rate was very low compared to the common people of other kingdoms, making it impossible to select appropriate administrators.

However, it was not without a solution. It just so happened that he had now reached an agreement with the Re-Estize Kingdom, and it wouldn't be a problem to use the relationship between Draudillon Oriculus and Princess Renner to recruit some territorial management talents to temporarily take over.

"Yes, God Kael."

After taking the map, Enri Emmot put it away, stating that she had remembered Kael's instructions, and then reported another incident to him.

"God Kael, the priests from the Slane Theocracy have completed their selection of personnel to receive your gift, and are now waiting at the Slane Theocracy's stronghold on the edge of the Katze Plains. They asked me to seek your guidance, when do you intend to bestow your grace upon them?"

The Slane Theocracy's church is already ready?

Kael couldn't help but look aside, a little surprised.

But on second thought, it had been half a month since the Church of Destiny last discussed cooperation matters with Enri Emmot. With the sample of the [One Man Army] division, they must have seen their family's incredibly rapid growth, so naturally, they couldn't wait.

"Then, go now, inform them."

Kael instructed Enri Emmot. After all, he was also going to the Katze Plains, and he could settle this matter together without having to go to the Slane Theocracy again in the future.

At the Katze Plains Stronghold

Katze Plains, a worshipping stronghold.

This place looked very much like a military fort. The building's walls were not the same as ordinary military camps; they were built using solid stone combined with magical clay mounds. This was because the Katze Plains also bordered the Slane Theocracy. To prevent the presence of powerful undead on the plains from endangering human safety, the Slane Theocracy, like the Baharuth Empire and the Re-Estize Kingdom, would regularly send personnel to the plains to clear out these undead.

At this time, the military strongholds were densely populated, all storage warehouses were filled with various building materials, and even most of it was piled in the open space outside the stronghold because it could not be stored.

Zesshi Zetsumei wore the armor left by the Six Great Gods, tightly encasing her entire body without revealing her appearance at all. She leaned against the wall at the entrance to the stronghold's main hall, holding a death god's scythe in her hand. Her eyes beneath her helmet stared at the two shining figures guarding the stronghold gate.

The Slane Theocracy was a religious nation. There were systematic ways to cultivate magic casters in this country, and most priests used angels to summon magic. However, the two angels guarding the stronghold gate were clearly different from the guardian angels, fire archangels, and scout angels summoned by cult priests. Not only was the holy light on their bodies stronger, but the momentum they exuded was also astonishing.

Those were summoned angels from the Church of Destiny. Not long after their group arrived at the stronghold, Raymond Zarg Lauransan (former Imperial Magician Court Chief and former Third Seat of the Black Scripture) who had taken refuge with the Church of Destiny, arrived with a group of angels. They were currently taking over the stronghold's defenses completely, and any undead trying to approach would be annihilated by their holy fire and divine light, making the entire stronghold remarkably safe as a result.

"Never even think of challenging them."

Hearing the voice, Zesshi Zetsumei looked back and saw that the Captain of the Black Scripture was coming towards her with a smile on his face.

To Zesshi, the Captain of the Black Scripture was a descendant who had also awakened the blood of the gods, and the two were slightly closer. So, Zesshi Zetsumei's demeanor was more relaxed, and she casually asked, "Captain, you competed with them yesterday, what do you think of their strength?"

"This..."

The Captain of the Black Scripture recalled yesterday's battle with the Seraph, a trace of fear flashing across his face. That overwhelming power was utterly despairing. Even an ordinary blow from the opponent would make him barely able to resist, let alone retaliate. Not only that, but that scorching sensation, being burned by holy fire at every moment, also eroded a warrior's will.

After a comprehensive comparison, the Captain of the Black Scripture said to Zesshi Zetsumei, "If you don't use the power of a World Item, the outcome of fighting those angels would be hard to say."

"A very conservative answer," Zesshi Zetsumei glanced at him, then withdrew her gaze from him.

After experiencing several battles with the Baharuth Empire, she had developed a deep understanding of the powerful combat abilities of advanced monsters, and was slowly able to accept the existence of monsters stronger than herself. That is to say, because she knew that her strength was not very solid and she could not protect the church more powerfully, she made a request to the council of priests and followed the main army here. She could also become stronger as long as she obtained magical abilities like Gospel.

While pondering, Zesshi Zetsumei heard footsteps approaching the two of them.

"You two, I finally found you."

The visitor was Quaiesse Hazeia Quintia, the current Fifth Seat of the Black Scripture Squad, also known as the "One Man Army." Due to his increased strength, he had gained the attention of the members of the Council of Priests and had already been proposed by Peshulian as the next successor to Priest-in-Chief.

"What's happening, Quaiesse?" Zesshi Zetsumei asked.

Quaiesse's gentle smile lingered on his face and he conveyed, "Priest Raymond was informed by the Church of Destiny that God Kael will be coming to this stronghold, so let all members go to greet him."

"So that's how it is." Zesshi Zetsumei nodded.

The elites from the Black Scripture Squad and other Six Colors Scripture units had gathered here to receive grace from the God of Destiny. Now that the gods were here, it was only proper to go and greet them.

"Then let's go."

Zesshi Zetsumei carried a scythe taller than herself, leading the way and walking towards the banquet hall. The other two followed.

Not long after, they arrived at their destination together.

At first glance into the lobby, the three people noticed Kael who was receiving the collective prostration of the priests and many elites of the Six Colors Scripture.

His entire being was suspended in mid-air, and the golden holy light radiating from his body seemed to add a touch of warmth to the entire room, which made people feel a sense of closeness.

Indeed charming, Zesshi thought.

Zesshi Zetsumei and the Captain of the Black Scripture, with practiced calm, knelt on one knee, assuming a posture exactly like the others, to salute. This was to conceal her identity and avoid some unnecessary trouble.

Only, it seemed it was useless.

Zesshi Zetsumei felt a kind of magical power covering her body, and quickly looked up. She found that the caster was the same man she had just prostrated herself before.

The natural power of [Contact Weapon Backtracking], understood!
