Overlord: I’ve Been Recruiting Followers in Another World

Before you stretched a desolate land shrouded in mist. There was no trace of plant life on the ground at all, and it was also covered with a reddish-brown unknown substance.

Crunch! Crunch!

The mist obscured vision, but not hearing, so it was faintly possible to discern strange sounds from close range. It was easy for an experienced adventurer or laborer to tell that these were the sounds made by Skeleton undead when they moved.

This was the Katze Plains, which the human nations called the Land of the Accursed.

With the exception of adventurers, laborers, and units like the Slane Theocracy's Cleanup Squad, whose objective was to destroy undead, the Katze Plains, where no living person ventured throughout the year, welcomed a special group of personnel today.

A luxurious Royal Coach traveled through the mist, and the surrounding Imperial Guards were highly focused on guarding against any undead that might suddenly appear. However, every time they were about to draw their swords against an enemy, the holy figure encircling the outermost ring of the party would always unleash flames one step earlier.

[Fire Stream], more powerful than the third-tier spell [Fireball], transpired the mist and swept towards the approaching group of Skeleton Mages and Skeleton Warriors, incinerating them to nothing but ash in the blink of an eye.

"Looks powerful."

Through the open carriage door, Jircniv Rune Farlord El-Nix watched with a smile on his face as he gazed at the Seraphim sweeping away the undead raiders.

This time, the Baharuth Empire was transporting building supplies to support the Church of Destiny, and he also took the opportunity to follow along, with the aim of seeing Fluder Paradyne again and seeing if he could persuade the imperial pillar to return to the imperial capital.

Although Fluder Paradyne had joined the Church of Destiny, it was merely a matter of faith. Imperial law did not stipulate that church personnel were not allowed to hold imperial office, and as long as he, the emperor, did not care, Fluder Paradyne could still be the imperial court's chief magician. It was better to say that as long as the Church of Destiny did not interfere with his ideas of imperial power, he would be happy to see such a thing happen by reusing church personnel to increase imperial power. So this time to the Katze Plains, he also wanted to meet those Church of Destiny officials.

"Sir, you said that these angels were summoned by God Kael with an item. Could you tell me their level of power?"

"Your Majesty, what do you wish to know about this?"

"I think they seem very powerful, so I want to try to see if I can make some transactions with God Kael, like purchasing a batch of similar magic items to enrich the empire's military combat power."

Jircniv looked back at Fluder Paradyne and said unashamedly.

To be willing to try by any means, as long as it was possible to strengthen the nation, was indeed something His Majesty Jircniv would do.

Fluder Paradyne stroked his long beard.

He recalled his previous subject of responsibility while at the Imperial Ministry of Magic—an attempt to control undead for productive activities. Undead would not tire, and if the research succeeded, the empire's rural labor would be greatly liberated, and more grain-producing areas would be reclaimed. Unfortunately, now that he had a higher pursuit, he had lost interest in such minor matters.

According to the will of "God Kael," he was now systematically studying magic knowledge from various major systems, aiming to create powerful magic that transcended the framework of tier magic usage and establish a new magic system that could be learned and released by every magic caster normally. Provided it succeeded, then Fluder Paradyne's name would become a monument looked up to in the realm of magic in the New World!

"Old man?"

"Oh, forgive me, Your Majesty, my attention was a little distracted."

Jircniv's voice roused Fluder Paradyne from his yearning, and he sorted his thoughts and said to Jircniv, "Do you wish to trade for the magical items that summon these angels?"

"With all due respect, even if you offer all the collections in the Imperial Treasure House, it would be impossible to trade for such magical items. Their value far exceeds your imagination."

"Oh?" Jircniv raised his eyebrows and was noncommittal to Fluder Paradyne's words, waiting for him to explain the reason.

As expected, Fluder Paradyne told him the answer the next second.

"Your Majesty, each of these angels possesses the power to surpass a Superior Demon Lord. If someone could master the item that summons them, then it would not be difficult to destroy an entire empire."

Hearing this, Jircniv narrowed his eyes slightly, and a serious expression flashed across his face.

With what he knew of Fluder Paradyne, the old man never lied about magic. So, the news was accurate with a high probability.

That's not good.

Jircniv's eyes glanced at the angels around the convoy, and if one angel could destroy an entire empire, more than thirty angels were now guarding the convoy.

While pondering, an imperial guard on a warhorse came to the carriage door and reported to Fluder Paradyne, "Lord Paradyne! By this time, we should have reached the heart of the Katze Plains."

"Okay, I know."

Fluder Paradyne nodded, and immediately at his request, the entire convoy ceased moving forward.

Three members of the [Four Horsemen], including Jircniv and Baziwood Peshmel, followed Fluder Paradyne down from the carriage and stood on the mist-shrouded Katze Plains.

"Your Majesty, I shall fulfill the will of the gods first."

Saluting Jircniv, Fluder Paradyne launched the flight magic [Fly] and soared into the air, stopping ten meters above the ground.

He then raised his left hand, which wore a magical ring, and activated the ring's effect.

"Super-Tier Magic: [Wish Upon a Star]!"

One of the three gems embedded in the ring instantly shattered, and a vast, mysterious power broke through the mist's blockade and descended from the sky like a beam of light. A strong airwave spread around as the beam of light fell to the ground. Jircniv and the others were blown into flying cloaks, and the imperial flag erected on the carriage fluttered.

"What magic is this?"

"I... I don't know! I have never seen a master use this magic!"

Jircniv quickly asked the best student of the Ministry of Magic and Fluder Paradyne's most accomplished disciple, who was at his side, about the situation, but received this answer.

Then, in the eyes of all who were stunned, golden holy light spread like seawater around them, submerging all figures.

After a wave of magic that lasted several minutes, Jircniv and the others recovered from their panic, but the scene that met their eyes made them feel incredible.

He saw the mist covering the earth as if it had completely dispersed. A blue sky appeared above his head, and warm sunlight shone upon everyone, which made people feel extremely comfortable. Not only that, but the rufous barren land was renewed, covered with a layer of green grass, showing great vitality.

Fluder Paradyne, as the caster, couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw the magical effect of the spell.

Although it was only a piece of the central area of the Katze Plains, such a vast area was completely sufficient as a place for the construction of the Holy City.

"It can begin."

Fluder Paradyne then opened a [Gate], and the construction army from the Katze Plains Border City was instructed and immediately began to pass through the portal and reach this newly opened holy land.
