Overlord: I’ve Been Recruiting Followers in Another World

"You're doing a fine job, Fluder Paradyne."

"By no means, all this is thanks to you. I merely obeyed orders."

Standing atop the towering, wide wall, overlooking the magnificent vista before him, Kael couldn't help but praise Fluder Paradyne, who stood beside him.

Fluder Paradyne bowed slightly, a gesture indicating that he dared not accept the compliment.

The wall on which both men stood rose fifteen meters high and stretched over ten meters wide, more than twice the size of E-Rantel's city walls in the Re-Estize Kingdom. Not only its height and width were impressive, but its length was also extraordinary, encompassing an area estimated to be twice as large as E-Rantel itself.

A project of this scale was completed in just over a month. The construction teams supported by the Baharuth Empire and Slane Theocracy alone would never have been able to achieve it. Most of this accomplishment was thanks to Kael using summoning items to call forth construction Golems and magic caster teams. Thus, truthfully, Fluder Paradyne had at most only assigned the construction workers from the Baharuth Empire and Slane Theocracy, leading them alongside the construction Golems and magic casters to work. He truly felt his contribution was negligible.

"Being able to translate my explanations and oversee the city's construction is an extraordinary achievement."

Kael glanced into Fluder Paradyne's eyes and said with a smile, as if reading the old wizard's doubts.

With the construction of this protective wall, most of the Church of Destiny's workforce in E-Rantel had been relocated to the new site, leaving only a small number of personnel to keep the branch in the Re-Estize Kingdom functioning. In the future, the daily training of the dependents would take place outside the Holy City, and the scope of temporary activities would be reduced to nearby areas and major cities in the Draconic Kingdom.

When speaking of the Draconic Kingdom, one thing is worth mentioning. Thanks to the active presence of Church of Destiny members on the battlefield, several Orcish Empire attacks on Draconic Kingdom cities had been successfully repelled. The large Orcish forces suffered heavy casualties, and the invasion into the Draconic Kingdom was suspended.

These results greatly boosted the confidence of all Draconic Kingdom citizens, and the people's amiability towards the Church of Destiny increased to a level of reverence in a very short time. Seeing this favorable situation, Draudillon Oriculus immediately promoted the church's development in major Draconic Kingdom cities. She not only established church branches but also selected tens of thousands of people highly enthusiastic about God Kael to become formal believers.

Although the Draconic Kingdom had once faced a crisis of annihilation, its population still numbered in the millions, so Kael was not surprised by these results. In the past two weeks, he had stayed in this Holy City, transforming all the people from the major Draconic Kingdom cities into dependents, and the number of church members suddenly increased more than a hundredfold. Furthermore, knowing that he was building a city, Draudillon Oriculus arranged for the Draconic Kingdom army to relocate additional floating populations on the front lines to the Holy City. In the future, these Draconic Kingdom commoners would become the first inhabitants of the Holy City, following the church's arrangements to reclaim fertile fields or raise livestock.

Therefore, the production plan Kael had set out was put on the agenda. Game crop seeds had been sown in the reclaimed land outside the Holy City. Various game Warcraft bloodlines had also been transplanted into the bodies of New World cattle, sheep, and other livestock through transformation items. Special items that could contain minerals had also been buried beneath the Holy City. On Earth, the next step was simply to wait for the cultivation results.

"Supported by the nation, developing rapidly."

Once again uttering that admiration, Kael then instructed Fluder Paradyne to continue monitoring the city's construction. Meanwhile, he himself activated the teleportation magic [Greater Teleportation] towards the Draconic Kingdom's Royal Palace.

He marked the spatial coordinates as Draudillon Oriculus's private bedroom.

The scenery changed instantly. A unique aroma entered his nostrils, causing the corners of Kael's lips to curve slightly. His gaze moved to the dressing table in the bedroom, where Draudillon Oriculus, clad in a long black gown, was combing her long, soft hair like a waterfall. Her back appeared incredibly graceful and elegant.

Perhaps sensing the magical fluctuation, Draudillon Oriculus turned back, and when she saw Kael approaching, she rose to greet him.

"You're back."

"Yes, after checking on the Holy City's construction, I returned."

Kael naturally embraced Draudillon Oriculus's waist. After more than a month together, Draudillon Oriculus was no longer as shy as before, and could now calmly accept intimate contact with him. After a light kiss on the Queen's face, Kael asked her, "Do you have anything to handle today? If not, I'll accompany you to the Holy City to participate in training."

In over a month, Leinas, Enri Emmot, and Fluder Paradyne had raised their levels above LV90. Even Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra, who was slightly behind, had reached LV70, but Draudillon Oriculus's level was only LV56. The reason was very simple: she was different from the others. As the Queen of the Draconic Kingdom, she had many matters to attend to daily, and didn't have much time to participate in combat training. This was only because with the support of the Church of Destiny, the Draconic Kingdom's crisis of destruction had been resolved; otherwise, she might have been even busier.

Kael could understand this situation, but as the person closest to her, he still hoped Draudillon Oriculus could quickly raise her level. Therefore, he would invite her to train whenever there was an opportunity.

"Please allow me to train later."

Draudillon Oriculus subtly declined Kael's request, then explained, "Herman and the Grand Marshal have organized an attack on an Orc Camp. Although there shouldn't be any issues, I'm still a little worried, and plan to go there to oversee the battle situation."

"Oh?" Kael was slightly surprised, but quickly understood the reason.

The Draconic Kingdom had previously always been in passive defense mode. Now taking the initiative to attack, this was likely a testing operation. If the target could be defeated smoothly, it would mean the Draconic Kingdom already had enough strength to launch a full counterattack against the Orc Coalition Forces. So, this victory was very important to the Draconic Kingdom, and it was entirely natural for Draudillon Oriculus to want to monitor the battle situation.

"How large is the Orc camp you'll be attacking?"

"There must be about 50,000 Orc warriors. The Orc Coalition that invaded our Draconic Kingdom was united in a tribal manner. This time, the target is the strongest tribal team among them."

"The lion-headed ones?"

"Uh... They are the Golden Lion Orc clan, and they should be considered the royal bloodline in the Orcish Empire."

"Oh."

Kael had once observed the situation of the Orc forces and was quite impressed by the lion-headed group. If the rank of ordinary Orc warriors was around LV10, the level of the royal bloodline Golden Lion Orc warriors should be LV15, and there were several leading warriors no less powerful than Adamantite-ranked adventurers.

"Then I will go with you and take a look. You also happen to take this opportunity to collect a group of souls."
