OVERLORD: The Second Supreme Being

The Empire's army had already gathered at the border of the Slane Theocracy.

At that moment, a portal lit up, and a massive Goblin army marched out of it. Riding a unicorn, Anri appeared, clad in shining silver armor.

The unicorn was a Level 40 magical creature summoned by Peroroncino, and Anri's armor was also his creation.

The armor's durability was comparable to that of the equipment created by the Sorcerer Kingdom, making it impenetrable to anyone who had not reached the hero level.

"So this is the Sorcerer Kingdom's reinforcements?" The Empire's Grand Marshal gazed at the well-equipped Goblins with awe.

As an experienced general, he immediately recognized that the Goblin soldiers and the Empire's soldiers were on entirely different levels. The first to appear were the Goblin Heavy Infantry, armed with shields and axes. Compared to their armor, the Empire's soldier's gear seemed like paper.

The Goblin army marched out of the portal with the precision of a parade.

Even the accompanying General of Quagoa, who was traveling with the Empire's army, couldn't help but marvel at the sight.

Next came the Goblin Knight Corps, followed by Goblin Mages, leaving the Empire's generals utterly astonished, their jaws agape.

In the Empire, magic casters were extremely rare talents, and most of them chose not to join the military.

The Empire's army had brought only about a hundred magic casters, most of whom could only use Tier 2 magic.

Seeing that the Goblins had a thousand magic casters, the Empire's general couldn't help but feel envious. He wished he had so many magic casters under his command.

Meanwhile, Quagoa general didn't fully understand the significance of magic casters.

When the Empire's general learned that the commander of the Goblin army was a young woman who had just come of age, he was too shocked to speak.

"I'm just here for appearances; the command is entirely in his hands," Anri said, glancing toward the Goblin strategist.

When the Empire's general saw the Goblin strategist, he was completely captivated by the aura of intelligence radiating from the figure.

"Does the Goblin strategist have a good plan to defeat the enemy?" the Empire's general asked.

"Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will win a hundred battles. I have already sent scouts to gather intelligence on the enemy. Understanding their strength will allow us to formulate the best strategy," the Goblin strategist replied.

The Empire's general was further convinced of the Goblin strategist's brilliance after hearing these words.

The war began swiftly.

The Slane Theocracy's army of 20,000 did not underestimate the Empire's forces. Instead of entering the border town, they launched an immediate attack.

The Empire's general promptly ordered his troops to form ranks and prepare for battle.

The Goblin army was positioned on the left flank of the Empire's forces, all armed and waiting for the Goblin strategist's command.

"Clerics, summon angels and initiate the attack!"

"The knights will charge under the cover of the angels!"

The Slane Theocracy's commander issued the orders.

The summoned angels soared into the sky, heading toward the Empire's forces.

However, shortly after the angels took flight, a rain of arrows filled the sky, striking them down.

The angels were shot down one by one, none able to get close to the Empire's army. The ones responsible were the Goblin Longbowmen.

Meanwhile, the Empire's cavalry charged forward.

What awaited them was a barrage of fireball spells raining down from above.

The cavalry of the Slane Theocracy, undeterred, charged boldly forward.

They had absolute confidence in their armor, believing that mere fireball spells could be shrugged off with ease.

However, the outcome was far from what they had expected. The fireballs sent both riders and their mounts tumbling to the ground.

The unexpected result was due to the Goblin Magic Support Unit, which had significantly enhanced the Goblin Artillery Unit.

The fireball spells' power and area of effect had been greatly amplified.

The Slane Theocracy's commander never imagined that the seemingly inconspicuous Goblin army could be so formidable.

When he first arrived on the battlefield, all he saw was a group of small, dark figures on the Empire's left flank.

Now, the Goblin Heavy Infantry began to advance.

The Slane Theocracy's mages readied themselves, prepared to unleash their magic attacks the moment the Goblins came within range.

Before the Goblin army could enter the mages' range, a hail of arrows rained down upon them.

For the unarmored magic casters, the rain of arrows was devastating.

"Retreat! Retreat immediately!"

The commander wasn't foolish; he realized that continuing the battle under these conditions would lead to massive losses.

Their trump cards—the paladins and magic casters—hadn't had the chance to play a decisive role yet.

If this continued, the Empire's army could easily crush them.

"There's an enemy force behind us! It's... it's Goblins!"

Goblin Beast Riders and Goblin Paladins had flanked them before the battle even began.

"Full charge!" (This was the Goblin strategist's command, relayed through Anri.) Anri drew her sword and shouted loudly.

"Charge!" The Goblin Heavy Infantry began to advance at a run.

With Anri's voice, carrying the commanding presence of a Goblin general, even the Empire's forces—without direct orders from their commanders—launched their own charge.

Anri's personal guard, 13 Red Caps, with seven leading the charge, surged toward the Slane Theocracy's forces.

Their mission: eliminate the enemy commanders.

The battle quickly turned into a one-sided slaughter.

"How could this be? We, a superior species, are being defeated by Goblins, a lower species!"

(The Slane Theocracy has long promoted humans as a superior race, looking down on all other species.)

"I can't die here! How can I die here?" The commander of the Slane Theocracy hacked his way through his own soldiers, creating a bloodied path, and fled on horseback toward the border town.

The Goblin Red Caps easily killed the commander who tried to rally the soldiers to resist.

With the commander dead or fled, the soldiers lost their will to fight.

Soon, the soldiers of the Slane Theocracy began to surrender in droves.

Although the commanders of the Slane Theocracy were skilled, the surviving commanders, leading about 5,000 men, retreated to the border town.

Lurenburg, as a border town, still had a significant number of defenders. With the returning troops, they managed to gather a force of just over 10,000.

As night fell, the commanders who had fled to Lurenburg quietly met their end in their quarters.

In the deep of night, the guards at Lurenburg's gates were silently killed, one by one.

It wasn't until the Goblin army had entered the town that the soldiers of Lurenburg finally reacted.

But it was all too late.

The battle was still a one-sided affair, with the Goblin army killing recklessly.

The Empire army could only follow along in a daze as the Goblin army slaughtered indiscriminately.

The Empire general could hardly believe what was happening. What was initially thought to be a tough battle had turned into one-sided slaughter, and they had easily breached the supposedly impregnable Lurenburg.

The ones who opened the city gates were the Goblin assassins, a group of fifty 35-level Goblins forming an assassination team.

Their infiltration and assassination skills were top-notch.

If they had fought head-on, their combat strength might not even match that of 100 Goblin heavy infantry.

But in the darkness, they were the enemy's nightmare.
