Overlord (book 1)

"Yes, but most soldiers join the army because of their admiration for Captain."

"I remember that you were to also born in a village?"

"Yes, I am ......"

"Village life is not easy and people often have die in their neighbourhood. Suffering from

monster attacks, such were common situation and often causes many casualties, is not it?"

"...... Yes."

"When encountering Monster, even a normal soldier would simply be overwhelmed. If there is

no money to hire specialized adventurers against these Monster, they can only bow to the

Monster and wait."

"...... Yes."

"So you never hoped for help? When needing help and when the nobles don’t move a finger,

who would have the strength to do so?"

"...... They would be only looking forward for a lie, because in fact no one ever helps. The

aristocracy would never give money to the affected villages."

"That being the case ...... Let us prove that the reality is not like this. I want to help the villagers."

The Lieutenant became speechless after remembering his own experience.

"My friend, let us show the villagers what it means to face dangerous while willing to sacrifice our lives, knowing that the brave will come to rescue and that it is true that the strong with help

the weak."

Gasef and the Lieutenant made eye contact and exchanged countless emotional with each

other. Lieutenant finally gave up and responded in a little tired and impassioned tone:

"...... Then let me go and take the leadership of the men. There are numerous who can replace

me, but no one that can replace Captain."

"Don’t be stupid. Ever since my past, my survival rate is relatively high. We are not going there to die, but to save the people of the Kingdom."

The Lieutenant wanted to open his mouth several times, but finally chose to shut up.

"Picked immediately some soldiers to protect the villagers and go to Lantiere with them."

A red sunset shone on the prairie with many shadows. The exact number is 45 people. This

group of people suddenly appeared from empty place. It was clever way of disguise made of

magic.

This group of people did not look like simply mercenaries, travellers or adventurers. At an exact

look, the all wore the same clothes. Wearing equipment that are compiled by a special metal to

increase both mobility and defensive.

Strengthened by magic effects, their clothing surpasses any conventional defences. Caring a

small leather bag, if there were no additional magic sign on top, it would looks like a traveller's

backpack. On their waist, a belt carrying a few bottles of liquid and a cloak on their back which

exudes a magical aura.

Regardless of the money, time and effort, to put together so many magic items was not easy.

The group of candidates who wore this magic equipment, proved that they were support on a

national level. By the look of their equipment, there were no signs of any identity or affiliation.

They were an illegal troops, who must hide their own identity.

The group of people's eyes, looked to the front towards the wasted village. While looking, the

smell of blood and burnt streamed out of the villages. From their eyes one could see that

normally they do not like to watch a cold-blooded ruthless scene.

"...... Fled huh."

Said a dull voice which sounded slightly disappointed.

"...... There is no other way. Prepare to attack the next village to bait him out. We have to lure the beast into our trap."

The men look at Gasef’s shadow departing towards the same direction as a group of people.

“Tell me the next targeted vil age for our bait."

Volume 1

Chapter 2 Part 3 (LN)

In the arena, Momonga prepares his finger to cast a spells on a scarecrow in the corner. Apart

from simple magic damage, the spells that Momonga learned were specialized in instant death

and other “add additional damaging effects”. He has a relatively low amount of non-lethal spells.

In fact, whenever he chooses to simply cast a damage type magic, because Momonga’s class

choice was Necromancer, it will automatically strengthen the magic damage because to the

“add additional damaging effects”. As a result, a mere damage spell deals more damage than

some spell from an enhanced combat class.

Momonga looks at the side and saw that he was exposed to the curious eyes of two children.

His heart felt some pressure, since he felt a certain uncertainty of not knowing whether or not he

meets their expectations.

Momonga secretly looks towards two huge monsters. Their huge size reaches up to three

meters in height. They had a mix of human and dragon bones, highly trained strong muscles

and scales harder than steel to cover these muscles.

They had a dragon’s face, a tail thick like a tree and no wings. They looked like a dragon on two

feet. Their upper arms were thicker than any man's and about as half as long as their body -

holding a thick sword that resembles a shield.

These two Monsters were from the Dragon lineage and were summoned by Aura. As a beast

tamer, she had the ability to control them and she used them to organize the Arena games.
