I like traveling the most

After exchanging positions, Ainz in front also found that Xiaolin went to talk to Narberal. Seeing Narberal's arrogant and indifferent appearance, he was immediately anxious.

Speak, you speak!

Didn't you say no!

...If Narberal had a temper, she would definitely reply like this.

In fact, Ainz really wanted to talk to Xiaolin now. It would be great if he could exchange positions with Narberal, but the atmosphere was awkward now. If he exchanged positions again, it would be like cutting off social interaction and showing a gesture of keeping strangers away, which would be bad.

I hope Narberal can talk and bring back some useful information.

...No, forget it.

Thinking of the other party's impatience just now and blurting out the information about the Great Tomb, Ainz thought it would be better not to let her speak.

And he couldn't give up on this side.

He also wanted to know about magic.

Having just arrived in this world, he had a serious lack of information about the development of magic, so Ainz carefully satisfied his curiosity and continued to explore the information and intelligence that this world should have.

Of course, there were also some information that made him dumbfounded. For example: The sea in this world is not salty!

It was completely different from the original knowledge.

After an unknown amount of time, Lukrut suddenly spoke in a somewhat nervous tone:

"Be careful, there is movement!"

Compared to the frivolous look when he talked to Naberal, he was an experienced professional adventurer in front of him, and the others immediately raised their weapons and looked in the direction of his finger.

"Where is it?"

"There, right there."

Hearing Peter's question, Lukrut stretched out his finger and pointed to a corner of the huge forest. Because he was hiding in the forest, the vision was poor and no movement could be seen. Even so, no one questioned it. It seemed that he trusted his companions very much.

"What should we do?"

"We can't force ourselves to go deeper. If they don't leave the forest, we should ignore them."

"Indeed. If we just keep cleaning up, we will delay our trip. Besides, we have to protect our employer, and it would be bad if we get into danger."

"Then follow the plan. Please ask Enfilia to step back and leave the rest to us."

Just as they were discussing loudly, there was movement in the forest, and the monsters gradually appeared.

There were fifteen creatures about the height of a child, surrounding six huge creatures. They had emerald green skin and lean bodies, and they were hunched over with ragged clothes and small wooden sticks, just like the goblins in the game.

As for the other one... it had a flat nose on its crooked face, two protruding fangs in its bloody mouth, bright brown skin, and a mess of dirty black hair that seemed to be fixed with hair wax. The huge monster, about 3 meters tall, was of unknown type.

"The game is different from reality...?"

Although he could understand it and was actually experiencing it, the completely different situation made Ainz a little confused.

There are no ogres in the game.

Almost all the monsters carry tattered leather bags, which seem to be used for long journeys. Looking around at the monsters walking towards the plain, although there is some distance, it is still enough to feel the hostility from the ugly faces.

"There are too many of them..."

"It seems that fighting is unavoidable."

"That's right. The characteristics of goblins and ogres are that they will attack when they see fewer people. Xiaolin, pay attention to protecting Enfilia."

"I know."

It should be said that the wisdom they have can only judge each other's combat ability based on the number of people, which is a bit troublesome.

After communicating with his companions, Peter said to Ainz beside him: "Mr. Momo. We agreed to split it in half before, but how to distribute it now?"

"Can't we split into two teams and deal with the incoming enemies appropriately?"

"Then it will be troublesome if everyone runs to one side. Miss Nabe can use range magic such as [Fireball] to destroy all the goblins in one go?"

"No, I can't use [Fireball]. The strongest magic I can use is [Lightning Strike]."

Naberal flatly refused.

This is the restriction Ainz has given her. Since it is Ainz's order, it will never change even if these people die!

...Unless Xiaolin is in danger.

After a brief thought, Peter said: "【Lightning Strike】 is a magic that penetrates in a straight line, right? How about inducing the enemies to line up and kill them all at once from the side? But in this way, we must build a defense line to resist the enemy's attack..."

"Then let me take charge."

"Is it okay, Mr. Momo?"

"If I face a mere ogre, I will be in a difficult battle. I am just a show-off. Please watch how I can easily kill the ogre."

Ainz's confident voice made the group of 【Black Sword】 show understanding, including the sense of security that it seems that there is no problem in leaving it to him.

Of course, this is intentional.

In addition to establishing the image of a strong man and promoting his reputation, the most important thing is to win Xiaolin's favor, so he secretly looked at Xiaolin who was sitting with Enfilia, but found that the other party was still grinning and had no sense of crisis at all.

Huh? Did I do a bad job? Normally, shouldn't one show admiration, like Enfilia? !

Ainz's confidence was slightly shaken.

Especially when he saw Narberal's admiring look, he even complained that she was just admiring trash that could be killed with a simple wave of the hand. Forget it, if that's the case, then use a more powerful move to get rid of them and attract everyone's attention.

Peter asked worriedly: "Mr. Ainz, do you need support magic?"

"No need. You just need to support your comrades and protect your employer (Nfilia)." Naturally, Ainz didn't need help when dealing with a mere ogre.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

After receiving the answer, Peter said to the others: "Everyone, if we start a war in this state, because it is close to the forest, the enemy may escape, so..."

"We have to do it the old fashioned way, right?"

"Yes, lure them out first. Mr. Momo will resist the enemy's attack. I will contain the ogres. Nina will use defensive magic on me. Lukerut and Dyne will stop the goblins. In addition, it may not be necessary. ...Xiaolin, I leave Miss Nabe's safety to you. If an ogre crosses the defense line, you will be responsible for stopping it. Then Nina will change her priority to clearing out the goblins."

"Understood." X4

The advantage of the team is reflected here. They make good use of their respective strengths to deal with difficult monsters, and their cooperation is quite tacit.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded to show that they understood Peter's instructions. The battle strategy was decided very smoothly, and the tacit understanding between them was excellent. Ainz, who admired him sincerely, let out a soft sigh, and the memory of the YGGDRASIL era was revived again.

But Xiaolin just joined the team, right?

No problem?

Forget it, Narberal will protect him anyway, so there is no need to worry about it.

"Then let's fight."

Peter's voice was serious.

This is not a game, but a life-and-death battle. If you are careless, you will really die.

"Watch the move——"

The first to attack was Lukrut, who stretched the strings of his synthetic longbow until it made a chirping sound.

Snap! The bow string cut through the air, and the arrow flew straight away, landing ten meters away from the goblin who came to the grassland.

The sudden attack made the goblin approaching with a shield laugh scornfully at the archer's attack. There was no doubt that it was laughing at the inaccurate shot.

Of course, the goblins' attacks couldn't hit targets 120 meters away, but they completely forgot about this.

The fact that they were attacked and the huge disparity in numbers made the goblins' violent nature excessively inflated, so they shouted loudly together and sprinted towards Lucroot with all their strength, and the ogres behind them also rushed forward.

The thirst for blood has reached the point of forgetfulness. Not only are there no formations, nor are they holding shields for protection, their heads have become blank.

Seeing that the seduction was successful, Lukroot smiled, and then shot another arrow when the distance between the enemy and the enemy was ninety meters. The arrow missed and shot through the goblin's head. The goblin at the back staggered a few steps, collapsed to the ground and died.

The hand is quite steady.

Taking this as the clarion call to start the battle, Nina launched defensive magic on Peter from behind, and Peter struggled with an ogre. Dyne also quickly took out the seeds from his pocket and scattered them into the ground. The vines that grew out restrained an ogre, causing the irritable monster to howl loudly.

The cooperation is very tacit and smooth, but it only goes so far.

The rest can only be left to Momo and Nabe, but because of Ainz's instructions, Narberal wanted to protect Xiaolin, so Ainz was the only one to fight.

Ainz walked forward leisurely.

His steps didn't look like he was trying to fight a charging monster, but were so relaxed that he looked like he was taking a walk.

As he got closer and closer to the ogre running in front, Ainz crossed his hands behind his back and grasped the hilt of his sword, drawing a wide arc, and two big swords appeared.

The dazzling light that caught the eye made everyone in [Jet Black Sword] take a breath.

The two giant swords in Ainz's hands, which were over 150 centimeters tall, looked very majestic. They were more like valuable works of art than battle props.

The patterns carved into the grooves of the sword's body resemble two intertwined snakes. The front end is like an open fan, and the blade emits a cold, sharp light.

——Hero’s weapons.

Ainz held the famous sword of heroism in both hands. This figure made the [Sword of Darkness] and the others take a breath again. If it was a breathtaking scene just now, this time it was a scene that left people speechless.

The longer the sword, the heavier it is.

Even weapons with lightweight magic are not that easy to cast.

During his short journey, he had already learned that Ainz possessed astonishing arm strength that was beyond ordinary people, but common sense had always been unable to accept that someone could wield a giant sword so easily. However, Ainz was calmly waving it like he was holding a wooden stick in his hand, and his appearance was really majestic.

'how? This amazing first appearance should make him look admiring, right? ’

‘…Huh? Not watching? ! ’

When Mighty first appeared, he thought he could make Xiao Lin admire him and get closer to him, but he didn't expect that the other party turned his head and went to be wary of the goblins surrounding him!

It’s true that you should be careful about what’s behind you in battle, but wasn’t your gorgeous debut a complete failure?

Ainz almost cried.

It's like I'm trying to flatter my favorite goddess, hoping that the other person will look at me more, but I always fail due to various combinations of circumstances.

There is no other way. In that case, let's make a bigger noise.

Ainz looked at the stupid ogre who was confident in his arm strength and rushed toward him without thinking about life and death. A bloodthirsty smile appeared under Ainz's helmet.

The distance between them was getting closer and closer, and the ogre raised his club.

Although the sword in Ainz's hand was very huge, the ogre, who was huge and holding a huge club, had a relatively large attack range. At the moment when the ogre attacked, Ainz had already stepped forward.

With a movement like the wind, he swung the huge sword in his right hand at a faster speed, and the silver-white afterimage flashed by as if cutting through space.

That sword was too shocking. Even if it was not cut at himself, it felt like witnessing death right next to him, which was horrifying.

With just this one sword, it ended.

As if waiting for Ainz to leave, the ogre, who had been standing upright just now, slid to the ground with his upper body, leaving only the lower body motionless. The bright red and internal organs that were sprayed out and the stench that spread around showed that this was definitely not an imaginary scene.

Although they were still fighting, both sides stood still, as if time had stopped, quietly watching this amazing and powerful scene.

One hit to kill!

Even with the ogre's burly body, it still couldn't escape the fate of being cut in two.

"Awesome..."

Someone was whispering in admiration, and it was clearly audible in the silent battlefield.

Cutting in two is not an impossible move. A very small number of sword masters or those with powerful magic weapons can indeed do this. However, it is common sense that it is difficult to use the power of cutting in two with a huge two-handed weapon such as a giant sword held in one hand. The so-called two-handed weapon is a weapon that is held with both hands and uses centrifugal force and the weight of the weapon itself to chop, not just relying on arm strength to swing.

Therefore, Ainz's actions can prove that either his sword is cast with extraordinary superb magic, or his one-arm strength is stronger than the two-arm strength of an ordinary warrior, or both!

How?

My gorgeous slash!

Ainz secretly looked back and found that Xiaolin was looking at him. His original silly smile disappeared without a trace.

For some reason, he felt very proud after successfully showing off in front of Xiaolin, a monster that he could easily kill.

To go one step further.

Seeing the jaw-dropping scene, the ogre stopped involuntarily and retreated with a terrified expression.

Ainz continued to move forward, closing the distance quickly.

"What's wrong, aren't you coming over?"

A slight calm voice sounded on the battlefield, and such a simple word alone frightened the ogres. Because they saw with their own eyes how much difference there was between their strength and the opponent's, and thus had the idea of ​​escaping.

But how could Ainz, who was determined to attack them, let them go? Approaching other ogres at an astonishing speed, it was not at all the speed that a person wearing full body armor should have.

Seeing that he could not escape, the ogre made a turbid sound that sounded like a wail and a shout, and raised the stick in his hand to face the attacking Ainz, but everyone knew that such a movement was too slow.

Approaching the ogre, Ainz swung the greatsword in his left hand horizontally, and the ogre's upper body rotated in the air and landed in a different place from the lower body, which was a horizontal cut in half.

"Mr. Momo... is it a monster?"

Seeing the shocking scene in front of them again, no one spoke to deny Dyne's statement.

Then Ainz stepped forward again, and the ogre's ugly expression froze instantly, and he retreated further.

The goblin circled around the ogre, bypassed Ainz's defense line, and ran to attack Xiaolin and others.

Ainz saw that when the four goblins ran towards the carriage, Xiaolin stood in front of Narberal, and then he waved his hands quickly a few times, and saw that the four goblins seemed to have been paused and suddenly stopped in mid-air.

"Sorry, this road is blocked."

Then, Xiaolin's fingers gently hooked, and the four goblins instantly broke into pieces, with limbs and internal organs scattered around.

"...Huh?" X6

This time, not only the members of the [Black Sword], but also Ainz were surprised.
