Chapter 170: Did Ainz do something wrong when guarding the national gate?

Northern tip of the continent
Eldar rule the border
Ainz Ooal Gown, the leader of the exiled forces in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, is caught up in the ultimate contemplation of life.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?
In Ainz’s previous life, or rather, in his self-perception.

It is Suzuki Satoru, a social animal from a cyberpunk society, who went to another world with the game data after the game was shut down.

From being cautious in the beginning, to gradually confirming that no one in the other world could truly shake its rule, it began to swallow up the world.

Then, just when everything was going so well, a terrible force from another world, calling itself the Empire of Man, came and destroyed everything.

The power gap was too great, just like when it crushed the Kingdom’s army, the Human Empire was like an indescribable behemoth to it.

Ainz finally chose to abandon the Great Tomb and escape with the NPCs and treasures. Following the advice of the Golden Princess, he chose the edge of the continent, which was also the territory of another alien force, the Eldar.

The Eldar’s control over the local area is extremely loose, or it can be said that they have no control at all.

So Ainz and the others can naturally blend into the local environment, which is a good thing.
But if this doesn’t even take care of the local greenskins, then it’s obviously not a good thing.

One day, the members of Ainz’s gang, who were originally living in the local city, saw the green-skinned guys all over the mountains.

Ainz had no experience with these giant mushrooms that were a specialty of the Warhammer world. He only knew that these creatures looked a bit like the orcs in the game world.

(During the portal war, there were too few greenskins involved, and Ainz was hiding and trembling the whole time, so there was no contact between the two sides)
But Ainz soon discovered that these savage and crazy greenskins were much more powerful than the orcs in the game.

The local city militias were completely defeated after the first round of contact. These green big guys were not as barbaric or backward as they looked.

They too are equipped with heavy armor (although the workmanship looks like it was pieced together from junk), and drive dangerous war machines (although they also look like they were pieced together from junk).

It even has its own air force and precision (goblin) guided missiles.

The local indigenous forces were no match for them at all, and Ainz didn’t want to get involved in such matters.

Just like it went to rescue Kahn Village out of considerations of profit rather than for the safety of the villagers.

Ainz believed that as for the people in the Great Tomb of Nazarick who were now forced into exile, it was better to have less trouble than more. After all, he didn’t care how many people died inside the Great Tomb.

If you can’t stay here, just run away.

But Albedo suggested that they should now fight against these green monsters and turn this city into the new base of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

Ainz actually didn’t like this suggestion, as he felt it was dangerous.

But this was advice from Albedo, one of the wisest people in the Great Tomb. Demiurge, another person who could be compared with Albedo, is no longer around, so now Albedo’s advice is the most valuable in the Great Tomb.

Although Ainz did not want to take risks, he had to consider it carefully. After all, his professional ability was just that of an ordinary office worker. The reason he was called the King of Wisdom before was mainly due to his overwhelming strength, some luck, and other people’s powerful imagination.

Now that Ainz no longer has that overwhelming strength, he has begun to doubt his luck and is becoming less and less confident in his actions.

In this situation, when the Golden Princess, a highly intelligent primitive human, also agreed with Albedo’s suggestion, Ainz had no choice but to move forward and save people.

Of course, considering that the Sorcerer King’s fame or infamy had already been made known, Ainz still disguised himself to prevent anyone from recognizing him.

It changed the exaggerated black bachelor’s gown it had been wearing for a long time into a gold and white hair robe, and put on a slime with camouflage function on its face.

It mimicked the image of an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. This image was modified by Ainz based on his original image and imitating the appearance of a local person.

Although Ainz can also use illusions to disguise himself, considering that the average level here is much higher than the previous human kingdom, and the Eldar may be able to see through illusions.

So Ainz chose to use the slime that could mimic shapeshifting to create a fake face.

Naturally, Ainz’s most commonly used undead summoning magic could not be used for safety reasons. Ainz chose to use the super-level magic “Heavenly Army Arrival”, which is a magic that can summon six level 80 cherubim as meat shields.

The appearance of the Cherubim is a tall monster with four wings, a lion’s head, equipped with a shield with eye patterns and a spear containing fire. It looks mighty and upright, and can be clearly distinguished from the previous terrifying undead image.

Although Ainz had used this magic in E-Rantel, it was only used once when he went to the Adventurer’s Guild to show his power. Although he used it again during the war with the Human Empire, the people here probably didn’t know about it.

Overall, this is the most suitable super-level magic for Ainz to use to create a meat shield.

As for the long casting time when using super-level magic, this is obviously not a problem.

Ainz didn’t care about the lives of the locals here, and it was impossible for him to use the paid items for them. Especially now that the headquarters of the Great Tomb had been destroyed, all resources had to be saved as much as possible.

Moreover, if more locals died, the effect would be better if Ainz appeared with high-level angels.

Soon, when the greenskins rushed into the city and began to kill, Ainz finished reading the spell, and six cherubim appeared beside him as guards. Albedo changed into a second-level silver full body armor, while Aura put on a cloak to cover her body, picked up a staff, and pretended to be a magic chanter.

Sebastian rarely appears outside, and few people can recognize him. So here he just took off his usual butler uniform and changed into common fighting clothes.

Cocytus did not participate in the battle because of his unique appearance.

The emergence of powerful units like Ainz dealt a significant blow to the greenskins, who had already begun to pursue a technological path, but not much.

Ainz used flying magic to arrive at the front line of the battlefield. Six Cherubim were guarding him, and in front of him was a green-skinned orc taller than the battle ogre.

The orc was dressed in heavy armor, wielding a massive axe in one hand and clutching a huge gun with the other that billowed thick smoke when fired.

Ainz had been observing the battle just now. He knew that the melee combat power of the leading orc was about level 60, so against this orc, Ainz immediately used the ninth-tier single-target attack magic Ten Thousand Thunders.

In an instant, countless silver-white thunders fell from the sky and hit the big orc who was caught off guard, with a significant effect.

If Ainz had chosen his most commonly used instant death magic, Heart Mastery, this time, an interesting misunderstanding would have occurred because greenskins don’t have hearts.

The powerful lightning damage from Wan Lei Ji Mie can directly hit the greenskin and cook the mushroom soup in its stomach.

The big orc fell down after a violent convulsion, and Ainz immediately followed up with a “nuclear explosion”.

This type of explosion can cause an explosion similar to a mushroom cloud, causing dual-attribute damage of fire and wind. In other words, although it is called a nuclear explosion, it is actually just a special effect and has nothing to do with nuclear matter itself.

The damage of this move is weak among the ninth-tier magic, but its advantage is that its attack range is huge and can directly affect enemies within a diameter of hundreds of meters.

As Ainz used the nuclear explosion, a fierce wind of fire immediately arose, blowing violently and incinerating all living things in the area.

The walls of the buildings were quickly blackened and turned yellow under the high temperature, the trees burned and fell to the ground, and a large number of ordinary guys were killed directly by this attack.

The other greenskins were not frightened by the fact that their companions in front of them were killed. Instead, they charged towards Ainz and his men with even greater excitement.

The orc stolen car that was made out of rubbish and the boys fired bullets at Ainz with almost no accuracy.

“Time Stops”

Ainz cast a time spell and was satisfied to see that these greenskins did not suddenly move like the Space Marines before them.

Great.

It just felt like such outrageous creatures couldn’t be everywhere.

While time was stopped, Ainz’s subordinates launched one group attack after another at the greenskins. As soon as the time stopped, a large number of greenskins would fall down again.

Just as Ainz was preparing a wide-range magic, he discovered that someone holding a bone club in the orc team suddenly moved.

Green lightning first appeared in its eyes, and then it started moving in time.

This green-skinned psychic boy seemed very curious about the situation in front of him, but no one moved, which was not waaaagh
So it yelled waaaagh!!!

Then all the green-skinned guys were able to move, and Ainz almost fell from the sky.

Are all the people in the other universe monsters?
However, it was too late to cancel the time stop. In an instant, various explosions occurred one after another, and the boys were blown away again.

When the green-skinned psychic boy saw that this was not going to work, he thought about it and the other boys around him started to shoot themselves in the head.

The Greenskins’ terrifying reproduction rate, coupled with the high birth rate of people with natural superpowers in the other world, has resulted in a large number of people with natural superpowers among the Greenskins.

This psychic boy is a natural born with super powers. As for what his powers are, he himself doesn’t know. He just knows that if he thinks about it, some interesting things may happen.

For example, Albedo, who is currently using Musou, is thinking that she should be a jumping monster.

Then Albedo was frozen in place, with a green light shining on her body.

It doesn’t seem to work?
Maybe I haven’t thought about it enough.

So the psychic boy thought harder, and the boys around him shot a large number of them in the head, killing more than Ainz and the others.

This time, Albedo was transformed into a pink winged jumping animal. (An animal that accompanies beastmen, there are all kinds of animals, with all kinds of uses, from food to wigs, camels, etc.)
The psychic boy grinned, and suddenly he felt a little cold in his chest. He turned around and found Sebastian standing behind him and had punched him through the chest, and then the second punch smashed his head.
