"Alright, Chao Lu… I'll leave this to you." Isn't this perfect? I wanted to see Chao Lu's combat ability, and since she offered, let me see what you can do!
"Then! Chao Lu Belmondo… launching!" Chao Lu nodded, making her launch declaration without any emotion. She stood up from Sticky Rice Cake's back, subtly lifting the hem of her Japanese maid long skirt with both hands, bowed to Ellie, and then jumped off Sticky Rice Cake's back.
Hmm… so her name really is Belmondo! I thought Chao Lu was just messing with me back then, Ellie thought, and then ordered Sticky Rice Cake to lower its altitude again, wanting to witness Chao Lu's combat ability firsthand.
As soon as it descended, Chao Lu had already landed. The landing spot she chose was quite subtle; she landed directly between the fortress wall and the Undead troops. When she landed, she also created a large crater, just like Ellie had earlier. Since she landed directly in the middle of the Undead troops, the blast from hitting the ground also blew away quite a few small skeletons.
However, after Chao Lu landed, Ellie heard a very harsh noise, like the piercing static that a broken handheld megaphone would make.
What the heck? Ellie looked closely and saw Chao Lu standing in the center of the crater, holding something that shouldn't exist in this world's setting: a handheld megaphone.
"Uh… is it broken? Tap… tap, hmm, okay. Testing one, two, three, testing one, two, three. Hmm… it's working. This is Nazarick… no, this is Chao Lu Belmondo of Princess Elizabeth's Royal Guard of the Ainz Ooal Gown Magic Kingdom. You have been surrounded by me alone. If you're smart, drop your weapons and get out. If anyone is still holding a weapon before I count to ten, then don't blame me for being impolite," Chao Lu shouted into the handheld megaphone without any emotional tone.
What the heck is this? Ellie didn't know how to even begin to retort. Where did she get a Royal Guard? Besides, Chao Lu, you're not even from Nazarick, are you?
However, how could those Undead stop just because of what a strange, suddenly air-dropped person said? Naturally, they brandished their rusty weapons and swarmed towards Chao Lu.
"One, ten! Alright! I've counted! Since none of you are willing to drop your weapons, then I hereby declare to you trash: death penalty!" Chao Lu showed no hesitation whatsoever towards the swarming Undead. Instead, she calmly put down the handheld megaphone, then once again lifted the hem of her skirt, pulling it upwards.
Then a crisp sound of something heavy and metallic hitting the ground was heard. Ellie saw Chao Lu lower her head, pick up the object that had fallen from under her skirt, and then shoulder it.
The moment Ellie saw what was on Chao Lu's shoulder, she wanted to scream, "Holy crap!!" What the heck is that!
The thing Chao Lu pulled out from her skirt… was also something completely out of place in this world's setting: a quad-barreled rocket launcher.
Although Ellie really wanted to retort, wouldn't firing that thing at such close range cause it to self-destruct? The Undead were practically on Chao Lu's face.
"Heaven and Earth! One-Shot Kill Cannon, fire!"
However, Chao Lu very calmly, still in an emotionless tone, uttered a move name that could get her a lawyer's warning at any moment, and pulled the trigger of the rocket launcher.
The rocket launcher simultaneously fired four rockets. However, these four rockets did not fly towards the Undead. Instead, they skillfully bypassed the Undead, then made a sharp turn and flew directly upwards. This made Ellie even more curious. It already seemed unreliable to use such an explosive device at such close range, but now it was firing into the sky? What was going on?
Just as Ellie was feeling strange, the next second, the four rockets floated into mid-air and simultaneously exploded, scattering countless light particles.
Those light particles, imbued with immense holy power, whizzed down, densely raining upon the Undead on the ground, precisely sweeping away most of the Undead on the Heigen, almost directly eliminating nearly 80% of the trash Undead on the Heigen.
"Just blasted some more boring stuff!" Chao Lu took the quad-barreled rocket launcher off her shoulder, then expressionlessly blew on the still-smoking launcher, and said faintly, with an air of invincible loneliness.
The sudden turn of events probably stunned both sides of the battle. After all, a sudden air-dropped intruder who instantly annihilated almost all troops, whether it was the Evaluation Country's side or the side impersonating the Magic Kingdom, stopped their actions, staring blankly at this inexplicable uninvited guest.
I can't let Chao Lu take all the glory, Ellie thought, still observing from the sky. Since Chao Lu appeared under the guise of her Royal Guard, then she had to show her face. So, Ellie ordered Sticky Rice Cake to descend.
Sticky Rice Cake's performance didn't disappoint Ellie. Sticky Rice Cake also made a direct dive, causing Ligurit, who was still on Sticky Rice Cake's back, to almost lose her grip and fall off. Ellie, however, was prepared and remained steadily standing on Sticky Rice Cake's back.
Naturally… the two sides, who had just been stunned by Chao Lu, then saw the giant dragon that had been circling in the sky, landing on the ground with imposing presence, and roaring as it spread its wings in a display of deterrence.
Afterwards, the giant dragon lowered its head, and then a petite figure was seen on the dragon's head. The figure, with one foot on the dragon's head, stood majestically with her arms crossed, the arrogant Ellie, looking at the few remaining Undead troops.
"Hey! You scoundrels! Where did you come from, daring to impersonate the troops of the Ainz Ooal Gown Magic Kingdom!" Ellie, standing on the dragon's head, shouted loudly. However… because the wind was too strong, Ellie's voice was immediately drowned out by the fierce wind. This was awkward… should she repeat it louder? That would be too embarrassing, wouldn't it?
"Please use this, Lady Ellie." Chao Lu, who had somehow teleported beside Ellie, handed her the handheld megaphone.
"Ahem… ahem! Testing mic, testing mic, red bean bun, jam bread, curry bread, now testing microphone…" Ellie cleared her throat and said a string of nonsensical words, then, gathering her breath, she shouted into the megaphone she was holding.
"You despicable scoundrels! How dare you impersonate the troops of the Ainz Ooal Gown Magic Kingdom! Where is your leader? Get out here, now, before this princess!" Ellie shouted.
However, the roaring wind swept across the entire battlefield, and of course, no one would acknowledge it. This was also within Ellie's expectations.
"Then…" Ellie continued, holding the megaphone, and shouted again.
"I'm going to start! I! Elizabeth Ooal Gown, Princess of the Ainz Ooal Gown Magic Kingdom, hereby swear! To annihilate you scoundrels!" Ellie didn't bother with whatever was behind the scenes. They were all a bunch of chaotic, trash Undead. Even if this army was fake, bringing them out was an insult to Nazarick. Ellie couldn't tolerate this, so… another storm of slaughter began.
… …
On the other side, Ellie's figure was fully reflected in the eyes of Ainz and the other Guardians. Albedo and Shalltear both looked at their daughter's figure reflected in the telescope with infatuated expressions. Aura was also eagerly watching Ellie's activity. Ainz's attention, however, was more focused on the black-haired woman who was tearing apart the low-level Undead alongside Ellie.
