The Reincarnation Journey of an Minecraft Player

Chapter 131 Imperial Cavalry and Karn Village

"You mean you can take me back to the kingdom? The Kingdom of Ri Yestize??"

The moment his brain reconnected, Brian immediately understood what Gao Ge had said.

He brushed non-existent dust off his hands, shrugged, and said, "It's like this, but I need your cooperation."

Looking at the blue-haired man in front of him, Gao Ge continued, "Of course, if you don't cooperate, I'll feel very sorry, and then I'll try to keep hitting you until you cooperate~"

Gao Ge revealed a meaningful smile.

Samsara is born with the ability to resurrect people. If there is no large-scale resurrection, it does not involve summoning Yama, and therefore does not affect its use in other worlds.

Gao Ge never hesitates to kill someone like Brian who has accepted a mission to kill him.

You die and you live, you live and you die, there will always be a time when you can accept your own circumstances.

However, as can be seen from the original work, Brian is a very sensible person, especially when facing stronger opponents, he slides to his knees very quickly.

Even his secret sword, Tiger Fall Flute, was eventually modified by himself into the secret sword, Nail Clipper.

It is clear that he was quite proud of the fact that he was able to break Shalltear's nail with a single, powerful blow.

"I'll cooperate! Of course I'll cooperate!"

Brian scrambled to his feet as if nothing had happened, brushed the dirt off his face, and said, "However you need me to cooperate, I'll do whatever it takes to get back!"

Brian deeply agrees with the saying, "Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix."

In the kingdom, he was a genius swordsman who could fight on par with the warrior captain, and a top-tier mercenary at the pinnacle of power.

But what about in this world?

Although he is a pillar of strength, the number of people who can defeat him can stretch from the east to the west of the continent!

It's just an insignificant roadside spot!

Gao Ge likes people who know how to adapt to the times. If Brian had any higher aspirations, he would probably have a lot of resistance.

The Overload universe has a very high energy level ceiling, but 99% of people's lifespan is already capped at the Steel level.

This is the highest peak that ordinary humans can reach; surpassing the level of refined steel is already known as the "mythical realm".

If this were a cultivation world, Brian's ascension to the upper realm would be considered a fortuitous event, giving him more and better opportunities to pursue the Great Dao.

"Everyone has their own pursuits. Someone as sensible as you might have a bright future!"

Gao Ge placed the signpost on the spot, then grabbed Brian's wrist with one hand.

Once the teleportation permission was confirmed to be unlocked, he pulled Brian along to the land of Ri Yestijer.

Mercenary camp.

The world of Overload is more like traditional Japanese fantasy, where powerful beings above the limit usually remain hidden, and only a handful of experts are active in the open.

The mercenary camp is entirely constructed of wood, with living quarters carved out from natural caves in the mountainside.

Without a doubt, Brian is the strongest in this camp.

Gao Ge carefully put away the directional guide stone, feeling the abundant energy permeating the air, and felt a slight sense of doubt.

He didn't know much about Overlord, having only seen a bit of the anime adaptation.

I find it quite puzzling why the upper limit of the abilities of ordinary people in this world is so low.

"The history of these countries must be quite long. With such abundant natural energy, it should be enough to cultivate a character who could rival Ainz Ooal Gown!"

Putting his doubts aside for the time being, Gao Ge looked at the familiar three-day countdown and patted his forehead in slight worry.

I forgot about that. I need to increase my value in this world first in order to prolong the "visa time".

After a moment's thought, obtaining the world's high-grade certificate as soon as possible was undoubtedly the fastest way.

Looking at the pixelated portrait on the minimap, Gao Ge shouted, "Brian!!"

The sound of rapid footsteps came from inside the cave in the distance, and then a figure suddenly leaped out, rolled several times in mid-air, and landed steadily in front of Gao Ge.

"You actually brought me back! I really don't know how to thank you enough!"

Brian took a deep breath, finding the chaotic mercenary camp even more captivating than Arlinge.

Seeing Brian's expression of returning to his chicken-like state, Gao Ge couldn't bear to shatter his dream and told him that it wouldn't be long before chaos ensued here as well.

"Money, intelligence, identity endorsement—there are many ways you can thank me."

"That's what Gao Ge said bluntly."

If he has an advantage to use, he will naturally use it. As a local of the Steel-level, Brian's words still carry some weight in the territory of the Kingdom of Ri Yestijer.

"no problem!"

Brian was quite generous. After listening to Gao Ge's request, he even offered to take him to a nearby big city to get a mercenary certificate and obtain at least an "Orichalcum" mercenary badge.

"Orichalco?"

Brian awkwardly scratched his head and laughed, "It's just a coincidence that the names are the same. The orogen here is roughly equivalent to gold in Arlinge... maybe a little weaker."

Orichalco is second only to Steel. After all, as the highest-level mercenary badge in the world, Steel badges must have strength and achievements recognized by the public.

Gao Ge was already very satisfied to receive Orichalcos at the very beginning of his registration. You should know that when Ainz Ooal Gown first arrived in this world, he could only register at the lowest level, Bronze, and was treated the same as an ordinary villager.

"The limit is still three days. Isn't this kind of opportunistic behavior acceptable?"

Gao Ge frowned slightly, then used Brian's intelligence channels to find out that the kingdom's border was in conflict with a neighboring country.

"In terms of timing, I was probably around the time when Ainz Ooal Gown and his Great Tomb of Nazarick had just arrived, or even a little earlier than him."

Kahn Village, the place where the whole story begins, is undoubtedly a great starting point.

Here, almost simultaneously, all the major powers of the world appeared.

The Great Tomb of Nazarick, Kingdom, Empire, Theocracy.

It can be said that as long as you can appear in Kahn Village and have a certain impact on the original progress of the plot, your survival value will definitely increase significantly.

After letting Brian go and let him farm on his own, Gao Ge used the Explorer's Compass to locate the position of Carne Village.

If there is enough time, then proceed as planned.

If time is running out, Gao Ge also has his own backup plan: go directly to the kingdom to challenge and defeat the warrior chief, and it shouldn't be a problem to continue for a few months or even a year.

As its name suggests, Karn Village is a small village located on the outskirts of the kingdom.

The village had no decent fortifications; only the surrounding jungle could be considered a natural barrier.

This was clearly no obstacle for the Imperial cavalry, who possessed extraordinary power.

"I don't recall these roaming cavalrymen being from the Empire. Maybe they're from the Theocracy in disguise? I'm not sure. I'll search them again when I have time."

With the Explorer's Compass, Highsong can constantly monitor whether the Great Tomb of Nazarick has arrived.

As long as the compass gives a specific direction, it means that Ainz Ooal Gown has arrived.

Landing near the village of Kahn, Gao Ge looked at the village, which didn't even have a fence, and strode forward.

The surrounding area is covered with lush green leaves and has a strong, fresh scent of grass and trees.

Looking up, you can see many villagers doing farm work.

Outsiders rarely come to Kahn Village, so when the villagers see strangers coming, they are all a little nervous.

They relaxed when they noticed that Gao Ge was not wearing armor or weapons.

"May I ask who you are?"

Kahn Village is just a small village on the outskirts of the kingdom, and not many people even know about it.

Normally, only merchants from nearby towns come to buy the herbs they pick and the crops they harvest, and even the merchants who come are familiar faces.

"A passing adventurer, oh, I mean a mercenary."

Gao Ge took out a bronze-colored metal nameplate and waved it in his hand before saying, "I plan to rest in the village for a few days to recover. Are there any restaurants or hotels around here?"

"Ahaha, this one..."

There were indeed no hotels in the village, but when they saw the money Gao Ge had taken out, they all said they could leave their houses vacant and use them as hotels.

In a place like this, one shouldn't expect to live in anything fancy, but fortunately, Gao Ge isn't a pretentious person.

After paying the money readily, he moved into the house where the village chief lived.

There weren't many people in the village, and the only person who needed special attention was a girl with chestnut hair and three long braids.

In the original storyline, Anri possessed a special talent for domination, and in later storylines, she summoned an entire goblin army using the "Goblin Horn."

Of course, right now she's just an ordinary country girl, but with a lot of strength.

The younger a person is, the more curious they are about unfamiliar things. Gao Ge could even feel An Li secretly casting her gaze over him.

"A goblin army, huh? Too bad I don't like goblins... well, I don't really like non-human species."

Gao Ge muttered to himself while keeping a close eye on the explorer's compass.

In the early stages, Ainz Ooal Gown still retained a trace of humanity, but as time went on, the human part of him was rapidly fading away, and he was completely transforming into an undead creature.

To be honest, watching Overlord is indeed very enjoyable because viewers are immersed in the protagonist's perspective.

From a human perspective, the entire Great Tomb of Nazarick is practically a giant demon king's city.

Ainz Ooal Gown shows no mercy when killing ordinary people.

In wars between nations, death is normal; singing praises is none of our business.

But things are different when facing other races.

"We must give Xiao Gu a wonderful first encounter experience..."

After sitting there for twenty minutes, Gao Ge was already starting to get restless.

Just as he was about to take out his computer to start a tense and exciting game of Extreme Survival, he suddenly felt a slight vibration.

The tremors grew stronger and stronger, as if dozens of horses were galloping.

At the same time, the constantly spinning compass needle suddenly stopped, displaying a fixed coordinate.

"They're here!"

The Great Tomb of Nazarick is in place, and this tremor clearly comes from Imperial cavalry, whether or not the Slane Theocracy is in disguise!

Gao Ge quickly walked out of the room, while the villagers outside were in a state of panic.

In this world, villagers can obtain professional ranks simply by farming and working.

Anli, for example, has the professional level of a farmer, and her senses are much more acute than those of an ordinary person.

"Cavalry! Cavalry!! Everyone, hide!!"

Several villagers who were running around accidentally bumped into Gao Ge, and their eyes lit up with hope when they saw him.

"My lord! Could we hire you to guard our village? If we had a powerful mercenary, those knights might not bother us!"

Bandits pass by like a comb, soldiers pass by like a fine brush.

This statement applies equally well in this medieval-themed world.

The villagers, living on the border of the country, understood these principles even better, and there were many scoundrels among the soldiers who killed innocent people and took credit for their crimes.

"Of course, consider it a way of repaying you for providing me with a place to rest."

Gao Ge never displays his armor or equipment, so he doesn't seem to have much of a deterrent effect.

But it doesn't matter, he can disguise himself as a "magic chanter" in this world.

No matter what world you're in, the mage's status is above that of a kitchen knife.

Seeing the singer suddenly appear out of nowhere, the previously noisy and panicked villagers immediately calmed down.

A spellcaster capable of flight! We're saved!

This cavalry unit is very disciplined; you can tell at a glance that they are well-trained.

Looking down from the air, their orderly charging formation was visible. But really, was such a large-scale attack on an undefended village necessary?

These cavalrymen didn't seem to have the habit of looking up at the sky, and their charging speed didn't decrease at all.

In response, Gao Ge could only resort to some means to demonstrate his presence.

Without drawing his weapon, Gao Ge simply formed hand seals, gathering magical energy in his mouth, and chanted, "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!!"

I've always wanted to learn it, but I've never had the time or energy to try the Iron Magic.

Instead, they tried ninjutsu first.

He's added quite a few standard ninjutsu techniques to his skill list, but they're not very powerful and don't offer any rule-based bonuses. However, it has to be said that being able to use them instantly is definitely more convenient than switching weapons to unleash skills.

A blazing fireball suddenly crashed down from the sky, startling the charging knights so much that they immediately reined in their horses and looked up to see what was happening.

This time they finally noticed Gao Ge's presence.

The lead cavalryman immediately burst into curses, "Wasn't it said to be just an ordinary village? Why are there high-level magic casters here?!"

Spellcasters capable of using flight are extremely rare among humans.

After gaining air superiority, these knights didn't have many good ways to deal with the situation before their magic power ran out.

"Should we retreat, Captain?"

The lead knight squinted, thought for a moment, and then called out, "My friend, this is a misunderstanding. We'll leave now!"

Just kidding, a magic caster of that level could kill at least half of the cavalry. Who would dare bet that they wouldn't be the ones to die!
