Re-Estize Kingdom
Royal Capital
The Empire recognizes the Nazarick organization,
led by Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown, as a country and ally.
Emperor of the Baharuth Empire, Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix.
The land near E-Rantel is Sorcerer King Gown's property.
The Re-Estize Kingdom should return such land promptly to its original owner.
The Empire shall cooperate with Sorcerer King Gown
by invading the Kingdom and allowing him to regain control of his land.
This is an act of justice to liberate his country from unrighteous rule.

There is no record in our history
that a man named Ainz Ooal Gown has ever owned the land near E-Rantel.
There is no legitimacy in a demand such as this.
So, rubbish claims of a lunatic.
Noble Faction
Marquis Boullope
They must have run out of reasons for their yearly invasions.
Noble Faction
Count Lytton
Noble Faction
Marquis Raeven
I wonder if that is the case...
However, have we not heard that name before, Head Warrior Stronoff?
I am sure it is the magic caster who saved my life.
I see.
So he had saved you, thinking you were one of his people.
Control yourselves.
Royal Faction
Margrave Urovana
We are standing before the king.
Well, there is no need to pay heed to such a magic caster.
Royal Faction
Marquis Blumrush
Please allow me to speak.
Royal Faction
Marquis Pespea
We cannot accept this declaration from the emperor of the Empire.
We have no choice but to go to war.
Wonderful!
That is...!
There is no other choice!
My Head Warrior.
Let me hear your thoughts on the matter.
However...
Allow me to humbly speak.
This war will not end easily like the yearly wars before it.
Your reasoning?
Right. It is the existence of the great magic caster, Ainz Ooal Gown.
My king.
Can we not give the area of E-Rantel to the Empire? No, to that magic caster?
Those words are very unlike the valiant Chief Warrior we know!
However, it is not a bad idea.
We could avoid war by giving up a single city.
To avoid causing grief to his people is one of the duties of a king.
Would not a true king sacrifice himself before allowing his people to suffer?
That land is under direct control of the king.
If you wish for him to give that land to the enemy, why not offer up your own?
Chief Warrior, your words may invite needless suspicion upon you.
That's right! That's right!
My head warrior would never betray me.
This magic caster must be strong enough to warrant such words.
However, I cannot do as you suggest.
A ruler cannot just hand over land without a fight.
Your Majesty, forgive me for my foolish words.
Well, then. Let us discuss things realistically.
Your Majesty.
If the Empire is sure to attack, we must all prepare ourselves.
Marquis Raeven, His Majesty is the only one who...
Stop.
How far do you think the Empire will go if the army of His Majesty falls?
To protect my own domain, I will use all my power to support His Majesty.
Hmph. You only think about your own gain.
It is our duty to stand on the frontlines in war!
I agree.
Though I am young, I also wish to fully support His Majesty.
The Royal Faction has gotten stronger after His Majesty drove out Jaldabaoth.
Right now, he must maintain his image as a strong king.
However...
Right. We have decided to go to war.
Delay our response to the Empire for as long as possible.
Understood.
I believe we can delay the war for as long as two months.
Yes.
Gather soldiers to E-Rantel before the Empire receives our declaration of war.
Of course, I will go as well.
Father! I shall accompany you!
No, no. You are first in line to inherit the throne, Brother.
I should be the one—
No need!
Prince Barbro. You are a valuable heir to the throne,
as well as the fiancé of my dear daughter.
Are you against my attendance?!
A man must yield results in the battlefield.
I shall send my strongest soldiers with you... totaling 4,000.
Truly?!
Is that acceptable, Your Majesty?
I will allow it.
Thank you very much, Father!
I, Barbro, will be sure to cut off the head of El Nix!
Wonderful!
That stupid prince!
The head of El Nix?!
They are all fools!
How do they not realize the danger our Kingdom is in?!
The Great Nobles only quarrel over political power!
Marquis Blumrush is even secretly providing information to the Empire for money!
The king as well!
I know he thinks of the people, but he doesn't use his head at all!
Prince Zanac needs to inherit the throne quickly or the power struggle will not end.
This is the result of giving the eldest Prince Barbro pity!
Such a foolish parent!
Oops.
Come in.
Oh! My sweet little Lee!
Wush da matter, little Lee?
Dear.
What is it?
It is not good for a child's development to speak in such a childish fashion.
Hmph! Rubbish.
That is a baseless rumor!
Right, little Lee? What's going on today?
Um, today's dinner!
Yes? Yes?
It's food you love, Papa!
Wow! That makes me so happy!
What's for dinner?
Yes. It is Gabura fish meunière.
I see.
What's wrong, little Lee?!
I wanted to tell you!
Oh! That's Papa's fault! Sorry, little Lee!
Why did you tell me?!
Sorry, little Lee!
Papa is stupid so he already forgot!
So will you tell me what we're eating?
You won't tell me? Papa is gonna cry...
Huh? Um, it's the fish you love, Papa!
I see! Papa is so happy!
Papa wants to give his sweet little Lee everything he has!
So Papa is going to try his very best.
-2 Months Later-
Fortress City
E-Rantel
Everyone, thank you for your hard work.
Preparations for the appointed day are complete.
I would like to begin discussing our strategy for battle.
A few days ago, we received a declaration for the place of battle.
Is it not the same as last year?
Correct.
The land covered in a cursed fog: the Katze Plains.
Does that mean the Empire plans to invade the same way it has every year?
Unfortunately, I do not think that is the case, Marquis Blumrush.
I had my subordinates, a team of ex-orichalcum level adventurers, scout the enemy.
They reported six different coats of arms.
Six?!
Yes.
Their army is 1.5 times greater than last year, three-fourths of the Empire's entire forces.
On top of that, there is a good chance Ainz Ooal Gown will stand on the battlefield.
A single magic caster will not sway the results of battle.
Well, it would be good to estimate that Gown has the strength of 5,000 soldiers.
F-Five thousand?!
I believe the Chief Warrior to have the strength of a thousand soldiers.
If such a man is on guard, five times that amount seems appropriate.
I trust the eyes of the Chief Warrior.
Thank you very much.
Your Majesty. I would like to give the prince a mission.
It is said that the one named Gown saved Carne Village.
We should send some forces there and gather information from the villagers.
I would like to give the prince that responsibility.
Marquis!
That is not a bad idea.
Father!
My child. I command you.
Go to Carne Village and gather information from the villagers.
I have no choice but to obey the orders of the king.
Your Majesty, one more question.
Who is going to lead all the different units in this war?
I believe I would be the most fitting.
Marquis Raeven.
Yes.
I shall leave it to you.
Understood.
Marquis Raeven, my unit will be under your care.
Tell me if you need anything.
Thank you very much.
Any other comments or suggestions?
Then, prepare to move to the field of battle!
Good work, Your Majesty.
Yes. That was truly tiring.
A truly foolish son.
Yet, I cannot let my dear child go to the battlefield to die.
I believe that Marquis Boullope was thinking the same.
Probably so.
I am sure that he fully wishes that boy to inherit the crown.
In other words, he wishes to keep the prince safe
while yielding results for the victory of our kingdom.
Such a problem.
If only I took action sooner...
Before the nobles split into two completely separate factions...
How foolish of me.
I wish to leave a good kingdom to the child who will inherit this throne.
So, is this not my chance?
There are many who follow me due to the last incident.
Is this not our chance to deal a blow to the Empire and gain a few years of peace?
Your Majesty...
I was waiting for you, Marquis Raeven.
I apologize for all the trouble I have caused.
No, no. Do not worry yourself, Your Majesty.
It would have been foolish to allow Marquis Boullope to lead our army.
He only knows the commands attack and retreat.
And if you had personally taken command of all the units,
the Noble Faction would have resisted and may pull out their soldiers.
As such, I was the only viable option.
Though, with all the work to be done,
I wish to retire to my domain for a few months after this war.
Sorry for the trouble.
Please stop, Your Majesty!
I have also done many things without receiving your permission.
If I had taken different measures sooner...
Chief Warrior?!
I have always held disrespect for you, unaware of your true intentions.
Do not worry about such things.
Please, raise your head.
If I am not punished for my foolishness,
this guilt will never cease!
I understand.
Then, allow me to call you Master Gazef instead of Chief Warrior henceforth.
I have always held you in admiration.
Thank you very much.
Then, let us begin.
I am here to discuss what actions the Kingdom should take from now on.
How many of these men will come back alive?
Is it not the job of those who stand on top to protect the common people?
Ainz Ooal Gown...
What is that man thinking?
At the very least, he is not a man we should try to fight.
The adventurers are not participating in battle?
Yeah.
Though, Lockmeyer is an ex-adventurer who works under Marquis Raeven now.
I see.
Ouch! M-Master Stro—
Call me Gazef.
However, allowing one wearing gold armor to come up behind you unnoticed
shows you are slacking.
M-My apologies!
It's not bad to relax every once in a while.
You noticed me, Brain.
Of course I did.
You were letting your presence just ooze out.
Climb, it is important to notice such presences while protecting Princess Renner.
Oh, that's what you're talking about.
Climb, when you train on your own, you forget to sharpen those kinds of senses.
Not everyone fights head on with a sword in hand.
Isn't that right?
As you say.
Lord Gazef, thank you for pointing out my shortcomings.
No, as one who serves the royal family, you are one of my subordinates.
However, I was worried about the eyes of the nobles and did not lead you properly.
Even now, I'm leaving all of that responsibility to another.
There is no need for thanks.
By the way, are the two of you free right now?
What were the two of you doing earlier?
Oh, we went to visit Momon of Darkness.
Oh! His home is here in E-Rantel.
Right.
So we went to him for some advice on Shalltear Bloodfallen.
The time and place I met that monster overlapped with the Honyopnyoko he defeated.
Honyopnyoko, huh?
Honyopnyoko... I heard it had overwhelming power!
I believe Master Momon defeated it with a legendary magic item.
You know the story well.
On top of that, Momon was chasing after two vampires.
There's a good chance the other was Shalltear Bloodfallen.
I see. And what happened?
Well, he wasn't home.
How unfortunate.
I wish to talk with Master Momon myself one day.
What an amazing view!
True. This is pretty amazing.
Those are the Katze Plains we will be fighting in.
That's right. Undead wander within its fog.
It will be our battlefield in a few days.
So, why did you bring us to a place like this?
Is there a noble you need us to murder?
Gazef, I owe you a lot.
I'd do dirty work for you in a heartbeat.
Nothing like that.
Brain, I do not wish you to do such a thing.
I just thought it would be nice for all of us to talk alone together.
I see.
You have a lot of free time for being Chief Warrior.
Oh, yes.
Climb, I do have some business with you.
Yes!
That armor of yours stands out too much.
Shouldn't you change its color before you head into the field?
Thank you for your concern.
However, I cannot do such a thing.
If I yield results in armor as blatant as this,
Princess Renner will be sure to gain a better reputation.
For that sake, I do not mind risking my life.
Princess Renner has also requested that I fight without changing the color of my armor.
I see. Then, pay no heed.
Don't worry, Gazef. I'll watch over Climb.
I'll save him, no matter how dire the situation.
Brain, you would definitely win against any of the Four Imperial Knights of the Empire.
However, if by any chance you come before Master Gown, it will be your end.
That strong, huh?
He's that powerful?
Yes.
Got it. I'll be careful.
There is a pub that serves really good food in the royal capital.
Let's celebrate there once this war is over.
It'd be great if we end up celebrating a victory.
Oh, u-um, me, as well?
It'll be my treat.
Can you drink, Climb?
Well, I've never drank before, so I do not know.
I see. Then, it'll be a good chance to try.
There will be times where you have to go and drink for social reasons.
It is a good idea to know how it feels to be drunk at least once.
I understand. Then I will come along.
Right! The three of us must gather here again safely.
Do not throw your life away!
To the Sorcerer King! Respectfully bow!
It's a deep and silent night
Nanimo kikoenai towa ni nemure
I can't hear anything, sleep into eternity
Thank you for your welcome.
I, Nimble Arc Dale Anoch, will be your humble guide.
I see.
I will probably cause you some trouble, but I am in your care.
I am a general of the Imperial Army, Carvain.
Nageki ikari uzu wo maki todoroita sakebi mo
Sorrow, anger, winding a swirl, a roaring scream too
It is a truly a great honor to have you assist my unit in this battle.
Yami ni mayoi koe mo naku
Without even a voice lost inside the darkness,
It was a request from Master Jircniv.
I am happy to work with you.
kiete itta
I disappeared
By the way, I heard you wish to use my magic as the signal for battle.
Damashiai mo uragiri ni sae
Deceiving too and even betraying
If that is the case, may a portion of my army join us in battle?
Mu imi datta nanimo nokosazu
It was all nonsense, leaving nothing behind
That would be a great help and honor.
It's a deep and silent night
However, we plan to attack as early as the day after next...
Nanimo kikoenai subete ga nemutta
I can't hear anything, everything was asleep...
That is not a problem.
Can you hear me, Shalltear?
Soshite sekai wa mata kurikaesu mujihi na yume
And the world was repeating again, a ruthless illusion
Open a gate where I stand and send me my soldiers!
This is my army!
Shit. Marquis Raeven...
I should be the one who inherits the crown,
but because he sided with my little brother...
On top of that, I've been sent on a stupid child's errand.
Could it be that father is trying to prevent me from yielding results as well?
Prince.
Are you not feeling well?
No, do not worry, Baron Cheneko.
I was merely thinking about how to complete father's orders.
How wonderful.
As expected of the future king!
Hey.
What is it, Your Majesty?
I order you to hurry the soldiers and deal with Carne Village quickly.
If we do that, we shall be able to return to E-Rantel by tomorrow night.
Then, with a short nap,
we will be able to head to the Katze Plains before the morning sun rises.
Among the 5,000 soldiers here, 4,500 are foot soldiers.
Some will fall with exhaustion at that rate.
Don't misunderstand.
We must defeat the Empire in the Katze Plains at all costs!
Have them run even if you have to whip them!
Understood.
Next Episode
Right before the battle between the Empire and the kingdom,
a unit from the royal army arrives at Carne Village.
Their numbers total 5,000,
and their leader is the first prince, Barbro.
After receiving Lupisregina's report,
I watch over the events using a magic item.
Though there are goblins, they are no match for an army of 5,000.
The village will have no option but to surrender.
Chapter 11, Another Battle.
Hm?
What in the world just happened?!
