Chapter 6 Battle for Carne Village Part 1 and Light Wisdom's True Ability.
After Ainz told the two sisters his name, he began to test if his summoning undead skill works in this world.
"[Summon Mid-Tier Undead: Death Knight]!" Ainz called out as black ooze began forming out of his hand and began to reach out to a nearby dead knight.
As the black ooze merge with the dead knight's corpse while shaking its body.
And the dead knight began to rise, suprising both Ainz and the two sisters, as the risen dead knight began to transform into the iconic Death Knight in Yggdrasil.
'I knew this world has different rules than Yggdrasil, but it seems to have a more realistic effect here as well.' Ainz thought as he examined the Death Knight before he gave out the order.
"Death Knight I order you to kill the knights who dressed in that armor, and don't kill any villagers along the way." Ainz said as he pointed at the dead armored knight.
And then something unexpected happen, as the Death Knight suddenly replies to Ainz, suprising him even further.
"I'll do as you command, O Great Lord of Death, your wish shall be granted by this lowly servant of yours." The Death Knight said in a booming voice before he ran towards the village with the intent to obey his Lord.
Ainz's undead jaw dropped at the words which the Death Knight spoke, that made him speechless.
'Did he? Did he just talked!? It should be impossible, he shouldn't be able to talk like that!' Ainz thought as he was shocked to the core of how surreal it is for Death Knight to speak and talk like an intelligent being.
'It might be this world's rule? Yeah maybe, that should explain it, its enough proof for me, that the Death Knight to be able to speak like that.' The Overlord thought as it is enough for a good explanation.
Ainz looked at the girls and Enri asked him "What was that Lord Ainz?" She questioned him, her voice clearly in shocked and fear at the scene beheld her.
Ainz replied to her "Umu ,it was a Death Knight I just summoned." He said and then he added "I honestly didn't think, that he would speak so well, most Death Knights I summoned only grunted or silently obeyed me." His words filled truth as he explained to Enri.
He then quickly changed the topic and said "Anyway, I should be going to village to check if he doesn't get carried away with my orders."
Ainz quickly walked away as the girls were convinced by his words and stayed inside the dome for further notice from Ainz.
Ainz has only one thought of this 'This world is really strange.' those were his final thought as he walks towards the village unopposed.

Carne Village.
We see a villager trying to run away by the knight, as the said knight began to throw away in the air, as he died with a painful thud as he landed, already dead by the impact.
The villager saw how the knight who chased him died, his eyes looked in fear of what he saw that was the cause that the knight died.
A creature ,a being who are considered as humanity's greatest enemy.
An undead.
Before he could say anything, The Death Knight to roar and said in a booming voice "O foolish knights ,ye who hath angered my lord, who is the Lord of Death, for he hath given me his orders to slay you, for trespassing his divine and holy land in which he hath walked upon in ages past before ye hath stepped upon."
After the Death Knight said those words, fear began to rise up and the knights trembled at the words he had told them.
"We've angered a God!" One of the knights cried out. "What have we done!" Another knight cried out as well.
"EEEEEEIIIIIIEEEEEEE." A loud shriek is then heard as the knights (including the Death Knight) looked at the person who made that loud shriek.
"Ahhh! somebody kill that awful creature." A man cried out possibly the head captain of the knights "As your Head Captain, I Belius order you to kill that creature this instant!" Forget it, he's the Head Captain of the knights alright.
None of the knights move, in fear that they will be killed of what most likely be the messenger of the God of Death had sent to them.
Then the Death Knight spoke to Belius "Then you must be the one who lead this group then." The Death Knight said as he walks towards him.
Belius let out another shriek as the Death Knight came closer and closer to him.
Then Belius cried out to his men "Save me! Be my shield and I would reward you 200 no 300 gold." Belius said desperately to his.
As the Death Knight came closer and closer, Belius took a step back in fear.
Then Belius felt something grabbing his leg, as he looked down he saw one of the knights that were killed by the Death Knight turned into zombies and said "Beliussss." its voice filled with mourning.
"Ahhhh!" Belius screamed as he fell down on his back.
And then the Death Knight started stabbing Belius in the chest.
The Death Knight stab and stab while Belius screamed for his men to save him.
After one last stab Belius has his life ended by the Death Knight.
And then the Death Knight saw the remaining knights holding their swords in fear.
Before the Death Knight could do anything, a voice is suddenly heard.
"That is enough now Death Knight, stand down and lower your blade." The voice ordered the Death Knight to stop and then the Death Knight obeyed
"I'll do what you shall say my Lord." The Death Knight said as he lowered his sword.
The remaining knights saw who was responsible for controlling the Death Knight, and what they saw, clearly increased their fear.
Floating above them is a being dressed in jet-black clothing, a being that easily controlled the Death Knight, and one can easily named the Master of Death.
The God of Death has come for them.
"Greetings foolish knights, my name is Ainz Ooal Gown." Ainz introduced himself to the knights as he floated down his aura exuded that of a true ruler.
"Have you met my Death Knight charming isn't he." Ainz said as pointed he pointed at the Death Knight.
"Now then throw down your swords and--" he was interrupted as swords were thrown down by their owners as they prostrated him.
"Please forgive us of our foolishness, O Great Lord of Death we didn't know that we trespassed of the holy land you once walked upon." One of the knights said as he pleaded to Ainz for forgiveness.
Ainz mind went blank, his eyes went dim, as he let out a confused "Eh?" as he didn't understand a single damn thing.
Then the same knight said "We have seen the error of our ways, all thanks to your faithful servant for he helped us see our way and brought us back to our senses." his voice filled with humility and respect, as he spoke to Ainz.
Ainz finally understood of what has just happened.
'Great Lord of Death? Is that what the Death Knight spoke to them.' Ainz thought as why the Death Knight spoke so highly of him.
Then something clicked in Ainz's mind as he putted the pieces together as he had one conclusion.
'Its because of my level, no wonder why he spoke to me so highly to myself, its because he saw me as a stronger being than anything else he ever encountered that's why he was overjoyed to spread my name to them.' The Overlord thought as he realizes how likely the Death Knight's loyalty would reach to a over-fanatical level.
He then looked towards the knights and said "Umu, I understand of what have you said." he then looked at the Death Knight "I shall reward you later Death Knight for the services that you fulfilled today."
Then the Death Knight replied "I am unworthy of your praise my Lord." his voice filled in humility and embarassment at his Lord for praising him like that.
"Umu I insist Death Knight, for greater work means greater reward for you." Ainz said to the Death Knight before turning to the knights.
"Now then where was I, ah yes." Ainz said returning to the aura before he was abruptly interrupted.
"You have two choices: 1 you must serve me in return I shall spare your life 2 run away and you shall die, which of these choices should you choose?" Ainz questioned the knights.
The knights quickly said their answers as the same knight spoke to Ainz "We shall serve you for all eternity O Great Lord of Death, also our childern and our children's children."
Ainz was a bit surprised at this, but regained his composure as he said to them "Very well, I shall now recognize you as my followers." he then casted a spell at them.
And then appeared the emblem of Ainz Ooal Gown imprinted at the side of their necks as proof of them being his followers.
"As your first order, as being my followers will be." Ainz paused a bit as he looked around, and said to them "Will be apologizing the villagers of the destruction that you've made, now go." Ainz ordered them, and they all reply "Yes sir!" before spreading out to apologize every villager as they can see.
Ainz then ordered the Death Knight to dispose the zombie minions he had made.
The Death Knight gladly obeyed Ainz as he began to dispose his zombie minions.
Ainz then walked towards the village chief, as the said chief still gaped at him before dismissing the thought as Ainz asked the village chief for information.
The village chief asked Ainz why he needed information.
Ainz replies to them as he didn't want to be ignorant to the world around him.
Before Ainz enters the village chief's house he has only thought 'This world is really strange.' that was final thought before he enters the building.

Village Chief House
Now we see Ainz questioning the village chief how the currency works, what is the name of the surrounding area and countries etc.
After a while of questioning, a villager came inside the room and said.
"Chief its time for the burial to start." he said as the village chief stood up and asked Ainz.
"If it not so troublesome for you Lord Ainz, but can I be excused for awhile? this is a sad time for the village, so please understand." The Chief said as he completely forgotten that Ainz was an undead.
Ainz dismissed the thought and said "It's alright, maybe I should come with you? After all, I should pay my respect to the dead." Ainz told the Chief.
"Thank you very much Lord Ainz." The Chief thanked Ainz as he only nodded as they went outside the house.

Cemetary
Now we see at the cemetary, as multiple villagers began to mourn, including the two sisters as they were informed by Ainz as their parents were killed.
Enri and Nemu sobbed and still crying out as tears freely fell from their eyes, while Ainz's new subordinate knights as they began digging up and burying other villagers grave, regret began to rise up in their hearts as they have been the cause of such misery.
Before Ainz could leave he heard a small and quiet voice called out to him, greatly surprising the Overlord as he looked around and saw astounded him.
'Are those--' he wasn't able to finish his thought as a status screen suddenly appeared at him and it read.

Light Wisdom
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When an Overlord met the required appropriate level of 120. He shall see things that are impossible to see in the eyes of the living. And he shall gain the power to let the living see the dead, as a final farewell to those who lost their loved ones, and forgave those who had sinned against them, their regret shall become their relief, their sadness becomes their joy as they gave the final farewell to all who can rest in peace.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After Ainz read the lore, he began to smile inwardly as he approached to Enri and Nemu as they were still crying.
Ainz said to them in a calm and sincere voice "Its okay to cry young ones I felt the same feeling of losing a loved one." Ainz said suprising the villagers, as well as his subordinate knights as they looked at him.
Enri asked him tears still present in her eyes "How can you say that? do you actually know what it means to lose a loved one, even though you're an undead!" she cried out still sobbing at the lost of their parents.
Ainz then replies to Enri, his voice still calm and sincere "Because I felt it before and I still feel it until today." Ainz said in a solemn tone, he then continues to talk to Enri as his voice became more brighter.
"And besides, you should look up, your parents should be looking at you right now, as well as other people, do you want them seeing you in this sad state? hmm." Ainz said as he looked up.
As Enri looked up at the same way where Ainz was looking at.
Enri looked in shock and tears began pour out of her eyes and began crying again.
Nemu and the other villagers as well as the knights followed suite and tears began to pour out of their eyes as they saw something unbelievable.
There stood Enri and Nemu's parents smiling brightly at them, as well as other deceased loved ones began to talk to the villagers telling them how much they will miss them before they leave, as they gave their farewells.
The villagers who were killed by the same knights (who are turned themselves into Ainz followers) and began to forgive them, thus easing their hearts as they were forgiven, and tears began flowing out, as they removed their helmets to wipe off their falling tears.
After making their farewells one of the spirits (a young woman)came closer to Ainz and said.
"Thank you very much." She said while Ainz replies "Think nothing of it, after all I did what I needed to do." He said in a cool voice.
Before she could leave she said in a quiet voice, speaking a different language only Ainz can understand.
"Arigatou Satoru Suzuki-kun." She said as she joins with the other deceased villagers into the afterlife, as they disappeared in white snow- like particles.
Ainz was shocked as why she knew his real name, his human name.
He then dismissed the thought as he walks towards the village, while smiling inwardly to himself.

Carne Village
After a few hours reconstruction, Carne Village once again has another problem.
Ainz overheard the villagers conversation as well as the Death Knight and including his subordinate knights
"Umu, is there any problems Chief." Ainz called out as he approached to the villagers.
The Chief in question began scratching his as he told Ainz that a group of armored men are heading straight for this village.
"Umu that is a problem." Ainz said as the Chief questioned him "Then what shall we do?" He asked as he doesn't want Carne Village to become a battlefield anymore.
Ainz then quickly told the Chief to tell the villagers hide in the storehouse, while Ainz, the Chief, and the Death Knight, as well as the knights to confront the incoming men.
As they arrived a man moved forward and called out "Who's in charge of here?" as he moved his horse forward.
"That is Gazef Stonoff, Head Captain and Warrior of the Kingdom, whats he doing?" the chief uttered out as Ainz heard it clearly as day.
'So that's Gazef Stronoff, interesting.' Ainz thought as he looked at him.
Gazef then looked at the Chief and said "Are you this village's Chief?" He questioned him as he looked around and saw Ainz.
"An undead what are you doing here!?" Gazef exclaimed as he saw the knights.
"You." He pointed at knights "Are responsible for the deaths of many lives in the kingdom's villages." Gazef said as the knights looked down in regret.
Thankfully Ainz began to diffuse the tension between as he said "Yes thay are responsible for the deaths they have made, but they have changed and begun to undo their wrongdoings as they've changed their ways for the greater good." Ainz told Gazef while, the knights behind him quietly sniffed as how merciful their new Lord is.
Gazef was confused as why an undead, defending criminal knights of the kingdom, then he asked Ainz "Who are you?" He questioned.
Then Ainz replied "Oh where my manners. My name is Ainz Ooal Gown, this knights here." he pointed at the knights "Are my new subordinates."
Gazef was a bit skeptical, but he dismissed as he was convinced enough about the explanation.
"I see, my name is Gazef Stronoff nice to meet you sir Gown." Gazef introduced himself while greeating Ainz in a handshake.
Ainz asked Gazef of why he was here and answered "Because I was sent by the King to investigate if an imperial knights were raiding villages."
Before he could talk more to Ainz onw his men called out as he his breathing heavily and said.
"I scouted at perimeter of the village sir, there are multiple people around here, we're completely surrounded." His voice filled dread.
And thus began the second battle for Carne Village Begins.
