Albedo enters Ainz study from his room with glowing radiance that makes Ainz have a smile... if he could. Albedo isn't wearing her traditional white outfit but a couple of Ainz cloaks over her body leaving nothing to one's imagination.
"Morning my love, how is everything today?" Said Ainz
Albedo comes over and sits on his lap, leaning on his chest. Ainz could feel her warmth so he wrap his arm around her. Albedo looks through the portal seeing usual things.
"Everything wonderful as always, my love. How about you dear?" Said Albedo
"The three have found the other continent and a young lord whom I can't tell if he a female or male."
"Did they accept your rule my beloved?"
"not yet, I'm in no hurry."
"We could conquer them without much effort. Guardian Enri goblin army could defeat any normal force in the empire. We could send her to establish our rule."
"True but the situation is quite...usual."
"What do you mean?"
"Just before you walked in the young lord Akio heard news that an army of three thousand was attacking and ask me not to destroy them but to wound them as to not cause problems later."
"That is quite usual so have you order the three to defend this lord."
"I have so I'm watching them deal with the attacking force."
Albedo moves the image around to see climb and Draudillon Beside them. She wants to chat but Ainz wouldn't let her because when Ainz became Emperor, Albedo work declined greatly so she doesn't do much beside gossip with people. She has become a housewife a position she enjoys very much.
Eastern lands
The three begin leaving this small town that Lord Akio has domain over and they notice it quite poor. The people seem malnourished and could die at any moment even the homes seem to be collapsing. The stone roads are cracked and a group of people are seen cooking a shoe.
"Seems like Lord Akio was right about not having enough resources due to the war." said Momon
"Agreed, it reminds me about the prisoners of Slane." said Nabe
"The Slane prisoners...don't mention them they gives me a cold chill when you mention them. The people here didn't ask to become this way nor are they guilty of any crimes."said Ren
"I agree with Ren, but is that lady still a warden their?" said Momon
"She is and the rumors I hear about her are just nerve wracking." said Nabe
"The Entire country proven guilty by the every other nation and placed in one city as punishment. Emperor Ainz can be quite scary." Said Ren
"Yes but they killed anyone who wouldn't follow their ideals and let weaker countries suffer." Said Nabe
"I know, they were the reason for beastmen invasion among other things." Said Ren
"I hope Emperor Ainz can help these people." Said Momon
A man appears behind them.
"Hopefully he could because it a horrible sight we live with everyday."
The three turn around to see the leader of the guard. He removes his helmet and mask revealing his young face with short black hair.
"Im kenji, i'm the protector for Lord Akio. May I accompany you I wish to greet the Onyx kingdom before my lord arrives."
"Sure... but why don't you wait for him." said Momon
"Thank you, but the lord is the worst fighter here but he a good leader and cares for his people so we're willing to be his shields." Said Kenji
"Ugh, He reminds of Climb in his younger days, especially when it involved Renner." Said Ren
The four arrive before the army of 3,000 each on a hill which has a valley between them. two men are on horseback before the army, it seems they are the leaders. One man seems to be a battle veteran which leads the army. He a large man almost to Momon height and his armor would be considered unique. The armor he wears it a mixture of leather and steel but it doesn't protect completely leaving areas exposed (image Viking). he has a large curved sword much larger than the other warriors behind him are using. (Image a large machete)
The other man seems to be a pompous ass, He has white makeup with painted red circles on his cheeks. He has an all yellow outfit with an usual hat that extends upwards and droops a bit at the top.
Nabe activates [eavesdropper] to listen in their conversation.
"Sir Aki, remember your agreement that no one will get harmed. we're just here for supplies and volunteers for the cause." Said AoI
"I didn't forget sir AoI, but any woman that catches my eye shall be brought to me for my enjoyment." Said Aki
(Why do I have to escort this person? I want to be on the battlefield.)
"Just don't harm the woman." Said AoI
" I'm a gentleman and after we are finished with our journey I shall give your troops healing talismans from my personal collection, A gift from the jade kingdom."
(I really hate this man but we need the jade kingdom sages.)
The two sides stay quiet waiting for one side to response. The warrior knight speaks
"Morning Gentlemen, we are seekers from the sorcerer Empire. we wish that you leave and return to your lands so we may continue peace talks with the lord of this land." Said Momon
"Who are you three and what Empire?" Said AoI
"I'm Momon, this lady is Nabe, the boy and wolf are Ren and Silver and the warrior is kenji. We have been on a 7 month journey across the sea from our homelands the sorcerer Empire to find this continent and have peace between our nations."
Aki leans over to AoI whispering something and giggles as he finished. Nabe still has Eavesdropper on and heard what he said.
"Sir AoI I want that female. I never had a woman from another continent." Said Aki
Nabe wanted to melt him but Momon calm her down to prevent an incident. The veteran warrior mounts off his horse and starts walking into the valley.
"Sir Momon are you a warrior?" Said AoI
"Yes I am, why do you ask?" Said Momon
"Challenge me in a duel and if I lose we'll leave but if I win we'll continue on our path."
Momon looks as his companions for advice. Nabe was painting her nails while Ren and Silver were asleep. Kenji was the only one to agree with to the duel because he wanted to see how Momon fights. Momon takes a deep breath and exhales.
"What is the warrior name that challenges me." said Momon
"I'm Lord AoI of the onyx Kingdom, Clan head of the red serpents, who are you?"
"I'm Momon the 3rd, the strongest warrior in the Sorcerer Empire and 10 year defending champion of my title."
(Such a worthy opponent for me to find out here in the countryside. It'll be a difficult fight as I can sense his overwhelming Ki.)
AoI looks down at his hand seeing that it shaking in excitement. He grips his hand around his sword to calm his nerves and smiles at Momon.
"It an honor to fight a warrior of your caliber Sir Momon."
"The pleasure all my Sir AoI, but will you troops get involved if you start losing."
"Don't worry, they know not to interfere with my duels. How about your friends?"
"Don't worry, they know not to interfere with me."
Kenji taps Nabe shoulder asking Nabe why is he a champion.
"The tournament of the successor, it an event in the Empire that picks the next successor. Momon, and I are all successors. We are also champions defending our Succession."
"So why is Momon the 3rd?"
"Well a long time ago the first Momon was a legendary hero, his strength and bravery was unmatched. Emperor Ainz respected him as a noble warrior and friend. One day Momon passed away due to a disease, but he taught a successor which won the first tournament by defeating him and we know him as King climb, the fat man you saw earlier. He was the 2nd Generation Momon earning his Name and gear for 30 years or so and he retired to become king so he taught his successor which defeated him in a tournament as well. The man that stands before you is The 3rd generation Momon and he defended that title for 10 years."
"That amazing so if he loses does the winner become next Momon?"
"Yes but that's not likely to happen since the yearly tournament is more of a way to celebrate the original Momon but if he does decide to retire he'll pick a successor from that tournament."
"How about you lady Nabe? did you compete in a tournament as well for your title?"
"Well i'll tell you another time since their about to start so let's be quiet."
Momon pulls out one sword from his cape and begins walking towards AoI. Aol begins walking towards Momon with his sword still in it sheath.
"Why don't you draw your sword?" Said Momon
"Why don't you use your two swords?" Said AoI
"How did you know that i use two swords?"
"Your stance is off with only one sword in your hand."
"I wanted to make this a fair fight."
"Same here."
On a hill away from the battlefield.
"Go Momon show him who the strongest in the empire! Show them why you're my successor!" Said Climb
"Please sit still, I don't want to see your belly jumping everywhere, it's disgusting." Said Draudillon Oriculus
Climb turns to look at Draudillon oriculus with an annoyed face.
"Well sorry your highness, but I don't want to see a woman over hundred pretending to be in her 20s but here I am talking to you and you don't hear me complaining!"
Draudillon stars moving her liquid body to cut climb stone body into pieces. Climb is eager to fight to tame this cougar. The two are ready to fight but Ainz places his bony finger on his mouth making them stay quiet. The two apologize for their rude behavior around the Emperor and kneel for forgiveness, Ainz forgives them since their fighting happens all the time.
"Climb what do you think of their armor and weaponry." Said Ainz
" Emperor Ainz their armor and weapons are mostly used for mobility and speed. They must prefer this method of fighting making heavy weapons obsolete."
"I see so would Momon be at a disadvantage."
"Not likely since his armor and weapons have been blessed by you Emperor so his gear is light as a feather, and including his strength his gear might feel like an extra layer of skin."
"Good Because If Momon loses the entire Empire loses face."
"Don't worry Emperor we still have Ren." Said Draudillon Oriculus
Ainz looks over to see Ren and Silver asleep. Ainz looks over to face Draudillon Oriculus and she admiring how cute they look. Ainz emotions have been suppress to prevent an incident.
"Emperor Ainz please don't worry he may not be as strong as me or the original momon, but his swordplay and speed is far superior." said Climb
Ainz doesn't respond he just watches the fight quietly.
(My swordplay when I was Momon was pretty good. Pandora actor the one whose swordplay was bad not me.)
Back to Momon
The two warriors are in each other's range. Momon being much taller and having a larger sword is able to stay out of range but he got closer on purpose. AoI thanked him for his warrior honor and drew his sword, Momon thanked him for his warrior honor. Momon holds his sword with both hands holding the sword in front of him. AoI holds his sword up so the hilt is beside his head.
"Win or lose I consider you an ally, Sir Momon."
"Same here, Sir AoI."
Momon swings downward with no extra movement just a simple swing down using his arms. AoI sidestep to avoid the attack but Momon sheer power lets a gale force wind erupt from such a simple swing. AoI stance is shaken by Momon strength. AoI goes for a thrust attack to pierce Momon chest but Momon quickly pulls his sword back to block the attack. The attack causes AoI sword to vibrate making his hands go numb for a few seconds. AoI takes some steps back creating space between each other.
"for being a big person your very fast, It surprised this old man." Said AoI
"Thank you, but it quite an usual experience to fight with one sword." Said Momon
"I'm glad to be able to show a warrior such as yourself new heights, but didn't you ever fight with one sword?"
"No the original Momon whom I have the honor of carrying His name always fought with two swords, so i fight with two swords."
"Well I don't want to disrespect the original so please fight with two swords."
"Well it would be rude to deny such a warrior as yourself a warrior challenge so please forgive my earlier rudeness."
"All is forgiven Sir Momon so let us continue."
Momon pulls out another sword from his cape and AoI has a shiver run up his spine. His human instincts tell him to run but his warrior spirit demands he stays. He ready his spirit and steel for a single attack to beat this legendary warrior before him.
Ren and Silver wake up and start returning to the village. Drool is going down Ren face with his ear twitching.
"Ren you're finally awake and why are you leaving?"
"don't worry about it, just going to use the bathroom."
Ren stretches making a gesture pointing at the distance tree line. Nabe acknowledges it and plays along waiting for a signal. Ren and Silver sense of smell and hearing can detect anything below 8th tier. Ainz, Climb, and Draudillon see Ren walking away wondering where is he going but they are distracted by the Momon fight.
AoI places his sword back into it sheath and begins casting a form of magic.
"May my ancestors bless my weapon to defeat this warrior in front of me."
Art
[serpent strike]
Magic is following through the air flowing into his sword. Nabe is surprised that a warrior can cast magic without a item to aid him. The AoI pulls out his sword and the blade becomes pressurized wind taking the shape of a sword. Nabe is even more surprised at this magic never see before. Ainz watching on the hill is starting to get curious about this magic.
The unknown martial art skill or magic skill that places allows wind magic to be a sword is unheard of. The sight of unknown magic entices Nabe but she must wait for momon to finish. Momon begins to run towards Aol and Aol starts running as well. The two in a flash of light pass each other with their backs to one another and the results are clear.
Aol falls backwards on the ground with his helmet cut in two and his chest piece cut as well. Momon walks away without a single mark, even dust refuses to settle on his armor.
"Sir momon did you fight at full strength?" said AoI
"No i didn't, I didn't want to kill my first friend in this new land."
"It an honor to be called a friend by Sir Momon and I thank you for sparing me life."
In this distance you could see Climb jumping in joy. Draudillon became disgusted seeing Climb jump up and down.
Momon walks back to Nabe and kenji wondering where Ren and Silver went. Nabe explains the situation to him. momon understood but someone has to be a sore loser.
"Sir AoI! Why couldn't you beat a foreigner?! Your such a useless man and I relieve of your command of this army."
The man starts painting and magic appears from his paper.
Art
[Flame snake]
The man fires at Aol.
[Earth wall]
A wall of solid earth appears before AoI protecting him from the flames. Nabe has finish painting her nails and is ready to learn.
"That was third tier magic but it quite usual. You snob tell me your magic." Said Nabe
"How dare you call me a snob!...you second rate sage!"
A vein appears on Nabe face and a gaze that can pierce one soul if they look into it.
Momon can feel the bloodlust coming off of Nabe.
" Ah crap, You shouldn't have done that. Kenji I advise we run." Said Momon
"Why?"
"Nabe hate it when she get called second rate."
Momon puts away his swords and begins to take cover behind the hill with his head poking over. Kenji who saw the a portion of Momon skill became increasing worry to see Momon starting to take cover. Kenji joins Momon in taking cover and he can see his lord with 70 men behind him. He begins to worry that his lord will fight and get himself hurt.
"Aki! How dare you bertyal me and the onyx kingdom. I see to it that your head rolls off my blade." Said AoI
AoI tries to move but his body has gone into shock after his near death experience with Momon.
" I'll deal with this puny man who dares call me second rate!" Said Nabe
"But-"[time room]
AoI tries to move but his body won't let him not even a word could leave his mouth, Nabe had stopped time around AoI. Nabe the grand wizard has her intellectual mind burning with questions and her pride wanting to make this man experience pain.
"Are you ready to join me and enjoy my services." Said Aki
" no, I will never join a snob such as yourself, so fat man tell me your magic?"
"It called art because unlike you barbarians we have refined techniques. "
Another vein appears on Nabe forehead.
"Well sage... show me some arts."
"To a foreigner especially an Elf, you must joking but if you become my pet I'll forgive you for calling me a snob."
[Teleport]
Nabe appears in front of him and delivers a wide right hook knocking the man off his horse also a few teeth.
Ainz in the distance starting rubbing his jaw seeing teeth fly out.
"Ow that really hurt you bitch! How dare you hit a sage of the jade kingdom."
Nabe looking down on him with a death glare.
"If you show me your magic I'll only break one leg."
"You bitch!"
The man begins writing and ice appears underneath Nabe feet trapping her. The man begins to flee and Nabe simply walks after him breaking the ice.
"Show me stronger magic fat man. That was merely 2nd tier." Said Nabe
"I don't know what your talking about." Said Aki
The scene before Ainz he his reminded about Nabe nickname, "The no life" Ainz has given this name to nabe as she reminds him of certain people during his gaming days. Nabe hunt for knowledge is quite terrifying.
"Show me your strongest magic or I'll kill you." Said Nabe
(Very terrifying)
Art
[paper seal]
The paper Aki was holding expands and flies towards Nabe enveloping her. Aki begins to monologue about his victory but she unfazed. She hasn't seen paper used as a weapon so she let him to speak.
"Now Nabe I shall enjoy your body to it fullest potential."
Nabe break through the paper with ease landing another wide right hook. Aki already swollen face starts turning purple. Nabe reaches out her left hand grabbing him by the neck and lifts him off the ground.
"Don't worry I won't crush your throat because that was fifth tier with paper a big improvement so what else can you do." Said Nabe
"Let... me go." Said Aki
Nabe drops him and he begins to catch his breath. He grabs his pen and rips his shirt off. Aki starts writing on his body. Nabe is curious as what he'll do so she let him continue.
Art
[enslavement]
Aki grabs Nabe face and ink begins flowing through his hand onto her face. He begins laughing as he thinks he won till he see Nabe eyes of boredom.
"You are pathetic." Said Nabe
[barrier]
She channels some her magic to make a bubble around her, breaking the magic on Aki arm and his arm.
"That was an inserting spell but really weak. I think it was first tier, Can't you do something better?" Said Nabe
The man is crying in pain to answer her so leaves turning her back on him. Aki is enraged by having a person of nobility being beaten by a foreigner. He grabs his pen and begins writing on his chest.
Art
[jade heal]
The man heals himself and continues to write more.
"Stupid bitch I'll kill you." Said Aki
"Yeah, sure, whatever."
Art
[consume]
Oozing tentacles of ink shoot from Aki chest flying towards Nabe. Nabe places a barrier in front of her blocking the attack but it shatters or rather it been drained of it magic.
"What it stronger than fourth tier that shouldn't true."
"I don't care what are tiers but it over for you bitch!"
(The spell itself is third tier but the attack is 6th. This is quite amazing, I must know more.)
[teleport]
She appears in front of Aki again punching him in the stomach knocking him out cold.
"I wouldn't be scared of such an idiot. I was rather annoyed that Momon got a better fighter than I. Well time to give you to Emperor Ainz for research." Said Nabe
Nabe grabs the man by leg dragging him across the ground. She passes AoI and releases him from the time bubble.
"Hey do you need him because I want to give him to my Emperor." Said Nabe
"What happened?!" Said AoI
"Oh I stopped time around you and I knocked out this worm."
"What?!"
"I hate repeating myself so do you need this worthless man."
"Yes we do!"
"Why? He would be better offering for my Emperor."
"Emperor?"
Nabe points towards a hill revealing the personal of death to the man.
"That...your Emperor."
"Yeah, he just the best so I'm going to offer this worm to him, he enjoy this gift."
She grabs him by the arm helping him stand up.
"hey another question why do you need this worm?" Said Nabe
"Jade sages can perform various arts that can turn the tide of battle so they are needed for our cause." Said AoI
"Well if you speak to our Emperor he could help. If you can provide him something useful... for example the art you two can use."
"If he willing to help than please take me to him."
(Even if he a monster I must protect my people)
Nabe calls Momon over to see Lord Akio running over the hill. Lord Akio starts forming up his men to fight but Kenji calms him down to prevent bloodshed.
"Seems that I should introduce myself." Said Ainz
"We shall join you as well Emperor Ainz." Said Climb
"I wonder what Ren doing." Said Draudillon
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
"Nevermind."
Ren Pov
Ren and Silver had detected the overwhelming smell of blood in the tree line. They go to the city and circle around using stealth items to ensure they aren't spotted. They arrive at an enemy camp seeing humans but the humans had dark eyes and fangs for teeth.
(Seems like their about 150 hundred of these guys and they smell disgusting. I thought Nabe cooking was bad but these guys are way worse.)
Ren goes into his pack pulling out a hat with a mask and goggles. The goggles protect his eye and the mask a simple piece of cloth to cover his mouth and nose. The hat has two holes so his cat ears poke through the top. Ren and Silver start moving around the camp placing bombs to disrupt the enemy.
Ren can see the enemy force getting closer to the three line and sees Momon defeating the other warrior.
(Hope Momon didn't kill the guy)
The enemy seem ready to attack and so is Ren but they stop because Nabe has started her fight.
(Damn it woman, well plan b I'm tired of waiting)
Ren and Silver start picking off the enemy one by one while they're distracted by Nabe fight. Ren and Silver killed 20 before the enemy force begins to notice. The two are the best when performing hit and run tactics.
Ren and Silver set off the explosions after Nabe fight has ended making the enemy think their being attack from another large force.
The forgotten lose 50 men to the explosions but the wounded get up ready to fight as if missing limbs isn't a big deal. They set up defensive positions ready for large force but nothing
happening.
"Does anyone see anything?" Said random forgotten
"I do." Said Ren
Ren sleath item deactivated as his lance plunges into the forgotten chest and Silver ripping his head off. The two disappear into the forest again and the forgotten start shooting arrows into the forest hoping to hit them.
"Missed me." Said Ren
His appears to the side having three forgotten on his lance and Silver running through their lines crushing some underneath his weight. The forgotten start to mobilize but Ren and Silver disappear again into the forest so the forgotten charge deeper into the forest but it made it easily for Ren and Silver to pick them off.
One by one forgotten were killed left and right by a ghost. Their numbers keep dropping so they flee out of the forest but the ghost keeps killing them without being seen for more than a second. The last forgotten escapes the forest but a rope grabs him by the neck pulling him back in and gets a lance through his chest.
"That the last one and I'm so tired. Why couldn't they just stay in one spot it would have made it easier for me." Said Ren
"Bark, bark." Said Silver
"Agreed let go take a bath than we can get something eat."
(Lady Aura is more of a challenge than these guys. She so much more cuter too.)
Ren and Silver leave the forest drenched in blood with a smile on their face.
Others pov
explosions are heard and seen throughout the forest. Voices are heard from the forest that only increase the confusion. A creature exits the forest, a forgotten but quickly a rope goes around his neck pulling him back in. The forgotten is digging his hands into the ground and the sound of bones snapping is heard but it continues to be dragged in.
A few moments later the Ren alongside Silver walk out of the forest drenched in blood. Lord Akio is terrified that a young boy walks out of the forest with an evil grin and covered in blood. The blood is not his of course but of the enemy he killed...no massacred.
"Who that... boy? He must join our cause!" Said AoI
"The queen of his half won't allow it because as she says "he isn't cute when he fight" so unless you can convince the Emperor none one going to fight your war."
AoI having gained new life somehow starts running towards Ainz.
"Seems like we have gained a lot of face." Said Climb
"Agreed so let us return to the village." Said Ainz
Ainz starts walking away towards the village but Lord AoI ran in front of him and stopped him. Lord AoI gravels in front of him.
"Please I beg of you, please help us!" Said AoI
"What are you willing to give?" Said Ainz
"My life if you can save my people!"
"I'll consider it but I must finish my negotiations with Lord Akio."
"I will join you as well!"
"I can't stop you."
"Emperor Ainz, look at what I caught." Said Nabe
She holds up a beaten Sir Aki.
"A gift to you Emperor Ainz to ease negotiations." Said AoI
Nabe places her hand on the man shoulder giving off killing intent. Momon comes over putting her in a full Nelson and lifting her away. Nabe looked like a doll compared to Momon then she begins to struggle to free herself. Ainz ignores the situation and continues walking towards the village.
Everybody arrives at the village and Ainz sees the deplorable state of Lord Akio village and ask Ren to pull out a pot. Ren does so giving it to Lord Akio, Ainz explains that it gives an unlimited amount of food to be a gift for meeting new people on new lands. Lord Akio is grateful for the gift and orders his men to distribute the food to everyone.
Emperor Ainz including king climb and queen Draudillon Oriculus sit across from Lord Akio and Lord AoI. Sir Aki is currently with Nabe answering some questions so he won't be participating. Momon and Kenji are behind them watching the meeting take place. Ren and Silver are taking a bath.
" please explain the situation here." Said Ainz
"Of course, their are three kingdoms. The gold kingdom, the onyx kingdom, and jade kingdom. The jade kingdom used to be the strongest kingdom making the other two do anything regarding labor." Said AoI
"The powerful jade kingdom was defeated by the forgotten in a few months." Said Akio
"They didn't seem to tough if Ren killed them off with ease." Said Draudillon Oriculus
"Sir Ren only fought rebirthed forgotten."
"Rebirthed?" Said Climb
"There are 7 different forgotten the one fought by Ren were the weakest since they only recently taken a host." Said Akio
Ainz understood what Akio was saying.
"My condolences Lord Akio." Said Ainz
"It fine they are forgotten." Said Akio
"What are these other forgotten?" Said Momon
"The first two are just mere foot soldiers, the third class is some sort of officer that leads and much stronger. Lord AoI would have a difficult time beating one." Said Akio
"I assume the others beyond the third require a large force to defeat." Said Climb
"Yes the fourth class beyond are regarded as commanders, but from the information we gather for those types are very rare due to their long mature period, so far we have only seen very few fourth through sixth class during and after the battle of red." Said AoI
"Battle of red?" Said Draudillon Oriculus
"It was the only major offensive that the forgotten and the three kingdoms took part in. A single battle decided the future. We won but it was a heavy cost." Said Akio
"Why are their seven classes if you only mentioned six." Said Ainz
"A seven did appear after the jade kingdom was defeated. the king himself that became the forgotten King." Said AoI
"When the three kingdoms joined forces against the forgotten at the battle of red. The jade king had already become one of them and had immense power, much more than before. It was because of he was lost so many." Said Akio
"Three million troops was our fighting force and we lost half maybe more. The forgotten king was defeated by the clan lords and two Kings but they couldn't killed him. We merely brought us time since the forgotten could use our dead for reinforcements and the forgotten king is being healed as we speak." Said AoI
"It must have been a difficult time." Said Draudillon Oriculus
"It was and even now it still difficult between our nations. We constantly fight one another to make a decision to fight to the end or try to survive and the jade faction tempt both of us trying to gain more power for itself to rebuild their kingdom." Said Akio
"I heard everything I needed to hear. I shall aid you in your fight against these forgotten." Said Ainz
Lord Akio and Lord AoI gravel in front of Ainz
"Thank you from the bottom of our hearts."
"My overseer has been gather resources and troops to send to your lands but it will take two weeks to gather everything and at least four months before they arrive. that time is important because if you can survive for four months my forces can turn the tide of battle." Said Ainz
"Thank you so much!" Said Akio
"But I have three requests." Said Ainz
"Named them and they shall be fulfilled." Said AoI
A embassy be built in each kingdom capital
All knowledge regarding the three kingdoms and the forgotten.
Momon, Nabe, and Ren are my representatives to your leaders till I arrive
"We shall begin preparations immediately Emperor Ainz." Said AoI
The two leave the room. Kenji follows as well
"Emperor Ainz what should we be mobilizing." Said Climb
"Don't worry about troops since the forgotten need living host so my undead armies should be able to defeat them, but these other classes concern me so I should bring my guardians to deal with them."
"Emperor how about transportation?" Said Draudillon Oriculus
"I have undead dragons that'll fly nonstop to arrive here but I can only send about 10,000 troops at a time through the air but by sea I could send more."
"How about Guardian Enri goblin army. She has enough numbers to make a big difference and their fighting strength should overcome any challenge." Said Climb
"Agreed but the forgotten need any living host so undeads are the best for this situation."
"Emperor Ainz how about my riders they are difficult to attack given through speed and mobility." Said Draudillon Oriculus
"I'll have Albedo contract you so begin preparations." Said Ainz
"Yes Emperor so I shall take my leave." Said dauallion
Her water summon collapses becoming a puddle of water.
"Emperor if you use undead it'll cause panic between our new allies and start to fear you." Said Climb
"That's a good point."
"Emperor I recommend that We send a strike force of different aspect of our empire to show our power and peace."
"That would be a strong force and it could keep our loses to a minimum." Said Ainz
"I'll make a volunteer operation instead of a official one since these forgotten can use the living to boost their forces."
"You have two week to gather the forces and I shall ask for volunteers for scholars, builders, and blacksmiths to aid as well."
"Excellent idea Emperor."
"Make the necessary preparations Climb and Albedo shall contact you." Said Ainz
"Yes Emperor I shall take my leave." Said Climb
The earth golem crumbles.
Ainz is now alone with Momon.
"Momon I have orders to give you."
Momon kneels before him.
"Yes Emperor."
"I want you three to go and make friendly relationships with the leaders here and gather any information you seem necessary."
"Yes Emperor even the leaders behind the shadows."
"Yes Momon, I want my rule here to be uneventful after the forgotten are taken care of."
"Of course Emperor."
Ainz oozing image returns to the caldron.
(Better inform the others)
Footsteps are heard getting closer to Momon location.
"Emperor Ainz! I have made...oh it just you Momon. Where the emperor?" Said Nabe
"He just left."
"What... I just discovered the most amazing thing ever."
"What that?"
"The sages here use mana completely different from our wizards and they don't have a tier system like we do instead they have magic refinement techniques and refine tools to cast powerful spells."
"Explain because I'm quite lost."
"A wizard have mana stored in their body so with training you can increase said mana but if you deplete said mana it causes mana sickness."
"Ok so."
"These sages have no mana store in their bodies but instead they take mana from the air and refine it in their bodies having unlimited mana and a novice could cast a 2nd tier spell but the power output could be 6th tier!"
"That is important!"
"Even a warrior could perform these techniques."
"Are they similar to martial arts."
"Yes but instead of stamina they use mana. Image Momon if you could shoot lighting."
"That would be amazing."
"I know just image if the Emperor could use these refinement techniques. He could become even more amazing."
"Just calm down you're starting to drool."
Nabe wipes away her drool.
"It amazing they call it Ki or life force, but I don't care what's it called, because I'm going to learn how to use and maybe I could cast 9th tier spells or 10th tier no even better super tier and I could become a guardian for Emperor Ainz like Guardian Enri."
Nabe face begins turning to red and she faints from too much excitement. Momon puts her over his shoulder and starts walking towards her room. He puts her down putting a wet towel on her head. He walks over to the window opening it and looking out to see Ren and Silver napping after their bath. Momon looks at Nabe sleeping with a fresh breeze moving her golden hair.
(Why did I have to fall in love with a crazy magic loving elf. If I decide to retire i'm asking your hand in marriage and I won't take no for an answer.)
Momon looks out of the window wondering what's next. You'll have to find out next time.
