Yes, this is the horror of Ainz Ooal Gown, the Empire has already lost.
And the loss was ugly. When I listened to Fulda's advice and sent illegal workers to the devil's cave, I had already lost.
Everything was part of Ainz Ooal Gown's plan. He had clearly seen through his plan, but he couldn't resist or stop it. He could only watch the empire like a butterfly that had hit a spider web. No matter how hard he struggled, it was of no use.
.
The only chance of victory now is to have a battle with the kingdom in the Katz Plains, where Ainz Ooal Gown can show his terrifying power in front of the world. Only in this way can he attract the attention of all countries.
Only then can the anti-Ainz Ooal Gown alliance plan that he conceived before be implemented! If that doesn't work, there is Princess Elizabeth's trump card.
Under this trump card was an adventurer who looked exactly like her as insurance, so all she could do now was wait.
"Your Majesty..." Seeing Gilniv's sad look, the adjutant didn't know what to say.
"It's okay, we still have a chance to win, as long as we wait... huh?" Gilniv suddenly felt a sense of disobedience and sorted it out first.
The drought that had begun to hit the empire a few months ago was brought about by Ainz Ooal Gown.
Then there was the invasion of the Theocracy around the kingdom, the assassination of the kingdom's warrior captain, Ainz Ooal Gown's first appearance, and then the traitor Fulda suggested to him that he send black workers to invade Nazarick.
The next step was to come to apologize and bring back Princess Elizabeth, which meant that Ainz Ooal Gown had planned everything a few months ago.
He had even foreseen that his daughter would make such a ridiculous request in the main hall of Nazarick a few months later.
Of course, there is also the possibility of collusion, but from my observation and testing of Princess Elizabeth during this period, I found that she did not inherit her father's wisdom, so this can basically be ruled out.
In other words, Ainz Ooal Gown had arranged everything a few months ago. Before, I didn't quite understand why he would send his precious daughter to the empire, and only bring her with him.
The reason for two maids.
Through the attack incident and this rain praying incident, we basically figured out that we wanted to establish the image of Nazarick in the hearts of the people of the empire.
However, there is a new contradiction in this case, and that is Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth's two undead pets.
Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth loves them very much. If she hadn't begged her in the first place, she would have wanted to take those two scary things out for a walk.
Elizabeth obviously wanted to show off her pet to everyone. As I said before... Ainz Ooal Gown knew his daughter's nature very well, otherwise he wouldn't have devised such a trap a few months ago.
Moreover, this princess, who is responsible for building a positive reputation for Nazarick, actually wants to drag the undead monsters that everyone is afraid of into the streets. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?
Ainz Ooal Gown, who had arranged everything clearly, could not have imagined that his daughter would do this. So, he still arranged for his daughter to come over. What was the purpose of doing this?
"Your Majesty?" Seeing that Gilniv fell into deep thought after only half of his words, the adjutant asked cautiously.
"..." Gilniv did not respond, but was still thinking about Ainz Ooal Gown's intention in doing this.
Obviously, these two things happening together are contradictory. Even if Princess Elizabeth increases Nazarick's reputation, if she goes shopping with any undead monster that can destroy the empire, Nazarick's reputation will immediately fall to the bottom.
.
Although it is true that the reputation of the imperial family will also fall, the people of the empire who firmly believe in the teachings of the church will not believe that people who go shopping with undead monsters are good people, right?!
It makes absolutely no sense for Ainz Ooal Gown to do this, but...he will never do anything meaningless, but he didn't see through his plan. What is the purpose of Ainz Ooal Gown's contradictory behavior?
What? It’s really abnormal to build Nazarick’s reputation while trying to commit suicide to destroy his character.
"It seems that our Majesty has thought of some surprising way to win again. Please don't disturb him." Bajard said with a smile. He trusted Gilniv very much. If it were anyone else, he would have kneeled on his knees.
In front of Ainz Ooal Gown, declare your allegiance as a vassal!
Just as Badjad finished speaking, Gilniv's face suddenly turned pale. This was completely different from Gilniv's expression just now. It was not the sadness or unwilling anger, but despair.
"Go back... after we go back, contact... and Ronye... let him... let him propose the empire to Ainz Ooal Gown... The empire wants to become a vassal state of Nazarick..." Gilniv bit his lip and said with difficulty.
"Your Majesty! Are you crazy!" Bajed was dumbfounded. What's going on? He was fine just now, but why did he suddenly change 180 degrees?!
"This is the only way to preserve the empire!!" Gilniv shouted, and Gilniv now looked like a helpless child.
"Your Majesty...please calm down. What is going on?" Bajed asked.
"We can't win! We can't win from the beginning! No matter how hard we struggle, it's useless!" Gilniv ignored Bajed and held his head with both hands, grabbing his blond hair very hard.
Badjad and his lieutenant didn't know what to say when they saw Gilniv's appearance. They suddenly said that he wanted to become a vassal state of Nazarick. This was completely unlike the Gilniv who was called the Blood Emperor.
What a Neve style!
Gilniv remained silent for a long time, holding his head in his arms. Finally, he raised his head and let out a long sigh.
"This has to be the case. The only thing we can do now is to pray that Ainz Ooal Gown can treat our citizens well." Gilniv said this in an extremely frustrated tone, as if he had given up everything.
"I can't defeat that monster... From the beginning, everything was under his control, be it the drought, Fulda's betrayal, Princess Elizabeth's matter, the anti-Nazarick Alliance's matter, everything
Everything in the world is under the control of Ainz Ooal Gown. Bajde, you are right, Ainz Ooal Gown is not an opponent that humans can defeat." Gilniv said very calmly.
"What about the alliance? Do you mean that the anti-Nazarick alliance we planned was also within the monster's expectation?" Bajed was also shocked.
"..." Gilniv did not reply, but nodded helplessly.
"This...this..." Badjad finally understood why Gilniv was so desperate. The anti-Ainz Ooal Gown alliance was just a plan. The first step had not even been taken.
It was as expected, how could such an opponent defeat him!!
