Chapter 244: #244 - Declaration of War from the Great Tomb of Nazarick

"But, Yusa, don't you think Kleiman is cute like this?"

Princess Lana gently stroked Kleiman's golden hair, her tender movements like petting her beloved dog. Especially when Kleiman, like a puppy, obediently nuzzled her palm with his head, a faint blush would appear on Princess Lana's fair skin, and indescribable sounds would echo from her mouth.

"No matter how many times I see it, I still think you're quite perverted, Princess Lana."

Hearing the unpleasant sounds in her ears, and the faint scent in her keen sense of smell, Yusa subconsciously showed a disgusted expression, raised her hand to cover her nose, and looked at Princess Lana and Kleiman, who was groveling on the ground like a dog, with undisguised disgust in her eyes.

"I've never hidden my perversion. It's just that those outsiders imagine me to be too perfect, or rather, they're too foolish to see through my obvious disguise."

After speaking, Princess Lana gently tugged the dog chain in her hand, directly pulling Kleiman, who was lying on the ground, into her arms. Her bright blue eyes were filled with perverted love as she looked at Kleiman, who was licking her like a puppy.

"So, what is the order that Master asked you to convey?"

In the next second, Princess Lana raised her head and asked Yusa in front of her. She had already roughly guessed the purpose of Yusa's visit, after all, the only thing that could make Yusa come at this time was the order of Lu Minghao, the master.

"To completely throw this world into chaos, and everything in the kingdom will be used as a sacrifice."

Yusa looked expressionlessly at Princess Lana and Kleiman, who were physically merging into one in front of her, and slowly spoke Lu Minghao's order.

"Using the entire kingdom as a sacrifice, that's really something to look forward to."

Across from her, Princess Lana, who was gradually integrating Kleiman into her body, paused slightly when she heard Yusa's words. A smile that was so beautiful it was heartbreaking appeared on her exquisite face. She was already starting to look forward to it.

.....

On the other side, the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

Ainz Ooal Gown sat on the highest throne, and all the Floor Guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazarick were gathered below, each one watching their great Supreme Being, waiting for his orders to begin the war.

"Everyone, I'm sorry to have worried you."

Suddenly, Ainz Ooal Gown stood up from the throne and swept his gaze around all the Floor Guardians present, a hint of apology on his hideous skull face.

"Ainz-sama!"

"It's not your fault, it's those damned attackers who dared to offend the great Supreme Being."

Below, many Guardians did not expect Ainz Ooal Gown's first sentence to be an apology to them. They quickly shook their heads to indicate that Ainz Ooal Gown did not need to mind, especially Narberal, whose face showed regret and annoyance, and she directly stepped forward and knelt before Ainz Ooal Gown.

"I should be the one apologizing, it's all because of me that Ainz-sama was injured. If it weren't for me, Ainz-sama could definitely have left unscathed. It's all because I'm too weak that I've become a burden to Ainz-sama."

"No, Narberal, it's not your fault. Besides, as the master of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, isn't it right to protect your subordinates?"

As he spoke, Ainz Ooal Gown helped Narberal in front of him up, turned his head and looked at the Floor Guardians in front of him. In the meantime, Ainz Ooal Gown seemed to see his former comrades in them.

"Ainz-sama, the location of those attackers has been determined."

At this time, Demiurge stepped forward and placed the map tool in his hand in front of Ainz Ooal Gown, and said that since returning to the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Demiurge had used the trace of aura in Ainz Ooal Gown's hand to track the location of those attackers, and had just completed all the positioning.

"Hmm, this is?"

Ainz Ooal Gown looked at the map in front of him. The map showed the distribution of the major kingdoms in this world, and even included the kingdom of monsters and racial settlements. Each address representing those kingdoms had a red dot on it.

That is to say, those attackers are currently distributed in every kingdom. With just one glance, Ainz Ooal Gown could see the strangeness in it. After all, as long as you have a little brain, you will understand that this is obviously to frame these kingdoms for this incident.

But, does that matter?

For Ainz Ooal Gown, it doesn't matter, because he has already guaranteed in the name of Ainz Ooal Gown that he will definitely make these attackers pay the price this time. In addition, he originally planned to make Ainz Ooal Gown's name known, trying to find companions who may have also come to this world.

Then, let's turn this world upside down!

"Demiurge, where is the closest location to here?"

In the next second, Ainz Ooal Gown raised his head and asked Demiurge below. The beginning of all this will start from this kingdom. Ainz Ooal Gown's name will completely resound throughout this world, even if it is accompanied by death and slaughter in the process.

But isn't that normal?

He is the supreme undead Death Overlord, shouldn't his name represent death and fear?

"It is the Re-Estize Kingdom."

Demiurge looked at the location on the map. The location representing the attackers was located in the center of the Re-Estize Kingdom, within the royal capital of the kingdom.

"Hmm, then let's declare war on this kingdom. From this moment on, the name of Ainz Ooal Gown will completely resound throughout the entire world!"

Cruel and indifferent words came from Ainz Ooal Gown's mouth. When Ainz Ooal Gown said these words, it meant that this kingdom called Re-Estize would be completely erased from the map, and all lives would become sacrifices for the beginning of this war.

"Yes, Ainz-sama!"

Demiurge nodded with a smile on his lips, then raised his hand and handed the prepared declaration of war to a subordinate.

"Then three days later, when the sun rises, it will be the time when the kingdom called Re-Estize is destroyed."

"Yes!"

"Understood, Ainz-sama!"

Below, all the Guardians knelt on the ground with cruel smiles on their lips, swearing their loyalty to Ainz Ooal Gown, one of their great creators, the Supreme Being.

At the same time, at noon, inside the royal palace of the Re-Estize Kingdom, a demon swaggered in, easily killing all the soldiers blocking his path, and stepped into the royal palace hall, treading in the pool of blood.

Completely ignoring the nobles around him who were looking at him with anger, fear, and humiliation, he instead bowed elegantly like a gentleman to the current king sitting on the throne above, Zanac Valleon Igana Ryle Vaiself, the second prince of the former royal palace, whose forehead was constantly dripping with cold sweat.

"Your Majesty the King, please forgive my intrusion."

In a gloomy and indifferent voice, the demon bowed gracefully to King Zanac above, as if he were an envoy from another country coming to visit, of course, provided that the corpses of the guards lying at his feet and the blood-stained steps behind him were ignored.

If someone were to look down at the palace from the sky at this moment, they would see a path made of corpses and blood stretching from the entrance straight to the palace's main hall.

“May I ask what business you have here, sir?”

Above, Zanac suppressed his inner fear and asked the demon who had suddenly arrived below. To be honest, when he heard from the guards that a demon had forced its way into the palace, he didn't quite believe it. After all, this was the most heavily guarded place in the entire kingdom. How could a mere demon force its way in here?

However, just a few minutes later, the demon the guards had spoken of was already standing in front of him, and the knights and guards he had placed so much hope in had all been turned into minced meat scattered across the ground.

“Following the command of the great, supreme, and most high, I have come to deliver a declaration of war to the Re-Estize Kingdom. We will launch a war against you at dawn three days from now, and this time, we will not accept surrender or prisoners. We will completely destroy the Re-Estize Kingdom.”

As he spoke, the demon beckoned to the trembling guard beside him, then placed the declaration of war that Demiurge had given him into the trembling hands of the guard.

“A declaration of war?”

Above, King Zanac looked at the demon below with a puzzled expression, completely unable to understand why it would declare war on their kingdom. Then, after seeing the declaration of war handed to him by the guard, he opened it with a head full of questions.

“Alright, now that the declaration of war has been delivered, I shall take my leave. Furthermore, I hope that you will all struggle with all your might in your final moments, and offer your final performance to the great Supreme Being three days from now.”

After saying this, the demon didn't give anyone present time to respond, directly opened its demonic wings behind it, transformed into a black shadow, and flew into the sky, disappearing from everyone's sight in a matter of seconds.

“Your Majesty, what exactly is written inside?”

“Why would that demon appear here?”

“What exactly happened? Why would they suddenly declare war on us?”

The moment the demon left, the nobles, who had been cowering on the side, afraid to even breathe, all stepped forward, craning their necks to look upwards, wanting to know what exactly was written in the declaration of war the demon had brought.

“It's a declaration of war. Inside, it says that three days from now, when the sun rises, the Great Tomb of Nazarick will launch an attack on us. Furthermore, the reason for the declaration of war is that someone in the kingdom attacked the Supreme Being of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Ainz Ooal Gown, and this time, the enemy will not accept any surrender or submission, and the war will only stop when the last intelligent life in the kingdom dies.”

King Zanac looked at the nobles below, who were all looking at him, put down the declaration of war in his hand, and said to them with a solemn expression, although he didn't know what the sudden Great Tomb of Nazarick and Ainz Ooal Gown were.

But he understood that the other side was very strong. Although he didn't know exactly how many 'people' the other side had, now just one demon had easily broken into the kingdom, and after killing a large number of knights and guards, placed this so-called declaration of war in front of him.

“Outrageous! Simply outrageous!”

Below, after hearing King Zanac's words, a middle-aged noble shouted, his face red with anger. The other side was simply looking down on them too much. Was this a declaration of war or a death notice to them? They even dared to presumptuously say that they would not accept surrender or submission before the war even started.

On the side, the other nobles also started shouting one after another, each looking extremely angry, completely unable to see the appearance of cowering behind the guards or knights before, not even daring to breathe loudly.

“Alright. Quiet down.”

At this time, Marquis Raeven, one of the great nobles of the kingdom, came out, looking at them with a hint of contempt in his eyes, and instantly, the many nobles who were still shouting the second before all quieted down.

Marquis Raeven was already used to this. After all, these nobles were just some brainless idiots, and he had seen their clownish behavior countless times.

“Your Majesty, what do you think we should do about this declaration of war?”

The next second, Marquis Raeven ignored the many idiotic nobles around him, raised his head, and asked Zanac, who was the king above, with a tone full of solemnity and seriousness.

“Do we have another choice?”

Above, King Zanac looked at his confidant noble, Marquis Raeven, and smiled helplessly. The other side had already declared war, and also said that they would not accept surrender or submission this time, so even if he objected, it would be useless. What he had to do, and the only thing he could do, was to prepare for war with all his strength.

“I understand. I will gather all the troops of the palace and the private troops of the nobles as soon as possible to prepare for war.”

After seeing the bitter smile of King Zanac, Marquis Raeven already understood what he meant. Indeed, they had no choice at all.

“Then I'll leave it to you. Furthermore, this war requires us to go all out. I mean all out. Marquis Raeven, you should understand what I mean?”

After saying this, King Zanac inconspicuously glanced at the few nobles who had been jumping the most before. These were the last batch of nobles in the kingdom who had not yet been subdued by him. He might as well take advantage of this war to get rid of them and take back all the power in the kingdom.

“I understand.”

Marquis Raeven nodded. He already understood what King Zanac meant, then turned around and left to prepare for the upcoming war.

“You, fully cooperate with Marquis Raeven.”

Above, watching Marquis Raeven's departing figure, King Zanac glanced at the remaining nobles and said a word, then turned around and left the palace hall, leaving behind many nobles looking at each other, some of whom had already become Aberrants, and they all revealed strange smiles, silently leaving this place.

At the same time, after leaving the palace hall, King Zanac did not return to his room, but instead went directly to Princess Renner's room, which was known as the pearl of the palace, and at the door of the room, he asked all the guards to retreat, and he walked in alone.

“Oh, is there something you need from me, elder brother?”

Looking at the eerie figure in the room that made people want to vomit, King Zanac suppressed the discomfort in his heart and asked. Princess Renner, who had two heads growing on her neck, was looking at King Zanac, who was staring at her, with a smile on her fair face, gently rubbing her cheek against the head of Clementine next to her neck.

“About the declaration of war, did you already know about it?”

The next second, Princess Renner said her answer without hesitation, anyway, for her, there was no point in hiding it.

“What exactly do you, or rather, what do you all want to do?”

After hearing Princess Renner's answer, an angry expression appeared on King Zanac's fat face, and he clenched his fist tightly, but the next second, he weakly let it go, looking at his sister with a pleading expression and asked.

“Of course, it's for the sake of the master!”
