Chapter 250: #250 - ·Old tradition

Bang! Bang!

A sound of bones and flesh being crushed rang out, but Mare forcibly retracted the blood-stained magic staff in his hand.

Before him, two headless corpses lay on the ground, blood flowing continuously from the wounds, mixed with some white liquid.

“Ainz-sama, it's done.”

After speaking, Mare raised his head, waiting expectantly for Ainz Ooal Gown to praise him.

Just now, Ainz-sama said he would grant them ‘mercy,’ so Mare used a little more force when he struck.

He could guarantee that Princess Renner and Climb did not feel any pain at all when they died, because they were already completely dead before they could feel any pain.

As for why the two headless corpses on the ground were still twitching, it was entirely due to the instinctive contraction of the body's muscles after death.

“Well done, Mare.”

Seeing the expectant look in Mare's eyes as he looked at him, Ainz Ooal Gown naturally wouldn't disappoint him, gently stroking his head, a hint of a smile on his skeletal face as he praised him.

“Ainz-sama, will we continue to attack other kingdoms next?”

At this moment, Demiurge walked to Ainz Ooal Gown's side and asked with a respectful expression.

Currently, they had only spent less than a day to completely destroy this kingdom called the Re-Estize Kingdom, and the whole process could be said to be easy and relaxed.

They didn't even encounter any opponents worthy of the Floor Guardians' attention.

“For the time being, collect all the spoils of the kingdom and send them back to the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

In addition, gather information about the remaining kingdoms during this period.

Declare war on the nearest kingdom in a week.”

After hearing Demiurge's words, Ainz Ooal Gown lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, then looked at the Great Floor Guardians in front of him and said.

Because the time he had been in this world was too short, most of the information Ainz Ooal Gown had collected was about the kingdom.

As for information about other forces outside the kingdom, although Ainz Ooal Gown couldn't be said to know nothing, the actual situation was almost the same.

Apart from knowing their names, he didn't know anything else.

For this reason, Ainz Ooal Gown gave up the option of attacking other kingdoms now, taking advantage of these few days to collect all the spoils and send them back to the Great Tomb of Nazarick, ensuring that there was no waste at all, and also taking advantage of this time to collect information about other kingdoms.

“Understood!”

After speaking, Demiurge gently pushed up the small glasses on his nose and turned to walk outside.

The recovery work that followed would be his most important task, and he must ensure that all materials were not missed in the slightest and that there was no waste in their use.

As for intelligence gathering, he would leave it to the others in the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

He believed that they would definitely send the intelligence that Ainz-sama needed to him.

“Then, Ainz-sama, we will take our leave for now.”

After Demiurge left, Sebas stepped forward and bowed slightly to Ainz Ooal Gown, saying that intelligence gathering was one of his jobs, and now he was just planning to complete his unfinished work.

“Yes, thank you for your hard work, Sebas, and Solution Epsilon.

Also, regarding that human girl that you secretly left behind, Sebas, you can bring her back to the Great Tomb of Nazarick and join the Pleiades.”

Looking at Sebas in front of him, Ainz Ooal Gown nodded with a dignified expression, then looked at Solution Epsilon next to Sebas, and suddenly thought of the message that Solution Epsilon had secretly sent him before.

When he saw the message sent by Solution Epsilon at that time, Ainz Ooal Gown was shocked.

After all, the message sent by Solution Epsilon said that Sebas might have betrayed the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and he also reported the information about the human girl named Tsuare that Sebas had rescued to Ainz Ooal Gown.

This time, when attacking the royal capital, Ainz Ooal Gown secretly observed Sebas's actions and personally saw Sebas return to the mansion where he and Solution Epsilon had lived when they were disguised, and took the human girl to a safe place.

However, of course, Ainz Ooal Gown, who was hiding in the dark and saw all this, was not angry because of this, but rather felt very happy.

Although he was just a corporate slave and a single dog before he was reincarnated, he could still see some problems from Sebas's obvious concern for that girl.

In short, Sebas and the human girl he rescued had caught each other's eye.

Of course, after confirming this, Ainz Ooal Gown was not angry, but was simply happy to the point of flying.

For him, Sebas and the others, who were carefully created by his former companions in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, were like his own children.

Where would parents not be happy to see their children become enlightened and successfully find a partner?

Therefore, now Ainz Ooal Gown naturally allowed Sebas to bring the human girl back to the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

“Thank you, Ainz-sama!”

After hearing Ainz Ooal Gown's words, Sebas already understood that everything he had done had been known by Ainz-sama.

Sebas, who was originally prepared to be punished, did not expect Ainz-sama to actually let him bring Tsuare back to the Great Tomb of Nazarick and become one of them.

At this moment, a rare smile appeared on Sebas's old and handsome face.

Then, he bowed to Ainz Ooal Gown and turned to leave, sending Tsuare back to the Great Tomb of Nazarick before going to other kingdoms to collect information.

“Then, let's return to the Great Tomb of Nazarick first and collect and sort out the current information.”

“Yes, Ainz-sama.”

On the side, Albedo, upon hearing that Ainz Ooal Gown wanted to return, quickly opened a teleportation gate connecting the interior of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and followed Ainz Ooal Gown into it, leaving behind only the many undead soldiers who were collecting spoils.

After Ainz Ooal Gown and the others left, the undead in the room also left one after another and began to carry out their respective tasks.

Half an hour later, at the location of the teleportation gate where Ainz Ooal Gown and the others had left, the air suddenly began to distort, and Ainz Ooal Gown led the Great Floor Guardians out of it, his scarlet pupils staring intently at the surroundings.

“It seems he didn't come.”

As he spoke, Ainz Ooal Gown put away the several World-Class Items and various top-tier cash items that he had been preparing for a long time.

His departure earlier was just a deliberate disguise, in order to test whether Lu Minghao was secretly observing them.

Ainz Ooal Gown had even prepared to directly kill Lu Minghao with all his strength once he appeared.

After all, Ainz Ooal Gown still remembered that Lu Minghao had said when he broke into the Great Tomb of Nazarick that he was in this kingdom, but now that the entire kingdom had been destroyed by him, Lu Minghao had not appeared.

This abnormal situation had long made Ainz Ooal Gown vigilant.

“Could it be that he really doesn't care about this kingdom?”

A few seconds later, after confirming that there were really no problems, Ainz Ooal Gown took out several World Items from his ornate robes. Among them was the strongest World Item of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, ranked in the top twenty in the entire 《YGGDRASIL》, possessing the powerful strength to overturn the world.

“Ainz-sama, should we go and look for him?”

At this time, Demiurge and Sebas, who should have already left outside the door, walked in together, looking at Ainz Ooal Gown's pensive expression and softly asked. For them, since Lu Minghao was a threat, he should be completely eliminated.

“No, since the other party doesn't seem to be hostile to us, then let's not act rashly for the time being.”

After hearing Demiurge's words, Ainz Ooal Gown shook his head. Since Lu Minghao didn't appear in this war to destroy the kingdom, and coupled with the various probing attempts just now, Ainz Ooal Gown had roughly guessed that Lu Minghao didn't want to be his enemy.

In this regard, Ainz Ooal Gown could more or less understand a little. After all, in this world, both sides are currently the only confirmed players who came to this world from 《YGGDRASIL》. Unless it is necessary, both sides will not have hostile thoughts.

Of course, the above are just Ainz Ooal Gown's own guesses. In fact, it's just that their destruction of all the cities in the royal palace and the massacre of all the residents completely did not affect Lu Minghao's plan. Otherwise, with Lu Minghao's character, he would have already run to the Great Tomb of Nazarick to pour poison inside, and then launch a wave of sneak attacks.

“Then I will leave the following matters to Sebas and Demiurge. I will temporarily return to the Great Tomb of Nazarick first.”

“Yes.”

As Demiurge's voice fell, a teleportation gate opened, and Ainz Ooal Gown led Albedo and the other Guardians into it. After the teleportation gate disappeared, Demiurge and Sebas also left one after another, beginning to carry out their tasks.

Until a few minutes later, the air twisted again, and Ainz Ooal Gown's figure appeared in the room once again. Looking at the unchanged room in front of him, this time Ainz Ooal Gown completely believed that Lu Minghao did not want to be his enemy.

“This guy, should I say he's cautious, or that he hasn't forgotten his original intentions, and still loves the process of fighting wits with the air.”

In the ruined manor of the royal capital, Lu Minghao looked expressionlessly at Ainz Ooal Gown in the image in front of him and began to complain. As for why Ainz Ooal Gown didn't discover Lu Minghao's spying, it was entirely because at this moment Ainz Ooal Gown and all the members of Nazarick were standing on a huge and terrifying aberration.

Under such circumstances, if Lu Minghao in the dark hadn't planned to keep a trump card, all the members of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, including Ainz Ooal Gown, would have already become Lu Minghao's nourishment.

“How are things going?”

Just as Ainz Ooal Gown's undead army, led by Demiurge, was reaping the spoils on a large scale, dividing everything, packaging it, and transporting it back to the Great Tomb of Nazarick without the slightest waste.

At the same time, Yusha in the sky and the real Princess Renner were jumping down from the high altitude with excitement on their faces. A few seconds later, with a bang, Yusha and Princess Renner had already landed on the ground.

“Master, this is what you need.”

Yusha looked at Lu Minghao's clone in front of her, and carefully took out the previously recorded video from her bosom. She even gave a special recording of Ainz Ooal Gown destroying the royal capital, completely killing the last royal family and all life in the entire kingdom. With it, Yusha had already foreseen that the journey afterwards would not be so easy.

“Yusha, let Eight Fingers remove a portion of the information, and send the rest secretly to the spies in the other kingdoms. I want to make sure that the residents of the other kingdoms all know what has been discovered now, and make the Great Tomb of Nazarick a synonym for fear.”

After speaking, Lu Minghao looked at the virtual screen in front of him. This time, Ainz Ooal Gown had indeed returned to his lair.

And in the following few days, he began to sort out and plan the news from other kingdoms that Sebas sent every day. To be honest, looking at the pile of documents piled high on the table, Ainz Ooal Gown had the idea of running away. In the end, Albedo and Demiurge shared more than 90% of the work.

Only then did Ainz Ooal Gown slow down from his busy schedule, otherwise, the next time he went to war with other kingdoms, he would probably still be dealing with the unfinished documents.

“Ainz-sama!”

At this time, Demiurge pushed the door open and walked in, looking at Ainz Ooal Gown behind the desk, his eyes full of undisguised admiration as he said.

“It's Demiurge, ah, is there anything the matter?”

Ainz Ooal Gown, who had just finished reading a document, raised his head and looked at Demiurge in front of him and asked curiously. After all, it was rare to see Demiurge in such a hurry. Now, looking at Demiurge's appearance, it seemed that something had happened?

“Ainz-sama, this is the matter.”

Demiurge's expression straightened, and he began to talk about a recent event. And the reason why Demiurge cared about this matter the most was that he suspected that this matter was related to the demons who attacked Ainz-sama in the first place.

It had been four days since they spent a day destroying that human kingdom. In these four days, they not only packed and transported all the spoils of the entire kingdom back to the Great Tomb of Nazarick, but also the intelligence team led by Sebas infiltrated several nearby kingdoms.

But it was at this time that they discovered a strange thing. The magic items recording the process of their destruction of the kingdom in the first place had somehow flowed into these kingdoms. The residents, who were originally skeptical about the rumors of the kingdom being destroyed, began to discuss it intensely when they saw this.

Even as time passed, more and more magic items flowed into these kingdoms, which also led countless humans to fall into fear and despair after witnessing the power, bloodiness, and cruelty of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. There were even people who madly worshiped and believed in Ainz Ooal Gown. After all, there are many perverts and lunatics in every world.

In addition to this, there were also many people who did not plan to sit still and wait for death, neither feeling fear nor worshiping Ainz Ooal Gown's powerful strength, but simply wanting to resist and live freely in this world.

Even if the commoners had such a big change, the nobles were even more so. The nobles, who were originally pig-headed, began to unite closely, and even the wisdom that had been offline for a long time returned again.

To be honest, if you don't consider the reasons why these nobles formed an alliance, then this may be the most successful alliance of these nobles in history. After all, they no longer have to worry about being stabbed in the back or being sent to be cannon fodder because of the struggle for power.
