"Yes, in order not to alert the other side, we deliberately sent those anthropomorphic demi-humans to scout the city."

As for capturing humans and interrogating them?

That would indeed be the most efficient approach, but the disappearance of a person would certainly attract attention, and if the other party found out, it would be a bad idea to alert them.

Therefore, we had no choice but to settle for the mildest option.

"I believe Saber intends to examine the traces left by Lord Ainz."

"Huh? You mean..."

"His target is most likely the Imperial Army that was just wiped out."

"Katz Plains!"

Chapter 508 The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and Erzhuzi... oh no...

"Are you trying to probe my power?"

"That must be it."

“After all, Pandora Actor’s behavior has already aroused suspicion.”

"He might have made that connection."

Listening to Demiurge's words, Ainz thought that it was indeed possible.

After all, the demons they sent out before were not common, so it's not surprising that they would target the newly emerged "Ainz Ooal Gown".

To be honest, given the overwhelming power of the "Demon King," Ainz believed that victory could be achieved simply by waiting.

As long as "fear" spreads throughout the world, what follows is an unimaginable boost.

The reason for using the Imperial Army is that it can be accumulated quickly and produce results.

Then, with the help of "rumors," Ainz Ooal Gown's name as the Demon Lord will quickly dominate the front pages of various countries.

It doesn't matter if there's no Magic Kingdom or Magic King.

If you possess absolute power, many things will be easier to solve than you imagine.

"Well, Demiurge, you already have a plan, don't you?"

"I wouldn't dare. Without being able to accurately predict the enemy's strength, I won't offer any immature ideas based on meaningless speculation."

"It's alright, you can tell me."

With a gentle wave of his hand, Ainz allowed it to express its opinion.

Even though he had become much stronger, he still habitually wanted to hear what the guardians had to say.

main idea?

Ainz wouldn't make that kind of mistake.

Now that he has become the "Demon King," he will have even more confidence.

This also provides more choices.

"I see."

As Ainz listened to Demiurge's description, he gradually began to understand.

"It's a pity that Pandora Actor sacrificed herself too soon."

"Otherwise, with its capabilities, it would surely be able to achieve this plan perfectly."

As he rose, Demiurge felt a pang of regret at the thought of his colleague's sacrifice.

He was clearly the most suitable all-rounder, but an unexpected accident occurred.

It's such a pity.

"Um"

Although Ainz felt that Demiurge's considerations were very thorough, he still felt that something was off.

It seems like there's something he's overlooked.

A Saber with counter-surveillance skills

Is it really that easy for someone to find out their movements?

Doubts arose, and Ainz paused, feeling somewhat uncertain.

He always felt that something was wrong.

But I can't quite put my finger on it.

Although Saber's exact power is still uncertain, her ability to defeat Pandora Actor, who was equipped with gear, suggests that she possesses considerable strength.

(Never mind. We'll find out soon enough at the meeting.)

Feeling that he was overthinking things, Ainz turned his gaze to the area around the throne.

If Saber really does appear on the Katz Plains.

So this is a good opportunity to try out my current portion size.

The person who became the "Demon King" was completely different from before.

Even if the Berserker named "Rimuru" realized he wanted to become the second Demon Lord, it was too late.

Everything has a time limit. The first one is always the most special.

"By the way, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."

"Ok?"

"That human seems to be in frequent contact with Sebastian, and judging from Sebastian's attitude, he's quite fond of him."

Demeigos

"Yes!"

"You don't need to tell me such trivial things."

"."

Despite sensing the coldness in Ainz's words, Demiurge dared not question them.

It is an ironclad rule to respect Lord Ainz as a guardian.

But Sebastian's inclinations are very strange.

With a skeptical mindset, it decided to find out Lord Ainz's attitude.

But now they have received a response that is completely baffling.

Lord Ainz did not stop that dangerous contact; instead, he let it happen.

The message conveyed here is quite dangerous.

First Lord Ainz may have given up on Sebastian.

Second Lord Ainz had already foreseen the outcome, so he didn't care at all.

The identity of the human was still unknown, but whatever the situation, it made Demiurge slightly uneasy.

Sebastian, defying Albedo's position as the Guardian Steward, would act like that?

It doesn't consider this a normal thing.

That human's identity is definitely questionable.

Unfortunately, it couldn't get specific information from Sebastian's mouth.

After all, that dragonman was somewhat out of place among the guardians.

We wouldn't say we're complete strangers, but we're definitely in the kind of situation where we wouldn't actively seek each other out in real life.

The only way might be to use the maids to sound them out.

Demiurge vaguely realized that the human's identity was quite important.

Perhaps they possess secrets unknown to their other guardians.

"Call Albedo and the others here."

"If Saber really did appear on the Katz Plains."

"Then let's prepare a big gift for him."

"Yes!"

Having given the order, Ainz was indeed not as calculating as Demiurge.

The possibility that humans might come into contact with Sebastian has long been known.

After all, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call the Great Tomb of Nazarick a gathering place of "evil".

Sebastian is one of the very few who truly possesses "good" behavior.

This is why Ainz deliberately "neglected" Sebastian before.
