Chapter 569: Wen Shengzai: Oh no, there's a mole among us!

~7 min read 1,241 words

Renner knew very well that since she was a child, no matter what wrong things she did, as long as she didn't touch Wen Shengzai's bottom line, her gentle brother would eventually forgive her.

Although as a princess, she rarely left the palace, through multiple sources of information, no one knew her brother better than she did.

Lakyus, that silly girl, had always positioned herself as a sister-in-law, treating her as a sister and a best friend. Whatever she asked, the other party would say, completely unguarded.

And there was that gluttonous dragon beside Brother Wen Shengzai, which was even easier to deal with.

Relying on the identity of Brother Wen Shengzai's "sister," and then feeding her, that dragon-girl almost answered every question she asked.

The Great Tomb of Nazarick was indeed powerful, but Renner also knew clearly that her Brother Wen Shengzai could protect her.

If Brother Wen Shengzai weren't so perfect and powerful, Renner couldn't imagine who in this world, besides Nazarick, had the capital to defeat her brother, and she wouldn't have chosen to cooperate with Albedo and the others.

To complete her goal, defeating Brother Wen Shengzai was a must.

And in this world, it seemed that only the Great Tomb of Nazarick possessed such power.

Facing Renner's questioning, Albedo's face was a bit unable to hold up.

After all, they hadn't thought before that the Kingdom's Third Prince would be so unusual.

"I said it when we first met: although you are powerful and intelligent, you are too arrogant."

"It seems that in your eyes, humans are inferior species, not even as good as the weeds on the roadside."

"Although it cannot be denied that most humans are indeed just as you imagine."

"But my Brother Wen Shengzai—he doesn't belong to this category at all... Forget it, since Albedo is here now, I believe you probably understand now."

"I will tell you the information you want to know, but in return, I also hope you can do one more thing for me."

The relationship between Nazarick and the Golden Princess was still one of interest exchange.

The other party had indeed provided them with a lot of assistance, so after remotely asking Old Bone, Albedo asked about Renner's demands.

"Brother Wen Shengzai being exiled by Brother Zanac was just a pretext. In fact, when he went to the Holy Kingdom last time, Brother Wen Shengzai had already subdued the demi-humans and assisted them in establishing a nation."

"Because of the internal turmoil in the Kingdom, the Kingdom could only give up assisting the Empire in the war, but Brother Wen Shengzai joined the coalition of nations as the King of the Demi-human Nation."

"The current coalition of nations has already united the Empire, the Demi-human Nation, the Holy Kingdom, and the Theocracy, forming a large-scale armed force of 1.3 million."

The big news Renner revealed undoubtedly stunned Albedo, because she really hadn't expected that the Emperor of the Empire would still have the ability to lead such a large-scale coalition under those circumstances.

"What is the overall strength of this coalition? How many extraordinary strong individuals are there?"

Facing Albedo's questioning, Renner shrugged helplessly: "Lord Albedo, you are making it too difficult for me."

"Living in the palace, it's already quite remarkable that I can know this kind of information. You actually expect me to know the specific strength of the army."

"However, based on the level of the Kingdom and the Empire fighting for years, the armies of the Empire and the Holy Kingdom should not pose any threat to you."

"As for those demi-humans that Prince Wen Shengzai subdued, I seem to recall that gluttonous dragon, Kang Jinlong, mentioning that there are quite a few formidable characters among them."

After obtaining information from Princess Renner, Albedo couldn't stay in the Kingdom for a moment longer.

This emergency required her, as the overseer of Nazarick, to go back and gather the Guardians to discuss countermeasures.

"I've told you the information; next, it's time to listen to my conditions."

"The Emperor of the Empire seems to have the idea of proposing a marriage contract to me, and based on my understanding of Brother Zanac and Father, they will probably agree to this."

"So as a condition for exchanging this information, I hope you can help me destroy this marriage."

"As for whether you want to kill the Emperor of the Empire, or my Father and Brother Zanac, you can do whatever you like. In short, I cannot marry the Emperor of the Empire."

Renner's black-bellied and yandere nature wasn't a matter of a day or two, and even Albedo often thought that the other party was a good seedling for being a demon by nature.

After returning to the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Albedo reported the matter to Old Bone for the first time.

And very soon, in the Throne Room on the tenth floor of Nazarick, many Guardians gathered together and began to discuss countermeasures.

As long as there were enough materials, the Bone King could also summon a large number of undead armies.

But due to the previous battle in the Kingdom's capital, in order to negotiate with Wen Shengzai, a large number of captured Kingdom commoners were released back.

So now, the Great Tomb of Nazarick was not lacking in top-tier combat power, but the low-to-mid-level undead armies were slightly insufficient.

A coalition of 1.3 million nations was not enough to scare Old Bone.

It was just because this was the first time the Great Tomb of Nazarick had shown its power to the world, so the necessary pomp could not be lacking.

Before, to rule a Lizardman tribe, Old Bone had specifically laid out the "Road of Kings." Now that he was going head-to-head with human nations, without corresponding pomp, how could he live up to the name of Ainz Ooal Gown?

"Lord Ainz, you said before that there were dragons in the Azerlisia Mountains."

"So your subordinate believes that perhaps we can subdue the dragons and monsters there, just like we subdued the Lizardman tribe, to expand our army."

"And if those races are stubborn and unwilling to submit to Lord Ainz's rule, we can also kill them all and use their corpses to summon more Death Knights."

Regarding Demiurge's suggestion, Old Bone nodded and accepted it after hesitating for a moment.

Originally, he didn't intend to implement a reign of terror, but now that a great war was about to start, it wasn't the time to worry about that.

"The matter of conquering the Azerlisia Mountains will be left to Cocytus, and... Shalltear, you two."

"Demiurge, you have contacted the demi-humans of this world before; go and investigate what is going on with the Holy Grace Demi-human Nation."

"Aura, and Mare, you two are responsible for maintaining Nazarick's combat power."

"Albedo, maintain contact with the 'Golden Princess' and try to get more useful information from her."

"Everyone, this is the first real war since our Great Tomb of Nazarick came to this world. Let us take the fruits of victory together!"

"As you command, Lord Ainz!" Xn

After kneeling on one knee to accept Old Bone's order, the Guardians left one after another.

And Old Bone, taking Albedo with him, came to Nazarick's treasury again and took out a large amount of equipment left by his former companions and various precious magic items.
