"Foolish commander."
Ainz stood at the entrance of Kain Village facing the Sun Gods Scripture unit, calling out and mocking the army's commander. "The Warrior Chief kindly warned you, yet you still recklessly step into this territory. This place was just placed under the protection of Nazarick. To invade Kain Village means to make an enemy of Nazarick and me, Ainz Ooal Gown. I trust you have prepared yourselves. —Death Knight! Crush the enemy!"
"Ooooooaaaaaaaah!" Radiating a terrifying magical power, the Death Knight lunged toward the army. Nigun was just about to question the Magic Caster's identity when the opponent suddenly summoned a high-level Undead to attack them. Before the front-line troops could react, they were sent flying by the roaring Death Knight's overwhelming...
...and destructive slashes. That Undead was like a black wind, instantly tearing through their unit and beginning a heartless slaughter.
The vanguard troops immediately panicked. This unit of theirs didn't have many vanguard classes to begin with; they were either priests or mages. Even if some priests could barely perform vanguard duties, dealing with a Death Knight whose level far exceeded theirs was too difficult.
For a moment, the entire unit fell into chaos. Nigun shouted from the back, "Calm down! Have the angels surround it! Then use Holy Water! It's just a mere Undead. As the representatives of God on earth, how can we fear such foul spirits!"
Although the Death Knight's impact was indeed strong and caused heavy losses to the Sun Gods Scripture, it was after all just one Death Knight. After falling into the enemy formation, it was soon surrounded by angels. Combined with the attacks of Holy Water, a sound resembling a scream of agony began to appear within the Death Knight's roar.
Undead were originally supposed to have the skill Pain Immunity, but everything has its weakness. Holy water and the holy attribute of Angels are precisely the bane of the Undead, capable of dealing massive weak-point damage to a Death Knight.
Ainz Ooal Gown saw the Death Knight being surrounded and attacked, but he had no intention of stepping in to help. Even if the Sun Gods Scripture had temporarily gained the upper hand, it would still take a certain amount of time to whittle down the Death Knight's HP.
"Is this all there is to it?"
Ainz was waiting for the opponent to use their trump card.
Although that commander hadn't shown any noteworthy means until now, such a degree of probing was necessary after learning that the Theocracy might possess World Items. Since the effects of World Items could mostly ignore level gaps, if the opponent happened to be carrying one, there would be a risk of failure even if he and Albedo intervened.
That was why he sent the Death Knight to test them.
After all, the Death Knight was merely a Familiar he had summoned using a skill; he wouldn't feel any remorse even if it were sacrificed. But by the look of it, the commander of this unit indeed didn't seem to be carrying a World Item.
Then again, it made sense. If he were the ruler of the Theocracy, he wouldn't hand over such a precious item to this unit. They were so weak; what if a precious item in their hands was snatched away by an enemy? That was a very likely scenario.
It was time to end this game.
Thinking of this, Ainz looked toward the Sword Saint beside him.
While he didn't want to waste any more time with the Sun Gods Scripture, he didn't know what the Sword Saint was thinking.
According to his plan, he would naturally wipe out this unit and leave a few survivors to take back for experiments.
