Looking Forward to Another World

The tenth floor of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, the Throne Room.

A day later, Ainz sat here again, but there were no longer many NPCs and servants under his command.

Apart from Ainz, the only people present were Albedo and Demiurge. The rest were assigned to various floors and were preparing for the war.

At this time, Ainz was confirming the losses in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick in this battle through the guild system, while listening to Albedo's accounting report.

"Currently, based on preliminary estimates, Nazarick's losses in this battle are basically as follows."

"In the underground tomb area on the first, second, and third floors, except for Shalltear Bloodfallen, who is the guardian, all the other combat forces were completely wiped out, and no one survived."

"In the underground lake area on the fourth level, Guardian Gargantua has no damage, no consumption, and no abnormalities. Except for a very small part of the deployed combat power, the rest are all resisting Lige Brihao. was killed in the process."

"In the fifth-level ice field, the environmental effects were not affected, and the defense mechanism was destroyed. Guardian Cocytus was successfully resurrected after being killed in the battle, but the ice monsters under his command were severely damaged, including several level 85 monsters. The snow girl was all burned up by the flames with extraordinary heat."

"In the dense forest area on the sixth floor, all the monsters that went to confront Lige Brighaut were killed. Aura and Mare were also killed once. There were also several level 80 monsters in the legions under Aura's command. The above monsters were defeated, and the two paid dragons brought by Mare were not spared. Even the golems deployed in the arena were mostly destroyed, and only a few can be repaired."

"The loss of the lava zone on the seventh floor is second only to the first to third floors. Not only has the terrain environment been changed, but the domain guardians who stayed in it, including the Jealous Demon General, the Angry Demon General, the Lust Demon General, and the Naraku Dominator, have all lost their lives. were killed. Five of the only seven demons in the Twelve Palaces were killed in the battle. Guren, the strongest who was even stronger than the guardians of some floors, was killed. All the demons and undead in each configuration were defeated. The commander, Guardian Demiurge, was killed in the battle, and the losses were quite heavy.”

Hearing Albedo's words, Demiurge looked ashamed.

Ainz didn't react.

Because he knew that the real big loss was yet to come.

"The last is the eighth floor, which serves as the final line of defense in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick."

Albedo reported to Ainz in the most solemn voice.

"The large-scale and fierce fighting in the past two months has brought most of the defense mechanisms and enemy mechanisms on the eighth floor to a standstill. Most of the areas on the eighth floor have been destroyed, and the level 85 spiritual monsters deployed there Yuka no Tamami and Danian both died, Lubedo also died three times, and the "those" created by the Supreme Beings at great cost died several times, although they were all successfully resurrected in the end. The resources required to open the eighth floor and to resurrect the strongest forces led by Rubedo consume more resources than the guardians. This loss caused the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick to lose nearly half of its accumulation. "

"In addition to the destroyed areas on each floor, the defense mechanisms that have been destroyed and cannot be restarted, magic traps, machine traps, and krypton gold monsters that cannot automatically flow out, etc., if you want to make up for all these and restore the lost combat power, then The resources required will be further increased, and about 20% of the materials in the inventory will need to be transferred."

"If you consider that there may be a second attack in the future, it would be best to reinforce and strengthen the defense mechanism and combat power reserves of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. This will consume some of your savings."

"To sum up, after statistics, the losses in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick in this incident will cause nearly 70% of the savings to evaporate, and it may even be more."

After saying that, Albedo's own heart was trembling.

Nearly 70% of the loss!

These are the resources that the super alien guild "Ainz Ooal Gown", which was ranked among the top three in "YGGDRASIL", has accumulated since its establishment until now.

These resources are extremely useful. They can be used to create paid high-level monsters, resurrect dead high-level NPC characters, and activate the defense mechanisms and enemy systems on many floors, including the eighth floor. It can also be used to create magic props, magic potions, special items and other props with various effects.

It can be said that these resources are the foundation of the existence of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. They are the treasury, the treasure house, and the most important food and grass.

If a guild consumes all its resources, it will not be far away from its demise. It will even make the players themselves unable to resurrect after death. They will die completely and there will be no chance of another guild. Opportunity.

If the resources are still there, no matter how many times you die or are destroyed, you still have a chance to be resurrected.

Once resources are insufficient, even resurrection will be impossible.

Therefore, resources are extremely important to the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, more important than the lives of all the guardians who serve Ainz.

If the guardian's life is gone, he can still be resurrected using existing resources.

But when resources are gone, NPCs including guardians are doomed.

With such an important accumulation, about 70% of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick will now be lost. This is simply more uncomfortable than killing Albedo.

Of course, Ainz was like this too.

However, whether it was because he was forced to remain calm or because he had been mentally prepared in advance, Ainz surprisingly did not experience any major emotional ups and downs.

He even had the energy left to press the button and turned to Demiurge.

"The situation inside the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick has been confirmed. What is the situation outside?"

After Ainz asked, Demiurge quickly responded.

"It's also pretty messy outside, but that's definitely a good thing for us."

Demiurge said this.

"With the assistance of the golden princess, the royal family and nobles of the Kingdom of Li Yestije have placed the responsibility for this incident on the Silian Theocracy, and are currently preparing to send envoys to the Silian Theocracy to discuss matters. Judging from their attitude, the possibility of directly declaring war is not impossible, as long as those nobles are not stupid enough to shirk responsibility for each other in this incident in the royal capital, and take the opportunity to attack the royal family and fall into internal fighting again."

"There was an accident on the Silian Theocracy's side. Because of the unexpected survival of [Jue Die Jue Mie], they learned about our existence from his mouth and realized that there was something fishy in this matter. But because of the Black Saint The Codex was almost completely destroyed, and the crazy members of the Black Codex either died in the hands of Gazef Stronov, or were jointly killed by adventurers and other large groups, and even their equipment was confiscated and killed by those Stupid nobles and money-hungry adventurers have enriched their own pockets, and it is said that the head priest of the Slane Theocracy has lost his mind and is preparing to take revenge."

"Due to the secret operations of Aura and Mare in the empire, the empire's chief magician, who is known as the strongest magic caster in mankind, the old man who can use sixth-level magic, has surrendered to us in Nazarick. , with his assistance, the emperor of the empire, who has great trust in him, has a high chance of being involved."

"The atmosphere for a large-scale war among the three countries has already spread. I believe that our plan will be successfully implemented soon."

Demiurge's report was undoubtedly a breath of fresh air amidst the bad news, giving Ainz some comfort.

So, Ainz gave the instructions he had thought about before.

"In this case, let's revise the plan. The ultimate direction of the plan is to explore the details of the Theocracy, but in the process, we have to shift our focus and find ways to make money from the national crisis and extract enough from these countries to fill the gap. Salik’s resources for this loss.”

"Our ultimate goal is still the Silian Theocracy, but for the sake of Nazarick, even if it may cause the plan to be delayed, we must first find a way to make up for the loss."

"When necessary, if there is a chance to obtain valuable resources similar to the seven-color mine like Shalltear did last time, it is not impossible to abandon the plan."

"Anyway, we are immortal and alien, and our life span is much longer than that of humans. There is no need to rush."

"We have to hibernate for some time in the future and try our best to avoid encountering powerful enemies during this period. Do you understand?"

Ainz's instructions naturally resulted in Albedo and Demiurge kneeling down.

"Yes, Lord Ainz."

The two bowed their heads and responded.

"very good."

Ainz nodded, finally feeling a little more relaxed.

However, at this moment......

"A-Lord Ainz!"

Shalltear's voice suddenly appeared in Ainz's mind in panic.

"What's wrong? Shalltear?"

Ainz sat up straight.

Immediately, he heard bad news.

"Then, that monster is here again!"

…………

The Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick and the Surface Cemetery.

When Ainz appeared here in a panic with a large army, Li Ge just happened to land from mid-air.

"Hey, we meet again, Mr. Momonga."

Li Ge smiled as if he were a guest.

Unfortunately, Ainz was not in such a good mood as he was.

"What are you doing here again? Lige Brighaut!" Ainz yelled with some sternness, "We have reached an armistice agreement, right? Do you regret it?"

In response to this question, Li Ge naturally shook his head in denial.

"No." Li Ge showed a smile that frightened Ainz, and said: "It's just that my strength has increased a little, which makes me a little uncomfortable, so I just want to ask you for a favor."

"Help?" Ainz suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"That's right." Li Ge said calmly: "You can open the eighth floor again and let Lubedo and the others play with me."

"It won't take long, only about ten days, right?"

"Okay?"

Upon hearing this, Ainz's vision went dark and he fainted on the spot.
