Warhammer 30k and the Great Tomb of Nazarick

Chapter 7 Guess
Inside the Great Tomb of Nazarick
Ninth Floor Throne Room

Ainz Ooal Gown sat on the throne, playing with a bolter in his terrifying skeletal hand. This thing was too big to be a gun, too big, it was simply a cannon. Like the other weapons of those strange humans, they were all made very well, using technology that even Demiurge and Albedo, the most intelligent people in the Great Tomb, could not understand, and the style was unprecedented.

It is certain that this is not a game prop from Yggdrasil, and it is not something that the natives can produce.

If Ainz had eyebrows, they would probably be wrinkled together right now.

The situation seems to be completely different from what we expected before.

"Demiurge, tell me the current information."

“Yes, Master Ainz.”

Demiurge stepped forward and saluted Ainz, then began his report.

Its voice was still as magnetic as before, and it described the current situation in a steady tone.

"That is a group of forces that we have never seen before. According to the intelligence we have collected so far, they do not belong to the world before the Supreme Being, nor are they any forces that we have come into contact with here."

"According to their own confessions, there were only two white-armored giants alive. No one has spoken yet. The interrogator has decided to risk his own honor in the Great Tomb of Nazarick and make them tell everything they know today. I have to say that although they are fools who dared to resist the Supreme Being, their willpower is indeed rare and strong, but they are still fools and deserve the most cruel punishment."

The Guardians expressed their support for Demiurge's angry comments about the warriors they had fought yesterday, with Albedo becoming even more emotional.

“Ahhh! Ainz-sama, this is all my fault! It’s all my fault! I didn’t serve you at that time, and let those scum, garbage, and bugs touch Ainz with their filthy hands and vile weapons, and stained your beautiful body... Ahhhhh!”

“Alright, alright, it’s okay Albedo, I’m fine. Let Demiurge continue reporting.”

Ainz helplessly tried to comfort the frantic Albedo.

"But...but..."

"Okay, it's really okay. Let's do this. Next time there is a similar situation, I will take you with me."

"Really?! That's great! Ainz-sama! I love you!!!"

"That's so cunning, Master Ainz. I want one too."

Having received Ainz's permission, Albedo was so excited that she almost jumped forward, but Shalltear quickly stopped her and acted coquettishly towards Ainz.

"That...that..."

“Okay, don’t be shy, Ainz-sama. We also want to follow Ainz-sama at any time.”

Aura hugged the squirming Mare and demanded equal treatment from Ainz.

Ainz noticed that the remaining Guardians were also getting ready to make a move, so he quickly stopped them and told Demiurge to continue with his report.

"Only one of the black-clad pariahs survived. We resurrected three more and sent them to the Terror Public Office for punishment and torture. We obtained the following information, but it is too bizarre. I am not sure whether it is true or not. The wise Lord Ainz needs to make the final decision."

"They claim to be from a huge human empire. This empire is very large, spanning multiple worlds, and is ruled by a magic chanter who calls himself the Emperor."

"They came to us through a strange portal. They claim to be mortal auxiliary troops. Those white-armored giants are Space Marines, the sharp blades of the Emperor. Their direct leader is the child of the false Emperor, a general named Chagatai Khan. These Space Marines have a high position in the so-called Empire and are elite creatures. This time they have a total of 200 auxiliary troops and 10 Space Marines."

"We saw 40 auxiliary troops and 6 so-called space marines. We haven't found other targets yet. According to previous reports, I have sent spies to further explore the area."

Ainz nodded. "Demiurge, how credible do you think their words are? How serious of a threat can they be?"

"Great Ainz-sama, we still have too little intelligence at the moment. Even though we have used our advanced technology to extract what these mortal auxiliary troops know, some of the information is too absurd, so we cannot be sure how much of it is just their nonsense. As we all know, humans are lowly and stupid creatures. They cannot comprehend things that are too profound, nor can they understand their true position. They always take imaginary lies as the truth. But even though the light of rotten grass cannot compete with the sun and the moon, based on the current intelligence, I think these newly emerged forces are still somewhat threatening and need us to take them seriously."

Ainz nodded. Although he still didn't quite understand what Demiurge said, he could still understand that there was a threat but it wasn't a big one. After all, he had to consider the Guardians like Shalltear who had a poor comprehension ability. Well, Shalltear was really useful. Thank you, Shalltear.

"Okay, Demiurge's opinion is my opinion. Let's continue to observe. Slow down the pace of the destruction of the Theocracy for now, and proceed step by step. We must look through every detail. I don't want any accidents to happen."

“Yes, Master Ainz.” × All NPCs
"Well, if there's nothing else, then let's disband."

"Lord Ainz, I just got some new information."

Demiurge stepped forward and reported his new findings.

"Under the orders of Lord Ainz, we retreated temporarily and waited for the enemy to show their true colors. Now, we have indeed discovered new rats."

Ah? Did I have this order yesterday? I seemed to be startled by the sudden situation yesterday, so I came back directly.

"Very well, go ahead."

Ainz complained in his heart, but still relied on his expressionless skull to pretend to be deep as always.

“Lord Ainz, we have discovered new troops over there. These new troops are using equipment completely different from that of the Theocracy. They are clearly another type of ignorant ant. I will show you the footage now.”

Demiurge activated magic, showing the latest situation on the battlefield yesterday.

A large group of people wearing military-like uniforms appeared there. They were driving several strange-shaped cars and were digging trenches and setting up fortifications.

Two white-armored Space Marines were patrolling nearby in a vehicle similar to a super-heavy motorcycle.

Reinforcements?
These forces who call themselves the Empire are coming to reinforce so soon? Oh, they don't look as strong as the Space Marines and Auxiliary Forces before. They look more like a punk modern army, without that sci-fi style.

Ainz stroked his chin as he thought, when suddenly, without any warning, a Space Marine pulled out his bolter and opened fire at the small surveillance unit.

A small device used for surveillance was killed on the spot.

Although this is just a low-level creature that can be summoned at any time by the Great Tomb, it is still a summoned creature specialized for surveillance and concealment, and no one has been able to discover it so easily before.

These guys are really responsive.

Well, let's let others train these newcomers. Thinking that if he went alone, Albedo would definitely pester him again, Ainz decided to let other floor guardians do this task. He was definitely not afraid of trouble, he really just wanted to train the guardians.

And the newly collected corpses are also very interesting. It's a good opportunity to study what will happen if I use them for summoning.

Ordinary people's corpses can be used to summon permanent Death Knights. Ainz feels that the physical abilities of those Space Marines are obviously superior to those of the heroes of this world, and perhaps even higher than the basic stats of the Death Knights themselves. Using them as summoning materials might allow him to make something really good.

Ainz looked around at the Guardians present, and finally stopped his gaze on Mare and Aura.

“Mare, Aura, take 5000 low-level undead of various types, 1000 Nazarick senior guards, 500 Nazarick experienced guards, 100 Nazarick master guards, and 20 dragon bloodlines and try it together. Try not to attack. Cocytus has used miscellaneous soldiers to fight before. This time, take stronger soldiers and try it to accumulate some experience for the war that may come later.”

“Yes, Lord Ainz.” ×2
