Warhammer 30k and the Great Tomb of Nazarick

Chapter 116 Preparing for Sacrifice
Burdon Ainzach is a cheerful middle-aged man. He is the president of the Adventurer's Guild in E-Rantel City and also a powerful warrior.

He had already spent all his energy on maintaining the operation of the Adventurer's Guild, and his own adventurous spirit had long been extinguished.

But after hearing Ainz's grand ideas for adventurers with his own ears, he felt like his youth had returned. He pledged allegiance to Ainz without hesitation and became the earliest loyal follower of Ainz in E-Rantel City.

After the Sorcerous Kingdom took over all operations in the city, including the Adventurer's Guild, Ainzach found that he had never fought such a prosperous battle in his life.

He didn’t need to worry about the adventurers’ logistics at all, as the undead would take care of everything. His clever move of asking the Sorcerer King Ainz not to set an age limit for adventurers also came in handy.

Many years later, Ainzach once again embarked on an adventure. This time he gained a lot. He came back to rest for a few days, and then he saw that E-Rantel was sealed off.

This is a situation that has never occurred since the Sorcerer King Ainz ruled here and established the Sorcerous Kingdom of Ainz Ooal Gown.

Ainzach still remembered the past few years that seemed like a dream.

Originally, E-Rantel was a prosperous city, but then the Sorcerer King suddenly appeared and slaughtered 200,000 Kingdom soldiers with unimaginable power, snatching E-Rantel from the Kingdom.

He established the Sorcerous Kingdom of Ainz Ooal Gown with the city of E-Rantel as its sole territory.

Honestly speaking, at the beginning, Ainzach, like most people, thought that he was doomed. Having an undead who brutally massacred 200,000 people as his ruler was obviously not a good thing.

But the subsequent developments were beyond everyone's expectations.

Considered to be the last possible force to resist the Sorcerer King, the dark hero Momon chose to submit to the Sorcerer King after the Sorcerer Kingdom took the entire city's citizens as hostages.

Afterwards, the Sorcerer King Ainz did not cause as much destruction to the city as imagined. As for his bloody rule, it was indeed quite bloody from a certain perspective.

Ainz brought in a large number of undead, many of whom were legendary undead such as Undead Knights and Soul Eaters. These undead replaced most of the labor in the city.

At the same time, Ainz also emphasized equality among multiple races, so now E-Rantel has become the city with the richest racial diversity. Here you can see almost every race, and all races must abide by the laws of the Sorcerer King, otherwise they will be killed without mercy.

With the powerful productivity and strong execution brought by the Sorcerous Kingdom, E-Rantel soon became much more prosperous than before.

Many people in the city had begun to forget the massacre caused by the Sorcerer King. However, there were only a few who were truly die-hard fans like Ainzach, whose loyalty was not affected even by the massacre of the kingdom’s civilians.

However, even Ainzach, who had given his life to the Sorcerer King Ainz, was now feeling irritated and uneasy about the current situation.

The sudden blockade of the city and the deployment that seemed like a sign of war had forced the undead, who had previously adapted with great difficulty to being used as tools of production, to suddenly become a force for sealing off the city and surveilling the people.

But these residents don’t even know who they are fighting.

It is also impossible to imagine what kind of enemy could force the Sorcerous Kingdom to enter a state of full war preparedness.

Moreover, it has been a while since I last saw the Sorcerer King, Prime Minister Albedo, or other high-ranking officials.

How could others not be panicked in such a situation? It was under such circumstances that Ainzach discovered that he, the Adventurer's Guild President who had always considered himself to be highly valued by the Sorcerer King, was actually no different from other ordinary people.

At this time, he could not see the Sorcerer King’s confidants, and did not know what had happened.

Not knowing what to do, Ainzach could only go to the Adventurer's Guild to drink some wine. He had originally planned to spend the day like this.

But today, chaos suddenly broke out in the city, and the undead army, mainly composed of death knights and great wizards of the dead, began to take people away from house to house.

Even the members of the Adventurer's Guild on their side were not spared. After the undead army entered, they announced that everyone must follow them and leave immediately. Their attitude was completely different from what the Sorcerer King had said before, that he valued adventurers. There was no sense of respect at all.

Ainzach grabbed the robe of a deceased great magician and asked:

"What happened? Why do we need to gather everyone?"

"This is the Sorcerer King's order. All you have to do is follow it."

The Great Magician of the Dead immediately pulled Ainzach’s hand away and spoke in a commanding tone.

Ainzach wanted to say something, but the Death Knight next to him had already drawn his weapon, so Ainzach had no choice but to follow the troops.

On the way, he saw his wife. He tried to go up to her and be with her, but they were immediately squeezed out of sight by the crowds.

Worried about his wife, Ainzach followed the team to a large square, where rows of people were already kneeling on the ground, including people of all races.

At this time, Ainzach waved his hands desperately, hoping to resonate with the cultural circle here.

The Sorcerer King Ainz and his subordinates were also standing opposite the stage. Beside him was a female devil who looked very similar to a human.

It was unknown whether Ainz had deliberately ignored the signal sent by Ainzach, or whether he had deliberately ignored it.

But Ainzach soon knew what was going to happen after this.

Ainz is going to perform a Khorne-related sacrifice in this city.

Of course, it definitely doesn't know the specific process. All of this was obtained from the Golden Princess Lana.

As for how the Golden Princess knew this information, according to the Golden Princess herself, this knowledge was obtained from an enemy.

As for how credible it was, Ainz felt at ease and didn't care about these people anymore.
