Well, if I get it right, Ainz uses the empire to wage war and get territory. Since Ainz wants a bigger territory and claims lands like Carne Village, he uses the empire as a scape goat. Carne Village is under his protection, the kingdom says no, Ainz uses the batle the empire and the kingdom fights yearly as a good introduction to his powers.

If Ainz had no alliance he could blame on, he would be seen as the bad guy (despite the spell he used is evil indeed).

after ainz killed almost anything related to the kingdom he goes and rapes the empire... is that part of the deal? No, a part of the plan involves knowing what Jircniv plans to do, which is to create an alliance against Ainz, which won't happen as long as Ainz treats his people well.
