It is possible v14 story will start after 2 years has passed after the Holy Kingdom arc. Both in v12 and 13 it has been hinted several times that Nazarick need at least 2 years of preparation before starting a war. The first time it was mention in v12chapter 3 when Neia and her group visited the Ainz nation. Here Ainz and Albedo mention that in order to gain full control of the region and have the humans and demihumans get along with each other, they would need around 5 years and at the minimum 2 years.

The second hint was in v13 chapter 5 when Ainz decide to fight Wrath. During the battle he mention that Albedo told him that Nazarick need at least 2 years before they can destroy the kingdom.

The third hint was in the intermission of v13 when the 8 fingers were discussiong their future plans. Here they mention they have receive orders to speed things up with the orders and things will start really moving after 2-3years.

Is it very reasnable that Nazarick need that much time. Because they now have taken the Alberion Hills too. To able to fully manage and get the region under the control of Ainz nation, they would need a lot of manpower and resources to oversee the place. Currently Nazarick has way too much projects going on. Creating the new adventurer guild, reform the Empire, help the dwarves expanding their nation and control the mountains and the Alberion Hills. All the citizens need time to get to know each other and accept the undead. Even the large scale farms need time to produce enough food for storage. Especially the Empire people and the Holy Kingdom need more time to accept Ainz and his undead. More trades are needed and more undead to be sent for labor works in these nations. Even the kingdom commoners need more time to see that living under Ainz rule isn't so bad and that he isn't a monster that slaughter the living. Then those who are starving or living  under the nobles would start to wish they were living under Ainz rule instead.
