Mission: Red Ogre Cried

Mission: Red Ogre Cried was an operation to successfully allow Aura Bella Fiora and Mare Bello Fiore the opportunity to interact with the dark elves of the Great Forest of Evasha.

Background
Ainz Ooal Gown desiring for Aura and Mare to make friends with their own kind, to nurture their mental development sought to create a situation that would make the dark elves more receptive towards the twins from the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

The Sorcerer King, while on vacation in the Great Forest of Evasha, infiltrated the elven capital of the Elf Country near Crescent Lake. After three days of trying to make sense of the bizarre layout of the elf trees of the capital, Ainz finally located a lone male elf who he kidnapped and brought to his Green Secret House which served as temporary base in the forest. Using mental magic Ainz was able to ascertain the general direction of where the dark elf villages laid.

After erasing the elf's memory and putting back in his home, Ainz traveled with Aura and Mare on Fenn to the Three Trees, hopefully to meet some dark elves. When they reached the area and followed the instructions of the elf, they were unable to find the exact location of the village.

Aura wanting to go scout ahead was permitted by Ainz who told her to take Fenn with her for security. Aura eventually returned, this time with a new face, a magical bear beast which reported to her master was a creature of considerable power and a boss of the area. Aura had captured it and hoped to use in a experiment she had planned out.

The appearance of the bear gave Ainz a idea to use Mission: Red Ogre Cried, a old tactic he used with his guild. He had been planning to use a summoned beast for the mission, but the bear provided a substitute. Though there was concern on whether the creature could play the part as it had yet to be under Aura's full control. Mare hearing the title of the operation realized that the Overlord wanted to do a similar situation with the story as in "The Red Oni Who Cried". Ainz confirmed that it was, even though he himself did not know the origin of the name.

Battle
At an unnamed dark elf village which was the largest in the area, Blueberry Egnia had detected a violent roar through the forest whilst manning his post. Egnia concerned over the roar, called the Master of the Hunt Apple and his fellow rangers. From his assessment the roar came from an adult ankyloursus which to the dark elves was a fear monster in the Great Sea of Trees. While the rangers did not doubt Egnia's skills, one of the Vice Masters of the Hunt questioned if it truly was in hopes that the best ranger in the village could be mistaken.

Sadly Egnia dashed her hopes and confirmed that it was an ankyloursus. The Master of the Hunt asked EGnia on what could anger the ankyloursus, and that perhaps something had entered its territory? From Egnia's opinion it could be a number of factors. A few though asked why they should be concerned given that the territory of the nearest ankyloursus was still separated from their village in quite a distance. On that Egnia could only state that he had a feeling something was not right and advised that they should take precautions.

Apple hearing enough then decided that it would be best to postpone their hunt in the forest. Since their hunters had bagged enough food for the village it was fine to wait until the situation with the ankyloursus calmed down. Given the danger in the forest concerns were brought up on whether to inform the other villages of the threat. The conversation though went into the direction of questioning the leadership of the elders of the village, by Plum Ganen however was quickly silence by Egnia who reminded everyone of their main concern.

Another roar sounded, which was heard by all the rangers, highlight the growing danger, though by the sound it seemed very close to the village. It became an assessment of everyone that something had entered the ankyloursus's territory and escape, maybe causing the beast to chase it. It that was the case, a few of the rangers suggested they go out and look for the prey that is fleeing and lead it away and kill it somewhere far from the village. But the idea was rejected as it was feared doing so would cause the ankyloursus to be angered even more. Instead they should drive the prey away from their area if it came their way.
