You should really read the novel again. In no where does Demiurge mention that he want total purge of all SK enemies. War can be won by forcing your enemies allies with you and that has always been their aim. Just like how Ainz has been spreading his undead to building villages, working the field, mining and the like to make people feel that the undead are more useful than a threat. Demiurge also acknowledge that in vol.11. That's why this situation in the HK needs a scapegoat.

The people of the southen part never participate in the war and never see the heroic figure of Ainz Ooal Gown. So who's to blame in this situation? The undead king obviously, since they have all been brainwash to believe that undead are their enemy. Jaldabaoth is dead, yet the people still suffer (thanks to the doppler prince), so they can't use him as a scapegoat. Demiurge needs to diverge that hatred else where, thus come Remedios. She is infact has a lot of political value. She was the head of the paladin order and she also a close friend of the previous Holy Queen. Now that the queen is dead, and Remedios loses credibility of her allies. When the south can't take it anymore and demand answer from the north. Why, the obvious answer is her.

Meanwhile, Neia has spread the name of the hero and merciful Sorcerer King far and wide. So when Ainz come in and take over, he can immediately make people life better. The people will support him, they will believe that he is the cure for their suffering and his enemies (most probably the nobles or the temples) will have to acknowledge him and become his allies. They have no other choice, unless they want to be enemy of the people.

This is just what i think though so just take it with a grain of salt. Haha
