Zern Prince Rescue Mission

Zern Prince Rescue Mission was a covert operation undertaken by the Holy Kingdom Liberation Army during Jaldabaoth's siege on their nation to rescue the prince of the Zern race to secure an alliance.

Background
Shortly after the Holy Kingdom Liberation Army was reeling over the loss of the apparent death of Ainz Ooal Gown, an envoy from the Zern race arrive before the leadership with a proposal that would benefit both parties. Though it was a bit unexpected that a part of the Demi-Human Alliance would consider rebelling, the envoy related to Prince Caspond and the other leaders of the Liberation Army of the circumstances of conscription with the Demon Emperor's forces. The Zerns had been forced to follow Jaldabaoth as the demon used his power and intimidation to cow the Zern into servitude. To ensure their submission the royals of the tribe were taken hostage. Since the royals were the two of the only male Zern and were necessary to continue the species, the Zerns had no choice but to follow Jaldabaoth. The Zerns went along with the invasion of the Roble Holy Kingdom, however the demi-humans have recently learned that the king of the Zerns who was held hostage in the Abelion Hills, was executed by demons leaving the young prince next in line and the sole male. The Zerns' very existence hanging in the balance, they decided it was time to ally with the human resistance for mutual goals. The demi-humans understood that the Liberation Army intended to reclaim the fortress city of Kalinsha to serve as the resistance's new base of operation. As it happened their prince was held captive in the city and the Zerns pledged 3,000 of their warriors to fight alongside the humans to retake the city if the prince was returned to them. Once the battle for the city was over the Zerns promised to have their forces abandon the war against the humans and flee with their prince.

Prince Caspond understanding that this would decrease the number of demi-humans the Liberation Army would have to fight and provided them with assurances that the demi-humans would not betray them, without potentially alerting the Demon Emperor and possibly eliminating the Zern prince, agreed to the proposal. The plan was to have a rescue mission be conducted during the chaos of the battle at Kalinsha. Under the cover of the battle, said rescue team would liberate the Zern prince held captive in one of the castle towers of the city.
