User blog comment:Metadwarfosis/Slane Theocracy- Massive war or Surgical removal of Black Scripture?/@comment-27168967-20151221043604

Well, the Beast invasion is already shaping up to be a battlefield carnage. It's more or less down to who represents the Draconic side. I wouldn't put it past the author to have the Draconic kingdom annihilated either through military strength (beasts) or last ditch effort (Wild Magic) just to put things in perspective.

Slane Theocracy already lost a great number of combat oriented Scripture members. I's implied that aside from Black, Sunlight is the next in term of military strength that Slane Theocracy has to offer. Since we all know what happened to Sunlight and Black's overall strength has been decreased. There's really not much they can do to mount a full blown military campaign but there are possible alternatives.

One, to use the slaves as fodders in order to try and weaken Nazarick's side. Not that it would much good with the current Nazarick overal military might but Ainz prefers to keep the overall power he wields a secret so it's unkown how he'll deal with it. Maybe use Momon to gather the adventurers to form a countermeasure?

Two, align themselves with Emperor Smarty Pants since his military personnel are pretty much intact with the propaganda of human justice. That Jerky would love that. His subjects would probably wet their pants. This would probably cause a civil war to ignite where the Emperor was killed by his own men. Hell, that would be one hell of a joke.

Three, since their World Item is implied to be unusable... the next course of action would probably to field something that can equal the World Item. Yeah, we can probably see Zesshi in action this time. Well, just maybe.

As for Nazarick's side... Since the cover of the Demon Lord Demiurge has orchestrated has not been busted, it's possible Ainz (or Demiurge himself to be more probable) decide to have a little test and sent forth a legion of demons again. This time, their target is Slane Theocracy's headquarter. This might be the one thing that may force Zesshi to be field and we would end up with... Demiurge getting married. Yeah, right...

Black Scripture may not be at its full strength right now but they can still adopt guerilla tactics. Since Ainz is proposing to the Dwarves to set up some sort of trade deal (Nazaick's coffer is pathetically poor in term of New World currency right now), they might set up a trap to attack the envoy. I would imagine the envoy to be headed by Momon because there's no point to send any undead to antagonize the Dwarves but Black Scripture would be intercepted by Albedo's strike team and it's going to be one hell of a slaughter fest.
