Because you think Nazarick is out for blood and mass destruction, which isn't really the point. What you mean the 9 millions people would be reduce to half? The whole point why Nazarick has delay invasion so far is to try to take the kingdom intact. Sure a few thousands will die but i doubt the blood will be spill too much except for the nobles and their soldiers. The whole point is to make Ainz nation look attractive in front of other nations and make it seems like it isn't the aggressor. Is not about good or bad, but the image of Ainz itself. He is a great hero who saved the Holy Kingdom against Jaldaboath and a person who aided the dwarf kingdom. Which is why they even need a justify excuse to delcare war, but a attack on their carriage will only bring them so far. Is not enough to warrant mass killings. If they kill too many, the other nations would see Ainz country as a threat, which is not favorable for Ainz future conquest. City states, Agrande counsil and Theocracy is all watching how Ainz nation will handle it.

Even in the Holy Kingdom, with Jaldaboath wrecking the nation, the casuelty isn't that high. Most that died are soldiers,paladins,adventurers or priests. Demi wiped out the strong ones while kept most of the weak citizens in camps for torture which Ainz will then rescue them. Sure a lot of prisoners are killed but i seriously doubt Demi even mange to cause a million casualty. And even with all the preparation he did, Demi still need years before able to annex the Holy kingdom which is smaller than the Kingdom itself. And the only reason that he could speed things up is because Neia exist with her newly founded organization.

And what you mean Jircniv has enough headaches already? The guy is practically now on vacation mode and leaving more work for Albedo. His work has significantly reduce ever since they became a vassal state. All he had to do is use Nazarick name and the complains would die down. His 80k knight are practically now just sitting around and getting paid with not much to do. Jircniv is probably worried he is funding that many soldiers anyway since he use to tax the nobles using excuses that the war need funds. Back then they still need to send soldiers to cleanse the katze plains and their yearly war, but there is not much to do except doing some patrols in the nation. Even if he retire them, they would still need a job to live on. Nazarick need the Empire to earn their keep. Jircniv need to be involve in the annexation of the kingdom. He had been preparing to abosrb the kingdom for years already. The Empire has the manpower, resources and soldiers Renner need to stablize everything. Ainz manpower isn't enough. The kingdom territories is huge and the population large. Even if he spend night and day making undead, they would still never be enough. He need suitable people ruling it and keep things in order. The Empire is perfect for that.

And what i mean with pacify all the guilds, i mean to make sure they don't move to another nation and ship away all their talents and goods. Like when the magician guild took away all their items and people before Ainz took over in E-rantel. Or when the adventurer adamantite team in the Empire left for the City states after Jircniv miserable encounterwith Ainz in vol10. So in order to make sure the merchants(the rich), the pharmacy, or the adventuers or casters stay behind, Ainz need to take the Kingdom in such a way that is reasonable and without much bloodshed. If he cause too much damage, the adventurers would be force to fight him because they exist to protect the people. So i am curious just how Nazarick is gonna do this. Forcefully invading is not Ainz way. There has to be a plan involve that would break the kingdom easily without Ainz needing to bloody his hands and instead be seen as a savior instead a conqueror.

So the only solution i see is either the capital is attack by demons or it was attack by rebellious nobles to take power and cause the death of the royal family. Which in turn allow Ainz for a easier takeover with Renner help. And if the Empire get involve with real living human army doing the takeover, the other nations wouldn't be able to say anything nor would the adventurers or churches resist. Is not like they would start fighting among each other when both side are humans.
