What Grimraven provided are pretty detailed in the current situation around the world. However, as the style so far from volume 1 to 9, we can see that one incident usually will have multiple parts of minor incidents happening. Take the Jaldabaoth incident for example, although the original plot was Ainz wanting to crush the Eight Fingers for harming a human he has decided to protect, his subordinates actually extended it to threaten the Kingdom and then raising Momon's fame in return for defeating Jaldabaoth. This act also induced a common enemy into the humans' heart that the ancient war might reoccur. So I do not believe that the confrontation between Draconic Kingdom and Beastman will be that simple, since his suborniates will likely add in more plots than the original goal. Also, this confrontation provides a lead to Slane Theocracy which worships the 6 Gods (likely players that got transported to the past in timeline and are not immortal that Ainz might suspect), as Ainz is continuing the search for the mind controller, he is very likely to send spies into Theocracy during this opportunity. These by no means will be short when told in the story.

With those possibilities, there may be some reminiscence on the history of those countries, or perhaps we may even have a prologue about E-rantel's daily life as a breather from the epilogue in vol 9. And as we can see from Enri's story, even some minor event can be added at the beginning, making the story long.

Still all these are personal spectaculations, I would gladly read on if the story is completely unrelated to such plot development. We are not the author after all.
