Well, he might.

As long as there was no definite downside.

And that's the real problem, bringing Calca back has massive downsides, even before we start talking about the benefits. Calca's role was to prop up an essentially dysfunctional system that was inimicably hostile to the Sorcerous Kingdom and essentially hypocritical even on it's own terms. The Holy Kingdom of Roble wasn't some kind of utopia for the commoners, it was a cross between the corrupt nobility of the Re-estize Kingdom and the genocidal militarism of the Theocracy.

Calca's one saving grace was that she recognized that picking a fight with the Sorcerous Kingdom before securing the border with the Abelion Hills and working out an alliance with the Theocracy would be suicide. That's pretty much it.

And it wasn't enough. Putting extermination of the SK on the back burner is good enough for Ainz to make repeated, sarcastic references to how 'friendly' you are, it isn't enough to avoid being recognized as an enemy.
