You gotta give the kingdom citizens respect to still have the corurage to face Ainz in a open field battle after the last fiasco. I though by now those who had surivived would be suffering sever PTSD by now.

But is possible that they try to recruit a complete new army and replace the previous ones who had survived the battle. The kingdom still has 9million people. Force concription of another 100k is possible. Unless they has personally experience that hell, the new recruits are still ignorant about what truly happen in the previous war. Most just heard the news that they lost and that Ainz had use a powerful summoning to destroy the army. Just like how the Holy Kingsdom doesn't seems impress by Ainz winning against the kingdom and think summoning goats is kinda funny and weird.

Personally i think Nazarick has a lot of work cut out for them after annexing the kingdom. First the solving of the famine that would take place, then the cancerous nobles(thousands) would need to be purge, then they have to find suitable replacements for  the nobles to govern the territories and lastly they have to fill the covers of the kingdom treasury which woulld be pretty empty by then. Also pacify the adventurers,magician,pharmacy and merchant guilds while also handling the churches.

I think Renner would be a tremendous boast in reviving the kingdom and make it prosperous, but she would need a ridiculous amount of manpower and resources. Ainz can summon undead for most of the work, but how many can he daily summon to able to control a population of 9millions? The only way i see it, is to get Jircniv and his Empire to be fully involve and send everything they got. Soldiers to maintain the peace, bureaucrats to replace nobles and large amount of supplies. The 8 fingers would also able to help greatly.

But i still wonder how Nazarick is gonna do it. How they gonna annex the kingdom? The royal family and the nobles would need to die. I still think a civil war would have been better instead of a invasion strategy. Coming to a nation aid sounds better then declaring war. Who is gonna kill off the prince, the king and his other daughters? Killing them would make Ainz seems like the bad guy, because in wars, you usually ransom nobility as a show of mercy and respect. Maybe if the artifact that Demi left behind in the capital is still not destroyed and could be activated to summon large amount of demons to cause chaos in the capital and kill a few important people.
