To put a human face on all the other people Ainz kills later, whose stories we don't have space to explore in detail. Namely, the tens of thousands of conscripts killed at the Katze Plains (and at Carne Village under Barbaro's 'leadership').

At Carn Village, there were probably less than two hundred innocent villagers on the defending side. Out of the thousands of conscripts attacking, probably most of them hadn't done anything particularly wrong other than have the bad luck to be chosen to be on the wrong side. There are at least a thousand stories just as sympathetic as Arche's, and yet they all die so that Ainz can protect the small number of villagers who respect his name.

And I have no problem with that.

The tens of thousands of deaths at the Katze Plains have even less justification. But when I think about who is responsible, only one name comes to mind...Ramposa III. Yes, Demiurge, Renner, and Ainz are all plotting based on certainty that Ramposa will act like a fool...but he's the one that actually acted the fool and threw away the lives of his people for the sake of his own vanity.

The same is true for Arche and Jircniv. She died because he thought sending an invasion force into Ainz's home was a great idea. Demiurge wouldn't have come up with such a plan if Jircniv weren't that kind of ruler.

But Jircniv wouldn't have been running his country otherwise.
