The Beastmen there have been in a state of war for a very long period of time, so it can be said that while not as mighty of a strain that it puts on DK is exerted of them,it is still not to be ignored. They also seemed to know that they could use humans as cattle and forced labour so conquering them was not out of the question,as oppossed to limited campaigns. I beleive it could be possible for there to have been a change of leadership that pushesh them to take as much as possible from this buffer state. Though it could also be known to them that the deeper they occupy the DKs territory,the more foreigners with greater power would arrive to depose them, i.e the Sunlight Scripture was a regular combatant they faced. And therefore either stimulated or dissuaded by this for a time, now by some change having happened decide to test how much they can accomplish in terms of success in this war. These changes could be as you have pointed out because of a player,influence from nazarick behind the scenes(though that would be rather unlikely), a new stronger tribal leader who consolidated power,who could either be from the local tribes or one further away who made a change of policy. And I am hoping for Overlord to last as much as necessary for the story to be told properly,but the longer it is, as long as the quality is maintained and it stays within the visions of the author, the better. And even if it ends Maruyama did say that he would write exyra novels though my guess is that they would be outside rhw frame of the main plot that is Overlord. (Still the same old anon)
