User blog comment:Nomad27/Predictions of what will Occur in Volume 10./@comment-27066364-20160406103157/@comment-27168967-20160424062109

Slane would no doubt think that Ainz took out Sunlight because of how Carne was the last place Nigun was spotted and the villagers already speak of tales how Ainz saved them though they may not relate directly to Sunlight. Slane should understand fully how powerful the summon the Sealing Crystal held within and Sunlight never came back even though they had that.

Slane probably refrained from approaching Ainz during the war because they don't know what his true powers are. The news of five hundred Death Knights and Soul Eaters should have made most of the Slane population brown their pants. The next news of how Ainz singlehandedly decimated the enemy army in the size of legions would pretty much be the last blow to their morale.

Whether they remain in the dark or they would send out their full force in panic really depends on vol 10. They still hold one last trump card, or so they claim. How they would use that is what I would like to see. It's one thing to be rational, it's another thing altogether if it's fanatism. Which side of the scale is the author going to put Slane on, I wonder?
