@Anon above Peerless93

I'd say he's more Chaotic Neutral (That borders more on Chaotic side) than Lawful Evil, since the term "Evil" is only from the human perspective. He's "Chaotic" because has no qualms with taking lives if it furthers his goals but he's also "Neutral" because he has justified reasons for them along with the fact that he has lines that he doesn't cross as I explained above.

Ainz may have instigated the event (really, all he did was leak info about Nazarick) but he in no way should be held in such a negative view because of the deaths of those workers. Ainz didn't force any of them to come, they all came with their own reasons and convictions and were ready to risk their lives to get rich. They took a gamble invading Nazarick and paid with it with their lives. You only feel sorry for them because we're humans and can sympathize with them, while Ainz has become a transcended being that sees Humans as nothing more than mosquitos.

There's nothing wrong with a Kingdom trying to take back its territory, fair enough. However, they were doing a pretty shitty job at protecting it and none of the Nobles would bat an eye lash if it was destroyed. Carne Village no longer belongs to the Kingdom, its Ainz's territory now and Gazef knew this and tried to plead with the Nobles not too underestimate its new Protector. So, I see no problem with Ainz retaliating when a village he saved was attacked.

I think your mistaken, the Empire (allied with Nazarick) sent the Kingdom a declaration of War over the territory near Carne Village. This isn't a "You took our territory, were coming to kill" War; its a "Carne Village is under my jurisdiction and we want it fully under our control, comply or else". So yes, they did have a choice of giving Carne Village to Ainz but the Nobles (being the prideful ignorant fools that they are) were furious and laughed at Ainz as some sort of Foolish Magic Caster that he'd pick a fight with the Kingdom so they sent their men. Then the massacre happened and none of those Nobles were laughing ever again.
