Sorcerer Kingdom's Elf Evacuation Plan

Sorcerer Kingdom's Elf Evacuation Plan was an humanitarian operation conducted by the Sorcerer Kingdom to evacuate the inhabitants of the Elf Country amidst the latter nation's conflict with the Slane Theocracy.

Background
Following the Sorcerer Kingdom's conquest of the Re-Estize Kingdom, Sorcerer King Ainz dreaded the increased workload that this would bring. He thus hatched a plan to go on a vacation to the Elf Country under guise of putting his nation through a practice drill in case he were to go missing. He also wanted to bring along the 6th Floor Guardians, Aura and Mare, hoping that interacting with other elves would help in the duo's development.

However, after doing research on the Elf Country by questioning a trio of its citizens and learning that the nation was currently at war with the Slane Theocracy, not wanting to start another conflict so soon after the one with the Kingdom, the monarch altered his plans: if he could not bring the twins to the rest of their kind, he would bring the rest of their kind to the twins.

Searching for the Dark Elves
Ainz Ooal Gown, traveled to the Great Forest of Evasha under the pretense of taking a paid vacation with Aura, Mare and Fenn in tow. Once there, Ainz decided to collect information of the Theocracy's invasion progress. From an aerial view he noted their advance to the capital involved building a road to cut through the forest. After several days of observing the Theocracy's forces, Ainz decided to check on the royal elven capital at Crescent Lake.

At nightfall at the capital, still ever paranoid of meeting a powerful foe, Ainz conducted his investigation alone under [Perfect Unknowable] and used a magic scroll to assist him to assist him to explore the city. His investigation went undetected, but his efforts proved fruitless as the entire city was chaotic and just a mass of thousands of interconnected elf trees with no order or structure compared to a human city. Having no luck the first night in his investigation of the capital, he returned to his temporary base of Green Secret House in the forest where his party were waiting for him.

After some discussion with Aura, he was advised that he should conduct in search of the capital during the day. Aura opted to investigate the surroundings of the city with Mare to find any tracks left by the elves. It was surmised by the ranger that the since goods must travel to the city there should be trails that lead to other places frequented by elves such as other settlements.

By the second day at noon, Ainz had already used another scroll in his investigation without any new intel. Though on the third day at noon he finally found a lead, by eavesdropping on what was being said at the trees with shops. The layout of the city still confused him, but managed to ascertain the location of the royal castle where the king dwelled. Though he wanted to take a peak at the castle, he managed to restrain his curiosity. He had heard that the king was an extremely strong person and did not want to invite meaningless danger.

After regrouping with the twins, Ainz learned from them that while they wasted the second days in searching for roads on the ground, they finally found a number of trails in the the trees that the elves used instead. Aura believed that they could shadow one of the trails on the ground to go to a nearby elf village, but AInz asked that they stay for one night to get some more intel.

At night, Ainz returned to the city and located a home of an elf who lived alone. Using [Charm Species], the Sorcerer King had the elf under his spell and teleported him back to his camp. There he began questioning the elf on the location of the dark elf villages as well as the forest elves relationship with the dark elves. The elf answer his questions, stating that the dark elves were rarely seen kin and direct Ainz to the general direction. Next Ainz ask what the cause of the war between the elves and the Theocracy, but was only met by a profane spew of insults to the human nation which the elf believed was the aggressor. Having heard enough, Ainz cast [Control Amnesia] to erase the elf's memories and Mare induced the elf to sleep with [Sandman's Sand]. Ainz, Aura and Mare then took the elf back to his home. To make sure that the elf forgot his time with Ainz, the undead dropped a nearby idol of Tsungoga on the elf. Upon awakening the elf had no recollection of his meeting with Ainz, but believed that the blow to the head by the idol was a sign from the deity and thus began praying.

Ainz's party then set out to the dark elves, with Aura guiding them through the forest with Fenn acting as their mode of transportation. In an hour they managed to reach the Three Trees that marked the territory of the dark elves. But after some time, they were still unable to locate it, with Aura sensing they were close. To see if she could find the village on her own, Aura went out with Fenn to scout out the area. Whilst they were away, Ainz used Statue of Magical Beast - Cerberus to call upon a Cerberus to act as a guard for the camp while Fenn was away.

Unknown to Aura and Fenn they intruded onto the territory of the Ankyloursus Lord one of the bosses of the forest. When it detected them in its territory, it decided to approach them with the intent to intimidate them before killing them and storing away their meat. However Aura found the bear monster to be cute and wanted to make it into her pet for a little experiment. With little ease, the bear was hopelessly outmatched and beaten by Aura's attacks. The monster seeing that its "prey" was stronger than it tried to flee, but was stopped by Aura and Fenn. Aura then whipped the bear until he it understood that the only way to relieve the pain was to obey her.

It was brought back to the camp where Ainz was surprised by the new acquisition. While originally wary of Aura of keeping the creature, he changed his mind around dinner, as he found that it could serve a purpose in a plan he had to make Aura and Mare friends with the dark elves.

Mission: Red Ogre Cried
The team then relocated more south of the area where the Ankyloursus Lord had made its territory where a large village of dark elves was located. Along the way the team met several strong monsters and other ankyloursi which Aura killed so that they could not interfere in Ainz's plan for the village. The commotion was heard by the best ranger of the village named Blueberry Egnia who alerted the Master of the Hunt Apple and the other rangers, putting the settlement on high alert.

While the dark elves were unsure what was going on in the forest outside their village, they soon found the answer when the Ankyloursus Lord came out and began to approach the village. Knowing who the monster was the rangers realized that they had no chance in fighting it and tried to come up with plans to draw the ankyloursus away.

To their confusion the bear only attacked the elf trees, ignoring the dark elves in the tree, though it was apparent that it was aware of them but refrained from causing physical harm. Still the elves could not allow the bear to continue, especially when it turned to the plaza. Taking the initiative Egnia tried to scale the back of the ankyloursus to land a blow but was knocked down. On the ground and wounded the dark elf ranger expected that the bear would kill him, but to his shock it ignored him and resumed to whittle away at the trunks of the elf trees.

It was stopped when Aura appeared, her presence causing an obvious reaction of fear from the bear. It was driven off in a display when Aura used a arrow and bow to wound it. Her actions cemented her as a savior of the village creating the setting for the elves to be in debt to Aura and her associates.

Unknown to the elves, the attack on their village was all a show, orchestrated by Ainz. After the bear fled the village it joined Fenn in the forest who used his ability of [Forestwalker] to take the bear from the area.

Dark Elf Internal Division
Aura's ascent as a hero in the village did not proceed as expected, not only due to Aura not understanding that the purpose was to make friends, and mistakenly thinking that Ainz wanted to bring the elves to the Sorcerer Kingdom to rule over them. But because the village they were in was currently facing internal tension between factions over tradition and the young. Due to Aura's age and ability, her existence lionized many members of the Youth Faction, like Plum Ganen, that called to cast aside the elders traditional values of the Council of Elders in favor of a system that recognized superior ability as qualities of leadership. Such as thing was not expected by Aura and neither did she think Ainz anticipated this. Desiring to not be a pawn in either faction, Aura improvised and aimed to make her own faction with the elves during her stay before Ainz and Mare publicly arrived.

Infiltration & Misunderstandings
Three days after the village became familiar with Aura with most idolizing her, the young dark elf 'family' arrived. Ainz Oowl Gown using his magic to disguise himself as a dark elf introduced himself as Ain Bell Fior, the uncle of Aura and Mare. Upon his arrival Ain brought a plethora of gifts for the elves, which were composed of runecraft items made by the dwarve s in order to hopefully market the magic items in the Elf Country. While there was interest, many of the younger members of the Youth Faction were curious about Ain and if he could hold a candle to Aura's overwhelming strength. Though they were unable to make an accurate impression of him, as Ain was a wizard a profession they were not familiar with and not a ranger or druid as they expected. But were somewhat satisfied when Ain said it was a profession that specialized in eliminating enemies.

At this time, Ain was introduced to Blueberry Egnia. Unknown to Ain, Blueberry tried to ingratiate himself with the other dark elf, as he aimed to marry his niece. When Ain was introduced to the elders, thinking he understood how to speak in dark elf vernacular, gave the trio a flowery greeting using several plant-based words. Though it only confused the elders, as they had no inkling of what he was saying. Thinking that this was a standard greeting by the dark elves of the city, the elders did not want to be rude or reveal that the lacked skills in etiquette quickly accepted the greeting.
