Jerky doesn't need to use the people in his country. He can actually stir the people up in different countries instead. One, it helps to keep up the facade of the alliance alive and well. Two, the news of how Ainz single-handedly decimated a rival army with summoned monstrosity would have dealt a huge blow on the people's morale and that would make the people more afraid should they got wind of Ainz approaching, even if it's false. Fear can play a huge part in urging panic and having a powerful undead living just next door is not exactly the everyday norm most people would want to have.

Actually, given Jerky's history in governing, he may have already started to collect information on Slane's reluctance to send in armies to Katze Plains. He may not know the damage dealt but he may have an inkling that Slane is actually afraid for once.

Demiurge has already flat out exposed Jerky's intentions after he left. If Ainz still wants to play up on his little "great overlord" facade, he would simply leave Jerky's little attempts be and counter them using his own little machinations. That's pretty much the general premise of the WN Ainz's actions except the WN Ainz has a more direct intervention in public appearance than the LN Ainz who would rather stay in the dark as long as he can. We need to see just how the author would try to depict Ainz in volume 10. Ainz needs to step up into the spotlight for once and the actions taken by other countries would be quite interesting indeed.
