== Background == === Previous Wars === After ascending the throne of the Baharuth Empire, [[Jircniv Rune Farlord El-Nix|Emperor Jircniv's]] main goal was to create a great empire that would survive the test of time. To this end, he set out to conquer the neighboring Re-Estize Kingdom. [[File:Overlord II EP01 037.png|thumb|250px|[[Re-Estize Kingdom|Re-Estize]] nobles downplaying the war]] However, rather than declare all-out war on the Kingdom, the Empire instead chose to engage them in small territorial skirmishes at the [[Katze Plains]] every year. These skirmishes mostly followed the same pattern: The [[Imperial Army]] would engage the [[Royal Army]], there would to a short scuffle, and then the Imperial Army would retreat. Because of this, the Kingdom's nobles viewed the Annual Wars as nothing more than a "parade." The Empire's true aim with these skirmishes was to slowly weaken the Kingdom while waiting for an opportunity to conquer them with minimal losses. While the Empire used career soldiers, the Kingdom relied on draftees. Thus, by invading during harvest seasons, [[Farmer|farmers]] would be separated from their fields, causing crop failures that would eventually result in famine. By the time the Kingdom realized this, it had already fallen into decline. Furthermore, many of the Kingdom's nobles failed to realize the true gravity of the situation.<ref>''[[Overlord Volume 09]] Chapter 2: Preparations for the Battle''</ref> === Workers Invasion Aftermath === [[File:Overlord III EP09 063.png|thumb|left|250px|[[Baharuth Empire|The Empire]] and [[Nazarick]] forge an alliance]] Following the [[Workers Invasion]], Emperor Jircniv was forced to travel to [[Great Tomb of Nazarick|Nazarick]] and apologize to its ruler, [[Ainz Ooal Gown]].<ref>''[[Overlord Volume 09]] Prologue''</ref> Desperate to avoid war upon learning of the tomb's strength, the Emperor proposed an alliance to aid them in claiming the city of [[E-Rantel]], which Ainz accepted. Afterward, the Emperor realized that Ainz had caused the [[worker]]s Invasion to arrange this meeting. Knowing the Empire couldn't defeat Nazarick alone, the Emperor began making plans to form an [[Anti-Sorcerer Kingdom Alliance|alliance]] with the surrounding nations against the tomb. To show the other nations of the danger Ainz posed, the Emperor intended to have him fight and unveil his power during the Annual War. While the Emperor believed Ainz was a mastermind, it was actually [[Demiurge]]'s plan to declare Nazarick's existence to [[New World|the world]]. However, Ainz had not been informed that the goal was to declare war on the Empire, causing him to agree to the Emperor's alliance. While the [[Floor Guardian]]s were initially confused as to their master's intentions, Demiurge assumed he was using the Empire to gain legitimacy and quickly convinced his fellow Guardians of the advantages of this.<ref>''[[Overlord Volume 09]] Chapter 1: A War of Words''</ref> [[File:Overlord III EP10 004.png|thumb|250px|The Kingdom receives the declaration of war]] A short while later, an envoy was sent to the Kingdom, demanding they cede E-Rantel to the newly founded Sorcerer Kingdom. However, the Kingdom dismissed it as a mere Casus Belli and proceeded to declare war on both the Sorcerer Kingdom and the Empire. After the [[Demonic Disturbance]], the Kingdom was now determined to strike a decisive blow against the Empire and send an army of 245,000 strong to the Katze Plains while [[Barbro Andrean Ield Ryle Vaiself|Crown Prince Barbro]] led a smaller force of 5,000 strong to [[Carne Village]] to gather information on Ainz.
