+ | After the [[Re-Estize Kingdom|Re-Estize Kingdom's]] [[New Faction]] [[Attack on the Sorcerer Kingdom's Transport|attacked one of their transports]], the [[Sorcerer Kingdom]] declared war on the nation and stated they would invade in one month. |
| ⚫ | In response, despite knowing they did not stand a chance, the Kingdom began preparing for war. However, this only applied for territories that were likely to be within the armies' path. On the other hand, regions that would likely only be effected by the time the [[Royal Capital]] had already fallen did not even bother to evacuate the civilians or build fortifications. |
||
| − | Given the difference in military might and unlikelihood of receiving foreign aid, since their nation technically instigated the war, the Kingdom's desperately tried to sue for peace. However, despite [[Ramposa III|King Ramposa III]] going as far as to attempt to offer up his own life to try to appease [[Ainz Ooal Gown|Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown]], the Sorcerer Kingdom's prime minister, [[Albedo]], merely stated that the war would proceed in one month. |
||
| ⚫ | However, unbeknownst to the Kingdom, the date the Sorcerer Kingdom had given for the start of their invasion was an elaborate ruse. While the Kingdom prepared, the Sorcerer Kingdom secretly marched their armies over the border and began invading those territories that thought themselves to be outside the line of fire. Like this, the Sorcerer Kingdom easily conquered the Kingdom's western and northern regions, cutting the nation off from its last remaining ally, the [[Argland Council State]], and isolating the Royal Capital. Then, they massacred all the inhabitants and halted the flow of information out of these regions, causing the Kingdom's leadership to have no idea that the Sorcerer Kingdom had already begun their invasion. |

Before this, however, news of the invasion had finally leaked out, when a noble escaped his territory just before the Sorcerer Kingdom attacked and made it to the port. Now knowing they were coming, the city began last-minute preparations. The city's overseer, [[Count Naüa]], called on multiple organizations for aid. A special [[Magic Caster Unit]] was formed and the city's strongest [[Adventurer]] group, [[Four Armaments]], was put in charge of the defenses.

Thus, to appease them, the monarch gave the citizens of E-Naüru a fighting chance only sending an army of low-ranking [[Undead]]. |

+ | Once the undead were within range, archers began to loosen their arrows on them and actually managed to take out a fair bit. After just three volleys, however, the Death Knight suddenly began rushing towards the city gate. In response, the leader of Four Armaments, [[Scama Elbero]], ordered the magic casters to use Fireball on it. Despite hitting it at point black range, however, the Death Knight didn't seem to have taken any damage and pressed on. Even though they continued hitting it with Fireballs, the Death Knight didn't even slow down and eventually reached the city gate, where the magic caster couldn't aim at it due to a bad angle. |
| − | Scama ordered the city defenders to direct their attention |
+ | As the Death Knight began ramming the city gate, Scama ordered the city defenders to direct their attention to it and the Death Warrior. In order to get the Death Knight back into the magic casters' line-of-sight, Scama, [[Lilynette Piani]], and her Four Armaments' magic caster faced the undead. However, not wanting to face such a powerful foe directly, they tried to fight it from a distance using the Lighting spell. Unfortunately, their attacks proved ineffective and the gate eventually gave way. |
| + | As the Death Knight entered the city, Scama prepared to face it in direct combat. However, despite her teammates and the city magic caster supporting her with buffs and spells, she quickly found herself on the defensive. Still, she continued fighting the Death Knight lest it might swift it's attention to the city, which would result in mass casualties. Scama attempted to lure the Death Knight to the city walls, where the magic caster would have a better shot at it when wails could be heard that the undead army was closing in. |
||
| − | The gate finally gave way after and crashed onto the ground and the undead stepped over the broken threshold, and moved towards the adventurers. Scama used her [[Ethereal Axe|tomahawk]] to create an ethereal copy of it to appear next to her. The undead responded by raising its shield high above its own head and smashed it down at the remains of the gate and moved to engage Scama. The gap between them was closed in an instant and it was planning to use its shield to crush her to death. She chose to use [Fortress] to halt the shield with her tomahawk. The Death Knight cleverly deflected the tomahawk with its shield, with the intent to break Scama’s stance. Scama finding the maneuver difficult, chose to give up resisting the undead's force, rolled to the side, and used the counter-acting force of that action to stand back up. Her ethereal axe swung from top to bottom but was deflected by undead's flamberge. At the same time, the undead charged towards Scama. |
||
| + | While the city defenders fought the approaching undead, Four Armaments continued their battle with the Death Knight. However, their attempts to harm and restrain it continued to prove ineffective and it was eventually joined by the arrival of the Death Knight. Seeing the situation as hopeless, Scama ordered her teammates to run. However, just then, the Death Knight's head was pierced by a bullet from the sky. |
||
| − | On the defensive again, Scama deflected attacks with her tomahawk and charged into her opponent. Her companions aided Scama using [Sunlight], creating a blinding flash of light from behind her to blind the enemy and to damage the undead. The flying caster sent out three bolts of light towards the undead with [Magic Arrow]. Despite receiving support, the undead's shield still blocked everything like it was a wall and left no openings for her to exploit. Even Scama hacked at it with her tomahawk but it was easily deflected. Seeing that the undead's movements were too clean and its proficiency with its shield was too high, Scama slowly backed off not only in fear but to allow the casters on the wall could have a clear shot at it. She couldn’t move too far away lest it ignored her and ran into the city. It was a scenario that needed to be avoided at all costs given how fast it can run. |
||
| + | Looking up the city defenders and remaining undead spotted a [[Armor of Reinforcement|flying armored giant]] with a gun. Quickly concluding it was their ally, Four Armaments moved away as the Death Warrior threw one of its swords at it. However, the armored giant just tanked the damage and then unloaded it's gun on the Death Warrior, killing it. |
||
| − | Just in case the thief on Scama’s team was waiting at the sideline specifically to catch up to the monster should it choose to run into the city. Scama slowly kited the Death Knight while paying attention to its every move. The undead did not appear to have noticed and followed at a distance. Just as they were about to bring it into the line of fire, wails could be heard from above the adventurers announcing that the other undead were coming at the city. While the city defenders attempted to defeat the approaching undead from the walls, Scama's group tried to eliminate the Death Knight. |
||
| + | Four Armaments concluded from the [[Adamantite]] metal around the armored giant's neck that it must be [[Azuth Aindra|a member of]] [[Red Drop]]. The floating armor then signaled the Adventurer Group goodbye and flew away. It was unknown what became of the remaining undead. However, with the defeat of the Death Knight and Warrior, they were presumably defeated soon after. |
||
| − | Scama stopped retreating and turned to face the Death Knight and darted towards it. Her tomahawk was easily blocked by the shield as was the ethereal copy. Her attacks were not enough to break down the undead’s defenses but the real attack was the [Magic Arrow] and [Shockwave] that followed by her comrades. The spell attacks were followed up by the rogue, who tossed a bottle towards the sides of the undead’s leg, causing it to be bound to the ground by the glue in bottle. Since the opponent was immobilized, Scama circled around to the undead's hand that did not hold the shield, the hand that held its sword, and began attacking. But the Death Knight swung its greatsword around, expertly parrying every hit that came its way. Even though its two legs were completely stuck on the ground and she had used martial arts to chain her attacks, Scama couldn’t land a single hit. The undead using brute strength to tear its foot away from the stone-tiled ground. Two more offensive spells were cast yet they still failed to bring it down. Soon the other undead, the Death Warrior, was standing at the gate. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | The thief who had been executing combos with Scama couldn’t handle the pressure and retreated to her side. The Death Warrior responded in kind and moved to the Shield-Bearer’s side. The adventurers soon realized that the undead were highly sapient and the Death Knight was merely toying with them just to instill despair in them to buy time for his partner to come. Both enemies were there, and while it was a good opportunity to use Area of Effect spells, they were never cast as it was feared that it would provoke the undead to initiate their attacks. |
||
| + | The citizens of [[E-Naüru]] hoped [[Red Drop]] would continue to participate in battles henceforth. They also believed that the [[Sorcerer Kingdom|Sorcerer Kingdom's]] invasion would soon end with this unexpected victory. |
||
| + | The Sorcerer Kingdom learned of the loss almost immediately, due to [[Ainz Ooal Gown]] sensing the destruction of the [[Death Knight]] and [[Death Warrior|Warrior]]. Fortunately, the Sorcerer King did not have to face any consequences for the loss, as the [[Floor Guardian]]s believed the reason why he send such a meager force was to draw out Red Drop. While the Floor Guardians suggested launching another attack, Ainz concluded they had already conquered enough territory and instead decided to focus on capturing the [[Royal Capital]]. This also gave the citizens of E-Nauru time to flee, which the Sorcerer King hoped would keep Nazarick's human sympathizers happy.<ref>''[[Overlord Volume 14]] Chapter 2: The Beginning of the End''</ref> |
||
| − | Seeing the hopeless situation, Scama ordered her friends to run while she and the thief bought them some time. However before anything, the Death Knight's head had been pierced by what looked like a long needle. The undead was confused by the attacks as were Four Armaments. Shifting their vision away from each other, they two opponents look towards where that attack originated from. Another attack pierced the Death Knight’s head causing its giant frame to crumble. Soon enough a silhouette of a man could be seen in the air—an armored giant with a strange crossbow weapon. |

||
| − | Because it had attacked the Death Knight, Four Armaments concluded that it was not their enemy, and slowly moved away from the Death Warrior. The battle between the Death Warrior and the strange interloper began. The undead threw one of its blades at the armored giant. The armored giant did not try to avoid it but tanked the hit with its own body and the blade bounced off it. The sword disappeared into the air, only to show up back in the Death Warrior’s hand. |

| − | The armored being in the air pointed its weapon at the undead and after a brief flash of fire and lightning, what used to be single-shot attacks turned into an uncountable amount of projectiles. Faced with the unknown projectiles, the undead swung its swords and tried slicing whatever that was being targeted at it into pieces. But there was a limit to it fend against and its two swords could deal with the dozens or even hundreds of projectiles. The tiny projectiles flew at shocking speeds and penetrated the enemy. In a matter of moments the undead ceased to exist. |

Lilyette believed it to be someone from [[Red Drop |Red Drop. ]]The floating armor soon turned its back to adventurer group, but Scama called out to it which it responded by turning around and raising up its left hand, straightened its index and middle finger, and pointed them towards its forehead. Bidding farewell, the armored giant flew away. Left even more confused, the group however was hopeful as they now knew that they had someone this strong. It was believed that perhaps the Sorcerer Kingdom’s invasion would come to an end. Even under the pretext that whoever the armored being was, it was willing to break the Adventurer’s Code and probably will continue participating in battles from this point onward.<ref>''[[Overlord Volume 14]] Chapter 2: The Beginning of the End''</ref> |

Battle of E-Naüru was a battle in the war between the Re-Estize Kingdom and the Sorcerer Kingdom. It was the first major battle of the conflict.
Background
After the Re-Estize Kingdom's New Faction attacked one of their transports, the Sorcerer Kingdom declared war on the nation and stated they would invade in one month.
In response, despite knowing they did not stand a chance, the Kingdom began preparing for war. However, this only applied for territories that were likely to be within the armies' path. On the other hand, regions that would likely only be effected by the time the Royal Capital had already fallen did not even bother to evacuate the civilians or build fortifications.
However, unbeknownst to the Kingdom, the date the Sorcerer Kingdom had given for the start of their invasion was an elaborate ruse. While the Kingdom prepared, the Sorcerer Kingdom secretly marched their armies over the border and began invading those territories that thought themselves to be outside the line of fire. Like this, the Sorcerer Kingdom easily conquered the Kingdom's western and northern regions, cutting the nation off from its last remaining ally, the Argland Council State, and isolating the Royal Capital. Then, they massacred all the inhabitants and halted the flow of information out of these regions, causing the Kingdom's leadership to have no idea that the Sorcerer Kingdom had already begun their invasion.
To complete their encirclement, the Sorcerer Kingdom targeted the port city of E-Naüru. Before this, however, news of the invasion had finally leaked out, when a noble escaped his territory just before the Sorcerer Kingdom attacked and made it to the port. Now knowing they were coming, the city began last-minute preparations. The city's overseer, Count Naüa, called on multiple organizations for aid. A special Magic Caster Unit was formed and the city's strongest Adventurer group, Four Armaments, was put in charge of the defenses. An evacuation order was also given, though most citizens had nowhere to go and thus choose to stay.
On the Sorcerer Kingdom's side; before the battle, Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown was confronted by Nazarick's human sympathizers, who pleaded with him to stop the slaughter of innocent civilians. Thus, to appease them, the monarch gave the citizens of E-Naüru a fighting chance only sending an army of low-ranking Undead.
Battle
E-Naüru's defenders saw that the Sorcerer Kingdom's forces were mostly low-ranking Undead. Two stuck out though: a Death Knight and Death Warrior. Since both of them were close-quarter combatants, Four Armaments decided that the best strategy was a long-range battle. However, arrows were unlikely to do much to the Death Knight and Warrior. This meant they would eventually have to engage them in close-quarters, in which case, the amount of damage they could inflict before they penetrated the city would decide the battle.
Once the undead were within range, archers began to loosen their arrows on them and actually managed to take out a fair bit. After just three volleys, however, the Death Knight suddenly began rushing towards the city gate. In response, the leader of Four Armaments, Scama Elbero, ordered the magic casters to use Fireball on it. Despite hitting it at point black range, however, the Death Knight didn't seem to have taken any damage and pressed on. Even though they continued hitting it with Fireballs, the Death Knight didn't even slow down and eventually reached the city gate, where the magic caster couldn't aim at it due to a bad angle.
As the Death Knight began ramming the city gate, Scama ordered the city defenders to direct their attention to it and the Death Warrior. In order to get the Death Knight back into the magic casters' line-of-sight, Scama, Lilynette Piani, and her Four Armaments' magic caster faced the undead. However, not wanting to face such a powerful foe directly, they tried to fight it from a distance using the Lighting spell. Unfortunately, their attacks proved ineffective and the gate eventually gave way.
As the Death Knight entered the city, Scama prepared to face it in direct combat. However, despite her teammates and the city magic caster supporting her with buffs and spells, she quickly found herself on the defensive. Still, she continued fighting the Death Knight lest it might swift it's attention to the city, which would result in mass casualties. Scama attempted to lure the Death Knight to the city walls, where the magic caster would have a better shot at it when wails could be heard that the undead army was closing in.
While the city defenders fought the approaching undead, Four Armaments continued their battle with the Death Knight. However, their attempts to harm and restrain it continued to prove ineffective and it was eventually joined by the arrival of the Death Knight. Seeing the situation as hopeless, Scama ordered her teammates to run. However, just then, the Death Knight's head was pierced by a bullet from the sky.
Looking up the city defenders and remaining undead spotted a flying armored giant with a gun. Quickly concluding it was their ally, Four Armaments moved away as the Death Warrior threw one of its swords at it. However, the armored giant just tanked the damage and then unloaded it's gun on the Death Warrior, killing it.
Four Armaments concluded from the Adamantite metal around the armored giant's neck that it must be a member of Red Drop. The floating armor then signaled the Adventurer Group goodbye and flew away. It was unknown what became of the remaining undead. However, with the defeat of the Death Knight and Warrior, they were presumably defeated soon after.
Aftermath
The citizens of E-Naüru hoped Red Drop would continue to participate in battles henceforth. They also believed that the Sorcerer Kingdom's invasion would soon end with this unexpected victory.
The Sorcerer Kingdom learned of the loss almost immediately, due to Ainz Ooal Gown sensing the destruction of the Death Knight and Warrior. Fortunately, the Sorcerer King did not have to face any consequences for the loss, as the Floor Guardians believed the reason why he send such a meager force was to draw out Red Drop. While the Floor Guardians suggested launching another attack, Ainz concluded they had already conquered enough territory and instead decided to focus on capturing the Royal Capital. This also gave the citizens of E-Nauru time to flee, which the Sorcerer King hoped would keep Nazarick's human sympathizers happy.[1]
On the Re-Estize Kingdom's side; following the battle, they finally learned of the Sorcerer Kingdom's covert invasion. Despite the Sorcerer Kingdom's actions though, King Ramposa III remained steadfast in that diplomacy was the Kingdom's best option. However, Crown Prince Zanac, unable to accept the Sorcerer Kingdom's barbarity, disagreed and proceeded to stage a coup d'état.[2]
Although the actions of the Red Drop member, Azuth Aindra, saved E-Naüru, it would actually cost the Kingdom in the long run. The priorly unknown threat of Azuth caused the Sorcerer Kingdom to increase security by having a body double take Ainz' place on the battlefield. This in turn would later end up ruining Tsaindorcus Vaision's assassination attempt.[3]
