The knights gathered in the courtyard just now were nowhere to be seen. It was truly a shocking conclusion.
“Good, they’re all dead! Now, if he doesn’t show himself soon, we’ll kill everyone in the city next… Since we don’t know which one’s the Emperor, we’ll just wreck this entire city and stop caring about anything! So come out, come out, Emperor, wherever you are!”
“Y-your Majesty!”
The trembling servants addressed him with pale faces.
“…I was about say that we stepped on a dragon’s tail, but in the end, the dragon came instead.”
Jircniv struggled to control his trembling. As an absolute being who wielded the authority of an Emperor, he could not afford to show fear in front of his subjects.
Ainz Ooal Gown… who is this person… … No, now is not the time to think about that.
Jircniv turned to the window and shouted.
“I, Emperor Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix, have something to say! Dear emissaries, would the two of you like to continue this discussion inside?” He then turned his head to his servants, “Prepare the finest welcome for our guests! With haste!”
As his servants hurriedly rushed out, he looked back to the dark elves.
…I underestimated them. However, if these are just subordinates… how can I not handle them? Even so, I can’t retreat here. If they want to negotiate, then we shall have a war of words. Ainz Ooal Gown, I will break your ambitions here!
