Sorcerer Kingdom's Covert Invasion
Vol. 14, sometime in Years 3–5 after the transfer: the Sorcerer Kingdom formally opened hostilities a month after declaring war and, following Cocytus's strategy, advanced counterclockwise from the southeast to cut the Kingdom off from the Council State, using Marquis Raeven to block information; for a long time the Kingdom did not realize it had been invaded.
- It began with Philip's attack on the Sorcerer Kingdom's food convoy; Albedo declared war in the capital, setting hostilities for noon a month later
- The Sorcerer Kingdom adopted Cocytus's strategy, advancing counterclockwise from the southeast to secure the region between the Kingdom and the Argland Council State
- Marquis Raeven betrayed the Kingdom after his child was used as leverage (presumably beginning months before the war), and after hostilities began helped the Sorcerer Kingdom block information
- For two weeks to a month after the war began, the Guardians used the Kingdom's cities for siege experiments; the Kingdom never realized the Sorcerer Kingdom was advancing, and Ramposa III judged the declaration a mere threat and prepared to negotiate
- Pestonya and Nigredo petitioned Ainz to halt the operation, and Ainz agreed to deliberately let some escape; the Platinum Dragon Lord detected the invasion and told Azuth
- Only when news came from E-Naeurl did the capital learn the Sorcerer Kingdom had invaded, and Zanac promptly confined the King; at the same time, the Sorcerer Kingdom switched to striking west from E-Rantel straight at the capital
- Specific tactics included a city-taking operation planned by Shalltear in which frost dragons 500 m up dropped Soul Eaters to massacre cities; the claim of an Elder Lich unit bombing cities (unverified)
Notes
After the Kingdom's fall, Raeven was temporarily charged with administering his own domain, E-Raeburl; since the Sorcerer Kingdom has no peerage, Ainz simply calls him "Raeven".
