After Blue Rose and the others left, Guelkyniv agitatedly ran a hand through his hair.
It was not as though he had never considered ceding a town to Ainz Ooal Gown to appease their anger.
However, he also knew perfectly well that wanting a town to found a nation was merely a pretext.
Once he opened that door, they would demand even more from him in the future.
Moreover, if they ceded land and recognized the other side's nation, how would the surrounding countries view the Baharuth Empire?
Driven into such a desperate situation, the Baharuth Empire could only find a way to save itself. Guelkyniv had even prepared himself mentally: even if the Empire fell, he could not allow its people to fall into Ainz Ooal Gown's hands!
In the eyes of people like Ainz Ooal Gown, humans were no different from livestock.
With how little regard they had for life, if the Empire's people fell into their hands, they would surely meet no good end.
With Blue Rose acting as his envoys in the Kingdom, what he needed to do now was quickly bring the Holy Kingdom and the Theocracy into the alliance as well.
Especially the Slane Theocracy. As a nation founded by the Six Gods, its foundation and strength were both remarkably formidable.
Furthermore, for all these years, they had been irreconcilable enemies with undead and other monsters, so it should not be too difficult to win them over.
As for the Holy Kingdom, Guelkyniv had originally intended to form an alliance through marriage. But since the Holy Princess had rejected him, he could only make the trip himself.
