Summoner Of Death

Chapter 6

Ainz felt disappointed though the emotion wasn't strong enough to be suppressed it still left him a bit morose. He contemplated why these emotions had arisen as they rode back to the academy. Guiche had yet again fallen asleep and Colbert was currently holding the reigns, which left Ainz with little in the way of distractions.

Overall things had technically gone well on there trip to the city, he had cemented Guiches admiration and word of his runic blade was sure to reach his father's ears. He had dominated a group of vampires that were a treasure trove of information. Colbert had gotten the necessary ingredients for the ritual, there was a possibility of him returning home. Yet despite this, his spirits could not be lifted...

The problem Ainz mused was that everything had gone well, too well. After his discussion with Lorraine, he had been confident the vampires lacked the means to harm him. Though that's not to say he hadn't set up a few contingency plans, in case the elder vampires had a hidden trump card.

Lorraine had explained the basic layout of the mausoleum and after some light reconnaissance, Ainz had created a stratgy that he was rather proud of. He had left a group of elder liches on the surface, had he felt threatened he would mentally command the elder Liches to create a large explosion to collapse the central chamber. In the destruction Ainz would fly to the ceiling and reactivate {perfect unknowable} from there he would have attempted to teleport out.

Of course, if his teleportation was blocked he would have flown above the fighting death knights and vampires towards the exits. Failing that he had a few other backup plans but many of them would cost one-time use items and he had no wish to expend such valuable resources unless he had to.

Yet as so often seemed to happen with his backup plans it was unnecessary. The elder vampires were as weak as his conversation with Lorraine had led him to believe. He was looking forward to future interactions with the elder vampires, their ancient knowledge would be incredibly useful to him. Hopefully, they could give a less...Bias historical report, perhaps they even knew why the elves were so driven to hold the holy lands.

Pushing aside the wild thoughts Ainz contemplated his plans for the vampiric race, he had left the group of elder liches to direct them. They were currently moving to a location closer to the school grounds, an abandoned graveyard that had been forgotten by time. While Ainz could teleport back between the mausoleum at will it would be beneficial for the vampires to be closer allowing them to reach him more swiftly.

This world seemed to lack any spells like {Message}, meaning communication over long distances was far more difficult for the inhabitants of this world. While Ainz could always use {message} to reach them they had no means to reach him in an emergency. while the liches would be of great help, the fact remained being closer would save quite a bit of unnecessary effort.

He had given specific orders to the vampires that they were not to harm any humans and await his orders. He had no doubt there would be some rebellion among the vampires but with an elder under his undead domination effect, he doubted they would cause any large problems. He had already given the order to the elder to kill any who refused to follow the herd. It would take a few days for the vampires to fully settle into their new location, only after they did so would Ainz solve their nutritional problems.

With a small smirk, Ainz refocused on the world around him looking out the window to the forest surrounding the roads, it was approaching midday. The cloud cover gave the world a gloomy aspect, it seemed it would begin to rain soon. Ainz wondered if he should offer to change the weather to ensure they weren't delayed... Ultimately he concluded such an action would draw too much attention if the weather truly got to rough he would pull Colbert from the front of the cart and allow the horse to guide the carriage.
