Ainz and his companion watched as the battle continued. At first he arrived to fulfill the promise of his long time friend of Touchme. Not really knowing if he actually knows his real name but it doesn't matter. Finding someone like him but what are his true intentions he wondered. Is he here for conquest and how close he is from his home? It couldn't be far from his location. Kroq-gar was doing the same as both were contemplating after exchanging their greetings finding the demon next to him be named Albedo.

Looking down on all them with contempt like all of their kind do. Both groups said nothing for the seconds thinking they were playing a game of mental chess with each other trying to figure out how to gather as much information as possible. The two staring at each other were playing a mental chess game but both moved their pawns once and just came up with blanks on how to best start this conversation. They would have been there for about an hour until one of the newly designated villager chiefs came up to them panting a bit from having a close call of getting his head chopped off and looked at the two groups saying nothing to each other.

Chief: Um, excuse me sirs, why did you come here?

The two took a glance at the chief leader as well as the seconds did then went back to their staring contest. Ainz and Kroq-gar were tapping their fingers on the mental chest game they were having before Ainz got up from the chair and left. Leaving Kroq-gar to have the honor to speak for he saved the village. Kroq-gar nodded and turned to the chief looking a bit ragged and some cuts he could live with.

Kroq-gar: I have come to this village because my scouts have spotted raiders coming to pillage the land, I will not stand idly by as your village becomes another mark of conquest

The villagers gathering around the two groups looked at each other and nodded. Content with his answer of coming to their aid. All looked at the giant man who walked forward to address himself.

Ainz: As well as I, I could not stand by and watch innocent people be murdered, call it a "moral obligation"

Kroq-gar looked at Ainz as he did his. Kroq-gar found truth in his words but when the word moral obligation came up. He had a hint of fulfilling a promise to someone. Ainz in turn picked through Kroq-gars words as he was also telling the truth but why use marks of conquest rather than a pillaging run. Both hmpth at that. Each has their secrets. Ainz decided to be the one leading the conversation.

Ainz: Be at ease, this village is under my protection, you no longer need to be scared

Kroq-gar raised a scale brow at that as he was the one doing the work but it looked like he was trying to be genuine with his words. Walking to the villagers as he held his hands out to calm them down but his sheer size and stature of being an unknown man claiming to be their savior scared them for a bit. Shrinking back as this might be a scheme or plot just like the Re-Estate and Baramuth empires. Ainz was about to say something but Kroq-gar raised his metal gauntlet using the reinvigorating effects of a portable solar engine. A yellow crystal blessed and crystalized by the winds of magic. All watching the villagers' colors returning to their eyes and skins. Feeling more energetic but their wounds remain. At least they won't be limping home and all turned to Kroq-gar who put away the solar engine.

Kroq-gar: Relax, my friends, we mean you no harm, both of us wish to see this village safe under our care, I did my part and I shall leave the second part to him

The villagers focused on his words and noticed this lizard...men...lizardmen helped them get rid of the raiders that were attacking this village. If he trusts him then they should too. Both smiling and moving to get rid of the wreckage and wounded to be patched up. Kroq-gar and Ainz looked at each other for a moment. Ainz managed to figure out that it's his turn to protect the village along with Kroq-gar having some magical artifacts at his disposal. Scratching his chin as he watched as the chief was talking about how they should discuss things at his hut. Ainz nodded, muttering to himself before following along as the others went ahead.
