Woooooooo yeah new chapter baby that's what I've been waiting for that's it's all about wooooooo

Fluent

That was really cool, I really like that spell. Is it something like the one they used on Cure Elim to get his leg stuck or something new?

Anon7274

You mean crack in the ground?

Fluent

Yeah, I wonder if it was a whirlpool spell, or just like the one Ainz used on Cure Elim

Trlx

Great new chapter, thanks!!

As a professional naval architect and naval nerd, not bad on the battle scene. Fleet actions are always hard to write, most authors sticking to a single person's perspective during them and a limited view rather than the more complete depictions of battles between small numbers. I am a bit curious about what the composition of the Holy Kingdom fleet actually looked like with some of the ship classes you called out - I would typically expect cogs, galleys, and longships pre-gunpowder, and very limited capability to sink another ship with ranged weapons (even early cannons struggled hard with that). Magic definitely adds an interesting dynamic! Also commandeering merchant ships during war time would probably be pretty standard and mostly tolerated by the merchant owners. The crown would be compensating them for the use and any lost vessels - maybe not as much as they would make from normal merchant business, but that's just a risk you ran as a merchant back then. As for the earlier intrigue portion, kinda neat? I like other characters' perspectives on Satoru and the hints about what went on elsewhere, but being too scared to interact with him is a bit disappointing even if it does make sense.

ZeroSenpai Writer

Name is gonna be revealed, but don't expect anything glorious, it's just a detail, but yeah, using the one Satoru used on Cure Elim would have been cool, but i think it is too high tier to be contained in a scroll

ZeroSenpai Writer

Give the twins time, they are gonna get bribed with sweets very soon... XD Thanks for the tips on naval stuff, did i write the name wrong? You said galleys, but i search up and found galleons as a translation to the word in my language. As for a formation, i might do one when i have a little more time

Martian

Roman ahh Solution, when you're better at fighting land battles, turn the naval battles into land battles

Roguewave1737

Depends on which one you're talking about - the ships in medieval times with lots of oars, built for ramming and with a huge range of size and armament are galleys. Galleons are the Spanish and Portuguese ships from the 1500-1600's that were massive, used sails and never/rarely oars, and weren't made for ramming, more famously as ships for trade and carrying treasure. They were effective in war as well because they were armed, some even developed for it specifically, but that was because they carried a lot of cannons. As for 'armored battleships', I can only picture ships from the World Wars or maybe an ironclad from something like the American Civil War

Funnily enough, there aren’t a lot of water based spells in overlord. Considering that Satoru has over 700 spells at his disposal and we haven’t seen even half of those spells in his arsenal, it gives writers the opportunity to make up there own.

Amazing chaper as always ^^ gotta love whenever we get new characters first experiences with Satoru This is gonna be a bit random and off topic but i just wanted to share since she's starting to show up and i'm pretty disappointed with how most people portray her. A lot of people seem to think that Neia is supposed to be just an angsty teen or a teenager stereotype, however i don't think that's the intention behind her at all. It's true that as an individual she's a bit one dimensional but that's because she's more of a stand in for a type of people, she's an Atheist in a religious community and she arc is trying to show how quickly someone who's been taught to believe for their whole life can end up clinging to something tangible. She didn't become the number1 Ainz fangirl because she's so quirky and relatable but because faith has been drilled into her for all her life and where she has non for the intangible he is as close to a living god as she'll ever encounter. besically she and her people are the aimless and self hating and he's drugs. sorry that was a needless rant >w>

BattleRaptor

While the naval fight was well written (well done, doing that is not easy), I'm more interested in Tira's "talent" and "needing someone's skin". With those clues, I'm going to now bet that Kelart adjuntant is Tira and she's using the poor sod skin to be the enemy within. Either way, I'm looking forward to how it will all play out. Great job as always.

Mike

Definitely. And she a masochists, Satoru just attracts the very best women.

Mike

The navel battle scene was EPIC. Was that an earthquake scroll used in a deep water area? Man, here's hoping the resulting tidal wave isn't too bad. Also, I honestly didn't think you were a total war player too. Looking forward to next chapter, also as a side note, glad to see so many of us correctly guessed last chapter. 😀

Max Heslip

Thanks a ton for the chapter! I'm gonna assume that frost dragon skin or perhaps even false dragon lord materials were used in creating that (mid tier?) scroll at the end. I doubt it was too high of a tier, but definitely better than what Satoru has been using so far. The navel battle by the way was well done, with it showing the strength of the Holy Kingdom's navy, while also contrasting it well with the tricks/magic used by the Re-Estize kingdom. The twins section really does help at understanding the bigger picture better mainly that Satoru is actively working with Slain on what Renner negotiated with them a bit ago. Another of the things I really like though is that your able to introduce some cool talents that are really versatile rather than just plain powerful. Based on the twins section we can assume their older sister has the ability to wear people skins and basically appear as them. How deep this ability goes is unknown, but even at its weakest where is only mimics appearance and wouldn't fool analysis magic its still a really cool ability.

I dare say it’s more fun at times seeing Satoru have to interact with NW’ers whereas with Nazarick it effectively acts as his hands in a lot of scenarios thematically it serves to reinforce the “Ainz” personality of being the idealized overlord but at times I desperately wish we had more scenes similar to Ainz with Ainsack, Neia, or Gondo Firebeard While I enjoy the NPC’s at times in terms of how Maruyama really conveyed how many players nested things like fetishes, desires, or their own projected ideals and sense of aesthetics into their NPC’s Demiurge reflects Ulberts Misanthropic romantic idea of evil Sebas reflects Touch-Sans idea of justice And in that way they act as certain placeholders of who Momonga’s friends were while also reinforcing the sense of isolation in their obedience But they are also somewhat predicatable narratively even if they are amusing idiosyncrasies arguably the most interesting NPC is Albedo in how she was altered which creates a conflict but that ends up being more a subplot of the story tbh They’re colorful personalities but I sometimes feel they nerf some interesting potential of the story Mare vs Zesshi was a fun fight to read in terms of buildup but Mare himself was not that interesting there were some things like the heterochromia that befuddled Zesshi initially paired with Zesshi’s skills that paralleled Shalltear and Ainz’s fight in Volume 3 that put Mare on guard against her but other than that idk I feel like I’m speaking Overlord heresy right now tbh Suffice to say I enjoy Satoru actually vegging to be the forefront instead of Ainz and I think Maruyama himself wanted to explore that with the Side Story he wrote that deliberately excludes Nazarick wholesale

Papa Bones is so endearing, soon the triplets will become hardcore fangirls. BTW.. the giggling girl sounds like Evil Eye... It seems Satoru is getting the Blue rose.. Minus Gagaran.. she can go with Osk.. the Baharut empire merchant.. What is that spell? I Thought Satoru was going to send a summon Kraken.. Perhaps a Black hole?

Jack Lu

lmao but where was this shown? That Tira was a masochist I mean. And what exactly was her punishment?

Jack Lu

what exactly were the sweets that Satoru gave them in this chapter?

Jack Lu

So excited to see the uploads resume! Just one small potential inconsistency with the naval battle: since the Holy Kingdom has well engrained angel use in their battle doctrine (you've even used Karliha to comment on how their use was an advantage in naval combat, implying imo that the Holy Navy is well versed in their use same), I feel one would expect there to be some angel summons flying overhead on overwatch, at least for the flagship, such that Gazef would not have been able to get the drop on Karliha to the extent that he did in this chapter. At least I feel for maximum realism Karliha would have been alerted to the incoming warrior troop when they first came into contact with the angels on 'guard duty' in the 'airspace' of the Holy Crown. The end result can still be the same, Gazef's assault being unexpected and the angels being insufficient in number (since no one anticipated this type of aerial alpha -strike) are quickly overwhelmed, the Holy Crown boarded and forfeit. As is, to have it set up that angels feature prominently in the Holy Navy in one scene and then have them conspicuously absent around the flag ship of all ships in the next feels a bit disjointed to me. TW reference BASED AF tho :D, warrior troop coming in with the steel chair like doom knights of Tzeench!!! So nice to see the troop actually making a difference and showing up as the elite units they are in NW terms (Gazef Mogged Karliha so hard lol).

Roberto C

In regards to the battle, I liked it.. I wonder who made that 4 steps strategy.. Though i guess the 4th step, was just Satoru giving a little gift to the surviving Holy Kingdom fleet. 'Satoru sends his regards'. that bit had the vibes of the Rains of Castermere.. It gave me goozebumps. Perhaps it was Rener's plan, or one of the seven hand's guys, perhaps a former Pirate captain. OR Perhaps Satoru himself, after all Ainz Oak Gown might have had some naval warfare using summons as proxys.. or perhaps Satoru had heard Punito Moe talk about warfare, or reas a book on the matter.. 1st step: Casting silence (via scrolls most likely) using a starless night and fake lights as decoy, to smuggle a dozen battleships to sneak attack the bigger fleet (7 hands doing most likely) 2. Countering the Angels with tons of magic.. Thief classes most likely so they can cheat and flood the battlefield with scrolls (Again 7 hands) 3. Gazef and this elite troop, boarding the Enemy's mightiest ship, using the previous steps as decoys, nobody would search in thr blackest sky while they are surrounded by enemies 4. Satoru's gift was priceless Jack Lu: Summoning angels costs a lot of Mana and the time the summons remain is limited.. using angels to guard 24/7 would be a waste of Mana. Priests are implied to be rare comodities in the Holy kingdom fleet, or else they would be used to the limitations of being onboard for long periods of time and they wouldn't be so moody. Also, the Holy Kingdom's fleet were severely ubderstimating the Re-Estize fleet.. And they had reasons to do so.. Re-Estize only had 20-25 ships, half of those were merchant's ships not meant for naval warfare, Re-Estize didn't have experience in naval warfare, while the Holy Kingdom's fleet practiced a lot outsmarting pirates for decades. Another thing is that both, priests and paladins are too straightforward (Book 12-13) they oversee schemes or cunning tactics.. So in naval warfare, they might have left the tactics to the sailors

Anniversary already? Well time sure passed real quick lol

I think she is pretty much a blank canvas ready to be painted, like most teenagers are, if i think back at when i was 16-18 i realize how little i understood of the world due to lack of many experiences that would shake me as a person. I think Neia’s case is even worse due to her lack of self-esteem and feeling underserving of even staying in the large shadows of her parents. She is very much developing as a person, and as every teen, is easily influenced by the ones around her

ZeroSenpai Writer

I like to watch total war gameplays, unfortunately, with my visual disability i wouldn’t be able to check all the things on the screen during a battle. So, while i love the game, i unfortunately can’t play them

Mike

You know what. I think you're right. Zero never did mention what the punishment was.

Mike

It's funny you say that because I have AdditionalStupidity's Peasants only campaign playing right now.

ZeroSenpai Writer

NPCs are unfortunately very limited by design, their range of emotion is basically awe at Ainz to hate everything outside Nazarick, with a few exceptions, you can go only so far with that before it gets repetitive, at least compared to normal people who have a more complex belief system and range of emotions, and consequently potential for development

ZeroSenpai Writer

Gonna reveal the name a bit later, but nothing too fancy, i don’t think anyone was giggling? Not gonna lie, you have me a bit lost here, can you elaborate?

ZeroSenpai Writer

I admit it didn’t come to my mind, but just to offer a rebuttal for the fun of it, the Holy kingdom was pressed for time in that moment and so they sent all their angel in hope if defeating the Re-Estize’s fleet before the other half could reach them. After all Karliha said it herself that her move was a bold one that would expose the Holy Crown.

Roberto C

When the 1st seat, Aka the godkin greeted a "miss", one of the triplets heard a feminine answer from thr shadows.. That meant a higher invisibiltiy spell or transformation into cloud/shadow (Vampire stuff) I intérpreted that as giggling. Perhaps it was just "Hn" (Like those Sasuke used back in Team 7)

ZeroSenpai Writer

Ah, maybe i wrote the scene wrong, Satoru was the one who greeted someone in the shadows, and the one he greeted was the only member of the Black Scriptue he interacted with, the 11th seat, who squirmed due to the circumstances of their last meeting.

KuroGFX

In many ways I guess you could call the NPC’s the ultimate monolithic zealots they never waver in their awe and devotion such that it can be like you said limiting and at most it’s interesting to see such entities interact with the more human characters in the New World even then it becomes predictable since based on character sheets their morality is set in stone Demiurge will be extremely sadistic towards mortals or anyone outside Nazarick Mare and Aura are apathetic towards most outside Nazarick and won’t feel much if they were told to kill them I guess you could say what makes humans more interesting is that our stats and sense of morals aren’t set in stone like a character in DnD

ok so if the line from Tina about Taira having some sort of skin-changing American skin walker talent along with the fact that we now know that the fire was not started by the holy kingdom assassin then tht men's that that man who returned to the holy kingdom was probably Taira in disguise. Although that is done leaves us with a small problem: we now do not know what the hell happened in Re-estys and how the whole Satoru disappearance happened before with the explanation of the "not" holy kingdom assassin we where told the tale on how the assassination happened and have a veg idea how Satoru could have faked his death. Now, however, with us knowing that was all fake, we are left back at square one on how Satur managed to pull a disappearing act that even tricked Renner into thinking he was dead or injured or just gone and she has no clue as to where he went. So now I have a question, Will we ever get to know the details on how Satoru managed to escape and disappear in such a way that she does not even know where he is?

Blackjack

Also, was the naval battle an easter egg on how the war is going to go? In the naval battle, there were three galleons named after the three pillars of the holy kingdom. The one representing the queen was captured by the warrior troop, then the princess was destroyed and I can assume that the paladin was also destroyed. My question is this how the coming war will hash out. Calca getting captured like the ship name after her, while the two sisters get killed in battle? Honestly, that would be a good bit of foreshadowing, which I would very much applaud, but at the same time, I hope that is not the case. I really want the three of them to survive this war, unlike they did in canon. I only have a vague idea on how that could be made possible with King Ramposa desperately wanting the Kelart head, but I still hope that what happens. Maybe after they win the war and Kelart's head gets put on a spike, Satoru recovers her body and tests resurrection magic on her. Then has her, her sister and the former queen Calca all working for him in eight arms? I don't know I am just desperate to have the three of them survive. hell I even go for Satoru doing his experiment of how holy magic works on the three of them and using memory-altering magic to make the three of them think and worship him as a god to see if they could then still use their holy magic.

ZeroSenpai Writer

By the end of the arc, you will have all the answers you need, apart maybe from one i have to decide if i still wantto keep vague for the future

Jack Lu

ngl if papa bones manage to turn all three into fangirls he'd be the goat fr (which he already is, so expecting to see the 'Holy Trinity' falling crazy-style for our Marquis ;)

Anon7274

Unless he saves the holy kingdom from a false attack in the holy kingdom like he did in canon. Then he can bring a quicker end to the war and be seen as an even more prominent individual. After all, we still don’t know what he’s planning with the theocracy.

Blackjack

I know this is very soon, but after reading this chapter, I can't wait to for the next chapter to come out, so I want to ask when do you think the next chapter will come out? I'm sorry, but I am just really excited for more.

ZeroSenpai Writer

Eh, with the special on its way, i think around the end of the month

BattleRaptor

We'll probably hear about it when there's a Tira pov

After finding this series and binge reading it it took me about 4 days I can say I am quite happy with this being the first time I’ve subscribed to someone on Patreon the whole series has been a fantastic read and I can’t wait to read the next chapter

ZeroSenpai Writer

Wow, i am flattered, thank you for your kind words! I will strive to keep bettering my writing!
