OVERLORD: The Sacred Kingdom (劇場版「オーバーロード」聖王国編)

The Roble Sacred Kingdom, lying on a peninsula to the southwest of the Re-Estize Kingdom.

Its territory is divided into northern and southern halves by a great gulf.

The borders of the Sacred Kingdom are guarded by a massive wall to protect against demihuman tribes in the bordering Abelion Hills.

An area also located near the Slain Theocracy.

It's a symbol of strength as well as the suffering they face at the hands of their neighbors.

Orlando, it's time to change shifts.

Where's your report?

My apologies, Sergeant Baraja.

My thoughts were elsewhere.

But there are no changes to report today.

I wish I could see as clearly in the dark as you can.

I'd love to join you on the Night Watch someday, sir.

My sharp eyesight was earned through training, you know.

You can achieve the same thing if you work hard enough.

I'd argue that it takes talent to get results like that.

A talent your daughter inherited, it seems.

I'm so proud of her.

She is gifted, if I do say so myself.

Although it's unfortunate that she's so dead set on becoming a paladin.

I'm sure that she simply wants to follow in her mother's footsteps, which I can hardly object to.

But she's no good when it comes to swordplay.

Her archery is excellent, however.

So if she needs a career role model, I sure wish she'd look to me.

Did you know she's still afraid of caterpillars?

What a silly little girl.

What is it?

Demihumans, there's no doubt.

Snakemen.

How many, sir?

It can't be a big deal.

Right?

They just keep piling up.

And it's not just snakemen, either.

This is bad news.

There's armats.

And ogres.

Are those caimans?

An invasion?

At this rate, we may need a national mobilization order.

I'll take your word for it, but I can't see much.

Have you spotted their leader yet?

I don't think so.

Surely a commander of a force that size would stick out.

Take positions, men.

And be prepared to fire.

I think you should return to your squad and wait for an update.

Good idea.

I'll get on that right now.

You be careful.

Should we shoot?

They're still too far, but it won't be too long, so listen close for my order.

I think I've spotted their leader.

Stop right there!

This is the territory of the Roble Sacred Kingdom!

Demi-humans like you aren't allowed to set foot here!

Disperse immediately!

Greetings, citizens of the Sacred Kingdom.

Allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Jaldabaoth.

You mean the Great Demon Jaldabaoth?

You know of me.

How flattering.

I am indeed the one who orchestrated the grand feast in Riesti's kingdom that was met with such rapturous applause.

However, if I must be given such a grandiose title, I would prefer to be called Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth.

I have a feeling that's not just bravado.

Getting to the point.

I've come here to make your kingdom a living hell.

Wails, maledictions, and cries of pain will echo without end.

It will become a carnival of suffering.

You think we would ever allow such a thing?

This is not simply the Sacred Kingdom's first line of defense.

It is the only one that is required!

This wall guarantees the peace of every last person who dwells behind it!

It shall not be shaken, even before you!

Let's find out, shall we?

Now, allow me to offer you a gift in return.

Tenth-tier magic, Meteor Fall!

Take your sword and drive it through your throat!

Get here a bit faster next time.

I have no further critiques, so please begin the attack.

Come, demons.

Your job is to support the demihumans.

Also, find an appropriate way to drive the humans from the stronghold.

You may kill some of them, but don't get carried away.

We need a few to escape.

Good.

Everything is proceeding according to plan.

That said, I'm sure the outcome my lord orchestrates will be far beyond even my wildest conjectures.

There is no greater joy than observing his genius in action, and no greater lesson in how better to serve him.

What more could I ask for in this world?

The End Grandmaster Remedios!

If you turn right once more from this street, you will reach the square where Jaldabaoth is waiting!

I see.

In that case, begin casting any long-lasting defense spells immediately.

Yes, ma'am!

Follow me!

Prepare yourselves, Jaldabaoth!

Take cover!

You'd better leave him to me!

Are you a paladin or a raging bull?

Perhaps my red tie provoked you.

Are you the one who calls himself the Demon Emperor?

Indeed.

And are you the princess who became sacred king?

Yes, I am none other.

Please, Princess Calca, there's no need to offer your name to this monster.

We've confirmed his identity and that's more than enough.

All that's left is to kill him.

Remedios, please, just give me a moment.

Sister, come on, show some patience.

Princess Calca's trying to gather information.

Tell me, what is your purpose in appearing before us alone?

If you want to conquer this country, why did you leave your army behind this time?

I assume that you've heard of the Adamantite-class adventurer, Momon of Darkness?

My plans for the Riesti's kingdom failed due to the efforts of that powerful warrior alone.

If there is anyone in this kingdom with strength on his level, then it's reasonable to assume that they would be guarding the sacred king.

Although it seems my concerns were without merit.

I had to check.

Those maids...

So this is the strongest paladin in the history of the Sacred Order?

How disappointing.

How dare you!

Try saying that again after I take off your head!

Control yourself!

You're just letting him provoke you!

Well, sacred princess, is there anything else you wanted to ask?

No, that is all.

The time's come.

Remember this, Remedios.

You are the sword that protects this land!

You are the justice that empowers the weak!

No matter what, we cannot allow further harm to come to our people!

Angel unit, forward!

Aaaah!

Flow Acceleration!

Holy Strike!

I see.

Casting Penetrate Magic, Holy Ray!

Casting Twin Penetrate Magic, Holy Ray!

The angels need to coordinate their attacks!

Stay focused!

That's good advice.

Even insects can be aggravating in a proper swarm.

Not enough!

You did it!

Not yet!

Destroy the building, but stay away!

Fireball!

You've proven yourself a nuisance.

It seems I'll have to put some effort into this battle.

Assuming you don't die from shock, that is.

Ready your angels!

All priests, attack at once!

Urgh!

Princess Calca!

Talar!

Maintain a safe distance!

You have to run away!

We can't defeat them!

At least not like this!

If they live, the kingdom lives.

That's enough.

Greater Teleportation!

Get away from her.

Princess Calca!

I don't sense the presence of any monsters.

Still, it may be safer to stay here a moment until the fog clears.

Would Dad wait?

Nehagaraha!

Uh, yes?

What in the world is happening here?

Can you explain this fog?

I'm afraid I can't, ma'am.

It defies all reason.

To start, there are no bodies of water nearby, so there shouldn't be such thick fog around here.

Since we don't know the cause, we should watch and wait...

for now.

You're utterly useless.

Don't blame her, Grandmaster.

Squire Baraja has been a tremendous help.

We were able to avoid the demi-humans who have overrun our kingdom thanks to her and her sharp eyes.

We owe our safe travels here to her.

That's not the point!

We can't afford to waste time, Gustav!

Every moment that we stall is another moment that our people are being oppressed and killed!

What is that?

But...

we're on land.

It can't be!

Is this some sort of illusion, or what?

Oh...

No mistaking it, this is the sorcerer kingdom of Ainz Ul'Gone.

What a repulsive statue, to think that monster is their king.

Your feelings aside, please remember that we're asking this kingdom for their help.

Momon of Darkness is the only one who can best Jaldabaoth.

If they won't lend his service to us, there's no hope.

We are at this undead's mercy.

I'm well aware of our situation, Gustav.

No humiliation is worse than failure.

I would do anything to save our home.
