Assassination Attempt on Gazef Stronoff

ガゼフ・ストロノーフ殺害計画

World & HistoryBattles & Events

Vol. 1, Year 1 after the transfer (June–July), evening of day 4: the Slane Theocracy had troops disguised as Imperial soldiers massacre villages to lure out Warrior Captain Gazef, so that the Sunlight Scripture could surround and kill him outside Carne Village; the plan failed when Ainz intervened.

The Theocracy had already decided to abandon the corrupt Kingdom and let the Baharuth Empire absorb it; "killing Gazef Stronoff" was the plan already underway when the story begins: troops disguised as Imperial knights raided villages around E-Rantel, and the Sunlight Scripture was to hunt him down
On the morning of day 4, the disguised soldiers attacked Carne Village but were crushed by the Death Knight Ainz had summoned, and about half the villagers survived; that evening Gazef arrived with his warrior troop, and the Sunlight Scripture promptly surrounded the village
Knowing it was a trap, Gazef set out anyway to draw the enemy; before leaving, he asked Ainz for help and to protect the villagers, and Ainz agreed, giving him a "strange carving"
Sunlight Scripture captain Nigun fought with angels empowered by his innate talent, "Strengthen Summoned Monsters," and nearly finished Gazef off; at death's door, Gazef was saved when the carving's power swapped him with Ainz, who then defeated the Sunlight Scripture himself
The warrior troop was not wiped out and was able to recover afterward (in E-Rantel, unverified); after returning to the capital, Gazef reported the Carne Village incident to the king and the nobles
At the time, the Black Scripture was on standby with Kaire, who was equipped with a World Item, in case the "Catastrophe Dragon Lord" revived, and took no part in this mission (it was ordered out only after the Miko Princess of Earth died); it is also said that Gazef was made to leave the Kingdom's five treasures in the capital and set out lightly equipped (unverified)

Notes

Japanese sources' assessment: Gazef "knew it was a trap set for him, yet leapt into danger for the people's sake." In the Web novel, Nigun had no orders to kill Gazef and so never came into contact with Ainz.
