It was necessary.....

This is actually an excellent example of doing unsavory things to save your civilization. Your enemies will weaponize your morals against you if you let them. Harden your heart or be destroyed.

The kids would be dead anyway if the demi-humans succeeded. Getting shot with an arrow would be the more merciful outcome.

This is called weaponizing your morals. When your enemies use cruel methods like this, your best strategy is to fire everything at them and beg God to be quick and merciful.

She loves Ainz

mf was aiming for the child lmao

this movie made me lose all respect for Ainz as a character he was talking about some "you didn't protect your child" bs like bro these are your soldiers, this is all your fault

It was sure nice of Ainz to teach these people about strength when it was his own weakness and fear of rejection that inadvertently caused the crisis in the first place.

I love Neia so much, but she's so spiritually israeli it hurts

Yes. The lesson here is simple: you do what you can. You have the power to save those hostages? No. So save what you can. You cut the hand to save the body. You also save more people in the long run; if hostages don't work, the enemy stops using them.

Goblin Slayer did it better

En la novela es incluso peor: antes del ataque los demihumanos cocinaron vivos a grán parte de los pricioneros y se los comieron frente a las murallas para que los soldados observen

Render the human shield ineffective and it ceases to be a valid tactic.

Those children were, sadly, already dead. The only difference was how many other humans the demis could kill before finishing off the children.

Yeah, if someone uses such a tactics, one should do everything possible to let none of them live, bcs hostages already as good as dead

¿Por qué carajos dudaron? mátenlos sin importar las condiciones, porque si logran su objetivo, se van a reproducir y seguirán aplicando esa estrategia en sus próximas batallas.

Asmongold approves. as do I. stop being pussies

i haven't watched this new season, but iirc i don't think this is the kind of move Ains would do as far as i know him, this tactic is more likely idea of that Chimera guy or i might be wrong. also, that Sister of Albedo won't like this tactic so much

All the 100 "reincarnated as" anime every year cant hold a candle to overlord, they dont have the maturity.

That was a hard decision

Fun fact, this is also a common tactic used in real life

i like this. fuk em kids who told them to get captured? deserved.

Ah, defending against muslims. Classic.

Can’t wait for szn 5

This scene could take many forms irl, the refusal to do what's necessary will eventually doom everyone and yourself if you don't do what's needed in that current situation -Kill or be Killed -Sacrifice the few to save the many

Lmao Germans did that to Poles once.

yet another reason why overlord is peak, its not afraid to touch on dark reality's and stay realistic to its environment

Anime name pls

Israel vs Hamas live action

Idk what anime this is.....but this situation is incredibly grim and I love it.

Increíble como toda esta mierda fue un comercial para que Ainz pudiera vender sus armas runicas

Putting them out of their misery is the best solution.

They could've just, you know, aimed for the trolls' heads to spare the children.

Mercy against grotesquary isn't strength. Knowing when to perform the unpleasant as a mercy, is.
