In the eleventh episode of Overlord Season 3, the narrative focuses on the ambitions and subsequent downfall of the First Prince Barbro, contrasted with the unexpected rise of Enri Emmot, the chief of Carne Village. Prince Barbro, eager to prove his worthiness to ascend the throne, embarks on a mission to gather intelligence in Carne Village. He aims to distinguish himself through extraordinary deeds, anticipating that his succession may be contested after his father's death.
Prince Barbro's approach to the mission is marked by poor judgment and escalating mistakes. His inability to negotiate peacefully with Carne Village leads to a series of increasingly detrimental decisions. When Barbro's forces clash with Carne's trained ogres and suffer setbacks, he unwittingly forces Enri Emmot into a desperate situation. As Barbro's troops threaten the village children, Enri, in a moment of crisis, blows a horn given to her by Lord Ainz, unaware of its true power.
The horn, known as the Horn of the Goblin General, unexpectedly summons a massive and terrifying goblin army. This 5,000-strong force, impeccably equipped and trained, demonstrates unwavering loyalty to Enri. The episode vividly showcases the various goblin units in their battle attire, albeit with somewhat rudimentary CGI effects.
This turn of events catches even Momonga/Ainz off guard. Initially, he believed the horn would summon a modest contingent of goblins, not an army of such magnitude. Ainz speculates that the army's size and strength are tied to the horn's user—in this case, Enri—whose leadership qualities and affection for her village and its goblin garrison likely influenced the outcome.
Barbro's forces, overwhelmed by the unexpected might of the goblin army, are decisively defeated and forced into a chaotic retreat. However, the order to retreat comes too late to prevent significant losses.
Later, Beta, one of the Pleiades, reveals her involvement in amplifying the power of Enri's horn blast, which led to the emergence of the formidable goblin army. She also informs Barbro that his existence conflicts with Lord Ainz's plans, resulting in the massacre of Barbro and his entire troop.
The episode concludes with the demise of Prince Barbro, hinting that his potential rule might have harmed the kingdom. Meanwhile, Enri Emmot emerges victorious as the chief of Carne Village, now renowned as the glorious Goblin General. This development marks a significant transformation in her character, from a simple village leader to a powerful commander, and foreshadows a peaceful future for her and Nfirea, free from the interference of misguided nobility.
