Episode 3 of Overlord Season 3 shifts the focus entirely to Carne Village and Enri Emmot, who, as the de facto leader of the village, must confront a series of challenges.

The young goblin Agu brings alarming news to the village: it is threatened by the Giant of the East and the Great Serpent of the West. These forces are mobilizing their armies in the absence of the Great Beast of the South, also known as Hamusuke. The potential conflict with the King of Darkness looms over Carne Village, making it imperative for the villagers to prepare for a possible battle.

In this time of uncertainty, Beta Lupusregina, a servant from Nazarick, visits Enri. She offers to ask Lord Ainz for help, but Enri, wanting to prove the village's self-reliance, decides to handle the situation on her own.

That night, a significant development occurs when the village goblins capture several ogres. Enri demonstrates her leadership qualities and diplomatic skills by persuading the ogres to join their forces, thereby strengthening the village's defenses.

The narrative then shifts to Enri's personal struggles. Nphirea informs her that he cannot accompany her to E-Rantel, forcing her to face her challenges alone. This scene subtly parallels Enri's situation with that of Lord Ainz, albeit in a different context.

When Enri arrives in E-Rantel, she faces another hurdle: she is arrested and interrogated. During her interrogation, she learns the immense value of a piece of jewelry given to her by Lord Ainz. The situation takes a turn when Momon, also known as Ainz in disguise, intervenes, leading to her swift release. This incident highlights the advantages of having powerful allies.

At the adventurer's guild, Enri encounters bureaucratic challenges as she negotiates for the village's protection. Her plight is alleviated, possibly due to behind-the-scenes influence, hinting at the power of her high-ranking connections.

The episode ends with a surprising twist in Carne Village. Enri discovers that the villagers have unanimously decided she should lead them—a role she never aspired to but is perfectly suited for. In a contrasting scene, however, Beta Lupusregina reveals her darker side, expressing a sadistic desire to destroy the village.
