Episode 10 of "Overlord IV" begins with the Floor Guardians discussing the recent defeat of two Death Knights by a man in a red energy suit. Ainz reveals that it was his intention to lure out the kingdom's most powerful protectors, the Drop of Red.
In the royal capital, Prince Zanac and Princess Renner meet, perhaps for the last time, as Ainz's army is about to attack their city. Zanac appears ready to lead the remaining troops of Re-Estize, while Renner is advised to flee at the right moment.
Meanwhile, the adamantite adventurer group Blue Rose encounters Azuth, the leader of Drop of Red, in a brothel. During this meeting, they are approached by members of the Black Scripture from the Holy Kingdom, who propose an alliance to counter the threat of the Sorcerer King. Blue Rose hesitates to join the alliance, and Azuth is skeptical about whether the Sorcerer King can be defeated.
Prince Zanac, wearing Gazef's armor, seeks out Ainz Ooal Gown and requests a conversation. Ainz agrees and arranges a formal setting for the discussion. Zanac questions Ainz about the cruel manner in which he is proceeding against the kingdom. Ainz explains that he intends to make an example of the Re-Estize Kingdom to deter future resistance against his Sorcerous Kingdom. Ainz's stated goal is to secure happiness for himself and those he cares about.
Zanac, impressed by Ainz's human-like qualities, recognizes him as a more worthy king than himself. However, events take a sudden turn when Zanac's nobles betray him, behead him, and present his head to Ainz as a sign of loyalty to the Sorcerous Kingdom.
Disgusted by the cowardice of the nobles, Ainz decides not to oversee the invasion personally. He orders Albedo to send the treacherous nobles to Neuronist, Nazarick's torturer, on the condition that they may only die if they beg for death. Ainz then tasks Cocytus and Mare with leading the battle, implying that he has lost interest in them due to their dishonorable actions.
The episode ends with Renner standing as the de facto queen of a kingdom on the brink of destruction.
