Overlord

I'd love to know why they're still hanging on after Volume 7 made a clear statement towards them.

>That is getting old. He should grow a spine.
It's still my hope that something will throw a wrench into the massacre plan and it will turn into some keikaku Doori affair. Mobile Armor gives me some hope that salvation might be had but I have been let down before. Like how Enri's Goblin army didn't show up in the Holy Kingdom despite setting her up or how Renner and Ainz haven't even talked to each other. Some times, it's the author sprinkling world building but I am of the opinion that if something is foreshadowed, then it should be followed up on. It's an untold promise of sorts.
