The Warrior Troop were deployed from E-Rantel to investigate a series of village raids made by what seemed to be knights from the Baharuth Empire. The group encountered a ransacked village and Gazef ordered his men to sent the survivors over to E-Rantel for protection while they conduct their investigation.

They arrived at Carne Village and met the mysterious magic caster named Ainz Ooal Gown, who saved the village from the attacking knights. However, the village was now surrounded by a group of unidentified figures and they realized it was a trap. They engaged the Sunlight Scripture in a fierce battle but they are overwhelmed by their magic. However, they were safely teleported back to the village storage house thanks to the help from Ainz who gave him a cash item which saved his life.

## Strength

The Warrior Troop is composed of about fifty strong athletically fit warriors and their leader is the Strongest Warrior of the Kingdom. Outwardly, this group resembles a ragtag mercenary group. Despite its looks, this group is filled with veteran warriors who have seen countless battlefields.

Their martial prowess is equal to or slightly greater than the average imperial knight and with-in the kingdom there are very few aside from soldiers from the great noble private armies that can match them.
