Overlord movie: The Holy Kingdom arc is set to focus on the Roble Holy Kingdom that has enjoyed peace for many great years without war. This is thanks to the colossal wall that was constructed after a historic tragedy.
That's when a terrible demon Jaldabaoth heads a united army of monstrous demi-human tribes and proceeds to invade the Roble Holy Kingdom. Upon witnessing the threat, the kingdom's leaders realized that their defenses weren't good enough. Hence, the Holy Kingdom had no choice but to enlist the help of the undead king Ainz Ooal Gown.
