Why are Ainz Ooal Gown troops attacking lizardmen?


Why are Ainz Ooal Gown troops attacking lizardmen in Overlord II (currently
ongoing)? Please explain.




**They want to subjugate them**

Ainz Ooal Gown is trying to expand their power, so gaining the extra land and
bringing the lizard-men under control (or annihilating them) beings a small
degree of extra security and power to Ainz Ooal Gown. Admittedly it is a huge
amount of effort for essentially no reward (the lizard-men are very noticeably
inferior). But it is also being used as an experiment/training exercise for
Cocytus.
