The Executed Sage Reincarnates as a Lich and Begins a War of Aggression
Episode 35: Wise Men Pretend New Threats
During the royal sight of the castle.
I was looking through a pile of reports I could come by.
(Not a bad flow)
The Demon King's Army is launching an invasion of imperial territory and carrying out an attack from the edge of the territory.
They're gradually pushing the scourge of war.
I am hardly involved in this.
I leave it to the three executives of the Demon King's Army - Grom, Luciana and Henry.
They hang out with each other on a daily basis, but they're kind of close.
The collaboration was excellent.
We are dedicated to each area of expertise and are able to act well.
These days, it seems that Grom synthesizes the undead, which had become surplus power, and operates it as a type of chimera.
He seems to be trying to strengthen the Demon King's army.
It is indeed a pleasure.
Some more elves belonged to the Demon King's Army.
Famous bowmen and users of spiritual witchcraft, they are very good.
They still seem to have a slight sense of distance, but they say they are working together to fight each other.
In the World Tree Forest, other elves live the same life as before.
Neighbouring countries were officially notified that they were slaves to the demonic kingdoms.
I don't interfere with the elves here, I take care to make sure they stay free.
I don't want to treat the elves like slaves.
To be honest, I just wanted to give you a hand when you needed it.
Regardless, if you give that attitude, the Demon King's glory will shake.
That's why I let some elves join the Demon King's Army.
Just because an old friend serves as chief doesn't mean he can make the whole race look like a monster.
Turning a bunch of reports, the door was knocked.
I hear voices from the other side.
"Demon King. The lord of man is here."
"Let it pass."
Answering the report aside, the door opened.
Sacubas in civilian clothing leads the way with the superior dressed humans.
He has an attitude toward the back of the outfit.
The gaze moving around, as soon as he saw me, held a clear fear.
They are people in the city who have shown obedience.
who were once lords of the kingdom.
On the pretext of something, I called it in.
The Lords kneel in a frivolous motion.
They began to say hello even as they trembled.
"Lord Demon, you have invited me to join you today, Sincerely..."
"Precedents are good. Trouble."
I tell them to block it.
I glanced at the lords as I put my feet together on the throne.
That's all they do, they turn pale in the face.
Some of them were about to faint.
It would be a situation of death and neighborhood for them.
I could lose my life in one of my moods.
You just couldn't ignore the call from me.
I do not see what punishment can be inflicted.
Must have come a long way this way with the desire to say no.
"Have you prepared an answer for the Talent Delivery to the Demon King's Army that was in circulation?"
"Well, that's right, it was still difficult to navigate without recruiting as the hopeful thought -"
One of the lords mumbles.
The others looked the same.
As I reassemble my legs, I ask in a chilling tone.
"- You refused my request, okay?
"Oh, I'll be dispatching you soon! Duh, please, three days! Please just wait three days!
The lay lords rushed out between their glances.
Footsteps steep away.
Sacubas, the guide, left the room after an in-depth courtesy.
(Damn, they're in trouble)
I guess they wanted concessions, but they don't respond to those things.
That's why I politely threatened you, so now it will be time to have talent.
Otherwise, we must destroy some territory.
"Demon King Sama, I'm coming in."
The door opened with a casual voice.
It was Luciana who showed up loose.
When she comes to me, she brings me to the throne.
If Grom sees it, he's going to be furious, but he's not here on this occasion.
I myself was letting Luciana do whatever I wanted because I didn't care what she said or did.
It would be enough if you would just do the job in charge.
"You were afraid of humans, but you did something again?
"I was just pushing for talent."
When I answered, Luciana put her finger on her lips.
She lowers her eyebrows and gives a strange look.
"Oh, about that. Why do you want to add humans to the Demon King's Army? Nothing. Isn't your current strength enough?
"If we leave too much alone, we could be looking for a rebellion. If we pull through moderately, they won't imitate the detours either"
In fact, there was a lord in the back who was trying to connect with other countries.
I set up an opportunity for discussion with the person alone.
I swear allegiance even though I was on the verge of suffocation with fear, so I'm fine now.
It is only a matter of no choice that those who make disturbing moves, like their lords, come out.
As far as the obedient territory was concerned, it basically did not intervene from here.
I guess he also has the perception that the Demon King is sweet.
Sometimes my sanctions were too loose.
So we decided to intervene, albeit irregularly, in the future.
In some cases, you'll need to show them off.
We were going to let them reaffirm the Demon King's horror.
Luciana, hearing my thoughts, has a mean grin.
"You don't say because you want a pawn that can be crushed."
"Humans are useful. Useful in terms of production as well as force. A skilled human being can also raise the standard of living in Wang Du"
Nothing collects humans just for counter-insurgency measures.
Demons and undead alone can often cause inconvenience.
It also served as a complement to those various aspects.
As a solid base, I want to make Wang Du prosperous.
"How's the war better than that?"
"You mean the Imperial Army? So far, so good. The bone minister is tense, and he's bored and in trouble."
A bone minister would mean grom.
If he's struggling, come on. It must be awesome.
Individuals who are enemies of Grom are almost non-existent.
An army of undead and demons alone would have forced more or less a struggle.
The Imperial Army should also have anti-dead measures by holy magic.
I think it was difficult to break through that.
You were still right not to keep your power warm and to accompany the executives.
"As instructed by Sama the Demon King, the city and village that have accepted the obedience recommendation keep it under surveillance. This is the way to go for the Empire City, right?
"Oh, yeah. But don't destroy it completely. Encourage cooperation with other countries. The Demon King's Army loosens the invasion where appropriate and uproots the territory on the road."
To my orders, Luciana looks sinister.
She sighed small.
"Difficult order hey...... well, fine. I'll make sure you get it right."
"I asked."
"Yes, yes, I'll take care of it"
Luciana walked out between her glances, waving flirtatiously.
I sit on the throne, I think.
An army of demons who occupied the kingdom acquired the forest of the world tree and now began invading the empire.
If we stay on track, we'll be able to disintegrate the empire as well.
Though we will not let it until its demise, its power should be sharpened considerably.
But there was one suspicion in me.
(-Fulfilled, will the world allow this flow?
Evil is excluded through the power of justice.
That would be the right ending.
It's a repeat of all times.
The world and I have spinning history that way.
But I survived the fate of doom by defeating the brave men of our time.
It is a state that overshadows reason, if you will.
It's an irrational development itself.
I'm sure the world will be facing new threats.
My doom is the right course, so let it happen.
I will prepare enough beings to destroy the immortal demon king.
As things stand, the Demon King's Army was making furious fast advances.
That in itself is something to be welcomed and done, but you can never be chronic.
Sooner or later, a factor emerges that will lead to bankruptcy.
The same was true when modern brave men awoke.
If the world wants to destroy the Demon King, let me resist it.
Eliminate justice as many times as you can and keep on striving for your ideals.
I don't hate the sacrifice for that.
