The Executed Sage Reincarnates as a Lich and Begins a War of Aggression

Episode 37: The Wise Man Is Baptized by the Empire

A few days earlier, personnel were provided from all over Demon King's territory.

I thought I was going to the balcony of the castle.

View the castle city from there.

Rounding his gaze, he found the compartment where the humans were gathered.

Until now, it was deserted.

The people offered live there.

The abandoned house was used as is, and there was no shortage in other supplies.

Even within the same king city, it is far from the dwellings of the demons.

It's hard to say that they're close.

I hear that there have already been several outbreaks of stage feuds that cannot be called fights.

Ideally, those living in the same land could get along with each other.

I want you to go out with me over the hedge of the race.

I believe it is possible.

Because there are real examples.

The humans, formerly slaves to the remnants of the former Demon King's Army, now lived peacefully together with the demons.

As a concerned neighbor and colleague, he treats past causes out of context.

I guess this peculiar environment has forcefully reduced their distance.

I'm glad to see that happens to those who have come with this staffing offer.

So far there has been no solution.

Only wait for time to solve it.

(You're a pathetic demon king...)

Taste your own powerlessness at these times.

All I can exercise is violence.

I will not allow other follow-ups in that regard, but in the face of these delicate problems, nothing can be done as soon as possible.

I haven't been good at relationships since my lifetime.

Being immortal makes me feel unnecessarily bad.

This would be a strange story, because you are now naming the Demon King.

It just had to be a challenge to overcome.

Power alone cannot continue to reign as the evil of the world.

If I don't grow up, too.

"Demon King Summer."

Immersed in the idea of mixing self-loathing, I could hear the energetic weather.

It was Luciana who came up by my side.

They flew in from the castle yard.

She begins to speak with one hand of the report.

"Not so much a problem...... but I'm just here to report it"

"What's up?"

When I urge her to continue, she turns the report.

"I heard from the bone minister. Because the Imperial Army is using strange weapons, they want Sama the Demon King to see it."

"Weird weapon, or..."

I think as I stroke my jaw.

Has the Empire developed some kind of weapon?

Other than that, I didn't have the impression that it was highly technical, but it was hard to believe that the report was false.

But even when it was annihilated in the woods of the world trees, there was nothing noticeable about the Imperial Army.

(I wonder if he had hidden his secret weapon)

The possibility that the ban was lifted by being attacked near the Imperial City cannot be denied.

If you are afraid that it will be countered, you should think that you do not want to use it as much as possible.

I would if I were in the same position.

Whatever it is, so much so that Grom wants me to see it.

I couldn't have ignored it.

I myself am purely interested.

"Are you struggling in a war situation?

"Mm-hmm. Looks okay from the feel of the report. For once, I think I'm taking a distance and seeing how things are going. They don't want to cause more damage."

"Right."

It's not a bad decision.

Carry out the attack in a chronic manner, and you can't even see it when you get a painful counterattack.

He seems to be following a policy that prioritizes the lives of his subordinates.

"What do we do? Wanna go check it out?

"Oh. Then it strikes the Empire"

When I answered that, Luciana put her hand on her forehead and sighed.

She shrugs her shoulders in a playful move.

"I'm out, demon king Sama's hobby... oh, I guess I'm an aggressive addict"

"It's not a hobby or an addiction. It's a necessary action."

"Hehe, you did."

Luciana smiles happily.

What is interesting about the current exchange?

I have no idea how sensitive she is.

While I prepare for metastatic witchcraft, I capture the signs of a grom far away.

I'm going to keep moving to him.

If there is an inexhaustible amount of magic, there is no such thing as making.

"I'm coming."

"Yes, be careful"

Luciana waves with ease.

In that hand was a glass of red liquid at some point.

Probably fruit liquor.

He claims he is unwilling to accompany you out of the blue.

Probably a hassle with the fight.

I had no choice, so I decided to tell her what to put down the souvenir.

"Reside Grom during his absence. You two stay close."

"Wow, I'm so happy"

Luciana says in a voice that doesn't even have shard emotions.

Her eyes were brilliantly cloudy.

He doesn't like being alone with Grom that much.

What a strange relationship when it comes to always being light-hearted and twisted together.

Roughly Luciana everywhere, I started metastatic magic.

The destination was a desolate earth spread.

There are many places that have fallen everywhere and are heavily decided.

In the distance I could see a city with huge exterior walls.

Locally, that would be the Imperial City.

"Yay! This is the demon king!

I heard a familiar voice from below.

If you look at it, there's a grom lurking cramped in the cracks in the ground.

It was shaped like it was half pinched.

He rejoices in my arrival as he rattles his jawbone.

"Thank you so much for taking the time to come. This grom is going to make me cry a lot of thanks."

"I heard there was a strange weapon. Where is that?"

I ask Grom, with great praise.

He pointed his index finger at the Imperial capital.

"It's that way. Little things, they're after us from a distance. I (I) or the Archers can destroy it, but it depends on what the Demon King wanted me to see before then."

"Hmm."

I watch the walls of the Imperial City.

There, boxes of metal lined up at equal intervals.

One box is about the size of a house.

The side of the box was fitted with a cylinder.

The surfaces are engraved with a surgical formula that lights up the light.

It was close to the cannon in shape, but clearly had a different structure.

I've never even seen anything that huge, so it's probably something else.

It is indeed an unusual weapon.

I'm also convinced Grom asked for my instructions.

"Where are the others?"

"With archers, we are resting in an occupied city in the rear. After I decided to treat that weapon, I was going to send them out again."

"Good decision. Well done."

"Oh, thank God I'm happy!

With less joy, the flames envelop the entire head of the grom.

In fact, it was not a rhetoric but a good decision.

In the meantime, we need to look into that weapon.

It is hard to believe that it was manufactured with the technical skills of the Empire.

Or have you even found a new sorcery system in the last decade?

I didn't remember hearing those stories.

To confirm, I created a force field and walked out of the universe.

Keep trying to get close to the Imperial City.

"Be careful, Demon King. Being approached inadvertently…"

A warning is issued from the grom behind it.

Before he could finish, multiple shells drove.

I thought I pointed at this one at the same time, spraying fire with magic.

(- I see)

A helix drawn while flying in at a fast speed.

Leaving the sound behind and approaching was a cylinder of metal with rounded tips.
