The Executed Sage Reincarnates as a Lich and Begins a War of Aggression
Episode 45: Sage opens war with a new country
"Demon King, I have a report for you."
Grom, who appeared during the sight, says with deep gratitude.
I have some nervousness.
Apparently, it's bad news.
I reassemble my legs on the throne.
"What?"
"A declaration of war has been made by the Holy Cane Nation"
"Right."
To Grom's words, I hammer clerically.
I was less surprised.
More than thirty days after putting an end to the war with the Empire.
Because I thought it could happen any day.
Holy Cane Country is a country located in the eastern part of Demon King's Land.
It lies ahead across deep woods and valley areas.
As you can tell from the country name, he is familiar with Holy Magic and seems to be a very religious national.
They abhor the immortal to the point of excess.
To be at opposite poles to holy power.
If the immortal were to be overthrown in the hero Tan, it was enough to say that the Holy Cane Nation would appear.
In fact, I hear there are many excellent users of sacred magic in the country.
If it is limited to the field of anti-undead, the Cane State does not allow the following of other countries.
It was exactly what could be termed synonymous with the killing of the immortal.
There is no way such a sceptre nation would leave a being called the Demon King alone.
You should want to destroy it even if it is not.
I thought it would move soon.
Then why have you been static until now, presumably due to the obsession of the Holy Cane Nation?
More than an aversion to the immortal, they attach importance to the way the Holy Cane Nation is.
It is similar to pride, self-esteem, and face.
The Cane Nation cares about those parts and always wonders how they can be seen from other countries.
I often remember being admired for being a conceited country.
Moving carelessly, it involves the ticket of the Holy Cane Country.
I guess that's why they were looking at the opportunity to invade.
And now that the empire was destroyed, we decided it was time for us to act.
The declaration of war must also be in order to make other countries aware of their prestige and legitimacy.
"Destroy the king of the undead, who will not cover the continent with darkness. Damn, that's an angry statement."
"It's a fact on the surface. There's no mistake over there."
"Sure you will..."
Grom roars in dissatisfaction.
From his point of view, I guess it's something you can't welcome.
For Grom, who knows and agrees with my true purpose as the Demon King, the Holy Cane Nation's statement is offensive.
That said, this wasn't a bad flow.
The fact that the Holy Wand Nation declared war is perceived as such an enemy of the Demon King.
It was a development consistent with my purpose of moving as much as possible to the enemies of the world.
"So, what are we going to do? As with the invasion of the Empire, will I (I) and the Archers be on my way?"
"Hmm, right..."
As I stroked my jaw and conceived, the entrance door opened.
It was Luciana who entered the room.
She has spoken with the paperwork in one hand.
"We have a problem. Looks like the army of the sceptre kingdom has begun its invasion of the demonic kingdom. According to the detective child, there's been a lot of damage."
"... ho"
According to Luciana, the army of the Cane Nation has already begun its invasion from the southeast.
They say they are longitudinally slaughtering demon kings and killing humans indiscriminately.
Says the Cane Nation puts forth the saying, "Give salvation to the fallen people of darkness in the hands of the Demon King".
Grom, who was listening beside him, asks Luciana in a frustrating manner.
"Sacubus. That information is true, isn't it?
"Absolutely. You think I'm gonna lie here?
"I'm asking if there's anything wrong with the secret detective story."
Luciana, who has been pointed out by Grom, moves forward.
She smashed Grom's chest with her fingertips.
"Trust me there. Because Atashi is educating properly. By the way, why is Minister Bone here?"
"I have come to inform the Demon King that the Holy Staff Nation has declared war."
"So you've been invading at the same time as declaring war? I see, that's what it feels like to be a human sama"
Luciana is sarcastic in a fed up tone.
On its face, there was an obvious contempt for humans.
My eyes, which usually seem delightful, are completely chilled.
The Cane Nation is more relentless than I thought.
I'm not sure how far you intend to invade, but it looks like you're seriously attacking the Demon King's Realm.
Moreover, in them, obedient human beings are also subject to solemnity.
"What are you going to do with the army of the Cane Nation? It's a human city being attacked, and we'll see how it goes?
"No, intercept. You can't keep your mouth shut and be imitated at will in Demon King's Land."
I answer instantly.
If left alone, further damage will occur.
The city of man is now one of the kings of demons.
It belongs to me more than it obeys.
I cannot tolerate threatening that on my own.
"When did you come out?
"As soon as you're ready. Proceed with the formation immediately."
Luciana, who listened to my instructions, sighed at the grandeur.
He has a bitter laugh on his mouth.
"You're already kind if you're the Demon King Sama. Wouldn't you be a good king?
"The joke is fine. Go quickly, and so will Grom."
"Yes."
"Yes, I did!
When I urged them, they honestly left the room.
Being alone, I keep my back on the throne.
It was still about the Holy Cane Nation that I toured my thoughts.
(You're the one who causes it to me...)
Ten years ago, that man and I were repeatedly obstructed by the Holy Cane State.
They could not allow anyone but their own to crusade the Demon King.
Although circumstances are different from this one, it will still be to preserve pride and majesty.
There were occasions where I was about to lose my life several times.
While such despicable harassment was repeated, no powerful man emerged from the Holy Cane Nation.
Because a handful of heroes were dying in the battle against the Demons.
There was not enough power left in the Holy Cane Nation at the time to confront the Demon King.
In the end, after cutting through numerous obstruction efforts, we crusaded the Demon King at the end of a fierce struggle.
Since then, there has been no contact from the Holy Cane Country, and soon we have been executed.
Beyond ten years, I can't make a good impression on that country when I've abandoned humans.
Everywhere, with arrogance, I think only of my own country.
In a way, it would also be considered an imperial compatriot.
Different directions make it difficult to say that there is coordination.
I don't want to clear my grudges, but I'll have them hurt a lot.
I will not destroy you this time.
I just urge you to let go of your nagging obsession and tie your hands with other countries.
The power of the Holy Cane Nation is useful to mankind in the future.
It will undoubtedly be hope in dealing with the immortal demon king.
We need to let them use that way.
Then an army was formed to intercept the Holy Cane Nation with less.
Henry, unaffected by purification by holy sorcery, and Grom to serve the undead become generals, and me, Luciana, and Dorda are waiting.
Ask them to lead a mixed army of demons, undead and elves.
The target uses holy sorcery, so he also granted enhanced sorcery from me.
This also improved the endurance of the undead, making it a force that most armies could defeat.
I will transfer the Interceptors to a point where the Holy Cane Nation is located.
When the battle is over, the reading is supposed to fly out of the grom.
From previous experience, there will be a piece at sunset.
- Thus after an intermittent rest, the demon king's army began to fight a new nation.
