The Executed Sage Reincarnates as a Lich and Begins a War of Aggression
Episode 54: Wise Men Conceive Where Countries Go
Two hundred days have passed since the death fight with the Virgin.
I still hold the throne of the Demon King.
There was no invasion from another country, and there was no invasion from here.
I don't even hear about the big war.
It would be close to the tranquility before the storm.
In a way, it was an ideal situation for me.
That's probably temporary, too, but for one thing I want to rejoice that peace has been created.
Information was provided on a regular basis by secret detectives who had released them to various countries.
They say every country is in the process of planning against the Demon King.
The details are often hidden and impossible to find.
For this reason, the information was also very concise and superficial.
There are circumstances regarding this.
It is due to the fact that Luciana of the Four Heavenly Kings wielded too much fierceness during the period when the previous Demon King lived.
The intelligence operations she caused to unfold under the water created a great deal of confusion in the countries of the time.
In modern times, information management is thorough, taking into account the damage done at that time.
By taking multiple measures, countries are trying not to divulge information to the outside world.
Some of Luciana's favorite M.O. 's are said to be so well known in dedicated documents.
Still, a certain amount of information comes in the hands of a covert force, starting with Luciana.
Thanks to this we can grasp the general standing of each country.
Without information, we wouldn't have time to settle down like this.
By the way, they were strictly demanding that their safety be a priority.
Information does matter.
But there must be no such thing as greed and loss of life.
It will take precedence over anything that the scouts do not die.
That's fine if you take the time to provide steady information.
Apart from the plan against the Demon King, each country had begun to move.
First of all, the Empire.
The Imperial Capital was destroyed after the Demon King's Army took 20% of all the territory, but now the reconstruction is well under way.
They say the nobility of the territory, which was not invaded by the Demon King's Army, is working hard and trying to reclaim the tilted empire.
It also contained information that there were secret alliances with several countries.
Even if I don't say to my previous powers, I show solid signs of resurrection.
More than the former, the Empire is a powerful nation blessed with resources and talent.
As expected, nothing seemed to fade and perish as it was.
Sooner or later, they might set up a counterattack on the Demon King's army.
I stabbed the nail not to defy you again, but there was nothing wrong with trying to retaliate.
It would be good if you could work with other countries.
The present emperor is a masculine relative of his predecessors.
They weren't the main warriors, and now they seemed to be focusing on consolidating the country's foundations.
I only hope that you will build a good country at that rate.
Next is the Cane Nation, but this one wasn't as serious a situation as the Empire.
Simple damage has subsided because the Demon King's Army did not invade the territory in the first place either.
This country also possessed quite a bit of fighting power and still had some leeway.
There is nothing like a breakdown caused by the loss of the Virgin War.
However, on another side, I was in a bit of a mess.
The loss of tens of thousands of armies, including the Virgin, cast a shade on the authority that was absolute.
He said some of the people are distrustful and overall security in the country is declining.
Let us say that this is quite painful for the Holy Cane Nation, which is made up of faith and pride.
To break this situation, the Cane Nation had periodically announced its planned progress against the Demon King.
It greatly promotes the systematization of sacred witchcraft and the birth of a new Virgin.
The majority are just rumours and lies information, but the Cane Nation was somewhat eager to repeat the announcement.
It probably combines restraint on other countries.
Vanity also impresses me when it gets this far.
While you take such a strong attitude, there is no indication that the Holy Cane Army will actually invade.
The Virgin, who lost 10,000 units of soldiers and received the backing of the world, is also dead.
You'll still have the strength to withhold, but you can't be easily dispatched.
Once again defeated, the face of the Holy Staff Army is rounded.
It would be a development that would want to avoid anything for the upper echelons of the country.
So the movement itself is cautious.
Regardless of the reality of the Cane Army, it is a good trend to focus solely on attacking the Demon King Army.
For the time being, I don't think it's going to be a big deal just to look good.
It would be a good policy to continue to monitor.
The certainty is that the Cane Nation has not given up the Demon King Crusade.
Soon they will strike back.
They should invade with further force then.
Care should be taken.
As it stands, I did not intend to destroy the Holy Cane Nation.
Whatever that philosophy is, because it takes a move close to my ideal.
I have nothing to say if you cooperate with other countries, but so far it is unlikely that we can hope.
The upper echelons of the Staff Army have strong self-esteem.
There was a verse that looked down on other countries.
I am reluctant to join hands with anyone but my own country.
This is not the only part that can be solved in the short term.
That won't be the case if we invade the territory of the Holy Cane Army and hunt it down to the extreme, but there's not much to gain from that.
Though I am like a demon king, I didn't really want to destroy the world.
It only encourages the unity of mankind as a result of destruction.
The magnitude of the damage caused must be carefully considered.
(Deep despair, or)
I recall being pointed out by the Virgin Machia.
I remember a lot of hatred in humans.
This was an indisputable fact.
That's why there must be no such thing as a personal affair.
If I thought only of revenge, I would destroy the world promptly.
At that time, I'm sure no one can stop me.
It makes me a demon king in the true sense.
Take control of your own mind.
Conscious so that you don't go off the path you want.
I took over that guy's ideals.
Don't forget that.
"Demon King, may I have a moment?"
When I was thinking about how I was, Grom called me.
He does paperwork by his side.
Was there also a problem?
"What?"
"We have an inspection scheduled for the Institute today. It's time, what do you want to do?"
I recall Grom telling me.
A similar research facility was built in the corner of Wang Du in the wake of the magic workshop we saw in Teito.
He is responsible for the development of weapons and the manufacture and development of various demonic props, with the aim of developing and strengthening the power of the Demon King's territory.
The inspection of the laboratory was today.
Though I initially gave a variety of opinions and policies, I wasn't very involved these days.
All personnel and people starting construction are at the mercy of the distribution.
I had heard that no major problems had arisen, but in what form?
Even if I skipped the position of Demon King, I was purely interested.
I stand up and urge the grom to come with me too.
"Let's go."
"Ha! I did!
When Grom put the paperwork down, he withheld behind me at an awesome speed.
How delightful, one eye flame is gaining momentum.
It should be pretty busy, but Grom was always fine.
I guess it's because I'm not tired for the undead.
He seems to like to work and is a typical working person.
Occasionally I had heard you were acting hand-cooked in a cafeteria in Castle Downtown.
Back to back with the horrible look, they admire it from their subordination.
I wonder how much more supportive you are than I am.
(... we have to figure something out)
The Demon King is a symbol of fear and doom.
It just makes me wonder what it would be like to be seen as such from a subordinate as well.
Though I don't even want to be trusted with a good king, I want to at least be trusted personally.
I'm very negligent about this neighborhood.
I wanted to get an opinion from the other executives.
Perhaps I could ask at the next regular meeting.
With a small problem, I followed the room with Grom.
