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

A few days later, I went to the outer perimeter of Wang Du.

It is a construction site and the workers work sweaty.

Temporary cabins were also lined up, some seemingly liquor-like.

It's a place I don't usually visit, but I find it uniquely lively.

This is an outdoor street.

The merchant who visited Wang Capital asked me for permission to do business.

Since then, the gathering of those who perceived business opportunities has grown in nature and size.

The beginning is recent, but its development is remarkable.

Now it's like a little village or a city.

Using this place is mainly a stream of mercenaries and war refugees.

And when they heard the rumors of the kingdom of demons, they came all the way.

The King's capital has become increasingly narrow due to the growing number of residents.

If we sort out the abandoned areas, we can still afford it, but what's happening is that they're taking time to do other things.

Food problems and ethnic habitation divisions must also be taken into account.

The present King's Capital was in a state where it was not easy to increase the number of inhabitants.

It's this outdoor neighborhood that lightens those burdens.

Merchants carry household goods, and people overflowing from the Wang capital live there.

If you ask me, they're not that insecure either.

They say the mercenaries are forming a vigilante to patrol.

When we see these sights, we feel human success.

(Sooner or later this place is going to be part of the king's capital...)

With that in mind, I walk alone in the outdoor area.

He was obliterating the signs with cover-up magic because when those around him noticed it would make a fuss.

The majority of those here are human beings, most of whom have no knowledge with me.

It would surprise me if I could be seen, and inevitably annoys me.

It would be best to act secluded like this.

Moving around without a thing temporarily.

I stopped in front of a facility under construction.

What was there was a roofed waiting area.

An elongated rod-shaped iron material is laid adjacent thereto.

That lined up two in parallel, extending toward the other side.

Between iron, wood is installed at equal intervals.

Together, the two species were just shaped like ladders.

These are substitutes called tracks.

Box-type vehicle - it is a train passage.

They say trains use magic to travel fast and facilitate the transport of people and things.

All in all, it was a facility called the Railroad.

Railroads are one of the drafts found in the materials of the Magic Country.

The inventor is still John Doe.

I still don't know the bottom of his flash.

This groundbreaking mobility method would be useful in a variety of contexts.

Currently, the railway is in the process of being manufactured.

The tracks continued in the direction of the World Tree Forest and were to be connected to the front of the forest.

Undead are positioned around the tracks to prevent unauthorized or stolen iron material.

Why are you building a railroad, because Logan and some elves are struggling.

It takes a lot of time and effort to get to and from the woods and the king's capital.

I thought it would be inconvenient as it is now and decided to pass the railroad on an experimental basis.

I wanted to make it easy for the elves in the Wang capital to go home.

Once the railway is completed, day trips will also be possible.

To that fact, I feel the development of civilization.

Golem inspections were the main purpose of the recent visit to the Institute, but various other developments are under way.

It goes beyond weapons and extends to a variety of fields.

It's all John Doe's idea, or something that people at the lab came up with in association from there.

A wide variety of inventions will also be brought about in the future.

There is something I think about technological developments.

Because there will be examples like the Land of Magic.

Still, I didn't think excessive stagnation was the best idea.

I am the Demon King, but I will never destroy the world.

The aim is to reign at the summit of evil and deter human strife.

But there is also a certain form to it.

If only pure peace is to be pursued to the extreme, then all we have to do is brainwash all mankind and rule it so that it never disputes.

But that wasn't the future I wanted.

Lower the people to the same livestock, and what is peace?

I affirm the form the world should take.

Let the Demon King intervene on it.

I think it's a good thing that technology spreads through natural flows.

That's how people have built civilization.

So the more demon kingdoms will incorporate new technologies as well.

I want those who live in this land to live in abundance.

It's not that technology is evil.

It only depends on the addition and subtraction of those who use it.

No matter, there are exceptions.

I can't look at such a thing as the one thing about Magic Country.

That was a huge disturbance to the world.

I had to get rid of it quickly.

If there are similar problems in the future, I intend to be fierce as the Demon King.

Repeat the destruction caused by the war of aggression, in the hope of world peace.

obliterate them while embracing technological developments.

It would be some kind of selfish, half-way through.

But I became the Demon King to penetrate that reciprocal, half-hearted thought.

It's just bullshit where the regular man said it, but the strongest demon king can make it happen.

I have overshadowed my destiny, knowing that I was not wanted.

I once had an unemployed death.

I will never make the same mistake again.

(so that one day when that guy comes back, we can show him a peaceful world...)

I haven't got my eye on it yet, but I'll make sure it comes back to life.

That would be the redemption and duty that was forgiven to me.

"Demon King Summer."

Once again when I was determined, Luciana came down from the sky.

She lands by me.

That made the outdoor residents notice this way and make a fuss, but it can't be stopped.

It would be best to leave this place as soon as possible.

I respond to Luciana as she sees the backs of those who leave in a great hurry.

"What's up?"

"I'm here to call you because it's time for a meeting. What were you doing here?

"I was looking out for the railroad"

"Hmm, an unusual hobby."

Luciana says as she puts her finger on her chin.

In the meantime, wings like bats kept moving.

Doesn't seem very interested.

Taking her gaze off the track, she punches her hand, as I recall.

"Oh, yeah, yeah. An unknown person in the former demonic realm will come into contact with the demons."

"Humans and Demons...?

I'm surprised.

The Old Demon Territory is the land that was once occupied by the previous Demon King.

From the demonic kingdom it is located to the south, inhabited by a few but demonic tribes.

They have several settlements for everything.

They are remnants of the former Demon King's Army.

Escaping crusades by the nations of man, he lives in hiding.

The former demonic territory consisted of deserts and wilderness, a dangerous zone with high concentrations of magic and spiralling temper.

It's not a very human environment to live in.

I'm surprised someone visits such a place.

Not to mention making contact with the local demons, it's too suspicious.

This will need to be looked into.

"Luciana, do you have any idea"

"It was over a decade ago, right? I just don't know."

Luciana shrugs her shoulders.

Once upon a time, as the leader of the "moderates," she led the remnants of the Demon King's Army.

He was lurking on the border until I became the Demon King, and naturally he didn't realize what happened this time.

Having conceived a little, I sum up my thoughts and declare them to Luciana.

"The invasion of the Slave Autonomous Community is also important, but we cannot leave that alone either. Tonight, we investigate the former demonic realm."

"Yes, let me come with you."

"Oh, please"

I have a feeling there's a new problem.

We will not put it behind us this time, and we should act immediately.

It's too late to panic after an irrevocable situation.

I metastasized with Luciana, contemplating specific steps.
