The Executed Sage Reincarnates as a Lich and Begins a War of Aggression
Episode 115: The Sage Looks Back at the Progress of the Demon King's Army
The next day I went to a vast estate on the outer perimeter of Wang Du.
It was set in the meadows, where the red-brown earth was stripped out.
Everywhere is submerged and traces of burning are noticeable.
A short distance away was a wooden building.
This is a training ground reserved for the Demon King's Army.
With the increase in personnel, the training grounds in Wang Dynasty became narrow and were newly built at the request of Henry.
Here, it is possible to train in conditions close to actual battle, and can reproduce various terrain with magic.
Because they are surrounded by the junction, you don't have to think about the damage to the outside.
Soundproofing was also perfect and care for the surrounding environment was thorough.
"Ho, this is amazing. I'm not convinced the soldiers are highly skilled."
It is the predecessor demon king, Diela, who will raise his voice of admiration next door.
She was somewhat well.
He seems satisfied, both physically and mentally, with his battle with Grom throughout the night.
Diela is no better than Henry.
She observes herself around things like intrigue.
I asked Diela a question.
"In your generation, you didn't want to build these facilities."
"It wasn't the kind of situation where I was able to train my subordinates. If the Lord would have lost a little more of his hand, he might have been able to afford it."
The Demon King looks at me sideways.
There was some criticism involved.
"... I won't apologize"
"Naturally. The Lord had the Lord's mission. Now I'm not gonna say it anyway."
Diela shrugs her shoulders and laughs.
Apparently, that was a mild joke.
She doesn't care about the past.
He looked like he was enjoying his new life.
Sometimes I dig back like I do now, but I don't mean that either.
On the contrary, there was a verse that enjoyed my reaction.
There was no reason to know at the time, but Diela seems to have this personality.
"Still, if you have all this architectural technology, you can build me about my house, right?
"Do something on your own. Materials have been provided."
I answer instantly.
Currently, Diela lives in the former demonic realm.
That land, once contaminated with air, was also washed with destruction by my curse.
It is now a very different environment from other lands.
She lives fine there.
I did not intend to come under the umbrella of the Demon King's Army, but only maintained my position as a neighbor.
I guess it's her obsession.
That said, they often find life inconvenient.
A frequent visit to the Demon King's Land was good evidence.
"Nooo, how ruthless... if some wise man hadn't blown up my castle, I would have stayed there..."
Diela stares at me sideways again.
Apparently he mentions what happened when I blew up her castle with great sorcery.
That was the result of choosing the best course of action.
I didn't expect to be complained of by the Demon King himself in ten years.
With such exchanges, the Demon King's Army begins to align in the distance.
They formed themselves in quick motion and attacked them in a targeted manner.
Countless firing sounds echo.
Eyed at it, Diela gazes and observes.
"It looks like a wand, but what's that weapon?
"It's an iron gun. You can fly lead bullets and attack enemies. Close to bow development"
The artillery captured in the Magic Land evolved into its own weapon with further improvements.
Improved firing speed and shooting accuracy have also reached a level sufficient for operational purposes.
Mass production had already begun.
Even within the Demon King's Army, the more specialized units are created.
Diela observes the training landscape of the artillery.
She expressed her opinion as she stroked her jaw.
"In that condition, it's for interpersonal use. Sorcerers don't like it."
She is correct in her point.
The artillery will be a weapon of sorcerer killing in future wars.
You can attack accurately without needing chanting from afar, and you don't need vast amounts of training like a bow.
Anyone can use the rest as long as they have mastered the minimum manipulation.
A weapon so versatile is rare.
Behind the artillery units came yet another new weapon.
Diela frowns and tilts her neck.
"Is that... an iron carriage?
"It's a weapon called a tank. By the rays of magic, you destroy the subject from a distance. There's no defense or avoidance in coarse sorcery."
I explain.
That is also one of the weapons seized from the Land of Magic.
It features powerful rays emitted from the cannon.
We haven't got all the numbers yet, but this one was going to make a squad any day.
"Sage's wisdom is alive and well when he develops all those vicious weapons."
"It's not what I thought. They just diverted what modern technologists invented."
All are based on John Doe's flashes.
His genius would undoubtedly have made a leap forward in human civilization.
Even though there was an inevitable reason, I picked out the sprouts of that possibility.
Although I have no regrets, I intend to keep that fact in mind.
I've been observing you for a while, Diela, but I turned to you.
And raises questions about me.
"Why didn't you show these to me now?
"It's part of tourism. I wanted to show it off because it just took shape."
Diela and I have something in common: the Demon King.
We used to be enemies to each other, but now we're like seniors and juniors.
Her opinion is valuable.
Although tourism is not a lie either, it was true that I wanted to know what improvements were in the perspective of the previous demon kings.
The Demon King Army is still developing.
We will strive to further strengthen it by reflecting improvements.
Diela, who would have noticed those parts, leaks a laugh like a sneer.
"Your Lord is not disciplined...... by the way, can you steer that to me too?
It was the tank she pointed at.
I thought you were paying some attention earlier, but apparently you care.
It is slowly floating and overall restless.
"Maneuvering is possible. Experience it if you like."
"Oh! I'd love to!
Diela joys with her hands up.
It was a childish reaction.
I am truly innocent.
From what I see, I can't associate myself with being a former demon king.
We moved to the Demon King's Army in training.
The delivery will be stunned to see us, but the training will not stop.
It pushes and kills agitation and continues to attack virtual enemies.
Henry came to us in it.
"Hey, Admiral. What's going on today?"
"Diela wants to try a weapon. I'd like that explanation."
"Oh, that's good. Leave it to me."
Henry agrees immediately.
Diela, on the other hand, declared herself a little anxious.
"I can only handle spears, okay?
"Anyone can do basic manipulations."
Henry answers in a pleasant manner.
He urged Diela to head towards the nearest tank.
Watching how it goes, Diera looks back at this one and shouts out.
"It's Dwight! What are you stopping for? Don't let the Lord do it with you."
"... I'm good"
"What will the Demon King do with passivity! Don't archers think so, too?
Diela screams all the time saying she can't believe it.
Or so I even asked Henry next door for his opinion.
Henry puts his hands on his hips and conceives, he peeps into a fierce grin.
"Sure. It's bad for the general at dawn all night, but let's play a little bit, shall we? I wanted to shoot some artillery."
"... ok"
Taking the gaze of anticipation, I snort reluctantly.
I was going to take my time bypassing, but I couldn't help it.
I'm the one who decided to guide you.
You could hang out for a little while.
