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

Episode 160: Wise Men Look Back at Continental Situations

"By the way, how's the example treatment going?"

"Yes! We are moving forward with rest while mobilizing additional magicians"

"Right."

I nod when I hear the desired answer.

Example treatment is one of the matters being studied here.

Once the conspiracy of the former Four Ten Kings Bulk transformed the people of the Republic into demonic tribes.

Eventually I was to protect them in the king's capital.

Today, the demons live as soldiers or ordinary people.

I couldn't find a way to put it back where it was, and I've been patient with them.

But the other day, a cure was finally found.

Most of all, it's not entirely back to normal.

Transformation into the Demon Nation is irreversible.

No matter how hard you put your hands into it, you can't go back to being human.

This had been found in the early stages and no rebuttal could be obtained by all means.

So I devised plastic surgery by witchcraft.

Excision of the specific parts of the Demon race and joining of the alternate parts.

It also changes the color of the skin and eyes.

By doing so, only appearances succeeded in bringing them closer to humans.

Regardless, the contents remain demonic, but you cannot tell first unless you are an operator capable of magic sensing.

The discernment by appearance alone was close to impossible.

At the very least, I was able to mix with other races and live without freedom.

It took a lot of hard work to establish this method.

The completed procedure itself also uses various sorceries, which need to be carried out by more than one person.

I am currently teaching plastic surgeons in the Demon King's Army.

Only trustworthy magicians are recruited and plastic surgery is underway from the demonic clan of hope.

The attempts were steadily successful, although they could not be solved at once because of the large number.

The friction between races I've been concerned about for a long time should be reduced.

The demons who underwent the surgery were also delighted.

I hear the new look is generally popular and makes it easier for me to live.

I also participated in the surgery when I had time and was doing my best to solve some of the Demons' problems.

It won't be that long until all those who want it have been treated well.

"I want you to reward me as soon as you have a problem. I'll handle it."

"Yes, I did! Periodic reports will also inform you of progress."

"Oh, please"

While we had that conversation, I went with the director to confirm the Institute's development.

Some of the technology created here is provided to all parts of the demonic kingdom.

They are hired in cities and villages to enrich their daily lives.

The people are often thankful to see if the sparing subsistence aid has done its job.

Weapons development, on the other hand, was also good.

The main factor will be that the director is particularly motivated to ride.

Conveniently, weapons have also been invented one after the other that cannot be employed by the military.

He's the director in charge of almost all areas, but he particularly likes weapons-related.

There was so much more to it that it was time to start having trouble managing it.

Since it is a weapon, it cannot be disposed of in a detour, nor can it be flushed elsewhere in the territory.

I want you to set up a special vault, and the staff will secretly ask me to do it.

So the idea was to modify the empty compartments and basements of the Wang capital exclusively for the laboratory.

Nothing is just for the director.

The expansion of the premises of the laboratory means that that's all her range of activities will be extended.

Therefore, the director can be converted as the defense equipment of Wangdu.

Her abilities basically only affect the institute.

Conversely, laboratories are free to wield their power.

With just one director, Wang Capital's defense would be a very strong one.

Even if I'm not there, you can assure me I won't fall first.

Unforeseen events can always happen.

We have a number of defensive measures available, but they were not too well prepared to be troublesome.

I intend to consult with the Director as soon as I have a specific plan.

She would accept it in two replies.

The defense itself would not be so ridden, but because the laboratory would be wider.

Being wider means that there are more research items that can be carried out that concurrently.

They should work with more of their own to match the premises.

The director has really expressed his non-standard abilities.

Honestly, the more I go to wipe it out immediately, if not under my command.

Her powers are too dangerous.

Just leaning a little towards aggressiveness could destroy the countries of the continent.

While successfully holding the reins, I will continue to have useful inventions and research done.

"How was the artillery before this?

"That's a series of shots. Golem's strength could have treated him well. I just have the impression that I've been taking the time to reload"

"Ho! Thanks for the helpful input. Let's review the design of the improved version."

The weapons ever produced were fierce on the battlefield.

Even after the death of the sub-gods, there has been constant strife on the continent.

The neighbouring countries, as always, are carrying out attacks on the Demon King's territory.

However, those movements are somewhat passive.

It never attacked the demonic kingdom in depth, but was just an operation that assumed partial territorial capture.

Countries that do not have a prominent power of war can't seem to get strong.

For the past six months, there was no information that a hero had emerged.

It's possible he's keeping it a secret, so I'm letting a secret detective look for him.

Although attempts to mimic ritual magic, etc. have been found, most of them had failed.

The art of lifting ordinary people up to heroes is widespread in the form of uncertain rumors.

However, the key method remained unknown.

because the sub-gods obliterated it without leaving any evidence.

It seemed worth the effort he made.

As for the occasional technique of success, only in that case did I go and destroy it.

By the will of the world, or by reason I don't know, the art is about to come into being.

Not at all alarming.

Techniques such as artificially generating heroes should not have existed.

It is bound to cause chaos in the world.

It could also develop into new racial discrimination.

It is also my role to coordinate power relations between countries.

A situation where you can optionally add more heroes greatly overshadows that power relationship.

That's why we needed to deter it.

Fortunately, there is no sign of a radicalisation of developments in each country.

After much damage in a series of wars, their power is depleting and they are beginning to exhaust.

For the time being, it seemed to be dedicated to replenishing the forces of war and stabilizing the national forces.

Continuing the war requires a great deal of effort.

It was extremely difficult to continue without being able to achieve any results such as this.

Their dissatisfaction will also increase because it will impose a burden on the people.

If distrust increases too much, the survival of the state will be jeopardized.

When it came to what countries won throughout, it was about the territory of the Republic.

It is also in such a way that the Demon King's Army deliberately defeated and pushed.

The territory of the Republic was temporarily administered in divisions in each country.

However, the position of the enclave and the chaos of war have neglected governance and have now left it half abandoned.

As a result, people living there were forming their own system of municipalities.

Luciana's standpoint says he will soon be reborn into a new state.

For the record, the Land of the Holy Wand and the Land of Magic, which carried out ritual witchcraft, were exterminated.

It was greatly damaged by the war against the demonic kings, and even defused by dissatisfaction and pressure from the people.

A revolution broke out in both countries after it led to war through impersonation of responsibility.

That's how it became a new nation after its de facto demise.

It is quite turbulent because these events took place in only six months.

It would be a slight change in the demonic kingdom or something.

I was surprised at the time it was founded because I thought it would be muddy and a long-term problem.

It's good that you saved me the trouble of intervening.

Various things had happened all over the continent in this way.

However, if we broaden our horizons and look at it, let's say it's not a bad situation.

Though there have been some sacrifices, hostility between nations has diminished.

Even more, he was consolidating his policy of crusading the Demon King.

I want to keep it at this rate.

The only problem I have right now is with the agents.

The director should be able to grab the thread within a few days.

I'll wait for a progress report while I investigate under the water, too.
