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

It's been about twenty days since the trial of the Golem, but there's still no big move in the Magic Country.

Is it enough that relations with the Holy Cane Country have become sinister and occasional skirmishes?

It is also just a small battle.

Originally, the two countries were not good friends, and that only surfaced.

It's just an event to the extent that you don't have to worry about it.

For the record, in any battle, the Magic Country was victorious.

The Cane Nation only adds harm to mischief, while trust from the people is lowered.

As it is, will it perish before the demon king's army intervenes?

Covert detectives say they see signs of rebellion in the country.

The Cane Nation is forced to make great choices.

Let's call it some kind of transition period.

I'm going to pay attention to what aspects it's going to change.

Most importantly, so far, it didn't seem necessary for me to hand it out.

I'm not going to break my static position.

On the other hand, the Magic Country was creepily grown up.

I'm also letting a secret detective look for it, but there's too much confidential information.

I understand that they carry out various research and development.

But we don't know anything about weapons unless we risk it.

For that reason, he had made it maintain a policy of prioritizing the safety of personnel and not forcing them.

I don't even hear about the demonic kingdom attacking the demonic kingdom.

They are now strengthening the defenses of each city.

Perhaps you are prepared for the invasion of the Demon King.

We also discussed it with executives, but reached a similar conclusion.

I mean, from the other side, the attack is less willing to launch.

It's only about my country first and curb useless damage.

Not a bad decision.

I don't consider that a coward.

What reckless behavior entails has been shown so far by the countries that have sacrificed it.

However, the Magic Country is not just committed to defense.

From the track record of lending a hand to the Empire to lead the demon cannon to implementation, it was likely that he was developing a weapon against the Demon King.

I guess the Demon King crusade is also in perspective.

They didn't run into defense for no reason.

Rather, its nature is cunning.

We've been measuring our power without contaminating our own hands.

I am now thorough with the leaps and defenses, but I wonder if they will invade at once at a stage where I am sure of the victory.

Attention needed to be paid to trends in the cane country.

(In some cases, maybe we should start an ambush here...)

Even if we don't destroy them, we'll do a lot of damage to the Magic Country.

Stall the technological skills of the Magic Country, which continues to make a glaring leap, to cut off the extra element of anxiety.

I don't really want to run it, but keep it in one corner of my head as one of the means.

You can't do a lot of damage to the Demon King's realm with bad dedication.

I learned in the battle against the Virgin.

I had to make a decision worthy of it more than I would have saved my subordinate's life.

Thinking about the two countries, there was a rushing footsteps from outside the room.

I've been through this many times already, so I know who it is.

Shortly after, the door between the glances opened with momentum.

It's still Grom that's rolling in.

"Demon King, it's tough! It's an emergency!

"What's up?"

"And the Empire has vanished!

Grom reports out loud.

When I heard that, I accidentally put my finger on my forehead.

I feel like a headache.

(When the Empire is extinguished...?

It's more serious than I thought.

What the hell happened?

The imperial capital was now in the midst of reconstruction and was not even in a situation where other countries were likely to attack.

Furthermore, the imperial capital is also located in the central part of the territory.

It is impossible that the Empire will suddenly perish, beyond the need to invade vast areas in order to destroy it.

In the first place, Grom used the expression extinction.

Even if the armies of other countries have achieved aggression, I feel that the language is inaccurate.

With all sorts of questions passing through the back of my brain, I urge Grom to continue.

"... talk more"

"Ha! Got it"

Grom, who opened the report, explains the situation chronologically.

It was this morning that the Empire was extinguished.

According to the undercover detectives, it became a desolate land where only debris remained.

It is not an invasion by another country.

Or so, some sort of magic experiment didn't fail either.

Apparently, the annihilation of the Empire is due to the Great Spirit.

The Great Spirit is the generic name of the original Spirit who has supposedly watched the world over Tai Ancient.

Looking over this world, it would undoubtedly be close to the top.

Interpretation suggests that it may be regarded as a divine spirit.

There are multiple great spirits, even if they are known alone, each with a different host event.

They say that one of the pillars went wild this time.

However, the Great Spirit is usually in deep sleep.

It didn't happen rarely, and it basically penetrated indifference and non-interference with other organisms.

Historically, the Great Spirit has rarely appeared.

That is the extent to which mythology can emerge.

That was only one of the exceptions, although it may give shelter to heroes who have survived the trials.

In fact, there should have been no record of the Great Spirit manifesting itself in the last two hundred years.

Nonetheless, they wiped out the Empire this time.

I wonder how inspired it was.

"Are we figuring out what the origin is?

Grom, who was asked my question, drops his gaze on the report in his hand.

"Apparently, the Imperial Army has taken a secret stone from a site dedicated to the Great Spirit. That must have bought me anger. There's nothing you can do about it."

Grom mourns in a half-hearted manner.

I agree.

Apparently, the Empire lightly dyed its hands at the conduct that was supposedly contraindicated.

A secret stone is a crystal that encloses the power of the Great Spirit.

It has a tremendous amount of magic and for the Great Spirit it is what I cherish like my child.

Or so the Empire stole it.

It's even crossed the stage of touching the reverse scale.

The secret stone of the Great Spirit can be said to be the pinnacle as a catalyst for sorcery.

The Empire may have stolen it in an attempt to use it for some sort of technique.

Whatever it was, it didn't make a foolish difference.

The territory of the Empire is vast.

There must have been some ruins dedicated to the Great Spirit.

But that is an area that should never be touched.

Maybe he was going to rebuild a declining country, but he's in too much of a hurry for anything.

There was so much recklessness.

Currently, the Great Spirit seems to be roaming the realm of the Empire.

They have occasional seizures and are waving ferocity all over the place.

Sooner or later I feared I would leave the country.

"The Imperial leadership is about to crusade, but they haven't been able to fathom it at all."

"Naturally. Different Legends of Being"

There is no way that a human army can rival the Great Spirit.

If I say so, even natural disasters outweigh us.

The idea of fighting is wrong.

"And what will you do...?

"Of course I'm going to stop it. I can't leave you alone."

I answer instantly.

As it was, the empire itself could perish.

The damage inflicted by the Great Spirit is immense, and he will do all he can to kill until his anger heals.

The direct cause is an empire that imitated foolishness, but it cannot be overlooked that their actions affect other countries as far as they go.

The power of the Great Spirit would inflict less destruction on nations.

The doomed country may also come out.

That would interfere with my ideals.

The foundation of world peace that has been built into the tunnel is shaken.

I couldn't have collapsed here.

The only enemy in the world is the Demon King.

Let's get rid of uncontrolled threats quickly.
