Chapter 209: The Sage Plans to Advance Further
That day, I was relaxing in a room in the castle.
It was an entertainment room that was set up a while ago.
Diella and Henry were in the room as well.
The two were sitting across from each other at the table with a serious expression.
On the table, there were boards evenly divided by a number of squares.
White and black pieces were arranged irregularly, and the two moved them alternatively.
This was a game that reproduced war at a reduced size.
It was something made using things from John Does memories, which was then independently improved by the executives.
As for the context, it was about the war between the Demon Lords Army and the human army.
The Demon Lords Army begins with a small number of pieces at the beginning.
However, they gain an undead unit when they defeat the enemy's unit.
By synthesizing the undead units, one could create a more powerful unit or revive the defeated undead.
In addition, some units have a characteristic that makes them only vincible by specific units.
By the end of the game, there would be an overwhelming number of units, making them a strong faction to overrun others, especially during the late stages of the game.
The human army, on the other hand, begins with a large number of units.
Many units have special moves, and there are also those which have special abilities.
Moreover, the more they were driven into adversity, the more likely they would awaken as heralds.
They were obviously strong during the start of the game, but they werent weak in the late game either.
Recently, this game was popular among the Demon Lords Army.
Everyone competed using various ingenuities.
It seemed to be a simple game at first glance, but this wasnt something to be underestimated.
It would foster peoples strategic minds, and became popular as it was learning while having fun at the same time.
Nunuu, this phase is
Hurry up. Didnt you say not to take a long time to think?
The battle between Diella and Henry was heated.
I paid attention to the developments on the board.
Those human nations received double the suffering.
The nations were providing relief and were working towards recovery.
Ironically, this seemed to create a good economic cycle.
People's lives seemed to improve because of it.
After the accident with the beasts, the Demon Lords Army sometimes traveled across the continent to invade.
However, it wasnt a full-scale attack.
These were merely attacks using the latest weapons to temporarily take control of the area.
And once the opposing army begins to counterattack, the Demon Lords Army would withdraw immediately.
However, the location might get occupied by us for a long time in some cases.
Nowadays, there were many places which were practically part of the Demon Lords Territory.
At the very least, those places were areas that were originally insecure and already had various problems.
We borrowed such a location and set it as an activity base on the other continent.
It was a factor that made each nation wary, but it didnt hinder the state-owned enterprise.
As a result, the number of nations that regarded the Demon Lords Army as dangerous had increased rapidly in the past year.
My life began to be targeted from outside the continent as well, but this was as according to my expectations.
On this continent, my actions have dramatically reduced the number of wars.
There was no war between nations, and people were trying to fight for justice instead.
I intended to do the same on the other continent.
I only hoped to achieve world peace.
I was finally able to see the realization of it on the horizon.
I would definitely achieve it for that persons sake as well.
NOOOOO-AAAAAHHH! Why I cant wiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn?!
Diellas scream brought me back from my thoughts.
She fell off the chair and shed tears of agony.
It seemed that she was defeated yet again.
As my thought process was interrupted, I scratched my temporal region with my fingertips.
