Chapter 233: The Sage Picks Up an Abandoned Possibility
During the uprising of Saviors around the world, I was in a huge facility in the Previous Demon Lords Territory.
This was a place built for the Demon Lords Army.
It boasted a scale that allowed it to contain the bloating forces of the Demon Lords Army .
There was a training ground on the premises mimicking various environments.
It also stored saturated undead and weapons.
The forces stationed here alone were enough to bring down a single continent.
I was walking in the corridor of such a facility.
Henry was walking with me.
After we finished the meeting, we were roaming around the facility.
We were chatting while taking a break.
Both of us are busy people, but having time like this was important too.
Henry leaned back on his hand and complained with a troubled expression.
The frequency of actual battle is higher than training recently. While Im very satisfied with that, some people have begun demanding for vacation.
Ill allow it. Just take turns and give them vacation. If our forces end up insufficient during that period, I will do something about it.
Commander is quick on the uptake, its very helpful.
Henry said happily.
It was obvious that I would give permission.
Soldiers were humans after all.
A series of battles would naturally exhaust their body and mind.
Even I, as an immortal, was taking a break like this.
I had no intention to overwork them.
By the way, how are the simple guns on the battlefield?
Theyre almost perfect. Theyre especially useful in defense lines. They have less firepower compared to magic, but thats good enough. They can pierce armor without a problem and it didnt require much training to wield one. Ive made ghouls and skeletons wield them recently as well.
Henry stated so with satisfaction.
The simple gun we were talking about was a new weapon developed in the laboratory.
They were cheaper versions of a conventional gun.
Their overall performance was inferior, but it made them easier to mass produce.
Although I could solve most problems using magic, there were still many things that magic couldnt solve.
If I really could achieve everything, I wouldnt be a Demon Lord to begin with.
If you somehow come up with an idea, let me know immediately. Lets destroy the Will of the World together.
Okay. I will think about how to actually make it happen.
As I nodded to an enthusiastic Henry, a soldier came from the other side.
He saluted us and addressed Henry.
Blakin-sama! Its about time for the meeting.
Ooh, now that I think about it, we have a meeting.
Henry scratched his head and said that as he recalled.
He brought the soldier along to the end of the corridor.
On the way, he turned around and said a final few words.
Dont forget what I told you earlier, okay?
Of course.
Okay then, Ill take your word for it!
Henry pumped his fist and triumphantly left.
I was left there and paused.
While staring at the floor, I recalled the contents of our earlier conversation.
Killing the Will of the World, huh
I never thought about it like that ever since I learned of its nature.
I just concluded it was impossible.
It was an obvious decision.
However, that wasnt the case for Henry.
Should I have a more flexible way of thinking like he does?
It seemed that I was unknowingly trapped by common sense.
Fumu.
Eventually I started walking again.
While responding to various subordinates who saluted me as I passed by, I kept going through the corridor.
As I walked, I began exploring various events and their possibilities in my mind.
