Kinda, they sacrificed themselves for "greater good", like most cults.The Saint is also hypocrite in a lot of way. She dared to imply that all the human sacrifices he made is unjustifiable, when she also killing humans(including her own allies) and wanted to call herself a hero by killing the demon lord.
What purpose it would serve a part maybe scaring a few peasants but gaining massive amount of those who would avenge the "martyr" and little to no care for those who created that "monster"?dude forgot to violate that delusional bich & show her corpse to the "holy" country as an example.
But he didn't believe that he hated humans, he just believed that he was doing it for themBut maaaaan. That BS she was spouting. And what if he hates mankind for killing his LI? Even in case only part of his justification is meant for real, as long as it is still part of his drive, his motivation, I say, "So what?" As long as it is working as intended in that justification, that's good enough. Who deears to say, that your motivation must always be 100% pure? It can be a mix, even if it might be an ugly one.
She wasn't pretending to be good though. She knew how selfish she was.The lich is the more honest one of those two. At least he's not pretending to be a good guy, unlike the saint. The lich also cares for his own troops, unlike the saint.
She was pretending to be a saint. By the word definition itself, a saint is supposed to be a good person. Plus she also wants to be called a hero, which, again, typically refers to a good person, as far as the ignorant masses on her own side are concerned.She wasn't pretending to be good though.

She had the title but wasn't behaving like one. There was clearly no intention of hiding her nature. When she sacrificed her subordinates, they didn't react like they were tricked into their roles. They were told to die for her sake.She was pretending to be a saint. By the word definition itself, a saint is supposed to be a good person.
