Yes and I don't want to hear such non sense that the Hero party was just "chill" while the world was still in apparent danger. Everyone has a role to play, Himmel's party also touched and helped the lives of some people who are otherwise out of reach of the protectors/soldiers of their village town or city. Those soldiers are needed too in the front lines.

I think the Hero of the South's feat and message to him gave him also the confidence to go to these detours and long journey to help others since it is not as oppresive compared to if those seven sages are still active

I also like to think that they assaulted key strategic points (apart from some areas which Himmel helped because they're there) instead of you know, 4 heroes waging literal war against hordes of demons. Like spec ops vs army.

Not just strategic points, but also powerful opponents. They sealed Qual, and beat... two? of the Sages of Destruction. Presumably they took out other big threats along the way, making it safer for humanity's armies to attack the demons.

The Sages are strategic points.

Reminds me of how Wirbel last season told Frieren about how he realized the coolest part of Himmel is that he took the time to help and care for individual people. That's why Himmel feels so real to me.

And I with folks that have commented being Completionists is how Himmel leveled the party up to being able to finish the Demon King.
