Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

But...

Kael knew what that thing was.

On the other hand, Old White's face showed a look of deep concern as he said,

"Young master, the Titan Clan is an extremely dangerous existence, far beyond what normal professionals can handle.

Shall we first use the communication device to have the townsfolk and villagers around the Lancaster Swamp, as well as the Rangers, fall back?"

Kael nodded but then, after pondering for a moment, shook his head and said,

"Grandpa White, let the Rangers organize an orderly retreat for the townspeople and villagers, but as for the Titan Giant, it's really nothing to worry about, let the Rangers stay...

After all, it's just a dead little thing."

"A dead little thing?" Old White's eyes lit up, "Do you know the specific details about that thing?"

"Hmm, a long time ago, the tribe had captured a premature infant of a Titan Giant. I'm not sure which immoral Titan abandoned its child right after giving birth, leaving it near the tribe, and later, it was taken away by a chief."

"Even if it's just a premature infant with congenital defects, isn't that still an extremely dangerous being?"

"Hmm, if it were a living Titan Giant, of course, we would need to be careful in dealing with it, since Titan Giants that have lived through countless long years and grown up have an average destructive power at the Legendary Stage. But...

Kael said this with a laugh.

No one knew better than him the farcical scene the Titan Giant had later caused.

If it were a normal Titan Giant, even an adult Titan Giant whose remains were awakened as a "Titan Undead War God," Kael would've chosen to have his Rangers retreat immediately.

Because the Rangers truly couldn't withstand such monsters, and across the entire continent, probably only professionals at the Legendary Stage and above could possibly intimidate that creature...

After all, in normal circumstances, an adult version of a Titan Giant is basically half the height of the tallest peak on Blue Star.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them moving mountains.

If I remember rightly, during the old era of the Human Federation, there was a comic that was once very popular—hot in the middle and then dropped off at the end—that specifically narrated the relations between a clown emperor and giants. It effectively demonstrated the horror and intimidation giants inflicted on ordinary people through their massive size.

And who could have expected the comic to conclude with a classic "Watch closely, Allen, this is how you use Mikasa," a typical ending favored by the quite content manga artist.

Despite that, even if the story ended on a disappointing note, you can't deny the impact that the comic and its anime adaptation once had on fans. The terrifying image of the distant giants, every time you go back to watch it, inadvertently triggers a deep fear of massive beings within people.

But... the terror inspired by the Titan Giants is far more dreadful than those muscle-exposed giants.

That is, if...

They are adults and still alive.

"As for the tribes, you must have some understanding of their internal ecology, Grandpa White. They worship objects of massive size, which is why in earlier years, those Totems were crazily revered by them as deities.

But ultimately, a tribe is nothing more than a loose alliance, a conglomerate of Barbarians who, when facing the intimidation of powerful nations, have no real choice but to band together for warmth."

"If the tribe had actually produced a truly outstanding leader, they might have had a chance to become one of the threats to the Yibel Federation, rather than being the rabid dogs that the Sacred Briania has driven to our borders, howling madly."

"That is to say..." Old White understood Kael's point and pondered thoughtfully.

"Yes, an adult Titan Giant that still stands on the side of the tribe would indeed pose a strong deterrent. Given the practices of some churches in the central Sacred Briania, how could they allow their dogs to possess such a powerful deterrent weapon?

So soon after the tribe got their hands on the prematurity of the Titan Giant, there was a tendency within the tribe, leaning towards Sacred Briania or perhaps even directly nurtured by them, who passed on this intelligence.

Then...

Bang!!!

Not long after this message was disseminated, what the tribe had considered the next era's war machine to aid their rise, that very 'premature' entity, stopped breathing."

"Undead?" Grandpa White laughed, his eyes cleared of concern in an instant, and a sharp murderous intent flickered through his normally gentle gaze, "Just because of that, how dare they?"

Kael chuckled lightly and said, "Of course they dare, because this time they are just jumping out trying to seek help from the Sacred Briania. Of course, perhaps these clueless fools also harbor some rather far-fetched delusions."

"Such as?"

"Attempting to kidnap me, using me as leverage to demand that the Lion Heart Duchy hand over the White Bone Christmas Tree to them."

"Indeed, as you have said, my lord, there could be that reason."

Old White nodded in agreement.

If they could directly use the young Titan Giant as an undead, it indicated that at least the tribe had shamans who were adept in the ways of death.

It was rumored that among the shamans of the Barbarians, there were those who possessed a forbidden spell, which could accelerate growth by transferring the power of one lifeform to another of the same essence through equivalent exchange.

There were always some among the Barbarian group who would control ancient monsters that required a long time to cultivate, and those Barbarians who could manage such creatures were not few in number when expanded to the entire tribe.

They relied on this very method of exchange.

Old White was also aware of this intelligence.

"So they are trying to kidnap the person from the Lancaster Duchy who is the most likely to become the Duke, and then use you, my lord, as a bargaining chip in exchange for an architectural marvel that, aside from serving as a large defensive base, isn't of much other use to the Lancaster Duchy?"

The thought is quite beautiful indeed... Has your intelligence network learnt about the specifics?"

Cough cough...

Kael coughed subconsciously.

Aside from the player rats, he truly didn't have an intelligence organization powerful enough to conduct cross-nation investigations under his command.

The only reason he knew this intelligence was because, after the destruction of the Lancaster Duchy in his previous life, the tribe immediately tried to ride the Titan Giants to raid the architectural marvel of the Royal Capital of the Lancaster Duchy.

Then...

They were directly beheaded by the Angel Leader of Sacred Briania.
