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

But Kael knew all too well that many things did not change according to his will.

Like the Priests from the Dungeon who followed him here, they were not a concern.

Their faith stems from their recognition of the ideals of the Earth Mother God and the Lord of Dawn, so after arriving in Lancaster Territory, they had no other thoughts.

The goblins were beyond words, for in Kael's chosen alliance, to many of them, he was the one who lived with them in the Dungeon for decades.

Even those Rangers and Combat Maids who participated in the Dungeon raid retained memories about them.

This is, in a way, a restriction imposed by the world's will on the creatures from historical echo Dungeons.

With related memories of living together, for those who emerged from historical echoes, they are inherently unable to reject those who have always lived with them.

This is a core element for the native inhabitants of historical echo Dungeons to remain within the territory after merging with it.

Without this measure, most forces that conquered historical echo Dungeons could not retain those historical entities.

After all, through countless long years, these beings also had their own countries, races, and cherished ones.

Situations like Shadow Country, where almost no kin escaped, are, in fact, extremely rare.

Situations like the supreme forest of the Elf Ranger, existing in the world with much-reduced national territory and strength, are the most common.

Without the binding memory of living together, who knows how many races would strive tirelessly to rebuild their homes and help their races flourish again.

Stay in the territory of the Lord who conquered the Dungeon to serve strangers?

The possibility exists but certainly belongs to the minority.

This is why he used the self-sacrifice of the Commander, Adela, to instill concerns among the Elf Rangers.

Think about it, your leader paid such a great price for your better survival. Don't you feel a bit heartache and a willingness to be slightly at ease for your leader?

That is roughly the case.

Perhaps Kael hadn't realized that since his bloodline awakened, he seemed to have become more adept at such methods.

Considering for an Incubus, using their power to control others isn't much different from using emotional power to control others.

As long as he can achieve his ultimate goal, the method in the process is not that important to Kael.

It's neither a pure, exquisite self-interest nor an impractical, mindless altruism.

It's more of a dynamic balance of choices based on personal ideology and actual circumstances.

But doing so is one thing; some choices must be made to protect the core interests of the territory.

Yet the slight guilt in the heart is another matter.

The only promise Kael could make to those warriors truly standing on his side was to provide all the support he could give.

Hassaka, who had served Kael for a long time, knew well what kind of person her master was.

She had no intention of advising, just tiptoed to gently wipe away the sweat on Kael's forehead, and said with concern:

"Master, don't push yourself too hard; it will worry everyone."

After a pause, she continued: "Signs of life in the Magic Workshop have stabilized, and news that they can return to meet everyone soon—I'll go tell them later.

You just need to do your best to guide us in the direction we should go."

After speaking, Hassaka stood up and walked toward the emotionally agitated group.

Kael couldn't help but smile.

Since when did the girl, who liked the scent of Beacon Oil so much she would foolishly hold a bottle to sleep, grow to be this reliable?

He did not linger any longer and turned towards the direction where the injured personnel were.

...

For a while.

When Kael stretched and, feeling a bit drowsy, walked to the place where a group of people had been making noise, not much noise remained.

Even the excited young ones had significantly improved, and their emotions seemed to have mostly calmed down.

Seeing that her master had finished dealing with the injured and was heading her way, she was about to stand up to speak when Kael's warm hand gently ruffled her hair, then looked at the crowd and said:

"You should have already understood the current situation."

Kael walked directly to the crowd, meeting their expectant gaze and said:

"Hassaka is my close companion and understands my situation better than you. What she says is true and is what I personally told her.

She won't speak out of turn about things she doesn't know. You can trust her more...

After all, she can, to some extent, represent my will."

The crowd nodded in response.
