Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 1199 - 318: Autonomous Puppet 2A, Aister the Spirit of the Floating City

"A powerful 'Legendary' Mage? But it seems that because he is a Magic Monarch, his actual power is significantly greater than an ordinary legend."

"Your father never became a 'Legendary' Mage, and you call this decent strength? Ah, reaching 'Legendary' far exceeds my expectations for you, and besides, who told you Helois is just a legend?"

"Father, things are different now than they were back then. In recent years, the number of Legendary Mages born has increased several times over. This is the golden age of mages, and it's quite normal to take flight in such an era."

Amphi sighed and said, "You're thinking too much. Others have accumulated and burst forth, kicking open the door to legend at the doorstep of the golden age, but that doesn't mean you have that ability.

The legendary mages of the previous era, especially those Magic Monarchs, were far more terrifying than you imagine. Before the golden age arrived, the Monarchs who pushed open that door through their own power were undeniably prodigies.

Those who soar upward on paths pioneered by others, how dare they compare themselves with the pathfinders? Don't be fooled by some idiots who have just been promoted and lost their way amid others' flattery.

And why do you think Helois is a legend? That is a living King of Mages!"

"The old books recorded it back then; it's impossible for someone to rise to above a Demigod level in just a few years." Rayleigh snorted, "And he is the Lord of Titan Floating City, the adopted son of our governor, and the next heir to the Duchy of Incerlance."

"And then?" Amphi said patiently, "These are all factual realities, and magic talent isn't transmitted through X. So, in your heart, what kind of person is he?"

This time, Rayleigh hesitated and after a while scratched his head and said, "Someone whose special status and position, during the friction between our Yibel Federation and the Holy Briania, was the first Lord targeted by the Holy Briania.

I'm not saying I don't like him; he's a great person. I just think that what he has achieved is not entirely his own merit, but the effort of countless others. The tears of the strong should not be more concerning than the lives of the weak.

Over the years, the Federation has also had many mages and even ordinary people sacrifice themselves to protect everyone's interests, yet the reputation they earn is not even a tenth, no, not even a millionth of Helois."

After he finished, he emphasized: "In fact, many people think the same way in the 'Weave'."

Upon hearing this, a slightly broader smile appeared on Amphi's face. He patted Rayleigh's shoulder, paused, and said, "I'm glad you can let go of your prejudices and think this way, but I believe he is worthy of the title of hero, not just because he defeated gods."

Rayleigh shook his head in denial: "But father, if Helois is truly a hero, why are there still so many rumors and gossip about him in the Federation?"

Amphi said calmly, "Child, whether or not Helois is a hero to the world needs history to judge, but being a hero to the Federation is without question.

Don't ask what contributions he has made; his greatest contribution was not compromising."

Seeing the defiance on Rayleigh's face, Amphi gently told him:

"Not everyone has the courage to withstand the Holy Briania and the divine entities backing it, without ever retreating. As a Lord with an independent Floating City, he had no obligation to defend the frontier and never retreat.

If he chose to compromise, no one could fault him. The conflicts between the 'Yibel Federation' and 'Holy Briania' and the gods are not new. I, for the safety of the Floating City and my own life, would choose to retreat and return home as soon as possible. With the governor in place, no one would trouble him.

But if he retreated, countless Lords of the Federation and members of the Floating City Alliance would also retreat.

As the 'Yibel Federation' enters a standoff with 'Holy Briania,' there are 329 Lords like him stationed at the Federation's frontier, and 30 members of the Floating City Alliance.

And Helois, as one of the earliest members of the Floating City Alliance, was also the first Lord targeted by the Holy Briania.

If he retreats, what should those 328 other Lords do?

If he retreats, what should the members of the Floating City Alliance do?

First, if the Federation's core members can't hold out, what qualifications do the subsequent Lords have?

Second, if the creators of the Floating City Covenant can't hold out, why should the Magic Monarchs hesitate again?

Therefore, if Helois and his Floating City don't stand firm, then the Federation's Lords and the Covenant's Magic Monarchs would fall in droves, either disheartened, siding with Holy Briania, or directly being harvested, and no one could say otherwise." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

At this point, Amphi looked at the dead-silent Floating City with a trace of longing in his voice:

"Child, a Lord is not a soldier and won't have generals forcing you not to compromise and to hold the front lines without retreat. Helois staying in this area, even when besieged by the Evil God, without leaving, doesn't bring new resources or inventions to the 'Yibel Federation'?

No, it's simply not leaving, but that is enough."

His gaze turned toward the opposite shore. He had already left that region with his Floating Fortress towed by a War Flying Dragon. Looking from afar, he touched his chin and spoke about the Titan Floating City suspended above the sea:
