Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 1237 - 336: The Return of the Players

"The premise of our gathering back then was to prevent the Iber Federation from ascending so smoothly on the Shenhua Continent, not to see you vying for this power and that interest at each meeting."

At today's meeting site, someone finally couldn't withstand the pressure brought by the Helois Monarch, grabbing their hair and letting out a painful wail: "Had I known that monster could escape from the Star Realm so quickly, we would have acted sooner."

The crowd looked at this despondent key member of the Anti-Iberian Federation Alliance, feeling increasingly troubled.

They haven't even started fighting yet, and the morale is already about to scatter.

Rather than saying they oppose battling Helois Monarch, it's more accurate to say they oppose losing.

Just listen to what he's saying; for this guy, he's never actually troubled by confronting the actions of Helois Monarch but rather by the fact that he couldn't gain enough benefits. Paying for benefits not yet in hand is what they are most unwilling to accept.

Honestly, if Kael knew about the existence of these guys, any single one of them would end up being put in a factory to be turned into non-soap.

"Think of a solution. The current situation is that if we continue this way, one day we will be discovered by Helois Monarch. You don't want to be purged by Helois Monarch when that happens, right?"

A member of a faction spoke out painfully.

They initially thought they could reap profits while it's hot, unite around the Helois family's industry chain for a great share, and feed themselves well. Then even if their actions were exposed later, they could still unite driven by interests to become the vanguard against pressure...

The premise was that they could smoothly execute their plan.

Everyone gaining a bit essentially means that when Helois Monarch arrives, everyone becomes part of a shared community of interests.

Only interests could bind everyone together to resist the enormous threat from the King of Mages.

However, the situation seems to have changed a bit now. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

They haven't even had time to carve out the most valuable portion from the Lancaster Territory to enrich their forces before being suppressed by the prematurely returned Helois Monarch.

Merely in terms of pure power calculation, there's currently no rival on the Shenhua Continent who can contend with the Helois Monarch.

They even need the help of those Totem eyes that are about to fly into the sky to recreate the miracle named "Protection" of the King of Mages, let alone dealing with a deity.

"Ladies and gentlemen... Something, something has happened!"

A faction member, who had been using the Mage Net to contact something, suddenly let out a somewhat panicked cry at the meeting table.

Everyone involuntarily shivered, thinking for a moment that Helois Monarch had already arrived.

Seemingly growing a bit awkward under everyone's sudden glances, he paused, then showed a slightly confused expression on his face:

"Something has happened, the people of Charrsia... no, the people of the King of Mages, have reappeared."

The crowd was briefly stunned, slowly showing a question mark on their faces.

"What, what's this?" someone asked in a low voice.

"The people of Charrsia, such an ancient term! Weren't they those madmen widely active in Englanse Duchy a dozen years ago?"

"If I remember correctly, they seem to have the ability to resurrect. At the time, many in the forces internally sought cooperation with these Undead for research. How come they reappeared in the world after all these years?"

"Darn it, can someone tell me whether the King of Mages has now mastered this resurrection technology? If he continues, I might not be able to resist surrendering."

"Oh, come on, back then, you all knew the state of Charrsia's people well enough; they're quite far from what we understand as true Undead."

…

…

Meanwhile, within the Iber Federation, a group was gathering together.

Caesar looked at Kael, somewhat puzzled, and said:

"How did you obtain control rights over these Undead from the Earth Mother God? I remember when the people of Charrsia descended, many coveted them. I didn't expect you now possess this technology."

Kael leisurely sipped tea, chuckling lightly: "I didn't acquire this technology; I merely inherited a substantial amount."

"Related to the Divine War?"

"Somewhat, but not entirely. You should actually have vaguely guessed something by now. Rather than calling them the people of Charrsia, it would be more apt to label them as members of the Human Federation." Kael raised his head to look at Caesar.

Caesar thought for a moment, saying, "If that's the case, a lot of previously unconnected information can be linked together."

"Are you referring to the Silver Guard Army?" Kael inquired curiously.

"Mm, after over two hundred years, news about the Silver Guard Army has become a legend. Aside from us who have been active on the continent since before the federation's establishment, there aren't many who truly understand them."

Caesar shook his head and sighed: "If you put it that way, I can understand. Those Silver Guard Army should be spirits that emerged from historical echoes generated from some civilization whose traces have been completely erased.

As for the so-called Undead..."

Caesar looked at Kael, ultimately smiling and saying, "We can only say that the Chaos Source Essence indeed has an artful might, allowing you to achieve this extent."

Kael smiled slightly, not elaborating.

Some truths about the Human Federation don't need to be known by so many people.

"In any case, I'll try my best to control the influence brought about by their renewed activity." Kael looked around at the crowd, who all nodded in agreement.

"From now on, no need to call them the people of Charrsia. It would be better to refer to them as Undead now." Caesar smiled and said, "The situation within the Iber Federation is complicated; indeed, it requires entities like them to stir things up."

Kael nodded in agreement.

In the past half year within the territory, Kael has gained considerable understanding of the current state of the Shenhua Continent.

With the increase in the number of Floating Cities across the continent, the power disparity among various forces on the Shenhua Continent has undergone earth-shattering changes.

Owning a Floating City allows the adjacent lands to rapidly grow strong within a very short time. It's no exaggeration to say that if a small power obtains a Floating City gifted by a major power, they have a chance to quickly expand their territory, using the Floating City's power to alter the Dungeon ecosystem.

Not to mention, the Duchy of Englanse, now owning five Floating Cities, has completely evolved to another dimension. Several rounds of assault on Dungeons, long unconquerable for years, have been launched thanks to the industrial chain extended from Floating Cities and the power they provide, further expanding territories and resources.

Particularly the resource-rich Lancaster Territory, which speaks for itself. If AO hadn't chosen self-erasure to integrate all historical echoes of the Human Federation into its domain, Lancaster Territory could have been even mightier.

"In any case, it's good to be back."

Kael's gaze shifted to the light screen on the table.

On the light screen, fragmented into over two hundred different sub-columns, each was continuously flickering with flowing streams of light.

Alongside the streams of light was a group incredibly familiar to Kael.

The people are the same, the players are the same, but for Kael, this already belongs to a new story.

"This is quite nice." Kael suddenly directed his eyes toward the Duke of Lion Heart and the Consul.

The two seemed puzzled.

Kael's lips slightly parted, softly saying, "By the way, you two esteemed seniors, in about a week, I'll be holding a wedding in Lancaster."
