Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 1249 - 342: Want to Try Becoming a Lord?

"I thought this item was just an ordinary task item, so I always kept it in my space backpack without paying much attention." Everyone shrugged.

This time everyone went out for a somewhat interesting task, originally intended to experience life together, far from those club players who calculate carefully for every outing.

In fact, even those who have left their original club and switched to another club as Guarantors, are taking this task with a playtime mindset.

As the controller of the players, Kael naturally knows what items are in this group’s space backpacks. However, rather than taking them secretly, he prefers players to voluntarily hand over items, which aligns more with his requirements.

Forcing players to do things comes at a cost.

Once or twice is okay, but when done excessively, players start to slack off, which can be quite troublesome for him.

"We’ve acquired the tracking gemstone, which will make it easier to find those hidden behind the scenes. Everyone, you’ve been a great help." Kael said with a light smile.

"What is this thing used for?" Curiosity showed on everyone’s face.

Kael didn’t hold back and directly explained the current internal situation of the Yibel Federation.

"In short, although the Yibel Federation has become stronger now, intentionally or unintentionally, it has dismantled the position Holy Briania was fragmented into years ago, and started becoming potential enemies of various countries." After listening to Kael’s description, Sister Astate showed a sighing expression.

"Sister Astate, it seems your memories linger in those days on the Holy Mountain of Holy Briania, in the heretical court of the Dawn Lord Church, right?" Kael said with some nostalgia, "Even though this event happened not too many years ago, it feels like it’s across two worlds."

Sister Astate smiled and said, "Indeed, it feels like ages ago."

"Any thoughts on what you’ll do next?" Kael asked again.

Everyone looked at each other, perplexed about what Kael meant by "thoughts on what to do next," but instinctively felt an opportunity had arrived.

"Does the Lord have any ideas about our upcoming actions?" I Love Xiaoyi skillfully tossed the question back to Kael.

Kael didn’t feel embarrassed, pondered for a moment, and said, "Are you interested in vying for becoming a minor lord on the frontier?"

Everyone was momentarily stunned, then delighted, "Is that really possible?"

"Of course, the Ingkirans Duchy is about to be promoted; or to be more precise, we’ve been waiting for other duchies for a long time."

"Other duchies?" Curiosity showed on everyone’s face again.

Kael nodded and said, "Yes, the Yibel Federation is a coalition of several major duchies. In fact, years ago, the Ingkirans Duchy already had the strength to ascend to a kingdom.

But considering that the independent ascension to a kingdom could trigger an uncontrollable crisis whilst Holy Briania existed, it was directly halted back then.

Later, after we defeated Holy Briania, we absorbed a considerable amount of its legacy, and developed our strength at a speed far surpassing other nations.

At that time, for the Yibel Federation, it wasn’t suitable to allow more duchies to ascend to a kingdom, so it’s been delayed until now. Our strength can no longer be concealed and needs to further advance to attain a high enough status, to exchange for more favorable conditions and even global fame, prompting the Federation to decide synchronously promoting all duchies to kingdoms."

"Is enhancing from a duchy to a kingdom merely a change in title?" I Love Xiaoyi instinctively felt there’s more to it.

Kael shook his head and explained to them:

"It’s quite different, on this continent, for a duchy to ascend to a kingdom, it requires the coronation by the world will.

For a force ascending to a kingdom, they generally will split into two to three duchies underneath, during which the dungeon raiding difficulty of the duchy itself will decrease by 2-3 levels. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

This means that if there are sufficient surplus combat resources, the two or three newly divided-out duchies can swiftly raid enough dungeons.

By then, merely shortly after the duchies are established, they can raise the resources and development potential of each duchy by two tiers."

"Doesn’t this imply, as long as there’s enough developed combat power, they can expand endlessly generation after generation? Isn’t this a bit cheating?!" Empty Mountain Play was a bit dumbfounded.

This kind of unreasonable operation truly seemed outlandish to her.

However, Nasilia pondered and said, "No, something’s off with this calculation. After ascending to a kingdom, there likely isn’t another opportunity for further advancement.

Afterall, theoretically, the countries under the Yibel Federation can be duchies or kingdoms, but can’t possibly be empires, right? Reaching this point, the Federation can ascend no further."

Kael nodded, saying, "You’re right, upon this point, for further progress the Federation can only dutifully raid dungeons; you’ve stuck at a pretty decent time."

Thinking of this, Kael smiled and said, "Now, after the Ingkirans Duchy’s ascension to a kingdom, the original Ingkirans Royal Capital will separately serve as an institution governing the subordinate duchies, independently allocating the former Lion Heart Battle Group and one-third of the Royal Capital Mage Sanctuary’s bodies, industries and personnel to the Ingkirans Kingdom’s governance.

Meanwhile, the Federation Mage Sanctuary will function independently as a duchy, forming a mage country for the Federation’s future path opening, which we plan to call Ausse Duchy.

As the largest territory currently in Ingkirans and Lancaster, including the Second Mage Sacred Land, will also be separated out, forming Lancaster Duchy based on the entire Lancaster forces, Lancaster Mage Sanctuary, and all eastern frontier minor territories.

Apart from the original Ingkirans Royal Capital, Federation Mage Sanctuary, and Lancaster Territory, the remaining Lancaster territories will be unified altogether to form Knight Duchy."

Kael’s words caused quite a stir.

Who would have thought the Yibel Federation would have already developed to such an extent now.

In addition to their astonishment, everyone understood what Kael was aiming to do; Guarantor ll Human Soul’s eyes shone, saying sternly:

"So your idea is that since Lancaster Territory is about to be promoted to a duchy, even the original and surrounding territories with enough strength will ascend to a higher level, at which point a large number of new lord positions will be vacant, right?"

Kael nodded with a smile and said, "The cooperation between Lancaster Territory and the Undead has a long-standing history, with mutual trust sufficient between us. Therefore, I plan to allocate some of Lancaster’s newly promoted lord positions to Undead forces.

Of course, regarding the acquisition of territory by Undead forces, I must inform you not to overly exploit them, as Lancaster will still establish corresponding supervision mechanisms to oversee the management of territories under the control of Undead forces. Please be aware."

"That’s more than enough!" Everyone showed joyful expressions.

This situation is indeed an unexpected delight for them.

Many players have yearned for their own territories, yet in these past two years of playtime, not a single player guild or club has been able to gain reasonable real power territories from native residents, even becoming honorary nobles is scarce.
