Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 1254 - 345: Molten Furnace Castle’s Response

The thoughts of the Forest Emperor were naturally unknown to Kael.

But for him, the Forest Emperor's thoughts didn't matter at all.

All he needed to do was to showcase his own power.

If Yibel were simply regarded as a whole entity, then he was now the sharpest weapon in this entity's hand.

In the early years when his strength was insufficient, he had to conceal his abilities. Now, as the Yibel Federation looked poised to reorganize the continent's order, hiding his strength was of no use to the Federation at this stage; it needed to demonstrate its deterrent power.

And Kael himself was the most direct and formidable deterrence.

In fact, this situation was not confined to the Supreme Forest.

It was the same in the Molten Furnace Castle.

...

[Location: Molten Furnace Castle·Dwarf King Palace]

The Dwarf Kings from major factions, such as Copper Beard, Ironbeard, and Warhammer, gathered quietly watching the Dwarf King, who sat in the center of the Dwarf King Palace, with a dense beard like steel bristles, leading the Dwarf Clan in reality.

"Your Majesty, all other leaders have arrived," a dwarf attendant said softly from the side.

The Dwarf King nodded, looking at the thirty-three Dwarf Kings from different factions below, and said in a deep voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you know why I urgently summoned all of you here today?"

A well-informed Dwarf King nodded, saying: "Your Majesty, it should be because of the Helois Monarch, I've heard from my spies that the Titan Floating City of the King of Mages possesses an astonishing number of Legendary Magic Statues."

The Dwarf King nodded and said: "You are right, or to put it more accurately, the number of Legendary Magic Statues in the Titan Floating City of the King of Mages surpasses the total number of Legendary Strongmen in our Molten Furnace Castle."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Dwarf Kings below began to change.

"Are you joking? Can a single Floating City really possess such a terrifying number of Legendary Magic Statues?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. According to this situation, does it not imply that a single King of Mages could easily destroy our Molten Furnace Castle?"

"Although I'm very reluctant to believe this fact, there is one thing that is certain." A Dwarf King sighed and said, "Given the current situation across the continent, the Helois Monarch has likely become the de facto strongest."

The dwarves sighed once more upon hearing this.

"Why are you sighing? What are you fearing?" The Dwarf King's warhammer crashed onto the alloy council table, breaking off a corner.

"Your Majesty, with the Yibel Federation and King of Mages blocking the way in front, and those covetous beautiful minds at the back, life hasn't been easy for the Dwarf clans all these years!"

"Do you mean to give up resistance?" the Dwarf King said silently.

A Dwarf King instinctively lowered his head, not daring to meet the gaze of the Dwarf King.

The Dwarf King, seeing everyone so dispirited, unhesitatingly said:

"All of you are Dwarf Kings of different factions, you should understand better that being behind doesn't necessarily mean getting beaten, but having a lot of resources while behind, means we will surely get beaten. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Others may not get beaten for being behind, but if we're behind at Molten Furnace Castle, we'll definitely get beaten."

The Dwarf King stood up, staring out of the conference room at the prosperous scene of Molten Furnace Castle, finally sighing:

"Because beneath the 7.4 million square kilometers of land, there is Mithril, brilliant gold, Magic Crystal Ore, and various minerals, making the incentive to attack us substantial.

Even without talking about these, the living space above ground alone is enough to make others envious.

The Supreme Forest is a nation that has coveted us for thousands of years, even though the identity of the elven era overlord has been taken away, at any moment they feel capable, they'll test us.

Especially now, the Supreme Forest is much smaller than at their peak, while we at Molten Furnace Castle now control more land, giving them a reason to try.

We are different from others, ladies and gentlemen.

Please don't forget, others may have the chance to kneel as dogs, we do not."

A Dwarf King nodded in agreement, saying painfully:

"My peers from various factions, although there may be some among you who have been at odds in recent years, and even have thoughts of division, I must emphasize, it's not wrong to kneel, but under one condition: that this 7.4 million square kilometers, with our 81 million kin of Molten Furnace Castle mastering vast forging techniques, is not a nation.

No one hopes for the Dwarf Clan to rise up again, not even the Yibel Federation, which has not set its sights on us anymore, also doesn't mind seeing our Molten Furnace Castle decline further!"

This is the tacit rule among almost all major nations.

The Dwarf King cast a painful look at those below, saying utterly seriously: "For any power on this continent, having a neighbor too large in one's own vicinity, no one wants.

Someone suggested, as a last resort, dissolve Molten Furnace, like the Supreme Forest did back then, splitting into those ridiculous Sunlight Elves, Moonlight Elves, High Elves, Drow Elves, and the like…
