Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 403 - 177: The Age of Embers (10K, please follow)_4
And those opponents, for the current Wandong City, really seemed ghostly and divine.
More troubling, Kael had witnessed similar situations not for the first time.
Over the past few years, in the face of top military forces to elite backbone crushing, goblins could be said to have been completely defeated.
Feeling... standing on their side seemed somewhat ineffective?
He felt he needed to think carefully about whether he really wanted to stand with these people.
Whether he could obtain the World Will reward or not, he didn’t want to doom all the Rangers in this city.
Kael took a deep breath, stood up, and said, "You guys keep talking, I’ll go up and look around."
Once he left through that door, he could vaguely still hear a trembling voice inside:
"We haven’t received broadcasts from other goblin territories in two months."
Kael’s body stiffened, and his steps leaving the conference room became much heavier.
Outside Wandong City, everything was lush and green.
In these years besieged by all races, with fewer human traces, the flowers, grasses, and trees had grown denser. Such irony, the goblin’s apocalypse turned out to be springtime for other lives.
Next to the city on the ground, the waters of Severn River flowed robustly and ceaselessly through Bristol Bay into the sea day and night.
Then he heard a burst of thunder.
A flash of lightning lit up the sky, followed by a torrential downpour.
Kael could only hear the howling wind and rain, and the cool rain falling on him wasn’t so comfortable.
He wiped his face and turned his gaze towards the lightless steel jungle, faintly noticing in those dark houses, pairs of uneasy eyes cautiously sizing up the outside.
This really was as bad a start as it could get.
Suddenly, a clanging sound of an iron lid falling came from a dark corner, and those pairs of prying eyes instantly disappeared without a trace.
Kael frowned, pulled out a pair of knuckle dusters from the weapon case behind him, and took two or three steps to the corner.
Under the old shop window advertisement, next to a crooked garbage can, a small figure seemed frightened, trying hard to curl up into the dark corner.
Kael slowed his steps, looking at the young human girl watching him fearfully, her eyes filled with panic, like a thief caught red-handed.
Not wanting to startle her, Kael spoke softly, "This time of night is not when someone your age should be out."
She retreated fearfully into the shadow, then realized there was nowhere to hide, her voice a little choked.
Kael sighed again, fumbled in his chest pocket for a long time, and finally pulled out a bag of sugared yellow peaches, hesitated, then walked over and placed it in front of her, "Eat this, it’s very sweet."
The sobbing in the corner lightened slightly; after a long while, fearful eyes cautiously peered through the gaps of her knees at the sugared yellow peaches placed before her.
She bit her lip, her small hands chilled by the rain, disregarding the numbness in her legs, picked up the small bag of sugared yellow peaches, carefully tore open the packaging, and ate it in a few bites, her cheeks bulging slightly, reluctantly licking the package a couple of times.
"Thank~thank you!"
"What’s your name?"
"Mira~"
"Wandong City’s nights are very dangerous, don’t run around."
Mira hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "I was very hungry."
"Wait here for a second," Kael said as he ruffled her hair, then swiftly entered the base; he quickly returned with a can by Mira’s side.
After hesitating for a while, he looked at the dark corner, handed her the can, and said softly, "Eat this, then go home and hide."
"Okay!" Mira nodded excitedly, opened the can, and started to eat in little bites.
Kael’s swallowing could not be heard over the heavy rain; after a long while, once Mira had finished the last bite, Kael extended his hand to her, "Come, I’ll take you home."

The little hand rested in his large palm, and Kael took her to the entrance of the low resettlement area building, "Go on."
"Thank you," said Mira softly as she walked back to the house and closed the door.
...
After dealing with a matter weighing on his heart, Kael walked heavily towards the harbor road.
At the end of the road was a sea barrier, with waves roaring, heavy dark clouds pressed above the sea, and the black water-like sea looked eerily sinister.
Kael looked towards the rocks standing in the black sea; that was the place "he" often trained at in Wandong City, precisely after recovering his memories.
Coming to this world was not without its benefits.
At least after acquiring the memories of this body, his grasp on hand-to-hand combat had significantly improved.
Since magic couldn’t be used due to the goblins’ constraints, he naturally preferred to leverage the advantages of close-quarter combat. Over time, he honed quite a decent physique.
Tsk tsk, although just a temporary body, it seemed to evolve in the direction of his original body’s future, didn’t it?
In this world, he had more intense training than in the real world, and being older allowed this body in Dungeon to be more fierce and less gentle...
It seemed to transform from pure beauty to being more austere.
And to think, Kael was quite satisfied with this body.

He threw his wet coat onto the ground, took off his shoes, and without minding the pain in his feet, jumped from the barrier down to the rocks below, his right foot secured on the rock, left foot curled up raised to the abdomen, his whole body leaning forward at a 70° angle.
