Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 533 - 199 Kael, I’m Absolutely Certain You’re Worth It (10K)

This thing had no effects whatsoever; it was merely an antique flag of special commemorative value, lacking even the basic effects of a normal curious item.

In the history of the goblin empire, this was the flag that the goblins first waved when they sounded the horn of rebellion, fighting for the right to live under the sun.

The only thing it could represent was that in the dark era before the goblin empire was established, it was the flag raised by the originators of the goblins to ensure a better life for their descendants.

If one had to say, placed at the initial stage of the goblin empire, it probably embodied the will of the goblins.

Due to the uniqueness of the goblin empire's specialty profession, the Mechanical Mage, the development direction of the entire goblin empire was, in fact, more inclined toward the field of Magic Technology.

Therefore, they would never turn their flag into a more lasting curious item to be placed in a historical museum.

They chose to preserve it well, to witness the brilliant future of the new era of goblins on behalf of the older generation—perhaps this is also a unique kind of goblin romance?

Unfortunately, before the "Unyielding Banner" could be properly preserved with its decaying flagpole to witness the splendor of the goblin empire, this nation that had briefly dazzled in history stepped into the twilight and ultimately vanished into thin air.

One has to say, it really was a complete tragedy.

Logically speaking, this flag that possesses no transcendent effects and no special power should be worthless in the hands of the players.

But sometimes, the value of an object is not strictly determined by its utility.

In the desperate times when the goblin empire was on the brink of extinction, when more and more goblins had lost the will to resist the dangerous approach of the Alliance, some goblins brought out this antique once again.

Holding the still-intact Unyielding Banner as their emblem, they began to gather a large number of compatriots still willing to fight for the goblin empire and blew the horn of attack once more toward the Alliance—they called themselves the Twilight Guardian Army.

If the initial goblin heroes waved the flag and fought until the Day of Dawn of the empire, then the last goblin heroes were borrowing just a bit of the will of their predecessors to launch the final counterattack. They were the last stand of the goblin empire's twilight... That was probably the idea.

In a past life, members of the Strange Power Chaos God Guild, itching for some action, easily broke into this Dungeon in the Orean Independent Kingdom, and among other things, they acquired this flag.

For a long time, this flag collected dust in the storage of Strange Power Chaos God until on one extremely rare occasion, a player brought it into a historical echo-type Dungeon at the end of the goblin empire's era, and a little accident occurred.

They gained the identity of an "Emissary of the Twilight Guardian Army," and in that end-of-empire Dungeon, they very smoothly gained the trust of the goblin side.

...

The next day.

On the road to the Royal Capital of the Orean Independent Kingdom, Kael and Old White, already in disguise, looked travel-worn as if they really were travelling merchants who had been wandering for a long time, exuding the earthy and desolate air of merchants.

"So, young master, you need that 'Unyielding Banner' as your token to completely secure the support of some higher-ups in Wandong City?"

Old White, who was riding a cumbersome monster-drawn cart, wielded the soft whip in his hand, urging the monster to quicken its pace.

Old White didn't ask Kael how he had come across this information, as he figured that with the excessive amount of knowledge his young master absorbed daily, it would not be unusual if he had uncovered secrets from some text.

Lying in the back of the cart amongst the piled goods, Kael lifted his head and said, "Pretty much. Based on the information we got from the Undead, the factions inside Wandong City can't agree with each other.

If we really want to side with the goblin empire and reap the sweet fruits after conquering the Dungeon, then we must attend to every detail, for instance, first catching the attention of the core members among Wandong City's upper echelons."

As per the opinions investigated by the players, within the Wandong City Goblin United Council, the primary factions included the resistance faction wanting to "perish together with the surrendering faction and the enemy," Dr. Osborne's led escape faction advocating "protecting the goblin lineage and entrusting the future to trustworthy youth," the surrender faction that proposed "complete surrender and abandonment of resistance," the strategic faction planning "to deter through strategic means," and some opportunistic factions.

If Kael directly chose to participate in the Dungeon, he would most likely become, just like in the initial conquest, the core fighting force that the resistance faction firmly supported.

But since he wanted to unify the voice of Wandong City as swiftly as possible, it was essential to immediately woo the escape and strategic factions, eliminate the surrender faction, and consolidate the scattered opportunistic factions.

If it was like the first round of conquest, where he sluggishly waited for Dr. Osborne of the escape faction to cautiously probe his stance, the time taken would be enough for Keldor to make several arrangements.

Kael had no time to waste so much effort on maintaining relationships, nor could he afford to spend even a tiny bit of extra time explaining to the escape and strategic factions, so he needed support, support that would gain him the trust of the higher-ups.
