Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 597 - 209: The Maids’ Slimes, Blossoming Celestial Element Fission (10K)_2

The Infiltrator leader's complexion suddenly changed, and he spat a poison needle from under his tongue, but before it could even get close to Elanna, it was cut off by a swipe of Hassaka's claw.

Hassaka's throat emitted a series of dull breathing sounds.

Daring to attack someone who was protecting their young lord so well, and doing it right in front of her, had begun to anger her.

What nobody expected was that the Infiltrator leader had no intention of using the "hidden-needle-under-tongue" assassination method to kill them.

He turned his head and sprinted away, picked up his weapon that had been knocked down by Elanna, and then turned to slash at his own neck.

He cried out, "For the honor of the Shadow Country!"

However, a crisp sound rang out, and a sword edge suddenly closed in, instantly snapping the Infiltrator leader's dagger in two.

A heavy blow thundered forth, and the leader, who had barely managed to muster a bit of strength from his body, was knocked off balance with precise and clever technique, causing him to stagger and fall to the ground.

"If you truly are fighting for the glory of the Shadow Country, then you cannot die,"

Elanna withdrew her fist, and beneath her burgundy hair were eyes as profound as the deep sea. She shouted loudly,

"You are Infiltrators, don't you find anything strange about this? Don't you feel that the place you're in right now is not the real world at all?"

"So what if it is, what if it isn't?"

The Infiltrator leader said with a wry smile.

"This is the Dungeon, an echo of history. The land you stand on is essentially just a piece of history that has already passed. Even knowing this truth, do you still wish to fight?"

The Infiltrator leader shook his head and said, "If it's an echo of history, then there's even less to say. For us Dead Pools, the world no longer has what we yearn for.

Under such circumstances, fighting to the death in the Dungeon is not an inappropriate choice."

Elanna snorted lightly and said peculiarly, "Do you really not care? In history, your legion of Shadow Country Infiltrators was indeed completely annihilated."

"Once we went to battle, we were prepared to face death."

"But you didn't protect your country!" Elanna said with a hint of irony, "The Shadow Country you sacrificed your lives to protect was already gone the year after the goblin empire's conquest ended."

"All Infiltrators, cease the fight!"

The Infiltrator leader roared, and the Infiltrators who had been fighting against the Shadow Garden and the night watchmen hesitated. Upon seeing their enemies also retreat half a step, they finally chose to follow the command, maintaining a defensive stance as they cautiously stepped back.

The Shadow Garden is now the formal organization of the maid brigade, currently under the jurisdiction of the Chief Maid Lin Hua.

At present, there are 47 members, each equipped with a Gluttonous Slime. Most of the time, the Gluttonous Slimes exist as part of the maids' undergarments.

Furthermore, due to strong opinions from Lin Hua and Hassaka, the Ranger's Slimes that automatically divided and spawned the second-generation Slimes were adjusted by Kael using Totem Power before they were officially born.

Well... It was essentially a direct forceful change, turning the Gluttonous Slimes from asexual beings into ones with genders, and the image of the Slimes was also "adjusted" from their original glob form to that of a Slime Girl.

Of course, there were suggestions from some maids to shape the Gluttonous Slimes into the image of Lord Kael, but this was sternly rejected by the Chief Maid Lin Hua.

It seems that because of this small modification, the players of Lancaster became frenzied, eager to join the Lord Mansion and take up the job of a mounted knight.

As for the night watchmen, they are a special combat squad transformed from the Rangers under Kael's command, originally led by Knight Captain "Dan." Their numbers have now surpassed 3,000, almost ballooning fifteen times from two years ago.

Among these new recruits, a small portion are newly empowered youth from within Lancaster Territory.

The majority, however, are nomads who have drifted here from various places,

particularly the group of immigrants from city-states affected by war that were brought over by the Earth Mother Goddess Church.

Those who survived were mostly the newly empowered and professionals from the city-states.

For the lords caught between the great powers, they are like wild grasses swaying in the storm, unable to find a haven and left with no choice but to lie flat and endure the torment by the powerful countries.

Therefore, the citizens from these city-states typically did not feel any attachment to the lands.

Wild grasses and barren lands clinging to each other; before finding a more suitable partner, having a brief period of stability was not bad.

But if war were to befall them, either the wild grasses would be consumed by the flames of war or manage to barely survive, hoping that some kind-hearted Church would be willing to take them in.

Well... Therefore, a considerable portion of the Rangers in the Lancaster Territory stem from this demographic.

Kael likewise did not turn away newcomers.

This Ranger squad initially targeted the Magic Beasts wandering within Lancaster Territory for attack,

hence most of their standard equipment included knight spears for fighting large Magic Beasts, bows and arrows for ranged skirmishing, and curved scimitars for close combat.
