Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 598 - 209: The Maids’ Slimes, Blossoming Celestial Element Fission (10K)_3

One could say that this group of Rangers had little experience dealing with humanoid creatures, but fighting monsters was a completely different story.

This time, Dan had taken the initiative to lead the team to join the Shadow Country military forces in battle, aiming to sharpen the skills of the rookies in his team who were not adept at fighting humanoid creatures.

Now, it seemed that the overall situation was fairly good.

With the protection of the Slimes, there was minimal damage in this close combat, and the goal of training the newcomers had been achieved.

Now, following Dan's instructions, many of the newcomers began to retreat.

Having a moment to breathe, the Infiltrator leader looked grimly at Elanna:

"What did you mean by what you just said?"

"Literally. The countries involved in this joint battle all ended up in a bad state," Elanna replied seriously.

"What happened on the side of Shadow Country?"

"The Abyss Gate opened in the Shadow Country, and the swarming Abyss Demons burned every piece of land in Shadow Country. It could be said that less than one in a million residents escaped from this land.

You heard me right, you no longer have a home."

Elanna's voice was flat, without any fluctuation, but the Infiltrator leader felt as if his blood had gone cold.

His voice hoarse, he said, "Holy Briania... Didn't Holy Briania send reinforcements?"

"They did send help, but the main force arrived several days later than planned.

It is said that a few of the pontiffs in Holy Briania thought that this was a 'divine punishment' for Shadow Country's deviation from their plan and that they shouldn't intervene immediately.

By the time the Church's main forces arrived, a significant portion of Shadow Country had already been consumed by the Abyss, cut off from the continent of Divinity, and pulled into the Abyss."

"On what grounds?" the Infiltrator leader muttered bitterly, his eyes reddened as he spat out a mouthful of blood. "We had treaties, Shadow Country joined the multinational Alliance, and they were supposed to ensure that my country, located at the rear, would not suffer invasion!"

"There are many reasons! At that time, it wasn't just your Shadow Country that was affected. The Denis Underground Tomb, the Elves' Supreme Forest, and the Dwarf's Molten Furnace Castle all faced some impact.

Only, compared to rescuing the Elves and Dwarves, rescuing Shadow Country wasn't seen as that important, since you weren't their primary focus, and there wasn't much they were willing to sacrifice for you.

Besides, the Church had sufficient reasons not to intervene immediately, whether in terms of numbers, influence, or other aspects. The benefits that Shadow Country and the Underground Tomb could offer were obviously not enough..."

Elanna had learned about this while she was assisting Kael in investigating the relevant information.

"So what exactly did we protect?"

The Infiltrator leader could accept his own death, and even the deaths of his subordinates, in this war, provided that their deaths could lead to a period of peace.

According to this woman, not long after their deaths, the country they had desperately tried to protect had become part of history.

Even... just listening to her description, the Infiltrator leader could imagine the cries of anguish intertwined with the scent of blood.

Those were the screams of the family members they had fought so desperately to protect.

Unconsciously, the breaths of the group of Infiltrators began to quicken.

"So essentially, you no longer have a need to fight," Elanna sighed.

Countless families had perished in the demon invasion, reduced in historical documents to a mere insignificant number, but the hidden anguish and torment were not something an outsider could easily understand.

"So what? Even if we no longer have a reason to fight, it doesn't mean we should join you, does it?

If this truly reflects historical resonance, if you want to successfully complete your conquest, either choose to kill us or assimilate us...

I don't see why we need to be assimilated by you."

Knight Dan scoffed and said, "Isn't being alive good?"

The Infiltrator leader shook his head and said, "To some degree, being alive is just as painful for us."

"Then let me give you a reason... perhaps, a counterattack against the Abyss?"

The Infiltrator leader paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, saying, "You truly are a noble's daughter, no wonder you can foster such a naive child who is unaware of the dangers.

Do you know what you're talking about? That's the Abyss, almost no one can return from there. The pie you're drawing is too abstract."

Elanna shook her head, sighed, and said, "So it seems that in your era, there wasn't yet the tradition of Abyss hunting, huh!"

Times are a spiral of ascension. Hundreds of years ago, the opening of an Abyss Gate inevitably brought disaster to the entire continent.

However, hundreds of years later, top-tier countries are actually not so afraid of the Abyss anymore; in fact, they periodically send a batch of top fighters and elite troops to participate in the Abyss Blood Battle, enjoying the spoils through special methods.

It is even said that top-tier powers like the Yibel Federation have already established their own enclaves in parts of the Abyss.

Saying it as a counterattack against the Abyss is not wrong, in fact."

The pace of future development, especially when viewed over centuries, had advanced faster than the Infiltrator leader could have ever imagined.
