Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!
Chapter 737 - 232 Kael's Intoxication, Mechanical Might [Deep Space Throne]_4

But it won't be long.

The Barbarians directly mustered an army and charged into Lancaster, their overwhelming presence clearly signifying hostile intentions. Now having initially faltered, Kael preferred to call it a strategic retreat.

Once Kael's side had basically prepared the necessary items, or when the Barbarians felt that their spears and Wolf Fang Clubs were sufficient to break through Lancaster's armaments, a new round of conflict between the two sides would ensue.

The next wave of conflict wouldn't be like the first one, there wouldn't be as much reaction time for Lancaster.

No matter what intentions the Totem harbored in assembling the tribes from the northern wastelands for an attack, as beings that could once rival the gods, although unable to engage directly in battle due to the constraints of the world's will, Kael would also have to make thorough preparations.

The best outcome, naturally, would be to push the Barbarian's legion back over the mountains at the border of Lancaster Territory.

But if they couldn't be driven back, at the very least, a way to keep their main forces tied up around the Great Swamp had to be found, with the ultimate bottom line being to let the Barbarians hold the two resource points near the Great Swamp...

The premise was that their forces had already suffered a fatal blow before taking over, one that would entail severe bleeding and heart-wrenching pain.

This was the limit Kael could accept.

The resource points around the Great Swamp didn't yield much, with the main food supply coming from the vast fields around Titan City.

Falling into a war of attrition was certainly the best option for Kael.

Because from the beginning, he was not fighting alone.

Whether it was Fransburg, which could support the border territory at any time, or the Royal Capital's elite forces that could arrive at Titan City through the Teleportation Array, they would not stand by and watch Kael's territory be threatened.

This was clearly an invasion, not just pioneering on disputed land, but the tribes' Barbarians abruptly entering the territory belonging to the Lancaster Duchy!

The nature was different, how could they possibly ignore it?

Indeed, it wasn't long before the Communication Crystal from Fransburg connected with Kael's.

After a brief yet cautious exchange of intelligence, learning that the tribes might be backed by the Totem, the current person in charge of Fransburg immediately indicated that reinforcements would soon arrive.

Hot on the heels of this was a message from Sister Franca at Lion Heart Castle, explicitly stating, "A batch of Lion Heart Battle Group's elites will soon be transported to Titan City."

Yes, as Kael anticipated, as long as the tribes were dragged into the quagmire of war, their repeated tugging would soon tilt the balance of victory towards him.

For this, Kael had absolute confidence that in the long run, not only would Lancaster not suffer any losses, but they might also be able to bite off a huge chunk from the tribes.

Thus... there was no retreat in this battle.

Wasn't this also a critical stand for the future of Lancaster Territory?

Lancaster Territory had developed to this point; moving further would inevitably make it a target for many.

The fourth Dungeon was a key turning point for any Lord.

Growing to this level, the inevitable spike in territorial strength would reach a new peak.

So typically, the type of the fourth Dungeon is generally limited to one of two kinds.

Either, it is an army-vs-army type of Dungeon, akin to the situation previously between Wandong City and the Alliance.

However, these types of Dungeons do not offer the Lords an option to choose; they will absolutely place Lancaster on the weaker side.

If Kael had the opportunity to completely shatter the opposing forces, then he could fully seize the other side's personnel, resources, and land.

Or it is a massive map domination type of Dungeon.

The most typical trait of this type of Dungeon is that, before the end of the stage-by-stage fighting, the more territory you can seize, the more enemies you can capture, the more directly the outcomes would be calculated after the combat phase.

This is the only type of Dungeon where Kael could exploit a loophole.

Because Kael was very clear that a domination Dungeon was most advantageous for him.

This was the only type of Dungeon where players, by sheer numbers, could compensate for the lack of quality and significantly make up for the shortage of fighting personnel.

No other reason.

Players were bound to impact the crucial outcome of the battle in the fourth Dungeon scenario.

Does Lancaster Territory have a lot of players?

Not many, at least two orders of magnitude fewer compared to the Royal Capital of Lancaster Duchy.

However... the Royal Capital had already been through the eighth round of Dungeon expeditions and had no way to exploit players for the fourth round loophole.

So, from another perspective...

Compared to those forces currently undertaking their fourth Dungeon, are there many players in Lancaster Territory?

Far too many, overwhelmingly so!

According to the vast array of data now displayed on the official forums, the game version has developed to version 1.93.

Based on past game version changes, the current situation on the Divine Continent has come to a critical turning point.

From version 1.0, Kael has been scheming, managing his territory, and increasing his visibility among players.
