Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!
Chapter 767 - 237 Desert Serpent People's Fancy Play, Pilgrimage of the Dead (10k)_4

In his previous life as a player, he had also heard rumors about the destruction of Fransburg in the later stages.

At that time, the Duchy of Englance was already on the verge of extinction due to the war with the Holy Briania, with a massive number of refugees displaced and many territories still capable of battle isolated and without aid.

Indeed, it was one thing for the dukedom to become an isolated force after losing its suppport; however, to be directly encircled and overrun was quite another.

The destruction of Fransburg, being the strongest ruin in the surrounding region, marked the beginning of the complete fall of the eastern regions of the Duchy of Englance.

Even more absurd was the fact that, including the destroyed Royal Capital, the early destructive blows suffered by other regions of the Duchy of Englance had been the work of the invading Crusaders of Holy Briania.

Starting only from Fransburg, the neighboring countries and regional forces around the Duchy of Englance, as if by some prior agreement, swarmed in like locusts to devour the land they had previously dared not tread upon.

Every Tom, Dick, and Harry now dared to howl with audacity.

Among them, the desert serpent people were one of the invading forces that could leave a slight impression in Kael's memory.

No helping it, they were one of the few forces that were continuously besieged by players until their complete annihilation.

There were not many forces that could unite players with a common hatred to organize a siege.

Unless they severely provoked the players' ire, one could hardly expect a bunch of players, who were mostly loafing, to join together to besiege a force; it was nearly impossible.

Before the desert serpent people made an appearance, the only entities the entire player community had jointly besieged were a few major forces.

For example, the Shirek believers later known to the very marrow for slaughtering countless players, were detested by gods and demons alike.

Or consider another deity who was mutually hostile with the Earth Mother God Shiantia, openly issuing divine commands for His followers to kill Shiantia's devotees and Her children unconditionally.

In other words, those capable of enraging all players were generally forces that threatened the interests of the players to a significant degree.

These forces had cultivated throughout the continent for many years, their reach extending into every corner of both upper and lower echelons.

Yet even under such circumstances, the desert serpent people single-handedly lowered the standard of strength required to oppose players.

To really spell out the extent of this disparity, one might compare it to—

In history, only six emperors completed the Mount Tai Fengshan rites.

The first one, Qin Shihuang: I, the one emperor of all time, unified the world, brought the four seas together—who dares disagree?

The second one, Emperor Wu Han: I, made the Xiongnu sing and dance in defeat, establishing a proud sense of the Han empire for generations to come—who dares disagree?

The third one, Emperor Guangwu: I, Liu Xiu, son of the plane, fought the transmigrator Wang Mang, summoned meteorites from the void, the foremost Mage God who extended the Han dynasty's life by over two hundred years—who dares disagree?

The fourth one, Tang Gaozong: I'm, well, not as powerful as they were, but I joined forces with the eternal female emperor Wu Mingkong—1+1 should also count as strong, right?

The fifth one, Tang Xuanzong: No, why look at me with such disdain? After all, I still boast the Golden Age of Kaiyuan. You think I'm weak because—don't you believe there will be even weaker ones after me?

The sixth one, Song Zhenzong: Hey hey hey, here I am! I've got nothing, just seeing how mighty you all are and thought I'd come over and help pad your stats!

...

Well, the desert serpent people didn't even measure up to Song Zhenzong.

At least Song Zhenzong controlled a kingdom, whereas the desert serpent people were referred to as a "tribe"—ponder that carefully.

This level of shame was enough to be regarded as disgraceful.

"What's the situation with the desert serpent people, have they started harassing the surrounding small towns again recently?"

"They claim that the desert surrounding Fransburg has always been their territory."

The Knight spread his hands and said, "I don't know where they got the courage to say such things; a group that couldn't even protect their own world, reduced to fragments in the void, becoming part of a Dungeon...

Just a couple of years ago, the Orean Independent Kingdom had just finished conquering their Dungeon, and had driven these folks beyond their national borders.

Now, after running to the desert areas surrounding Fransburg, relying on their ability to hide their presence and blend into the desert terrain, they've started trying to annoy us."

"Do you need help?"

Although the desert serpent people were a nuisance, they clearly lacked a powerful deterrent force.

The value of their existence was merely to be annoying—far from being considered strong.

Kael has always had a particular disdain for this race that couldn't keep its mouth shut.

This group of desert serpent people's innate habits were more like a hybrid of bandits and thieves, and they also carried many customs that were extremely detestable to normal races.

These include, but are not limited to...

① All beings in this world were created by the multi-headed serpent god, and the desert serpent people, being descendants of the multi-headed serpent god, should rightfully have control over all the land and life in the world.

This claim, Shirek Himself would call an expert, as after all, the purpose of Shirek creating the Shire Scripture was to deceive the world into believing He was the one and only supreme deity.

And predictably, Shirek went mad.

② Whatever I lay my eyes on is mine; if I'm stronger, I'll snatch it, if I'm not, I'll steal it.

Right, Ying Jiang, Riben, and Kimchi all nod in approval—a perfect fusion of the big three.
