Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Their highly anticipated tower defense system finally launched an attack when it detected the Flying Boat. However, the high-speed water jets were blocked before they even neared the Flying Boat by successive hexagonal translucent barriers.

…

Aboard the Flying Boat.

Kael quietly watched Mr. Luxius, who seemed like a titan, and exclaimed, "The benefits of the Plastic Energy Department are always so direct and apparent, fighting with them feels like throwing a mighty brick."

Elanna stood beside Kael, looking down at the relentless attacks that couldn’t even breach the barriers, a trace of gravity flashing in her eyes.

Although far apart, Elanna seemed to see the frantic escape of the half-humans within the city below.

This extreme violence, if not for the Luxius Monarch not truly desiring to annihilate the city, the people below wouldn’t even have a chance to escape.

Magic Monarchs really are monsters!

"Weak…" @@novelbin@@

When Luxius released his spell, slightly dissatisfied, he flew back to the deck of the Flying Boat, saying,

"Pity, it didn’t lure out that old scum hiding in Muxue Castle!"

Kael, somewhat curious, looked at his teacher and asked, "Teacher, do you have old acquaintances in Muxue Castle?"

"More like enemies, actually. Back when I was not as strong as I am now, that guy once tricked me badly. Now that I’ve grown stronger, he knows I’m after him, and he has been hiding in the Orean Independent Kingdom ever since."

Kael nodded, not asking exactly who it was. Considering Mr. Luxius’s current strength, even a demigod coming over might not harm him when he’s fully prepared.

Spending money is genuinely useful for top mages. Having seen the Luxius Mage Tower, Kael now understood why his teacher was usually so broke.

That Mage Tower alone took at least ninety-five percent of Mr. Luxius’s wealth.

Of course, for this expedition, Luxius had not brought the Mage Tower along.

After all, this time people from all over the Bell Federation had almost unanimously mobilized, aiming for a show of force.

In fact, after they entered the Sirgil Duchy, they were supposed to travel through the Sirgil Duchy’s Teleportation Array, and upon approval from the other side, directly teleport to the capital’s satellite city of the Orean Independent Kingdom.

However, after arriving in the Sirgil Duchy, the ruler of the Duchy, Lord Zijing, did not hesitate to reject this proposal, putting forward his own demands. Discover hidden tales at NovelBin.Côm

"Sirgil Duchy needs an international tour to showcase our duchy’s strength. Instead of thinking about directly teleporting to their capital, we should visit them ourselves.

The recently developed Skymark V-type Flying Boat by the Sirgil Research Institute, possessing far greater endurance and aerial capabilities than previous models, hardly any species, except for giant dragons and a few other high-altitude flying creatures, can even approach the airspace of the Skymark V-type Flying Boat.

Gentlemen, our trip to the Orean Independent Kingdom is meant to promote our ideology and to display our resolve to everyone, especially those hiding behind in the sacred Briania.

Military strength is indeed the foundation that ensures the continuous operation of the Bell Federation!"

At that moment, Kael’s first thought was, "The founders of the Bell Federation were really each more assertive than the last."

While his thoughts were diverging, he noticed that Lord Zijing’s gaze had turned towards his teacher.

"Mr. Luxius, on this trip to the Orean Independent Kingdom, you are the strongest among all the envoy teams. Please take more responsibility in organizing the team afterward."

Luxius performed a Mage’s salute and calmly said, "I shall not fail in my mission. You’re right. Instead of going directly through their Teleportation Array to Orean’s capital, we might as well knock on their door ourselves. My eagerly anticipated student, Kael, once said...

In the interactions between great nations, strength is always the foundation of upholding justice; a strong military is the real backbone of diplomacy; dignity lies upon the edge of the sword, and truth resides within the reach of spells.

Now we must let them see who truly represents the truth."

Hearing Luxius’s words, Lord Zijing’s face showed appreciation and he laughed, "Good, what a great spirit! The youth of our Bell Federation should indeed have such fearless courage, worthy of the candidate chosen by that old lion.

Gentlemen, do you have any doubts now?"

Seeing that Lord Zijing had set the tone for the trip, no one said much else, but the looks they gave Kael now carried more approval.

All those chosen for this expedition were hawkish members from within the Bell Federation, preferring strong characters like Kael over weak compromises.

Especially since these words struck a chord and greatly uplifted their spirits.

…

Turning back, everyone looked down at the port city below, their eyes flashing with a wolf-like gleam.

Luxius yelled, "All mages prepare the mass Feather Fall Technique, let’s descend collectively into the city."

The half-human Guard Team below looked up in horror as streaks of light fell from the sky; they had already spotted the presence of the Bell Federation Mages and Knights since the activation of the tower defense system.
