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

No one understood the ultimately bleak fate of Wandong City better than they did.

So far, in every rendition of the reset Wandong City that the players had been a part of, the end result was either the residents of Wandong City being butchered in a great fire by the Chosen Ones or devising a series of escape plans which, no matter what, always culminated in being devoured by the detonated doomsday bomb.

Hmm, not to mention a considerable number of players were turned into wandering corpses by the Undead virus.

The most tragic case heard of was someone who, during combat, carelessly got discovered by three churches other than the Earth Mother God and the Lord of Dawn, and was almost 'lit up' by the priests of the God of Death to study what made these players so special.

What's more, in Wandong City, there were plenty of sympathetic supporting characters involved.

Mira, a young girl who lost her father, was still waiting at the city gate for his return—and naturally, the group of players never lacked members of the Chosen One Army who couldn't bear to witness the tragedies they had brought about.

In such a situation, players who harbored great animosity towards the Alliance for various reasons had now joined forces, decisively accepting the mission from Kael's hands.

After all, they had fought in the Dungeon for quite a while, gaining a fair amount of experience, and the armory they had accumulated, including guns, ammunition, and Magical Weapons from the Dungeon, was not insignificant.

In this situation, being slightly wilful shouldn't be a problem, right?

Now, all we wanted to see was the death of the Alliance! We wanted to see rivers of blood!

With this belief in mind, the gathered players began entering the game under Kael's leadership.

And Kael, needless to say, upon re-entering this instance with the memory implantation via the cycle of rebirth, did the very first thing upon awakening by giving the Alliance a hard hit, making those people a bit more wary.

He wanted to delay the Alliance's final assault!

Looking at it now, the effect he had achieved was quite satisfactory.

Kael, who had slowly landed on the ground, took a deep breath, feeling a slight recovery in his mental state, and then turned to walk towards Wandong City.

A slight smile played on his lips, and inside his backpack, the carefully rolled up flag of the Unyielding Banner was still there.

He soon arrived at a location he had often visited during the first assault.

When Kael saw Dr. Osborne again, he wore a rather gentle smile:

"Commander Kael, what brings you to my humble lab today? Recently, the Gluttonous Slime has been evolving rapidly. Shouldn't you and your Rangers be on the frontline, fighting to hasten their evolution?" he asked.

Kael narrowed his eyes at the doctor, who, during the first assault, had been cunning and strategic and ultimately cooperated with Kael, using nearly cruel methods to replace the main force of the Chosen Ones and their Priest army.

Or rather, the core leader of the "Evacuation Faction."

Taking a deep breath, Kael chuckled lightly, "What, if not to come find you now, should I wait until your Evacuation Faction sluggishly makes a final decision before coming to seek us out actively?"

Yes, initially, the Evacuation Faction led by Dr. Osborne wasn't considered the primary choice by the goblin council.

Another leader of the Strategic Faction, "Dr. Zack," who had appeared only in missions issued in the Dungeon, was the one who had the full support of the goblin council.

Dr. Zack, who had once overseen the early stages of the Heavenly Ladder Plan and held significant prestige in Wandong City, had many ideas.

The most striking of which was the "Strategic Countermeasure" that had impressed Kael—

To dismantle the Anti-Casting Field Device and deploy the doomsday bomb directly to the Supreme Forest first.

Then, after half a day, sequentially bomb the Dwarves' Molten Furnace Castle, the Underground Tomb of the Dennys (the primary manipulators of the Undead), and the Shadow Country responsible for the front-line scouting work (the providers of the Infiltrator army).

And finally, drop all the bombs on the holy land of Briania.

Just this sequence alone illustrated the clarity of thought of the Strategic Faction's Dr. Zack.

As he thought about this, Kael's lips curled into a faint smile, and he said softly:

"Recently, things have been very dangerous over at Dr. Zack's. The Strategic Faction's plans have been leaked to the Alliance."

Dr. Osborne frowned, "Is Dr. Zack's side already preparing any plans?"

"The Supreme Forest is an excellent breaking point. Bombing it first with the doomsday bomb would surely send those pretty-headed Elves into a frenzy.

After all, the reason the bygone era of the Elves ended in haste was precisely because someone had once stolen from their home, detonated the supply system of the World Tree they relied on for life—the Eternal Well—and directly caused the World Tree to lack sufficient Magic Energy, forcibly extracting Magic Power from the closely related Elves.

Heh, it's no exaggeration to say that the widespread Magic Addiction that afflicted the Elves in the early days was a result of the World Tree's large-scale extraction of Magic Power from the Elf Clan.

Because of their own lack of Magic Power and significant breaches in their mental defenses, the population of newly born Elves plummeted. Even the strength they could exert decreased by more than a notch. Consequently, they increasingly lost control over the territories beyond the Supreme Forest and gradually lost their dominance over the continent…"
