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

Chapter 1017 278: The Crusaders' Expedition and the System Prompt Ringing in Players' Ears (10K)

When Genghis Khan was alive, his cavalry under his command fought countless countries, destroyed the Western Xia and Jin Kingdom, reached as far east as the western Korean Peninsula, and as far west as the northern edge of the Bohai Sea. This was the terrifying power of cavalry at its peak.

However...

The cavalry formed by ordinary humans, when facing cavalry organized by Transcendents, even if they are only all at LV1 level, in a direct collision, ordinary people would have to pay at least five times the manpower.

And if more than half of this unit's Rangers have a professional level above LV9, and almost all have reached LV5 or higher...

Honestly, Kael feels that to stop these monstrous soldiers, the ordinary military equipment would have to be upgraded to the level of the Human Federation equipment.

Only by using saturation strikes and excessive damage can there be a slight chance of survival against these monsters.

Now the number of Rangers is a staggering 8,000 people. Including the number of Elf Rangers and Infiltrator Corps, the number of professional soldiers in Lancaster Territory has directly broken through the 20,000 mark.

Currently, just assembling auxiliary soldiers falls far short of the conventional number of auxiliary soldiers in regular professional corps.

Fortunately, for the warriors of Lancaster, the demand for auxiliary soldiers is not that high, after all...

Once Kael consumes the Totem Power accumulated in the Life Treasury to let them enter the "Gluttonous Feast" state, let alone being physically exhausted, even digesting and absorbing surrounding vegetation and extracting necessary nutrients can quickly relieve Lancaster's armed forces from being worn out.

A little less is less.

Anyway, if it's really insufficient at the time, then think of a way to pull more players...

The premise is that his strategy is effective.

Now, at Kael's command, without many people noticing, Lancaster's professionals quickly start to act and roughly assemble a unit.

In terms of climate, this year is still in early winter, not quite a time for heavy snowfall.

But when Kael left the Lord Mansion, a cold wind blew, stirring the desolate fallen leaves, making him sigh at how surprisingly cold this year's climate is.

The biting cold wind blows in waves, even Kael, with his Mage abilities and ice element protection, feels the chill somewhat.

The Wolf Maid breathes out, exhaling a cloud of white mist, with her upper body tightly wrapped. Even the snow hidden within is obscured, showing no signs of fluctuation.

The final defiance of the maid might be the black thermal stockings with magical effects that she had Kael make after a night's toil.

Thus, the Wolf Maid previously "had to" endure being filled up like a puff pastry to whisper her request gently to Kael.

Of course, the Wolf Maid knew that if she directly requested Kael's help, he would help without enduring the puff pastry suffering.

But wouldn't that take away a bit of the playful dynamics between a maid and her master?

However, soon, Kael's deeply worried mood during this time worsened.

While leading the Rangers patrolling the outskirts of Titan City, he saw some frozen bodies on the main roads of commercial routes.

Although their bodies are not in rags, they could not withstand the clear drop in temperature that suddenly came. Overnight, colorful snow settled on the roadside, covering these curled-up, smiling corpses.

It is unknown whether in this early winter dream, their souls could return home with smiles on their faces.

Following Kael, Hassaka's heart softened, and the Gluttonous Slime on him turned into a rolling iron shovel, digging a pit amid the slightly harsh sound of shoveling to lay them to rest.

However, Kael stopped him, sitting atop the Shadow Wolf King, ordering the Rangers to check the identity of the frozen dead.

Soon, the Ranger looked up and said, "Lord, they should be travelling merchants from other territories."

Kael nodded, and the solemn expression on his face dissipated slightly: "As long as they're not Lancaster's subjects, it's fine. Prioritize protecting Lancaster's subjects before considering anything else."

The Ranger nodded.

This is why the Lord is beloved on this land because, many times, Lord Kael indeed considers the welfare of the subjects.

However, the Ranger could not help but let a thought rise in his heart: but... the frozen ones are also Humans.

Standing from a Human perspective, seeing his compatriots become part of "bones frozen by the road" instead of just victims of war, this complex emotion greatly shook this Ranger.

"Hassaka, you can bury them now."

Kael said, "There's no need to leave them exposed in the wilderness, just a matter of a little effort to dig a pit."

Hassaka nodded, and soon, a small mound of earth appeared on the ground.

Kael silently watched the mound for a while, then turned to Jonathan, who was always at his side, and said:

"Jonathan, after this patrol is over, use the Communication Crystal to contact the guardians of each resource point town, especially those around the commercial routes of Lancaster Territory, to temporarily set up some rescue stations, allowing the use of Constant Temperature Magic Array."
