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

Chapter 1077 288: The Forest Emperor's Reflections and the Dragon Raises Its Head on the Second Day of the Second Month (10K)

It's not that they thought these people would be their staunch allies, it's just that they had no other choice.

If Kael hadn't first revealed his absolute trump card—the technology related to building the Floating City—Yibel Federation's current predicament would have been even more difficult.

However, there is no "if" in reality.

In fact, even if Kael hadn't played the Floating City card as the main product for the Yibel Federation's interests exchange, the various great countries and powerful forces would still choose to support Yibel Federation.

The reason is simple: a dead Yibel Federation might not be beneficial to them.

If the Yibel Federation, standing at the forefront, falls, then they would be at risk without any barrier against Holy Briania.

As it stands, the only one that can contend with Holy Briania on its own is the Yibel Federation, so as long as they want to retain enough autonomy, they must hide behind Yibel Federation and support it.

Hmm... And by using this as a condition, they can find a way to exchange some scarce resources unique to the Federation back to their factions as a benefit for their support.

Maybe, when the time comes, they might even survive by wearing down Holy Briania, impairing Yibel Federation, and preserving themselves.

These are scenarios they can clearly see.

But the biggest problem now is that a Little Incubus, who was supposed to be an outsider or at least temporarily one, suddenly stepped forward and dealt a king bomb to both factions.

As the possibility of the Yibel Federation's victory began to surge wildly, these guys finally couldn't sit still.

They want to quietly enjoy the benefits in the background, not watch someone else take the spoils.

Seeing that the Yibel Federation has mastered such technology, how could they remain passive? They came to Yibel Federation immediately to seek further cooperation details regarding the Floating City.

As for the original plan to influence Yibel Federation as quickly as possible through the "Dragon Clan Plan" and the "Elf Blood Pool Plan"...

That's not worth considering now.

Currently, the initiative in the situation is in Kael's hands. If there's any interest exchange, it should be other nations seeking Yibel Federation and Kael for an exchange of benefits.

The situation has reversed.

The Federation, which originally seemed to need to sell off some peripheral interests to gain the support of other countries, is now facing a completely different scenario.

Now, on the continent of Shenhwa, which of those peculiar leaders is a soft touch?

From the perspective of the Yibel Federation's leadership, upon reconsideration of this grand crisis, one can understand that Holy Briania, as the adversary, may not actually be that advanced.

If the Yibel Federation, as a rising star, did not have its own unique development methods and excellent leadership, how could it rapidly rise from nothing to catch up with Holy Briania and become one of the top two states on the Shenhwa continent?

Just as everyone was contemplating their next steps, Caesar suddenly tapped the table and softly said:

"Well, rather than further deepening cooperation with various forces, let's put that on hold for now. Our next focus should be on another direction that deserves our attention."

As the Caesar Governor lifted his head, several beams of light descended around the vacant seats at the conference table.

The projections of the Dukes from Yibel Federation's nine Duchies descended there.

"Caesar, has the Royal Court made its decision over there?" The first to speak from the light column was the Duke of Purple Thorn.

He was a top-tier Alchemist who had long immersed himself in the field of alchemy, considered an oddity among the many Dukes by choosing Alchemist as his main profession.

With a faint trace of fatigue on his face, it was apparent that before coming to this meeting's projection, he had been busy dealing with his large alchemy workshop. Judging by his current state, everyone couldn't help but wonder if the Duke of Purple Thorn had hurriedly attended the meeting only after finishing his tasks.

The projection of the Duke of Lion Heart slightly raised his head and scanned the room before saying in a deep voice:

"Everyone knows that in the history of the Shenhwa continent, the struggle for Epochal Dominance has broken out more than once. From a descendant's perspective, many often think each major race proactively became the dominant force of their epoch.

But all present know that in reality, it was about multiple national interest entities clashing with each other throughout history.

What kind of national interest entity is Dragon King Island and the Dragon Empire? They are a social interest entity called a nation.

Is Molten Furnace Castle a national interest entity? They are a national interest entity based on the Dwarf race.

Is Holy Briania a national interest entity?

Obviously, it is, and it operates as a theocratic interest entity, an entire nation serving divine authority, called theocracy.

Counting us in as well, it can be said that ever since tens of thousands of years ago, the entire Shenhwa continent has been a battlefield of national interest entities clashing at a collective level.

First, the imperial system, federal system, theocratic integration system, and divine regulatory system clashed, leading to fusion between these four sectors, eventually forming two larger blocks opposing two smaller blocks.

So, what is the struggle for Epochal Dominance? It's one of the wars between national interest entities, a large-scale competition executed through national-level warfare tactics.
