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

Chapter 1098 291: Turmoil on the Holy Mountain · The Fall of Mistro, Total War, Anderson's Yearning for Redemption

Previously, the assassination of Pope Mephiel seemed to have caused no ripples, disappearing silently even from casual chats amidst the recent incessant downpours on the Holy Mountain.

It's as though everything that occurred before is destined to be drowned by this heavy rain.

...

In such circumstances, the long-prepared war finally began to unfold.

In reality, small-scale wars at the border have been ongoing without cease for quite a long time.

Sky-splitting Knights from the Duchy of Englance ride griffins soaring through the heavens, evolving from mere strategic deterrents to engaging in high-altitude combat with the Angel Army.

These aerial duels occur intermittently.

And this has been the ongoing small-scale skirmish of late.

Of course, this small-scale skirmish ultimately has a limit. As the time of tug-of-war between both sides lengthens, it seems Holy Briania can no longer endure.

At Pope Mephiel's command, many high-ranking officials of the Church of the True God gathered together, and soon after, forced recruitment began for the expeditionary armies of the various True God Churches.

Increasingly dissatisfied with the current situation of mere tug-of-war, church personnel from various sides began, under Pope Mephiel's demand, to assemble highly effective expeditionary Crusader troops.

Even the auxiliary forces have been rapidly supplemented afterward.

Given the current circumstance, when the real fight breaks out, it surely will be earth-shattering.

However, this matter for Kael, far away in the Lancaster Territory, is not something worthy of his attention.

It's not that the matter is unimportant, but because recently Kael has been too busy dealing with various issues to be concerned with it.

Before the Yibel Federation and Holy Briania entirely clash, Kael has no time to spend on matters that currently don't specially concern him.

Rather than concerning himself with these, Kael would rather invest time in strengthening himself.

Nonetheless, the northern wasteland has been quite unsettled lately, causing some turbulence within the Lancaster Territory which borders it.

The unrest began with players discovering a mutation in the northern wasteland.

Kael's student, the poor Anderson, has been frequently active on the northern wasteland's lands.

Wherever he goes, he obliterates everything before him with overwhelming force.

Though it's unclear how this student of his accomplishes it, undeniably, the northern wasteland is now plunged into an undead ocean due to Anderson transforming into a giant white bone centipede.

Under such circumstances, Kael's focus remains on Anderson.

With abundant information about the white bone centipede Anderson transformed into, Kael is now certain that the mountain-like terrifying white bone centipede wreaking havoc now is indeed Anderson himself.

Given the current situation, indisputably, Kael will face a crisis attempting confrontation.

It's not that Kael doesn't want to act now, but he sincerely wishes to understand why Anderson became such an existence.

Or more accurately, who made Anderson turn into this.

Anderson undoubtedly has talent, but converting talent into tangible power is indeed a challenging issue for Anderson now.

Or rather, converting talent into tangible power is a difficult road for anyone.

Such as directly leaping from an ordinary extraordinary stage to a legendary stage power, then amidst the siege of various forces, not only avoiding immediate extinction but absurdly exploding troops amid warfare by absorbing corpses at an inconceivable speed.

This development catching Kael off guard.

Now, countless accountability letters swarm in hoping Kael can quickly fulfill his role as a mentor, swiftly resolving the increasingly problematic Anderson.

Kael raised his head toward the sky, now so blue and pristine.

In truth, Kael doesn't care much.

After all, for someone of Kael's temperament, as long as people don't die right before him immediately, he prefers selectively ignoring such issues.

Also a crucial concern is that Anderson, missing for two years, despite his two years of absence and his current insane troop deployment, never once breached Kael's boundaries.

The undead wave not entering the Lancaster Territory maintaining the boundary unbroken for now, allowing Kael some tolerance for Anderson's madness.

No...

Perhaps there's some unspeakable worry in this too.

It's well known that Anderson, now named the "Skeleton Wave," operates within the northern wasteland, while battles are unfolding there between the Yibel Federation and Holy Briania as well.
