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

Chapter 861 253 Executing God's Will, The Conflict Between the Church of Love and the God of Transformation (10K)_2

To say that no one wants it is impossible.

It's precisely because someone has thought about it that they understand how difficult it is to reach that position.

So no one asked Kael, because if someone did, Kael's first reaction would probably be to laugh.

In the era before the Human Federation was established, there was an official organization claimed to have united all the countries of the world.

Within that official organization, there were five countries deemed the strongest after a comprehensive evaluation, commonly known as the Five Powers.

However, in that organization of the old era, more than one country attempted to be selected as the Sixth Power.

Some countries harbored unfounded fantasies, believing that position was selected.

But, without a doubt, the ticket to that position must be won through strength.

One must exhibit courage, show dominance, establish a foundation for the country to have a chance to cross this threshold.

The position of Governor is much the same.

Want to sit in that position?

No problem.

If you can obtain the support of half of the Nine Dukes of the Duchy, you've made the preliminary step toward that position.

But the problem is...

Who will come?

Don't forget, within the Duchy of Yinkilan itself, just the official decision of the Lionheart Duchy to start the process of selecting a new Duke caused chaos throughout the entire Federation.

Merely the Duke's position caused so much trouble, what about the person sitting in that position?

Why did the Lionheart not initiate the competition for the Duke's position before Kael arrived?

Was it specifically to wait for Kael?

No, it wasn't.

It was because, within the entire Duchy of Yinkilan, there was not yet a descendant who had any opportunity to challenge the Lionheart.

Before such a person is born, easily initiating the inheritance of the Duke's position would undoubtedly place the entire future of the Duchy of Yinkilan on a roasting spit, and be irresponsible toward the Federation.

The big fish that stirs the entire Duchy of Yinkilan could be anyone from the dispersed Lionheart Family, not necessarily even someone from the Lionheart Family. After all, there are methods like marriage alliances, which, if agreed, could offer a chance at that position.

But, if you lack strength, then lacking strength is what it is.

Even if you're seated there, you can't hold it. Eventually, you're left with a mess, and the elders of the Lion Heart have to come to clean up.

And the position of Governor... is even more severe than that of a Duke.

The simplest reason.

As an assisting civil officer, sweating profusely, he is very clear that for the Yibel Federation, there is a need for someone who can stand against the legendary Pope Mephiel.

If such a person does not exist, it means that in the clash between nations, the managers of the Yibel Federation will face direct decapitation attacks from Pope Mephiel.

Just this one straightforward reason excludes everyone in the entire Federation.

Now, the conference hall was silent.

Caesar sat in his place without saying a word, just quietly watching the distant horizon. After a long time, he suddenly laughed:

"Don't be so tense; things aren't as good as imagined, nor as bad as imagined."

Caesar's calm voice spread, and despite being just one sentence, the atmosphere in the conference hall felt lighter after his words.

Just as he finished, a sudden rush of wings flapping was heard from outside the conference hall.

The terrifying airwaves swept through the open ground outside the conference hall but turned into a breeze at the hall's doorway.

Everyone could vaguely see the massive dragon's body stretching outside, instantly realizing it was the Dragon Rider Corps of the Silver Guard Army of the Royal Court.

A fully-armored knight entered the conference hall without hesitation, walked directly to the Governor, bowed his head, and whispered a few words.

The Governor smiled faintly in response, saying, "Good. Now I can be a bit more at ease."

He turned to everyone, stood up, and said:

"Olivia and her student are nearby; with her presence, there's no need to worry too much about that side.

After all, that's Olivia. Even though she is still far from recovery, delaying until reinforcements arrive is enough."

On hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.

"Lady Olivia is nearby?"

"But Lady Olivia's injuries aren't healed yet!"

"What does it matter if they haven't healed? After all, she's..."

"True, she was once our Federation's pride."

"The strongest legend, who almost became the youngest Demigod... if not for that incident."

"Silence, it wasn't Lady Olivia's fault."

"I know, no one said it was her fault. It's just surprising those guys would stoop to such low methods."

Recalling a sorrowful past, the hall fell silent, with a shaky voice rising:

"I can't let go, really can't let go! They almost wiped out a generation of our geniuses; so many children we had high hopes for were lost just like that.

They were so young, they might have had the chance to see the peaks that we couldn't. Now, almost all of them were killed at that place.
