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

Chapter 535 - 199 Kael, I am Utterly Convinced You're Worth It (10K)_3

It was only a temporary borrow of special personnel from the Church to influence the judgment of the holy Briania Crusaders, achieving the purpose of tactical deception.

In simple terms, by obtaining a batch of Church personnel—even without them participating in the battle, their mere presence on the side of Wandong City could shake the faith of the Church Crusaders.

Crusaders who lost their conviction in battle would directly impact the battalion of prayer warriors driven by the Chosen One, eventually creating a breach in what was originally a solid defense system.

This breach might, with the passage of time, become the core reason for Wandong City's eventual victory.

In his view, achieving tactical deception was essentially the limit of utilizing the Church's power.

Yet now, Old White had brought up this proposal again, prompting Kael to consider whether the discarded plan was feasible under the current circumstances.

Following this train of thought, Kael continued his consideration.

The light in his eyes gradually brightened, and the corners of his mouth curled into a slight smile as he turned to Old White and said,

"Thank you, Grandpa White, I might have found the best solution!"

Old White nodded.

After all, Kael had never really participated in the Dungeon the normal way; many of the cheeky maneuvers that only the natives could pull off were something he, as a player, would never consider.

After all, players - as everyone knows - usually storm into the Dungeons in a swarm, employing brute force.

They're all about the grand charge of a mighty army.

It's not that players don't want to employ fancy strategies; it's purely a matter of communication and connection difficulties between players and native forces.

For example... since The Earth Mother Goddess Church was present within the multi-national Alliance and had even temporarily transformed Old White into a "Chosen One," Kael harbored strong hostility towards the prayer warriors' battalion and the holy Briania behind them during their first campaign.

If he had not been unable to defeat the Chosen One and their forces, Kael might have wanted to scatter their ashes to the winds.

Perhaps because of the deep impression of being a player in his past life, Kael sometimes forgot that, under such circumstances, a considerable part of the Church might not necessarily be the enemy.

It seems it's not enough to just ask Bishop Tett for people; methods to convince the reluctant Earth Mother Goddess Church to defect to his side must be considered.

Like, for example… commands from the Church Court.

After all, the core members of the Holy Hall from that era in the holy Briania had never changed.

Having the Church forge a new command to directly pull the Earth Mother Goddess Church and its prayer warriors' battalion to his side, the Alliance would be short of support while Wandong City would gain it—rounding up, that's like winning twice.

Just as Kael was about to indulge in thoughts of the future, he already heard the bustling sounds from outside the Orean Royal Capital perimeter.

Kael momentarily suppressed those absurd thoughts.

Right now, it's best not to focus on other matters. The most important thing is to obtain the Unyielding Banner from the Day of Dawn Dungeon, as that is of utmost importance.

...

Half an hour later.

[Location: Orean Independent Kingdom · Royal Capital · Immigration Inspection Station]

"Hey, you there, stop!" A half-human guard at the Immigration Inspection Station waved a spear taller than himself and had a short-barreled firearm hanging at his waist, stopping Old White's cart.

Old White, whose face was disguised as a weather-beaten travelling merchant with the help of Magic Tools, revealed a perfectly naive smile.

"Sir, we are merchants who have just rushed over from the holy Briania. We have the relevant immigration documents here, take a look, take a look..."

The half-human guard walked over, scrutinized Old White and Kael closely, widened his eyes, flared his nostrils slightly, and huffed,

"You're lucky today. Go on in, and don't block the way at the checkpoint anymore."

Kael and Old White showed expressions of "joy" on their faces and immediately drove the cart into the city gates.

Upon entering the checkpoint, Kael faintly heard some whispering from a few half-human sentries behind them.

"Why did you just let them through? You could have skimmed a little off of them at least!"

"Skim a little? With those two looking like poor merchants, I figure they've barely brought their products to the Capital to scrape together a meager wage. If we skim off them, would we still let people live?"

"True. Keep a close eye on those rich trade houses, guys. Whether or not we can enjoy meat and drink by the end of the month depends on whether you've got sharp eyes!"

Kael chuckled softly and said to Old White, "I didn't expect these half-humans to still have a bit of conscience when dealing with 'poor folks' like us."

If half-humans were entirely greedy, they wouldn't make up the most common demographic in many Dungeon adventuring groups," Old White nodded, affirming the character of this race to some extent.

Kael didn't say much more; after arriving in the city, they quickly found a place to stay.

In a matter of minutes, when they reemerged from the house, they had used Magic Tools to change their appearance and quietly signed up for today's guided tour group to the Day of Dawn Dungeon.
