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

Although I did not fully transform the Rangers into Totem Creatures, the core of their profession has indeed been tainted by my Totem Power to some extent, transformed into the structure of a Totem Creature.

Then, because the Rangers themselves live symbiotically with the Gluttonous Slimes, the Slimes' devouring and evolution also promote their own growth.

Moreover, with Aister as the hub, constantly sharing various combat experiences and Slime's external abilities, each promotion, from professional level to comprehensive combat capability, brings about a qualitative leap.

As a price, however, these men will be bound to my chariot forever, since I can indeed decide their life and death."

Duke Lion Heart nodded and said, "If used well, this power could become a great weapon for the Duchy and even the Federation; if not…

Then I might be labeled a sinner by future generations!"

Kael was stunned for a moment. This matter was related to him, after all; if it really came down to it, at most, he would be the one to ignite the flames of war, then relying on his control over the lives of others, become a tyrant.

What does this have to do with Duke Lion Heart?

Duke Lion Heart huffed and said, "You lad, you're too aggressive. Although I appreciate such a trait, being too aggressive can also make you lose certain opportunities.

To be honest, if the Sky-splitting Knights hadn't been too remarkable, I probably wouldn't have handed them over to you for adjustment."

Kael's heart skipped a beat; he suddenly had the feeling that Duke Lion Heart was planning something big.

"Sister Franca, tomorrow, take this lad to Iron Cross. Take my orders down there and find Richard, the head of the Sky-splitting Knights, and tell him to fully cooperate with Kael in the transfer to becoming a Sky-splitting Knight."

As expected...

A sense of absurdity rose in Kael's heart.

Just as he had suspected, Duke Lion Heart had unshackled him partially, allowing him to extend his tentacles into the Lion Heart Battle Group.

The hidden message was indeed astonishing.

Always, Duke Lion Heart did not allow other candidates to get involved in the power succession of the Lion Heart Battle Group.

The Lion Heart Battle Group is the foundation that ensures the stability of Lancaster Duchy, it is that spear.

In such a case, Kael was very clear that if someone received Duke Lion Heart's permission to interfere with the Lion Heart Battle Group, it meant that the Duke's internal scale had already started tilting in that person's favor.

Obviously, in Duke Lion Heart's eyes, Kael's possibility of becoming the next Duke had now realistically surpassed that of the others.

Although Kael could guess that with his cheat-like progression rate, he would soon overtake the other candidates, being recognized by Duke Lion Heart was still an unexpected delightful surprise.

"By the way, you lad, before heading to Iron Cross headquarters tomorrow, come to Lion Heart Castle first. There will be something good waiting for you."

"Something good?" Kael displayed a fitting curiosity.

Duke Lion Heart spoke indifferently:

"From now on, you are Viscount Helois. The corresponding noble attire and your family's crest flag will need some slight adjustments, as Franca has been handling these matters in the past few days."

Kael was flabbergasted and said softly, "But I haven't even gone to assist Iron Cross in developing the new profession yet. The reward has come so soon?"

Duke Lion Heart shook his head: "What are you thinking? Of course, we wouldn't promote you to a nobility rank for this matter alone. This was a decision finalized after consultation with the Royal Court."

Kael: ???

What does this have to do with the Federation Royal Court?

Sister Franca, who had been as still as a sculpture until now, let out a light laugh.

This was the first time she had seen Kael reveal an expression fitting his age.

She said softly:

"The scope of your Lancaster Territory is already large enough, and the overall infrastructure is well developed, far stronger than the lands of most hereditary Viscounts.

Not to mention, you have already made a significant contribution to the Federation."

Kael paused for a moment, then after thinking about recent events that had stirred up an uproar, he finally murmured:

"Is it because of the issue with the headquarters relocation of the Church of Literature and Knowledge?"

Sister Franca nodded and smiled, "Although the main reason for the Church of Literature and Knowledge's headquarters relocation was the irreconcilable conflict between their church and the country where the original headquarters was located,

It was precisely because you helped their deity ascend to intermediate Divine Power that the Federation's external staff found an opportunity to bring them into the Federation.

So in this respect, although you were not involved from the beginning to the end, your efforts are visible to all, and we can guess that you intended to bring the neutral Church of Literature and Knowledge into the Federation from the start.

Now everything has turned out as we hoped, undoubtedly a great success. When we mentioned this to the Federation, no one objected, and it quickly went through the fast track.

So, congratulations to you, Kael, ahem... Viscount Helois!"

Kael nodded and accepted it calmly.

Right, exactly, what you're saying makes sense!

I indeed had plotted from the beginning to pull the Dinel Church into the Bell Federation; that's why there were so many exchanges of benefits between the two parties!

Now that everything has settled, my receiving the deserved reward is only natural.
