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

This was also a thought hidden deep within Kael's heart, that no matter how hard he tried, it was nearly certain that the development speed of Lancaster couldn't outpace that of the players.

He himself could keep up, but the Rangers of his territory, both in numbers and growth speed, had a qualitative gap compared to those players who only needed to battle.

What he could do was to continuously harvest the new players who entered the game and opted for Lancaster Territory.

Those players who had completed phased achievements in Lancaster would head for the vast universe of stars, eventually dissipating into the crowd, probably never to be seen again—

Unless he could win the Lion Heart Duke's favor by developing his territory and rapidly advancing his rank to inherit the Duke's position directly, otherwise, the idea of harvesting players for a long time into the future wasn't too realistic.

But now...

Kael felt like laughing.

Jonathan was still fighting, involved in a frenzied kill spree, and a few Rangers around him were also taking advantage of the Gluttonous Slime's augmentation of their bodies to continuously slay Bear Goblins and Jackal Wolfmen.

Over 700 Bear Goblins and Jackal Wolfmen, when facing a mere 11 Rangers of the Iron Hoof, shouldn't suffer such massive casualties.

But the Slime formed Symbiotic Armor was like a biological exoskeleton that allowed the Rangers to exert greater force with less effort.

Not to mention the slimes on their bodies that automatically defended and counterattacked, which when actively controlled, extended curved Slime Swords from the Symbiotic Armor.

Thankfully, when Kael had these Gluttonous Slimes briefly merge with the Rangers, he had fed the slimes plenty of rare metals.

Although those rare metals were pricier than ordinary copper and iron ore, they were still within the financial capacity of the territory.

Especially when activated by the Totem Power released by Kael, those swinging Slime Swords created an impenetrable barrier, a true blade storm.

"Boil, my blood!"

In Jonathan's roaring voice, the Slime membrane spread out instantly turned into a silver-white wall that blocked the approaching Bear Goblins' attacks.

Automatic defense was initiated!

He didn't even need to dodge; merely using the energy accumulated by the Gluttonous Slime, he could maintain this automatic defensive and enemy-locking stance.

All he had to do was to swing the long spear in his hands, piercing one enemy after another.

Jonathan and his 10 Rangers were laughing, laughing maniacally.

The Gluttonous Slimes that constantly delivered killing blows, assisting in slaying the enemies, were also laughing.

Chunks of corpses were ingested and swiftly turned into nourishment for Slimes to grow stronger under the effect of [Devouring Feast] activated by Kael.

What was more terrifying was that, because of the symbiotic relationship, when the Slimes quickly grew stronger, the arcane energy reserves stored within them would also strengthen.

As the arcane energy in Jonathan and the others was expended, the reserves would automatically flow back into their bodies.

The larger and purer arcane energy, being naturally from their own bodies, could be digested and absorbed effortlessly.

Were there a lot of Bear Goblins and Jackal Wolfmen?

Useless, all useless, self-assembled gangs, though more threatening than some refugees and bandits, were still far from a formal army, let alone now facing the transformed Jonathan and his men.

"Don't drag this out any longer, the purpose of the test has been achieved, there's no need to let them keep living."

Jonathan's horse leaped high as he roared with an order for everyone to launch a Death Charge.

Yes, though only 11 in number, they dared to call it a Death Charge, because in this war of completely unequal numbers, they were the true Death Gods.

The death of their own kind rapidly sobered these wilderness vagabonds up from their greed, the false confidence that their power gave them gone, replaced by the fear of death.

They cried trying to hide themselves in the soil, the grass, behind trees, but Jonathan had already turned into the spearhead of the charge, with 5 Rangers following closely on either wing.

They plunged into the enemy's lines like a V-formation, piercing them directly.

The frenzied digestion and absorption kept the Gluttonous Slimes on their bodies perpetually active, as though they hadn't expended any energy at all.

The Slime Swords pulled taut by the sticky fluid and constantly flailing even prevented most Aliens from getting close to them before being torn asunder.

An array of five-part carnage unfolded across this region.

Courage? Nonexistent!

The power brought by courage would only be better manifested in those who lacked it, but these Rangers, having guarded the border for many years, not to speak of strength, certainly had great mental fortitude.

The loneliness of the border and the continuous attacks from Dungeon monsters had long forged their unyielding spirit.

Their experience, honed over long years of fighting in Dungeons, resulted in no fanciness or showiness in battle among these Rangers.

In close combat, there were only flying pieces of flesh and blood; large heads soared high before being captured and digested by the Slime's secretions.

And those last retaliations before death couldn't affect the Rangers in the slightest; the blood mixed with soil scattered the flowers.
