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

"Hmm?" Kael blinked, then remembered that this territory had already been expanded.

Originally, the Snow Wolf Clan and the Black Cat Clan should have had a considerable number of people, but he seemed to have seen very few within the territory.

"I don't seem to have come across them much in Lancaster, have I?"

"That's right, the Snow Wolf Clan and the Black Cat Clan lean more towards a nomadic lifestyle; many of them prefer to encamp in the wilderness.

It could be said that their hidden presence throughout Lancaster greatly helped to prevent roaming monsters from attacking nearby villages.

This area used to be frequented by a pair of Black Cat Clansfolk with notable strength, but then they met with disaster during a monster attack, leaving only their young daughter to escape.

The Black Cat Clan, unlike the Snow Wolf Clan, has weaker combat capabilities but is quick and nimble. Usually, they can wander the wastelands without being killed by monsters.

That time, they probably sacrificed themselves to protect their daughter."

"Dan, you know that's not what I'm asking about, or let me rephrase, why do they stay outside the main towns?"

Dan looked somewhat awkward as he said,

"Lord, you should know that Lancaster is a newly developed area not many years old, and many people within the territory were not originally from this land.

Back then, those refugees taken in by the Duchy of England's Lord Anthony came from a city-state that had been destroyed by the orcs.

Many of them harboured deep-seated hatred against orcs, and although the Snow Wolf Clan and the Black Cat Clan were more like humans than true orcs, their orcish traits still caused dissatisfaction among some people.

The elders from before were heroes of the territory's early days of development; ultimately, Lord Anthony chose to temporarily relocate the two clans away from the towns, dispersing them among the villages.

However, the Snow Wolf Clan and Black Cat Clan, who preferred living together, didn't like this arrangement and eventually requested to disperse into the wastelands to live a nomadic life."

Kael sighed, knowing this was another historical mess.

He vaguely understood why his own maids included members of the Snow Wolf Clan and Black Cat Clan.

Clearly, Anthony was communicating through his actions to others that both the Snow Wolf Clan and the Black Cat Clan should be considered part of Lancaster.

Instead of working from the bottom up, choosing a top-down approach might better implement his ideas.

After all, plenty of people would be willing to emulate the Lord Mansion in flattery.

Of course, the method of bringing Wolf Maids and Cat Girls under his command might not work in modern times; it was only possible in this world with a more medieval aesthetic.

Kael shook his head and said, "Whatever happened before I don't care about, but from now on prepare to send people to contact the Snow Wolf Clan and Black Cat Clan scattered across the land.

Tell them the right time has come, the people of Lancaster have no reason to keep wandering outside, it's time to come home!

This task, Dan, I'll leave it to you to handle, any problems?"

Dan knelt on one knee and said, "As you will!"

In fact, Dan himself had been intending to discuss this matter with Kael.

After all, if the two clans were left to live a nomadic life in the wastelands for too long, they might not remember Lord Anthony's redemption that had freed them from the shadows of war.

As they continued to grow in numbers during their nomadic life, it would become uncertain, when the time came, whether it would be Lord Kael who called the shots or the nomadic leaders.

Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he looked up at Kael, saying,

"Lord, the Snow Wolf Clan had previously sworn loyalty to Lord Anthony, and the clan's leader, after hearing Lord Anthony's plan, entrusted his daughter to the care of the Lord Mansion.

By now, that Snow Wolf girl should be only slightly older than you are."

Kael was drinking at the time, and upon hearing these words, he almost spat out his drink.

"You're talking about Hassaka, right?" Kael attempted to casually hide his momentarily distraught expression.

Dan nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Hassaka."

Kael pondered for a moment.

He understood Dan's implication.

Hassaka, as a maid – even his own personal maid – was very close to him in every sense of the word, even...

Cough cough cough!

In short, their relationship was really intimate.

In this context, sending Hassaka directly to contact the Snow Wolf Clan, using her status as the clan leader's daughter, would likely be more effective than sending rangers directly.

However, considering the current situation in Lancaster, Kael did not have many people he could rely on.

"What is the current size of the Snow Wolf Clan?" Dan, with his constant patrolling, should be well-acquainted with this information.

"When the Snow Wolf Clan first joined Lancaster Territory, they numbered over seven thousand. Now, at their peak, they should have surpassed twenty thousand members."

"Twenty thousand…" Kael mused for a while, then looked at Dan and said, "Dan, what do you think? How many from the Snow Wolf Clan are willing to fight for us, for Lancaster – or more precisely, for me?"
