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

This was the first time Kael had seen such a large merchant convoy arrive in Lancaster, but it seemed that these folks had quite the misfortune.

From the situation with the Barbarians, it was clear that they had not initially considered them as targets for attack; however, for some reason, they changed their original plan and started fighting with the merchant convoy.

Kael even suspected it might be a matter of "What are you looking at?" "Yeah, looking at you!" kind of situation.

But after thinking it over, he felt that if this was happening among Barbarians… it actually made sense.

Just by looking at the Barbarians' gear, it was obvious they weren't here in Lancaster for an exchange; their intentions didn't matter to Kael.

Whether they intended to strike at him or to block Lancaster's external communications was irrelevant.

The Rangers who accompanied Kael were eager to try their skills, carefully watching Kael's expression.

Kael snorted coldly and said, "Lancaster had an agreement with the tribes in the past. When a large group of Barbarians enters Lancaster, they must report to the Lord Mansion in advance and accept the supervision of the Rangers.

Otherwise, they will be seen as invaders to Lancaster and how to deal with them will be left to our discretion. I don't need to repeat this to you, just go and do what you want to do."

A moment later, he added another line, saying,

"There's no need to leave any survivors. Kill them all."

Kael was no saint. He questioned whether these people were targeting him or someone else. Now that they had disturbed the peace of his domain, heaven knew how many merchant convoys had been harassed by them while wandering around the territory recently.

If this news got out and caused concern among neighboring merchant convoys, Lancaster, which had just opened trade routes with the military stronghold of Fransburg, would be severely affected.

So, you are targeting my moneybag, huh? Leave your lives behind. I will personally seek an answer from the tribes!"

With Kael's permission, a group of adept warriors nodded calmly and then turned to greet a few colleagues, and together they galloped down from the hillside at full speed.

The frenzied Barbarians also noticed their arrival, and one Barbarian who had been standing at the back, upon seeing the Rangers, revealed a ferocious smile and waved his weapon, trying to kill the frontmost Ranger.

However, the frenzied Barbarians didn't realize that the Rangers didn't stop their charge. Suddenly, Slime Swords extended from them, wrapped in crimson curse power, skewering the charging Barbarian on a several meters long Slime Sword.

Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, the skilled mercenaries at the back also let out a cheer and began to fight back vigorously.

The furious Barbarians split into two groups, half of them charging directly at the Rangers, not realizing that these Rangers now wore sincere smiles on their faces.

It was as if a street rogue had suddenly found an opportunity to make his surname renowned and start a new family linage.

In this slaughter, the Rangers who had gained a great deal of nourishment from monsters, even a small portion of them had snatched enough Beast Blood Essence through the Slimes, began to condense special talents belonging to monsters.

It could be said that they, now replenished with nutrients, their robust muscles filled with explosive power, wielding Slime Swords with wild force merging with howling winds, attacked in an instant, much like a cheetah charging.

The incredible strength easily clove any approaching Barbarian in two, turning the Barbarians' proud muscles under the swings of Slime Swords into mere targets.

Muscles were sliced open, chests were impaled, and even those clad in Armor could not withstand the devastating slaughter wrought by the unstoppable lightning speed.

The spray of blood and kneeling corpses sobered up the frenzied Barbarians a bit, but it was already too late.

"Lord Kael's order, spare no one, kill!"

The Ranger roared, and enveloped in a frenzied dark light intertwined with the sharp sound of wind, suppressed all resistance of the Barbarians.

Some skilled mercenaries witnessed everything, the pressure initially brought by the Barbarians completely dissipated in an instant.

When they came to their senses, apart from the few Rangers who rode their horses leisurely amidst the carnage, there was no other living creature left standing across from them.

Seeing the Rangers approaching on horse, they took a few steps back unconsciously.

They had rarely seen such an elite force—on this ever-changing battlefield, such a leisurely team would be considered nothing but fodder in the eyes of these skilled mercenaries.

But they knew well that these men were far from that.

Such a casual demeanor precisely proved one thing—that during the massacre of those Barbarians, they had hardly expended any effort.

Suddenly, a sound of horse hooves came from afar, and Kael, dressed in a Mage's simple attire, along with Hassaka, approached.

The Rangers dismounted and kneeled on one knee, bowing their heads to Kael and said:

"Lord Kael, the clearing is complete."

Kael glanced at the corpses of the Barbarians and from their appearance alone, knew that the majority were not Human Barbarians, and then said:
