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

"What exactly happened in Wandong City back then?"

Tetu sat back in front of the communication crystal and sighed, "First, you need to understand what Wandong City means to the goblin empire."

"I looked it up, and it seems that Wandong City was the largest production site for alchemy equipment in the goblin empire." Kael raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't tell me that was where the goblins tried to explore the artificial path to godhood experimentally."

If that were the case, the historic resonance-type dungeon within his own territory would be incredibly valuable!

Tetu paused for a moment, then said somewhat helplessly, "Of course... that's impossible. What are you thinking? The first thing the allied forces did when this information was exposed was to annihilate the main cities where this experiment was conducted."

Receiving Tetu's "what nonsense are you thinking" response, Kael didn't take it personally and just continued to listen to the story Tetu was telling.

Seeing that Kael had no further questions, Tetu continued:

"Wandong City was not a normal city; from the day it was established, it was geared towards the production of war weapons.

One could say that if Wandong City had not been conquered, its autonomous systems would have continued producing equipment to arm the goblins, provided it had enough resources.

Though not necessarily top-notch, it was already enough to ensure the supply of all mid-to-low-end war weapons to the goblins, even if the other goblin cities fell."

The premise being that this city could still operate well..."

Kael understood the hidden meaning in Tetu's words... there was no premise!

"What exactly did Wandong City negotiate with the various factions back then?" Kael asked the key question.

"The goblin empire stopped advancing the 'Ascension Project,' destroying all research materials, erasing the related researchers' memories, ensuring all content related to the 'Ascension Project' was completely destroyed."

How foolish... holding a taboo weapon and not using it are two different things!

Why couldn't those goblins understand such simple logic?

Holding that thing in their hands, even if the allied forces wanted to forcefully attack the goblin empire, they would still need to behave cautiously. If they acted too recklessly, the end result would be mutual destruction.

Such an outcome was definitively not what the allied forces wanted to see.

These goblins actually thought to step back, able to take one step back then another, retreating three, four, five, six steps until they could retreat no further, and that's when they would be finished.

If there was no opportunity, choosing to endure would be understandable, but having an opportunity and not daring to fight for it, just thinking of defending and getting smashed was very normal.

It's known that since the 'Ascension Project' was leaked, there must have been spies among them.

After all, neither elves, dwarves, nor monsters were from countries controlled by theological power.

If the news hadn't been leaked, just a bit more time would have allowed those species of other countries to master the way to becoming gods. Even if later, the gods above them discovered this, there would still be a possibility to negotiate.

But the 'Ascension Project' was leaked right from the beginning... wait, am I overlooking something?

Kael was taken aback for a moment, a thought flashing through his mind, suddenly making his scalp tingle and goosebumps nearly arise.

If he remembered correctly, many, many years ago, The Papal State of Brinia was still a place where the divine authority outweighed royal power, but it wasn't as extreme as now, where nearly the entire country's future was decided by the major churches.

Considering the timing, the "The Round Table Council of Brinia," which mainly represented the lay followers in deciding the country's future, should have been dissolved during that period, eventually transferring all the power of the state to the major churches.

The organization "Holy Hall," formed by the leaders of the major churches, took over all the powers of The Round Table Council of Brinia, marking the complete transfer of Brinia into a true theological state, representing many true gods shepherding the lambs on Earth.

Thinking this way, the events of those days are indeed terrifying.

Kael suppressed the doubts in his heart, looked towards Tetu, and said:

"So, did they agree in the end?"

"In principle, Wandong City agreed, and the initial communication with the expeditionary force was basically harmonious, but soon the situation took a drastic turn.

The goblin joint chairman of Wandong City, who was responsible for the negotiations, was assassinated in his bathtub on the eve of signing the contract.

This event caused immense anger among the goblins of Wandong City. Just when the situation had calmed down, it became deadlocked again unexpectedly. Before the goblins could seek justice for the chairman's death from the allied forces, an internal uprising took place within Wandong City."

"An uprising?"

"Yes, an uprising. A group of young goblins started rampaging through the city, looting, pillaging, and burning, unexpectedly storming into the central laboratory. They killed the person in charge of some projects of the 'Ascension Project' on the spot, taking his head as a gift to buffer the conflicts between the two sides and sought to continue negotiations with the eastern expeditionary forces."

Kael: ...

What kind of idiocy is this?

This inexplicable thought flashed through Kael's mind.
