Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 723 - 230: Tribal Invasion, The Arrival of the Titan Giant (10k)_2

But... to earn money and other rewards for every drop of sweat and blood he shed was truly an experience he had never considered before.

Indeed, Midgar was not, strictly speaking, an original inhabitant of Lancaster.

A few years ago, the city-state he lived in had faced an unprecedented shock. To put it simply, just outside the city-state, legendary strongmen from The Papal State of Brinia and other powerhouses had engaged in a clash.

The end result was that the shockwaves from their confrontation had swept through his city-state with relentless force, submerging it.

Yes, just the shockwaves alone, just the shockwaves!

When he came to his senses, Midgar saw that the city-state, to which he had never been particularly attached, now had about a third of its area turned to scorched earth.

Latter on... the priests from the Earth Mother Goddess Church came, seeking their opinions on whether they should relocate in full to a place called Lancaster Territory.

Perhaps because most of the city-state's buildings were damaged, even the lord of the city-state had died, and now the fate of this castle was almost visible to the naked eye.

Without a lord, it would be difficult to rally the professionals who protected the city-state; without the professionals' protection, the city-state was bound to face true chaos...

The monsters from the wilderness would see the professionals losing their leadership and fighting among themselves, hence focusing on protecting their own turf as well as scrambling for the city-state's wealth and power.

The fate of the ordinary civilians at the bottom of the city-state?

Who cared?

As a rank six novice professional, Midgar was all too aware of the most likely fate of small city-states like his, when misfortune struck.

Everyone knew that without a unified force, it was difficult to deal with the monsters outside the city-state, yet they still wrapped themselves up in a struggle for power and gain.

In the end, most city-states that found themselves in this situation soon became part of the endless wastelands of the continent.

So, in order to survive better,

Or rather, to ensure that his younger brothers and sisters could live on, and not just die quietly here,

He made his choice, took his siblings, and followed the Earth Mother Goddess Church's priests through the teleportation array to another nation.

Later on, having settled in Lancaster Territory, he finally could enjoy a peaceful and harmonious time with his brothers and sisters.

Until Lancaster announced that it planned to draft a group of rangers to guard the borders of the territory, he stood up considering various factors and decided to become a ranger. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Turning around, two years had flashed by.

Though Midgar would sometimes lament and occasionally gripe with his colleagues, saying that too many night shifts were causing his once thick hair to thin at an alarming rate.

In his words, one sensed the melancholy concern of facing a future of baldness.

But every time the topic of night duty came up...

He always volunteered.

No choice, the night duty allowance was too significant to resist.

Fortunately, today's strenuous night duty was finally over.

"Speaking of which, things over at the tribe have been a bit restless lately! Those mad dogs raised by the Holy Briania, their purpose is to bark a few times at the enemies they can't beat when the time comes...

It's kind of annoying. Isn't it better for everyone to develop peacefully?"

After all, as a professional who had wandered through small city-states, although Midgar did not dare boast of his combat prowess, professionals like him born in city-states had a keen sense of smell.

He had already sensed the smoke of war.

Sigh, an autumn of troubles!

A shadow of gloom passed across his face, but as soon as he remembered he was about to have a holiday, the gloom vanished instantly, leaving only sunshine and brightness.

His rest time was approaching. What should he do?

Ranger Midgar fell into delightful daydreams of his impending holiday, and, without realizing it, an image leaped to mind.

It was of a girl from a resource point town on the edge of the Great Lancaster Swamp.

She had long black hair, kind eyes... forgive Midgar for only being able to describe her with such impoverished words.

He wished he could bestow all the beautiful adjectives in the world upon this girl, even though she was just an ordinary person who ran a bakery.

But he just felt that he really liked her.

Perhaps it had started back when he first arrived in Lancaster and was assigned to this area, still starving when the girl gave him a piece of bread.

Though she said it was at the village chief's invitation, meant to extend a piece of home warmth to the travelers from afar, allegedly on the suggestion of Lord Kael, so that they, the newcomers, could experience the local people's warmth...

But who cared?

At least he did not care at all, didn't care that the food distribution was a plan orchestrated by the Lord Mansion.

Didn't care that the bakery girl hadn't offered bread only to him.

Didn't care that the bread was generously made with a rich wheat flavor and sweetness.

The only thing that he slightly cared about was the smile on the girl's face at that moment.
