Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 329 - 164 Kael: I’m still used to talking with the elder lady sister (10K, 54/76)_2
However, limited by his own situation, even after ascending to the status of a Magic Monarch, Mr. Bartlet wasn’t particularly skilled at magical dueling. Given his position in the heartland of the sacred Brinia, leaving directly was indeed a significant problem.
"After all, those priests aren’t weak by any means."
What Kael hadn’t mentioned was that although the Yibel Federation now bore the reputation of the largest Human Kingdom and could even represent the entire human race, its mid-tier strength was considerably weaker compared to the holy Papal State of Brinia.
Liu Feiren winning in the sprint events against black athletes doesn’t mean that the Asian race has comprehensively overtaken black athletes in sprinting competitions.
It’s Liu Feiren who is strong, not the others.
This logic can also be applied to the current Yibel Federation; just from the Duchy of Briania alone, it’s clear that up to now, no second force has emerged that could threaten the Duke Lion Heart.
This is also why the Duke Lion Heart lashed out at his descendants’ struggle for power and profit, calling them a joke.
"I want you to understand that only the strong have the opportunity to reason with others—whether it be the logic of fists, swords, or spells, the strong are born in the process of proving logic."
In an otherworld where personal military force was pushed to the extreme, the weak had no right to speak up loudly.
People have forgotten how quickly the Yibel Federation developed, so much so that they’ve overlooked that before its establishment, the Papal State of Brinia had already endured for more than two thousand years.
As a result, when facilitating the return of Mage Bartlet to the homeland, there would always be some inexplicable voices from the public.
For example, "The era of war won’t return; are you coming back to retire in a prosperous and powerful federation, waiting to live off the taxpayers’ money?"

There were even more poisonous criticisms directly questioning Mage Bartlet’s allegiance, suspecting that he might become a Black Hand infiltrating the Yibel Federation for the Papal State of Brinia.
Even though these people might have never paid taxes...
Nor had they ever considered solidifying the foundation of the Yibel Federation’s relevant magical theories...
And to a large extent, besides spouting nonsense among the public, they had made no contributions to expanding the knowledge and theoretical boundaries of the Yibel Federation...
But in private whispers, they never considered what it would truly mean for the Bartlet Monarch to return to the Federation.

The potential value that a Bartlet Monarch could bring forth was at least worth five legions!
Thinking of this, Kael felt somewhat troubled, whereas Elanna was accustomed to it and simply said:
"Judging by the current situation, we are seriously lacking in mid-level backbone forces. We don’t need to worry about the very top; the Caesar Governor is genuinely strong, ridiculously so, and that’s something all the races have come to recognize."
Kael did not argue.
As the primary setting for the first version of the main storyline, the Yibel Federation, compared to human kingdoms established in later times, actually falls short in overall strength, with only a limited number of top-notch technologies and legions to show off.
But that doesn’t negate the fact that this version’s top human experts are extraordinarily powerful.
One only has to recall how Marquis Gransham’s actions, under the title of "Conspirator," led to the demise of nearly one-third of the Royal Court’s elite troops, which almost caused the already weaker Yibel Federation to disintegrate on the spot.
Despite such circumstances, Governor Caesar Cedric dispersed the main troops across various duchies to support their battles, while he himself led a ragtag legion on a campaign to the west against the holy Brinia.
Kael couldn’t help but feel speechless when recalling this; that Caesar Governor had been truly fierce in his past life, with players exclaiming, "I knew at a glance you were more than human," elevating Caesar Cedric to the status of "sub-godly T0 level NPC" in their hearts.
Even after many versions and the emergence of numerous top experts, there are still many players who firmly believe that Caesar Cedric is the strongest pure human in this game.
"I didn’t expect that the Royal Knight Academy would be so candid about the disparity in national strength between the Federation and the holy Brinia," said Kael.
Elanna showed a hint of helplessness, shaking her head as she replied, "The future of knights is ultimately on the battlefield. If they don’t understand their own strength, how can they hope to understand the strength of others and avoid marching to their deaths on the battlefield?"
He smiled and nodded in agreement, "That’s true, my view was biased."
Kael was never one to be obstinate; at least, he would never claim he hadn’t eaten bananas after a match. Convincing Kael wasn’t difficult, provided the reason was sound enough.
He raised his head and looked out the window.
Kael was, in fact, no longer staying in the previous Lord Mansion.
With the city’s functions perfected, Titan Town had been upgraded to the status of Titan City, and the original small mansion-like Lord Mansion was now insignificant compared to the new castle granted by the World Mother.
Now, the staff of the entire Lancaster Lord Mansion and a significant portion of the administrative personnel had their offices relocated within the ancient castle.
The size of this castle was so vast that the outermost areas were already partially open to local administrative personnel who needed to travel frequently, as well as residents, including players, for visits.
