Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor

Chapter 443 - 202 begins investing in Territorial Essence

The oath-taking ceremony completed, Lin Rui began arranging the army’s defenses within the territory.

First, to counter potential Flame Demons, Lin Rui positioned Su Xi atop the grand structure of the Holy Grail Champion Divine Hall at the center of the territory, overseeing all directions from the temple’s summit. Her Shadow of Evil strategically roamed within the territory, ready to support all directions at any moment, while she, through displacement, could swiftly eliminate all Flame Demons.

Flame Demons do not appear in large numbers at once; she should be able to quickly eliminate them... if all goes well.

To assist her, Lin Rui also placed Su Ye and Violet inside the territory. One focuses on extreme attack, the other on extreme defense; both epic-level beings can easily defeat the Flame Demons.

Whereas on the battlefield to the west of the territory, the main force of the family army had truly been deployed.

Four squads of the Holy Hall Maid Guards had climbed the city walls, their heavily armored Storm Crossbows looking incredibly futuristic, resembling electromagnetic guns glowing with blue lightning. Most notably, they do not require crossbow bolts for loading. Simply infusing them with Spiritual Energy can fire Spiritual Technique Missiles with strong armor-piercing power, and they are equipped with a continuous crossbow mechanism that fires upon stringing. Lin Rui felt they looked more like Gauss electromagnetic guns.

Below the city walls, Audrey’s Undead Army and the Black Banner Guards had formed ranks, ready to resist waves of monster assaults.

Behind them, the Priest Corps were all in place, and the Combat Priestess ladies had donned MK series Nun Type Power Armor, holding the team flags in one hand and heavy swords in the other, entering the lineup.

The Holy Light Apostles had dispersed at the back of various formations, ready to provide extensive healing at any moment.

Members of the Golden Pansy Knight Order had all gathered, ready to charge out and disrupt enemy attacks at any time, creating opportunities for their side to regroup, recuperate, and return to battle.

The Holy Grail Knights, clad in heavy power armor and armed, stood at the forefront of the entire army, patrolling and ready to face an onslaught of thousands.

Yuyu lazily followed Lin Rui, casually gazing into a mirror, occasionally looking beyond the golden mirror towards the distance, finding it somewhat amusing, she asked, "Strengthening Territorial Essence is supposed to be a joyous occasion, why have you made such a big deal out of it? The development direction of this territory is quite abnormal."

Lin Rui had no choice—the territory had developed this way.

He could only say, "I didn’t expect to have so much Territorial Essence this time, with 46 pieces of basic Territorial Essence and 6 pieces of small-sized Territorial Essence! If we don’t prepare rigorously, I’m afraid the territory will be overwhelmed by monsters and vagrants."

"And yet you use the God of Harvest’s blessing!"

[Blessing of the God of Harvest: After using, receive divine grace from the God of Harvest, with resource output doubling for all production buildings within the territory for 48 hours.]

Earlier on, Lin Rui had acquired plenty of these scrolls from the trading market, and even now, they are still frequently available on the market for a price.

Essentially speaking, these scrolls aren’t particularly powerful. For production buildings, even if output doubles, it merely condenses what would have been two days’ production into one. This has almost no impact on territory development over the months and years.

But the problem lies in the Golden Pansy Domain’s plantation and fishing hut undergoing severe changes when strengthened.

[Little Fishman Camp: Each day produces 1,000 Little Fishman vagrants who will continue hunting in the water and kill any wild monster they encounter, storing prey and spoils.]

[Warbosss’ Goblin Plantation: Produces daily 1,100 Tier One to Nine Green Skin units, with attributes ranging randomly from Excellence to Divine Spirit Level.]

After using the Blessing of the God of Harvest scroll, 2,000 Little Fishmen and 2,200 Green Skins are produced daily.

If the Historical Significance trait gets triggered during the strengthening process of the Territorial Essence, the effect would explode instantly.

Especially with the small-sized Territorial Essence, composed of 16 small essences, the effect is only stronger, with a minimum of 16 cycles, and the maximum remaining unknown.

Lin Rui took a deep breath: "High risk, high reward. If we don’t use the Blessing of the God of Harvest, we might lose nearly two to three years’ worth of production from the territory, so we have to persevere. Bestow your blessing upon me!"

"Alright! Blessing, blessing, blessing to the places even sunlight cannot reach, yet you can! Go for it, my brave knight!"

[Ding, received Divine Blessing: A blessing personally bestowed by the purest maiden in the world, granting the blessed one good fortune and fulfillment of heart’s desire. Charm +10, Luck +10, any Probability Mechanism determination result not aligning with wishes can trigger Lucky Reversal, temporarily sacrificing 10 Luck Value to re-determine, lasting 24 hours.]

Preparations were complete as Lin Rui retrieved the territorial treasures, Devil’s Golden Balance, and Lucky Coin: Sand Washing, placing them beside the Territory Keystone, while the Territorial Essence was embraced by Yuyu.

Lin Rui first attempted, using up this cycle’s transactions for the Devil’s Golden Balance.

[Ding, the Devil’s Fair Trade has activated, requiring ?? Realm Coins.]

[Ding, Law One triggered, Law Two triggered, Law Three triggered, Holy Spirit Level Order rewritten, Law of Order conflict...]

[Ding, Order correction in progress, world conflict...]

[Ding, World Order correction...]

[Ding, Law rewrite successful.]

[Please choose what you wish to trade: Troop, Blueprint, Weapon, Resource, Trait, Treasure, Wonder, Random]

Yuyu’s breathtaking eyes widened impossibly, filled with disbelief: "What the hell is this? Has the entire world law been rewritten?"
