Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor

Chapter 457 - 209: The Shock Ceiling of the Territory’s Elite Goblins

Lin Rui had a faint idea of the specifics of Galo’s risky military maneuver.

After all, although he lacked experience, his wisdom was definitely not lacking.

"Even if we are to take risky measures, we still need time."

"Time!" Lin Rui said heavily, "The melee soldiers must continue their attack to buy time, and simultaneously keep all the green skins trapped in this area. Once they scatter and surround us on the battlefield spread over hundreds of miles, we will be completely doomed."

Of course, continuing the attack was fraught with danger, and they could be broken through by the green skins at any moment, which in turn could divide and surround the Golden Pansy Clan’s army into several sections.

Yet, Terion accepted this heavy task without hesitation, clenching his warhammer in both hands, saying, "Lord, I will personally command the army and forge an indomitable bulwark out of steel and flesh to gain enough time for the territory."

Lin Rui nodded solemnly, "Then the battle is in your hands. Launch an all-out attack, at least force the main force of the green-skinned Heroic Commander out!"

In the end, the green-skinned hero proved to be the most crucial strategic presence affecting victory or defeat.

Terion turned without hesitation, standing in front of the entire army, raising his warhammer high and shouting, "The Goddess is watching us, attack!"

"Attack!"

"Kill!"

"Kill all the green skins!"

The elite soldiers of the territory roared, raising their blades high, continuing their steady advance with mighty military formations.

All green skins standing in their path were hacked to pieces by their blades.

Spiritual energy might be depleted, faith might be powerless, but absolute loyalty and iron will ensured this army could steadfastly fight to the death in the most brutal of wars.

As the warriors fought to the death, Lin Rui caught sight of Yuyu trying to sneak away at the edge of the battlefield.

Her snow-white legs were revealed through the high-slit skirt, completely at odds with the ghastly battlefield of black and red.

Seeing Lin Rui approach, she immediately covered her nose with her slender hand, "Stop... don’t come near me! You’re going to make me pass out."

Lin Rui stopped about five meters in front of her, brushing his gaze over her lazy, supple, pristine body, and asked expressionlessly, "Where are you planning to go?"

Yuyu covered her nose, retreating another three meters, "The smell of blood and sweat on you is simply overpowering, just stay there. My spiritual energy is nearly depleted; I need to return to the territory to recover!"

Lin Rui glanced at her still remaining over ten thousand points of spiritual energy value, How can you say that with a straight face?

Yuyu languidly stretched, "It’s been two days and nights, isn’t it reasonable for a beauty to take a little rest? Look, the other mages and archers are resting too."

"They’ve exhausted their spiritual energy three or four times before barely resting."

"Sigh," Yuyu sighed, finally resigned, "Alright, alright. As soon as I saw you coming over, I knew you were going to put me to work again. Sure enough, once a man has had his way, he uses you without restraint. You haven’t even succeeded yet, and it’s like this, what will my life be like in the future? Tell me, what do you want me to do this time?"

"Have Caroline to the market to purchase territorial essence at any cost, and then you go and infuse it into the territory keystone. I haven’t told you to stop, don’t stop."

Yuyu was instantly shocked and covered her mouth, "Are you mad? What if the historically significant trait is triggered again? There are still millions of green skins on the battlefield not killed yet; if a few thousand more green skins come, you’ll all die!"

"No!" Lin Rui said resolutely, "The more that come, the less likely we are to die. Go collect the territorial essence! Notify me just before infusion."

"H-How do I notify you?"

"Bestow a blessing upon me. Wish me luck."

Yuyu’s body instantly softened, and tears began to fill her eyes, "Don’t say it like that, as if it’s a farewell. It’s like after I bless you, you’re going to do something heroic from which you’ll never return, never to return!"

Lin Rui smiled faintly, "Unluckily, you guessed right, that’s why you should hurry when infusing the territorial essence, otherwise, I might actually die in the Green Tide."

Lin Rui confirmed that if he died this time, Wutong would absolutely not come to save him.

She owed nothing to the territory anymore.

She had provided Lin Rui with two paths to choose from, and Lin Rui chose to take a risk.

Lin Rui had to bear the results of the gamble on his own, even if it meant death in battle and the fall of the territory was a result of his choice.

Defeat was just defeat, with no excuses! The reality was that the Golden Pansy Domain fell on its way to the pinnacle, unworthy of aiming for higher levels.

"Why do you want to do everything so fast!" Yuyu wiped the corners of her eyes and called out nervously as she watched Lin Rui turn and leave, "Hey!"

"?" Lin Rui paused slightly.

"I wish you a safe return after crossing a thousand mountains, a thousand waters, a thousand years!" Yuyu’s eyes were red, her ten fingers anxiously entwined.

Without pausing his steps, Lin Rui waved lightly, "You should say may the Goddess bless us. May the first essence you infuse into the territory trigger the [Historically Significant] trait."

Yuyu quickly broke into a smile through her tears, "You really don’t understand romance, too straightforward. Fine, may our Goddess bless us."

The two parted ways, and Yuyu immediately rode the Griffin back to the territory, retrieving various exotic treasures from the treasury to set in the shops, with only one exchange condition: territorial essence.

They were even willing to trade a dozen legendary-level weapons for just one territorial essence.

Meanwhile, on Lin Rui’s side, the territory’s army was already in fierce combat with the beastmen.
