Chapter 903 186:
Violet is indeed reliable.
Although the battle here is earth-shattering, with fires raging and ghostly realms everywhere, ruins scattered all around.
Yet, in the midst of the ruins, the camp of the Golden Pansy Domain remains orderly, and the soldiers defending various locations are arranged in strict formations, with immaculate military presence.
Squads of soldiers march in orderly lines, everything proceeding with precision. The wounded returning also receive meticulous care.
The only thing that concerns Lin Rui is that there are quite a few wounded, and the priests are somewhat overwhelmed.
Violet continues to calmly order squad after squad of soldiers to take to the battlefield, holding each defensive line firmly.
With Audrey absent, there is no one to command the massive Undead Army, leaving a crucial gap in the military structure of the Golden Pansy Domain, resulting in the main forces shouldering more casualties and losses.
Upon hearing Lin Rui's inquiry, Violet only then lifts her head from the map, explaining to Lin Rui, "Lord, there have been too many changes here, it's impossible to fully explain in such a short time."
"Focus on the key points, keep it concise." Audrey's side is still waiting for Lin Rui's support.
Violet rubs her somewhat throbbing head, then arranges her thoughts, saying, "Your guess is correct, there is indeed a great storm brewing here among the elves. Just as you led Audrey away, a rebellion broke out in the Elf Imperial Court here. The elf rebels colluded with the dark elves, even burning the World Tree."
Lin Rui glances at the remains of the World Tree, burning furiously, and says, "I've seen that, but how did it come to this?"
Violet extends her hand, revealing a divine artifact gleaming with golden light. Like a falling star in the night sky, scattering shimmering points irregularly. Upon close observation, one can see it resembles countless tiny crystal faces, shining brightly, each face seeming to carry endless wisdom and power.
Lin Rui's eyes widen instantly: "Is this... a Divine Core Fragment?"
"Indeed, for the Plane Crystal Core, countless divine spirits have madly entered the fray. If you, my Lord, can clear this place, you should be able to collect quite a number of Divine Core Fragments. From what I've seen, at least thirteen divine spirits have fallen here."
Lin Rui laughed, you really think highly of me!
Thirteen divine spirits have fallen!
This is certainly authentic, a trait possessed by mythical level beings.
As the World Wall deteriorates and Plane Crystal Core with the Elemental Keystone is missing, divine spirits can project stronger interventions into the mortal world.
Some rather reckless or desperate divine spirits have already personally descended into the mortal realm, fighting with their divine bodies in this world.
Such beings, possessing dozens of mythical traits, have fallen in quantities.
Moreover, Lin Rui is merely a Tier Seven Explorer?
If Lin Rui had that capability, then he would be the god.
Just by looking at the blessing bestowed by the Goddess of Fortune, one can see how strong the interference divine spirits can provide at the moment.
If it were slightly weaker, Lin Rui wouldn't have left Audrey on the battlefield and returned himself for reinforcement.
"I think we can set that aside, we should think about how to retreat smoothly. Is the Plane Crystal Core still here?"
Violet immediately shakes her head and says, "No longer. The Elf Empress calculated everything perfectly, reinforcing the area around the Plane Crystal Core so that no one could breach it, then she smoothly departed the mortal realm. To disperse the divine spirits' focus, she threw out the two Elemental Keystones stored in the Elf Imperial Court by the dark elves and the academy, which is why the battles here have been relentless."
Lin Rui relaxes and says, "Our main task in this plane war is already complete, no need to fight so hard anymore. Taking one Elemental Keystone is enough for us, we don't need to compete with divine spirits, making unnecessary sacrifices."
Violet calmly replies, "We are guarding here not to fight the Celestial Kingdom Armament of divine spirits, but for Rose."
"Rose?" Lin Rui is surprised, what's her role in this?
Violet beckons, and shortly, a Holy Grail Knight brings Rose over.
Facing her homeland ravaged by war, the girl's face is full of sadness and desolation, but upon seeing Lin Rui, her eyes light up.
After all, in this world, as well as another, Lin Rui is her only remaining relative.
Lin Rui hasn't yet thought of how to console her, she speaks first, saying, "The Empress asked me to tell you she's left you a gift."
No wonder the Empress can achieve great things, scheming for thousands of years, finally becoming the greatest winner behind the scenes.
Look at her perspective and grace, it's truly different!
Lin Rui immediately smiles and asks, "What gift? I'm someone who loves presents."
Rose shakes her head and says, "I don't know, the Empress didn't say, only mentioning it's in the ruins of the World Tree."
In the ruins of the World Tree? Lin Rui ponders, but cannot confirm for now, then looks at Rose and asks, "Violet said the army is fighting for you, why is that?"
Rose says, "It is for the surviving elf citizens. The Imperial Court has been destroyed, many elves have become refugees, I became one of the few leaders, and many elf citizens are willing to follow me to the New Continent to build a new homeland. I am gathering willing soldiers and civilians here, already recruiting more than thirty thousand people."
Lin Rui couldn't help but feel emotional, who would have thought the elven outcome would rely on Rose becoming a leader, building new cities or settlements.
But the emotion soon passes, this is undoubtedly a good thing for the Golden Pansy Domain!
It means the Golden Pansy Domain will have more citizens, and upon returning, the Golden Pansy Domain will certainly continue to grow, becoming a large city-state, with more castles and feudal domains attached.
