Chapter 917 193: Plane War Reputation Settlement
"There's no rush about the Wutong matter," Lin Rui noted the time, as it was just sunset.
Even if he went to discuss the main task with Wutong now, there wouldn't be any progress.
Besides, it wasn't bedtime yet. If he lingered there, his intentions would be too obvious.
Exposing intentions too early with impure motives won't get you the grapes.
Moreover, mentioning Wutong now made Lin Rui feel a bit guilty, fearing she'd beat him up.
If that happened in front of tens of thousands of soldiers, his dignity and reputation as Lord would be gone.
So Lin Rui continued, "Let's talk about the territorial issue. What happened? Why hasn't the Territorial Essence been deployed?"
"Let's talk!" Yuyu puffed out her chest and said in the fiercest tone, but with the most cowardly words: "But after I talk, you can't hit me."
Lin Rui took a deep breath, "I'll try, but no guarantees."
Yuyu immediately shrunk back, hiding behind Audrey, hugging her slender waist, and cautiously said, "Sister, whether my butt blooms depends on if you can hold him back. It's actually no big deal, just a little problem with my blessing to Caroline~ resulting in a [Historically Significant] trait whenever she invests the Territorial Essence."
Audrey was puzzled, "Isn't that a good thing?"
"Theoretically yes... but what if a lot is invested at once?"
Lin Rui glared at her, no need to say, it must be her fault!
With Caroline's cautious nature, she wouldn't invest a large amount of Territorial Essence at once.
But with Yuyu's lazy temperament, she'd rather stay holed up in her Divine Hall. Lin Rui could control her while he was around; without him, she'd be wild, wishing to finish the task quickly and retreat back to the palace.
If a lot of Historically Significant traits appeared, wouldn't the monsters in the territory become rampant?
This wouldn't be a big deal if the Golden Pansy Domain's army was strong enough to quickly clear these monsters.
But the problem was, during the Plane War, Lin Rui had taken most of the army away from the Golden Pansy Domain.
The remaining troops might add up to only around a thousand. Massive appearances of Historically Significant traits would rapidly expand monsters and population, but with limited land size, chaos would certainly ensue.
No wonder she couldn't confidently say everything's smooth in the territory.
Seeing Lin Rui's unfriendly gaze, Yuyu quickly added, "I... I did my best, okay? Many Guard Knights in the Divine Hall have died in battle, leaving only a dozen now."
"Why not resurrect them?"
"They were so thoroughly battered there's nothing left to resurrect!"
"..."
Forget it, Lin Rui didn't bother to argue with her. Given the numerous Heroic Spirit-level Celestial Guards who died on the Colonization Star—tens of thousands—her few dozen hardly mattered.
Lin Rui was in a good mood today, so he decided to let it slide.
He'd teach her a lesson in the evening.
Then Lin Rui turned to Caroline and asked, "Why not build some structures outside the territory first?"
Even in unauthorized or illegal areas, unable to benefit from various territorial traits, at least it would provide plenty of shelters for the inhabitants.
Regarding this problem, Yuyu finally found a breakthrough, her eyes lit up immediately, and she said, "Blame that stupid dragon outside. It lurks outside every day, and whenever we try to build a house outside the territory defense, it burns it down."
"Legendary Giant Dragon Presto?" Lin Rui's eyes instantly turned cold after hearing Yuyu's words.
He could allow his own people to be silly and cause some damage; it was no big deal. What, was he going to eat Yuyu?
But he would never allow anyone or anything else to threaten his side, especially such behavior as guarding bodies outside the territory!
Having just returned from the Plane War, with three of the plane's strongest having died in front of him, Lin Rui was full of killing intent.
Yuyu immediately nodded and said, "Yes, exactly. It's already scorched dozens of our territory's soldiers with sneak attacks. We've been bullied badly; it even insulted us, threatening to skewer our brave Champion Crown for a barbecue."
Yuyu's words might be exaggerated, but Lin Rui was determined that the foolish reptile had to pay!
So Lin Rui directly turned to Rose and said, "Take the Celestial Divine Priest outside the camp and shoot it down for me."
With those words, Lin Rui turned to face the three armies, raising his arm and calling out, "Tonight our territory will host a grand feast featuring Legendary Giant Dragon barbecue!"
No one doubted Lin Rui's power now; the three armies erupted into thunderous cheers!
Even if tonight meant eating in the wind and sleeping under the stars, no one would be dissatisfied.
After all, where to sleep is a choice made many times over a lifetime.
But the chance to eat Supreme Tier Legendary Giant Dragon meat might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a chance not even the most disgruntled would miss!
A Tier Nine Legendary Hero, together with a Tier Nine Legendary Celestial Divine Priest, this combination was the pinnacle of super-tier combat strength!
Especially in the Golden Pansy Domain, with powerful territorial blessings and strategic, divine traits, dispatching a Tier Ten Legendary unit was effortless, and even Tier Eleven or Twelve Legendary units were within their reach.
Hearing Lin Rui talk of eating dragon barbecue, Death's Wings immediately covered its ears, curling its head under a wing.
"What's all this about a Legendary Giant Dragon, can't hear it, can't hear it! After two planar transports, my head is still ringing, I can't hear any of this!"
