Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 586 - 24: Cleaning Up the Entire Area_2

For example, if someone were to seize the top spot on the reputation leaderboard, the Legendary-Level Miracle Building: Zodiac Twelve Temples, they could continually recruit legendary Saints.

It might not take long for them to surpass Lin Rui.

After all, Lin Rui's legendary warriors numbered no more than five.

However, the merit points from the faith forces could be freely used; the Goddess was indeed generous to her own people!

Currently, Lin Rui's merit points had already reached 9000. Once the War Altar of the Goddess of Fortune was built, he would earn 10,000 merit points, enough to exchange for the most top-tier merit items.

[Legendary Hero: War Saintess Hepsis de Lioness Exchange Price: 10000 Merit Points Quantity: 1]

[Catastrophe-level Species Camp: Celestial Punishment Fear Knight Exchange Price: 10000 Merit Points Quantity: 3]

[Sacred Treasure: World Tree Spear Exchange Price: 10000 Merit Points Quantity: 1]

These three were what Lin Rui was determined to obtain!

Lin Rui researched other items and found that, besides what he exchanged, the remaining inventory was starting to decrease.

This indicated that there were other followers of the Goddess of Fortune among the Explorers.

He had to hurry to construct the altar, complete the merit tasks quickly, and exchange these three items before anyone else.

Apart from the [Catastrophe-level Species Camp: Celestial Punishment Fear Knight], which was not urgent for now, the remaining two could be immediately used in the plane war.

Especially the Legendary Female Hero: War Saintess, a figure hardly seen during peaceful times.

But in the plane war, she could be exchanged for with just 10,000 merit points.

This, apart from the Goddess of Fortune encouraging disciples to fight hard and pioneer in the plane war, had no other explanation.

This time, the war spoils had been mostly accounted for, except for one special mission item: [Book of the Dead].

[Book of the Dead: A book recording forbidden arts of dark magic. It's an academy's bounty forbidden item, deliver it to the Blood Horn Mountain Beastman Nest for a special reward from the academy.]

After reading this description, Lin Rui had one thought.

Such a lowly strategy.

Why would the academy's bounty forbidden book require delivery to the Blood Horn Mountain Beastman Nest?

Lin Rui, with his extremely high wisdom value, clearly remembered the power introduction of this world.

It was written under the mages' internal and external troubles: [The strength and brutality of mages nurture a great crisis behind them. They arrogantly treat Beastmen and Beastkind as slaves, guards, and playthings. Suffering under the weight of servitude, Beastmen have already raised the banner of rebellion in unnoticed corners, intending to win freedom from mages through lengthy and bloody uprisings. But mages are not only arrogant; they also hold a large number of magic puppets and divine statue troops. In crushing the Beastman uprising, powerful mages might further discover the mysteries of magic and life, potentially ending the Saint Hall's dominance. Is it knowledge's victory or the continuous dominance? We shall see.]

The Beastman uprising had already occurred in various unnoticed corners.

Perhaps this special mission item was part of the Beastman uprising, leading to contact with the rebellion, participating in the world's romantic revolutionary epic, and overthrowing the mages' brutal rule. Witnessing the rise of the seventh great faction, the Beastmen.

To be fair, Lin Rui was quite interested in all this.

Only by destroying a powerful force and the academy's core would he come into contact with the world's biggest secrets.

And by participating in the Beastman's rise, becoming one of the world's seven dominant forces, he would also reach the world's greatest secrets and highest authority.

Only then was it possible to touch upon the mainline mission.

Honestly, what the mainline mission was, Lin Rui still had no clue so far.

Lin Rui decisively decided to deliver this special mission item to the Blood Horn Mountain Beastman Nest, connect with the Beastmen, and participate in their uprising. Meanwhile, if possible, use the Beastmen's power to guard the War Altar of the Goddess of Fortune.

Truly guard the Goddess.

However, before that, Lin Rui had to first lead his troops to Matthew's territory to loot it once.

After settling all the war spoils, Lin Rui looked at the others, "Where's Audrey? I had her clean up the battlefield, but she's disappeared? Why hasn't she finished yet after all this time?"

He needed to know she wasn't cleaning up by herself but had first raised a massive force of hundreds of thousands of Low-Tier Skeleton Soldiers to scour the area.

After collecting all the items, she would then reorganize the monsters into her army.

The Legendary Dark Demon Spear, in particular, could boost her Resurrection skill by LV10. Her progress in reviving soldiers should have been incredibly fast.

Violet looked around and replied to Lin Rui, "There's no sign of Audrey nearby. Should I send the aerial cavalry to look for her?"

Lin Rui nodded and said, "Go find her. If you don't, you'll never know what strange things her little head will concoct."

The speed of the aerial cavalry was extremely fast; after all, they were already Tier Five and all had the high-speed flight ability, flying at Mach ten speed, capable of flying over most of Blue Star within half an hour.

Very soon, the aerial cavalry found Audrey, but this time Lin Rui truly wronged her.

Seeing Lin Rui, her small face was extremely serious as she said, "Lord, I scoured the battlefield and still couldn't find Matthew's coveted treasure. It seems to have vanished all of a sudden. Absolutely nowhere to be found on the battlefield."

There's such a thing?

She continued, "I've already raised Matthew's corpse with the Resurrection skill. He's now an epic-level Witch Demon King riding a Bone Dragon, capable of maintaining a significant army. But despite his army searching for this treasure, it was nowhere to be found. It was as if the treasure had vanished without a trace!"

There's such a thing?

Lin Rui stood atop a Griffin, leapt into the air, and surveyed the battlefield surroundings.

At that moment, a truly grand scene unfolded on the battlefield.

Millions of skeletons were raised by the necromancers, digging and searching with bone knives and bone spears on the battlefield.

The entire battlefield had been turned upside down, with not an inch of land left unchecked.

These undead might not boast substantial combat prowess; a single knight could kill a large number with just a passive aura, and several thousand or tens of thousands of skeletons might not even bring down a Tier Five knight.

However, they were extremely qualified as laborers or slaves, meticulously searching every corner of the battlefield. Yet, even with such efforts, the undead treasure hadn't been found. It truly seemed the treasure was not on the battlefield!

When Lin Rui landed atop a Griffin, Violet asked, "Could the treasure have returned to Matthew's territory?"

Audrey immediately shook her head and said, "Impossible. Matthew's already a summoned creature I raised with the Resurrection skill. His soul is so different from mine that he can't resist my control. If the treasure were still in his territory, he wouldn't be able to hide it from me."

Lin Rui thought for a moment, then looked around the battlefield, saying, "Do you remember Emperor Setra's command?"

Violet asked, "No occupation or development allowed here?"

"Exactly," Lin Rui said, "The treasure might automatically bind to a lord of the Graveyard influence, and it should still be nearby. Quickly eradicate all surrounding forces. I don't believe the treasure won't return!"

Audrey cheerfully laughed and asked, "Father, should every hero command troops nearby to clear the battlefield, occupy resource buildings, and recruitment points?"

Lin Rui nodded and decisively said, "All heroes will lead their own troops, advancing in five directions, sweeping the entire area quickly! Overrun everything, clear all monsters and buildings!"

Audrey immediately rejoiced, exclaiming, "Yay! Watch me perform! I'll show you what protecting the strongest territory means!"

As the forces of division, her army was the happiest, able to exert its maximal combat power, contrary to when cooperating with the territory's main forces. Even so, her resurrected soldiers' progress should indeed be quick.
