Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 633 - 48: Cavalry Division’s Raid
After reviewing the attributes of the Crimson Heavy Armored Dragon Rider, Lin Rui was pleasantly surprised. As long as Audrey is diligent, meditates frequently, and drinks potions often, the Golden Pansy Domain will soon gain over a dozen of these epic-level powerful Dragon Knights.
Moreover, these are vampires, capable of enhancing the strength of the Crimson Mist for all vampires.
Now, the territory already has hundreds of vampires, meaning all vampires can recover nearly five hundred points of life value simply by providing opponents.
In low-tier battles, this is incredibly powerful, and for those below tier five, this is a divine skill of recovery.
Even above tier five, it can enhance the vampires' sustainability, with these dozen Dragon Riders continuously charging from behind enemy lines using anvil hammer tactics, quickly breaking the enemy forces apart.
Now that the warhammer is ready, Lin Rui naturally needs to enhance the anvil's resistance capabilities.
The family's main resistance troops are undoubtedly the Black Banner Guard.
This force has followed Lin Rui for a very long time, and it's time to help them enhance their strength.
So, Lin Rui directly signed an Imperial Military Decree, granting 50 points of glory to the Black Banner Guard. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Lin Rui's choices were to upgrade soldiers to Heroic Spirit Level Officers, Strategic-level Musicians, and Strategic-level Flag Bearers, consuming 30 points of glory for these three enhancements.
The transformation of the Heroic Spirit Level Officer is not significant, mainly raising one soldier in each squad of the Black Banner Guard to Heroic Spirit Level.
If there's no intervention from the Commander, a Heroic Spirit Level soldier can easily chop through a squad of elite soldiers.
After all, a giant dragon is only Heroic Spirit Level; if they charge into a human infantry formation, the outcome is predictable.
With the Commander Bonus, this disparity is slightly reduced. Despite this, promoting a soldier to Heroic Spirit Level is very fitting, as each formation will have one Heroic Spirit Level Officer, and in the future, as the Black Banner Guard expands, this single special rule can provide thousands of Heroic Spirit Level soldiers for the Golden Pansy Domain.
Strategic-level Musicians are rare level soldiers, primarily offering the strategic trait of [Generous Military Music: Musicians can inspire soldiers' fighting spirit and morale through music and performance. They play stirring military songs to evoke courage and pride among the warriors. Movement speed +30%, physical defense +30%, base attack +100% for the same squad soldiers.]
Flag Bearers, like Musicians, are rare level soldiers, offering the strategic trait of [Flags Flying: Flag Bearers can boost the morale and fighting spirit of warriors through the presentation and waving of flags. They hold high the banner, symbolizing the army's honor and unity. Crit rate +5%, critical strikes add 10% divine damage, gain a [Momentum like a Rainbow] status upon killing enemies, overall attack power +30%, lasting 10 seconds for the same squad soldiers.]
The combat strength boosts provided by these two traits are equivalent to a strategic treasure, although unlike strategic treasures, if Musicians or Flag Bearers fall, the squad's combat strength enhancement will become ineffective.
For the remaining 20 points of glory, after weighing things, Lin Rui chose the trait [Automatic Attack].
[Automatic Attack: During damage calculation, every point of output that fails to generate effective damage is doubly converted into one's own defensive shield.]
The most suitable way to enhance the sturdiness of the Black Banner Guard.
Furthermore, as enemy strength increases, their damage reduction, physical defense, and super high block will lead to reduced effective soldier output. Under this trait's enhancement, it will make soldiers tenacious against strong enemies; the stronger the enemy, the tougher the Black Banner Guard becomes.
The positioning of the Black Banner Guard has never been about output. In battle, the demand placed on them is not about how many enemies they can kill but about enduring damage and stabilizing the line, and that's enough.
After the troops were reorganized, Violet found Lin Rui and asked, "Lord, where should our troops be marching now?"
Lin Rui responded decisively, "To the Human Falcon Empire."
Yalanna giggled, covering her mouth, and said, "You really don't want to wait even a quarter-hour. Are we going to snatch the Human Imperial Military Decree right away?"
"Not just for the military decree," Lin Rui said calmly. "In the thousand-year war, humans and the Graveyard are mortal enemies. Before the loss of the Eye of Light, Emperor Setra was leading an army to attack humans, intending to seize human dominance and establish the Graveyard era."
Audrey immediately chimed in happily, "I know, I know! Once we enter the human nation, if the Graveyard pursues us, they'll first clash with the Human Empire's guard forces!"
Indeed, Lin Rui planned to exploit the conflicts between their major factions to reap benefits amidst the chaos.
Violet frowned slightly, asking, "But, under that scenario, our army also has a significant number of undead. Wouldn't the humans attack us too?"
Terion also said, "Yes, Lord, we are carrying the [Eye of Light]. The Human Empire's guard forces probably won't let us pass easily. They might even actively attack us!"
Lin Rui waved his hand, saying, "That's not too much of an issue. I've studied the intelligence of this world; the human camps mainly operate on plains, surrounded by dense forests. We'll advance from the forest, and the Human Falcon Empire won't be able to determine our precise path. Their main forces won't catch up with us."
Audrey's eyes lit up, commenting, "I remember the human camp is led by the Divine Falcon Empire, with the Seven Holy Countries watching closely. If we advance, isn't there a high chance to enter one particular kingdom? Maybe even a specific duchy!"
