Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 637 - 50: An Insignificant Pusher

Although Lin Rui decisively rejected Chu Wudi's proposal, he did not give up.

Soon Chu Wudi replied: "Lin Rui, relying solely on our Explorer's strength, we cannot shake such a vast power system as the Colonization Star. I know what you're worried about, you're afraid of breaking through Kesilina City and summoning the Third Faction Army, wreaking havoc on the plains, and angering the Saint Hall, right?"

"That's right!" Lin Rui did not hide it.

Do not look at how he is currently advancing high-spiritedly into the human territory, with the clear intent of diverting the disaster eastward.

But to the senior leadership of the Human Empire, there was no furious thunder. It was just some petty Earl's Domains jumping around, shouting to attack Lin Rui.

This is because the interests of the human empire senior leaders actually align with Lin Rui's.

They and Setra are mortal enemies; they do not wish for the Eye of Light in Lin Rui's hand to be retaken by Setra.

The only difference is that the moderates hold a shred of unrealistic fantasy, hoping to block Lin Rui in the forest. Let the Elves and Emperor Setra first fight a war, then humans appear to crush the weakened Setra, seize the Eye of Light, thus completely weakening the Tombyard Influence, eliminating the threat to human dominance.

But the hardliners are more rational. The Elves have the World Tree Root, and they can teleport the Eye of Light to any plain location at any time. If the Elves do not want this thing, should humans interfere or not? If not, Setra retakes it, they will still battle the Saint Hall to the death. The enmity formed from millennia of war is not easily dismissed.

If they interfere, humans inevitably have to wage a deadly battle with the Graveyard.

As the dominant force, most of the rationale lies with the senior leaders. The Eye of Light was snatched out of the Graveyard, and as the most expansive force on the continent, humans must fight a battle with the Graveyard.

Therefore, the Empire's elite troops have never fully committed to the siege.

These grassroots little Counts shout to attack, because they don't want the battle to happen near their domain.

But if Lin Rui further lures the Third Faction Army upon the humans, causing rampant burning and slaughtering on the plains, leading to devastation in the Saint Hall, it would be akin to dancing on the Saint Hall's grave.

Lin Rui could not possibly ignore the stable route in favor of doing such a thing.

Lin Rui found engaging in guerrilla warfare with the human Counts rather enjoyable.

But Chu Wudi said: "Rest assured, the reinforcements are not in Kesilina City. This is a Divine Hall city of the humans, reportedly housing a holy artifact from the Divine Spirit era, said to be of unparalleled significance to humans. So if you attack this city, you could attract much human attention. The reinforcements' position is at the largest fortress on the Red River Plain, Orandu."

"Orandu?" Lin Rui raised his eyebrows: "Where the human western coalition army is located?"

"That's correct. This is a plan we Explorers jointly devised, to detonate Orandu. There are numerous legions and mercenary groups coming and going there, and you've never been there. Under no circumstances would humans suspect you."

Audrey appeared surprised, saying, "Father, if that's the case, it seems we can help them with this task. If Orandu is detonated, the reinforcements will be positioned behind us, directly blocking Emperor Setra's advancing troops. Moreover, so many different factions and church members are present there, with some worshiping the Evil God, concocting a conspiracy, which is indeed reasonable. Even if humans are suspicious, they would first investigate those church members."

Violet solemnly shook her head, saying, "We shouldn't think that way. This was already a tear caused by their internal beliefs. It has nothing to do with our assault on Kesilina City. It just so happens that we are attacking Kesilina City. The potential insane cultists launched their conspiracy. Detonating Orandu Fortress has nothing to do with us from beginning to end."

"Right! Right!" Audrey clapped her hands happily, saying, "Exactly. We're now nearly a thousand miles from Orandu Fortress, what does their riot have to do with us? You can't blame us for any chaos that happens on the plains."

Lin Rui, deep in thought, asked Chu Wudi: "Is it the demons?"

"I cannot disclose." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Then that must be it.

How could demons not meddle in such chaos?

Detonating a city on the bustling human plains, opening a demon teleportation gate with countless blood to bring over millions, tens of millions of demons, is the demons' greatest desire!

Moreover, the demons in this world are not at all complacent; Emperor Setra lost the Eye of Light last time because the Imperial Court was detonated by demons, turning the entire Imperial Mausoleum into ruins.

The demons, attempting to snatch benefits and ending up losing the Eye of Light, even provoked Emperor Setra to rampage through Hell for a hundred years.

How could they not seek revenge, considering the demons' vengeful nature?

Regarding how Blue Star Explorers got involved with this world's cultists and conspired with demons, Lin Rui had no interest; they already had many restless individuals in the Azure Realm, worshipping demons.

In this world, colluding with demons for mayhem was not surprising to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui replied directly: "Then I decline to accompany."

The private chat channel fell silent, Audrey anxiously tugged Lin Rui's arm: "Don't, Father, why refuse? I think it's worth a try; isn't this a great opportunity to fish in troubled waters?"
