Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 696 - 78: The Terrifying Elf Empress_2

When the battle on the Red River Plain comes to an end, the main forces of the Saint Hall, Graveyard, and Hell will suffer heavy losses.

The Elf Empress is not unaware that the evil factions may collude with each other; in fact, this is precisely what she anticipates.

Hell and the Graveyard have both invested endless main forces, and with Setra's madness, these two factions have completely strangled each other, forcing humans to face the onslaught of the Apocalypse Destruction Knight.

The dazzling white light is clearly the intervention of the human supreme-tier existence, restraining Setra's Apocalypse Destruction Knight.

No matter the victor or loser, both sides will suffer severe losses to their strength.

If the academy is hit by a rebel attack from the Beastmen, then within the six major factions of the world, only the Elves and Dark Elves will retain their strength, while the other four will fall into severe weakness.

But the Dark Elves have never been able to defeat the Elves! The Elves could exile the Dark Elves once, and they can exile them a second time now!

The white light lasted for about three hours before Lin Rui was finally able to slowly see the state of the world.

At this moment, the entire Red River Plain is completely in ruins!

Black blood stains the earth extensively, intersecting ravines cut the entire plain into fragments, the center of the battlefield has been beaten into a subterranean area over a hundred meters deep, and hundreds of miles of range have directly turned into a basin, within which are dense corpses, broken spears, and shattered longswords, with tattered flags soaked in blood covering the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Lin Rui was incredibly shocked and asked, "Has the battle already ended?"

Starlight Sage laughed arrogantly, "Ended? Hahaha! The real battle has just begun."

Are you crazy?

The fight has reached such a state, and yet you say it has just started?

This is a landscape of corpses and blood, with elite armies losing by the millions!

What kind of concept is this? Even if a strategic nuclear bomb covers a medium-sized country and brings about the end of the world, it could not cause such terrifying destruction.

And this is just the beginning of the battlefield. With another burst of dazzling light, a Floating City appeared in the sky, and a densely packed Angel Legion emerged from the heavens.

On the ground, the demons had already had their teleportation gate destroyed, leaving only scattered troops, while Emperor Setra's legion continuously emerged from a dark teleportation gate, an orderly Undead Legion obscuring the mountains and covering the basin, cutting off the Red River; the entire world was filled with armies of the undead.

This made Lin Rui unable to imagine where Setra was storing so many corpses?

As the holy horn sounded from the sky, a vast number of White Knights galloped forth, turning the green prairie into a snowy field, while angels in the sky poured down like waves.

Immediately, Lin Rui widened his eyes in shock and said, "If… if I'm seeing correctly, these angels are coming towards us!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Lin Rui even saw a great number of Twelve-winged Angels among them, their bodies radiant with golden light, cloaked in a majestic divine glow.

The vigorous Spiritual Reaction was almost explosive; with just one glance, it felt as though his eyes were being burned by the Holy Light.

This is not an exaggerated metaphor, but a real occurrence!

In the frigid Holy Light of the angels, any unit from the other factions had their Life burned by the Holy Light, Life Value rapidly declining like flowing water.

The arrogant expression on Starlight Sage's face faded for the first time, revealing a hint of solemnity.

His heroic and unruly eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he said gravely, "Humans, as the dominant force of this era, have aces stronger than we imagined."

Brother! Now is not the time to care about human aces.

You're not going to fight humans here, are you?

Humans have obviously ignited true anger and are showing all their cards.

I think no matter how strong you are, a lone individual won't stand a chance in front of the Celestial Kingdom Armament, right?

Moreover, I don't care if you get beaten, but if you don't leave now, when these angels rush over, it'll be truly impossible for anyone to escape.

The armies of Golden Pansy Domain will undoubtedly suffer heavy casualties in such a fierce battle.

This is a battle that cannot be won, and with no spoils to be gained, Lin Rui has no interest in fighting it out.

Lin Rui had to actively say, "Humans are attacking, and their purpose is clear—to force us to retreat. Now is not the time to battle humans with finality. Do not be impulsive."

Once Golden Pansy Domain uses the World Tree Root to leave, even if Emperor Setra is burning with true fire, he has no choice but to retreat.

But initiating a retreat in this vast Red River Plain, when faced with endless waves of pursuing cavalry, would certainly result in heavy losses!

It can only be said that Lin Rui successfully attracted Emperor Setra to such an extent that it exceeded expectations, making it almost unacceptable to humans, who are now furious!

However, Starlight Sage was still dissatisfied.

If the depth demonstrated by humans is simply retreated from, future battles between the forest and the Saint Hall would still suffer huge losses.

It is necessary to persist a bit longer, forcing humans and the Graveyard into fierce clashes, and inflicting even more tragic costs.

But Golden Pansy Domain can no longer wait, as the human angels are about to kill their way here.

The boundless Holy Light fell like a shower of golden longswords, turning the world into a domain of sword light.

Yalanna had no choice but to take a deep breath and directly activate her ultimate skill.

[Dazzling Dance: Radiant Splendor lvmax: Dark Night Goddess enters a highly dazzling dance state, captivating surrounding enemies and inspiring allied forces. Upon activation, Dark Yalanna gains invincibility for 3 seconds, and all friendly units within a 10,000-meter radius around her Dazzling Dance area receive 20% enhancement in all attributes and a 1% Life recovery per second buff effect lasting for 10 seconds. Consumes 10% Spiritual Energy Value, cooldown time 600 seconds.]

The likewise splendid Sub-Invincible Shield instantly shone bright in the midst of the vast army formation, where the magnificent shield clashed with the frosty sword light, filling the world with sparkling explosions of Spiritual Energy.

Lin Rui immediately said to Starlight Sage, "We can withdraw our troops! Humans have launched a mighty cavalry charge, and if Emperor Setra is not insane, it's impossible for him to turn around and retreat recklessly."

"What do you mean?" Starlight Sage asked, confused.

Only then did Lin Rui understand in an instant; this Starlight Sage is a cultivation fanatic but is seven-out-of-eight clueless about warfare and military affairs, knowing only one of the key aspects.

Lin Rui quickly explained, "In this situation, if Emperor Setra retreats recklessly, he will be slaughtered en masse by the human cavalry and angels, and the entire army is bound to suffer heavy damage."

"I know that," Starlight Sage responded coldly, frowning.

Lin Rui immediately continued explaining, "So to prevent the human cavalry from charging and pursuing, Emperor Setra's safest approach is to form a defensive array and repel the tide of human cavalry pursuit. Such a large-scale cavalry charge, once blocked by the undead, is difficult to immediately launch another charge."

"Thus, both sides will inevitably engage fiercely here until the momentum of the human's first wave is curbed. When the forces withdraw and regroup for another offensive, Setra will seize the interval to deploy rear guard troops while the main forces retreat."

Starlight Sage seemed to understand, asking, "Do you mean even if we retreat now, Emperor Setra, to minimize losses, has to engage humans fiercely, leading to heavy losses on both sides?"

Lin Rui nodded, saying, "Right now, we are here mainly to share the pressure on the Graveyard. They are at a critical point where all their main forces are out, while the human angels are here. This intensifies the confrontation between both sides. We should retreat, allowing them to clash fiercely and mutually destroy each other!"

Starlight Sage, who knew little about military affairs, saw Lin Rui speaking firmly and logically.

He didn't have time to think carefully and immediately waved his hand, causing the earth to suddenly shake, and a sea-like dust rose skywards, forming an umbrella, sheltering the World Tree Root and the army of Golden Pansy Domain beneath its shadow.

Below the giant umbrella, the colossal corpse of World Tree Root Giant Snake: Laidi Xichen, spanning tens of thousands of meters, could still be seen.
