Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 759 - 109: You Fear War

Just as Lin Rui said, the map displayed the Undead Army nearly encircling the entire forest, waves of black relentlessly crashing against the Elven defense line.

Hearing Lin Rui's voice, several generals around the table turned to look at him.

Some were intrigued, others showed hostility.

After all, at this time, the only human able to enter the Jade Heart was Lin Rui.

An elf with snow-white hair and beard sat at the far end of the long table, hands clasped under his chin, looking at Lin Rui, he said, "This is all the trouble you stirred up. What do you plan to do about it?"

Lin Rui immediately looked at him, "What do you mean trouble I stirred up? Aren't I following the Empress's will?"

Rose hurriedly tugged on Lin Rui's arm and said, "Calm down, this is Marshal Xinglu, the commander of the Elf Expeditionary Army, and both the Star Nebula Sage and Xingluo the Great Sage are descendants of Marshal Xinglu."

Lin Rui's pupils instantly trembled, "Star Nebula Sage? The old man who stopped us from sparring?"

Rose immediately nodded.

Lin Rui took a deep breath. The Star Nebula Sage was already that old, and he still had an active father.

A clear demonstration of the elven advantage as a longevity species.

Rose then introduced Lin Rui, "Marshal Xinglu is the top commander of this campaign and the Chief of Staff of the Imperial Court's Expeditionary Department. Over ten thousand years, the Marshal has fought in hundreds of large-scale wars, countless battles, each a resounding victory, never defeated in hundreds of battles, making him our elves' unparalleled Military God."

Rose then bowed to Xinglu, saying, "Lord Xinglu, this is our esteemed guest among the elves, Hope's Light, Lin Rui: Golden Pansy."

Hope's Light?

Lin Rui didn't even know he had such a dazzling title among the elves.

Xinglu nodded and said, "I have heard of you. My son Star Nebula also gave you high praise."

A true father-son duo indeed.

Lin Rui immediately returned the courtesy, "That's flattery from everyone."

This old man right here is one of the elves' greatest assets!

Having fought in hundreds of battles, and never losing even once. Arguably, this is the elves' trump card.

With him, the Undead are likely to face a crushing defeat unless they have some special means.

Undefeated in hundreds of battles, this record is what Lin Rui aspires to achieve someday in its entirety.

Lin Rui is already somewhat undefeated now, but to reach the level of Grand Marshal Xinglu, he still has a long way to go.

And Grand Marshal Xinglu was unceremonious, replying, "You're right, I also thought the praise for you was exaggerated, just a lucky one at best."

Lin Rui immediately glared back, this old guy really had a strong opinion of him.

"Even a lucky one managed to obtain the Eye of Light. So many talented and intelligent geniuses among the elves couldn't bring the Eye of Light back. Is it that all of you are just talk, or have the elves been abandoned by fortune?"

Oland immediately stood up, face full of anger, "Marshal Xinglu, he is slandering, mocking our entire elf clan, let me kill him!"

Marshal Xinglu remained expressionless, even did not react at all, calmly glanced at Lin Rui with his peripheral vision, and said, "Youngster, don't think that just because you have the Empress's favor, you can speak recklessly. Even if I kill you, the Empress won't do anything to me."

An overwhelming murderous aura came pressing down, that killing intent seemed to solidify, and every inch of Lin Rui's skin felt like it was being pricked painfully.

Even Jade Ice could not resist this kind of soul oppression.

But although Lin Rui's face was pale, his demeanor remained calm and steady, and he said coolly, "Saying something meaningless like this doesn't need more words. If you kill me, perhaps the Empress indeed won't do anything to you, but the Empress's eternal great enterprise would be destroyed. Can you bear to do that?"

The overwhelming, solidified murderous intent suddenly dissipated.

Grand Marshal Xinglu's cold face showed a hint of approval, saying, "Not bad, you remain unflinching even as the sky collapses. It seems I can see a shadow of my younger self in you. Maybe in the future, we can fight side by side."

In the future?

Lin Rui looked at him in surprise, momentarily unable to figure out what this meant?

Fighting side by side was already a reality, wasn't it?

So when is this 'future' referring to?

However, Grand Marshal Xinglu didn't say more, instead he addressed everyone, "Please be seated, now that everyone is here, let's begin today's strategic meeting."

Rose immediately pulled Lin Rui to sit next to the long table and said to him, "You sit behind me."

Lin Rui grumbled discontentedly, "What? My status isn't enough to be at the table, and I have to sit behind you?"

Grand Marshal Xinglu glanced at him, saying, "Arrange a seat for him too, just right next to Weiwei."

Eh? Lin Rui looked at Rose in surprise.

Turns out everyone really calls her Weiwei!

But this 'Weiwei' is clearly a term of affection from the elders.

And Oland also used it.

Rose quickly gave Lin Rui a look, secretly shaking her head, signaling him not to agree.

But Lin Rui smiled at her, directly pulled out a chair, and sat to Rose's left, taking a seat at the table.

Grand Marshal Xinglu smiled and said, "Youth is indeed formidable. Very well, young people must have this dare-to-fight spirit, only then can they have a promising future."

Rose sighed, also pulling out a chair to sit down, and quietly said to Lin Rui, "You were originally part of our Imperial Court Guard's defense line. All you needed was to stay in my line, and there would be absolutely no danger. Now that you've taken a seat, Grand Marshal Xinglu can assign you tasks, and I won't be able to protect you!"
