Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 873 - 171: Human Federation and Compromise
Lin Rui's refusal was as expected.
The humans had already threatened to eliminate Lin Rui, so how could Lin Rui possibly join forces with the Human Empire to eliminate their own great threat?
Seeing Lin Rui directly refuse to go to battle, this Master of the Wild Hunt among the elves did not easily compromise either. Instead, he looked at Lin Rui coldly and said, "You may refuse to fight, and we can delay, but don't forget, if this Blood-colored Demon Shadow wants to assassinate, the first target will definitely be you. We elves will not protect you forever."
Lin Rui replied calmly, "It doesn't matter. If he dares to show up, my army may not necessarily be able to kill him, but stopping him is definitely not a problem."
The army of the Golden Pansy Domain may not be outstanding in terms of attack power, but in terms of defense, it is definitely second to none in the world.
Especially the Ice Blade Warriors Lin Rui had strengthened. In a state of full effort, the constructed fortifications are extremely strong. A single soldier can construct five layers of fortifications immune to spiritual damage, with a strength of up to 200,000 points. Even if only using divine damage and spiritual damage to attack, it would be difficult for even Lin Rui to destroy it all at once. And of such soldiers, Lin Rui commands thousands upon thousands. Ten thousand Ice Blade Warriors could build fortifications with a strength of up to 2 billion points.
A strength of 2 billion points, even the Shadow of Evil cannot penetrate, at least not by simply striking from a distance to level the defenses of the Golden Pansy Domain. After all, this is a skill immune to spiritual damage, relying only on true damage and divine damage. Not to mention him, even Wutong would find it difficult to output 2 billion with a single strike.
For him to attack Lin Rui, he would have to enter within the fortifications and engage in close combat with the soldiers of the Golden Pansy Domain, capturing each position one by one, killing his way through.
But this is no easy task, because many soldiers of the Golden Pansy Domain come with the Slaying Trait. The soldiers have the protection of Blood and Flesh Mountains and Rivers, as well as the Sub-Invincible Shield, making it uncertain who will emerge victorious.
More crucially, someone in the Golden Pansy Domain truly poses a deadly threat to him!
Such as Violet. Once her Sword of Justice gathers an abundance of Primordial Power, it can cleave through the Plane Wall with a single strike, causing the plane to rupture inch by inch under the sword's edge.
[Sword of Justice lv14: Justice is the strongest weapon in the hearts of men. The Knight King can gather the strongest fantasy, a glimpse of Starlight. Transcending all time and space, dreams unachievable by the masses. It serves to enhance their overall qualities. At the current tier, it can gather the beliefs of 1450 Sun Flame Knights, enhancing one's physique and will by 1450% for 14 seconds. Consumes 1000 points of Spiritual Energy Value, with a cooldown of 3 minutes.]
This was Violet's previous value. She seldom uses this skill because its power is too great, causing severe overflow. Thus, the skill level is not high, but if enough Universal Experience is poured into it, raising it to levels 30, 40, or even 60!
That one strike would undoubtedly kill the Blood Shadow.
Even now, the Sword of Justice at only level 14 can instantly boost Violet's physique and will to over 6000 points!
Although the traits haven't changed, the attack power and speed absolutely overpower the Blood-colored Demon Shadow.
For a melee Knight, physique and will are the most critical attributes, 6000 points of pure Attribute Value already far exceeds Tier-14 level, capable of cleaving the Plane Wall of a Low-Tier World in a single strike, producing plane fragments.
In 10 seconds, it is enough to inflict severe damage on the Blood-colored Demon Shadow, maybe even kill it!
So fighting desperately to the end, a Blood-colored Demon Shadow that just went berserk less than a day, lacking depth, may not necessarily be Lin Rui's match.
It is just having to constantly guard against a sneak attack by a Shadow of Evil will keep one mentally tense, restless, and in a rather uncomfortable state.
Of course, if Lin Rui is open-minded, he could easily leave such matters to his subordinates. As a military force, maintaining a level-one high alert state for a cycle or two is completely achievable.
Moreover, their wills are quite strong, and there are even many Holy Grail Knights, who never tire.
Lin Rui could well indulge deep within the fortifications every night, waging group battles with Enchanting Demons, Werewolves, and Female Mages.
But Lin Rui does not want such a decadent life until absolutely necessary.
Doing it too much becomes very bland, filled with lust and panting, not much pleasure.
Labor is the most valuable and delightful thing for one's body and mind.
Of course, this labor is positive and productive, not meaningless repetitive self-consumption.
Doing one thing and gaining something in return, like Audrey who enhances her subordinates every day makes her happy indeed, as each enhancement brings increased strength and wealth.
Yet if he were to hold his nose and help humans solve problems, giving them the convenience to turn against him, Lin Rui would rather choose to shower rain and dew, at least he could enhance the goodwill and intimacy with his subordinates.
This sort of thing, females actually also like very much. They feel that doing such things with a beloved one is an expression of love and intimacy. If someone is very resistant to it, either she doesn't love you, or… your technique is too poor. After all, even acupuncture is painful if the technique is poor.
But with Lin Rui so resolutely, Shadow Moon had to make some compromise, looked towards the Human Empire, and asked, "You intend to eliminate him?"
Nancy immediately said, "We only said the Empire has the ability to eliminate him, but never said it would certainly be implemented. Strategic deterrence is still present. However, as for you, Master Shadow Moon, how could you so easily relent? Allowing a Tier Seven outsider to bully you at will?"
