Ironclad grinned from ear to ear, patting the shield hard: "Lord, this shield is heavy and sturdy! I like it!"

Lin Feng smiled and waved his hand. Tie Dun hugged the shield and returned to his seat, looking at it over and over again, then wiped the shield with his sleeve.

Lin Feng then took out four more items from the box.

Two fist-sized gems, one crimson like lava, seemingly containing an inextinguishable flame.

The other piece is as cool and clear as the moon, its internal energy flowing like moonlight, gentle and serene.

The other two are fist-sized purple energy crystals, completely transparent, with nebula-like light slowly flowing inside. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"President Su, Feng Qingyan, this is for you."

Lin Feng pushed the Crimson Flame Gem and a Purple Crystal toward Feng Qingyan, and the Frost Moon Gem and another Purple Crystal toward Su Yuehua.

"I'll take some time these next few days to have a craftsman forge the staff, which will allow your spells to reach another level of power."

Feng Qingyan stood up abruptly and took two steps to the side of the main seat.

Holding the crimson gem and the amethyst in his hands, his voice brimming with barely suppressed joy, he exclaimed, "Lord Lin! This is so beautiful! I was just worried about needing to replace my staff!"

Su Yuehua also stood up, walked to the main seat, accepted the staff with both hands, and smiled gently: "Thank you, Lord Lin. I will forge the new staff as soon as possible."

Next, Lin Feng took out several more pieces of purple equipment and distributed them one by one.

The powerful individuals who received support from various countries and the generals of Zhenyue City were all given a piece of purple equipment.

Zhao Hu received a pair of dark brown combat boots, put them on immediately without saying a word, stomped his feet twice, and nodded in satisfaction: "Good boots, they fit perfectly."

Everyone gained something, and the atmosphere in the hall became incredibly lively.

Lin Feng and the others quieted down a bit, then smiled and continued, "Alright, let's start distributing the other part now."

He called out four names at once: "Wang Wu, Jianyan, Shi Pojun, Feng Qingshuang."

The four men stood up at the same time and walked to the center of the hall, right fist to chest, back straight.

Lin Feng took out four advanced job change books from the box: two for Breaking Formation Archers, one for Iron Wall Guardians, and one for Shield Mages, and handed them to the four people respectively.

"The four of you have all performed well recently. This is considered territory support. Each of you will be on credit for 5,000 merit points, which you can pay back slowly later."

The four responded in unison, "Thank you, lord."

Shi Pojun and Feng Qingshuang each took the booklet and returned to their seats.

Wang Wu and Jian Yan sat back down on the left side, eagerly flipping through the booklet to check the attributes.

【Advanced Job Change Book: Formation Breaker Archer】

Base stat bonuses after job change: Strength +50%, Agility +30%

Special Effect 1: Triple Shot (Active, 30-second cooldown)

Three arrows are fired instantly, each targeting the same target or three different targets, with each arrow dealing 80% of the attacker's attack power as damage.

Special Effect 2: Armor-Piercing Heavy Arrow (Active, 30-second cooldown)

Charge up an arrow to deal 150% of your attack power as damage.

Arrow Eye glanced at the booklet in Wang Wu's hand, a rare smile playing on his lips. He lowered his voice and said, "Brother Wu, we can unlock our power awakening too. We don't need to be bystanders anymore."

Wang Wu smiled and shook his head, his gaze falling on the four words "armor-piercing heavy arrows".

His voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement: "Power awakening... I never dared to dream of it before. The lord has given us the best of everything, and we cannot betray this trust."

Lin Feng sat back in the main seat and glanced at everyone: "As for the others, I remember your contributions. If there are suitable equipment or job change books later, they will be allocated to you first."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and another round of hushed discussion ensued.

Lin Feng picked up his teacup, took a sip, put it down, and softened his tone: "That's all for the spoils distribution for now. There are no major battles scheduled for the next nine days. ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) You can arrange your time as needed, rest if you need to, and train if you need to."

Everyone responded enthusiastically. Some people had already started looking down at the equipment they had just been assigned, while others were discussing the use of the new skills with their companions.

Ivan, General Rajput, and Nguyen Van Thieu exchanged glances, stood up simultaneously, walked to the center of the council hall, and clasped their hands in greeting to Lin Feng.

Ivan spoke first, his tone less cheerful than usual: "Lord Lin, the situation in Chiyo City isn't looking good. The three of us need to head to Dongzhi City today."

Lin Feng nodded and stood up: "Be careful on the road. If you can't hold out, retreat first. Fenghuo Territory will always be your escape route."

Ivan grinned and said, "With Lord Lin's words, I can rest assured."

The three men clasped their hands in greeting to the crowd, then turned and strode out of the council hall.

Footsteps echoed hurriedly in the corridor before disappearing outside the door.

The hall quieted down, and Lin Feng sat down again, his gaze falling on Lu Dingchuan, who was sitting on his right: "Lord Lu, how is the battle at Qiandai City going?"

Lu Dingchuan paused for a moment before speaking: "The situation is very bad. Although the Orc King is entangled by the three strongest humans, his strength is still too great, and the Orc army still has about 250,000 men."

The current defensive strength of Chiyo Castle is insufficient to hold out for long. The various national advisors predict that without external assistance, Chiyo Castle will fall within twelve days.

He paused for a moment, then said, "The current situation is that the only territory left of the Sakura Kingdom is Chiyo Castle. They have no territory to rely on for the Beacon Fire Territory. Once the castle falls, the Sakura Kingdom will be destroyed on Blue Star."

Yesterday, a level 39 expert from the Sakura Kingdom tried to break through to the Beacon Fire Territory during the daytime chaos, carrying the Village Building Token, but was intercepted and killed by orcs on the way.

Chiyo Castle is now surrounded on three sides, and there is basically no other way to escape except for a collective breakout.

However, if they attempt a collective breakout, Chiyo Castle will most likely fall before the powerful figures from the Sakura Kingdom reach the Beacon Fire Territory, and the outcome will be the same.

The atmosphere in the council chamber became heavy.

Although people don't have a good impression of Japan, when it comes to the life and death of more than 100 million people on Earth, no one can take it easy.

Tie Dun lowered the mountain shield, and Zhao Hu's expression darkened.

Su Yurou sighed softly, and Feng Qingyan's smile faded.

Lin Feng leaned back in his chair and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest twice.

He lowered his gaze, as if pondering something. After a moment, he said in a low voice, "Twelve days... that's barely enough time."

The sound wasn't loud, but everyone in the quiet hall could hear it clearly.

Tie Dun was taken aback: "Lord, what did you say?"

Lin Feng did not answer. He picked up the iced tea on the table, finished the last sip, put down the teacup, stood up, glanced at everyone, and said in a flat tone, "You may all leave."

He turned and walked towards the stairwell, his pace neither fast nor slow.

The group exchanged glances and stood up one after another, the sound of chairs being pushed away echoing throughout the room.

Ironclad, clutching the giant shield, hesitated as he walked to the door, glanced back at the stairwell, and then turned back.

The door to the second-floor room closed gently behind him, making a very soft "click".

Ironclad stood outside the door, scratched his head, and muttered under his breath, "The time the lord mentioned is barely enough... what can you possibly do with that time?"

Zhao Hu walked by and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't ask too many questions, just wait."
