Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 763 - 111: Strength Soaring Right Before Your Eyes

Stepping out of the Jade Heart, Rose said to Lin Rui, "I think I understand now, you never intended to stay quietly behind the Imperial Guard's defensive lines, did you?"

Lin Rui shrugged, "I joined the Plane War to become ultimately powerful. Having me waste a lot of time hiding behind the lines is like wasting my life. Only those with no value would feel they have time to waste."

"Alright then." Rose knew she couldn't convince him otherwise. To him, those monsters outside weren't monsters but shiny Spirit Crystal Coins.

With so much scattered wealth in front, it's hard not to pick it up. After all, cutting off someone's financial path is like killing their parents.

"So what are you planning to do?" Rose asked, "Stepping outside the walls will be extremely dangerous. You must know that though it's unclaimed territory beyond, it's not without wandering Undead Heroes. They all wish to grind your bones to dust. Even if you meet Emperor Setra, there's fear of being torn to pieces by countless monsters."

Lin Rui didn't seem worried, isn't it just a battle? This is the specialty of the Golden Pansy Domain, and besides, this task isn't mandatory. If it truly can't be won, retreating the main force back into the forest with Audrey's army covering is still an option.

So Lin Rui casually said, "What to do? Didn't Grand Marshal Xinglu say? Rest for two days first, I've already accepted the seventh Imperial Recruitment Order, and in these two days, I'll seize the time to first build a section of defense works and receive a reward of potions and Recruitment Scrolls."

Rose was stunned, "You really aren't willing to waste even a moment, aren't you? Just squeezing every bit out, huh?"

"Waste? Only people without value waste time. For high-value people like me, time is as precious as gold. I'll head back and have Audrey's troops work round the clock to build the defenses."

"What about the day after tomorrow when you step out of the walls? How will you find Emperor Setra?"

Lin Rui calmly waved his hand and said, "The wise have their own methods. You'll come with me."

"I'll come with you?" Rose immediately refused, saying, "What a joke, I am the Imperial Guard Commander, responsible for defending the World Tree. I can't leave without permission."

Lin Rui laughed and said, "Then ask the Empress's opinion. Then come report to me. I'll wait for you to join me in battle."

Rose gritted her teeth and asked, "I'm not going! Why should I ask?"

Lin Rui spread his hands and said, "If I go ask the Empress, you might be in an awkward position, whether to listen to her command if she tells you to follow me or not. So, you ask, you can move with ease. Even if she gives you specific commands, I won't know, right?"

Rose was so angry she wanted to bite him, but with his determination, she couldn't gamble, so she summoned the World Tree vines, huffing and puffing as she went to see the Empress.

Lin Rui smiled, turned around, and walked toward the camp of the Golden Pansy Domain; he had just instructed Audrey and the Mad Witch Doctor to gather the Undead Army to prepare for a briefing and plan the construction of the defensive works.

Rose came back in a huff and said to Lin Rui, "You really jinxed it, the Empress wants me to lead an Imperial Guard division to follow you into battle! I just don't understand, why would the Empress agree to this request?"

Lin Rui laughed and said, "I think you might be overestimating your status. Your role as the Commander of the Imperial Guard is quite negligible now. Even if you leave, any random person could come and command the Imperial Guard to build the defenses well."

"But I am crucial to the overall deployment of your Elven defense. If I can't find Emperor Setra's main force, won't your defense line like an eggshell get pierced through?"

Rose gritted her teeth, "Are you saying my status is the same as a common animal?"

Lin Rui laughed and said, "What I mean is, my status surely exceeds yours now. Alright, stop dwelling on it, show me the plans for the defensive positions, I'll lead the troops to start digging right away."

Rose nearly went mad, he said all that, yet says I'm nitpicking?

She really wanted to strangle this guy.

She directly tossed out a blueprint and said, "Take a look yourself, I won't accompany you."

Lin Rui immediately took it and examined it closely.

[Epic-level Defense Works: Dome Realm Blade System: A magnificent structure of the Elf Race, created by the Great Sages of the Elf Race. They used the most profound magic, combining mysterious natural forces and the Earth's life force, to create this magnificent defensive structure. Comprised of multiple layers of Spiritual Gems and World Tree Foundation, they shimmer with a mysterious light in the sunlight.

These magic crystals have formidable magic power, capable of absorbing and transforming all physical and magical attacks. The World Tree provides an impregnable barrier that can block attacks that can't be absorbed or transformed. Each of the World Tree roots possesses unique life force; some can heal wounds, some can generate new Spiritual Gems, and others can release potent magic energy in times of danger.]

[Per kilometer consumption: Tier Five Spiritual Gem*1000, Stone Ore*10000, Iron Ore*10000, Wood*1000000, Construction speed: 24 hours/1200 units/Tier]

Epic-level Defense Works, Lin Rui's eyes lit up, no wonder the Elves had been making defensive preparations the whole previous cycle.

They truly achieved the pinnacle of readiness; once this Epic-level Defense Works is completed, it equates to the Elves regaining a strong epic-level home advantage, and when the Undead Army crashes into this defense, it'll be devastating.
