Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 793 - 126 Obtaining the Rose

With a trace of doubt, Lin Rui arrived at the World Tree Imperial Court with Rose.

This time, since Lin Rui had already handed over the items to Audrey in advance, he quickly met the Elf Empress.

Empress Yunning had changed her posture this time, leaning timidly against the back of her chair, no longer bent over the desk with a serious demeanor. Compared to her usual elegant and dignified self, her mood was noticeably joyous and relaxed.

Upon seeing Lin Rui, she took the initiative to speak: "I've heard reports of your achievements, very impressive. We are fully prepared, and with Setra barging in so recklessly, defeat is already foreseeable."

Setra was evidently blinded by hatred, its undead mind filled with resentment and a frenzied outburst of rage towards the living.

In such a scenario, it charged headlong into the elves' fully prepared and highly vigilant defense line, akin to a head-on assault on the Maginot Line.

Lin Rui, curious as well, said: "Logically, as a Monarch of the Undead, even if it's filled with resentment and rage, it shouldn't be this reckless. Even the Terror Demons would employ some direct tactics rather than mindlessly hacking away."

"This cost-ignorant attack, it's a bit too abnormal. The wisest choice would be to endure a bit, make thorough preparations, and strike when the elves least expect it."

In military strategy, the ruler should not mobilize in anger, nor should the general engage in battle out of annoyance; one should act when it's advantageous and refrain when it's not.

Its attack out of anger played right into the elves' hands.

After all, the elves couldn't possibly maintain a state of military mobilization continuously. If Setra didn't attack, the elves couldn't keep the border sealed indefinitely, nor keep a large army stationed within the fortifications.

For the elves, the best outcome is for the Tomb Army to charge in shortly after they've established a tight defense.

Theoretically, Setra isn't an idiot, so how could it charge in without hesitation when it's clear about all this?

Yunning glanced at Lin Rui and smiled: "The reason is quite simple, because of you."

"To take revenge on me, to vent its rage?" Lin Rui raised an eyebrow, did it harbor such deep hatred for him?

Yunning nodded and said: "Indeed, hatred is one aspect; time is another."

"Time? What does time have to do with it?"

Yunning smiled and said: "It has no room to wait. You Explorers only have three months to participate in the Plane War. If it doesn't attack the forest immediately, it might not have enough time to seek revenge before you leave this plane. If it wants to vent its rage again, it would be across countless worlds, reduced to impotent fury."

"As a spiteful undead, with such a buildup of anger in its chest without an outlet, over a long period, it might ignite its entire body with rage."

"You've been in this world for over a month now, right? No matter how arrogant Setra is, it couldn't break through the elves' defense line in less than a month. The time left for its revenge is running out."

Lin Rui's eyes widened instantly: "So the time I have left is also only just over a month?"

In that instant, Setra's threat was completely cast aside!

Even if he had to face Setra head-on, Lin Rui had to forge ahead.

Half the time for the Plane War had already elapsed, and Lin Rui had only completed one side mission, with no clues regarding the main mission of the Plane War.

If the Plane War ended hastily without touching the main mission, how would he face Wutong upon his return?

Compared to Wutong, Setra was nothing!

Lin Rui immediately spoke bluntly to the Elf Empress: "Your Majesty, I have very urgent matters to attend to, so I won't be polite. I heard from Grand Marshal Xinglu that you plan to personally present me with a reward?"

This mode of speaking from Lin Rui was already somewhat offensive to the Empress's authority.

But Yunning didn't mind, instead waving him off, saying: "No need to rush, I know what you're thinking. You're already close to contacting the main mission of the Plane War. Even if you're anxious, it won't matter for a day or two. Even if you return now, you can't leave the forest."

Lin Rui certainly knew the elves wouldn't let him leave, otherwise, Setra would surely depart from this elaborately set defense line by the elves. This was something neither the Elf Empress nor the Elf Marshal would allow.

Lin Rui replied: "I plan to return to reorganize the army, join the battle immediately, and assist the elves in quickly breaking the Tomb Army of Setra. To repay Your Majesty for your care."

According to Elf Marshal Xinglu's idea, they intended to use Lin Rui as bait, hanging him in front of Setra to lure the Tomb Army into a frenzied charge forward.

The elves could then rely on the defense line to shoot down the elite of the Tomb Army passing through the thorny traps extensively.

The elves could also leverage their firepower advantage to spread their troops on the flanks, continuously attacking the undead army from the side in the middle charge.

As long as the undead was envious and fanatical, charging alone in one direction, even if the forces were equal in size, the elves could have a tactical advantage.

If Lin Rui were commanding this battle, he would undoubtedly make the same tactical deployment as Grand Marshal Xinglu.

The death of an alien race is always better than the massive casualties of one's own race.

But it was precisely the Elf Empress who rejected his plan.

This was strange, was it possible that Her Majesty had some special affection for Lin Rui... why else would she care for an outsider, even at the cost of many of her kin's lives?
