Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 865 - 167: Battle Plan

The Elf Empress was so resolute that everyone could only follow her instructions and look at the subsequent battle plan.

Turning over the first page of the Attributes chapter, the elf's battle plan formally came into view.

The title of the first chapter is "Elite Beheading Squad: Shadow Blade Dance."

[Under the endless stars, the Colonization Star Continent weaves together mystery and danger. On this vast land, many forces vie for power and glory. At the center of the storm, a powerful mage poses an unprecedented threat to the Elf Race with endless magic power and wisdom.]

[In response to this severe challenge, the Elf Imperial Court decided to form an elite squad—the Shadow Blade Dance.]

[Shadow Blade Dance, like a meteor in the night sky, tears through the darkness, shocking and deadly. Its members are the strongest and most cunning warriors selected from the Elf Race. Each member has undergone rigorous selection, excelling not only in martial arts but also mastering unique magic skills. Whether merging into shadows, manipulating elements, or breaking through enemy defenses, they can complete their mission with ease.]

[The main task of this squad is to penetrate deep behind enemy lines, locate and eliminate enemy high command and key figures, create chaos, and weaken enemy combat strength. They act quickly and ruthlessly, often completing their mission and disappearing into the darkness before the enemy becomes aware.]

Lin Rui clicked his tongue; this plan was obviously revised in a hurry. At the center of the storm, a powerful mage posed an unprecedented threat to the Elf Race with endless magic power and wisdom.

If this is meant to describe the Shadow of Evil, it's a bit of a stretch.

If Lin Rui was barely considered a mage, it could be explained, but the ultimate task of this squad is to infiltrate behind enemy lines, which is inexplicable.

The Shadow of Evil is just one person; where is the "enemy lines"?

Lin Rui didn't believe such a large elf force couldn't draft a battle plan in an afternoon. With so many civil officials, staff, secretaries, and advisors, surely they could embellish the language of this plan a bit?

Yet the Empress still threw this plan directly out, making it hard to say she didn't target the Academy Faction.

Lin Rui glanced expressionlessly at Master Guriel who showed no reaction, forcing him to withdraw his gaze and ponder the

motives of the Academy.

The Academy's presence was the most peculiar.

Theoretically, they should be the least afraid of the Blood-colored Demon Shadow. After all, the Ancient Saint Great Mage alone could match the Shadow of Evil, and if he had the support of the entire Academy, the odds of capturing it were likely very high!

Yet this force, capable of sitting back and reaping the benefits, was the first to send a delegation to the Elf Imperial Court. To say they had no ambition, no purpose, Lin Rui couldn't believe no matter what.

But whatever their purpose was, Lin Rui didn't really care.

Now, Lin Rui only wants one thing: to survive steadily until the end of the world war and, if possible, to seize any overlooked treasure from the division of the Elf Imperial Court.

The last thing he wants is unforeseen complications.

But currently, it seems the Elf Imperial Court has become the center of the world's vortex, with all forces ambitious and difficult to guess their hidden objectives.

The Empress had evidently sensed all this, so she purposely intimidated the Academy Faction, urging them to behave.

And the greatest deterrent to the Academy is this introduction of the Shadow Dance.

[Shadow Dance Combat Method: Dark Execution]

[Using the Power of Darkness to form a Shadow Sky Curtain, under which all units can only engage in Divine Confrontation, unable to use any skills]

This is a catastrophic disaster for mages. If a mage cannot use magic, only wielding a magic staff to strike, even a 14th-level Great Mage might not be able to defeat a 10th-level Assassin.

Gulian frowned and said, "There seem to be many abilities of forced confrontation like this. Can this effect take hold? Don't forget, the Shadow of Evil has the ability to be immune to all targeting skills. Your Divine Duel initiation against it would be directly negated by its trait."

Rose introduced, "This is detailed below; the duel is not initiated against the Shadow of Evil. Instead, it relies on the Mythical Level Artifact: Dark Sky to directly create an arena. It forms a Mythical Level Alternate Space, in which everyone inside is subjected to regulatory suppression, like the ancient Beast Fighting Arena, engaging in combat against opponents."

"Thus, they might face a single opponent or dozens!"

This imposes another extreme restriction on mages, who are already fragile without skill usage, losing large-scale destructive capabilities. Remaining as a gladiator to challenge a group turns out to be a gang assault. After all, those melee units must have many control traits in their attacks, like knock-offs and stuns.

A mighty warrior swinging a giant hammer to the head produces a stun effect, which cannot be compared to a frail mage swinging a magic staff with the same effect.

Nancy flipped through the introduction further and said, "But the Shadow of Evil isn't… a mage! Its close combat attack is also very strong. I highly doubt if any of us can withstand its output. Failing to control it makes everything just empty talk. It's very likely to drag it into the duel space, only for us to fall into the tiger's mouth ourselves."
