"Assemble the army!" Terion’s mighty roar instantly echoed throughout the entire territory in the silent night.
The soldiers were already fully prepared, and everyone imdiately donned their helts and gathered before the Imperial Guard Castle of the land.
The Heavy Knights’ armor was imposing, spiritual light shimred, and the phalanx was majestic.
The Black Banner Guard maintained a strict formation, with a shield wall and long halberds forming a forest, banners fluttering.
The undead army numbered many, arranged in two heavy phalanxes, standing behind Audrey, striking in a form-fitting black coat exuding cold elegance.
The Griffins were already fluttering their wings, hovering above the military town, and the Rare Level troop Loren held a long halberd in his right hand and raised the most sacred Extre Battle Banner with a blue base and golden radiance of the Golden Pansy Clan in his left.
Below him, each phalanx had a flag waving.
Among the brightly armored, sternly standing soldiers, ten had already embedded the clan’s spiritual light-shining emblem on their breastplate.
Lin Rui glanced at the ti. There was only one minute left until the end of the protection period. He strode to the front of the entire army and motivated everyone: "Beast hordes, plagues, bandits, and warbands may extinguish the empire’s towns at any mont, rendering the civilians holess, and you are the most steadfast Steel Barrier in front of the territory. The terrifying impact is about to descend today. Retreat or advance, all face death, and all must seek life through death!"
"All soldiers, take up your swords, spears, axes, and hamrs and charge with , sweeping the enemy away!"
The next mont, a dense array of swords and blades were raised, and all the soldiers shouted, "Victory!"
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
"Civilization Announcent: The Azure Civilization’s contact protection period has ended! The divine beings’ contact is severed; the terrifying impact has officially descended. All Explorers, you must seek life through death!"
The grand announcent had barely fallen when from the distant darkness arose a cacophony of terrifying howls, shrieks, and dense roars.
Lin Rui flipped onto Death’s Claw, holding the lightning-flashing Dragon Roar Sword, and ordered everyone, "Act as deployed!"
Audrey waved her arm, the sword pointing to the distance, and the dense undead monsters imdiately gathered montum and rushed into the darkness in all directions.
Terion, riding a Griffin, approached Lin Rui and solemnly said, "My Lord, I have already sensed the direction of that evil undead presence."
Lin Rui waved his hand, and all the cavalry and Griffins followed, ready for a distant expedition at any ti.
Before leaving, Lin Rui looked towards Violet on the ground and instructed, "All the defense of the territory is entrusted to you."
Violet tilted her delicate head, and with a firm punch to her chest, promised, "The territory will not suffer. Lord, is there anything else to instruct?"
"Be wary of those ten Explorers."
"Understood."
Audrey, beside them, widened her eyes in shock and asked, "What’s the matter with you two? This topic, one says it as a matter of course, while the other seems not at all surprised! Haven’t the Explorers already paid tribute and submitted to us? Why suddenly guard against our own people? And with such perfect coordination between you?"
Submit?
Lin Rui’s face was steely; he never truly believed that other Explorers would sincerely submit.
Among the ten people, there would inevitably be so oddballs, so arrogant ones, so who consider themselves unparalleled. They have been arrogant and self-conceited all their lives with an infantile mindset in a peaceful society. There’s no way they would’ve adapted to the law of the violent iron fist of this terrifying world just because of a re week’s change. There will surely be soone who does sothing irrational.
Irrational, not unintelligent. Unintelligent may not be common, but irrationality is definitely a widespread phenonon—lacking reason and thought, speech according to others.
In summary, not understanding the best, thinking oneself the greatest.
So Lin Rui said, "Your undead should also pay attention to the Explorers’ army; if they approach the territory, imdiately keep an eye on them."
Audrey confidently replied, "Got it, rest assured and leave the territory to us."
Having arranged everything, Lin Rui nodded to Terion and said, "Let’s move out."
Terion had no fear, imdiately riding the Griffin and soaring into the sky, and Lin Rui and the other Griffins followed closely, all air forces ascending to the skies, speeding towards the northwest.
At this mont, the night draped over, the land pitch-black, but Lin Rui could still see the chaotic scenes on the ground.
Not because his eyesight had increased by many tis, but because spiritual light shimred on the ground, accompanied by blood light soaring to the heavens. Who knew how many demons, undead, beasts, and monsters were locked in battle with each other.
The entire terrain had drastically changed, its picturesque style utterly destroyed. Lin Rui took a cursory glance and saw several plague-affected areas glowing green, several terrifying zones of blood surge, rows upon rows of graveyard abysses, and countless monster dens.
The terror hidden by the "Era of Civilization" was simultaneously unlocked; the monsters had accumulated vast numbers and astonishing scale. Huge warbands were already running in tides through the night, aiming to destroy all civilizations. There were also terrifying giant beasts, moving with earth-shaking speed.
Lin Rui’s private chat channel imdiately exploded.
Dongg Qingxue said urgently, "Boss, boss, we already have two territories under attack."
"Four territories have seen monsters in the distance."
"Virtually everyone has heard the terrifying sounds."
"In one territory, they are nearly unable to hold off, and nearly all civilians have been killed or injured. The Explorers are holding out with soldiers in the town hall, with prowling monsters outside."
"Boss, can you co to assist?"
Lin Rui glanced at the overwhelming Bat-winged Demons in the distance, rcilessly responding, "Now is the ti for everyone to fight with all their might, to seek life through death. Let them resist with all their strength to strive for hope to survive. I will go to assist them as soon as I deal with the most severe calamity."
After replying, Lin Rui decisively closed the communication panel, unable to care about other Explorers’ possible complaints and curses. The vast swarm of Bat-winged Demons was already dangerously close before him!
Terion shouted, "My Lord, there are too many Bat-winged Demons, and they are highly mobile. If we let them escape, the nearby Explorers won’t be able to withstand them. We must charge in now."
Lin Rui responded directly with action. Ten Azure Ice Blades like Celestial Spears descended from the sky, piercing into the monster horde. Each ice blade dragged a cot-like brilliant azure tail fla, and this splendid tail fla was the Path of Frost.
As the fierce Spiritual Strikes descended from the sky, the Path of Frost crisscrossed among the bat swarm like an azure laser network. The next mont, the Path of Frost exploded entirely, countless frost shards swirling like a tornado to form a brutal Frost Dance among the monster horde, slicing through and tearing massive amounts of flesh from countless monsters.
The two Tier Three Rare Level soldiers of the territory, Loren and Reya, were directly shocked to a loss of thought. Is this the power that a Tier Two Spiritweaver can unleash?
The Bat-winged Demons are a Tier One unit among the undead in strength!
They have bare bodies covered in bumps, with sharp claws and teeth capable of easily tearing a farr into pieces. More critically, they usually gather in groups to attack, sensing the position of blood by instinct. Once targeted, unless beaten down, ordinary people absolutely cannot escape from these flying undead.
The monstrous swarm fell from the frost storm before their eyes; to call it ’dumplings falling into soup’ is insufficient to describe today’s magnificent sight—this is entirely a hailstorm, with blood-soaked hail from monster corpses.
"Prepare for engagent, the monsters are charging," Terion shouted, raising the Warhamr high, covering everyone in the Song of Radiance, enhancing the entire army’s offensive and defensive capabilities.
Lin Rui also drew out the lightning-radiating Dragon Roar Sword, arcs of lightning encircling him. He gripped the sword with both hands, holding it in front, the brilliant light from the blade shooting straight into the sky.
The next mont, the crowd seed to hear the solemn chanting of the Divine Kingdom, hearing the holy prayers of the angels.
A massive, illusory shadow appeared behind Lin Rui, and as the divine light gradually converged into form, a projection of a Radiant Archangel with a face of exquisite beauty, holiness, and nobility appeared behind Lin Rui, extending its hands to embrace him from behind.
As the sensation of a soft, warm embrace was felt, Lin Rui seed to feel an endless supply of Divine Power surge within him, and with him at the center, radiant golden light rapidly spread in a divine manner, enveloping all the soldiers of the territory.
Lin Rui suddenly opened his eyes, sword pointing forward, and ordered, "Attack with full force, slaughter the enemy army!"
[Rare Level Commander Trait: Embrace of the Radiant Archangel: In every battle, receive a ti when a Great Angel embraces from behind. Holy Light will spread from the point of embrace to cover the entire battlefield—within 30 seconds, everyone’s Evasion Probability increases to 100%, attacks carry 100% Divine Damage, and the Critical Strike Rate increases by 30%]
For these undead, who can only perform physical attacks at Tier One, the Golden Pansy Clan’s army is invincible within these 30 seconds!
