Lin Rui directly enhanced the sacred treasures of the territory, truly an exhilarating process; the enhancent cost for territorial treasures can easily reach millions, and a single failure would be a massive blow to Lin Rui.
The Master of Armants, Burton, worked tirelessly day and night to modify equipnt, and nearly all of the wealth earned from sales was invested into it. Lin Rui finally managed to upgrade the sacred treasures to Divine Blessing 2 level.
The effect was as Lin Rui hoped; after equipping, all newly recruited soldiers in the territory had their tier increased by 1.
However, this round of sacrifice truly almost bankrupted Lin Rui. Forcing the second blessing of the sacred treasures practically involved investing all of the territory’s wealth into it.
In the past, high-tier resources were lacking, but now the situation reversed, with basic resources in short supply.
Before the blessing of luck ended, Lin Rui managed to successfully exchange resources in the market, enhancing 51 Knight’s Hearts twice, raising them to Tier Two Elite level, and assembling a squad of elite and rare level knights.
Once recruited, they were imdiately Tier Three Elite level, then Lin Rui successfully used the Valkyrie’s Awakening Chapter, elevating all knights to Tier Three Heroic Spirit level.
After the sacrifice, Hero Terion found Lin Rui and reported, "Lord, in this battle, the territory lost 127 soldiers, with most casualties occurring among Manor Guards and low-tier Black Banner Guards."
This alarming casualty number weighed heavily on Lin Rui’s mind.
However, Terion, the commander, while solemn, did not have much depression or sentintality beyond that.
Sacrifice is the cornerstone of the empire, never a re empty talk.
Every ti, amidst chaos and disorder, the empire always makes successive sacrifices, and it is countless lives that prevent the spread of disaster.
In this Green Tide, Golden Pansy Town was spared from annihilation. While Lin Rui’s extraordinary command was crucial, the sacrifices and contributions of these soldiers were also indispensable.
Lin Rui solemnly instructed, "Let civil servant Soro prepare graves for them, to be laid beside the Golden Pansy Field. Every soldier who has contributed to the Golden Pansy Domain deserves military honors."
Terion respectfully bowed his head and then turned to leave.
Lin Rui then directly turned and went to the trading market; with significant losses in Terion’s troops, Lin Rui planned to replenish them.
Of course, the primary thod of replenishnt is still the Black Banner Guard.
This is the territory’s main line of defense, destined to suffer greater casualties.
But the advantage is they aren’t as difficult to replenish as knights. As long as they are human soldiers, with the cost of a Tier Two Spiritual Gem, they can be efficiently trained into a Black Banner Guard.
Spiritual Gems, Lin Rui has ample supply in hand.
Due to the existence of the Crystal Scroll, spiritual gems have even beco one of the territory’s most important specialties.
He is already impatient for another cross-plane trade, for if there is another such trade, the territory’s powerful armants and vast quantity of spiritual gems will surely bring him unparalleled wealth.
In this battle against the Green Tide, Lin Rui’s equipnt blast fell in tens of thousands, and spiritual gems followed suit!
Tier Two spiritual gems, those blasted on the battlefield and crystallized from the scroll, amount to nearly twenty thousand pieces.
Tier Three spiritual gems exceed eight thousand pieces.
Tier Four spiritual gems are over two thousand pieces! This number made Lin Rui’s stockpile increase tenfold! Enough for every soldier in the territory to be equipped with a Tier Four Clan Badge.
Tier Five spiritual gems have reached a terrifying number of over two hundred.
More importantly, there are still three Tier Seven spiritual gems in Lin Rui’s possession!
These Tier Seven spiritual gems, if embedded in the clan badge, rely provide 5000 points of life value, 3000 points of spiritual energy value, 350 physical defense, and 850 spiritual defense!
What a terrifying concept it is; a three-year-old child adorned with this Tier Seven clan badge, with its hazy glow protecting him, even a group of Tier One knights hacking away might not break through its defense.
Even if he runs out of the territory and encounters a Beastman Warband or a Hyena Queen Tribe in the forest, he could remain uninjured.
Such super-tier gems cannot be crystallized by the Crystal Scroll, as the scroll can only crystallize up to Tier Five.
Lin Rui plans to sell half of the gems below Tier Three in the market, then exchange for a batch of wealth and summoning scrolls, and quickly increase the number of the Black Banner Guard.
Lin Rui certainly has the confidence; now his shop has attracted over one million followers.
After all, the entire civilization knows this guy is a phenonon, and occasionally he sells items in the shop that make ordinary explorers deem them divine artifact-level.
Many assembled explorer warbands, groups, or alliances have people assigned to do nothing but watch his shop exhibit daily, waiting to see what new items he puts up.
After all, you never know when he’ll put up a Tier Three Elite or even Tier Three Rare level recruitnt scroll!
Soone actually bought a Tier Three Rare level Ogre recruitnt scroll in his territory, and when that explorer bought it, they almost lost control in excitent, exclaiming madly in the civilization channel.
Tier Three! Rare level! Recruitnt scroll!
These words together are a symbol of power that shakes one’s heart.
If a territory has a Tier Three Rare level Ogre, the lord can charge ahead with it, as long as they don’t enter high-risk areas, a single ogre can sweep across even during a Dark Strike.
Tier Four Grief Spirits? Undead Tomb? Green-skinned Camp? Beastman Warband?
An ogre carrying its big club charges in, and after a fierce monstrous roar, all that’s left is a pile of ripped flesh, eventually leaving only the ogre happily carrying its bloodied club out of the monster camp.
Moreover, Lin Rui not only sells recruitnt scrolls but also occasionally sells equipnt with attributes so strong they’re dazzling.
Red Rare Level Longbow and Rare Level Dagger have appeared more than once.
This level of equipnt, even after decades, remains a rare find.
So basically, survivors within the area, after building the trading market post, pay attention to Lin Rui’s shop, periodically checking what he sells or rewards.
At this mont, Lin Rui’s shop offers rewards in recruitnt scrolls, with Soro putting all three hundred scrolls on display.
These recruitnt scrolls are for non-human soldiers, almost without particularly powerful traits, and do not match the territory’s military system, hence they are used to exchange for ordinary recruitnt scrolls.
Lin Rui’s exchange conditions are absolutely favorable; elite-level recruitnt scrolls require only four ordinary level recruitnt scrolls for a trade. Excellence level requires two ordinary level recruitnt scrolls. Then multiply by the tier level. So one Tier Two Elite recruitnt scroll requires eight ordinary level recruitnt scrolls, Tier Three Elite requires twelve.
This is simply beneficial for lords holding ordinary soldier recruitnt scrolls, with forces selling such scrolls. They can instantly recruit ten Tier One or Tier Two ordinary soldiers. Of course, such lucky ones are relatively few; most explorers hold recruitnt scrolls like Lin Rui, capable of summoning only one soldier at a ti.
This exchange ratio definitely offers benefits to ordinary explorers.
Lin Rui isn’t being charitable; he sets the recruitnt ratio a bit high so that these ordinary explorers can’t bring forth that many scrolls for exchange.
After all, the drop rate for recruitnt scrolls is one in tens of thousands. Most are directly absorbed by explorers, with very few available for trade.
If Lin Rui set an elite-level recruitnt scroll requiring others to trade twenty-four recruitnt scrolls for it... that elite-level recruitnt scroll might hang for a while.
When Lin Rui checked, most recruitnt scrolls in the shop had been sold, swapped for scrolls that could recruit over four hundred soldiers.
This wave could not only supplent the territory’s losses but push the territory’s army size to nearly a thousand.
