After Hanna led the army into the Underground City, Lin Rui directly led the army back to the territory.
After traveling through the Haunted Forest and Wolf Wild, they reached Moon Marsh Lake on the west side of the territory. It was not far from the territory, and one could clearly see Bloodbath Mountain and Titan Sky Mountain in the distance.
From above the clouds, the Aerial Cavalry could even see several giant structures of the territory. The statue of the Goddess Hall soared into the clouds, and the Holy Grail Champion Hall occupied a magnificent and vast area.
When Lin Rui’s army approached the lakeside, the explorers were already spreading the news excitedly.
The expansion of the territory’s power outwardly ant that after entering Moon Marsh Lake, they were technically within the territory’s boundaries, and the lively citizens and explorers could be seen.
This ant, finally ho!
Looking at the familiar scenery and the buildings full of territorial style, the soldiers couldn’t contain their excitent.
As the army arrived at the Golden Pansy Field ten miles outside the territory, Lin Rui saw the Civil Servant Soro and Goddess Priestess Yuyu waiting to greet him.
Lin Rui jumped off the War Machine with a smile, Yuyu closed the gold mirror and pursed her freshly painted moist lips, without a greeting, her first concern was: "How is it? Does my makeup look good? Am I beautiful?"
Lin Rui glanced at her, feeling like the blood in his chest was boiling, and his heart was about to jump out. As a Tier Five Major Charm Epic-level Priest, her charm was simply the most beautiful in the territory. Her elegant and sacred priest robe, high-slit skirt revealing enticing legs, bare shoulders beneath the robe, combined with her lazy deanor, made one want to tear her apart, to ravage wildly.
"No way! No way!" Yuyu covered her mouth in surprise, looking incredulously at Lin Rui: "Is my makeup today really that outstanding? Your gaze is as wild as a beast."
As she stepped back, her eyes widened even more: "Why is your mage robe uplifting! It can’t be what I think, right? I haven’t increased my charm recently, how could I srize you like this?"
Lin Rui decided never to easily use [Faith Intervention] again; it was too embarrassing.
He waved his hand unpleasantly: "I just have a lingering negative status from battle, reducing my self-control a bit. What are you imagining? Go with Audrey to settle in the Goddess Knight Order."
"What’s with the imagination? You just pretend, speaking righteously even when you’re wrong. Now you’re obviously imagining things; why do you want to go? What about my gift? I’m not leaving without a gift."
"What gift?" Lin Rui was baffled.
"Having gone out, didn’t you bring back a gift, a specialty or sothing? That’s too much! If I went far, I would definitely rember you, bringing you delicious or fun things!"
Saying this made one feel ashad.
Lin Rui had no choice but to hand over the [Knight Spirit] of the Knight Order to her.
Yuyu glanced at it, looking puzzled: "What’s this?"
"It’s the Goddess’ doctrine and prayer oaths."
"What!?" Yuyu was stunned: "Isn’t this like three-year simulations, five-year college entrance exams?"
Lin Rui looked at her in surprise: "You even know this joke? You’ve been interacting with explorers quite a bit lately."
"You have to believe in the strength of this priestess. I’ve always relied on charm to attract believers for the goddess. You don’t know how many explorers flock around daily, treating like a goddess."
"Then keep up the good work, and try to recruit more knight believers for the Knight Order."
After she left, Lin Rui looked at Soro and asked: "How is the territory’s situation?"
Soro was more conservative and serious, imdiately reporting: "Lord, the territory’s internal developnt has been very smooth recently. Due to the internal turmoil in the Dragonbone Plain, refugees are constantly pouring into our area."
"In addition to more than two thousand new explorers, the territory has also gained over a thousand new civilians. I arranged for citizens to start building a new residential area to the north of the territory. With the Blessing Scroll of the God of Architecture, a neat new area with over three thousand new houses was constructed in the north. anwhile, the citizens of the territory, being very business-minded, have partnered with the Lusen Chamber of Comrce to invest in building over a thousand new residences within the territory, renting them to newly arrived families. Even if three or four thousand new residents arrive at once, they can be settled. You, Lord, can freely strengthen the territory’s strength."
These two types of rooms are fundantally different. The kind Soro constructed is the territory’s resettlent housing. Provided free of charge for new residents, several people share one room.
But if so residents form families and need so privacy, they can move out to prepare their own rooms.
So hearing Soro’s words, Lin Rui couldn’t help but smile contentedly. The territory was becoming increasingly prosperous, even reserving rooms for strengthening the territory’s strength.
But Lin Rui said with a smile: "Your lofty words might be premature. This ti, the extent of the territory’s strengthening might exceed your imagination."
The wealth Lin Rui obtained from the Templar Order alone was enough to make the territory rapidly expand by a large margin.
Soro excitedly said: "Then this is a happy occasion worth celebrating. In this corroded world, the stronger our territory, the greater the chances are for citizens to live safely."
Lin Rui straightforwardly said: "Then imdiately start preparing for the strengthening."
Before starting, Soro said: "Lord, there’s sothing I think it’s necessary to report to you imdiately. Her Majesty the Empress asked to inform you that after your return, you can go to talk to her about sothing."
