Although the effect of the Semi-Divine Artifact: Banner of All Living Beings' Command only lasts for three hours, the ability to elevate an entire army of two hundred thousand to Pseudo-Legendary-level is incredibly powerful.
Especially now that Lin Rui is not commanding any troops, he has transferred his command authority to Violet.
This is not a concern regarding a potential usurpation of military power or his own being made redundant.
Not to ntion his close relationship with Violet, her Loyalist Trait, and her spirit of never resorting to violence, never committing murder, never betraying the nation, and never being cruel, ensure those despicable intrigues will not occur.
This leaves him with a lot of spare Commander Value, allowing him to command a vast number of troops.
Enhancing the army with various Traits like [Ice and Snow Physique], [Embrace of the Radiant Archangel], [Wild Whip], [Creating Miracles], [Majesty of the King], [Celestial Tribulation Thundercloud], along with Sacred Treasures such as [Army of Justice], [Extre Battle Banner], [Ice and Snow Royal Court's Extre Cold Realm], [Star Guidance], [Emperor's Authority], and Strategic Treasures like [Skeleton Sanctity], [Sergeant Major's Military Soul], [Flesh and Steel Frenzy], [Church Decree], [Judgnt Counterattack], [Mobile Defense].
Especially the Strategic Trait [King's Majesty: Legendary-Level Strategic Trait: Majesty of the King, standing above all. King's Majesty grants the bearer exalted dignity and commanding power, making them a leader admired by all. Holder's Charm 30, Commander 30, Command Value x2; when the King's Majesty bearer is not in combat, all units in the territory receive 10% to all Attributes, 10% to Attack, 10% to Defense, 10% to Speed, Skill Cooldown -10%; all soldiers gain the [Blazing Fla Crystal] Trait, attacks inflict 10% True Damage, receive damage 10%, Critical Strike 5%. When the King's Majesty bearer enters combat, all soldiers' Resilience -50%, duration of control, debuff effects extended by 50%.]
This underpins the soldiers with powerful Basic Attributes along with the Legendary Trait enhancent.
In the fierce battle, these Pseudo-Legendary-level warriors worked together towards a common goal, and twenty divisions indeed gained the upper hand.
It surpasses those Divine Spirit troops engaged in chaotic infighting with ulterior motives.
Yet Lin Rui's troops face a daunting challenge: the sheer size of the army renders maneuverability impossible.
Warfare isn't about selecting all units and ordering them to attack directly.
Without sufficient generals for command, these troops cannot fully exert their combat power, especially amid chaotic battles where everyone endures attacks from 360 degrees, with opponents surrounding them on all sides, and Spiritual Energy flying everywhere.
Honestly, Lin Rui himself has never fought such an aerial battle, further limiting the soldiers' combat effectiveness.
But fortunately, others fared even worse, with all parties scattered by the sky-high Spiritual Energy impacts, allowing Lin Rui's forces, thanks to their larger scale and more orderly formations, to finally push into the center.
In a grinder-like space, after two hours of fierce battles, Lin Rui's troops eventually managed to seize the Eye of Darkness.
At this ti, the subsequent forces of the Divine Spirits had actually begun to enter the arena, but the skies remained chaotic, and even the strongest troops couldn't break through.
Thus, Lin Rui's forces escorted the Elental Keystone down, delivering it to Lin Rui's hands.
But as soon as the Elental Keystone was in hand, it seed as if a teor shower descended from all directions, with countless Demons and Angels trailing long tail flas, plumting from the sky, crashing heavily upon the ground. Then, before the craters could spread, the creatures within roared and charged at Lin Rui.
This was indeed a chaotic battle, holding the Elental Keystone, constantly attacked by soldiers under the command of the strange Divine Spirits.
Even the illusions of the Celestial Divine Priest couldn't withstand so many creatures.
Audrey was already sowhat bewildered, and had to tug Lin Rui's arm, saying, "Father, think of sothing quickly. These Divine Spirits have gone mad trying to seize this thing."
Mad?
Perhaps not, maybe to mortals, it seems the Divine Spirits are paying any cost.
But for the Divine Spirits, it's rely a small investnt with high potential return.
Throwing in a few divisions has absolutely no impact on them, but if they truly acquire the Plane Keystone, the rewards are unparalleled.
So Lin Rui glanced at the ti and replied, "The Heroic Spirit forces can still resist for a while, drawing others' attention. You need to make haste now. Whether we manage to retreat back to our camp depends on you."
Audrey widened her eyes, pointing at her face with her finger: "Rely on ? Father, you really have high hopes for . Do I really have the ability to break through the encirclent of so many Divine Spirits and lead you back to the camp?"
"You certainly didn't have that ability before, but after today, it's hard to say." Lin Rui gestured towards the battlefield, a sea of corpses and blood, and said, "The Divine Spirits' forces have all been attracted by , now you need to quickly find several key items in the battlefield."
"What? What?"
"The corpses of the Elf's strongest Master of the Wild Hunt, Shadow Moon, and the Academy's strongest Gulian, as well as the Origin Treasure Chests they both left behind after their blast fall."
Audrey imdiately covered her wide-open mouth in shock: "Father, you really have a bold heart. Even in such chaos, you haven't forgotten to seize the spoils of war?"
Lin Rui calmly said, "This isn't about seizing spoils; it is our most important reliance for breaking out of here. I'm not expecting you to bring out two Tier Thirteen soldiers, but at least sothing that matches the level of the Celestial Divine Priest, right?"
Moreover, both of them were super strong, and their Talent wouldn't be much weaker than the Celestial Divine Priest's.
