Chapter 353: Chapter 353

Basically, it can be said that within the same tier, his troops are invincible. With the addition of the Heroic Commander trait, Elite-level soldiers have no trouble facing opponents of the same tier Rare Level, and can even hold their own against Heroic Spirit Level.

Speaking of banners, Terion said, "My Lord, regarding war command items, we have acquired quite a number. We now have seventeen Wild Battle Banners to cover an entire squadron and seven Skull Blood Horns."

This is good news, Lin Rui immediately said, "Equip all your squadrons with them, and take one Extreme Battle Banner for the domain as well. Have the Crimson Chalice Battle Priestess also serve as the Standard Bearer."

The Crimson Chalice Battle Priestesses are vampiresses wielding long swords, though they have long legs, they are definitely a strong brotherhood troop, donned in the domain’s [MK Thunderbolt Type] heavy armored mecha. Holding the battle flag in the left hand and a longsword in the right, standing amidst the battle array, the morale boost effect is top-notch.

Currently, what the domain lacks are squad-level banners. Ideally, each squad should have a banner, and each one could be carried by a Crimson Chalice Battle Priestess as the Standard Bearer.

Under the command of such a heroic leader, the most iconic banners are the Extreme Battle Banners, then the Wild Battle Banners of each squadron, and squad flags for each squad. Underneath the flapping flags are long spears standing like a forest.

It can be said that at this point, the strong army of the Golden Pansy Domain is finally forged, with armor gleaming and flags fluttering in the wind.

Of course, the domain now owns almost all kinds of flags, only a step away from the goal.

Lin Rui felt that this day wouldn’t be too far away from now.

Then he looked at Hanna, asking, "And you? How do you plan to organize the troops?"

With her hands to her heart, Hanna looked at Lin Rui pitifully, "My Lord, would you bear to let me advance alone? To let a weak support girl like me face Minotaur creatures wielding giant axes alone?"

Lin Rui speechlessly looked at her, "Is your so-called weakness referring to your own 50% damage reduction?"

This woman was just deliberately wearing a light slip dress and a high-waisted short skirt, revealing two fair long legs and delicately small feet.

Anyone who is deceived by her weak appearance would truly take a hard fall under her skirt.

After all, she is a Sadistic Hero!

Sadism is not like the Tzeentch faction that plays with magic at a distance, but rather similar to Terror, both having a lethal edge for output capability.

If the enemy’s will is not firm enough, just standing next to Hanna poses a life threat every minute.

She is practically a weapon of mass destruction, perhaps even more suitable for novice crushing than a Witch Demon, inflicting damage on the enemy every so often based on the difference in will between allies and enemies. If your will is higher than hers, it won’t work because her frail appearance will torment your heart, making you unable to deliver the killing blow. If your will is lower than hers, it’s even worse, as your Life Value will be emptied directly.

Even her attributes rise simultaneously in Physique, Charm, and Will. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel⸺fire.net

However, her skills are more inclined to weaken the opponent rather than strengthen herself, making her seem more like a support-side hero.

In fact, she is very powerful whether fighting alone or commanding soldiers.

Lin Rui placed a [Bloodline Enhancement Potion (Excellence Level)] in front of her and asked, "Are you going to tier up? If not, I’ll give it to someone else!"

"Level up! Level up! Level up!" Hanna bit her lip and blinked at Lin Rui, "Just joking with you, why are you so serious?"

Laughing, she took the potion from Lin Rui’s hand, intentionally brushing her soft fingers over the back of Lin Rui’s hand, the delicate and smooth touch very provocative.

Then she tilted her swan-like fair neck and, after swallowing the potion in one gulp, provocatively stuck out her pink tongue to lick the corners of her mouth.

"Hehe, my Lord, your eyes were fixed, right? Is my tongue not a bit longer than that Dark Mage’s? It feels great, wanna try? It’s a failure, isn’t it? As a Sadistic Desire Demon, having joined the domain for so long, I haven’t even kissed the Lord once."

Lin Rui swallowed hard and immediately averted his gaze. It was the first time he realized that a Desire Demon’s tongue could be of such a romantic cherry pink color and could roll up, striking poses in any form at will.

If she ever bites down on you, it would be the utmost pleasure known to man.

"Hurry up and advance, let’s get the main business done first."

"What about after the main business is done? Can we talk about kissing? Anywhere you like."

Before Lin Rui could speak, Hanna’s smiling face suddenly froze, her cheeks flushed, biting her lower lip, and she leaned on the table, gripping Lin Rui’s right arm with her fists, and her slender fingers lost all color.

She trembled for quite a while before she could catch her breath and straightened her back, angrily saying, "I... I’m destined to tear down this Jilun Tower one day... Ah!"

Furious, Hanna’s eyes were blazing with anger and she immediately initiated a tier-up challenge.

A Tier Four monster appeared in the tavern, but before it could lift its battleaxe and roar, it was hooked by Hanna’s right hand. A huge Beastman, yet like a tomcat in heat, lay under the Enchanting Demon’s skirt, frenziedly rubbing its head against her calf.

The monster’s eyes, reddened throughout, couldn’t realize its essence and vitality were rapidly draining away.

Hanna’s trait [Lethal Joy] activated, significant reduction in the monster’s will and state, directly leading to the clearing of its Life Value.

It really was a pitiful monster, dying a miserable death. The only consolation is that before it died, it should have been engulfed in extreme pleasure.

After venting heavily, Hanna finally calmed a bit, saying, "I’ll also command five squadrons of Black Banner Guard, plus all the members of the Mage Corps."

"The Mage Corps only has 14 members, you still have plenty of command value left."

"Then let me command the Dawn Fanatics. My Tier Four trait can confuse the opponents, preventing them from attacking our key units."

[Soul-Enchanting Temptation: Rare Level Trait: The beauty of the hero Enchanting Demon is an irresistible temptation for enemies, making them linger and even unable to focus on the bloody slaughter at hand. In each battle, a single enemy unit can be charmed to prevent them from attacking an allied unit, while the selected allied soldier gains +50% output.]

In large battles, Fanatics will take some losses, and currently, the domain only has 24 Fanatics left, but their fighting style allows them to tier up rapidly, generally having reached Tier Three.

Commanding two squads of Fanatics consumes negligible command value, so Lin Rui said, "I’ll also give you two Celestial Punishment Fear Knights to command. The remaining soldiers will all follow me."

The remaining soldiers under Lin Rui’s command included nearly three squadrons of Knights, a squad of Aerial Cavalry, and nearly two squads of long halberd and fierce armor.

In total, about eighteen hundred elite soldiers, which constitutes all military forces after the domain upgraded to a township-level.

This military proportion almost accounts for half of the domain’s population. During this cycle, Lin Rui does not intend to continue expanding the army further for the time being, leaving the rest of the population to stabilize production in the domain.

He clapped his hands, solemnly saying to everyone, "From now on, until the end of this cycle, we will not disperse any energy, splitting into three routes to eliminate the Green-skinned Tribe within the Blood Maple Forest. I hope that in the next Wild Hunt Banquet, we don’t have to face such a massive Green Tide again!"

Lin Rui solemnly commanded, and no one dared to play or jump around, immediately bowing in salute, "Complying with your will, my Lord."

And with the will of Lin Rui, the vast army of the Golden Pansy Domain proceeded in five directions every day, sweeping away the monsters around the domain.

The reason for five routes is, besides the three heroes, Audrey’s massive Undead Legion could also go on its own route.

Meanwhile, Su Ye and Su Xi were enlisted under Wutong’s name, killing monsters and helping Wutong lift the seal.

Of course, they were originally the strongest forces in the domain, and under Wutong, they are singularly capable of forming an army on their own, effortlessly killing ten thousand men alone.
