Chapter 396: Chapter 396

After collecting all the items, Lin Rui, surrounded by the army, entered the massive fortress through the main gate of Dawn Fortress.

Lin Rui was sure that there must be a special reason why the Templar Order relied on this place as their last line of defense.

This battle was completely unexpected for the Grand Commander Richthofen of the Templar Order.

He anticipated various fierce battles, considered the possibility of a grand and arduous war, but never imagined that the opponent would decide the outcome directly through a beheading tactic.

This caused the Templar Order to directly fall into a state of faith collapse and resistance breakdown.

Many deployment strategies that should have been used in battle were not utilized. The most update n0vels are published on novelFirｅ.net

Lin Rui waved his hand, and tens of thousands of soldiers dispersed, searching within the fortress for the wealth that the Templar Order hadn’t yet deployed in battle.

Soon, Audrey cheerfully ran over with a pile of scrolls in her arms.

Lin Rui glanced at them but didn’t pay attention, asking, "Are these recruitment scrolls from the Templar Order treasury?"

Audrey immediately shook her head, excitedly saying, "Father, we’ve struck it rich. These aren’t recruitment scrolls; they’re inheritance books, and what can be inherited are none other than Heroic Spirit-level souls."

Lin Rui looked at the inheritance books she was holding with a breath of excitement: "Doesn’t that mean we’ve obtained hundreds of Heroic Spirit-level inheritances at once?"

Audrey immediately handed a scroll to Lin Rui: "Father, see for yourself."

[Holy Light Messenger Inheritance Scroll: The Holy Light Messenger Inheritance Scroll is an important item passed down through generations of Holy Light Messengers. This scroll records the experience and wisdom accumulated by the messengers in protecting civilization, allowing descendants to inherit this faith and responsibility. Using this scroll can enable a female from the territory to receive the inheritance of the Holy Light, becoming a successor of the messenger, and possessing the power of the Holy Light to uphold justice within the territory.]

Lin Rui took a closer look; this item belonged to human will, and divine spirits couldn’t bless or intervene, so there’s no need to wait to return to the territory to strengthen it.

Lin Rui directly called over a female Black Banner Guard soldier under Hanna’s command and handed the scroll to her.

Being able to receive a stronger inheritance, she accepted the scroll without hesitation.

However, after tearing open the scroll, there wasn’t just a simple flash of golden light for her to receive the inheritance.

Instead, the scroll unfolded, emitting a burst of white light, and a graceful female Heroic Spirit slowly appeared in a white dress. With her hands devoutly clasped in prayer, she closed her eyes gently, radiating a faint, ethereal light.

Her voice was soft yet firm: "Under the majesty of the Holy Light, I pass on the faith and responsibility of the Holy Light Messenger to this woman, making her a successor of the messenger, granting her the sacred power of the Holy Light to manifest justice and light, and protect the territory’s peace."

This solemn scene made the female soldier receiving the inheritance reverent, proclaiming her oath with solemnity: "I am willing to accept the inheritance of the Holy Light Messenger, devoted to the sunshine of justice, to defend the people of the territory, to uphold equality and kindness. May the sacred power of the Holy Light grant me justice and belief, enabling me to have enough strength to protect the territory, to shelter the people’s lives and dignity, selflessly and fearlessly devoted to the Holy Light until eternity!"

Audrey was astonished and gripped Lin Rui’s arm, asking: "Father, these female soldiers make vows so solemn and sacred; I’ve never seen a legacy ! How powerful are they really?"

Lin Rui was also moved. As the oath ended, the Holy Light Gem on the scroll emitted a dazzling glow, enveloping the female soldier completely. With the infusion of Holy Light, she began emitting a layer of white radiance, seemingly surrounded by the divine force. The light flowed over the surface, gradually seeping from her fingers and skin, tinting the surrounding air with a faint glow.

As the glow spread, her body appeared to be embraced by a mysterious force. Her eyes shone with resolute kindness, and the sacred power within seemed like a surging river flowing continuously.

(Note: The Paladin is a well-equipped soldier possessing strength and endurance comparable to the Celestial Kingdom Armament. Bearing divine mission, they can use the Angel’s Sword to deliver fatal blows to the enemy.)]

After reading Alya’s traits, Lin Rui spontaneously laughed.

This is the nanny for all the territory’s warriors! In absolute terms, the big bust nurturing the world.

They lack any attack skills, but all traits and skills comprehensively enhance allied soldiers.

A single army with one such lead nurse will see its combat power exponentially increase.

Lin Rui glanced at Audrey holding all those inheritance scrolls, thinking that this batch could provide not just a hundred priests for the entire army!

The days without active healing priests in the territory are over.

With their cooperation with Crimson Combat Priestesses, the territory’s heavy-armored troops could always maintain significant life recovery.

What’s more thoughtful is that they’re not fragile; when attacked, there’s a 14% chance to trigger a Divine Shield, reducing damage received by 80% for 2 seconds.

Their passive traits shelter them, preventing assassin ambushes. The inheritance skill can summon a powerful Paladin to kill attackers.

Lin Rui can rest assured about their safety.
