Chapter 409: Chapter 409

As the three Tier Four Catastrophe-level Blood Dragon Knights knelt in submission, Audrey completely fulfilled this contract, and the large number of Undead Elite under her command disbanded in pieces.

The fact is that the Blood Dragon Knights consume too much Command Value. Each of these three Blood Dragon Knights consumes as much Command Value as the Celestial Punishment Fear Knight, which is 2048 points.

Just these three Blood Dragon Knights completely exhausted the 5000 Command Value provided by the [Strategic Treasure: King’s Heart]. Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveI★Fire.net

This is expected, as in the legends of the Blood Dragon Knight Order, each knight can single-handedly defeat large numbers of invading enemies.

They’re almost on par with the Holy Grail Knights, nearly the pinnacle of racial combat power in this world.

It’s not that there aren’t stronger units than them, but those stronger units generally can’t be organized into large-scale legions, and those that can are extremely rare.

For example, there are the Celestial Punishment Fear Knights that can be formed into legions of similar strength to the Blood Dragon Knight Order; one is great at tough battles, extremely powerful as individuals, while the other is skilled at large area attacks, masters of overwhelming forces.

Above them in power are the Holy Grail Knights, each one an epic figure, though their numbers are very few.

Thus, successfully subduing three Blood Dragon Knights is certainly something worth celebrating. To say the least, even in the army of a Heroic Commander, having three Blood Dragon Knights is something to boast about.

These are, after all, Catastrophe-level units capable of slaying Giant Dragons single-handedly.

And Audrey, who is just a soldier, smoothly commanded three Blood Dragon Knights, naturally improving her mood greatly.

As soon as the battle ended, her frosty demeanor disappeared, and she joyfully leaped onto Lin Rui, wrapping herself around his neck.

"Hahaha! My dear father, did you see? My luck has turned around. I subdued three Blood Dragon Knights, the most renowned elite unit in the whole empire. I guess it must be the lucky aura you left in me that’s working. I want more tonight!"

Lin Rui pulled her off: "Ambitious during the day, crying for mercy at night. That’s you, right?"

"Hehehe." Audrey shrank her head, but immediately puffed out her chest, restoring her spirit: "Father, things are different now! I have a new contract with three Blood Dragon Knights. With the enhancement of the [Star Realm Apostle], all my attributes have increased significantly, especially physique and will; I definitely won’t beg for mercy this time."

"Heh." Lin Rui chuckled lightly, this woman is as silly as ever, getting arrogant with just a little progress. His recovery trait was prepared for competing with Su Xi. To fight evenly with Su Xi, she, a Tier Four charm element apostle, still wants to challenge?

Hanna understood this dynamic most clearly, covering her mouth to chuckle: "Sister, if you can’t hold on, you can ask me for help."

Audrey looked at her warily: "Help? What help? Even if I faint and wake up, don’t think you can jump in."

Hanna shrugged indifferently: "Alright then, I originally planned to teach you some methods of a seductress. Since you’re not interested, forget it."

"I..." Audrey immediately realized that this annoying woman is an Enchanting Demon, best at charming men. She wanted to say she was interested but couldn’t bring herself to lose face, so she could only huff angrily: "Hmph!"

Afraid of being ridiculed, Audrey immediately changed the topic: "Dear Father, the biggest problem I’m facing now is the severe deficiency of Command Value. Could I ask my most adorable Father to help me enhance the [Strategic Treasure: King’s Heart]?"

Lin Rui nodded, easily agreeing to her request: "Now that the territory’s wealth has expanded significantly, we must find ways to enhance the strength of the territory through various channels. I’ll invest a large number of resources in your [Strategic Treasure: King’s Heart] to strengthen it to the utmost."

This time, the territory’s army reaped immense wealth from the Templar Order’s treasury, amounting to billions in scale. Storing such gigantic wealth in warehouses would be a waste.

The Templar Order is a cautionary tale; they accumulated vast wealth but had no channels to invest it, unable to use so much wealth to maximize their strength, so this massive fortune eventually became someone else’s spoils.

And Lin Rui evidently has several engines for power growth where resources can be invested to enhance combat strength.

Goddess’s Pendulum is one of them.

This time going back, Lin Rui plans to sophisticate all strategic treasures to their maximum level, to see the conditions of various strategic treasures at LVmax.

Upon hearing this, Audrey was even more joyfully ecstatic, clinging to Lin Rui’s arm, playfully acting spoiled with happiness.

Her strengthening process is actually the simplest; as long as her Command Value is increased, the Undead Army can keep expanding.

Of course, if she can find another batch of Necromancers or Witches, they would be her strength multipliers.

She even somewhat regretted not going to the Underground City; otherwise, she might have subdued a batch of witches. The Underground City is the place where witches are most likely to exist.

But she quickly put these thoughts behind her, between getting stronger and being with the Lord, which makes her happier?

Is that even a question?

Of course, being with the Lord makes her happier. After all, if she sticks with the Lord, making the Lord comfortable and happy, getting stronger would just be a matter of minutes, right?
