Chapter 418: Chapter 418

"That’s naturally not scary. After all, I’m about to head to the Underground City. For a long time, neither you nor your army will catch me. In the future, it won’t be clear who’s stronger or weaker between us!"

"Hurry, do you agree or not? I still have Strategic Traits unused."

"How can there be no time? She faints every day. If you wish, there will definitely be time! Just say whether you agree or not! Don’t you want to see the effects of my Strategic Traits?"

"Hahaha, look into my eyes and tell me whether you want it or not?"

"Hahahaha! Good girl, I’ll give you a candy."

A moment later, Lin Rui leaned against the wall for the first time while walking out, his legs shaking violently.

Audrey joyfully returned and looked at Lin Rui, who was barely standing while leaning against a War Machine. She curiously asked, "Eh? Lord, why did you grow bigger? Is that Hanna’s Commander Trait? It doesn’t seem to be very useful. Energy conservation indeed, a unit that was originally smaller suddenly expanding so much comes with the cost of a weakened body. Big but not strong."

Lin Rui did not respond, Su Xi’s legs looked nice, Hanna’s legs were fun to play with, and this time he was forced to hold and play with them for a long time, how could he not be weak?

Whether he wanted to or not, this Little Enchanting Demon had succeeded.

She let Lin Rui experience once, twice, thrice... a different kind of experience from humans.

His willpower was in a weakened state, and he couldn’t resist the allure of a beauty like Audrey in the charm element. He simply couldn’t resist the temptation.

He was afraid that if he continued talking with Audrey about such matters, he couldn’t resist his bestial instincts, tearing her clothes and leaving her shocked, in a stiff state, at a loss, and bewildered.

So Lin Rui decisively changed the topic and asked, "How’s the cleanup going? Any findings?"

Audrey’s attention was immediately diverted by him, and she smiled while taking out a stack of Recruitment Orders: "Hehe, hit a small jackpot, I collected all the resources and equipment inside, but the most important gain is this."

Lin Rui glanced at the [Ring of Blood Soul] on her hand. After several great battles, her [Ring of Blood Soul] absorbed a large amount of blood energy, so the space’s size had greatly increased.

Even her twelve [Dark Temple Warriors] were upgraded from Rare Level to Heroic Spirit Level, although the cost was also enormous, with 240,000 Spirit Crystal Coins stored in her Space Ring completely disappearing, and over ten thousand High-tier Spiritual Gems turning into ashes.

To be fair, this cost was a bit heavy. If they developed slowly, maximizing the use of such a massive fortune, it would be enough to cultivate more Heroic Spirit Level soldiers in other ways.

But Lin Rui still chose to support Audrey’s straightforward method. Her style has always been this simple and mindless, but it just enhances quickly.

The territory doesn’t have time for slow development; what is needed is to grow into the strongest force as quickly as possible. As for the extra wealth consumed... that’s all small change. As long as victory is achieved in war, compensation can surely be found in that victory.

Then Lin Rui took over the Recruitment Orders from Audrey, as his fingertips touched her soft and slightly cool fingers, his heart couldn’t help but race. He had never thought Audrey was so beautiful before, practically an Absolute Goddess. The most update n0vels are published on n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net

This damned drop in willpower led to a significant weakening of his resistance to beauty. He couldn’t even glance at the overwhelming allure of someone like Hanna without losing control.

He had a feeling that for the next cycle, he’d become so enamored with Audrey that he wouldn’t be able to leave the room.

He fully restrained his wandering thoughts, avoiding thinking about the temperature on his fingertips, while looking at the Recruitment Orders.

But Audrey leaned in affectionately, wrapping around his arm, smiling as she leaned her head to accompany him to look at the Recruitment Orders and introduced: "These were found in the Goblin Camp, presumably things they looted from merchant caravans. They’re actually quite ordinary, but they’re just perfect for our territory!"

[Territory Cultivation Order: In the war-torn world, hope and opportunity are given to those who are brave and lucky. Each lord issuing a Recruitment Order brings opportunity and hope to the responding civilians. Some lucky ones successfully respond to the Land Cultivation Order, thus joining a brand-new, powerful territory with a hopeful life. Some unlucky ones respond to the Pioneer Order, becoming cannon fodder in precarious areas like mysterious lands, forests, and burial grounds. But no matter what, this is an opportunity for both the lord and the civilians! Using a Territory Cultivation Order allows the recruitment of 10 different units, resulting in ten civilians, with an extremely small probability of obtaining elite units like Swordsman, Archer, and Lancer.]

Lin Rui counted them, a total of 103 Recruitment Orders, capable of boosting the territory’s population by well over a thousand.

The most crucial point is that, with Lin Rui’s Luck Value, no matter what, this population could contain a large number of elite units, and there might even be talents with astounding Attributes.

Everyone automatically ignored the words "extremely small probability" in the introduction, adjusting it to at least a 15% probability of obtaining elite units.

"Eh? Father, why’s your heart racing so fast? And breathing so heavily?" After watching for a while, Audrey curiously asked.

Could it be that the territory getting a large population made him too excited?

Lin Rui closed his eyes, took a deep breath, trying to calm down, but upon closing his eyes, his sense of smell became exceptionally sensitive, with the subtle fragrance from her body continually drifting into his nose.

Lin Rui could only send her away, saying: "Go check on how everyone else is doing."

At this time, Hanna walked over with a smug smile from another direction, but she didn’t come close and instead tossed Lin Rui a Crystal Stone: "No need to go. My subordinates found another treasure; I’m here to bid farewell to you, Lord."

Audrey simply rejoiced: "Wicked woman, hurry up and leave. Best not to return ever."

Hanna glanced mischievously at Audrey, the corner of her mouth curling up to reveal a meaningful smile: "Sometimes it’s indeed happier to be an ignorant fool."

"Hmm? What’s up with that wicked woman today? Speaking weirdly."

Turning, Hanna left directly with the support of the troops and her following Death’s Wings, leaving only one sentence for Audrey: "Well then, enjoy the next cycle. The benefits I’ve left for you, after all, my future joyful life depends entirely on you."

"Hmm? What does she mean? Why would her joy depend entirely on me? Could it be she likes women?" Audrey furrowed her delicate brows, her amethyst-like large eyes full of confusion.

Lin Rui coughed lightly, decisively choosing silence, not providing an answer.

He looked at the item in his hand [Goblin Warlord Camp].

[Goblin Warlord Camp: Compared to their brutish Orc relatives, goblins appear too cunning and cowardly. Goblins prefer using deceitful tricks and strategies; direct combat is also an option but only as a last resort. All goblins engage in dirty tricks, and among these little fellows, the strategists are the most dangerous, and it’s easier for them to rise to higher ranks. Those who climbed to the top of the tribe are often referred to as War Generals or Generals, though some quirky tribes might use some localized titles such as Wolf Khan, Great King, Sovereign, Borgata, Chieftain King, or Great Griff. But regardless of which title, once reaching the tribe’s peak, the race’s hero, these goblins always love to secretly stash something away, like rabbits with three burrows.]

[Using it can form a Goblin Camp anywhere, generating 2000 goblins daily, with a slight chance of producing elite night goblins or formidable Green-skinned Orcs. (Note: If you can’t take them for a satisfying battle, they will inevitably become a problem in your territory; they steal items, rob passersby, harass the populace, committing all sorts of evil)]

Lin Rui’s eyes lit up; this was a building with effects similar to the Little Fishman Camp.

Don’t mind its inconspicuousness, it actually produces quite a bit each day.

The crucial part is that each time the Territorial Essence triggers the Historically Significant Trait, it becomes a carnival for these guys. Thousands upon thousands of monsters appear in one go, impacting the territory.

This amount, even at the lowest level of Fishmen and goblins, can bring considerable revenue to the territory.
