Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 840 - 149: Semi-Divine Artifact: Banner of All Living Beings’ Command (Part 2)

"For the sealing and assassination plans against the Ancient Saint Great Mage, we've prepared more than dozens of them, and the success rate is over 50%."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have maintained peace with the academy for so long. Now with the assistance of various factions, even the academy itself is involved in the battle plan. If all forces work together with one heart and mind, I believe the probability of solving the Shadow of Evil will further increase, from 50% to 80%, even 90%!"

"I'll head to the Jade Heart right away and order everyone to review previous battle plans."

Lin Rui quickly held down Rose, who was about to get up, and said, "Why so rushed? With so many elf marshals and generals, do you think they wouldn't have thought of this? How to designate battle plans, how to command coalition forces, it probably requires representatives from major forces to discuss for a while, then each explains their own background and trump cards. Only then can we finalize the battle plan. There's a person responsible for this, so you don't need to worry. We should focus on other matters now."

"Other matters?" Rose asked puzzledly, "Didn't you say our current task is to tackle the Blood-colored Demon Shadow?"

"Yes, but how to tackle it? Before the Dragon Slayer Warrior slays dragons, shouldn't they first equip the finest armor, grab the sharpest weapons, and then set out?"

Rose immediately caught on and said, "You're eyeing the Fine Imperial Court Treasure Vault!?"

Otherwise, why would I talk so much and build up so much momentum?

Of course, this couldn't be said directly, otherwise, even if Rose had softened a bit, she'd still be tempted to hit him.

So Lin Rui changed his tactic and gently persuaded, "The Empress is very ambitious, and naturally looks down on the little things in the Imperial Court. I think she probably cannot take away that much material upon leaving."

The wealth in the Fine Imperial Court Treasury is truly massive. The last time Lin Rui only visited a single place and couldn't even get through one percent of a single treasury.

If the Empress's plan is realized smoothly, her ascent to godhood should be somewhat hasty, leaving her no chance to pack up the wealth here.

Most of the materials here will be buried beneath the ruins of this world's wasteland in the future. Maybe in later generations, treasure hunters or fortuitous people could find this place through a treasure map, retrieving one in ten thousand or even one in a hundred thousand of the corroded materials remaining after time.

Under these circumstances, entering the treasure vault under the guise of preparing to annihilate the Shadow of Evil won't be meddled by the Empress.

She might even be glad to see it happen. In such times, any discrepancy can be blamed on Lin Rui. She's managed the vault for so many years, surely plundering an unknown amount of wealth herself.

Judging from the Hero's Heart alone, anything she needed was hidden in her own private vault.

The national treasury's deficit is probably due to the amount she embezzled, and it can't withstand an audit.

After all, women are like hamsters, hoarding a bit here and there, amassing a vast collection over these thousands of years.

No one dares to investigate now, firstly due to the overwhelming authority of the Empress, and secondly because no one would think that the Empress they revered was planning to abandon them.

With a frown, Rose asked, "Does the Empress doing this live up to the respect and love of the entire forest? I feel like the Empress isn't that kind of person. Are you lying to me just to trick me into helping you take the wealth from the vault?"

Rose deeply understands the burden of leadership. It's when everyone eagerly awaits your every word. You fight, they follow. Whatever you say, they'll trust and adore you, respect you, even entrust you with their lives.

Your every word, your actions, and plans, concern the lives of countless people and their families.

Under such circumstances, even a leader is bound to this land, this world, and its people.

Possibly pursuing a lifelong goal to do something for those following you, how could one easily abandon them?

Lin Rui felt a bit guilty; her doubt was certainly reasonable. Lin Rui shared his analysis with her to ensure she'd help him locate truly valuable things in the vault.

But Lin Rui wouldn't go as far as to make up a story to deceive her.

Feeling her fingers tense as they massaged his temples, Lin Rui had to say, "What do you call a world? Do you care about this Colonization Star? Have you seen its entirety? Do you have any particular affection for this planet?"

"It's because there are some familiar people, people you like, in this world that you care about it. Or rather, it's this that makes the world comprehensible."

"If you come back with me to the territory, your world is me and my territory. It's the same for the Empress. She wouldn't think she's betraying the forest's people, only that she's leading those who revere and admire her into a better world. Those who choose to follow her are thus exalted, entered the Divine Kingdom, or attained permanent peace and a more comfortable environment. No longer needing to consider the erosion of graveyards or demons and not being divided by other divine spirits or forces, there's no internal warfare. This is her true form of gratitude towards those who respect and adore her so much."

Just like me, Lin Rui lazily took out a Semi-Divine Artifact from the storage space, saying, "I occasionally give benefits to the territory's people, making them healthier and stronger. If I became a Divine Spirit, I'd certainly lead them into my world first!"

With a deep sigh, Rose took the Semi-Divine Artifact handed over by Lin Rui and resignedly said, "At this stage, what choice do I have but to believe you? Even if you deceive me, I can only help you find stuff, since I've already let you succeed."

"Haha!" Lin Rui laughed heartily. "Women, indeed, think of their family before they're won over. Once conquered, they contemplate how to extract more from their family."

This [Semi-Divine Artifact: Banner of All Living Beings' Command] was a blast fall Lin Rui obtained after killing Setra, each effect stronger than the last!

The first can summon all Heroic Spirit Warriors, deceased in this world's battles, to serve again for three hours.

Given Lin Rui's current situation, he could casually command an army of over a hundred thousand Heroic Spirits, transforming himself practically into the God of the Dead!

Even Setra and Audrey probably didn't possess such formidable power.

After all, Lin Rui previously summoned a large number of War Altar Guards, equivalent to getting a few million Spirit Crystal Coins for free!
