Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 857 - 163: Enhancement Complete

Apart from bestowing soldiers with massive life value, what Lin Rui didn't anticipate was that this mythical artifact could actually increase the talent of a dark troop by 1!

It's important to know that Audrey's Dark Temple Warriors are all Heroic Spirit Level, and with an additional talent level, they would all reach Lord-level!

Lord-level!

What does that mean? Each one equals a major BOSS.

When Violet joined the Golden Pansy Domain, she was at the Lord level, and back then, she was already overwhelmingly powerful.

If an army could have all its members at the Lord-level, the only limit to its strength would then be its actual level. If they all used a massive amount of Experience Books to quickly elevate their level to Tier Six or even Tier Seven,

then human angels in front of them would just be targets for slaughter.

After all, human angels are only Heroic Spirit Level units.

More importantly, at the Lord-level, soldiers becoming casualties becomes exceedingly rare, so Audrey's used Command Value can yield long-term benefits without much worry of soldiers getting killed.

It's just a pity that Audrey's Blood Tax isn't increased based on the soldier's talent; it is influenced solely by the soldier's tier. Mainly because any unit above Elite-level can produce Spiritual Gems, so even if Lord-level is one degree higher than Heroic Spirit Level, it doesn't double production capabilities.

Instead, Lin Rui took special note of the last ability of this mythical artifact. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Shadow Summoning: Soldiers under the command of the user can consume a certain amount of Spiritual Energy Value to enhance their combat power and summon shadow clones to fight during attacks. These clones have 70% of the attack power and defense of the original and last for 10 seconds.

What is the most critical aspect of the undead?

Of course, it's numbers!

This Shadow Summoning ability can summon a mirror image, inheriting 70% of its own attack and defense, which makes it hard to distinguish.

This means that in an instant, Audrey's troop numbers could directly double.

One or two soldiers like this may not be noteworthy, but what about ten thousand or twenty thousand? Or even a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand!

You have to realize that once a hundred thousand troops use this trait, they instantly soar to two hundred thousand. This is almost a qualitative change! Fifty thousand troops instantly become one hundred thousand, enough to overwhelm any opposition.

Sometimes absolute numbers translate to absolute quality!

Moreover, with their new abilities, each attack has a 20% chance to entangle an enemy for 2 seconds.

With the original and the mirror attacking together, combined with the traits of the Golden Pansy Domain, it ensures the opponent, once attacked, is absolutely entangled.

Lin Rui has never had high requirements for Audrey's troops; as long as they can maintain the rear battle line, it's enough. If they can bind the opponent, preventing them from using skills and items, that would be even better.

Because offensive output mainly relies on magic abilities.

[Storm Heart: Legendary Trait: Storm Heart, the heavens and the earth are your domain! Your rule is all-encompassing, authority stretched across four corners. Your frosty gaze sweeps over the land, icy and merciless, making enemies tremble in fear. The power of Storm Heart is like a relentless storm, destroying everything, leaving behind terror and desolation. Your majesty is steep and lofty, overlooking all lives. The wrath of Storm Heart burns, the frost is biting, making the world shudder in its wake. Under your rule, the weak are crushed, the cowardly devoured. The heavens and earth serve as boundaries, Storm Heart dominates all! Whenever consuming more than 10% of Spiritual Energy Value to release a skill, every enemy unit engaged in combat on the battlefield has a 30% chance of being affected by Storm Fury, inflicting extra damage equal to 3% of your Spiritual Strength on enemies and slowing their speed by 15%.]

When Audrey's troops drag a large number of enemy forces into combat and entangle them, a single strike from Lin Rui would cause terrifying destruction to all entangled enemies on the battlefield.

Lin Rui is now Tier Seven and is about to break through to Tier Eight.

His 3% Spiritual Strength, along with various added true damage and divine damage, is enough to wipe out a massive portion of an opponent's life value in one stroke; as long as the opponent is below super-tier, they would be reduced to ashes, while those above super-tier would be significantly damaged.

Regarding this mythical artifact, Lin Rui couldn't be more satisfied. Especially since it's a woman's gown with black silk, making for an excellent cosplay skin; Audrey will surely bring out 120% of its effects.

Rose curled her lips and said, "As expected, whatever style is in your heart, that's the kind of style you'll choose!"

Rose had thought he was going to choose the Frost Heart last because the Frost Element has always been his style.

Lin Rui retracted his smile, cleared his throat, and said, "There's nothing I can do; it is the will of the gods."

Then Lin Rui looked at the other items in the box, a money pouch, and five Imperial Military Decrees.

Without hesitation, Lin Rui used the Imperial Military Decrees, adding a Fury Rune that costs 50 Glory Points to the Golden Pansy Knight Order.

Last time, Lin Rui used all recruitment scrolls at once on the [Heroic Spirit Level Heavy Spartan Guard], and now the Golden Pansy Knight Order has finally caught up.

Then Lin Rui thought for a moment and applied two Imperial Military Decrees to the Ice Blade Warrior.

The Ice Blade Warrior is a standard Close Combat Mage, or Magic Swordsman profession utilizing magical weapons; their traits are relatively average, even upon becoming Heroic Spirit Level, without much qualitative change.

[War Will: Heroic Spirit Level Trait: In the crucible of war, only a will of steel can forge a true warrior. The primary condition for defeating the enemy is steadfast belief in victory. With War Will, the Ice Blade Warrior increases both attack and defense to achieve unexpected victories, greatly boosting critical strike damage by +350%, retrying failed physical evasion checks.]
