Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 872 - 170: Master of the Wild Hunt, Ailindir Shadow Moon (2)

Nancy really felt like she couldn't last a single second, completely unable to imagine how she could engage in fierce battle with such a monster for several minutes, let alone hours.

Hours! That's probably enough time for this monster to pulverize her bones and scatter her ashes thousands of times.

As the transparent shield dissipated, Nancy hurriedly led her people to bow towards Gulian, saying, "Thank you, Master Gu, for your righteous intervention."

Gulian nodded without saying much.

In fact, if it was only Gulian alone taking action, he wouldn't have been able to save these people.

Lin Rui and the Celestial Divine Priest's attacks carried vast amounts of True Damage and Divine Damage; Gulian's shield could immunize Spiritual Energy Damage, resist Divine Damage, but it couldn't do much against True Damage.

Therefore, even the infiltrating True Damage was enough to kill all the members of the empire's delegation.

The empire itself had also used a Divine Gifted Scroll to withstand this overwhelming True Damage.

Even Audrey, that dumb sweetheart, realizing something was amiss the first time she saw the empire and the academy's people, tugged Lin Rui's sleeve and said, "Father, it seems they have some shameful secret dealings between them."

Audrey's voice wasn't loud, but everyone present was elite, and this whisper felt as if someone were speaking directly in their ears, making both parties show somewhat unnatural expressions.

However, Lin Rui didn't say much; he had realized from the start that the empire and humans deliberately came at separate times yet seemed to form an alliance in secret, advancing and retreating together.

Otherwise, Gulian wouldn't have risked so much to involve himself in Lin Rui and the empire's dispute.

After all, Lin Rui's might is already astonishing; he's also the deputy commander of this operation, a key link in the battle.

If he offended Lin Rui, it would be disadvantageous for the academy regardless of the situation.

Even saying it was merely for the alliance felt a bit forced.

So Lin Rui looked towards Gulian, saying, "You can mediate, but the empire will pay the price, and you will bear it! Let your arrogant and unbridled empire recognize the reality today, it's not that when you offend someone, they'll surely forgive you! If apologies were useful, why would we need laws?"

Gulian's smile slightly faded, asking, "Today, are you not planning to let it go?"

As his attitude shifted, hundreds of mages behind him simultaneously activated their Spiritual Energy, causing their mage robes to flutter despite no wind.

Lin Rui instantly laughed, asking, "So, you want to rely on numbers?"

Single combat was never Lin Rui's style; he loved to gang up on opponents, using armies to crush them!

As long as there's no Trait like Setra's dynamic strength balancing, the Golden Pansy Domain's army can crush most of the strong.

Especially against mage units, which are particularly powerless before the Golden Pansy Domain.

The Golden Pansy Knights are considered mage nemeses; they not only have Spiritual Immunity but also charge wildly, unaffected by control.

They clash head-on with their tough bodies, impossible to control, making mages feel as if their chests have been hit by a Heavy Strike.

Their strongest bursts also have a very high chance of crashing into the Sub-Invincible Shield; just thinking about it can break one's spirit.

At this moment, a frosty voice sounded, "You start infighting before the battle even begins? What kind of loser teammates are you?"

This voice is colder than the cold wind; everyone instantly feels a sensation like Sharp Blade, cold edges piercing their skin.

Lin Rui immediately looked towards the voice, realizing it was coming from a tall female giant! Her presence is like moonlight on a winter night, frosty, bright, yet unreachable.

Based on appearance, she should be an elf too; however, her height far exceeds the norm, towering like a Frost Giant. Her skin is like new snow illuminated by moonlight, casting a faint blue and white hue, a reflection of the polar cold climate atop the treetops. Her eyes are ocean-deep, cold and bright, like stars adorning the night sky, revealing a merciless and resolute will. Her long silver-white hair reaches her waist, like moonlight flowing, shimmering with cold gleams as it sways with the wind.

A dark blue long dress inlaid with star-like silver embellishments, resembling the Milky Way cascading from the night sky. When the hem gently sways, you can almost hear the sound of cold wind sweeping through the snowy landscape. Draped behind her is a snowy cape, like a polar blizzard, tumbling with an icy and mighty force.

Lin Rui could immediately identify her as the strongest elf, Master of the Wild Hunt, Airendil Shadow Moon!

Her aura is frigid and dignified, like a cold wind sweeping across a frozen wilderness. Her words are concise, yet each word carries a powerful will and an invincible force. When she fixes her gaze on something or someone, that cold stare can pierce the soul, leaving one shivering.

Standing before the crowd, though she chastised everyone, her demeanor remained elegant and composed, as if she could stay calm and rational no matter the circumstance, like a queen in the snow, unbound by worldly emotions.

Lin Rui was also stunned by such beauty he had never imagined.

In the mind of the ordinary, female giants should be terrifying and menacing, with bulging muscles!

Yet, Lin Rui didn't expect this Frost Giant to maintain her hunting robust Physique while boasting exceptionally outstanding beauty and graceful curves, elegant and captivating.

Lin Rui sighed deeply, regretting he probably couldn't handle such a grand physique.

Without Hanna's help, Lin Rui could at most puncture her.

But Lin Rui didn't want to be an old acupuncture doctor; it's too unfulfilling.

Of course, if Hanna were willing to collaborate, Lin Rui could become a real man for three minutes, attempting to conquer a mighty female giant.

[Strategic Commander Trait: Whip Incentive: even Legendary-level Minotaurs bow beneath the Enchanting Demon's skirts, accepting her lashings. The Enchanting Demon swings her long whip at allies. All allied units enter a heightened state, size increased by 150%, Life Value increased by 50%, Physical Attack Power +50%, Attack Speed +50%, Critical Strike +30%, lasting for 180 seconds, cooling down for 60 minutes.]

This trait would heighten size, increase attack speed, and induce Critical Strikes; Lin Rui experienced it once and felt exceptionally good.

Only Hanna could handle it; unfortunately, there was no further opportunity to try.

Mainly because Hanna had a biting tongue, loving to provoke Audrey, so the two couldn't play together.

Recently, Lin Rui has been enduring Audrey's boss-slaying trials in groups.

After all, which officer can withstand such trials?

Shadow Moon glanced coldly at Lin Rui, saying, "No wonder Rose wanted to plead with me in advance! If you keep looking at me with that disgusting gaze, I'll gouge your eyes out!"

Lin Rui clicked his tongue, that's the downside of low Charm. With high Charm, looking at the other person feels like appreciating beauty, evoking a sense of admiration and praise.

With low Charm, it's a nauseating gaze, deserving of having your eyes gouged out!

Of course, Lin Rui would never admit he was thinking about her teaming up with Hanna.

Lin Rui shrugged, nonchalantly stepping back, holding Audrey's slender waist, slightly pushing her graceful body forward.

Go, Pikachu!

It's time for you to showcase your beauty and words!

Audrey, aware and perhaps instinctively, immediately set her posture and said, "Such arrogance and conceit filled with elven characteristics! Do you think you're very beautiful? Would anyone spare another glance at you if you didn't speak just now?"

Her graceful body and subtle magnificence are full of persuasive power.

Shadow Moon merely snorted coldly, no longer investigating further; after all, an ordinary person would indeed be surprised upon seeing her appearance for the first time.

She coldly stated, "I don't care what grievances you have, but in the face of battle, infighting is forbidden! Don't act like loser teammates, dragging down everyone!"

Lin Rui directly refused, saying, "Wishful thinking, the other side has already threatened me, and should I collaborate with them to fight? I refuse to go to battle."
