Chapter 1011: Chapter 230: Geographical Distribution

Lin Rui left the Divine Throne Banquet and went straight to the Champion Divine Hall.

Even though the territory already had a Legendary-level palace that was quieter and more spacious, Wutong still preferred staying in the Champion Divine Hall.

Mainly because everyone who entered here would make a choice from the bottom of their heart, which made the now-idle Wutong more interested.

In fact, Wutong was no longer as idle as before. Lin Rui had basically dumped all the internal affairs onto her.

When Lin Rui arrived, he saw Caroline already standing at her side, giving a detailed work report.

"All the recruitment quotas refreshed by the [Historically Significant] Trait for troops within the territory have already been fully recruited."

"The current problem in the territory is that vampiric corruption and Seductive Torture Corrosion are getting worse and are close to spiraling out of control."

Wutong calmly gave instructions: "Have Hanna temporarily stop recruiting Slaughter Sisters. Do not stop recruiting Crimson Chalice: Battle Priestess. Tell Audrey to march the troops out and station them toward the Giant Snake River using the Seed of the Eternal Tree as the anchor."

Hanna’s Slaughter Sisters are actually an offensive troop type as well. As Enchanting Demon infantry, each of them has Magic output and can activate Slaughter Mastery for the whole army, making them a Strategic Level troop.

Although these Enchanting Demons have become slaughter machines with almost no thoughts in their heads—only wanting to kill and not thinking about lust—their voluptuous bodies still instinctively spread Seductive Torture Corrosion.

So their numbers now needed to be controlled, which was easy enough. Their recruitment generally doesn’t trigger Talent upgrades; keeping them at a certain headcount is sufficient.

But Heilv Castle is different. Recruitment of Crimson Chalice: Battle Priestess here is completely based on luck. At the best, the Golden Pansy Domain even recruited Epic-level Combat Nuns from it.

Thanks to the Strategic effect of the dragon skin cloak, Crimson Chalice: Battle Nun can be counted as the troop type with the highest number in any army.

This lets their figures blend into any troop formation.

The units that include this capability are: [Sun Flame Knight], [Inner Ring Guard Knight], [Holy Hall Maid Guard], [Black Banner Guard], and [Heroic Spirit Level Species: Dark Temple Warrior].

This is extremely meaningful, first of all because it allows expanding the number of Knights.

Violet’s Strategic Trait: [Holy Light Guardian · Legendary Trait: You are the incarnation of Holy Light, able to provide powerful support and protection for your allies. All friendly units on the battlefield (note: absolutely all friendly units) gain the blessing of Holy Light Shield, Divine Resistance +10%, Physical and Spiritual Defense +30%. Every 30 seconds, you can grant the Commander’s soldiers a defensive shield whose Shield Value equals the number of Knights under Violet’s command * Violet’s Tier Value.]

All allies receiving the Holy Light Guardian bonus means that Undead, Enchanting Demons, and Elves alike all benefit from this buff.

Legendary-level Strategic Trait! Entire army benefits!

Soldiers not directly commanded by Violet gain Divine Resistance +10%, Physical and Spiritual Defense +30%.

Violet is currently Tier Seven.

So every thirty seconds she can give all Commanders’ soldiers a shield of 7 * number of Knights in Shield Value.

Right now that’s more than 45,000 points of Shield Value for the Knights.

This absolutely crushes the Elite-level Trait of the Sun Flame Knight, which only gives 500 points.

The key is that this Trait has no growth cap.

As long as Lin Rui is willing to invest and continuously offset the Command Value consumed by the soldiers under Violet’s command, it’s only a matter of time before the Shield Value reaches 90,000, then 180,000.

Even if Violet only has two Cavalry Divisions, the Shield Value would exceed 200,000.

This practically makes the Knights invincible.

Layer upon layer of thick shields on the outside means conventional methods can hardly hurt them at all.

Only Divine Damage and True Damage can ignore the heavy Spiritual Shield and directly harm their real Physique and Life Value.

And she herself can also provide all units—no matter what they are, cow-headed demons or snake-bodied monsters, Witch Demon, Giant Dragon, even bare skeleton frames—with the blessing of Divine Resistance +10%, Physical and Spiritual Defense +30%.

That is, as long as she is standing on the battlefield, all friendly soldiers’ overall strength and durability are pushed up a tier.

A truly Legendary-level Strategic Trait.

Besides buffing Violet, the Dark Temple Warriors are also strengthened by the Battle Nuns.

[Shadow Fortress: Heroic Spirit Level Trait: The Shadow Wall is solid as rock; Breaking Enemy’s Blade is unmatched. Blood Battle to Death, united as one—though enemies are myriad, I still advance. Courage as Strong as Iron, faith as steel; Sharpness of Attack dissolves into the unseen. Glory of Battle belongs to the brave, Dark Temple, Warrior’s Soul.]

[Dark Temple Warrior Count 12,000: Life Value Limit +100%, Damage Reduction +50%, every 10 seconds gain a Divine Shield equal to 30% of own Life Value. Each time a Dark Temple Warrior kills an enemy, a Shadow Chain is created; all friendly units within 50 meters gain an all-around stat buff equal to 30% of the killed unit’s Attributes for 4 seconds. The killer gains the effect [Shadow Heart], reducing all Dark Warrior skill cooldowns by 50%, and attacks deal an additional 20% True Damage.]

This Heroic Spirit Level Trait has already been successfully activated; this is top-tier enhancement.

From the Attributes alone you can tell this buff is extremely powerful.

It not only boosts the combat power of Dark Temple Warriors, but also causes some Elite-level Battle Nuns to obtain Heroic Spirit Level Traits, making it a true win–win situation.
