From entering the relic to leaving with a Rare-level hero and twenty Fanatics, it took a total of forty-seven minutes.
If other forces within the empire knew about this speed of Chaos invasion purification, they would surely be astonished.
Lin Rui didn’t even have time to pay attention to this achievement; the Dark Strike was still having ongoing impacts, with numerous green plague regions, terrifying monster nests, and dangerous areas like dark crypts appearing within several hundred miles of the territory.
All of this must be swiftly cleared out, or they might overflow at any moment and attack other territories.
Lin Rui said to Hanna: "I’ll give you a Griffin as a mount. You and Lundestadte lead three squads of Sun Flame Knights and two Mages from the territory, immediately go out and clear the evil monsters."
"Master trusts me so much, I definitely won’t cause any trouble behind your back."
"Shut up!" Lin Rui was a bit fed up with this Witch Demon King; there was nothing she couldn’t stir up.
Hanna bit her lip, smiling, rushed over from the front and hugged Lin Rui, playfully rubbing her cheek on his chest, then contentedly leaned over, waved forcefully to say goodbye to Lin Rui, and left the territory with the knights to clear the monsters.
Audrey snorted furiously at her retreating back, this woman was simply detestable! Brazenly snatching her Lord.
When she turned around, she found the Lord had long since walked into the trading market without stopping.
With the Dark Strike still ongoing, Lin Rui had no time to rest; he had to immediately inventory the items from this relic clearing and sell the equipment as soon as possible.
This is a win-win situation; the territory gets a lot of resources, and other Explorers get a greater chance of survival.
Clearing demons in the relic has always resulted in rich equipment drops; this time there were a total of 2465 Ordinary-level pieces, 151 Excellence Level pieces, and 18 Fine-level pieces.
Due to Hanna’s surrender, the big prize didn’t drop, so a few Rare Level Equipment and Strategic Treasures were missing.
Lin Rui quickly arranged all the items; nearly three thousand pieces of equipment were still quite considerable, enough to arm a Knight’s Domain from start to finish with hundreds of soldiers.
Explorers, in pursuit of survival, spared no expense; anything their territory could use, they immediately snapped up.
The territory’s wealth rose rapidly like flowing water.
Just as the equipment was handled, Audrey came over with four yellow-brown Stone Horned Beast Hide Pouches, saying: "Lord, here’s the loot Terion just sent back."
Lin Rui quickly browsed through, many were even standard equipment used by territorial soldiers now, like the Holy Light Church Judgement Knight Order plate armor set.
There were also various precious treasures and valuable Recruitment Scrolls, a dazzling array.
Finally, the moment had arrived!
The territory’s wealth was enough to pile up a treasury, a dazzling array.
Yet the backpack seemed empty, depleted of resources.
Lin Rui called over Soro, saying: "Sort out these spoils. Store precious materials in a separate warehouse for display, and deal with them when I return. Sell off the equipment below Enhanced-level directly. I have too many things to handle, no time left to watch over the shop. I’ve set up the resource collection ratio in the shop; just pay attention and inject funds when they run low."
Soro was busy, feet not touching the ground, wishing he could multitask twofold, but this was the happy harvest moment of the territory, so he smiled and said: "No problem, Lord, I’ll handle it here."
Audrey unusually didn’t go on a spending spree tonight; she followed closely behind Lin Rui, asking: "Lord, where are we going now? Are we also heading out to clear monsters?"
Lin Rui strode toward the Ogre Prisoner Camp, and as he walked, he took out the Lucky Coin Sifting Sand from his pocket, directly used it, saying: "First, let’s go to the Ogre Camp to see if there are any special captives today."
The Lucky Coin Sifting Sand directly transformed into a light stream and flew into the busy and bustling middle of the territory.
Lin Rui attentively observed the changes within several hundred meters of the territory, seemingly faintly hearing a voice: "Oh~"
The voice was cute and perplexed, a bit familiar; Lin Rui’s brain quickly scanned the faces of all the residents who had conversed in the territory, soon identifying the target. He instructed Audrey: "Let Silver Moon bring the Alchemist Confused Little Auntie over."
"Is there good news? I’ll have Silver Moon go right away."
Silver Moon was a nimble Little Werewolf, who would skilfully leap across rooftops, disappearing within several jumps.
Lin Rui also quickly reached the Ogre Prisoner Camp entrance, tore off the parchment paper pasted on the gate.
[Today’s goods: 2 Remaining refresh time: 11 hours 56 minutes]
[Goods one: a sickly, thin human woman, priced at 10 Spirit Crystal Coins.]
[Goods two: a high-quality human can, unfortunately spoiled, priced at 1000 Spirit Crystal Coins.]
Without much thought, Lin Rui paid all the money; a Tier Three Rare Mage Schwartz had already earned him a big fortune, now whatever came out wouldn’t be a loss.
After paying, two unconscious humans were tossed out from the camp gate.
Lin Rui checked, finding the supposedly spoiled human can was actually a Tier Three Heroic Spirit Sun Flame Knight!
