After examining the strategic items, a Holy Grail Knight presented two statues of the Earth Mother Goddess in front of Lin Rui.
The Earth Mother Statue is essentially what is generally understood as a resource point.
Small resource points are typically statues made of sand sculpture material. Their loose structure cannot hold much Divine Power, even if they possess a little divinity, so each cycle provides only five hundred units of various resources.
Medium resource points are made of stone sculpture material, and there are online discussions about materials like black iron, brass, silver, etc.
This gilded level material is already exceptional, providing 500,000 units of various resources to the territory every cycle!
Combined with the territory’s Celestial Country trait, two gilded level statues of the Earth Mother can provide a total of 1,250,000 units of various resources to the territory.
Counting all resource points previously rewarded to the territory, Lin Rui has an income of 1,500,000 units of various resources per cycle, even if he does nothing.
If it weren’t for that annoying Taboo Object, Devil’s Golden Balance, Lin Rui could rely on the income from the resource points to gradually elevate the territory to city level, becoming a relaxed and timid little city Lord.
But this is something he can only imagine.
In this cold and hopeless world, without this Taboo Object, he wouldn’t dare to lie flat.
A little slack could lead to the destruction of the territory. In reverse circumstances, failure to advance means death!
Lin Rui waved his hand and continued to order, "Clear the battlefield, then go clean up the goblin camp in the Haunted Forest."
The territory fought a bloody battle to defeat the main force of this goblin troop, and if we don’t seize the camp’s wealth, it would only benefit others.
This is the goblin camp of the Wolf Wild and Haunted Forest areas. They plundered caravans, kidnapped travelers, and destroyed villages, so there should be considerable wealth.
Moreover, the territory needs to survey the terrain here to find the entrance to the Underground City. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Territorial Soldiers immediately spread out and started a dragnet search.
Everyone, including Su Xi, was already accustomed to Lin Rui’s unparalleled strength, now his Life Value and Spiritual Energy Value are fully restored to full state.
No one thought he needed any protection. So, every soldier dispersed, striving to quickly clean up everything and return safely to the territory before the cycle ends.
As everyone conducted a carpet search, Hanna deliberately distanced herself from Su Xi and Audrey, commanding her troops to disperse and search the area spanning dozens of miles.
Such a large scope, she moved freely, and no one noticed her disappearance, thinking she went to search another location.
Under the night sky, Hanna returned alone to the enormous War Machine.
Her smile revealed an enchanting demon-like mischievous expression, with delight after enduring humiliation to achieve her goal.
Even though the moonlight was unclear, she saw Lin Rui quietly meditating on the back of the War Machine.
Her pride made her smile as she approached silently, barefoot.
As she got closer, Lin Rui, although his eyes were closed, sighed, "Is it necessary?"
"Haha, necessary?" Hanna chuckled, "Still considering yourself an ancestor, my little darling? If I didn’t endure humiliation, would you fall into my hands and let me control you? Do you think it’s necessary!"
"You can still disappear." Lin Rui emerged from meditation and glanced at the sky, "Su Xi might be back in a few minutes. You can’t escape."
"A few minutes? Enough!" Hanna laughed arrogantly, "What’s the matter? My little darling~You can’t take my life? Now your will is so weak, you even dare not open your eyes to look at me?"
Lin Rui remained silent, it seemed that today was destined not to be controlled by his will.
Hanna walked forward with alluring steps, confidently grasping Lin Rui’s collar with both hands, her flawless cheeks pressed near Lin Rui, emitting a fragrant breeze, "Then it’s my turn... to take your life!"
In the next moment, Lin Rui was violently pulled beneath the War Machine, the war machine crouching on the ground blocked a splash of blood here, and the night echoed with the enchanting demon’s wanton, sadomasochistic shouts and laughter.
"Little darling, what happened? What happened to your former arrogance? Didn’t you disdain me, the enchanting demon? Why are you clinging to my legs now?"
"Hmm? Is it here? Beg me! Beg me, and I’ll give you an easy way out."
"Hahaha, my favorite view is your cold expression, the manner you always ignore me. You must be tough. Let me see how long you can hold on... Tsk, so quick. You surrendered already?"
"You thought I would let you off so easily? Do you know how long I waited for this opportunity? I have plenty of new tricks. Enough to try each one on you before Su Xi returns!"
Lin Rui gritted his teeth with humiliation, "No matter what, I will return to the territory smoothly and restore my full state! After that, wait for my revenge. I will pin you down, push you into Jilun Tower, and make you beg for mercy."
"Tsk tsk! Just like that position now? Standing behind me, holding my neck? Or grabbing my hair? Tsk... Can’t even handle thinking about it? Lord, you also don’t want your current disgrace to be known by others, do you?"
"What... do you want to do?"
"What to do? I just want a guarantee! You give me a guarantee, and I’ll ensure today’s events remain confidential."
"The one you gave Audrey, twice as much for me!"
"If you’re not afraid of exposure, she will kill you."
