CHAPTER 534: CHAPTER 257: THE POWERFUL STRATEGIC TRAIT OF THE LEGENDARY-LEVEL FEMALE KNIGHT HERO_2

Very simply increased his own combat power.

As a hero, his damage resistance is very strong. If he becomes uncontrollable, his melee output is off the charts, restoring his own health while slashing enemies.

He’s practically a battlefield bulldozer charging headfirst.

When he leads the charge, he can sturdily stand at the forefront of the battle line, dealing fierce damage and shattering the enemy’s elite phalanx.

Sending cannon fodder against him is almost ineffective.

Sending elites against him might end up being costly.

In a battle between equals, no matter how you choose, it’s quite difficult.

Violet, on the other hand, has an additional Legendary-level strategic trait! [Holy Light Guardian - Legendary Trait: You are the embodiment of the Holy Light, capable of providing strong support and protection to allies. All friendly units on the battlefield (note: all and any friendly units) are granted a Holy Light Shield, with divine resistance +10% and physical and spiritual defense +30%. Every 30 seconds, grants a defensive shield to the Commander’s soldiers, the shield value being the number of knights under Violet’s command on the battlefield * Violet’s tier value.]

Legendary-level, strategic trait!

It’s unclear how she managed to acquire it.

Violet is currently at Tier Five.

This means that every thirty seconds, she can provide the Commander’s soldiers with shield values of 5 * number of knights.

Currently, she can provide the knights with 6000 points of shield value.

This trumps the Sun Flame Knight’s elite-level trait, which can only provide 500 points.

The key is that her trait has no growth limit.

What if the knights reach millions?

In an apocalyptic-level battlefield, wouldn’t she constantly provide her subordinates with millions or even tens of millions of shield values in defense?

This almost makes the knights invincible.

Layer after layer of thick shields added externally, conventional means can no longer harm them.

Only divine damage and true damage can bypass the heavy spiritual shield, directly harming the true physique and life value.

She can provide this blessing to all units, regardless of oddities, witch demons, giant dragons, or even skeletons, granting divine resistance +10% and physical and spiritual defense +30%.

This means as long as she stands on the battlefield, the strength and hardness of all her soldiers increase by a notable margin.

A truly legendary, strategic-level trait.

Of course, this strongest state is uncertain, who knows when it might be achieved.

If she can command millions of knights, Lin Rui might have already started waging wars against deities.

By that time, even divine bombardments leave millions of shields as thin as paper, pretty much useless.

Her true strength lies in the super-tier stage after Tier Five, when she commands thousands or even tens of thousands of knights, directly providing soldiers with shield values in the tens of thousands, equating to an extra line of white health for the soldiers.

And in this stage, opponents do not generally have divine damage, so even a ten percent increase in divine resistance can mitigate a lot of damage.

Violet was in a very good mood after her promotion and actively introduced to Lin Rui: "Lord, I discovered that the [Epic Wonder Building: Holy Grail Champion Divine Hall] attracted not only high-tier knights who can traverse the Path of the Holy Grail, but also many rare-level and heroic spirit-level knights. I’ve already recruited dozens of knights into the Golden Pansy Knight Order."

Most of these knights are ranger knights from the Dragonbone Plain, and their mounts are diverse: griffins, pegasi, horned owls, and even sandworms, but all are extremely fast.

The lowest level for those with high-end mounts is the rare level.

Despite this, they couldn’t resist the powerful benefits of the Golden Pansy Domain and were quickly recruited and integrated by the territory’s recruiting officers.

Lin Rui had always trusted Legendary-level knight heroes and casually said, "I’ll leave the military preparations to you. There’s less than three hours until the Plane War countdown, open every armory and distribute the finest equipment, the best potions, and the highest-quality clan badges. I want every soldier in our family to have our family’s radiant spiritual ability badge emblazoned on their left chest when the Plane War begins."

Violet immediately bowed and said, "Everything follows your will, Lord."

What a reassuring young lady.

If everyone in the territory were like her, loyal, upright, pure, and just, I, as Lord, could rest easy and relax peacefully.

Unfortunately, individuals as reassuring as Violet are rare.

After arranging things with her, Lin Rui inevitably had to turn his attention to other problematic young women.

Where’s the leader of the territory’s gang of dark young girls?

Where’s Audrey gone?

Lin Rui asked the people around him, "The Plane War is about to start, where’s Audrey? Where did she go?"

She’s been developing her tier for half a day!

The territory is bustling, with people ferrying goods, preparing resources, gathering troops, bustling and lively.

Finding a goofy young girl in this crowd is no easy feat.

But fortunately, the aerial cavalry are absolutely elite in any force. They were the first to complete their re-equipment and were patrolling the territory, someone quickly informed Lin Rui.

"My Lord, I just saw Audrey head to the Royal Ranch at Titan Sky Mountain."

Audrey... My lord?

Lin Rui was genuinely surprised for a moment before he realized this goofy young girl had also been promoted to hero.

Others had to respectfully address her as Lord Audrey as well.

But this person was utterly unreliable, barely worthy of respect from the populace to be called Lord Audrey?

Lin Rui walked to the vicinity of the special building, the Royal Stable, and found her crouched among the animals of the ranch.

Her pale complexion truly clashed with the rugged wild beast camp, extremely conspicuous and eye-catching.

She muttered to herself, "This one won’t do, too small, too small, I don’t like small ones. I always prefer mighty and huge, it must at least be bigger than the Lord’s."

"This one won’t do either. Too ugly! My psychological barrier can’t take it, I’m getting goosebumps."

"This one, this one barely makes the cut, but might it be too big? What if the Lord can’t adapt later?"

Lin Rui was puzzled, what was she up to?

"Audrey!"

"Ah? Father, did you call for me?" Audrey promptly stood up from among the beast herd.

And with her motion, all the beast herd cowered to the ground, trembling.

She now truly held authority, commanding respect through presence alone!

As an epic-level dark mage hero, she was always on the brink of becoming a super-tier, legendary entity.

Her level of life was already a crushing presence over those giant beasts in the ranch.

With a snap of her fingers, no matter how mighty these beasts were, they could only turn into skeletons.

Lin Rui curiously asked, "What are you doing? I asked you to bring me the [Natural Melody], why are you here instead?"

"Oh, what’s the rush? You can complete tier advancement in less than three seconds. I can hand it over to you when the forces are assembling. But if I don’t quickly find a suitable mount for Caroline to breed during the Plane War, I’ll miss the chance."

"You need a mount?" No wonder she said she wanted a large one. Her first comment was that she preferred something big. She wants something bigger than the Lord’s.

"Your Holy Grail Knights don’t need mounts after all, but my Blood Dragon Knights do. My Blood Dragon Knights need them. The bigger the better. Our soldiers will be much stronger when their strength increases.

Lin Rui asked, "What new Undead Mage trait did you get when you advanced?"
