CHAPTER 539: CHAPTER 260 PRE-WAR MILITARY INSPECTION

While Lin Rui was studying the [Avenging Goddess Spiritual Power Armor], the plaza in front of the territory palace had already filled with all the troops about to join the battle in organized formations.

Lin Rui stood on the broad and majestic steps in front of the palace, the steps being several hundred meters wide, fully showcasing the grandeur of the gigantic architecture.

Looking down from the steps, the army of the territory displayed fluttering banners, the formations imposing.

Lin Rui looked at the several heroes standing beside him and asked, "Have all the soldiers arrived?"

Violet saluted first and said, "The Golden Pansy Knight Order has all arrived, with a total of 1,457 participants, including 26 Epic Holy Grail Knights, 460 Heroic Spirit Knights, and 60 Griffin Knights."

This number invigorated everyone’s spirit.

That’s about two squads of Holy Grail Knights and four companies of Heroic Spirit Knights!

Possibly for many territories, this would be the overall scale of their armies, including those Explorers who can engage in Plane Wars.

Five hundred soldiers, thirty elite armored soldiers, this aligns with the military capabilities of many smaller territories.

With such a huge gap, how could they contend with the Golden Pansy Domain?

So even though Lin Rui has the Light Mark, no one dares to cause him trouble.

With merely the same scale, the disparity is glaringly apparent. This is an undeniable fact; a single Heroic Spirit Knight could effortlessly exterminate a territory’s entire military force. And the Golden Pansy Domain has almost four companies of such knights!

And there are twenty-six Epic Holy Grail Knights.

Epic-level, each capable of being the protagonist of an epic saga!

For instance, [Dante’s Inferno] is a fantasy epic of a knight wielding a longsword to slay numerous demons.

And these Holy Grail Knights, each can write their knightly epic by slaying thousands of demons in this style.

Lin Rui’s gaze turned towards the knight formations, beneath the family flag with a blue background and golden emblem, all knights wore silver heavy power armor, their family badges on the chest bright and dazzling, forming neat lines within the formation.

The Golden Pansy Knight Order, the absolute elite of the territory, defending the territory while maintaining faith, with various shield enhancements, tough enough to make one’s scalp tingle, capable of attack, recovery, and control, showcasing vastly comprehensive abilities. However, it’s not a hexagonal warrior, as with all stats at A+, its defensive capabilities are at least SS+.

After Violet, Terion continued, "The territory’s combat infantry has also fully arrived, with a total of 4,650 participants, including two Legendary-level units, thirteen Epic-level units, 4,200 Black Banner Guard, and 310 Combat Priestesses."

Lin Rui immediately looked at the heavily armored formations of the territory; these are truly the backbone of the territory!

All clad in [MK Thunderbolt Type] power armor and [Nun Type Power Armor], are the heavy armored troops among the heavy armored troops.

Certainly, having such a vast scale greatly credits the Legendary-level Civil Servant Caroline. She exhausted herself, converting a new batch of over 1,500 recruitment scrolls of the territory into soldiers, and with strategic foresight, she planned a recruitment strategy for Lin Rui, supplementing over 1,200 Explorer soldiers.

It proves highly effective under private ownership to implement a conscription system for those with lasting properties.

These Explorers, after saying a tearful goodbye to their families last night, showed significant loyalty to the territory today. They know clearly that once the army steps onto Otherworld lands, only by obeying orders and following the Lord can they return to the territory and reunite with their families.

Thus, their formation is also very solemn. And there are many Federation military and police members among them, possessing very high execution quality in the military. Even if not reaching the shrewdness and competence of the Federation, the entire army’s demeanor absolutely doesn’t falter.

After winning several battles, this will also be a hardline army, distinctly different from the chaotic crowd of Explorer rabble.

With 4,600 individuals, it’s nearly four large battalions! Such a massive heavily armored elite force, with a minimum aptitude of Elite-level, is simply unimaginable for forces of other territories.

And they are not only vast in scale but also the sharpest in combat power within the territory. The most Legendary-level units exist within, whether Qiana or Su Xi, both are characterized by fierce output, with a team of Valkyries behind them all wielding dazzling weapons, able to switch freely between bow, sword, and spear forms. Their murderous frostiness will be the strongest epic units akin to a sea of the military. However, beside them, Su Ye and Su Hee, two Epic-level Celestial Punishment Hunters, carrying longswords, appear far less solemn.

The two frivolously fraternize, discussing and critiquing the countless stunning Valkyries and Combat Priestesses within the military formation.

The scene is solemnly silent, with only their whispers audible.

So much so, Lin Rui’s incredibly high Physique allowed him to hear their obscene conversation from the high platform.

"I say, Su Hee, you really are lucky. Just joined the territory and already encounter such a grand festival, tsk tsk, this is simply a gathering of beauties in the territory. The territory’s high-tier, high-Charm beauties are almost all here!"

"Senior Su Ye, you’ve been in the territory for so long, surely you’ve reached the level of passing through a flower garden without a leaf sticking to you with your amorousness, right?"

"Uh... considering it that way, it’s not wrong."

"Senior, then which beauties in the territory are worth paying attention to now?"

"Ah? You’ve asked the right person for that! Let me tell you, the territory’s current number one beauty is undoubtedly the Legendary-level female hero Galo. Have you seen her? That long-dressed beauty with a white veil on the platform. Then there’s Qiana and Su Xi. They are both super-tier beauties, only Galo’s Charm is maxed. The latter two don’t much add to Charm, plus one’s very cold and the other expressionless."
