Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor

That's right, Terion is a priest.

If you don't make a deliberate effort to remember, it's really hard for people to associate this two-meter brute in heavy armor, wielding a warhammer and charging at the front lines, with a priest who heals and saves lives.

But Lin Rui truly loves this character concept, a real priest should be swinging a cross at people; priestesses like Yvette are too frail.

Once Terion recovered, Lin Rui waved his hand and ordered everyone, "Take off, return to the territory."

The griffins spread their wings and ascended. Lin Rui sat steadily on the back of Death's Claw, immediately opening the communication panel to ask Dongg Qingxue, "I've finished dealing with the Undead Catastrophe, how are the explorers doing now?"

Dongg Qingxue replied immediately, "The situation is very tricky, we have lost all contact with three explorers. One explorer is confirmed dead, and five are struggling to hold on."

The situation is indeed very dire, out of a total of ten explorers, nine are in trouble. This is truly a test of survival!

Terion asked, "Lord, what should we do now, proceed with the rescue immediately?"

Lin Rui calmly replied, "We can't determine the situation yet, all the information from the explorers under attack, in order to survive, must be extremely urgent. If we go blindly to rescue, it might be a delayed save and not a timely one. Let's return to the territory first, bring the main troops out, and rescue at the same time. All griffins activate acceleration, rapid flight."

After accelerating, the griffins possess a speed that exceeds the speed of sound, and in just over ten minutes, Lin Rui saw the outline of the territory.

But the territory had already lost its previous lively, joyful atmosphere. Scattered across the wilderness were corpses lying in disorder, severed intestines, splattered blood, countless severed limbs, making it resemble a bloodstained slaughterhouse.

Near the territory's buildings, the battle continued, knights stood in formation against the dense beastmen, while Tier Three Rare Mage Schwartz unleashed a Flaming Storm that raged like a tornado through the beast tide. The air was filled with the charred smell of scorched earth and the stench of burnt rotten flesh.

Two Watchman Knights immediately activated Super Fire Meteor, striking with brilliant spiritual energy like meteors crashing to earth. The ferocity left two trenches over 150 meters long on the ground, leaving nothing but shattered bodies and splattered blood where its blade touched.

Deep within the beast tide, the two Watchman Knights showed no fear. The Martial God's Spear and Blade's Edge were unleashed, shredding all nearby enemies within a four-meter radius into pieces.

This scene was so explosive that the other soldiers in the territory were left gawking in shock.

Is this the terrifying power of a Heroic Spirit Level troop?

Before them, it was a scene of blood and gore, flying limbs and scattered corpses.

Even if the beastmen charged madly, they could always raise a storm of blood and rain.

After nearly half a minute of fierce fighting, the two Watchman Knights cleared the surrounding beastmen and then soared into the sky, unleashing Super Fire Meteor once more.

With an attack resembling meteor showers, it seemed as if the entire battlefield trembled violently, and a thunderous roar filled everyone's ears.

Even the fearless beastmen couldn't withstand such a fierce assault, and countless were utterly terrified, fleeing the battlefield while wailing.

A small skirmish?

This means the beast tide this time was at least two thousand strong.

But Lin Rui had never experienced such a relaxed small skirmish before; it was almost solely the soldiers that easily crushed the enemy forces.

Now Lin Rui is increasingly thinking that compared to ordinary soldiers, the territory's Rare Level and above powerful troops are like humanoid dragons. About a dozen smaller dragons ravaging the monster front, clashing with the Golden Pansy Clan's army, was also a kind of torment for the monsters.

After the battle, with so many corpses left, Audrey's strength quickly recovered.

Lin Rui jumped off Death's Claw and asked Violet, "I see there are corpses everywhere around the territory; how's the situation?"

Violet responded simply, "The territory was attacked twice and both times were repelled. One of those attacks was from nearby explorers, and they have surrendered."

"Explorers." Lin Rui was not surprised, having already anticipated this move from his compatriots, asked, "How many people?"

"A total of three, one man, and two women, with one being just a teenager. How should we handle them?"

These three must be the ones mentioned by Dongg Qingxue who had completely lost contact. Instead of returning to the territory, they planned to hide nearby and ambush once Lin Rui left.

Lin Rui glanced at the time and said indifferently, "Do as you see fit, I don't have time to deal with them. Where's Audrey?"

Violet righteously stated, "Leave it to me to handle; according to the laws of this world, they all must die. Lord, can you accept that?"
