Chapter 150: Attacking the Stone Tablet Forest, Divine City Ruins
Translator: Henyo© Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The battle at the Three Rivers was won by the alliance of the humans and elves.
The Flying Tiger Clan retreated from the Three Rivers.
At the same time, they were forced to give up on this defensive location.
There were three rivers at this location. It was a plains area and the transportation here was very developed.
Once they occupied this place, they could attack from three sides.
Currently, the elves were preparing to discuss how to attack.
Lin Chen brought Snow Foam and the others back to the Red Pine Forest.
As soon as he returned, he saw Gold Mu reporting, “Commander-in-chief, the supreme commander-in-chief wants you to look for him in the main city after you return.”
“Okay!”
Lin Chen nodded and said to Snow Foam, “Wait here first.”
He headed straight for the main city.
They met Dragon Yandao in the conference room.
“Greetings, Commander.” Lin Chen cupped his hands.
“Here you are. Sit.”
Dragon Yandao waved his hand, and a spiritual map appeared on the table. He said first, “This time, you were able to form an alliance with the elves, obtain the Red Pine Forest, and take down the Three Rivers, giving us a higher chance of entering the top three. You deserve credit. I’ve already written a report and sent it to the Imperial Capital. I’ve reported your achievements to the king and the parliament… If nothing goes wrong, you’ll be promoted to a seventh-rank earl soon.”
It was only when Lin Chen arrived at the Imperial Capital that he realized that the titles of Dukes and above in the Dragon Spirit Kingdom were divided into nine levels.
This was also to make it easier to reward people who had contributed.
For Lin Chen’s contribution this time, the king and the parliament would definitely reward him.
Otherwise, who would be willing to work for the country in the future?
However, Lin Chen was already an earl.
It was clearly impossible for him to be promoted to a marquis directly.
Lin Chen’s Loyal Earl title was a ninth-rank earl.
Although he was a titled noble, his rank was still the lowest.
Now that Dragon Yandao said that Lin Chen could advance to rank 7, it was already skipping a grade.
“I still have to thank Protector Duke for nurturing me.”
Lin Chen was also a person who knew how to socialize.
“It would be great if I could nurture a disciple like you!”
Dragon Yandao smiled. “Lin Chen, now that you’ve made a name for yourself in one battle, I can tell you something… Let’s talk about the war first! Look, this is the Three Rivers, and behind us is the main territory of the Flying Tiger Clan. This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It’s not a good direction to attack. Therefore, we plan to split up with the elves and attack from two different directions. We plan to go north. The territory in the south will be handed over to the elves.”
“I have no objections.”
Lin Chen immediately expressed himself.
Lin Chen did not want to interfere in strategic decisions.
He would just be the vanguard and be free.
“Alright, then after you return, immediately lead your soldiers and the two troops of the Hud brothers to the Three Rivers to prepare to attack the north. The rest of the soldiers will guard various places.”
Dragon Yandao explained the battle plan again and then put away the map. However, he told Lin Chen something else. “There’s another thing. After this battle, the Divine City Ruins might be about to open! Every battlefield has a divine city, and it’s under the jurisdiction of the Divine Hall. Every time the divine city ruins are opened, all the members in the top too of the Potential Rankings will be able to enter. I think this is definitely an opportunity for you.”
“Divine City Ruins…”
Lin Chen asked, “What’s inside?”
“I’ve only gone in once, but the ruins of every battlefield are different. However, what I want to tell you is that if you go once, the rewards will definitely be huge… However, it’s also very dangerous.”
Dragon Yandao said, “Although there will be envoys from the Divine Hall to protect the safety of the people on the way to the divine city, killing is allowed in the ruins. If you go alone, you might encounter danger. Of course, danger and opportunity coexist. It depends on how you choose!”
Hearing that Dragon Yandao said that the rewards in the divine city ruins were very generous, Lin Chen had already made up his mind. He said, “I still have some people from the Blue Planet here. 1 want to send them back, but I don’t know if I can make it to the divine city ruins in time.”
“If you want to go, I can send troops to send them back.”
Dragon Yandao continued, “For now, it’s best for you to improve your strength quickly. On the empire’s battlefield, strength represents everything!”
“Then I’ll have to trouble Protector Duke… After the battle, I can participate in the ruins.”
Lin Chen expressed his willingness to go.
Moreover, he was not afraid of danger.
With Lin Chen’s speed, he was confident that no one could catch him as long as he wanted to escape.
Therefore, Lin Chen should be able to take a look at this ruin.
“Then it s decided. I’ll get someone at the peak of the Second Rank to escort them back. You don’t have to worry at all.”
Dragon Yandao reassured Lin Chen.
Actually, it was not that Snow Foam and the others could not stay on the empire s battlefield.
However, it was against the rules of the Dragon Protector Army.
In addition, Snow Foam and the others had just reached Level 150. If they stayed here, they would only be cannon fodder.
Dragon Yandao definitely knew that the people Lin Chen had spent so much effort to save were definitely not here to be cannon fodder.
Lin Chen returned to the base.
Soon, a Second Rank army arrived and took Snow Foam and the others away.
Before leaving, Lin Chen instructed Snow Foam, “When you reach Sky Moon City, join the decision-making team and replace Liu Mengyao as the deputy city lord. Let Mengyao cultivate with the Holy Maiden Tribe in peace.”
“Will they believe what I say?” Snow Foam expressed that there was no evidence for her taking command.. What should she say when she returned?
