The key point is that the Knights have also exhausted their Spiritual Power. They don't have Epic Traits, so with their Spiritual Power depleted, their output will drop significantly.
Lin Rui planned to take them back for a rest and head out of the territory later in the night to see what monsters lurk in the darkness.
He had been eyeing that Tier One Excellence Level Troop Recruitment Scroll Young Master Zhao dropped for quite some time.
Lusen stepped forward and said, "In this direction, I'll lead the way for the Lord."
Having already run a distance, by the time they arrived at the Hyena Camp, the sunset had already disappeared behind the mountain, leaving only the last trace of afterglow. The remaining sun looked like blood, appearing quite eerie.
The Hyena Camp lay amidst a barren rocky area, illuminated by several bonfires and surrounded by wooden stakes, with only one cave inside serving as the Hyena Queen's lair.
This made cleaning it quite convenient, and the Knights quickly found the treasure chest storing the camp's resources.
[Ding, acquired war spoils, the Beastman Warband's treasure chest. Upon opening, it will yield all the resources accumulated by the Beastman Warband's plunder.]
As they continued to explore deeper into the cave, Lusen's surprised voice echoed: "Look what I've found."
Roger chuckled and said, "He's so excited. Did he find the Hyena Queen's underwear?"
Lin Rui glanced at him and remarked, "You should keep your distance from Lusen in the future. I noticed you're showing signs of becoming like him."
Roger's smile instantly froze on his face; this was terrifying to consider! Why did he even think of that? It must be from spending too much time with Lusen!
The group rushed over and saw, in front of Lusen, dozens of Beastmen and Magical Beast captives tied up by the hyenas, along with seven farmers and a Woodland Fairy flying in the air!
The Woodland Fairy, one of the emblematic troops of the Bastion race!
In the forest, not only are there Beastman Warbands, Chaos Beast Swarms, and Elves, but also many wise species that haven't fallen; together they form countless Bastion cities within the forest. Troops like Flower Demons, Centaurs, Woodland Fairies, Oak Tree Demons, Unicorns, and Jade Dragons, all represent the Bastion race.
The Woodland Fairy isn't as tall as the knights over one meter ninety but stands around one meter fifty. Their entire body is a crystal-like blue, with eyes lacking pupils and whites, replaced by a silver shimmer. Their eyes and ears are quite elongated, adorned with dozens of blooming pink flowers in her flowing gray hair.
The most striking feature is their naked bodies, with only green vines wrapped around their thighs, arms, and back, two vines covering her most private areas, leaving 99% of her skin exposed, flying barefoot in the air.
Even Lin Rui couldn't help but look up a few times, "Hmm, legal loli, very interesting!"
Lusen had simply turned into a slobbering admirer, hovering beside the Woodland Fairy, grandstanding about his bravery and strength, bragging about how he defeated the Hyena Queen and wiped out the entire camp. Not to say he was spouting gibberish because 80% of it was factual. Just swap his role with the Hyena Queen, and there wouldn't be any issue.
But the Woodland Fairy completely ignored this sycophant's flattery, flying over to Lin Rui, and said, "Honorable human Lord, your courageous battle destroyed this Hyena Camp, saving my life, thank you for your rescue, I will surely repay you."
"Hmm." Lin Rui nodded coolly, waiting for the little fairy to continue.
And then?
And then?
That's it?
How about pledging yourself to warm the Lord's bed indefinitely? You could at least offer something more substantial.
Lord, I pluck feathers from even passing swans, peel skin from beasts. Even the Goddess of Fortune glancing at me must leave behind abundant gifts. Do you, a tiny Woodland Fairy, think a few words will suffice?
Seeing the legal loli was not taking the hint, Lin Rui looked at Roger and calmly said, "Capture all these Beastmen, Beast Swarms, Undead that can't be recruited back to the territory, chop them up and kill them for loot drops."
After speaking, Lin Rui maintained a serene look at the legal loli in front, emotionlessly stating, "Where did you leave off? Please continue."
The legal loli shivered in fear, not daring to breathe heavily, weakly replying, "I mean, esteemed Lord, you saved my life, please let me repay this life-saving grace. Could I apply to become a member of your territory? I am actually quite useful and can certainly contribute to the development of your domain."
