Now that Green Watson was crippled, Zeuss had to return to clean up the mess.
The Merlin Family's side suddenly became stable. Thorne had ultimately advanced to the 6th Rank of the Sword Saint realm and was showing off his Aura Battle Armor every day. He was very grateful to Lin Yun and admired him.
The Merlins were also deeply grateful because Lin Yun had brought back such a huge harvest this time. The three races alone could fill an entire fort.
The Merlin Family had suffered heavy losses, and their overall strength sharply declined, but they could still control the fort because the Fireblade Tribe was crippled and couldn't threaten it.
The Watson Family and the Black Tower had recently been busy mobilizing for the general attack on the Raging Flame Plane, so no one had time to come to the Merlin Family.
The division of the Horn of Fertility also followed the original loot attribution.
Lin Yun took out three drops of God Blood, as well as an alchemical solution, and diluted the blood and divided it for the Merlins.
This was one of the main reasons that all of the Merlins in the Flame Demon Fort had a good impression of Lin Yun.
That day, when Green Watson showed off his strength, none of the Merlins dared to be angry or say anything. But then, Mafa Merlin had crippled Green Watson, and Zeuss was actually the one to knock him out, apologize, and carry him while gloomily walking away.
This felt like a release to most of them. The Merlin Family had been stifled ever since Green Watson came, but they were finally okay.
And all those who drank the potion gained a rank, and after that, they could still feel their strength continuously increasing.
After all, the family members that came here were ordinary family members, ones that weren't very talented. All the geniuses were being nurtured at the headquarters of the Merlin Family. Which of them would be willing to come to a dangerous place like the Raging Flame Plane?
Everyone here was battle-hardened and had acc.u.mulated enough power. The only thing restricting their advancement was their own innate talent.
With the potion prepared by Lin Yun, they had gained a trace of talent, and even their comprehension was upgraded. As a result, everyone ranked up.
The Archmages were killed during the assassination mission on Hoppet, and apart from Sword Saint Thorne, there were only two Low Rank Archmages.
The High Mage losses were the most disastrous, as they were wiped out. Most of those that remained were Great Mages.
They all gained a rank after drinking the potion and still clearly felt that they were improving.
That happiness couldn't be understood by those that didn't experience it themselves. To a mage, not making any progress for several years was even more unbearable than death.
Being able to progress was amazing.
Lin Yun knew that these guys' potential had been upgraded by at least a realm, and as time passed, after advancing to the next realm, their progress would slow down.
If the God Blood weren't so precious, and if Lin Yun had more of it, he wouldn't have been so stingy, only giving out three drops. He still needed enough for his mage subordinates.
But apart from that, many materials were also shared with the Flame Demon Fort so that they could create their own Magic Tools. After all, these materials were taken from the God Nation and were better than those from Noscent. They carried a wisp of the aura of the Wisdom Tree, and the results were outstanding. While forging Magic Tools, they would be half a rank better.
As he increased the power of the entire Merlin Family, Lin Yun would naturally not forget his fifty subordinates.
He couldn't help sighing when he saw his fifty subordinates.
They had originally been abandoned by the Merlin Family and had poor talent, destined to remain Mages all their lives. But now that they had absorbed mana with a God's aura and experienced the constant pressure, their innate talent completely changed.
They were all High Mages now. The weakest one was a 2nd Rank High Mage, while the strongest one was already at the 6th Rank.
The speed of their progress was shocking, and compared to the other clansmen in the Raging Flame Plane, these fifty guys were simply geniuses. Thorne was reluctant to send these fifty men to their deaths because he knew of their strength. There was no problem with having them hold the fort. They would grow stronger as time passed, and overall, it would make up for the losses of the Merlin Family.
Lin Yun could see that these fifty High Mages were well-coordinated, and when working together, they could even beat up Thorne, a 6th Rank Sword Saint.
Lin Yun ground his teeth. These fifty were his own followers. He used his hard-earned capital and took out materials he got from the God Nation, as well as fifty drops of God Blood, and refined a potion that would maximize the effect of the God Blood.
Their bodies originally carried the aura of a God, and the mana they had absorbed was already infected. As time passed, they might be able to condense God Blood on their own.
