242: Chapter 242 War with the Orc Alliance

The strength of hero units like Lin Feng and Lin Yin rose accordingly. Lin Yin took this opportunity to also step into the Divine-Grade Domain!

Imagine fifty million soldiers, at minimum high-tier Gold Rank, forming battle formations and launching a charge under the leadership of several Divine-Grade and Saint-Grade heroes...

What kind of world-shattering sight would that be?

Even the combined might of the former Minotaur Kingdom would likely find it difficult to withstand such a steel torrent head-on!

"As expected, risk and opportunity coexist... This forced mission is a death sentence for others, but for me, Lin Tian, it's practically a heaven-sent acceleration gift pack!"

Lin Tian was full of pride as he gazed at the distant world, still vaguely shrouded in gray Aura, his eyes burning with even greater ambition.

"Continue the cleanup! Expand the business! Strength, I want even greater strength. Resources, I want even more resources!"

The days passed quickly as he frantically accepted orders and swept through contaminated spaces.

Lin Tian and Lin Yin split their forces into two routes, almost transforming into human-shaped walking purifiers. They snatched monsters everywhere in District 88, their strength and experience snowballing rapidly.

One day, in a newly discovered large-scale contaminated space, Lin Tian and Lin Feng were leading their troops in a fierce battle against a group of troublesome Phantom Monsters capable of releasing mental contamination.

At the end of the battle, upon clearing the core source of contamination, three warm tokens were rewarded amidst a burst of dazzling golden light. They were more heros tokens!

"Heh, not bad luck!"

Lin Tian picked up the tokens, blew off the non-existent dust, and grinned.

Without much hesitation, he directly gave the three tokens to Lin Feng, who was fighting bloodily by his side, and to Lin Yan and Lin Kong, who were finishing up on another battlefield and were informed via long-range communication.

Becoming a hero unit meant higher autonomy and stronger growth potential; it was the greatest recognition of their ability and loyalty.

With four hero units—Lin Yin, Lin Feng, Lin Yan, and Lin Kong—the expansion speed of Lin Tian's "decontamination business" soared once again.

The four armies advanced together. Over the next nearly ten days, they were like four prairie fires, sweeping through the known contaminated spaces of District 88 with even higher efficiency.

The frantic slaughter brought about a frantic climb in strength.

As the sun set on the tenth day, Lin Tian slowly opened his eyes in a recently purified valley, feeling the vast energy within him that seemed capable of moving the power of heaven and earth.

9-Star Divine-Grade!

He and Lin Yin had stepped into this supreme Realm, unimaginable to mundane beings, almost simultaneously!

With every movement, Law followed faintly, the nascent form of having one's words become Law.

The scale of his army had also expanded to one hundred million during these successive campaigns!

Moreover, thanks to being fed massive amounts of experience cards and frequent high-intensity combat, the minimum Rank was stable at Gold, while the main forces generally reached the Peak of Platinum or even diamond rank. They could be called a monster legion composed of "elite mobs."

While Lin Tian and Lin Yin were tied down in an ultra-large contaminated space, his other large army sent to the Southern Border to pioneer and suppress the Orc Alliance, led by Lin Yan and Commander Lin Yu, finally collided violently with the main corps of the Orc Alliance on the endless "Azure Wolf Plains"!

This was a straightforward, no-frills head-on collision between two behemoths!

On one side were the nearly one hundred million elites under Lin Tian, well-equipped and highly disciplined, with a minimum of Gold Rank and generally Platinum or diamond rank.

On the other side was the sixty-million-strong allied force urgently assembled by the Orc Alliance, essentially their entire strength!

Wolf Cavalry covered the mountains and plains, Bearman heavy infantry were like moving mountains, Snakeman Archers were hidden in the formations, Leopardman Scouts roamed the flanks, and harpies shrieked in the sky...

A multitude of races, savage and fierce, filled with a primitive and violent Aura.

Their supreme commander was a Leonine Overseer over five meters tall, clad in ancient totem armor and wielding a giant warhammer, with strength reaching 8-Star Divine-Grade!

Under his command were several lower to mid-tier Divine-Grade chieftains, shamans, and war leaders of various tribes.

In terms of top-tier combat power, the Orcs had an 8-Star Divine-Grade, while the strongest on the human side—Lin Yan, Commander Lin Yu, and Lin Kong—were at most 6-Star Divine-Grade.

No matter how one looked at it, this was a duel with a huge disparity in strength.

"For the glory of the tribe! Crush these human insects who have intruded into our Holy Land!"

The Leonine Overseer pointed his warhammer at the sky and let out a roar that shook the plains.

"For the Lord! Lin Tian, total victory!" Lin Yan gave a delicate shout, and the Flaming Divine Staff in her hand erupted with a pillar of fire that reached the sky, showing no sign of weakness.

No probing, no nonsense.

The two torrents of steel and flesh, like two stars colliding head-on, crashed violently on the Azure Wolf Plains!

In an instant, the sounds of shouting, clashing weapons, magical explosions, and death wails...

Merged into a war symphony of ultimate bloodiness and cruelty, echoing through the clouds and making the earth tremble.

From the very beginning, the battle entered a most tragic white-hot stage.

Lin Kong used the power of space to constantly redeploy troops, creating local advantages and cutting through the Orc army's formations.

Commander Lin Yu pushed the Law of Life to its limit, and wide-range healing divine Spells fell like sweet rain, stubbornly holding out against the curses and poison mists of the Orc shamans.

Lin Yan transformed into a goddess of fire, leading the Blazing Fire Mage units to cover the battlefield with Holy Flames that incinerated everything, focusing on striking the Orcs' ranged and spellcasting units.

But there were simply too many Orcs!

Moreover, their individual combat power was fierce, especially those high-Rank Orc warriors who were thick-skinned and incredibly strong, putting immense pressure on the human defensive line.

That 8-Star Divine-Grade Leonine Overseer was even more terrifying; every swing of his warhammer cleared a large area, and even Lin Yan's Holy Flames were forcibly dispersed by his violent energy.

The bloody battle lasted for nearly a day!

The soil of the Azure Wolf Plains was soaked with blood, turning into a dark red swamp.

Carcasses were piled like mountains, and broken weapons and shattered banners could be seen everywhere. The sky was dyed a bizarre color by smoke and magical light, almost obscuring the sun and moon.

Lin Yan, Commander Lin Yu, and Lin Kong were all heavily injured, and Commander Lin Yu's healing power was on the verge of exhaustion several times.

The army under their command suffered even heavier casualties; the number of soldiers still able to fight was less than fifty million, a reduction of nearly half!

The Orc allied forces had also paid a heavy price, with over forty million of their sixty-million-strong army being ground away. However, the remaining Orcs were still frantic, and although the Leonine Overseer was covered in wounds, his Aura became increasingly violent.

However, just as the Orc allied forces saw the dawn of victory and the Leonine Overseer prepared to launch the final wave of general offensive to completely crush this stubborn human army...

"Buzz!"

Lin Tian's true body, through a permanent teleportation gate, suddenly appeared on the flank of the battlefield like a god from the heavens, leading five million of his most elite, Killing Intent-filled troops who had just completed a high-intensity purification!

Appearing with him was Lin Yin, whose strength had also reached 9-Star Divine-Grade, cold as the moon, yet radiating an Aura that could freeze the Soul!
