109: Chapter 109 Going into Battle

In another territory, Lin Zhenyue and Human Lord stared at the message displayed before them, momentarily stunned.

"Did our son make a typo?" Human Lord nudged her husband, speaking with some uncertainty.

"I think so."

Lin Zhenyue opened his mouth to speak.

"Come to think of it, is it even possible to ask for reinforcements from a lord of a lower rank?" Human Lord asked, looking puzzled.

Uh, this.

Lin Zhenyue's eyes were also filled with confusion.

It must be said that this truly touched upon their blind spot of knowledge. Asking for reinforcements from a lower-ranked lord was something they hadn't even heard of, let alone experienced.

A difference of one rank meant a world of difference in strength.

It had always been a case of asking for help from higher-ranked lords; how could it be the other way around?

However, upon closer thought, in the rules regarding reinforcements, it seemed there really wasn't a clause stating one couldn't ask for help from a lower-ranked lord...

"Theoretically, it actually seems possible?"

"What are you thinking? Absolutely not."

Two fifth-rank lords asking a fourth-rank lord for reinforcements?

Wouldn't that be turning the world upside down?

Although Lin Zhenyue and Human Lord knew that Lin Xiao was a so-called Super-spec Lord and had even routed countless lords of the Four Great Races in the First Source Sea, given their limited horizons, they clearly didn't have an accurate understanding of an Super-spec Lord.

Furthermore, no matter how strong an Super-spec Lord was, that was within the same rank.

Fighting a fifth-rank from the fourth rank meant crossing an entire major rank.

Not to mention, Lin Xiao had just promoted to the fourth rank and should still be in a weakened period. His heroes and Troop Types were likely still at the third-rank level.

Compared to fifth-rank enemies, the difference in attributes was dozens, or even nearly a hundred times greater. Such a massive attribute gap would require at least a two-grade difference in quality to compensate.

Lin Xiao had just arrived in the Second Source Sea; it was impossible for him to already have legendary-grade heroes and Troop Types...

Therefore, in their view, it was highly probable that it was a typo.

Just as Lin Zhenyue and Human Lord were thinking this, Lin Xiao's message was sent over once again. The two looked closely, and it was still the four words: "Ask me for help."

They looked at each other in dismay.

A typo once was possible, but twice was unrealistic.

"Son, are you serious?"

...

"Could this be fake? Haha, I will let you witness what an Super-spec Lord is."

After sending this message, a smile appeared on Lin Xiao's face.

No matter how much was said, it wouldn't be as shocking as witnessing it firsthand. Letting his parents see his strength would mean they wouldn't worry about him too much in the future, saving quite a bit of trouble.

Secondly, this was also the best time to intervene.

Lin Xiao knew very well that given the Four Great Races' hatred for him, they would certainly find a way to invade soon. He did not know what kind of offensive intensity the opponent would have.

At that time, he might not have the spare capacity to rescue his parents, so it was better to act sooner.

After all, he had just entered the Second Source Sea; no matter how capable the Four Great Races were, it was impossible for them to find his doorstep so quickly.

Under Lin Xiao's persuasion and guarantees, Lin Zhenyue and Human Lord finally agreed, albeit skeptically.

It was mainly because of Lin Xiao's past battle records.

Furthermore, the people from the Lord Association who were in contact with them also praised Lin Xiao to the skies. Otherwise, no matter how much Lin Xiao talked, they would not have let him take the risk.

After convincing the two, Lin Xiao immediately began to assemble his army for battle.

The enemy was, after all, a fifth-rank lord; even if they were just an ordinary lord, they could not be underestimated too much.

According to the intelligence provided by Lin Zhenyue, the invading Human Race army totaled over ten thousand. After a series of battles, they had lost some manpower, but there were still about ten thousand left.

Commanding this Human Race army were two perfect-grade heroes, at the fifth rank. Among the Troop Types, about one-third were perfect-grade, meaning three thousand were fifth-rank, and the rest were all rare grade, fourth-rank.

rare grade could only be promoted to the fourth rank at most.

"Three thousand fifth-rank perfect-grade Troop Types; there is indeed pressure."

Lin Xiao's expression was somewhat solemn.

Just these three thousand fifth-rank perfect-grade Troop Types were stronger than the two hundred thousand troops he faced in Kimura Shun's territory.

After all, third-rank and fifth-rank had a hundredfold attribute difference.

Even if Epic Grade quality was higher and skills were stronger, it couldn't make up for such a terrifying gap in raw strength. Not to mention that in that two hundred thousand army, Epic Grade only accounted for one-twentieth; if it weren't for the large number of heroes, the gap would have been even greater.

"However, it's not impossible to fight."

Lin Xiao quickly weighed the options in his mind. The troops in his territory, except for the ones just summoned, were all fourth-rank. They were only off by one rank.

With the strength gap between perfect-grade and Epic Grade, it could completely make up for the attribute gap, making Lin Xiao's strongest batch of Troop Types not weaker than the opponent's. Of course, other Troop Types whose attributes hadn't reached one hundred thousand would certainly be inferior to the opponent.

However, Epic Grade usually possessed burst skills. Once they went all out, their strength could skyrocket by three to five times. In this way, even the weaker fourth-rank Troop Types would not be worse than the opponent's fifth-rank Troop Types. The strongest fourth-rank Troop Types were far superior to the opposite side.

Fourth-rank fighting fifth-rank, the advantage is with me. It's doable.

Lin Xiao assembled the battle army with the fastest speed.

Third-rank heroes and Troop Types were all left behind to guard. Among the Burning Sky Flame Dragon, Frost Giant, and Wind Shadow Archer, all fourth-rank ones went to battle. He brought 70 Black Armor Soldiers and 50 Dragon Cavalry, totaling 240 people.

Fourth-rank heroes Jiang Yao and Tu Lie went to battle. Zhong Yue and Qian Ying were responsible for guarding the territory.

"That's enough."

Lin Xiao nodded; the remaining forces were sufficient.

Even if some accident occurred and they were invaded by external enemies, with the territory's current defenses, they could ensure a certain degree of safety. Over time, those third-rank heroes and Troop Types would grow up. As long as Lin Xiao didn't leave for too long, there was no need to worry about the safety of the territory.

[Human Race lord, Human Lord, has sent you a request for reinforcements. Do you wish to proceed?]

"Yes."

Lin Xiao led his army and entered the space-time channel.

...

Just as Lin Xiao entered his parents' territory, that invading Sin Clan Lord also simultaneously received a System prompt.

In a territory, Fujita Takuya suddenly sprang up from his bed, his face showing a mix of uncertainty and agitation.

"Called for reinforcements?"

With the reinforcements entering, he, the invader, would naturally receive a notification as well. Having no mood to pay attention to anything else, Fujita Takuya called out the Lord Core at the fastest speed.

As his mind moved, a light screen was immediately projected from the Lord Core. On the light screen, it displayed the situation of the invasion battle.

In the First Source Sea, once one's own army left the territory, as long as the lord did not accompany them, then whether it was invading others or going to rescue, the connection would be severed, unless they were summoned back, or the battle was settled, only then could the result be known.

But in the Second Source Sea, lords could obtain some important information through the Lord Core.

Of course, it was unrealistic to be like being there in person, but the casualties of one's own army and the degree of destruction to the target territory could still be known.
