125: Chapter 125 The Attack Arrives

dao protector.

Hearing this, Osmond and the others felt a chill in their hearts.

The Second Source Sea is not the First Source Sea.

Here, the Human Race is merely at a disadvantage, not completely suppressed, and Lin Xiao is not without support.

There is no need to doubt that the Human Race must have arranged a sufficiently powerful dao protector for him.

"Lin Xiao is currently a Rank 5 territory; his dao protector could even be a Seventh-order Lord at the highest." Shadow Race Lord Rosalie's expression changed drastically.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it is highly likely to be a Seventh-order dao protector."

Andrew said in a deep voice.

Seventh-order Lord!

Everyone's expression became exceptionally ugly.

Seventh-order is the highest Rank in the Second Source Sea. Unlike them, these Sixth-order Lords, there are no ordinary lords among Seventh-order Lords; the worst among them are veteran lords.

This is also very normal.

The upper limit of perfect-grade is Sixth-order. Even if an ordinary lord raises their territory to Rank 7, what is the point?

The strength of heroes and Troop Type cannot be improved, and the level of buildings cannot be raised.

Compared to when they were Sixth-order, there is no difference in strength.

Such a Seventh-order Lord is just a big fraud; they cannot establish a foothold at that level at all and will soon be wiped out by other Seventh-order Lords.

Lords who can truly gain a foothold at the Seventh-order level must possess Epic Grade heroes and Troop Type, as well as Epic Grade buildings, which is what is known as a veteran lord.

Andrew, Osmond, and the others are merely Sixth-order veteran lords.

There is an insurmountable gap in strength between them and Seventh-order Lords. If they invaded Lin Xiao's territory and encountered a Seventh-order Lord's army, they would likely be killed completely in the blink of an eye.

"We cannot act recklessly; we must arrange our tactics based on the worst-case scenario," Osmond said sternly.

The so-called worst-case scenario is assuming that the dao protector within Lin Xiao's territory is a Seventh-order Lord.

The others nodded one after another.

They certainly didn't want to throw their lives away.

Everyone firmly believed that at this moment, an army of a dao protector already existed within Lin Xiao's territory.

After all, this is the only logical conclusion.

They would never imagine that Lin Xiao chose the conventional rescue protection method.

The Four Great Races have very rich combat experience; even the Bull Demon Race and Shadow Race have experience in besieging super-strong individuals many times.

The army of a Seventh-order Lord is indeed invincible.

But their numbers are limited.

No matter how powerful the heroes and Troop Type are, they can be piled to death by sheer numbers of lives.

"First, it is a piecemeal attack. Every period of time, send a batch of troops to continuously strengthen the force. When the timing is right, launch a full-scale invasion," Osmond said coldly.

The troops attacking in the front are all cannon fodder.

They are used to consume the strength of the Seventh-order Lord's army.

The reason why they aren't swarming in from the beginning is to avoid being wiped out in one go by the opponent; after all, an opponent of this level will certainly not lack means for large-scale clearing.

Doing this will inevitably result in the sacrifice of countless heroes and Troop Type, causing heavy losses to a large number of lords.

The few of them, however, did not care at all.

As long as they can kill one Super-spec Lord protected by a Seventh-order Lord, these sacrifices are worth it.

"Secondly, and most importantly, contain the Human Race lords. Otherwise, if they interfere, the situation will become exceptionally complicated."

As soon as these words were spoken, Andrew and the others looked at each other.

This is also what they were most worried about.

A piecemeal attack destined that this war would not end quickly.

Both sides have been at war for so many years; if the Human Race were dull enough not to have even the slightest awareness, they would likely have been exterminated long ago.

As time goes on, they will inevitably take action.

Lin Xiao can indeed only ask one lord for help, but other Human Race lords can completely force their way in by invading and participate in this siege.

Pulling one hair moves the whole body.

At that time, perhaps the Five Great Races of the Second Source Sea will all break out into successive wars.

"That kind of situation is not something we can control."

Andrew said helplessly.

How could they have such great power?

When it reaches that stage, the situation will be completely out of their control, and they can only let higher-level existences take over.

"Sigh, if we could invite a Sixth-order top-tier lord or Super-spec Lord to take action, even if Lin Xiao has a Seventh-order dao protector, what does it matter?" Shadow Race Lord Rosalie sighed.

"How is that possible?"

Andrew laughed dumbly.

What kind of existences are Sixth-order top-tier lords and Super-spec Lords? As long as they don't fall midway, they will inevitably be the high-level members of their respective races in the future.

Even high-level members like Isaac would give them Face.

Their status is far from what they can compare to.

Now that the situation is unclear, the early probing and filling of lines will never fall to them.

After all, no one knows who the Seventh-order dao protector inside Lin Xiao's territory is, or whether it might be a trap laid by the Human Race.

If it were just a Seventh-order veteran lord, that would be fine, but if a Seventh-order top-tier lord or Super-spec Lord is sitting in command, whoever goes will be on a dead-end path.

Given how precious they are, the higher-ups will not let them risk themselves.

"Alright, everyone, prepare to take action."

Osmond said indifferently.

"Report the intelligence, and wait ten minutes before starting the first wave of attacks."

"For the first wave of troops, let each race arrange ten Level 5 Lords."

"Good."

"Can do."

Andrew and the others nodded one after another.

[Your territory is being invaded.]

[Your territory is being invaded.]

[Your territory is being invaded.]

System notifications rang out frantically, waking Lin Xiao up.

"Forty System notifications."

"My territory coordinates have been exposed."

Lin Xiao felt a chill in his heart. Being attacked by so many lords simultaneously at once, there was only one possibility: his territory coordinates had already been exposed.

"They came so fast."

Although Lin Xiao was very clear that his territory coordinates would be exposed sooner or later, he did not expect it to be so fast.

Not long after he just upgraded to a Rank 5 territory, the enemy's attack came.

"Eye of Truth, activate."

Lin Xiao's thoughts stirred, and he immediately activated the Eye of Truth.

At the top of the seven-hundred-meter tower, a huge silver-white vertical pupil slowly opened, and invisible fluctuations instantly swept across the entire territory.

Lin Xiao felt as if he had transformed into the Eye of Heaven, taking everything within the territory into his view.

He saw that at the edges of the four directions of the territory, a large number of troops had appeared.

Human Race troops, Purgatory Race troops, Bull Demon Race troops, Shadow Race troops...

The Four Great Races all sent manpower to attack Lin Xiao's territory together.

Each army had at least several thousand people; adding up the forty lords, the army invading Lin Xiao at this moment numbered over two hundred thousand.

"These Troop Type are likely all Fifth-order."

The Eye of Truth could not display the strength of these heroes and Troop Type, but Lin Xiao had his own judgment and experience.

Over two hundred thousand Fifth-order troops—such a terrifying force had undoubtedly far exceeded the invasion battle that Lin Xiao's parents encountered, enough to easily flatten the territory of most Level 5 Lords.

However, there was no fear on Lin Xiao's Face.

"Not right, why did only forty lords' armies come?"

After waiting for a while, he did not hear any more invasion notifications, and a look of surprise could not help but appear on Lin Xiao's Face.
