126: Chapter 126 The First Legendary Hero

Forty Lords and an army of over two hundred thousand—they want to take me down with just that?

Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow, sensing something was wrong.

You have to understand, they are attacking a Super-spec Lord. Even if Lin Xiao leveled up too quickly and had the flaw of a weak Foundation, and his strength wasn't much to speak of, he still had the protection of Human Race powerhouses.

Can they look down on Lin Xiao, but also look down on Human Race powerhouses?

Never mind forty Lords; even if they sent hundreds or even thousands of Lords to launch a frantic, coordinated attack, it would be perfectly normal.

Lin Xiao didn't believe that the commanders of the Four Great Races would be arrogant or underestimate him to such a degree.

Not only was the number of troops deployed small, but more strangely, the actions of these two hundred thousand troops after entering Lin Xiao's territory were quite bizarre. After sending out flying Troop Types to scout the layout of Lin Xiao's territory, they charged straight toward the heartland.

They had absolutely no intention of gathering all their armies to attack together.

Even when two armies encountered each other on the way, they didn't merge their forces and continued to fight separately.

This was highly abnormal.

United they are strong, divided they are weak; these seasoned heroes and Troop Types could not possibly fail to understand such a simple principle. Therefore, it was most likely under the instruction of the Lords they belonged to.

"So that's it."

"They are afraid of the dao protector army within my territory."

Lin Xiao quickly realized the crux of the matter.

Actually, the reason wasn't hard to guess. By putting himself in the perspective of the enemy commanders and combining it with the bizarre behavior of the invading troops, it became crystal clear.

It wasn't that they looked down on him; it was that they were too afraid.

At this moment, there was no dao protector army in Lin Xiao's territory at all.

But the commanders of the Four Great Races could not possibly know this.

In their eyes, Lin Xiao's territory was a massive black box shrouded in fog; they knew nothing about the situation inside.

Therefore, they had no choice but to overestimate the enemy.

They formulated their attack strategy based on the premise that there were seventh-order troops in Lin Xiao's territory.

The reason they only sent forty Lords and the two hundred thousand troops that entered didn't converge was because they didn't want to be wiped out in one wave by a seventh-order powerhouse.

The best way to deal with a powerhouse whose strength far exceeds one's own is to wear them down with a continuous stream of attacks.

No matter how strong a seventh-order powerhouse is, they must expend some effort to wipe out a fifth-order army, right?

It was conceivable that more armies would inevitably be sent in as cannon fodder later.

"So these guys are just cannon fodder."

Lin Xiao glanced at the rapidly advancing armies, but there was no pity in his eyes.

"This is fine too."

In such a situation, Lin Xiao was naturally happy to see it happen.

The enemies didn't swarm him all at once, so his pressure wouldn't be too great. He figured that holding out until the first month's ranking settlement wouldn't be difficult, and he could also farm a wave of slaughter points.

Lin Xiao was also not afraid of a Sixth-order Lord entering the field.

A Sixth-order Lord was one rank higher than him, but as long as he could hold them off for a moment, he could call for help from Lord Gao Mu.

Seeing that the invading armies within his field of vision had already crossed half of the barren territory, Lin Xiao did not hesitate any longer and immediately dispatched troops in four directions to meet the enemy.

Tu Lie led his troops to the east side of the territory, Zhong Yue led his troops to the north side, and even Qian Ying, an assassin not skilled in large-scale troop warfare, was sent to the west side.

The armies they led were not a single Troop Type, but a mix of the five major Troop Types.

Black Armor Soldiers took the damage, Wind Shadow Archers and Frost Giants provided ranged output, Dragon Cavalry were responsible for charging into the fray, and Burning Sky Flame Dragons were responsible for dealing with flying Troop Types.

As long as it was just for territorial defense, the issue of Troop Type synergy wasn't a major problem.

The south side of the territory remained, lacking a hero to lead it.

Jiang Yao and Ares's transformation had not yet ended.

Lin Xiao didn't plan to go himself; he still needed to hold the central area. After all, Tu Lie and the others' armies couldn't possibly intercept all the invading forces.

He did not hesitate any longer and his gaze fell upon that legendary grade Hero Token.

The enemy was coming fiercely, and there would be more battles ahead. He needed a sufficiently powerful hero to turn the tide.

He would have to wait until his territory reached level 6 to recruit a Giant Clan hero.

As Lin Xiao chose to use it.

A phantom river slowly emerged, filled with countless magnificent fragments of time.

In a hazy glimpse, Lin Xiao seemed to see a towering figure battling on the Primordial Continent, shooting down countless terrifying exotic beasts and powerful enemies, finally transforming into a peerless streak of light that pierced the sun.

A faint, terrifying arrow light seemed to cross the river of time and descend upon Lin Xiao's territory.

The sky was torn apart, and the earth was shattered.

"Boom~"

Seemingly sensing a great threat, the two blood cocoons that were still undergoing transformation suddenly erupted with a terrifying aura, forming a standoff with this arrow light.

Fortunately, this phenomenon was fleeting, and a tall figure over three meters high stepped out from the phantom river.

The other party was wearing animal skins and holding a longbow made of ancient wood.

Lin Xiao could feel the terrifying power contained within the other party that seemed capable of destroying everything. The ancient wooden longbow was mottled with countless marks, as if stained with the blood of countless terrifying creatures, and the entire bow was covered in charred marks, as if it had been scorched by high temperatures.

"Guan Ri, greets Lord."

The new hero bowed deeply to Lin Xiao.

"Guan Ri, welcome to my territory."

The image he saw last flashed through Lin Xiao's mind, and a hint of surprise could not help but appear on his face.

This hero was strong, very strong.

He immediately opened Guan Ri's attribute panel.

[Guan Ri]

[Quality: legendary grade]

[Rank: Fifth-order]

[Physique: 990,000]

[Spirit: 980,000]

[Cultivation Technique: Primordial Giant Spirit Divine Art (SS Grade)]

[Skills: Arrow of No Distance (SS Grade), Primordial True Body (SS Grade), Reincarnation of the Arrow God (SS Grade), Annihilation Streamer (SS Grade), Arrow of Falling Sun (SS Grade), Ancient War Soul (SS Grade)]

"Hiss."

Lin Xiao couldn't help but gasp.

A legendary grade hero was Fifth-order immediately upon being summoned, and Guan Ri's attributes were just one step away from being maxed out.

The skills were even more incomparably powerful.

The two passives, Primordial True Body and Reincarnation of the Arrow God, gave him incomparably powerful strength and talent. Arrow of No Distance allowed him to ignore distance and attack enemies directly.

Facing groups of enemies, he had a mowing-down god-tier skill like Annihilation Streamer, and against powerful enemies, he had a major killing move like Arrow of Falling Sun.

Once the burst skill Ancient War Soul was activated, his strength would skyrocket crazily, and the burst magnitude was much higher than the burst skill multiplier of an Epic Hero.

"As expected of a legendary grade hero."

Lin Xiao sighed in his heart.

Guan Ri hadn't even made a move yet, and he could already feel the other party's extraordinary strength.

Without a doubt, the heaven-chosen commander for the Wind Shadow Archers had appeared.

Jiang Yao wasn't exactly a perfect fit for the Wind Shadow Archers; by comparison, Guan Ri was undoubtedly more suitable to command the Wind Shadow Archers.

Lin Xiao didn't think that Guan Ri and Jiang Yao's roles overlapped.

Although Jiang Yao was skilled in archery, she was actually better at spear techniques. Compared to shooting arrows from the back, breaking through formations and killing enemies was her forte.

"My Lord, would you like me to take action and wipe out these invading enemies?"

At this moment, Guan Ri suddenly spoke. His gaze swept across the surroundings, seemingly seeing the armies charging in from all directions.

His expression was calm; the two hundred thousand strong army was, in his eyes, like nothing more than a rabble.
