142: Chapter 142 Reinforcements Arrive

Within a vast and boundless Level 7 territory.

Lord Gao Mu observed the battle erupting at the edge of his territory, his expression calm and unruffled.

Facing the invasion of a powerful enemy, his heroes and Troop Types had already engaged in battle. However, the opposing side held the advantage, forcing his army to retreat step by step and rely on the territory's defenses to hold their ground.

Lord Gao Mu still possessed a powerful army in his hands, but he had no intention of deploying them.

That army was prepared for Lin Xiao.

His own territory was only facing an ordinary level of invasion; even if his army's strength was inferior, they could still easily defend by relying on the powerful territory defenses.

But on Lin Xiao's side...

Lord Gao Mu's thoughts drifted far away.

Compared to the battle in his own territory, he was more concerned about the siege Lin Xiao was facing.

Suddenly.

[Human Race Lord Lin Xiao has sent you a request for reinforcement. Will you proceed?]

A System prompt sounded in Lord Gao Mu's ear.

"It has finally come."

Lord Gao Mu dared not delay. He did not immediately dispatch his army, but instead read the distress letter first.

A distress letter could be accompanied by some information.

Generally speaking, those seeking aid would clearly state the situation of their territory and the enemy's situation as much as possible, to give the rescuers a clear understanding.

"Good heavens, a siege by three hundred Sixth-order Lords?"

"Over five million invading troops, with no less than four hundred thousand Epic Grade."

Lord Gao Mu's eyes widened, almost doubting if his vision was blurred, or if Lin Xiao had slipped up and written the wrong numbers.

However, he quickly reacted.

The Four Great Races were not besieging Lin Xiao; they were clearly besieging him.

Dealing with one Lin Xiao did not require such a terrifying lineup; this was entirely aimed at him.

For a moment, Lord Gao Mu was also somewhat hesitant.

If top-tier Sixth-order Lords or Super-spec Sixth-order Lords were mixed into these five million troops, his army would also suffer heavy losses.

"That shouldn't be possible."

Lord Gao Mu shook his head slowly. If there really were Sixth-order Lords of that level, there would be no need to send so many troops.

He quickly made a decision to provide reinforcements.

"I don't know how that Lin Xiao has managed to hold on until now."

After making the decision, Lord Gao Mu snapped back to reality, an intense shock rising in his heart.

Since they had arranged him as the hypothetical enemy, he could more or less guess the Four Great Races' tactics.

To reduce losses, they would inevitably conduct attrition warfare first.

That Lin Xiao could hold on until the other side launched an all-out attack before asking him for reinforcements—Lord Gao Mu could not imagine how he had survived.

"Is this what a Super-spec Lord is?"

...

Meanwhile.

Lin Xiao's territory.

Andrew, Osmond, and other Sixth-order Lords had also gathered together.

The Sixth-order Lords arranged to come to the battlefield personally were not just the four commanders; they were not lucky enough to all appear in one direction.

Andrew was lucky enough to be with Osmond, both on the east side of Lin Xiao's territory, while Lie Yan of the Bull Demon Race and Rosalie of the Shadow Race appeared on the north and south sides, respectively.

The west side was commanded by other Sixth-order Lords who had entered.

Looking at the army of over one million gathered on the east side of the territory, Andrew and Osmond were both full of confidence.

"Haha, our guess was indeed correct. This Seventh-order army doesn't have much combat power left; it poses very little threat to us." Osmond was full of excitement.

Andrew was also in high spirits.

They had naturally seen those black streaks of light shooting down earlier.

Although that kind of attack was terrifying, it had not dealt them a devastating blow, which showed that the combat power of those Seventh-order troops was already nearly exhausted.

"So what if they are Seventh-order? Today I will slaughter..."

Before he could finish speaking, a System prompt suddenly sounded in both of their ears.

The smile on Andrew's face stiffened abruptly.

He looked at Osmond beside him in disbelief: "Did you hear the System prompt about reinforcements arriving?"

"You heard it too."

Osmond was somewhat stunned.

Reinforcements.

Lin Xiao's reinforcements had entered the field?

Then who was attacking them before? And who were the Level 5 Lords in front desperately exhausting?

The two looked at each other, both somewhat bewildered.

Who exactly were they fighting?

Not only Andrew and Osmond, but all the other invading Sixth-order Lords also received the System prompt and were momentarily plunged into confusion.

Andrew and Osmond were both puzzled.

In an invasion between Level 5 Lords, it was still too early to trigger a request for reinforcements.

An invasion by Sixth-order Lords would indeed trigger a request for reinforcements quickly.

The problem was, weren't Lin Xiao's reinforcements already in the territory? They were the ones who wiped out the previous wave of Sixth-order cannon fodder.

One round of reinforcements hadn't even finished; how could he bring in new ones?

Could it be that during the last wave of the invasion, Lin Xiao's reinforcements had actually been wiped out, and therefore, he could ask the outside world for help again?

However, even if Lin Xiao could ask for help again.

They had just entered and hadn't officially started the war yet; a request for reinforcements wouldn't be triggered so quickly, would it?

The two were completely baffled.

From beginning to end, they never thought that what they were fighting was Lin Xiao's own army, not reinforcements.

That was too unbelievable and violated common sense.

But now was not the time to consider these things.

New reinforcements meant a fresh army, and in all likelihood, it was a Seventh-order army.

If things went poorly, they, the invaders, would be completely wiped out.

When reinforcements enter the field, the invaders have one chance to forcibly recall their troops, provided they are not in a combat state.

"Let's withdraw first."

Andrew and Osmond looked at each other and understood each other's decision.

Withdrawing would inevitably lead to punishment from the higher-ups.

But if the entire army was wiped out, the punishment they would receive would not be small, not to mention that they, the Lords themselves, had also entered.

Regardless, they had entered Lin Xiao's territory.

They had gathered some intelligence.

They could barely provide an explanation.

Just as Andrew and the others were preparing to withdraw.

Streaks of black light shot down from the sky, not causing them much damage, but forcing them into a combat state.

"Not good."

...

The west side of Lin Xiao's territory.

A massive Human Race army suddenly appeared, and an incredibly powerful aura emanated from them.

"Form up."

The leading Human Race hero ordered indifferently.

The Human Race army instantly formed a formation, and a majestic phantom of a Human Race general appeared above the army.

Unlike the military formation phantoms of other Sixth-order armies, this Human Race general's phantom seemed to come alive. As it officially took shape, the auras of all heroes and Troop Types rapidly underwent Fusion.

Vast golden light enveloped everyone, merging with the phantom above. The phantom expanded rapidly, finally transforming into a terrifying figure wearing golden armor, holding a black halberd, and standing several hundred meters tall, appearing before everyone.
