158: Chapter 158 Before the Great Battle

Having already recruited 27 legendary grade Troop Types, among the remaining slots, Lin Xiao prepared to recruit 13 legendary grade Black Armor Soldiers, 13 Wind Shadow Archers, and 2 Dragon Cavalry.

As a result, the number of legendary grade Black Armor Soldiers and Wind Shadow Archers would both become 23.

They could form 23 Formation units.

With them as the core, they could form a large Formation of 230 people, or they could disperse to form two hundred-person small Formations to fight independently.

The reason for recruiting 3 extra legendary grade Troop Types was also very simple: to prevent combat losses from causing the Formation to collapse.

With the Formation units composed of these 3 legendary grade Troop Types ready to fill positions at any time, even if someone died in battle, they could be replenished in time to maintain the operation of the Formation.

Recruiting those 2 legendary grade Dragon Cavalry was also for the same reason.

Lin Xiao calculated that after completing this round of recruitment, his territory would no longer be able to recruit more legendary grade Troop Types, so he decisively used 5 Epic Grade directional recruitment items to recruit 5 Burning Sky Flame Dragons.

Added together, there would be a total of 60 legendary grade Troop Types and 1400 Epic Grade Troop Types, which at that time could directly max out the population of the Level 5 territory.

These 1460 Troop Types were respectively: 105 Burning Sky Flame Dragons, 150 Frost Giants, 372 Wind Shadow Archers, 422 Black Armor Soldiers, and 411 Dragon Cavalry.

"That's it."

Lin Xiao no longer hesitated; what he needed to do next was to earn resources and recruit all the remaining legendary grade Troop Types.

He began to attack frantically, invading hostile Level 5 Lords one by one.

Converting the plundered resources into the Materials he needed to recruit Troop Types.

Fortunately, the Advanced Materials needed to recruit legendary grade Troop Types were not as scarce as legendary grade troop talismans and barracks blueprints; at most, the prices were very expensive. Otherwise, even with a legendary grade barracks, it wouldn't be so easy to recruit Troop Types.

As for Materials, there were many sources of acquisition.

Not only opening regional treasure chests and War Chests, but lords following the logistics route could also produce them themselves.

Transforming the territory into an environment suitable for producing certain resources would allow a continuous stream of gestation and harvesting.

It was now the year 5084 of the Lord's Calendar, and industries in all aspects were already very mature.

Therefore, various Advanced Materials were not scarce on the market, and their prices were relatively stable.

It was said that in the Chaos Source Sea, there were also treasured lands that nurtured countless Heaven And Earth Treasures and Advanced Materials, but specific items were required to go there.

Lin Xiao couldn't be bothered to care about so much.

Since it could be bought on the market, he would just buy it directly.

Even for Advanced Materials that were hard to find on the Human Race market, transactions could be made with other neutral alien races through commercial lords.

Until all legendary grade Troop Types were recruited.

Lin Xiao suddenly fell silent, beginning to prepare for that bound-to-happen great battle.

...

"Lin Xiao, President Gu asked me to tell you that next, the Four Great Races might have a major move, and it is very likely targeting you. You must be careful."

"Although the top-tier lords and Super-spec Lords of the Four Great Races among the Sixth-order Lords have been closely watched, the power of the Four Great Races in the Second Source Sea exceeds ours, so it's hard to guarantee that accidents won't happen."

Looking at the message sent by Hu Wei, Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat.

The Human Race and the Four Great Races were old rivals.

It was impossible not to have sensed the opponent's major move at all.

"I know."

Sending a message back, Lin Xiao closed the dialog box.

"Is it coming?"

His gaze was somewhat profound.

Three months had passed since the last encirclement battle. Of course, placed in the outside world, only a dozen days had passed.

The Four Great Races prepared the second attack so quickly, showing their high regard for Lin Xiao.

"Although it came a bit fast, the current me is not without the strength for a battle."

Lin Xiao's gaze slowly swept across his territory.

The three major Advanced Military Formation Techniques had entered the elementary stage, and all Troop Types participating in the Formation could skillfully take part in it without any omissions.

Although it was still very far from the Minor Achievement of the Formation, it could still triple the strength of the 580 Troop Types forming the array.

This was undoubtedly an incomparably powerful force.

Of course, more importantly, were the attributes of the heroes and Troop Types.

Jiang Yao, who had the fastest Cultivation speed, now had attributes as high as seventy million.

This included ten million attributes from the Hunyuan Saint Body. In other words, Jiang Yao relied on Cultivation to raise her attributes to sixty times the Level 5 limit.

Such a strength enhancement was shocking.

SS-grade talent was only twenty times.

Lin Xiao estimated that even an SSS-grade talent would find it hard to have such an enhancement magnitude.

In fact, when Jiang Yao cultivated to fifty times her attributes, she felt an incomparably huge resistance.

Fifty times attributes was undoubtedly a certain boundary.

The further back it went, the more difficult it became.

She could continue to grow, but the time required became more and more. Being able to upgrade to sixty times attributes was already the result of her peerless Aptitude.

Other Human Race heroes, even with S-grade Outstanding Talent, found it difficult to compare with Jiang Yao.

Now they were all stuck at fifty times attributes. Wanting to continue to Breakthrough was not something that could be done in three months.

However, counting the bonus of the Hunyuan Saint Body, they also had sixty million attributes.

Ares's growth speed could not compare to several Human Race heroes. Of course, the further back, the slower it got, so he wasn't pulled too far apart. His attributes also reached fifty million.

With his Bloodline and skill strength, even if he was short by ten million attributes, his strength would not be weaker than other Human Race heroes.

Among the Troop Types, those with the highest attributes were naturally the Human Race Troop Types.

Xue Ying, Wang Wu, and others, under the bonus of the Hunyuan Saint Body, all had fifty million attributes.

Other Human Race Troop Types had at least forty million attributes.

Even for the legendary grade Troop Types recruited last, their Cultivation time was not long, but they were all legendary grade, and their Cultivation Aptitude and Comprehension Ability far exceeded Epic Grade, thus catching up with the main force.

The attributes of the alien Troop Types were a notch lower, with only the two legendary grade ones, Thales and Gunn, having over forty million attributes.

The other Burning Sky Flame Dragons and Frost Giants basically had over thirty million attributes.

The worst were the five Burning Sky Flame Dragons recruited last, with attributes of only over twenty million.

Such attributes, placed among Level 5 Lords, were undoubtedly a dimensional reduction strike.

Even for Sixth-order Lords, it was enough to make them look sideways.

After all, the limit attributes of Sixth-order heroes and Troop Types were only ten million.

Unless there were corresponding world wonders and talents, the attributes could not break through this limit.

"If you want to fight, then let's fight."

Lin Xiao said coldly.

He wasn't too worried.

Among the Sixth-order Lords of the Four Great Races, there were indeed top-tier lords and Super-spec Lords, and the Bull Demon Race and Shadow Race even had First-Generation Lords.

But no matter which kind, the most apex batch was definitely among the Seventh-order Lords.
