162: Chapter 162 arrives, a head-on blow.

"Griffin, even you have come."

Not only Arakawa Ryo, but everyone's hearts trembled violently upon seeing that Purgatory Race lord. Even though it was merely a phantom, it made the others stand up simultaneously to welcome the opponent.

Purgatory Race lord Griffin, this was a Super-spec Lord.

The upper and lower limits of top-tier lords varied drastically.

Arakawa Ryo, who possessed a legendary grade Troop Type, was a top-tier lord; having a Legendary Hero was also a top-tier lord. Someone like Doyle, who had a world wonder, a Legendary Hero, and Troop Type, and whose strength far exceeded others, was still a top-tier lord.

But a Super-spec Lord was not like that.

Their requirements were extremely high.

Wanting to become a Super-spec Lord was not something achieved just by talking, but required having super-spec level combat power in your hands.

Take the Sixth-order for example.

The Human Race's Legendary Hero and Troop Type were considered a commonly used benchmark.

With their attributes reaching the limit of their current tier and equipped with Epic Grade equipment, based on the strength of their full-out burst, only when the combat power exceeded the former by more than ten times could they be considered a super-spec level unit.

Of course, heroes were compared with heroes, and Troop Types with Troop Types.

Some top-tier races, such as the Dragon Clan, had heroes and Troop Types whose strength was much stronger than those of the Human Race.

But no matter how strong they were, it wouldn't exceed ten times stronger.

Whether it was a world wonder or a Military Formation Technique, as long as the final bonus reached over ten times, it was super-spec combat power.

Doyle could be considered the closest to the super-spec level among the top-tier lords present.

The world wonder, combined with the Military Formation Technique, gave his legendary grade Troop Type nine times the combat power, yet that was still a hair's breadth away from being super-spec.

Griffin, however, was a true Super-spec Lord.

A legendary grade hero unit under his command, for reasons unknown—whether due to some mutation or evolution—had forcefully broken through its limits and reached ten times combat power, which also made Griffin a Super-spec Lord.

"Griffin is a Sixth-order Lord, and he has a super-spec level hero under his command. For Lin Xiao, this is equivalent to an enemy with a hundred times the combat power. What can he use to block it?"

Arakawa Ryo thought excitedly.

There was no need for Griffin to make a move; Doyle's legendary grade army was not something Lin Xiao could contend with either.

"Most people have arrived."

After Griffin and the others appeared, no more lords arrived.

Doyle's gaze swept across the crowd.

Those making a move this time totaled forty-seven people from the Four Great Races combined.

In terms of quantity, it could not compare to the three hundred Sixth-order Lords dispatched during the previous encirclement battle, but in terms of strength, these forty-seven people far exceeded the former.

It wasn't that the Four Great Races didn't want to dispatch more top-tier lords, but conditions did not permit it.

The top-tier lords and Super-spec Lords of the Four Great Races were already tightly entangled by the Human Race's Sixth-order Lords. It had taken a great deal of effort to allow them to break away.

Time did not permit it, nor did strength.

With these top-tier combat powers being transferred away to attack Lin Xiao, their side's advantage on the Sixth-order battlefield was no longer as great, making it difficult to transfer more top-tier lords.

"However, it is enough."

Doyle was very calm. During the previous encirclement battle, those dozens of ordinary Sixth-order armies had almost breached Lin Xiao's territory.

Even though more than ten days had passed and Lin Xiao's strength had grown stronger, it was impossible for him to be their opponent.

"Let's agree on a time and attack together," Doyle said indifferently. "Remember, we must also go personally so that we can bring out the true strength of the army."

"Very well." Griffin nodded.

After the two big shots finished discussing, the others had no objections.

"With Griffin and Doyle here, our attack this time is just going through the motions," a lord laughed heartily.

The others also laughed one after another, their expressions relaxed.

It wasn't that Lin Xiao was too weak, but that they were too strong.

[Your territory is being invaded.]

[Your territory is being invaded.]

Dozens of consecutively ringing System prompts caused Lin Xiao to abruptly stand up, his gaze looking toward the edge of the territory.

An Epic Grade longbow appeared in his hand.

"You've finally come."

"First, endure my welcoming gift."

Arakawa Ryo led his army and appeared on the south side of Lin Xiao's territory.

The higher-ups had demands, so he dared not slack off. Aside from the heroes and Troop Types that had been recruited not long ago left in the territory, he had brought out all the other troops.

Five Epic Heroes and 7,000 Epic Grade Troop Types.

Of course, the real trump card was still that 200-man legendary grade army.

Just as they finished forming their Formation,

suddenly, the earth shook violently.

Arakawa Ryo was startled in his heart and quickly looked toward the source of the sound, immediately discovering a cavalry unit of over a hundred people charging wildly toward them at an astonishing speed.

Seeing this, Arakawa Ryo did not panic. He was also a veteran of many battles; what kind of scenes had he not seen?

Three massive military Formation phantoms appeared above his army.

Arakawa Ryo's army obviously did not Cultivate the same Military Formation Technique.

Among these three military Formation phantoms, one was an archer, one was heavy infantry, and as for the legendary grade army serving as the trump card, what emerged above them was an imposing and majestic general.

As the Formation took shape and the phantoms emerged, the aura on everyone's body suddenly skyrocketed.

At the same time, the cavalry charging forward like lightning also completed their Formation, and a massive lightning-type strange beast emerged.

"A strange beast."

"An Advanced Military Formation Technique."

Seeing that lightning strange beast, Arakawa Ryo's heart trembled, but he quickly calmed down.

So what if it was an Advanced Military Formation Technique? The opponent was obviously just starting out with the Formation, so the bonuses provided wouldn't be very high.

Even if the opponent's hundred-plus people were all legendary grade, so what?

Just as the two sides rapidly approached and a battle was about to erupt,

a terrifying Extinction Ray appeared without warning above Arakawa Ryo's army, instantly shooting downwards.

"Lin Xiao, this move was exposed long ago. Do you think we wouldn't guard against it?"

Arakawa Ryo did not panic in the slightest.

The heroes who had long been prepared, along with that army with an archer phantom floating above them, immediately launched full-scale attacks, numerous assaults bombarding the falling Extinction Ray.

However, the moment the attacks of both sides came into contact,

Arakawa Ryo felt something was amiss. The terror of this Extinction Ray exceeded his expectations. He had originally thought that his arranged attacks could shatter this Extinction Ray, but he hadn't expected it to still fall quite short.

"Not good, attack quickly!"

Arakawa Ryo had no time to think and hurriedly ordered the other heroes and Troop Types to attack together, completely shattering it right before the Extinction Ray fell.

Most people's attention was attracted by the falling Extinction Ray, yet they ignored the rapidly charging Dragon Cavalry.

And they even more so ignored that hero charging at the very front.

"Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill~"

Tu Lie's eyes were filled with endless killing intent.

The next moment, boundless blood-red light soared into the sky.
