182: Chapter 182 Level 6 Territory

[Do you want to join the Strategic Command Group?]

"Confirm."

Lin Xiao was pulled into a chat group.

In this chat group, almost everyone was a Seventh-order Lord, a top-tier lord, or a Super-spec Lord; Lin Xiao was the sole exception.

Lord Gao Mu, who had once supported Lin Xiao, was among them.

He wasn't originally a seventh-order top-tier lord, but because of his outstanding strength, he was also among the aided Seventh-order Lords, obtaining Legendary Heroes and Troop Types, leaping to become a top-tier lord.

Such examples were obviously rare.

No matter how great the support from the High-tier Lords, it was impossible to benefit all Seventh-order Lords; it was mainly the top-tier batch that received strong support, as they were the main force of the battle.

The owner of the chat group Lin Xiao joined was named Jiang Feng, a Super-spec Lord and the strongest Seventh-order Lord of the Human Race.

He was ordered to command the upcoming great battle.

"Lord Gao Mu, Liu Jichuan, you two go attack Anthony's territory."

"Find a way to contact Deng Cheng and see what his current situation is, and who has invaded him."

Jiang Feng continuously issued orders.

Under his arrangements, the Human Race's seventh-order top-tier lords and Super-spec Lords launched invasions against powerful enemies of the Four Great Races, or were invaded themselves.

"Lin Xiao, remember, you must make absolutely sure that the Bull Demon Race's Bloodhoof and the Shadow Race's Shadow Devourer—these two First-Generation Lords—as well as the other seventh-order Super-spec Lords, are pinned down completely and cannot pull away before you upgrade your territory."

Finally, Jiang Feng said to Lin Xiao with a solemn expression.

"I understand."

Lin Xiao sent the message.

He knew that the most dangerous among the Seventh-order Lords were those Super-spec Lords.

Take Bloodhoof, for example; his SS-grade talent gave his heroes and Troop Types attributes twenty times the current tier limit, which was two billion.

And this was not even counting world wonders.

If Bloodhoof were to attack with all his might, Lin Xiao would not be able to hold him off.

Shadow Devourer's talent did not offer such simple and crude attribute boosts, but it was far more troublesome. Under the influence of his talent, his heroes and Troop Types were extremely skilled at assassination, and their burst damage in an instant was shockingly high.

It was highly likely that before Lin Xiao's army could even react, they would already be assassinated on the spot.

The other Super-spec Lords did not pose as great a threat as these two First-Generation Lords, but to Lin Xiao, they were still massive threats.

Letting even one slip away could lead to Lin Xiao's downfall.

"Bloodhoof's strength has become extremely terrifying; we need more people to pin him down."

"And Shadow Devourer, his threat has also become immense."

Jiang Feng kept track of the latest battle situation in real-time through various means.

These two First-Generation Lords of the Bull Demon Race and Shadow Race, after receiving tilted resources from the Purgatory Race, possessed strength far exceeding before. This required deploying more of the Human Race's seventh-order top-tier lords or Super-spec Lords to keep them firmly pinned down.

There was also Odaro of the Purgatory Race and Kyle of the Sin Race; not a single mistake could be made.

Under Jiang Feng's command, these most threatening Seventh-order Lords were pinned down one by one.

"I must enter the battlefield now as well."

"Lin Xiao, wait a bit longer."

As the strongest Super-spec Lord of the Human Race, Jiang Feng naturally would not stay out of it. Without him, the Human Race would not be able to keep such a tight watch on the enemies.

After Jiang Feng entered the battlefield, there were other commanders in the chat group who continuously confirmed the latest battle situations.

"It's about time."

Upon seeing this message, Lin Xiao immediately closed the chat group and returned to his territory.

At this time, all dispatched armies had been recalled, and the territory was not in a state of war, ready to be upgraded at any moment.

Lin Xiao's gaze slowly swept across his territory.

Compared to when he had just upgraded to a Level 5 territory, his territory's strength was now countless times greater.

Now, among the heroes and Troop Types under Lin Xiao's command, even those with the lowest attributes had grown to fifty times the tier limit, reaching the standard of an SSS-grade talent.

With the addition of the Hunyuan Saint Body boost, it was sixty million.

Jiang Yao, who had the highest attributes, reached as high as ninety million.

It wasn't that Lin Xiao was unwilling to invest, nor was it that the heroes and Troop Types weren't working hard, but rather that the threshold of fifty times was simply too difficult to cross.

After all, this attribute multiplier was already at the level of an SSS-grade talent.

To become even stronger, they needed more time to slowly grind.

Even though more than a year had passed in Lin Xiao's territory under the five-fold time dilation, progress was still extremely slow.

The attributes of the vast majority of Troop Types were stuck at fifty times. Only the Human Race's legendary grade Troop Types could Cultivate to sixty times, and Human Race heroes could reach seventy times. The highest was Jiang Yao, who possessed attributes eighty times the tier limit.

Now was clearly not the time for slow growth. Upon realizing the difficulty of attribute growth, Lin Xiao immediately arranged for the personnel Cultivating the three Advanced Military Formation Techniques to focus their energy on studying the Formations.

After investing countless efforts, they were only one step away from reaching the Realm of Minor Achievement in Formations.

However, this final step was too difficult to cross. He could only wait until his territory reached Level 6 to seek a Breakthrough.

"This will do."

Lin Xiao thought to himself. He had already pushed things to the limit; unless he was given more time, it would be very difficult to increase his strength by much.

It was time to upgrade the territory.

Thinking of this, he hesitated no longer, opened the territory panel, and pressed the upgrade button.

"Upgrade territory."

*Boom~*

An incomparably magnificent golden light cascaded down from the vault of heaven, enveloping the Lords Mansion and the surrounding area of one square kilometer.

The first to undergo transformation was still the Lords Mansion.

Lin Xiao saw that under the shroud of the golden light, more buildings rose from the ground within this one-square-kilometer area, guarding the increasingly tall and majestic Lords Mansion in the center.

This area was also the absolute core within the central region.

As the territory Rank grew higher and higher, it also became larger and larger.

Fortunately, Lin Xiao had made adjustments beforehand, clearing out a large enough space, so the numerous defensive buildings placed in the central region were not affected.

Once the Lords Mansion completed its transformation, the endless golden light surged toward the 1.5 million square kilometers of territory, beginning to refine the territory's structure and rules, evolving toward a higher level.

Endless chaos source qi gushed from the Void Realm, rapidly raising the concentration of chaos source qi throughout the entire territory, reaching the standard of a Level 6 territory.

Countless resources of various kinds sprang up like bamboo shoots after a rain across the vast territory.

*Rumble~*

As the territory completed its upgrade, the two major resource buildings, the Spiritual Vein and the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Lake, also underwent changes simultaneously.

At several Spiritual Vein placement sites, the earth trembled slightly as incredibly rich chaos source qi gushed from underground, slowly raising the concentration of chaos source qi in the surrounding areas.

In the northwestern direction of the territory, the countless waters within the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Lake surged like waves, sweeping in all directions. Wherever they went, the ground sank and blood water welled up, becoming a part of the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Lake.

Unlike the massive disturbances caused by the Spiritual Vein and the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Lake, the chaos mist, which also did not require an upgrade, remained completely quiet without any change.

It was already in its complete form upon construction; unless its Sealed state was lifted, it would not undergo any changes due to territory upgrades.

At this moment, System notifications also continuously rang out in Lin Xiao's ears.
