185: Chapter 185 Intrusion Anomaly, The Seventh Hero

Oshima Sishi is a Sixth-order Lord of the Sin Race.

He had just received an order instructing him to immediately attack Lin Xiao's territory.

Facing this order, Oshima Sishi's heart was undoubtedly rejecting it.

He knew all too well how terrifying of an existence that Lin Xiao was. To escape the attack range of that great Devil King, he had tried every possible method and exhausted years of accumulation just to escape with his life.

He had not even lived a few days of good life, and now he was going to throw his life away again?

However, the will of the upper echelons was not something a weak Sixth-order Lord like him could defy. No matter how unwilling or reluctant he was, he could only execute the mission.

Opening the invasion panel, Oshima Sishi tremblingly entered the coordinates of Lin Xiao's territory.

[ Do you want to spend 100 million Source Crystal to open the invasion? ]

"D-De-, Definitely."

Oshima Sishi said with a trembling voice.

As the Source Crystal was deducted, a spacetime channel leading to the target territory appeared.

Oshima Sishi led his own army and walked in helplessly.

He, the lord, was also among them.

Absorbing the lessons from the failure of the previous encirclement and suppression battle, the Four Great Races decided to monitor the situation inside Lin Xiao's territory in real-time, to avoid repeating the situation where they fought for a long time without even knowing who their combat target was. Therefore, they made a portion of lords also march with the army.

Because Oshima Sishi had fewer previous deaths and could quickly resurrect in his territory even if he died in battle, bringing back intelligence regarding Lin Xiao's territory, he was strongly ordered by the upper echelons to be included in the list of lords marching with the army.

Teleportation ended.

After entering the territory of "Lin Xiao", Oshima Sishi took action at the first moment.

The army he brought also used various methods.

There was only one goal, and that was to survive.

"Wait, why am I still not dead?"

A moment later, Oshima Sishi snapped back to reality.

There was no terrifying attack descending from the sky, nor was there a powerful army capable of instantly killing him.

"Are they disdainful of dealing with me?"

Oshima Sishi was filled with doubt and suspicion. Given his army's strength, he probably wasn't even regarded by Lin Xiao at all, and there were definitely more than just him invading as a Sixth-order Lord, which was why he wasn't targeted?

However, such a guess was obviously unconvincing because he didn't feel any power fluctuations of battle elsewhere.

Seeing this, Oshima Sishi hurriedly ordered the flying Troop Type to scout the enemy situation.

Soon, the flying Troop Type brought back the scouted intelligence.

After listening, Oshima Sishi was instantly dumbfounded.

The size of this territory was only tens of thousands of square kilometers. Moreover, the opposing lord already knew of his invasion and was deploying troops to prepare to meet the enemy.

"This is not Lin Xiao's territory."

"How is this possible."

Oshima Sishi froze in place; no matter what, he never expected such a situation to occur.

He could be certain that he hadn't entered the wrong coordinates. He was a Sixth-order Lord after all, and it was impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake.

However, he didn't even receive a System prompt about an invasion error. How could he have come to an unfamiliar territory?

Oshima Sishi was utterly baffled.

Of course, even if an anomaly occurred during the invasion, it wasn't a big deal.

He could completely commit suicide, or sacrifice his army, and then resurrect in his own territory to end this invasion early. At the same time, he could also bring the intelligence back.

"Wait, it's not my problem anyway, why should I commit suicide?"

Just as Oshima Sishi was about to do so, he suddenly paused.

If he committed suicide now and brought the intelligence back, it would indeed be a merit, but his army would be buried right here.

For him, who was currently penniless and stripped of everything, this was undoubtedly a huge loss.

Oshima Sishi had been forced into this to begin with, and his initiative wasn't that high. Thinking that he would likely be sent out again after returning, his heart was filled with resistance.

Rather than that, it would be better to just linger in this territory.

Judging by the opposing lord's reaction, this territory's strength wasn't very strong, and the threat to him wasn't big. Once the spacetime tremor ended, he could safely return.

As for whether it would delay the military opportunities or anything.

Oshima Sishi wasn't too worried.

If the invasion anomaly was caused by Lin Xiao, then surely he wasn't the only one with the same encounter.

Someone would always bring the intelligence back.

The same situation appeared on those Sixth-order Lords who invaded Lin Xiao's territory.

Under the influence of the chaos mist, nearly half of the Sixth-order Lords were deflected to the territories of unknown lords.

Those Sixth-order Lords who only dispatched their armies reacted rather slowly and didn't notice anything wrong, but those lords marching with the army quickly discovered the anomaly, knowing that they had invaded an unfamiliar territory.

Aside from shock, their reactions were also varied.

Some chose to give up and slack off like Oshima Sishi, some chose suicide without hesitation, and others were fiercely killed by the lord of that territory before they could make a decision.

...

[ Your territory is being invaded. ]

[ Your territory is being invaded. ]

...

The System prompt ringing in his ears made Lin Xiao pause for a moment.

"Has it come?"

His gaze instantly cast toward the edge of the territory.

After synchronizing the highest attributes and ranks of his subordinate heroes and Troop Types, Lin Xiao could now take in everything happening within the 1.5 million square kilometer territory at a glance.

At the same time, four void barrier-breaking stones appeared in his palm.

The next moment, they could cross a distance of hundreds of kilometers and strike the barrier separating the territory and the Void Land.

The Seventeenth Layer of the Void Land had successfully connected with Lin Xiao's territory a few days ago, but there were still several days left before the barrier naturally dissipated.

However, Lin Xiao could make the monster horde descend in advance.

Yet he wasn't in a hurry to make a move.

Because he discovered that the System prompt for the invasion was far fewer than imagined, and the invading armies appearing in his territory didn't look like the armies of a Seventh-order Lord.

"Those attacking now are Sixth-order Lords."

Lin Xiao understood clearly in his heart.

The deflection probability of the chaos mist against peers of the same order was as high as 30%. Presumably, quite a few Sixth-order Lords had already been deflected to other lords' territories.

The armies of Sixth-order Lords posed no threat to Lin Xiao, so naturally they weren't worth breaking the barrier between the territory and the Void Land in advance.

"However, it seems no lord entered personally?"

Lin Xiao's gaze swept over the incoming invading army, but he didn't find any lord-like fellows. He didn't know whether they hadn't accompanied the army or if they were hiding too well.

If it was the former, it was probably related to the current increase in his luck.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao's heart suddenly stirred.

If he killed fast enough, coupled with the influence of luck, would it be possible to make his territory temporarily escape the state of war? If that were really the case, he could take the opportunity to upgrade his territory to Level 7.

A moment later, Lin Xiao shook his head not without regret.

The Four Great Races obviously couldn't make such a big mistake. The Sixth-order Lords they dispatched didn't enter all at once, but continuously invaded like a tide.

Before Lin Xiao could find and wipe out all the invading troops from the previous wave of invasion, the next wave of invasion had already arrived.

The luck provided by the flower of fortune was also far from enough to make the deflection probability of the chaos mist reach 100%; otherwise, it wouldn't just be an Epic Grade item.

Entrusting the task of killing the invading army to Guan Ri, Lin Xiao looked forward at a huge figure as tall as a mountain, wearing a frost crown and holding a winter scepter.
