46: Chapter 46 Meteorite Fall

The Red Lotus Domain, a barracks technology that came with the Blazing Dragon Nest.

Lin Xiao did not have enough resources to unlock it yet. Therefore, for Tyler and the other Burning Sky Flame Dragons, it made no difference where they grew up in the territory.

After all, the concentration of chaos source qi was consistent throughout the territory.

Thus, Lin Xiao simply dispatched them to patrol the high skies at the edge of his territory, keeping a constant lookout for potential invaders.

Currently, the territory was not too large, and the Burning Sky Flame Dragons had an extremely wide field of vision. It only took a few of them to keep a tight watch over the entire boundary of the territory, and they could even rotate shifts.

Upon receiving the System notification that his territory was being invaded, Lin Xiao immediately used Dragon Language Magic to communicate with the several Burning Sky Flame Dragons patrolling the border.

"Conrad."

Lin Xiao's voice echoed in the mind of the Burning Sky Flame Dragon high in the sky on the northern side of the territory.

"My Lord," Conrad said respectfully.

"Report on the enemy's situation."

"Yes."

Conrad did not dare to delay, transmitting everything he saw to Lin Xiao's mind like a playing movie.

"Human units... It seems most likely to be another Sin Race lord."

"An army of several hundred people—that's quite a decent scale."

Not to mention the strength of the hero and the units, the sheer size of the army alone far exceeded that of Raymond's.

But it was also reasonable.

The population of a Level 3 territory was 100,000. Even if they were all of rare grade, they could still recruit a thousand troops.

If mixed with some Excellent grade units, the number would only be greater.

Of course, that Sin Race lord could not have sent out his entire army. After all, the safety of his own base was the most important. Being able to dispatch several hundred troops was already a grand gesture.

"My Lord, should I take them out?" Conrad took the initiative to request battle.

"Don't be in such a hurry to act."

Lin Xiao shook his head and ordered, "Keep a close eye on them. If anyone separates from the main force or goes into stealth, notify me immediately."

Conrad quickly complied. Lin Xiao withdrew his gaze and ordered Tu Lie to lead his troops to attack. At the same time, he redeployed another Burning Sky Flame Dragon to rush over.

Suddenly.

"My Lord, they are splitting their forces," Conrad's urgent voice rang out.

"Hmm?"

Upon receiving the message, Lin Xiao immediately shifted his perspective over. He saw that the invading army had halted its advance, but had split into several small squads to scout ahead.

Each squad consisted of ten people.

This situation was actually quite normal.

These invaders knew nothing about Lin Xiao's territory. They had no idea whether they were entering the domain of an ordinary Third-Tier Lord or an established veteran Third-Tier Lord.

Maintaining proper vigilance and caution was only logical.

"Splitting up... Splitting up is good."

"Conrad, get ready to make your move."

Lin Xiao ordered.

"Yes!" Conrad responded with some excitement.

...

Commanding this invading army was a Third-Tier human hero.

"Spiritual Qi... No, that's not right?"

Just after entering Lin Xiao's territory, he sensed that something was off. The extraordinary energy filling the air was not Spiritual Qi, yet they could absorb it with ease without any discomfort.

In fact, it seemed even better than Spiritual Qi?

The human hero could not understand why, but he instinctively grew vigilant.

He did not dare to be careless in the slightest, cautiously issuing orders.

The enemy's failure to appear made him increasingly uneasy. According to his rich experience in invasions, the opponent should have discovered them long ago by now.

Things don't happen without a reason when they're this abnormal; what on earth was waiting for them ahead?

Right at that moment, a strong sense of crisis welled up from the depths of his heart. The hairs on the human hero's body stood on end, and without a second thought, he raised his head and looked up at the sky.

He saw that the originally calm sky had turned a fiery red at some point.

Magical fluctuations beyond imagination were condensing within it.

"Not good!" The human hero's face changed drastically.

A super magic strike? A Forbidden Spell?

"Everyone, run!"

He had no time to think and immediately issued the order, wanting his army to escape the strike zone at maximum speed.

However, it was too late.

Just a moment after he noticed it, the fiery clouds high in the sky surged frantically, and a dark-red fireball ten meters in size burst through the clouds, falling at an extreme speed.

Even before it neared the ground, the temperature began to climb frantically.

*Boom!*

In the blink of an eye, the dark-red fireball slammed heavily onto the earth.

A terrifying explosion rang out, and the earth shook violently as a horrifying shockwave carrying dark-red waves of flame swept through everything in the vicinity.

Among the desperately fleeing invading army, those at the very back were instantly vaporized. Those who had managed to run slightly further fared no better; including that human hero, they were either incinerated by the flames or crushed by the shockwave.

With just a single strike, the main body of this invading army was completely wiped out.

Only the ten-man squads that had split off managed to survive because they were far enough away.

However, at this moment, they were also knocked to the ground one after another, their minds blank as they stared at the spot where the dark-red fireball had fallen.

Also witnessing this world-destroying strike were Tu Lie and the Dragon Cavalry, who were close to the battlefield.

The eyes of the Dragon Cavalry members were filled with utter shock and horror.

Tu Lie, on the other hand, was relatively fine; although this strike was terrifying, it did not threaten his life.

"What are you all dazed for? Move!"

With Tu Lie's loud shout, the Dragon Cavalry snapped back to their senses. They did not dare to delay, immediately rushing toward those ten-man squads at their fastest speed.

These ten-man squads were all Tier 3 human units, and their quality was also of the rare grade.

In terms of individual strength, they were stronger than the Dragon Cavalry.

However, they had already been scared out of their wits, unable to exert much of their strength. Furthermore, with the hero Tu Lie presiding over them, there was absolutely no possibility of turning the tables. Those who resisted fiercely were killed on the spot, while the rest were all captured.

An invasion battle thus came to an end.

[Your unit has killed a Tier 3 creature. You have obtained 25 slaughter point.]

[Your unit has killed a Tier 3 creature. You have obtained 31 slaughter point.]

...

Lin Xiao was also watching this battle through the images transmitted by Conrad. After the Meteorite fell, the System notifications for obtaining slaughter point began to refresh frantically, but he only glanced at it before withdrawing his gaze.

"As expected of an Epic Grade unit, and a Dragon Clan unit at that."

Lin Xiao was still very satisfied with the destructive power of this Meteorite-summoning skill.

A single blow had wiped out the hundreds of invaders.

One had to know that these invaders were all Tier 3 units, yet they were wiped out in an instant.

The attack range had even reached an astonishing one square kilometer.

Whether in terms of destructive power or range, it far exceeded the Frost Giant's Frost Burst Star.

It was just that...

Looking at the shocking, massive crater flowing with billowing lava where the Meteorite had landed, Lin Xiao's eyelid could not help but twitch slightly.

The Meteorite was indeed powerful at killing enemies, but its destruction of the terrain was also extremely shocking.

He immediately made a decision: unless it was absolutely necessary, he would never throw a Meteorite into his own territory...

Just how big was his territory? It simply could not withstand such devastation.

Although Lin Xiao did not engage in any activities like mining, logging, or farming in his territory, he still did not want his territory to be riddled with Meteorite craters everywhere.

If there was to be havoc, it was better to wreak it upon the Void Land and hostile lords.
