86: Chapter 86 The Great War Breaks Out

For this act of revenge, even knowing that there was a high probability of a trap, Lin Xiao did not dare to be careless.

Aside from leaving Jiang Yao, Gunn, and Zhang Yu to guard the home base, he brought along all his other Epic Grade heroes and Troop Types.

As for the perfect-grade Troop Types, he did not bring them.

They lacked sufficient strength, and appearing on the battlefield would only make them a burden.

Lin Xiao had made ample preparations for this battle.

The attributes of the Epic Grade Troop Types were all at one hundred thousand.

Among the three heroes, Zhong Yue and Tu Lie had attributes of one hundred and ten thousand, while Qian Ying had one hundred and twenty thousand.

It wasn't that Qian Ying didn't want to widen the gap, but after entering the Tier Five realm, not only did the difficulty of Cultivation increase greatly, but the extra resistance she faced also skyrocketed. Being able to Cultivate up to one hundred and twenty thousand attributes was already the result of her utmost effort.

In addition, Lin Xiao was not stingy with equipment; everyone was equipped with perfect-grade gear, and Zhong Yue was even wielding an Epic Grade Battering Ram.

"Everyone, get ready. As soon as we cross over, a major battle might break out."

Lin Xiao looked at everyone and assigned them their respective tasks.

He then led his deployed army and stepped into the space-time channel.

...

Within a territory spanning a full thousand square kilometers.

More than a hundred Sin Clan Lords gathered together.

Although they knew they might face a major battle next, there was not much panic or anxiety on their faces; instead, they were full of confidence.

Their confidence stemmed from their powerful strength.

At this moment, the heroes and Troop Types gathered in this territory numbered in the tens of thousands. There were ground Troop Types as well as flying Troop Types, and the lowest among them was perfect-grade.

There were 53 Epic Grade heroes and 820 Epic Grade Troop Types.

With such formidable strength, they did not believe Lin Xiao had even a slight chance of turning the tables.

"Heh, if that Lin Xiao doesn't come, then so be it. But if he dares to show up, we will make sure he never returns."

The lord who spoke was surrounded in the center like stars crowding around the moon.

His name was Ando Masakazu. He was the leader of the trap set by the Sin Race. Unlike other temporarily promoted lords, he had been a top-tier lord from the very beginning. Both his strength and status were far above those who had just become top-tier lords.

As for the other veteran lords, they were not even worth mentioning in comparison.

"Lord Anteng is right."

"I really hope Lin Xiao comes to our place. That way, we can also have the honor of personally slaying an Super-spec Lord, making those cowardly fellows regret it for the rest of their lives."

Not all the lords who participated in the ambush had come.

Some lords did not dare to venture into dangerous areas lightly, and only sent their subordinate heroes and Troop Types over.

These people naturally faced the cold mockery and sarcasm of the others.

"Alright, stay sharp, and don't be too careless," Ando Masakazu said calmly. Although he was confident, he still did what needed to be done.

Just then, one of the lords' expressions changed slightly.

"Lord Anteng, my territory has been invaded," he said hurriedly.

Hearing this, the other lords who possessed flying Troop Types quickly communicated with their subordinate Troop Types and heroes.

These flying heroes and Troop Types were responsible for aerial patrols, and any unusual movement in the territory could not escape their eyes.

"I see them, on the northern side of the territory."

"Twenty Dragons. Lin Xiao, it must be Lin Xiao."

"He's here."

The atmosphere instantly became tense. Although they had all been full of confidence earlier, when Lin Xiao actually arrived, they couldn't help but feel a bit apprehensive.

It couldn't be helped; Lin Xiao was simply too brutal.

"What is there to fear? No matter how strong Lin Xiao is, the army he brought in only has 47 members. With tens of thousands of us, we can crush them with numbers alone. Besides, Dicas and the others will be coming to support us soon."

Ando Masakazu was the calmest. After soothing everyone's emotions with a single sentence,

he immediately issued an order.

"Kimura Shun, you stay here. If any calls for help come in, pass the message along immediately."

"The rest of you, follow me."

Led by Ando Masakazu, except for the necessary garrison forces, tens of thousands of heroes and Troop Types rushed toward the northern side of the territory with the utmost speed, forming a grand and formidable army.

...

"Heh, it's not as dangerous as I imagined."

After entering the territory, Lin Xiao thought he would immediately face a fierce onslaught, but there wasn't a single soul in sight at the edge of the territory.

However, as the Burning Sky Flame Dragons took to the sky and captured the movements of the tens of thousands of enemy troops, Lin Xiao finally understood.

It turned out they were relying on their massive numbers.

An army of tens of thousands was undoubtedly the strongest opponent Lin Xiao had ever faced, and he still didn't know how many Epic Grade units were among them.

"Qian Ying."

Lin Xiao said in a low voice.

Qian Ying nodded, her figure instantly vanishing into the Void Realm.

Her presence on the main battlefield wouldn't make a huge difference, so the task Lin Xiao gave her was to find the lord of this territory.

If the enemy's strength was too overwhelming for even him to contend with, then taking out the lord as quickly as possible would be the best choice.

Conversely, if things went well, then none of these tens of thousands of troops should think about escaping easily.

The battle erupted instantly.

The first to engage the enemy were the Burning Sky Flame Dragons.

They had originally wanted to rain down a wave of Meteorites upon the tens of thousands of troops. However, before the enemy could even enter their attack range, an overwhelming flock of flying Troop Types flew toward them, numbering in the thousands.

Boom!

Tyler and the other Burning Sky Flame Dragons were the first to strike. They spat out streams of deep-red, scorching Dragon Breath, sweeping through the densely packed flying Troop Types opposite them.

Wherever the Dragon Breath reached, whether they were heroes or Troop Types, all were completely annihilated.

These flying Troop Types came from different lords, so their command was somewhat chaotic, and they didn't spread out very far from one another.

With just this single sweep of Dragon Breath, over three hundred flying Troop Types were killed.

Greatly shaken, the remaining flying Troop Types quickly flew higher or lower, hastily widening the distance between them.

After breathing their Dragon Breath, the Burning Sky Flame Dragons cast shields and buff magic on themselves before roaring and lunging forward. Even when facing enemies that outnumbered them a hundredfold, they showed no fear.

Flesh and limbs constantly rained down from the sky.

Not long after the battle in the air erupted, the battle on the ground closely followed.

The Wind Shadow Archers were the first to make their move.

With the bonus from the barracks technology, they could shoot thirteen arrows per second.

Beams of terrifying azure light poured down toward the tens of thousands of enemy troops opposite them.

At the same time, the enemy's ranged Troop Types also attacked. Tens of thousands of various ranged attacks rained down—lightning, fireballs, wind blades... and even more attacks imbued with spiritual energy.

In terms of numbers, the enemy's attacks far surpassed those of the Wind Shadow Archers.

However, the moment they clashed, the ranged attacks from the Sin Race's side seemed as fragile as paper, being instantly obliterated.

The azure light continued with undiminished momentum, violently piercing deep into the opposing army.

The defensive Troop Types at the very front watched in disbelief as their bodies were pierced through, before collapsing powerlessly.

Like wheat being harvested, they fell row after row.

The ranged attacks that weren't intercepted by the Wind Shadow Archers were all blocked by the Black Armor Soldiers, who raised their massive shields.

"Is that it?"

Seeing this one-sided slaughter, a question mark popped up over Lin Xiao's head.
