87: Chapter 87 Reinforcements Arrive

"It seems most of the enemy heroes and Troop Types are perfect-grade."

Lin Xiao quickly came to a realization.

The gap between perfect-grade and Epic Grade was already huge, and when factoring in the tenfold stat difference... it was only reasonable that they were being beaten like common mobs.

The Troop Types under his command had defeated the enemy so thoroughly that they were in complete disarray without even using their burst skills.

It wasn't that the enemy was too weak, but that he was too strong.

"Take it easy, hold back a bit."

"Don't crush them too quickly."

Lin Xiao quickly used Dragon Language Magic to notify everyone.

Since the enemy was so fragile, what he wanted was not just to annihilate them, but to achieve an even greater victory.

After all, his strength would be fully exposed after this battle.

Lin Xiao wanted to exploit this element of surprise to the absolute limit, ideally wrapping things up once and for all in a single battle.

To completely resolve the troubles in the First Source Sea.

That way, he could head to the Second Source Sea without any worries.

It was impossible that the trap laid by Dicas and the others was the only one.

What Lin Xiao needed to do was lure those people over as well. Therefore, he couldn't show all his cards right away and crush the enemy immediately.

Otherwise, who would dare to come?

"Understood."

"As you command."

The Burning Sky Flame Dragon, Wind Shadow Archers, and the others understood tacitly, and they all began to hold back in unison.

At the same time.

The terrifying damage output of the Wind Shadow Archers and the shocking defense of the Black Armor Soldiers were witnessed by the Sin Clan Lords watching from behind, and horror instantly appeared in many of their eyes.

It was too terrifying.

They couldn't imagine how a Tier 3 Troop Type could have such terrifying damage and defense; even if the opponents were all Epic Grade, it was still far too frightening.

"What a Lin Xiao. As expected of an Super-spec Lord, the army under him is indeed extraordinarily strong."

Ando Masakazu, however, managed to remain calm.

He knew very well what an Super-spec Lord meant, so he wasn't overly shocked by the terrifying combat power Lin Xiao's army displayed.

Those perfect-grade heroes and Troop Types were originally meant to be cannon fodder to wear down Lin Xiao's army; he didn't care how many of them died.

"Lin Xiao's army's combat power has weakened."

A sharp gleam flashed in Ando Masakazu's eyes as he keenly sensed something amiss.

The terrifying combat power from before was indeed the result of a burst skill.

"A fine opportunity."

"Take his life while he's vulnerable."

As Ando Masakazu gave the order, terrifying auras surged from the rear of the army. The fifty-three Epic Grade heroes and eight hundred and twenty Epic Grade Troop Types who hadn't moved earlier instantly erupted with incredibly powerful auras.

They instantly bypassed the heavily damaged front-row Troop Types and charged toward Lin Xiao's army at an astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye, they crossed the battlefield.

"Moonlight Slash!"

"Secret Art—Flow Interruption!"

"Roar of a Hundred Ghosts!"

...

Hundreds of terrifying attacks blasted over violently.

The Wind Shadow Archers immediately switched targets, and streams of azure light poured down. Even though they deliberately held back, the power of these arrow lights was still extremely shocking, instantly neutralizing a portion of the attacks.

However, there were still many remaining attacks.

At this moment, Zhong Yue and Tu Lie stepped out from the crowd.

A ferocious smile appeared on Tu Lie's face. The mountain-splitting axe in his hand slashed out a chilling bloody light that instantly traveled over a hundred meters, crushing the attacks along the way while also slicing over a dozen heroes and Troop Types in its path in half.

Zhong Yue took a deep breath.

"Roar~"

A thunderous roar suddenly exploded.

Terrifying sound waves rolled forward, crushing all the remaining attacks.

Several Sin Race heroes charging at the very front suddenly froze in their tracks, and in the next moment, they abruptly exploded into pieces.

Tu Lie moved like lightning, boldly charging into the midst of the incoming heroes and Troop Types. Bloody lights slashed out frantically, harvesting a vast number of lives in an instant. The attacks of the Wind Shadow Archers also poured down, piercing through the bodies of one Epic Grade Troop Type after another.

The strength of heroes was far greater than that of Troop Types. With them deliberately holding back, it was difficult to cause too much damage to the heroes, but the Troop Types were a different story.

Under the attacks of Tu Lie and the Wind Shadow Archers, these charging Epic Grade heroes and Troop Types suffered heavy casualties in an instant.

Some heroes were still unwilling to give up and tried to force their way through.

However, Zhong Yue blocked their path and smashed them to pieces with his hammer.

In the end, the surviving heroes and Troop Types who managed to flee back numbered just over a hundred in total.

"Damn it, those are the heroes under Lin Xiao. They still have burst skills."

Ando Masakazu's face turned ashen.

He never expected that his seemingly guaranteed strike would result in such a tragic end.

"We need reinforcements."

The brutal reality shattered Ando Masakazu's dream of easily defeating Lin Xiao.

He knew that they couldn't possibly be Lin Xiao's match on their own and could only wait for external reinforcements.

Meanwhile, he passed all the observations he had made to Kimura Shun, who was at the rear.

Kimura Shun was extremely anxious, knowing that the battle ahead wouldn't last very long.

Suddenly, a System prompt requesting assistance rang in his ears.

"Excellent!"

Kimura Shun did not dare to delay and immediately dispatched a Troop Type to send the message out.

...

"Lin Xiao is in Kimura Shun's territory."

This news reached Dicas as quickly as possible. He immediately ordered people to pass the message to other Sin Clan Lords in the other traps, as well as those of the Purgatory Race, Bull Demon Race, and Shadow Race, under the guise of requesting assistance.

Within a vast territory.

The body of a Sin Clan Lord trembled uncontrollably, his eyes filled with resentment and fear.

"Warren, did you receive the news?"

The other lords lying in ambush in this territory immediately noticed his abnormality.

"I, I..."

Warren was indeed the owner of this territory.

Facing the questioning and cold gazes of the others, Warren did not dare to hide anything. After all, if he did, his end would be worse than death, and even his family would be implicated.

He truthfully revealed the news he had received.

The lords here had basically come over through invasion, and if they wanted to leave quickly, there was only one way.

"Lin Xiao didn't step into this trap. Alas, this is your fate."

"Warren, the Co-Prosperity Race will remember your contribution, and your family will be rewarded."

A long blade pierced Warren's heart, ending his life.

With Warren's death, this territory collapsed instantly. The lords lying in ambush inside, along with their heroes and Troop Types, immediately returned to their respective territories.

Immediately after, they received Dicas's order to invade Kimura Shun's territory at the fastest speed possible.

The same scene was also playing out in the Purgatory Race, Bull Demon Race, and Shadow Race.

Especially after confirming that Lin Xiao himself was also in Kimura Shun's territory, they dared not delay in the slightest.

This was an immense, heaven-sent achievement of slaying an Super-spec Lord.

Angus, the top-tier lord of the Purgatory Race, along with the leaders of the Bull Demon Race and Shadow Race, all eagerly charged into Kimura Shun's territory.

However, Dicas was in no hurry to enter the field.
