The Era of Gods-Chapter 631 - Fifth Level Crowman Arrives

Chapter 631: Chapter 631 Fifth Level Crowman Arrives

The specific recovery speed is related to the resources obtained; the more souls and blood-flesh essence, the faster his strength will recover.

His True Body is comparable to a Medium Divine Power of Innate Titan Ancient Gods, combined with once True Body in the Wizard World and the soul that became incredibly powerful after devouring countless other souls—the unity of these three factors means it won’t take long for his strength to enter the Rank 8 echelon, becoming one of the top powerhouses of this world.

In the Wizard World, Medium Divine Power, Powerful Divine Power, and Super Divine Power all belong to the Rank 8 echelon, which also represents the level with the greatest range of power.

Once he reaches that stage, even without the strength bestowed by the All-Embracing Progenitor, he can ensure his memories will not be lost.

For Lin Xiao, this means that his adventurous descent into the Wizard World now has a safety net. As long as his memories remain, even if he fails to compete for the Myriad Images God Temple, he will not despair.

As long as the memories remain, with the Creation Rubik’s Cube in hand, he can always make his way to the pinnacle of the Wizard World step by step.

...

He dares not assure whether he can become a progenitor comparable to great divine power, but as long as he becomes a Fifth Level wizard, the Wizard World’s suppression on him will disappear completely, and he can use the Creation Rubik’s Cube to contact his several incarnations that he left outside.

As long as one of the incarnations reaches a strength comparable to Powerful Divine Power, he could communicate his True Body with the incarnation through the Creation Rubik’s Cube, then leverage the force of the Super War Fortress in the Fifth War Zone to forcibly communicate with Gaia Will, and forcibly pull his True Body back to the Main World to escape.

Conscious will…

Creation Rubik’s Cube facilitating communication inside and outside the Wizard World…

A True Body and incarnation comparable to Powerful Divine Power…

The Super War Fortress fully engaged…

The identity of a child of Gaia…

In fact, apart from the necessity of a conscious will, the remaining four conditions only require two to be met to attempt to break away from the Wizard World; the more conditions that are met, the easier the success.

The reason Jin Sisi’s father could not leave was that the conditions were not fully met.

One can be sure that his will was conscious; after all, Jin Sisi said that before her father entered the Wizard World, he was a Rank 19 of Super Divine Power level—in the Wizard World, he could certainly remain conscious.

But he couldn’t meet two of the remaining four conditions at the same time, which trapped him here.

However, Lin Xiao personally believes that his cheap father-in-law may not want to leave on his own. Putting himself in his shoes within the Wizard World, with the identity of a cheap father-in-law, there’s no reason he couldn’t meet the remaining two conditions.

First, before entering the Wizard World, there’s no reason he wouldn’t have a backup plan. Communicating inside and outside the Wizard World might not be possible, but preparing an incarnation to hide away isn’t impossible.

Additionally, with his status and position, paying a great price to have a Super War Fortress activated once would definitely not be an issue.

Then, with the strength and status of the father-in-law, he might not have a child of Gaia like Lin Xiao, but he definitely has very high authority, which could substitute for the child of Gaia.

Considering all this, Lin Xiao thinks there are many suspicions about his father-in-law being trapped in the Wizard World—it doesn’t make much sense.

But he is indeed trapped.

So there are only two possibilities: one is that the father-in-law sees hope in becoming a progenitor and is unwilling to leave on his own accord.

The second possibility is that something unexpected happened, causing the backup plan he left behind to fail.

Both possibilities are significant, and he’s uncertain about what happened. He can only try to find the father-in-law to know for sure.

In the meantime, the Expeditionary Army and the Grey Crow people entered a stalemate. They were temporarily unable to attack, while the Grey Crow people were busy rebuilding their camp and regathering their routed troops. But the skirmishes between scouting troops from both sides never stopped.

Every few days, Grey Crow lord regiments of various sizes would join the enemy camp. The Grey Crow’s strength was continually growing, while their own remained unchanged. The order from the commander of the Expedition Base was for them to hold out for three months until the main forces defeated another route before receiving support.

Seeing that if things continued this way they would surely be doomed, he might have Fifth Level strength and could take on all Rank 4 powerhouses on the opposite side alone, but the enemy wasn’t foolish. With the previous lessons learned, they wouldn’t be negligent again, allowing him to successfully launch a surprise attack. Resolute in defense, they could not be troubled by him in the short term.

At that time, it would come down to the strength of the subordinates on both sides. Lin Xiao felt that his chances were not great—it was simply that the numbers were too disparate.

His side only had one and a half divisions, while the enemy had mobilized the strength of a nation. Crucially, the stored food supplies were absolutely insufficient to last them three months.

Considering the commanding skills of the enemy, Lin Xiao felt that they would attempt an attack before the three months were up.

Defending was difficult, retreating was even less possible.

Lin Xiao felt he needed to find a way to break the stalemate.

He already had an idea, but he was hesitating.

In the meantime, he paid a visit to Nolan, the Feathered Serpent Race individual who was a bit better than before, barely recovering to Rank 4 status, but this had little effect on the overall situation.

A week later, an army of over a hundred thousand left the Expedition Army Camp.

After receiving the news, the Grey crow man commander fell silent for a while, then ordered a full attack on the Expedition Army Camp.

Lin Xiao led the main forces to the camp, and the two sides battled for a day with no victor determined.

Another three days passed, and once again an army of over a hundred thousand left the Expedition Army Camp.

The Grey crow man commander ordered a full attack on the Expedition Army Camp again, and Lin Xiao once more led the main forces to block the Grey Crow people’s assault.

After the second week, another hundred thousand troops left the Expedition Army Camp.

The Grey Crow people’s commander continued to lead the main assault, and the two sides fought a day-long battle with no conclusive outcome.

At this point, the Expedition Army Camp had lost over three hundred thousand people, but the main force was still present.

Not only the Grey Crow people were baffled by what he was doing, but even Nolan was unclear and specifically came to inquire. Lin Xiao’s response was classified.

Afterward, every three days, an army of around a hundred thousand would leave the camp from the rear.

Every time this happened, the Grey Crow commander would send troops to probe the reality of the situation, and each time Lin Xiao would personally appear to defend the camp.

Until a month and a half later, when the auxiliary and logistics troops within the vast Expedition Army Camp had almost completely withdrawn, Marshal Gray Crow stared at the sand table deep in thought, and a senior officer asked:

“God of War, could the enemy be trying to escape by doing this?”

The Grey Crow Marshal shook his head:

“I’ve thought about that, but it’s not considered escaping as long as their main force hasn’t fled. We’ve been firmly watching their main force, and it hasn’t left our sight.”

He pondered, indeed harboring some doubts, as he had never seen such tactics before.

Normally, if a retreat were planned, it would involve using auxiliary and logistics troops as cannon fodder to cover the main force, not using the main force to cover the cannon fodder. This made no sense and had never occurred in the entire history of the Crowman civilization.

There may have been instances where the main force mixed in with cannon fodder to retreat, but with every attack he ordered to test the waters, there was no way the enemy’s main force could have withdrawn.

It wasn’t just him who was puzzled; everyone was.

In the camp, Nolan approached Lin Xiao and asked:

“The auxiliary and logistics troops are almost gone, now the camp only houses us and less than three hundred thousand auxiliary soldiers. How are we going to leave?”

Lin Xiao said in surprise:

“Why do we need to withdraw?”

Nolan was taken aback by the question, and after a brief pause, enlightenment flashed across his face as he held up his thumb:

“Brilliant!”

He understood; Lin Xiao had no intention of retreating the main force from the start. His sole purpose had been to withdraw the more than a million logistics troops from the camp, who consumed a lot of rations but had little combat power, leaving the main combat troops and the auxiliary ones with some fighting ability.

The biggest problem now was the lack of sufficient food, but with around one million and five hundred thousand non-combatants gone, the saved rations could last them for half a year without issues.

Without concern for their rear, they could devote themselves to defense, and holding out for three months would not be a problem.

So, whether it was Nolan or the Crowman commander, who was known as a god of war, they had overthought the situation. There were no complex thoughts on Lin Xiao’s part; it was they who had complicated things and fallen into a cognitive trap.

By now, they had probably realized his tactic, or they might have had such suspicions after a few previous occasions but didn’t want to admit they hadn’t seen through it.

Moreover, even if they knew, there was nothing they could do. Those who had withdrawn were only cannon fodder; intercepting them would accomplish nothing.

Withdrawing the burdens to reduce the load made them more agile in battle; the Grey Crow commander wouldn’t know what hit him, and for half a month there were no battles.

Two months passed in the span of three, and according to the legion commander’s order, they only needed to hold out for one more month.

But Lin Xiao did not want to squat in the camp every day; he went out daily to provoke the enemy in front of the Grey Crow camp.

Unfortunately, the two Rank 4 powerhouses he had effortlessly slain before were such an astonishing feat that, even though there were now up to eight Rank 4 powerhouses gathered in the Crowman camp, no one dared to accept his challenge.

This suited him just fine; it was all about buying time. Once the time was up and the legion commander’s support arrived, they could counterattack.

However, things often do not unfold as one might wish. Just before the three-month deadline was about to end, on a certain day while chatting idly with Nolan in the camp, Lin Xiao’s face suddenly changed, and he abruptly stood up, looking towards the direction of the Crowman camp.

A very powerful aura had made its presence known within the Crowman camp to his senses.

“A Fifth Level Legion level powerhouse!”

Nolan also sensed the imposing aura and reacted even more strongly than Lin Xiao, jumping up and shouting loudly:

“The enemy has a Fifth Level powerhouse, we must retreat immediately.”

Lin Xiao shook his head and said:

“It’s too late. Don’t you know the capabilities of the enemy commander? Since he let us know, it means he’s ready; if we dare to retreat, it’ll play right into his hands and result in a total collapse.”

In urgency, Nolan said:

“But if we don’t retreat, we are doomed! Neither you nor I can withstand a Rank 5 powerhouse.”

“That’s not necessarily true!”

“What?”

Nolan didn’t catch on for a moment and asked subconsciously.

Lin Xiao didn’t answer, with his hands clasped behind his back, he walked out of the tent. His aura swiftly rose, quickly surpassing the limits of Rank 4 and stepping into the same realm as the distant imposing aura.

Behind him, the Feathered Serpent Nolan opened his mouth in surprise and said:

“You, you’ve advanced… no, you’ve always been at Rank 5, haven’t you?”

Lin Xiao looked up to the dim sky and muttered to himself:

“If I kill a Rank 5 Grey Crow person and devour them, I can make one step further in solidifying my True Body.”

He had realized that these powerful Crowmen contained an incredibly powerful bloodline force within their bodies after devouring two Rank 4 Crowmen, which was greatly beneficial for the growth of his true body.

He had long wished to devour several more, but the Crowmen hadn’t given him the chance.
