As per the agreement, there was no limit on the number of troops for this battle.
This was because Lin Xiao's Clan was mainly composed of Fishman Followers. If the number of soldiers on each side did not exceed a thousand, it would be manageable, but having more than that would be too disadvantageous for him.
He didn't hide this fact, nor was there a need to.
In the past, Shang Xiaoxue would not have even given a second glance to such a clan that mainly comprised the lower-race Fishmen, but after the previous battle, he dared not underestimate them anymore.
Although during the last battle, the Fishmen were crushed when they encountered his Centaur forces, he could see that Lin Xiao's Fishmen were not ordinary. If it hadn't been for his Centaurs being heavily armed to the teeth, the outcome would be uncertain with the same equipment, and this intrigued him.
