As per the agreement, there was no limit on the number of combatants for this battle.
The reason was that Lin Xiao's Clan was mostly comprised of Fishmen, and while numbers below a thousand were manageable, any more and the disadvantage would become overwhelming.
This was something he didn't hide, nor did he need to.
If this had been before, a Clan primarily consisting of low-level Fishmen like Shang Xiaoxue's wouldn't even get a glance from him, but after the previous battle, he no longer dared to underestimate them.
Even though in the last battle the Fishmen were completely crushed by his Centaurs, he had noticed that Lin Xiao's Fishmen were extraordinary. Had it not been for his well-armed Centaurs, the outcome might have been uncertain with equal equipment, which intrigued him.
