112: Chapter 112 Great Victory, Arrangements

Though he was pleased with himself, Lin Xiao did not underestimate other Tier 5 lords.

Although this Sin Race army was said to be a Tier 5 army, in reality, there were only three thousand Tier 5 Troop Types.

If this ten-thousand-strong army had consisted entirely of Tier 5 Troop Types, or if they had mastered powerful military formation techniques, this battle would likely not have been won so easily.

Even if Lin Xiao had still won in the end, casualties would have been inevitable.

And this was only an ordinary Tier 5 lord.

In the Second Source Sea, only Tier 5 lords with Epic Heroes and Troop Types were considered veteran lords.

And above veteran lords, there were top-tier Tier 5 lords who possessed legendary grade heroes and Troop Types, as well as the even stronger Super-spec Lords.

Of course, the latter two were actually extremely rare.

legendary grade heroes and Troop Types were far more difficult to obtain than Epic Grade ones.

Even with backgrounds like Wei Xuanqi and Yun Zhiyue, without special circumstances, it was impossible for them to possess legendary grade heroes and Troop Types at Tier 5.

These two classes of lords either fell tragically under the heavy siege of their enemies or had ascended long ago; they wouldn't stay at Tier 5 for long.

Shaking his head, Lin Xiao quickly pulled his thoughts back.

There was another reason why he had resolved to fight the Tier 5 army of the Sin Clan Lord: Tier 5 lords could also invade his territory.

The greatest threat to his territory actually came from Tier 5 lords.

Gaining some understanding of these guys' strength through battle could be considered preparing for a rainy day.

...

In the city behind, Lin Zhenyue and Human Lord were also watching the massive battle unfolding ahead.

They were very worried that Lin Xiao's army would suffer heavy losses.

When they saw Lin Xiao's army unleash a burst of power, inflicting heavy casualties on the opposing side, they beamed with joy.

But seeing the Sin Race army gradually stabilize, their smiles suddenly vanished.

After all, they weren't completely ignorant.

While the burst of Epic Grade Troop Types was terrifying, if they couldn't crush the opponent before the burst ended, the situation would not be optimistic.

After all, the gap in strength and numbers between the two sides was right there.

The subsequent changes occurred in the blink of an eye.

From Jiang Yao charging the enemy line to the Dragon Cavalry trampling the enemy formation, the battle shifted dramatically in an instant.

As if in the blink of an eye, the Sin Race army collapsed.

"It's over just like that?"

Human Lord was still in disbelief.

They knew all too well how powerful the opposing Sin Race army was.

Yet at this moment, they had been defeated so quickly, making it hard to believe.

"It's over."

Lin Zhenyue took a deep breath, intense shock visible in his eyes.

"So this is an Super-spec Lord. They truly are unbelievably powerful."

"Our son's strength is already beyond our imagination."

Lin Xiao had only just upgraded to a Level 4 territory, yet he already possessed such formidable strength. Lin Zhenyue could not imagine how powerful he would become once he established a firm foothold in the Second Source Sea.

"So what?"

"No matter how strong he is, he's still my son."

Human Lord glared.

"Hahaha, yes, he's our son."

Lin Zhenyue also laughed.

...

While there was laughter and joy on this side, on the other side, Fujita Takuya's face was as grim as a funeral.

At this moment, on the light screen projected by the territory core, the damage level of the opponent's territory was stuck at 49% and did not budge again.

He had lost his gamble, and all his previous efforts were in vain.

The opponent's reinforcements were not some paper tiger meant to intimidate, but an incredibly powerful army.

As soon as the two sides clashed, Fujita Takuya immediately sensed that something was wrong. After all, his army was suffering casualties too quickly. Unfortunately, by then, both sides had already entered a state of battle, and he couldn't retreat even if he wanted to.

He could only watch helplessly as the army he had sent out was completely wiped out.

He had suffered heavy losses in this invasion.

"Damn it."

Fujita Takuya clenched his fists tightly, yet there was nothing he could do.

Such was the war between lords; one could either soar to the heavens or fall into eternal damnation, all decided in a single thought.

...

After completely wiping out the Sin Race army, Lin Xiao reunited with his parents.

Lin Zhenyue and Human Lord were actually both fifty years old.

It was only after getting married and having children that they decided to enter the Chaos Source Sea to become lords.

Thirty was the age to venture and make a name for oneself.

For ordinary people, fifty was already considered middle-to-old age, but for a Tier 5 lord with a Lifespan of three thousand years, it was still the infant stage...

Both of them looked very young, not much older than Lin Xiao, though their bearing was more mature.

"By the way, did the people from the Lord Association contact you?"

After exchanging warm greetings, Lin Xiao asked about the main business.

"They contacted us. They said you became a Prodigy on the prodigy ranking, and according to policy, they will grant us some protection."

"They also said we could integrate our territories into the Tianwu Alliance's resettlement territories. It's very safe there, and unless the Tianwu Alliance in the Second Source Sea is destroyed, we won't face any more life-and-death crises. They also mentioned they could tilt resources in our favor..."

"We didn't agree immediately; we wanted to hear your opinion first."

Lin Zhenyue did not hide anything and spoke directly. It was basically the same as what President Gu Yizhou had told Lin Xiao.

Interestingly, back then, Lin Xiao had not made the decision for his parents, and now, Lin Zhenyue and Human Lord did not act arbitrarily either, wanting to hear Lin Xiao's thoughts instead.

"No matter what you choose, I can accept it," Lin Xiao said in a deep voice. "Dad, Mom, there's no need for you to choose a path you don't want to take just for my sake."

"Don't underestimate your son, and I don't need you to sacrifice anything for me."

Lin Xiao actually understood his parents very well.

Since they hadn't made a decision so quickly, it meant they weren't very interested in that safer resettlement path.

The reason they hesitated was mainly because they didn't want to become a burden or weakness for Lin Xiao.

"Well, actually, your mom and I don't really want to integrate our territories into the Tianwu Alliance's resettlement territories."

Seeing how candid Lin Xiao was, Lin Zhenyue also spoke his mind.

Integrating a territory is easy, but separating it is difficult.

While resettlement territories were safe, there would be no further development, and they would see the limit of their lives.

For Lin Zhenyue and Human Lord to build everything from scratch and rapidly become Tier 5 lords in just over a decade showed that they also had the ambition to climb higher and were unwilling to just retire like this.

"I'll contact the people from the Lord Association in a bit," Lin Zhenyue said excitedly.

The resource tilting that the Lord Association provided to the families of Prodigies naturally couldn't compare to that of the Prodigies themselves, but it could still compensate for their weak Foundation to some extent.

"When you ask for resources, you can try to see if you can get a perfect-grade auxiliary Cultivation building."

Lin Xiao's heart stirred, and he suddenly spoke.

"Alright."

Lin Zhenyue did not hesitate.

They naturally trusted their Prodigy son one hundred percent.

Lin Xiao's eyes flickered. He had a bold idea that could guarantee the safety of his parents' territories without affecting his own strength. However, this idea was still immature, and there were many difficulties to resolve, so he was in no hurry to speak it aloud.
