124: Chapter 124 Legendary Hero Token, Exposed

Lin Xiao didn't care about whether he could max out his population.

A legendary grade Troop Type occupied a far greater population share than an Epic Grade one. Once he gathered enough slaughter points and started upgrading his Troop Type quality...

...it wouldn't be a question of whether he could max out his population, but rather how many legendary grade Troop Types he could actually convert...

Of course, all of this was still far in the future.

He couldn't even max out the 1,400 population he had right now.

For no other reason than a lack of resources.

Lin Xiao couldn't even max out all his barracks technology, and the same went for recruiting Troop Types.

After weighing his options, he recruited the Burning Sky Flame Dragon and Frost Giant to their limits, recruited 100 Wind Shadow Archers and 100 Black Armor Soldiers each, and could only temporarily put the Dragon Cavalry on hold.

Next, in the face of the enemy's frantic attacks, his focus would be on defense, so the priority of the Dragon Cavalry—which required taking the initiative to attack—was not very high.

As a result, the number of Troop Types in the territory became 800.

After recruiting the Troop Types, Lin Xiao returned to the central area and began upgrading his building Ranks.

Just like at the barracks, with limited resources, it was impossible for him to max out the Ranks of all his buildings.

The limit for rare grade buildings was Level 4, so he couldn't upgrade them even if he wanted to.

Upgrading perfect-grade buildings wasn't very difficult, so Lin Xiao upgraded all of them to Level 5.

Epic Grade buildings, however, were extremely difficult to upgrade.

In the end, Lin Xiao chose the enlightenment mountain and the Eye of Truth.

The importance of the enlightenment mountain went without saying, holding the highest priority among all Epic Grade buildings. As for the Eye of Truth, vision was also of paramount importance.

At the very least, Lin Xiao needed to know where the enemies appeared and from which direction they would strike.

He quickly completed the upgrades for the two Epic Grade buildings.

The Level 5 enlightenment mountain showed no change in its outward appearance, but the number of engravings and patterns on the mountain was much greater, and they were also more profound and mysterious. At the same time, its range of influence had doubled.

The closer one was to the enlightenment mountain, the better the effect.

The Eye of Truth, however, underwent a significant change. The high tower slowly rose toward the sky, finally stopping at a height of seven hundred meters, and the silver-white vertical pupil at the top grew even more massive.

Lin Xiao tried activating it and found that the monitoring range of the Level 5 Eye of Truth had skyrocketed. Now, his entire 30,000-square-kilometer territory fell within its monitoring range.

There were no longer any blind spots.

After doing all this, Lin Xiao finally turned his gaze to his inventory and selected those two legendary grade chests.

“I hope I can get something good.”

Lin Xiao prayed silently in his heart, then chose to open them.

[Congratulations, you have obtained a Random Hero Token (Legendary).]

[Congratulations, you have obtained a Building Blueprint — interdimensional cannon (Legendary).]

“A legendary grade Hero Token.”

Lin Xiao's eyes widened. His luck was truly excellent to have actually opened a Hero Token.

Other legendary grade items would still be subject to the Seal in the Second Source Sea, unable to exert their full power, but heroes and Troop Types were not subject to this restriction.

Among all the legendary grade items that could be opened from chests, the Hero Token should be considered top-tier.

As for the other building blueprint, it was also very good.

At any rate, it was legendary grade, so it couldn't possibly be bad.

Lin Xiao checked it and saw that this interdimensional cannon truly lived up to its legendary grade quality. It could target both air and ground, and could even strike across space at ultra-long ranges.

It was indeed incredibly powerful.

However, first of all, it would be subject to the Seal in the Second Source Sea and wouldn't be much stronger than an Epic Grade defensive building. Secondly, the construction requirements were too high; Lin Xiao couldn't build it at all right now.

He could only leave it in his inventory to gather dust for now.

“A Hero Token, sigh.”

Looking at the legendary grade Hero Token in front of him, Lin Xiao showed a conflicted expression.

For his sixth hero, he had originally made arrangements to recruit a Giant Clan hero, and had even prepared the item for a targeted recruitment.

But now, he had opened a legendary grade Hero Token...

The strength of a legendary grade hero was beyond doubt.

The problem was that once this legendary grade Hero Token was used, it would inevitably summon a Human Race hero.

Such a hero wouldn't be able to command the Frost Giants at all.

Furthermore, what type and class of Human Race hero would be summoned was also random, relying heavily on luck.

As for conducting a legendary grade targeted recruitment...

Lin Xiao couldn't get his hands on an item of that level at all. His only other option was to wait for the end-of-month ranking settlement and exchange for one from the points shop.

...

Just as Lin Xiao was intensely preparing for battle,

the movements of the Four Great Races did not stop either.

After resolving those invading armies, Lin Xiao had not retaliated by going over and wiping out their territories as well.

While doing so avoided the risk of stepping into a trap, it also made the exposure of Lin Xiao's territory coordinates inevitable.

The Sin Race only needed to find those lords who had finished their invasion battles, enter their territories, and perform karmic positioning to lock onto Lin Xiao's territory coordinates.

“We found it, Lord Andrew. We have locked onto Lin Xiao's territory coordinates.”

In the Sin Race regional channel, Drake sent a message to Andrew with immense excitement.

“Very good.”

A cold light flashed in Andrew's eyes.

With the territory coordinates confirmed, next would be a massive invasion.

He was in no hurry to act.

Retaliating and attacking Lin Xiao was not a matter for their Sin Race alone; the hatred other races held for Lin Xiao was no less than that of the Sin Race.

Andrew activated an Epic Grade item used for communication.

In the Second Source Sea, even for different races, contacting each other was much easier than in the First Source Sea.

Three hazy phantoms slowly emerged.

Their identities, like Andrew's, were all leaders ordered by their respective race's upper echelons to seek revenge on Lin Xiao.

“Andrew, contacting us now means you must have confirmed Lin Xiao's territory coordinates.” A Purgatory Race lord, standing a full ten meters tall, revealed a ferocious smile.

He was the Purgatory Race Sixth-order Lord, Osmond.

The representatives of the Bull Demon Race and Shadow Race remained silent.

After all, they were vassal races. Unless they were the absolute top-tier existences of the Bull Demon Race and Shadow Race, in formal settings, they had to follow the lead of the Purgatory Race lord.

“Indeed,” Andrew did not hide it.

To avoid wasting manpower and resources, the task of locking onto Lin Xiao's territory coordinates had been assigned to the Sin Race.

“In that case, prepare to attack,” Osmond said casually.

Clearly, he did not take Lin Xiao seriously.

Even if the opponent was a Super-spec Lord, so what? Could he possibly be a match for Sixth-order Lords like them?

Andrew quickly recounted Lin Xiao's current information.

“A Level 5 territory?”

“He upgraded his territory again in such a short time?”

The expression on Osmond's face quickly turned from initial astonishment to mockery.

“A madman who doesn't know the meaning of death.”

“Heh, this is actually a good thing. It seems we won't have to exert much effort to complete the mission,”

Osmond said contemptuously.

The Bull Demon Race Lord and Shadow Race Lord also showed relaxed expressions.

“Lin Xiao is nothing to fear. What we need to be careful of is the dao protector in his territory.” Andrew was not as dismissive, saying calmly, “The Human Race will not sit by and watch a lord of this level fall so easily.”
