37: Chapter 37 The Lord of the Sin Clan, Initiating the Invasion

"Human Race hero?"

Lin Xiao's gaze swept over the captives, recognizing their identity.

He turned his head to look at Tu Lie, asking about the details of the battle.

The invading army was composed of this Human Race hero and dozens of Human Race soldier types. As for their strength, to describe it in Tu Lie's words, it was pathetic.

"The hero and the soldier types are either Rare or Excellent grade."

Lin Xiao quickly made his judgment.

"Kill them."

He said indifferently.

Hearing Lin Xiao's order, Tu Lie did not hesitate at all. He grabbed the Crusader hero and threw him into the air, and immediately after, a flash of axe light flew up, instantly hacking the opponent into pieces.

[Invasion ended, you have achieved victory. Beginning settlement.]

[You have obtained a War Chest (Gold).]

[You have wiped out all invaders, you have obtained the opponent Lord's information, as well as a chance for revenge.]

At this moment, the System notification sound also rang out, declaring the end of the invasion.

"War Chest, opponent Lord's information, revenge chance."

Lin Xiao muttered.

A War Chest is a different kind of chest from a Region Chest; it can only be obtained through the form of war, and only the victor has it; the loser cannot obtain a War Chest.

Depending on the victor's performance in the war and the army's casualty situation, War Chests of different qualities are obtained.

Opening a War Chest can yield resources and items. The resources are linked to the Territory Rank, while the items are influenced by both the Territory Rank and the quality of the chest.

There are only three qualities of War Chests: Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Gold is the highest.

The higher the quality of the War Chest, the easier it is to get good things.

Lin Xiao's territory wiped out the invaders in a very short time without any casualties. Such a performance could be called perfect, so obtaining a Gold War Chest was also reasonable.

[You have opened a War Chest (Gold) and obtained 100,000 Origin Crystals, 10,000 units of food, 10,000 units of wood, 10,000 units of stone, 1,000 units of iron ore, 100 units of silver ore, and a Gloom Cold Helmet (Rare).]

"Not bad."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly. Unlike Region Chests, War Chests have an upper limit.

The War Chests in the First Source Sea can only yield items up to Rare grade at most. Strange flowers and exotic fruits like the blood red fruit that directly increase attributes, Heaven And Earth Treasures, or items that can accelerate Cultivate like the Frost Bright Pill, can only reach Third-Tier at most.

His territory is only Rank 2, so being able to obtain Rare grade equipment meant his luck was very good.

After handing the Gloom Cold Helmet to Tu Lie, Lin Xiao looked at the other System message.

The invading Lord's information, and a chance for revenge. A cold glint flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes.

One must know that invasion carries risks. Once the invading army is completely wiped out, the invader's information will be exposed to the invaded party.

At the same time, it will allow the opponent to obtain a chance for revenge.

"Co-Prosperity Race Second-Tier Lord, Raymond."

"Territory coordinates, XXXXX.XXXX.XXX"

"So it's a Sin Race Lord, courting death." Lin Xiao sneered.

He knew that currently, the Purgatory Race and Sin Race Lords were definitely searching with all their might for new Lords like them, especially the Prodigies on the prodigy ranking, who were key targets for hunting.

This Raymond actually found him; it was hard to tell if it was his good fortune or misfortune.

"I'll use you to make an example."

Lin Xiao opened the territory panel. After passing the Seven-Day Assessment, an invasion function had appeared on it.

By spending a certain amount of Origin Crystals, one could invade other Lords. Generally speaking, it was a random search for targets, but if one had another person's territory coordinates, they could directly attack the opponent.

As Lin Xiao used the invasion function, a brand-new panel appeared before his eyes, with a bright red icon on it that was exceptionally eye-catching.

This bright red icon was for revenge. Essentially, revenge was just an invasion with a clear target.

It was a time-limited function that would only exist for seven days. If it wasn't used within seven days, Lin Xiao would lose the chance to counterattack the opponent's territory.

After all, he did not know Raymond's territory coordinates. Territory coordinates are a Lord's most core secret.

As far as Lin Xiao knew, to know a Lord's territory coordinates, apart from the latter voluntarily sharing them, one could only obtain them during an invasion by having their own army hold out until the tenth day, or by destroying the opponent's territory to 50%.

"Before invading, first determine the candidates for the expedition and those remaining behind."

This was the first time invading another Lord, and he was going with the intention of completely destroying the opponent. Even though Lin Xiao judged that Raymond's strength was not strong, he dared not be too careless.

He couldn't take the entire army out. After all, if there was one invasion, there would be a second, a third... He had to send troops to garrison.

"This time, I will lead the expedition personally."

With the title of Eternal Lord, Lin Xiao was undoubtedly the number one combat power of the territory, so he was not afraid of going to the battlefield at all.

Lin Xiao quickly made arrangements. The Dragon Cavalry would all remain behind; this invasion was a siege battle, so their use was limited.

The Black Armor Soldierss would all be taken. Half of the Wind Shadow Archers and Frost Giants would be brought along; these two Perfect grade ranged soldier types could exert extremely astonishing effects whether in offense or defense.

As for the three heroes, Jiang Yao would stay to guard the territory, while Tu Lie and Zhong Yue would accompany Lin Xiao on the expedition.

[Do you wish to spend 100,000 Origin Crystals to initiate the invasion?]

"Confirm."

After Lin Xiao made his choice.

"Boom~"

A space-time channel appeared before him, and Lin Xiao led his army into it.

Meanwhile, in a heavily guarded territory.

"What, the invasion ended, I was defeated?"

Hearing the System notification ringing in his ears, Raymond stood up abruptly, his eyes full of shock.

He could accept the failure of the invasion, but this defeat was too fast. It wasn't even ten minutes...

This indicated that there was an insurmountable gap in strength between the two sides. If it weren't impossible for a Second-Tier Lord to search for a Third-Tier Lord, Raymond would have suspected whether he had invaded a Third-Tier Lord.

"Could it be that the opponent is a Human Race Prodigy?"

"Is my luck that good?"

Raymond was a bit dazed.

He had indeed carried out the search with the goal of finding this year's Human Race Prodigies, but he hadn't expected to find one on the first try.

After all, there are endless Lords of ten thousand races in the First Source Sea; wanting to find a specific target is countless times harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

Adding qualifiers could narrow the search range for a directed search, but the cost in Origin Crystals would increase significantly.

Raymond could only ensure that what he searched for was a Human Race Second-Tier Lord. As for whether it was from the batch that had just entered the Chaos Source Sea, he couldn't guarantee that.

"Regardless, the possibility that the opponent is a Human Race Prodigy is still very high."

"Even if it's just a suspected target, reporting it can still earn a reward."

Raymond's spirits lifted slightly. However, just as he wanted to report it, he suddenly froze.

"Wait, I don't know the opponent's territory coordinates..."

The army was wiped out too quickly; he hadn't obtained any useful information.

"Forget it. As long as there was a connection, a trace must exist. It's unlikely I'll be able to find that Human Race Lord's territory, but the big shots of the Heretic Hunting Bureau might not."

Thinking of this, Raymond hurriedly opened the regional channel, wanting to contact the person in charge of the Heretic Hunting Bureau.

Just as he was preparing to input the information, suddenly, the light screen in front of Raymond was forcibly closed. Immediately after, a System notification rang out.

[Your territory is being invaded.]

"Space-time tremor, damn it, I'm being invaded." Raymond cursed loudly.

"It's that Human Race Lord, he's attacking." Raymond immediately realized. The army he had sent out just a few minutes ago had just been annihilated, and then his own territory was invaded. If it wasn't the opponent counterattacking, he could take his own head off and kick it like a ball.
