73: Chapter 73 Dicas's Methods

Dicas was not in a good mood.

Originally, everything was developing in a direction favorable to the Co-Prosperity Race and the Four Great Races.

As long as they developed step-by-step, they would definitely be able to wipe out the Human Race's active forces in the First Source Sea and deal them a heavy blow.

Anyone with a bit of knowledge knew the importance of the First Source Sea.

The Human Race would absolutely never give it up.

This way, they could use the First Source Sea to continuously bleed the Human Race.

Even if the Human Race launched a counterattack later and managed to regain their footing in the First Source Sea, it wouldn't matter.

Because to achieve this goal, the Human Race would inevitably pay an extremely heavy price.

The advantage in a racial war was accumulated bit by bit like this.

But Dicas never expected that at this critical juncture, an outlier-level Lin Xiao would suddenly emerge.

An existence of this level could not be nurtured by ordinary world wonders.

He didn't know what kind of astonishing encounters Lin Xiao had experienced, but he knew very well that an existence of this level had the ability to flip the chessboard.

One careless move, and the entire game would be lost.

Dicas would never allow the victory he had worked so hard to establish to be ruined.

"Next, I will ask, and you will answer," Dicas said calmly, looking at Drake and Matsumoto Toshio.

Both of them were mid-tier lords, yet facing Dicas, who was only Tier 3, they didn't dare to be careless in the slightest and revealed all the information they knew.

However, they also knew very little.

After all, all the lords who had contact with Lin Xiao were dead, and not a single piece of useful information had been sent back.

"Interesting. Lin Xiao is an outlier-level lord, so Yager of the Purgatory Race was most likely killed by him."

"In that case, he has dozens of Epic Grade Dragons in his hands."

Dicas's eyes lit up slightly; this was a very important piece of information.

As for Yager's death, those responsible for the investigation were more inclined to believe that a top-tier lord from another race had done it.

But Dicas now boldly guessed that it was Lin Xiao.

Flying units.

Epic Grade Dragons.

Piecing these key bits of information together, he immediately guessed Lin Xiao's tactics.

Epic Grade Dragons generally mastered powerful magic skills. As long as these Epic Grade Dragons were strong enough, they could completely ignore the layers of defense on the ground and strike directly at the vital points.

"Yes, it must be so."

"This is the fundamental reason why Lin Xiao could kill so many veteran lords in a single day."

Dicas had guessed the truth.

However, to deal with Lin Xiao, guessing alone was far from enough. He first had to verify this information, and secondly, he needed more useful intelligence to know what level of strength Lin Xiao had reached.

Only then could he make targeted arrangements to ensure absolutely nothing went wrong.

Dicas quickly went into action. He possessed immense authority; the upper echelons of the Sin Race had placed their hopes of dealing with Lin Xiao on him, allowing him to mobilize any Sin Clan Lord in the First Source Sea.

Of course, dealing with an outlier-level lord like Lin Xiao was not a matter for the Sin Race alone.

Dicas quickly contacted the other three races, asking them to take action alongside him.

...

Lin Xiao was still slaughtering.

If he wasn't on the path of revenge, he was on the way to invade.

He wanted to kill as many hostile lords as possible before entering the Second Source Sea.

As the strength of his heroes and units grew stronger, his slaughter efficiency also became higher and higher.

Killing seventy-three hostile lords in a day was just the beginning.

"Lin Xiao, the Sin Race is already taking action. The person they want to deal with is you."

"The one leading the operation is Dicas of the Sin Race. You must be careful. He is a top-tier lord, insidious and cunning. The current situation of our Human Race in the First Source Sea has a lot to do with him."

During one of his collections of new resources and territory coordinates, Qin Yiyi suddenly informed him of this intelligence.

Lin Xiao was not surprised that the Lord Association would know about the internal actions of the Sin Race.

It was normal for there to be Sin Race spies within the Human Race, and Human Race infiltrators within the Sin Race. After all, two thousand years ago, both were still part of the Human Race.

However, the infiltrators' status was likely not high, otherwise Yun Zhiyue and the others wouldn't have fallen into the trap.

"Dealing with me?"

"Do you have that Dicas's territory coordinates?"

Lin Xiao's idea was very simple: just charge straight over and kill the leader.

Although the opponent was a top-tier lord, his own strength was even greater.

"We don't have Dicas's territory coordinates..."

Qin Yiyi was somewhat helpless.

Dicas was undoubtedly an extremely cunning opponent; he had hidden his territory coordinates very well.

Although the Human Race had also tried to target him and obtain his territory coordinates, before they could succeed, they had already become too busy taking care of themselves.

"Also, the Lord Association is preparing to make your battle achievements public and publicize them well. What do you think?" Qin Yiyi added.

Not publicizing Lin Xiao before was to protect him.

Now that the hostile races already knew about Lin Xiao's threat, there was no longer any need to hide it.

The current situation of the Human Race indeed required a hero to step forward and boost everyone's confidence.

"Sure."

Lin Xiao did not refuse.

...

"Huh?"

Standing on the Burning Sky Flame Dragon, Lin Xiao looked at the large number of flying units appearing ahead, his brow furrowing slightly.

He keenly sensed that something was wrong.

The opponent's flying units were simply too numerous, numbering in the thousands.

And they were not of a single unit type.

Wind-riding Eagles, Chimeras, Cloud Serpents...

It was simply a hodgepodge.

Having flying units wasn't strange, but having so many was abnormal.

A Tier 3 territory only had a total population of 100,000. Looking at the number of these flying units, they almost occupied the entire population capacity.

Such an extreme unit composition could never appear on a veteran lord.

"It's a probe, and also a way to gather intelligence."

Lin Xiao realized in his heart. It seemed that Dicas already knew he possessed twenty Epic Grade Dragons.

Otherwise, there would be no need to deploy so many flying units.

The battle ended very quickly.

These flying units were merely numerous, but their strength was uneven. They were either newly summoned or of low quality, failing to pose even the slightest threat to Lin Xiao's army.

However, the opponent probably didn't expect these flying units to threaten Lin Xiao either; they were merely testing him.

Lin Xiao's gaze slowly swept across the land.

Unsurprisingly, there must be a pair or several pairs of eyes in this territory, taking in the entire high-altitude battle.

If intelligence couldn't be transmitted out, it would be meaningless.

Dicas naturally wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

These "eyes" likely belonged to other lords. After Lin Xiao killed the invading lord, they could return to their own territories and spread the news.

Lin Xiao quickly withdrew his gaze. He didn't waste time looking for these eyes.

It wasn't realistic.

Trying to find "eyes" that were intentionally hidden was no easy task. Even if he bombarded the entire territory, there was no guarantee that none would slip through the net.
