74: Chapter 74 Impossible to Guard Against

[Battle ended. You have won this invasion battle. Starting settlement.]

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

...

After ending the invasion and returning to his territory, Lin Xiao started to ponder.

Dicas wanted to test him and collect intelligence on him; he certainly couldn't stop that.

However, relying solely on such methods to figure out all of Lin Xiao's strength and hidden trump cards was certainly unrealistic.

In this level of invasion battle, Lin Xiao's power far exceeded what was needed, so it was impossible to force out his true strength.

Dicas couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

Therefore, the other party surely had other methods to target him.

Lin Xiao thought about it carefully, but had no leads.

At the end of the day, his experience and insight regarding lord wars were still too little; schools wouldn't teach knowledge at this level, and his parents were merely ordinary lords.

Methods for dealing with a Prodigy, especially one who was an existence beyond specifications, were far beyond what ordinary lords could imagine.

"It's not a big problem."

Lin Xiao didn't panic. Just because he didn't know didn't mean others didn't either.

Opening the regional channel, he quickly contacted Jin Ruxuan and Qin Yiyi, and even sent an inquiry message in the Prodigy Group.

"Big Shot Lin Xiao is here."

"Worshiping the Big Shot."

"Second, come out quickly and look at the deity."

In the Prodigy Group, a large number of messages popped up instantly, forming a sharp contrast to when Lin Xiao had first joined.

These Prodigies were very well-informed; furthermore, the Lord Association had already started to build momentum for Lin Xiao in the Main World.

Even if they lacked insight, the forces and Family behind them wouldn't be wrong. Therefore, the Prodigies all knew that Lin Xiao was an existence of an beyond-specification level.

This was the thickest possible thigh to hug.

If it weren't for a bit of Prodigy restraint, they would have loved to pounce on Lin Xiao, hug his leg, and fight to call him 'Big Brother'.

Regarding Lin Xiao's question, they also pulled out all the stops to offer advice and strategies for him.

Among them, the content posted by the group owner, Wei Xuanqi, was the most comprehensive and had the most value.

"This is the First Source Sea; overly powerful methods simply cannot be deployed. According to my guess, Dicas wants to target you, Lin Xiao, and there are only two methods."

"The first is positioning."

"As long as they can determine your territory's coordinates, they can immediately summon a large army to besiege you."

"You, Lin Xiao, are a beyond-specification lord, but no matter how well you can fight, can you fight against dozens, hundreds, or even more veteran lords invading in unison?"

"This is the most lethal finishing move."

"Perhaps you, Lin Xiao, are strong enough that you aren't afraid even if besieged, but never underestimate the Four Great Races' determination to strangle a beyond-specification lord."

"They will certainly be willing to take out a large number of Epic Grade Hero Tokens and troop talismans to arm those invading veteran lords."

Lin Xiao was originally somewhat indifferent to Wei Xuanqi's words.

He wasn't afraid of any siege.

After all, his territory's defense was not weak; it was no worse than a veteran lord's.

The most important thing was his army, which was his source of confidence. No matter how many perfect-grade or rare grade heroes and troop types came, could they block the Meteorite falling from the sky? Could they block his four beyond-specification heroes?

Even if there were too many enemies to kill even after fighting until exhaustion, he could still retreat into his city to recover his state.

Lin Xiao was not afraid of a war of attrition at all.

As long as there was time to Cultivate, his army's strength could continuously improve, getting stronger the more they fought.

If there was anything that truly made Lin Xiao somewhat wary, it was the opponent's top-tier lords.

The strength of Epic Grade heroes and troop types was too powerful.

If few came, they were no threat to Lin Xiao, but if many came, it would be a huge threat.

However, the number of top-tier lords of the Four Great Races in the First Source Sea was not large, and they were basically all besieging the top-tier lords of the Human Race, unable to spare themselves.

They couldn't possibly reassign all those top-tier lords to besiege Lin Xiao, right? If they really did that, the Human Race's top-tier lords would be liberated.

Therefore, Lin Xiao was not worried.

But now, hearing Wei Xuanqi say this, he suddenly realized.

The Lord Association, in order to let this batch of Prodigies survive in the First Source Sea, could provide one Epic Grade item per person.

Then the Four Great Races could absolutely, in order to take him out, take out a large number of Epic Grade Hero Tokens and troop talismans to arm the veteran lords invading him.

This determination was not hard to make.

"Then wouldn't it be fine if Lin Xiao doesn't expose his territory coordinates?"

"With his strength, he can kill one for every one that comes. As long as he kills all invading lords, the Four Great Races simply can't obtain his territory coordinates, right?"

Someone asked in the group.

"Hehe, you are thinking too simply."

Wei Xuanqi sneered.

"You should all know that one can locate a territory through Karma connections."

"Lin Xiao can indeed kill all invading lords and let the Karma between them vanish, but what if there are fish that slip through the net?"

"What if a third-party lord's heroes and troop types withstand Lin Xiao's attack and don't die?"

"I can clearly tell you that this can also create a Karma connection."

"Of course, such a Karma connection is very weak; in the First Source Sea, it's impossible to locate a territory based on this alone."

"But what if this experience happens not once, but many times?"

Lin Xiao was shocked.

He also hadn't expected that it could actually be like this.

This move could almost be said to be unsolvable.

Just like how he didn't go looking for those "eyes".

Lin Xiao couldn't possibly dig three feet deep to search for potential lurkers after destroying the opponent's city.

In fact, even if he searched, it would mostly be useless.

If he were Dicas, he would definitely have complete arrangements, such as arranging an Epic Grade hero with extremely strong life-saving abilities to immediately trigger some item after withstanding a hit from the Meteorite, teleporting the opponent to another place.

The Prodigy Group also fell silent.

"It really is impossible to guard against."

"If that's the case, doesn't it mean that no one can hide their own territory coordinates?"

Someone in the group lamented.

"Whether you can hide your territory coordinates depends on how much the other party values you."

"This kind of method, which uses indirect means to continuously accumulate Karma connections, requires a very, very large investment. You and I simply don't have the qualifications to be treated this way by the Four Great Races."

"But Lin Xiao, he has that qualification."

The others were all silenced by Wei Xuanqi's words, and for a moment didn't know whether they should be glad that they weren't qualified enough...

"Thanks for the reminder," Lin Xiao posted.

He also saw it now.

Territory coordinates couldn't be hidden forever, but it wouldn't be an easy task for the Four Great Races to locate his territory; not only was the investment large, but the time required would certainly be very long as well.

During this period, his slaughter would absolutely not stop.

"Let's just see whether I kill fast enough, or you find me first."

A cold glint flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes.
