75: Chapter 75 Lin Xiao's Response

What was taking place in the First Source Sea right now was not some tragic drama of Lin Xiao fighting the Four Great Races alone, but a life-and-death war between five races.

He was not fighting alone.

In a racial war, one move affects the entire situation.

Lin Xiao only needed to focus on killing; as long as he killed enough enemy lords, the Human Race would naturally seize the Opportunity to launch a counterattack.

"The second method is to set traps."

In the Prodigy Group, after waiting for everyone to digest the information, Wei Xuanqi quickly continued.

"They will arrange for a large number of lords' armies to ambush within the territory of the lord being invaded by Lin Xiao."

"At that point, when Lin Xiao invades, he will be surrounded and attacked."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao's expression changed slightly.

This move could be considered unsolvable.

When others invaded his territory, in order to protect his territory coordinates, Lin Xiao would definitely have to retaliate at the fastest speed possible and take them out.

In doing so, he would fall right into their trap.

His own territory was crucial, so Lin Xiao certainly had to arrange for personnel to guard it and could not take all his troops with him.

Entering someone else's territory meant losing the home-field advantage.

Undoubtedly, that would be a tough battle.

"This... is there no way to prevent it in advance? It's impossible that every future invasion will be a trap, right?" someone asked in the Prodigy Group.

"Even if Lin Xiao can crush one such trap, he won't be able to break the second or third..."

A pessimistic mood spread through the group.

No matter how one looked at it, Lin Xiao seemed doomed.

Either he would quickly expose his territory coordinates, or he would willingly walk into someone else's trap.

"There's no need to be too pessimistic. For the Four Great Races to ambush Lin Xiao, they certainly have to mobilize quite a few lords, so the number of such traps won't be high."

"And for the trap to be effective, they must first invade Lin Xiao's territory."

"With fewer numbers, the probability of them successfully invading Lin Xiao's territory decreases, so they must try multiple times."

"A normal invasion takes a long time, and they can't wait that long. Therefore, to increase the frequency of invasions, they can only send their dispatched troops to their deaths."

"This way, they can quickly conduct the next invasion."

"However, throwing away their lives will lower the troops' loyalty. If it drops too much, the heroes and Troop Types will refuse to execute orders. Although there are ways to increase loyalty, in the short term, the effectiveness will get worse and worse."

"Therefore, the number of troops they send to invade will be very small."

"Lin Xiao, if you discover that the number of invaders is very small and they show obvious signs of throwing their lives away, then you need to be careful; it is highly likely a trap."

Wei Xuanqi explained.

These words clarified the situation; traps could be identified in advance.

Of course, this was an open conspiracy in itself.

As long as Lin Xiao didn't want to expose his territory coordinates, even if he knew it was a trap, he would still walk into it.

"Thanks," Lin Xiao said.

"I'm doing this for ourselves as well. Only when you withstand the greatest pressure can we upgrade to Level 3 territories."

"Only then will Yun Zhiyue and the others have a chance to survive."

"If anyone should be thanked, it should be us thanking you."

Wei Xuanqi's words resonated and drew agreement in the Prodigy Group.

"That's right, Boss Lin Xiao, you've attracted the most firepower from the Four Great Races; you can be called the strongest MT."

"My cousin was previously besieged by lords of the Purgatory Race, and his situation was terrible, but now, many of the troops besieging him have left."

The Prodigies said one after another.

"If you want to thank me, you can do it now."

At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly said in the group.

Seeing this, the Prodigies were stunned, but they quickly reacted and expressed their willingness to help, telling Lin Xiao to just speak his mind.

Lin Xiao smiled slightly.

He didn't take the Prodigies' gratitude too seriously, nor was he prepared to ask for an exorbitant price.

The reason he specifically asked for something was that he had his own purpose.

"Leave the Void Monsters within your territories for me to deal with." Without any nonsense, Lin Xiao directly stated his request.

Wei Xuanqi, who was in his own territory, saw Lin Xiao's words and his eyes lit up: "It seems his Opportunity is related to the Void Monster."

Lin Xiao came from an ordinary background, yet he was able to soar into the sky, surpassing those of them who were Prodigies from major forces and Families, becoming an existence of an off-the-charts level; he must have his own Opportunity.

It was just that no one knew what that Opportunity was, and no one dared to risk universal condemnation to probe it.

Now, Wei Xuanqi felt that he had finally guessed the truth.

However, he only satisfied his curiosity and immediately posted in the group: "No problem."

"Same here."

The other Prodigies reacted similarly.

No one expressed any reluctance regarding the Void Monster; after all, killing monsters yielded no experience, and only they could open the regional treasure chests. Since Lin Xiao was willing to help kill the monsters, they were happy to go along with it.

"Damn, my territory hasn't connected to the Void Land yet; I'll go back and open the regional treasure chest right now."

"I'll contact you, Lin Xiao, once it's ready."

"I'll go arrange it immediately as well."

The Prodigies in the Prodigy Group had all finished clearing the eighth layer of the Void Land.

However, since they chose to remain at Level 2 territories, the ninth layer of the Void Land posed a certain threat to them. Therefore, many people left the eighth-layer regional treasure chests unopened to delay the connection of subsequent Void Lands to their territories.

Only a very small number of people did not delay.

Lin Xiao noted down their situations one by one.

By this time, he had already figured it out.

The two methods Dicas would adopt were indeed unsolvable for others, but for Lin Xiao, there was a way to deal with them.

That was to increase his own strength.

One force breaks ten thousand laws.

As long as his strength increased fast enough, even if he were besieged by a large number of Epic Grade heroes and Troop Types, he could easily break the situation, or even counter-kill them.

Lin Xiao possessed the Slaughter Authority; as long as he had enough slaughter points, he could elevate his subordinates' heroes and Troop Types to Epic Grade.

Heroes and Troop Types with attributes several, or even over ten times, that of other Epic Grade units would be absolutely invincible in this First Source Sea.

In order to farm slaughter points, the matter of slaughtering enemy lords could be put aside for now.

...

Lin Xiao contacted Qin Yiyi again.

He obtained some intelligence from her.

Overall, it was similar to what Wei Xuanqi had said, but more detailed.

In addition, it included an analysis report on Dicas, which covered his personality description, work habits, and the Lord Association's judgment.

"Given Dicas's personality, regardless of whether it's setting an ambush or locating, he won't do it right from the start."

Lin Xiao flipped through the analysis report.

This type of strategist would not do anything reckless.

According to the Lord Association's judgment, he would first collect intelligence on Lin Xiao, and only after confirming that he had grasped key information, or believing that he could no longer obtain more intelligence from Lin Xiao, would he launch targeted actions, seeking a one-hit kill.

There was still some time left for Lin Xiao, which could just be used to properly farm some slaughter points.
