Most of the humans in this world are enhancement wizards who strengthen themselves by obtaining the blood of powerful creatures. In fact, strictly speaking, enhancement wizards are also a type of blood wizards. The main reason is that most humans are not born with blood and can only obtain blood through acquired means and integrate it into themselves.
There is a huge fortress on the island where the Thirteenth Legion is stationed, with a cross-world portal inside. It is said that this portal was built by the first and most powerful emperor of the Sea King Empire in ancient times. It can communicate with other worlds at the cost of huge resources, thus establishing a channel between the two worlds.
There are a total of twenty-one such portals, one controlled by each of the eighteen sea kings, and the remaining three are in the hands of the Sea Emperor. The one guarded by the Thirteenth Legion is just one of them.
After Lin Xiao took over the Third Division, he observed the portal up close.
This thing is a special wizard formation, and the method of building a portal itself is not a big secret. With his status and authority, he is qualified to learn it. However, the many conditions required to build a portal cannot be met by ordinary sea kings.
Not to mention the precious materials that are needed, no matter how precious they are, the empire has colonized foreign worlds for so long that the reserves will not be small, basically everything is available.
The most critical factor is actually strength. The empire does not have a super strong person like the first generation of Poseidon, and does not have enough strength to break through the channel between the two worlds out of thin air. The first transmission when the portal is activated requires opening a space channel to a different world out of thin air, and this requirement will no longer be needed afterwards. This requires super strong strength, at least a level seven wizard.
Since the first generation of Sea Queen, there has been no new level seven expert, and all generations of Sea Queens have been level six experts.
Of course, if a seventh-level Poseidon were to be born, he might not be willing to do this. The space gates the empire already has are sufficient, so there is no need to build another one.
After all, if the appearance of each portal is not caused by the Sea Emperor, it means the birth of a new super-powerful Sea King, which will cause disputes within the empire.
Although he became the deputy commander of the 13th Corps and took over the 3rd Division, Lin Xiao still had nothing to do at this time. He had no mission at the moment. He spent most of his time resting or inspecting the troops. Occasionally, he would get in touch with his colleagues and subordinates. The days passed like this.
Most of the members of the legion are sea creatures, and there are not many humans. In this world, sea creatures dominate the world, and humans are one of the major races.
Before Lin Xiao came, the highest-ranking human in the Thirteenth Legion was a deputy battalion commander, a level-three enhanced wizard. He was not very powerful and his status was certainly not very high.
So when Lin Xiao arrived, the human officers in the legion immediately united under him and obeyed his orders.
Well, in fact, most of the members of the Third Division are humans.
Almost a year of boring days passed, and one day he suddenly discovered that the number of reconnaissance troops sent out from the fortress to foreign worlds began to increase. At the same time, he received a herald from the legion commander summoning the masters and leaders to a meeting. Lin Xiao knew that he had something to do.
The meeting went as he expected. The Legion had made a breakthrough in the exploration of one of the several exotic worlds that had been discovered. The main purpose of convening a meeting of several senior members of the Legion was to make a final evaluation. If the evaluation passed, it would be reported to the Poseidon, and then preparations for the strategy for this exotic world would begin.
After they have completed the evaluation, reporting to the Sea Emperor is basically a formality. Even the Eighteen Sea Kings, who are lords who only obey orders and not announcements, have to report their strategies for attacking foreign worlds to the Sea Emperor. This is just a formality.
In the conference room, the secretary of the corps commander handed out a document to the deputy corps commanders or division commanders present. The document contained detailed reconnaissance data on the world that was about to be conquered.
The extremely tall legion commander sat high in the main seat, with a faint sense of oppression and aura exactly the same as that of the Sea Emperor. He was from the powerful dragon whale clan, the same race as His Majesty the Sea Emperor, and his strength was level five, the same level as most of the Sea Kings.
There are four deputy corps commanders and two division commanders who are not deputy corps commanders, a total of six senior officials. Except for Lin Xiao who is a human and the fifth division commander who is a feathered serpent, the rest are all sea people.
This feathered serpent is not the kind of feathered serpent that ordinary people imagine, but a race with two pairs of wings on its snake body, wings spread out behind its head like a cobra, and a head like a human but still retaining many characteristics of a snake.
The Quetzalcoatl generally follows the bloodline route, and the upper limit of their bloodline is quite high. They are amphibious on land, sea and air, and their overall strength ranks in the upper reaches among the races in the empire, slightly better than humans.
Although they belong to different races, it has been tens of thousands of years since Poseidon established the Poseidon Empire and unified the entire world. The races have long been integrated and there is intermarriage between different races. Naturally, they will not be hostile to each other because of their different races.
The exceptions are certain naturally hostile races.
After saying hello to his classmates, Lin Xiao picked up the thick document and started looking through it.
The assessment this time was on a world code-named Grey Crow. Data showed that the Empire discovered this world more than a hundred years ago, and then sent reconnaissance teams to explore the world. Tens of thousands of spies were sent out one after another, and the exploration lasted for hundreds of years. It was not until now that the world was thoroughly explored and all the data was summarized and presented.
Then, according to the rules of the empire for tens of thousands of years, a final assessment of the world will be made to decide whether to start a war of conquest or to seal it off.
If they assess that this world is too powerful, or has scarce resources, or the resources are not attractive enough to them, they will seal the data and abandon this world.
If we assess that the world is not strong enough, we will naturally launch a war of conquest.
In addition, the specific situation in the world will determine the number of troops to be deployed, whether to ask the empire for help and launch a joint attack by several legions, etc. All of this requires evaluation.
The total area of this world called Gray Shadow is between a large world and a super large world. In the main world, it is called a large plane, but there is no concept of plane in the wizarding world.
According to the information, the sky of the Gray Crow world is covered by a thick layer of gray fog all year round, and the whole world is in darkness all year round, just like the night of the fifteenth day of the lunar month.
The main inhabitants of that world are a humanoid race called the Gray Crow People. There are pictures of the Gray Crow People in the information. They look like human beings, with thick feathers covering their bodies, a crow-like head with a feather crown, outstretched arms, and a pair of slightly degenerate wings.
Ordinary Gray Crows cannot fly and can only glide short distances, but if their bloodline is awakened, they will have the power of flight.
The mainstream power system in this world is the blood wizard. The Gray Crow people have a chance to awaken the blood of their ancestor, the Crow God, and gradually evolve towards the direction of the Crow God.
According to the data, the overall strength of the Grey Crow people is far inferior to that of the Sea King Empire. According to the information currently available, the strongest people in several Grey Crow kingdoms and the Grey Crow's holy land, the Setek Temple, are only level four. No level five strong people have been found yet. After multiple reconnaissances, the reconnaissance team evaluated that there may be hidden level five strong people in the Grey Crow world.
But it is certain that there will not be many, just one or two at most, which is within the range that the Sea King world can deal with. In fact, even the Thirteenth Legion dares to attack the Grey Crow world, but it is just a stretch.
After all, the commander of the Thirteenth Legion is a level five warrior, and there are eight level four warriors in the legion.
There were only six originally, and now two more have been added, including Lin Xiao.
This strength may not be enough to conquer the world of the Grey Crows, but they can mobilize people. As the direct descendants of the Sea Emperor, it should not be a problem for them to get support from other legions or even the royal family. If the war is not going well, they can directly invite other legions to cooperate.
After reviewing the comprehensive strength assessment of the Gray Crow people, Lin Xiao turned to the back of the document, which listed a large number of valuable resources discovered in the Gray Crow world.
The main purpose of conquering a world is to plunder resources. If the resources are not sufficient, there will be no interest even if it can be conquered easily. No one will be willing to spend a lot of effort and suffer losses to conquer a world of little value.
Of course, under normal circumstances, a world that can send out a large number of reconnaissance teams cannot be without resources. The many worlds that the Legion is currently scouting have been preliminarily determined to be worth conquering before further in-depth reconnaissance will be continued. If they were of no value, they would have been evacuated and sealed early.
The so-called resources is a very general term.
Various minerals, creatures with powerful bloodlines, and even arable land are all considered resources.
Even if there is nothing, as long as there are enough intelligent creatures, they are considered resources.
After all, for powerful beings above level four, the souls, flesh and blood, and even emotions such as fear and anger of intelligent creatures are all considered resources. For beings at their level, they can already make initial use of these things to improve their strength.
Just like Lin Xiao, he can collect a large number of souls of alien races and refine them into pure soul power to devour and improve his strength.
The pure soul power of 200,000 souls had allowed him to advance directly to the fourth level. What if he could harvest 1 million souls? What about several million or even tens of millions of souls?
Data shows that the land in the Gray Crow world has no sunlight and cannot grow common crops, but it is suitable for growing the Gray Crows' favorite fungi. The reconnaissance team has transported a batch of fungi that tasted good, but this is not enough to enhance the value of this world.
Fortunately, the world of the Gray Crows is mountainous and rich in various minerals.
In addition, there are a huge number of Gray Crow people in the Gray Crow world. The three Gray Crow kingdoms together have tens of millions of Gray Crow people, as well as many creatures scattered around the world.
In particular, the Gray Crows are an intelligent race that has formed a civilization. Their souls are of very good quality and can be harvested in waves of souls and flesh.
At least in Lin Xiao's eyes, this world is worth conquering, but he doesn't know what other strong people think.
Seeing him put down the information in his hand, the legion commander Leo's loud voice rang out:
"Deputy Legion Commander Lin Xiao, do you think this world is worth conquering?"
Several division commanders looked up at him, and he smiled and said:
"There is definitely value in conquering. Regardless of the resources in the world, the souls and flesh of the tens of millions of Grey Crows alone are valuable enough. Especially since the Grey Crows are said to possess the blood of the Crow God, such a large number of Grey Crows is enough to extract a large amount of blood essence, which is enough to create dozens of top wizards and some to spare."
In the world of Aquaman, the top wizard refers to the fourth-level Dawn Wizard.
Dawn Wizard is the name of orthodox wizards. The fourth level names of other power systems in different worlds are different.
Chapter 628
The commander of the Second Division, the sea snake man Yalin, who was sitting opposite him, also nodded and said:
"The environment of this world is not suitable for us to survive. Even the most adaptable human race can't adapt well to it. We don't really need the mineral deposits right now, so the best way to use them is to carry out a bloody massacre, plunder and then abandon this world."
