Most of the humans in this world walked the path of enhancement sorcerers. They obtained the bloodline of powerful creatures to strengthen themselves. Strictly speaking, enhancement sorcerers were also a type of bloodline sorcerers. The main reason was that most humans were not born with a bloodline. They could only obtain a bloodline through other means.
There was a huge fortress on the island where the 13th Legion was stationed. There was a portal between worlds inside. It was said that this portal was built by the first and most powerful emperor of the Sea King Empire in ancient times. It could be used to communicate with other worlds by spending a huge amount of resources to build a portal between two worlds.
There were a total of 21 such portals. The 18 Sea Kings each had one, and the remaining three were in the hands of the Sea Emperor. The one that the 13th Legion was stationed at was only one of them.
After Lin Xiao took over the command of the 3rd Legion, he observed the portal from a close distance.
This thing was a special sorcery array. The construction method of the portal itself was not a big secret. With his position and authority, he was qualified to learn it. However, there were many requirements to build a portal that normal Sea Kings could not meet.
Let's not talk about the precious materials that were needed. Even if the materials were precious, the empire would have a lot of them after colonizing the foreign world for so long.
The most important factor was actually strength. The empire did not have a super strong person like the first Sea Emperor. They did not have enough strength to open a portal between two worlds. The first time the portal was activated, it needed to open a portal to another world. After that, this requirement was no longer needed. It required a super strong strength, at least a rank 7 wizard.
Since the first Sea Empress, there was no new rank 7 powerhouse. Every Sea Emperor was a rank 6 powerhouse.
Of course, even if a rank 7 Sea Emperor was born, he might not be willing to do so. The current portal in the empire's control was enough, so there was no need to make another one.
After all, if the portal was not opened by the Sea Emperor, it meant the birth of a new super strong Sea King. This would cause internal strife within the empire.
Although he was the deputy commander of the 13th Legion and took over the 3rd Legion, Lin Xiao still had nothing to do. He did not have any missions at the moment. Most of the time, he rested or inspected the troops. Occasionally, he would contact his colleagues and subordinates. Days passed by like this.
Most of the soldiers in the legion were Sea Tribes. There were not many humans. In this world, the majority of the Sea Tribes were humans.
Before Lin Xiao's arrival, the highest ranking human in the 13th Legion was a vice-battalion commander, a rank 3 Magus. His strength was not strong, so his position was definitely not high.
Therefore, when Lin Xiao arrived, the human officers in the army immediately united under his command and listened to his orders.
In truth, most of the members of the 3rd Division were humans.
After almost a year of boredom, Lin Xiao suddenly realized that the number of scouts sent to the Foreign World had increased. At the same time, he received an order from the Legion Commander to gather all the Master Commanders for a meeting. Lin Xiao knew that he had something to do.
The meeting went as he expected. The army had made a breakthrough in the exploration of one of the discovered foreign worlds. Now, the main purpose of the meeting was to conduct a final evaluation. If the evaluation passed, it would be reported to Neptune. Then, they would begin to prepare for the invasion of this foreign world.
After their evaluation, reporting to the Sea Emperor was basically just a formality. Even the Eighteen Sea Kings, who only listened to the Sea Emperor, had to report to the Sea Emperor when they attacked a foreign world. This was just a formality.
In the meeting room, the Legion Commander's secretary handed out a document to all the vice-commanders and commanders present. It was detailed information about the foreign world that they were preparing to attack.
The Legion Commander, who was extremely tall, sat on the main seat. The faint pressure and aura he emitted was exactly the same as the Sea Emperor. He was also from the powerful Dragonwhale Clan, the same clan as the Sea Emperor. His strength was at rank 5, the same as most of the Sea Kings.
There were four Deputy Legion Commanders and two Division Commanders who were not Deputy Legion Commanders. There were a total of six upper echelons. Apart from Lin Xiao, who was from the human race, and the Fifth Division Commander, who was from the feathered serpent race, the rest were from the Sea Race.
The Feathered Serpents were not the kind of serpents that people imagined. They were a type of serpent with two pairs of wings and a head that opened up like a cobra. Their head was like a human's, but they still retained many of the characteristics of a serpent.
The Feathered Serpent Clan generally walked the bloodline path. The upper limit of their bloodline was relatively high. They also lived on land, water, and air. Their overall strength was ranked in the upper tier of the various races in the Empire, slightly stronger than humans.
Although they belonged to different races, the Sea Emperor had established the Sea King Empire and unified the entire world for tens of thousands of years. The various races had long since integrated and intermarried. Naturally, they would not be hostile to each other because of their different races.
Except for some races that were naturally hostile.
After greeting the others at the table, Lin Xiao picked up the thick document and began to look through it.
The evaluation this time was on a world codenamed Grey Raven. The data showed that the Empire had discovered this world more than a hundred years ago. Then, they had sent over tens of thousands of scouts to explore the world. It had been more than a hundred years since they had thoroughly explored the world and gathered all the information and presented it to the Empire.
Then, according to the rules of the Empire for tens of thousands of years, they would conduct a final evaluation of the world and decide whether to start a war of conquest or seal the world.
If the evaluation was that the world was too strong, or that the resources were too scarce, or that the resources were not attractive enough to them, they would seal the information and give up on the world.
If the evaluation was that the world was not strong enough, they would naturally start a war of conquest.
Apart from that, they would also decide on the number of troops to invest in the world based on the specific situation of the world. Whether to ask for reinforcements from the Empire, several legions would attack together, and so on.
The total area of this world called Grey Shadow was between a large world and a super-large world. In the words of the Main World, it was called a large bitwall. However, there was no such thing as a bitwall in the Sorcerer World.
According to the data, the sky of the Grey Raven World was covered by a thick layer of grey fog all year round. The whole world was in darkness all year round, just like the night of the fifteenth day of the lunar year.
The main body of the world was a humanoid race called the Grey Raven People. There were pictures of the Grey Raven People in the data. They looked like humans with thick feathers covering their whole bodies. They had crow-like heads with feathered crows and a pair of vestigial wings when they opened their arms.
Ordinary Grey Raven People could not fly and could only glide for short distances. However, if their bloodline was awakened, they would have the ability to fly.
The mainstream power system of this world was the Bloodline Sorcerer. The Grey Raven People had a chance to awaken the bloodline of their ancestor, the Raven God, and gradually evolve in the direction of the Raven God.
According to the data, the overall strength of the Grey Raven People was far inferior to the Sea King Empire. According to the information currently available, the strongest powerhouse in several Grey Raven People Kingdoms and the holy land of the Grey Raven People, Setek Temple, was only a Level 4 powerhouse. There was no Level 5 powerhouse for the time being. After many investigations, the scouting team made an evaluation that there might be a hidden Level 5 powerhouse in the Grey Raven People World.
However, it was certain that there would not be many of them. At most, there would be one or two of them. This was within the range that the Sea King Empire could deal with. In fact, even the 13th Legion dared to attack the Grey Raven People World, but it was just barely.
After all, the commander of the 13th Legion was a Level 5 powerhouse. There were eight Level 4 powerhouses in the legion.
Originally, there were only six of them. Now, there were two new ones, including Lin Xiao.
This little bit of strength might not be enough to attack the Grey Raven People World, but they could ask for help. As the direct descendant of the Sea King, it should not be a problem for them to support a group of powerhouses from other legions or even the royal family. If the battle was not going well, they could directly ask for help from other legions.
After looking at the comprehensive strength evaluation of the Grey Raven People, Lin Xiao flipped to the back of the information. It listed a large number of valuable resources in the Grey Raven People World.
The main purpose of attacking a world was to plunder its resources. If the resources were not sufficient, even if it could be easily conquered, one would not be interested. No one would be willing to spend a lot of effort and losses to conquer a worthless world.
Of course, under normal circumstances, it was impossible for a world that could send a large number of reconnaissance teams to have no resources. Currently, many of the worlds that the legions were investigating were initially determined to be worth conquering. Only then would they continue to investigate further. If there was no value, they would have already withdrawn and sealed it up.
The so-called resources were a very general term.
All kinds of minerals, creatures with powerful bloodlines, and even arable land were considered resources.
Even if there was nothing, as long as there were enough intelligent creatures, they were considered resources.
After all, to a powerful being of Level 4 and above, the souls, flesh, and even fear, anger, and other emotions of intelligent creatures were considered resources. To a Level 1 being like them, they could already use these things to increase their strength.
Take Lin Xiao for example. He could collect a large number of souls of foreign races and refine them into pure Soul Energy to increase his strength.
Previously, the pure Soul Energy of 200,000 souls allowed him to directly advance to Level 4. What if he could collect a million souls? What about millions or even tens of millions of souls?
According to the information, there was no light in the Grey Raven People World, so they could not cultivate common crops. However, it was suitable for cultivating various kinds of fungi that the Grey Raven People liked the most. The reconnaissance team had transported a batch of fungi that tasted good. However, this was not enough to increase the value of this world.
Fortunately, the Grey Raven People World was mountainous and rich in all kinds of minerals.
In addition, there were a large number of Grey Raven People in the Grey Raven People World. The three Grey Raven People Kingdoms added up to tens of millions of Grey Raven People World and many creatures scattered across the world.
In particular, the Grey Raven People were an intelligent race that formed a civilization. The quality of their souls was quite good, so they could harvest a wave of souls and flesh.
At least in Lin Xiao's eyes, this world was worth conquering. He just did not know what the other powerhouses would think.
Seeing that he put down the information in his hand, the Legion Commander Leo's loud voice was heard.
"Vice Legion Commander Lin Xiao, do you think this world is worth conquering?"
A few Legion Commanders raised their heads and looked at him. He smiled and said,
"There's definitely worth conquering. Regardless of the resources in the world, just the souls and flesh of the tens of millions of Grey Raven People are valuable enough. Especially the Grey Raven People Legend has it that they have the bloodline of the Raven People God. With such a large number of Grey Raven People World, it's enough to extract a large amount of bloodline essence. This is enough to create dozens of top Wizards and some more."
In the Sea King's World, top Wizards were Level 4 Wizards and Level 4 Wizards.
Level 4 Wizards were called by the orthodox Wizards. The Level 4 Wizards of different power systems in different worlds were called differently.

The Second Legion Commander Sea Serpent Yalin who was sitting opposite him nodded and said,
"The environment of this world is not suitable for us to live in. Even the human race with the strongest adaptability can't adapt to it. Besides, we don't really need the mineral resources now. So, the best way to use it is to massacre and plunder it before giving up on this world."
