Hearing this, the Deep Sea Dragon Whale noticed the Lord’s calm demeanor and gradually felt rea.s.sured.

“I understand.”

After soothing his subordinates’ emotions, Ji Chen inquired about the current situation.

“How are the Sea Heirs doing now? Have they reached the vicinity of the New Moon Islands?”

“At the moment, we can already see a large number of Sea Heirs surfacing in the northeast, heading towards the northeastern sub-island,” Benbo reported, taking a step forward.

If the Sea Heirs intended to attack the Crown of the Ocean from the northeast, they would first have to conquer the northeastern sub-island and then proceed to land on the beach before attacking the Crown of the Ocean.

However, only a few days ago, the ancient civilization fortress on the northeastern sub-island, which normally took several months to repair, had coincidentally been completely restored.

The fortress covered the entire sub-island, with walls over ten meters high. If there were enough troops stationed there, it would be more than capable of holding a significant number of Sea Heirs at bay.

As for the sea area from the east, clockwise to the south, it was firmly controlled by elemental arrow towers and numerous ordinary arrow towers. There was no need to worry too much. If the Sea Heirs tried to attack from these directions, they would undoubtedly be met with a fierce defense.

The northern side consisted of towering, steep mountains and peaks, which were not a cause for concern.

The real concerns lay in the west and southwest.

To the west of the Crown of the Ocean was a vast jungle. Due to sea rice cultivation, construction, and the density of the jungle, there weren’t many defensive structures in that direction.

However, it was precisely because of this jungle that crossing such a vast and dense terrain would not be an easy task for the Sea Heirs.

A well-organized army skilled in jungle warfare could greatly delay or even eliminate any attackers from the West.

On the other hand, the flat sandy beach to the south was a highly suitable direction for an a.s.sault.

The distance from the Crown of the Ocean and its core, the Lord’s Castle, was only about two to three hundred meters in a straight line.

But Ji Chen had long considered further fortifying the defenses in this direction.

Therefore, he had previously positioned the construction site of the Alchemy Death Cannon just two hundred meters from the beach, on a hill within the forest. Its firing range completely covered the nearby sea.

At first glance, it seemed that the current defense situation was quite good.

With these thoughts in mind, Ji Chen made a decisive gesture and issued his orders.

“Benbo, take the Dragon Blood Murlocs and Elemental Sea Pixies to the fortress on the northeastern sub-island and make sure to block the Sea Heirs in that direction!”

“Daro, take the Half-Orc Warriors and a portion of Lizardmen Warriors to the harbor to a.s.sist in the defense. If necessary, have the gnomes manning the Alchemy Cannons on the gnome merchant s.h.i.+ps and the cannons on the Triple-Masted Wars.h.i.+ps return fire!”

“Anina, lead the Naga Berserkers and some Self-Detonating Water Spiders to guard the western jungle and block any Sea Heirs advancing from the west!”

“Finally, Alice and I will lead the remaining troops to guard the southern beach!”

“Understood!”

Under the leaders.h.i.+p of their heroes, the various armies rushed towards their respective directions.

A hint of the smoke of war slowly spread across the sky above the New Moon Islands.

Under the scorching sun, the once azure sea was now covered in black and white.

Thousands of Sea Heirs, under the control of their leaders, moved towards their target. Any living being that stood in their way was ruthlessly killed and devoured, their energy fueling the reproduction and evolution of the Sea Heirs.

Finally, after a long journey, they saw the islands. All the Sea Heirs trembled with excitement, waving their tentacles and strange organs.

However, it wasn’t the Sea Heirs themselves who were excited but rather their leader.

It knew that on these islands, there was an abundant source of food that could sustain their population.

Moreover, there was a special human there. If they could consume that human, it would undergo an unprecedented evolution, gaining unprecedented power.

At that time, the entire ocean would become the hunting ground of the Sea Heirs!

Wuu wuu wuu—

The horn of war sounded.

On the northeastern sub-island fortress, the first round of water arrows from the Elemental Sea Pixies flew far and exploded among the Sea Heir horde. This signaled the beginning of the life-and-death battle between the Crown of the Ocean and the Sea Heirs.

You might find it hard to imagine what the Sea Heir army’s attack looked like.

It was a sight filled with twisted and grotesque bodies and tentacles of various shapes, all crowded together beneath the city walls. Their sticky tentacles reached out like a grotesque greeting.

In addition to the previously seen Deep Sea Impalers and Floating Skyriders, there were several other types of Sea Heirs, but they all had one thing in common—their appearances were extremely disgusting and twisted.

One type looked like a fish with legs, known as Terrorfish, with a monstrous gaping mouth that could crawl up the city walls at a fast pace using its bony front legs.

Another variation featured twisted tentacles below but sported a ring of slender petals on top, allowing them to emit highly corrosive and long-range acid.

In the even more distant waters, it seemed that there were other new types of Sea Heirs, but at this moment, they had not launched an attack; they stood silently.

In the sky, the Sky Guardian faced its first challenge to its dominance of the skies.

A squadron of over a hundred Floating Skyriders was flapping their wings, flying towards it..
