Chapter 764: Current Situation in the Southern Continent
....Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Just as the outside world thought the Crown of the Ocean had been severely damaged in the battle with the Dreadlord, the Crown of the Ocean was waiting for the resources of the Orderly fraction to recuperate.
On the boundless sea north of the Southern Continent, a small island suddenly appeared.
If anyone saw it, they would surely be horrified.
Because this island, which was covered with various military facilities such as large and small magic towers, arrow towers, and barracks, was slowly moving southward.
Ji Chen stood at the top of the giant tower, his gaze seeming to penetrate through layers of waves, seeing the land covered with endless yellow sand.
The Dreadlord was slain, and the demon army was wiped out all the way, but there were still four demon armies and four demon kings. How to eliminate these still huge demon forces was a question worth considering deeply.
Therefore, just under two days after the battle with the Dreadlord, he decided to secretly take the remaining more than ten thousand sixth-tier troops and secretly leave the Stormy Sea on a giant turtle.
This time, he wanted to quietly come to the Southern Continent and give the demons a surprise!
The giant turtle carried a high-level magic artillery tower, thirty-six secondary magic towers that could resonate with it, and more than a hundred intermediate magic towers on the periphery, as well as dozens of rune- enchanted rapid-fire arrow towers used to guard against enemy airborne forces.
The entire turtle’s back was a huge magic firepower projection position, with a range of up to a hundred miles in extreme cases. Of course, this was an extreme situation, and the accuracy was questionable, but facing enemies within thirty or forty miles, it was like hitting wherever you pointed, ready to unleash a brilliant but destructive magical strike at any time.
Such a movable firepower projection position was simply an excellent force for guerrilla warfare!
Even those demon lords never thought that he would dare to attack and cause trouble during the vacant period after the war.
Looking at the vast sea, where layers of waves were rolled up due to the movement of the giant turtle, Ji Chen asked softly.
“Alice, how far are we from the Southern Continent now?”
Seeing Alice, who was absent-mindedly fascinated by Ji Chen’s side face, and hearing her slowly come back to her senses after his question, she reached out to tuck a strand of hair that was blown apart by the sea breeze behind her ear and whispered.
“… We should be able to see the coastline in about five hundred miles or so.”
Ji Chen nodded slightly. “That’s about it. When we get closer, the chances of encountering demon reconnaissance forces will increase exponentially. Activate the Tidal Surge Core and let the giant turtle dive.”
“I understand.”
Soon, a transparent bowl-shaped cover slowly condensed on the sh.e.l.l of the turtle. As the giant turtle slowly dived, the sea water was separated outside the cover.
Observing the seawater slowly creeping upward, they couldn’t shake the sensation of being in a different realm entirely. Above them, the sea water teemed with marine life, while below, they stood on solid ground, creating a surreal experience.
The Crown of the Ocean’s troops were already accustomed to such scenes, busy with their own tasks, but the elven warriors who came to support were seeing such a magical sight for the first time. Even the most calm among them couldn’t help but stretch their necks in astonishment, marveling at the scene.
Watching these elves looking around like curious babies, Alice whispered.
“My lord, is it really okay to let them spread the news about the Crown of the Ocean?”
s.h.i.+fting his gaze from elsewhere to these elves, Ji Chen shook his head.
“Let them spread some information about the Crown of the Ocean to the Elven Empire. It won’t do us any harm.”
“What about Elisya…”
“As for Elisya, sooner or later, she will appear before the world. Unless she stays in the Crown of the Ocean forever, the Elven Empire will definitely learn about her. At this point, instead of continuing to conceal, it’s better to tell them openly.”
The news about Elisya’s bloodline being publicly disclosed by Balzarna had been known to the dragons, dragon whales, the King Kong Island guild, and the army supported by the Elven Empire present at the scene. Continuing to block the news was obviously unrealistic.
Ji Chen smiled slightly, his tone becoming more resolute. “Anyway, we’re not what we used to be. The Crown of the Ocean now has enough capital to protect itself.”
Alice looked at the spirited Ji Chen and couldn’t help but smile too.
“That’s right, we already have the ability to protect ourselves. We were the ones who slain the Dreadlord. Even if the Elven Empire wants to cause trouble, they’ll have to think twice beforehand.”
“That’s natural. We just need to tell them boldly that Elisya is here with us. What can they do?”
Given time, Elisya could become a figure above the epic tier, inevitably becoming a cornerstone of the Crown of the Ocean. How could he hand her over to the Elven Empire?
Although the relations.h.i.+p between the Elven Empire and them was good, they were ultimately two different forces. Interests maintained such relations.h.i.+ps, not friends.h.i.+p. Once the maintenance of interests was gone, such relations.h.i.+ps would be as fragile as a string.
Only their own strength, only power, was the source and foundation of everything.
Ji Chen understood this, and so did Alice.
The giant turtle slowly advanced in the pitch-black depths of the deep sea, with hundreds of meters of seawater separating it from any scrutiny from the sky or the surface of the sea. Those demons would never imagine that such a giant turtle, carrying tens of thousands of troops, would be pa.s.sing beneath their noses, hidden from their reconnaissance.
As they approached the coastline of the Southern Continent, Ji Chen called over his companion, Ari.
This prince of the Kingdom of Ugisai had sought him out again after the victory over the Dreadlord in the battle at the Crown of the Ocean, once more requesting his troops’ support for the Southern Continent.
