The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

When Monica ran back with a face full of joy and showed him a butterfly that was very common in the jungle that stayed on her finger as if it were a treasure, Ji Chen finally couldn't help but ask:

"Monica, haven't you seen a place like this before?"

Monica shook her head gently, moved her fingers to make the butterflies fly away, put her hands behind her back, and looked around, looking a little lonely, "I have lived in the palace since I was a child, and I need to learn etiquette and various His skills were well protected by his father and he almost never left the palace."

"The only scenery I can see every day is the garden outside the window and the walls that are too high for me to climb."

"So I always stood on tiptoe behind the window on the top floor of the castle to see what the outside looked like..."

"Later I grew up and had the opportunity to go to the outside world, but there was no one except when I was sleeping and picking flowers.

In addition, I am always surrounded by guards and maids, surrounding me like a mountain. "

"Until now..." At this point, the loneliness on Monica's face suddenly disappeared, and she blinked playfully, "I can finally relax a little."

Ji Chen looked at the girl who suddenly changed her face, slightly shocked, and then smiled.

"Then we must cherish this hard-won time."

Monica pointed to the depths of the island with a smile and said with expectation in her eyes.

"Your Excellency Ji Chen, I want to continue walking deeper. Oh, by the way! I saw a towering mountain peak at your castle, and the waterfall there is so beautiful!"

"There, according to the legend spread here, a giant dragon once lived on the mountain peak..."

In the next two days, Ji Chen accompanied the daughter of the Grand Duke to visit the various classics on the island. At first, Ji Chen still insisted on the idea of ​​​​spending time, but later on, during the contact between the two, he could not help but feel... Infected by Monica's liveliness and cheerfulness, her senses have also changed a lot, and she understands more about her.

This girl, who looks strong and mature, released her nature a little during the few days she unexpectedly stayed on the Crescent Islands, leaving her laughter in many places.

But as the saying goes, all banquets in the world come to an end. As a piece of news came, the departure of Monica and others was scheduled.

In the lord's mansion.

hall.

"According to the news from the patrol force, the pursuers seem to have given up the idea of ​​searching for you. They evacuated the outside of the storm sea area yesterday afternoon and left in the northwest direction."

"This way, you can leave at any time."

Hearing this, Monica and the others showed a hint of joy on their faces. It had been five or six days since they stayed on the Crescent Islands. Counting the time required for the return trip, this time they had been delayed for at least half a month. Time was quite tight.

Monica, the captain and others looked at each other, nodded, and Monica took a step forward.

"Your Excellency Ji Chen, we don't know what the current situation is in the principality. One day's delay will make it more dangerous, so if possible, we would like to leave in the afternoon."

Ji Chen nodded, "I fully understand how you are feeling now, and I am happy to fulfill our previous commitment."

"There is already a ship loading and unloading the supplies you need along the way. It is expected to set off on time in the afternoon."

"In addition to this, I will also send another battleship and a escort team to help escort you back to the Principality of Reinhardt."

Monica's brows were filled with joy, and she put her hands together and said.

"That would be great. I'm afraid my father will be impatient waiting for us now!"

The captain and the captain of the guard also saluted.

"Thank you for your help to us. Although there was some unpleasantness between us before, the Principality of Reinhardt will not forget your courage to lend a helping hand when we were in trouble. Under the witness of the gods, we set up a A bridge of friendship connecting each other.”

"That's natural. I hope the friendship between Ocean Crown and the Principality of Reinhard will last forever."

afternoon.

In the port.

The supplies were loaded smoothly and the warship was ready for departure.

The group began to board the ship.

Monica looked at the sailors and guards whose faces were full of joy because they could return to the principality. When it was time to return, she found that she was not as happy as she had imagined.

Instead, there was a slight sense of loss.

Is it because you can’t bear to live such a free life?

During the few days here, Monica seemed to have loosened all the restraints on her body. She didn't have to worry about etiquette issues all the time. She didn't have to worry about the eyes of others, for fear of losing the face of the principality and her father.

Like a canary that flew out of its cage, it fluttered its wings and flew freely in the sky.

This period was one of the happiest times in her life so far.

Monica took a deep breath, but that was the end of it. As a woman of the Valencia family, who might inherit the position of Grand Duke in the future, she had to abandon some things and bear heavy responsibilities.

"What's wrong? Are you reluctant to stay here?"

Ji Chen's voice with a hint of laughter interrupted the emotions brewing in her heart.

Monica turned around in surprise and saw Ji Chen walking towards her, she couldn't help but smile.

"Your Excellency Ji Chen, you scared me!"

She didn't even feel it herself, and she actually sounded a bit coquettish when she spoke.

"Haha, it's over. If Archduke Reinhard knew that I scared her baby daughter, wouldn't he want to settle a score with me?" Ji Chen immediately pretended to be scared.

This look made Monica couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Sir, if you do this, I will be angry!"

After some joking, Ji Chen looked at the nearly prepared battleships and smiled.

"Okay, it's almost time, Monica, it's time for you to get on the boat."

Monica also knew it was time to leave. Looking at the tall and handsome Ji Chen in front of her, a flash of emotion flashed in her eyes, but she quickly hid it deep in her heart, lowered her head and curtsied.

"Your Excellency, if we get through this difficulty this time, you are welcome to be a guest in the Principality of Reinhardt. We will definitely receive you as a distinguished guest."

Ji Chen didn't say much, just nodded and said: "If I have time, I will consider going."

As the warship slowly sailed out of the port, Monica's figure waving goodbye to Ji Chen at the stern gradually became farther away until it disappeared on the sea level.

After standing at the port for a moment, he shook his head and returned to the Lord's Mansion.

At this time, Alice and Anina, who had disappeared for several days, as well as Benbo'erba, Darrow and other heroes, were all standing in the hall.

"How is the situation with the Secret Realm Crystal?"

"Your Majesty, the Secret Realm Crystal is temporarily stable, but there is still a risk of it being forcibly opened."

Hearing this, his expression became more solemn.

Ever since he led the army to kill the skeleton army and skeleton heroes that invaded from the door two months ago, and closed the door to the secret realm in time, there has been no movement in the secret realm crystal.

It wasn't until the day after Monica and her party arrived at the Crescent Islands that the secret crystal suddenly fluctuated violently.

There are various signs that at the other end of the secret realm that he opened - the skeleton secret realm, he is trying to open the secret realm door again.

As expected, it should be the masterpiece of the Skeleton King in the secret realm.

Skeleton King has not given up his ambition to invade again.

However, two months ago he might have been afraid.

But today, Ocean Crown is no longer the same in terms of the quality of its troops and its heroes.

More than ten times stronger?

At that time, he was able to lead hundreds of units to defeat the skeleton army, and now is no exception.

Since the Skeleton King is so ungrateful, he just needs to solve this problem once and for all!

After thinking about this, Ji Chen's expression became serious and he said seriously.

"Monica and her group have left, so we don't have to cover up."

"Pass my order and the entire army begins to prepare. I want to attack and conquer that secret realm!"

"As you command!"

Give an order.

The entire Ocean Crown started to move again.

Troops were assembled and various supplies were shipped to the front lines.

The warship leaves the port and anchors around the island where the secret realm crystal is located, providing fire support at any time after the secret realm door is opened.

Ji Chen came to the military recruitment camp and recruited all the military units accumulated in the past two weeks.

After this recruitment, the number of units jumped again, and the numbers are as follows:

Naga Berserker 202 → 482, level 4, 5 stars.

There are 207 dragon blood murlocs → 487, level 4 and 3 stars.

There are 224 elemental sea elves → 518, level 4 and 3 stars.

Lobster Knight 210 → 490, level 4, 1 star.

There are 266 fish-men wanderers → 350, level 3 and 5 stars.

350 self-exploding water spiders → 1,400, level 3, 3 stars

There are 270 elite pirates, level 2 and 4 stars.

There are 20 → 40 deep-sea wanderers, 1 star at level four.

There are 3 → 5 tidal sea spirits, 1 star at level four.

10 → 20 giant squids, level 4 and 8 stars.

There are 780 ruins guards, level 3 and 8 stars.

Ocean Guard 2020, level 3, 9 stars.

There are 40 sky guards, level 4 and 8 stars.

1080 orc warriors, level 3 and 8 stars.

A total of 7982 units.

This is a lot, but according to Ji Chen's guess, there is most likely a lack of water in the Skeleton Secret Realm.

Only some of the troops can go out this time.

It is scheduled to be Naga Berserker, Dragonblood Murloc, Elemental Sea Elf, Explosive Water Spider, Murloc Ranger and all the macho orc warriors.

A total of 4317 units.

Although the number of skeleton monsters in the Skeleton Secret Realm is definitely much greater, Ji Chen believes that these troops are enough to deal with them.

Two days later.

Ji Chen led the army and a group of heroes to the Secret Realm Crystal. As time went by, its energy fluctuations became more and more violent, which meant that the Skeleton Secret Realm was trying to forcefully open it.

This secret door is two-way, so after the crystal is repaired and opened instantly, the door will always exist as long as it is not destroyed.

Therefore, he specially dispatched hundreds of ruins guards and stationed them here after they entered to prevent scattered skeleton monsters from running out.

After everything is ready.

Ji Chen came to the secret realm crystal and began to repair it.

"Ding~ Repairing the secret realm crystal requires 3,000 units of crystal."

A mere 3,000 units was nothing to him now, so he invested in it without any hesitation.

The solid crystal gradually turned into a liquid state and merged into the secret crystal. The damaged surface began to be repaired visibly to the naked eye.

Half an hour later, all the crystals were absorbed, and the surface of the secret crystal became smooth and discernible, and the interior was transparent and flawless.

"Ding~ The secret realm crystal has been repaired and the door to the secret realm can be opened."

Seeing this, Ji Chen didn't waste any time, stretched out his hand to touch it, and thought about it.

The secret crystal trembled suddenly, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

He took a few steps back.

A stream of red energy shot out from the secret crystal and condensed into a slowly growing red vortex at a distance of tens of meters.

Perhaps because the secret realm crystal has been completely repaired, this red vortex is much larger than the previous one, with a diameter of fifty meters. There is faint lightning flashing across the surface, brewing some terrifying energy.

"All march!"

The army, which had already been formed in formation, bypassed the Secret Realm Crystal and walked towards the Secret Realm Gate in an orderly manner.

When it comes into contact with the red vortex, it flashes slightly and disappears behind the door.

Ji Chen and the heroes were sandwiched in the middle of the entire team and walked in without stopping.

Only a flash of white light was seen.

The environment in front of me suddenly changed.

The black-red sky gave off a somewhat strange color.

There are layers of red gravel, spreading from the feet to the distance, without even a stone.

There are still some dark leafless trees growing among the gravel, but the strange and crazy shapes make people feel chilly when they look at them.

As soon as I sniffed it, I felt a strong smell of rust suddenly pouring in, making me feel uncomfortable.

Gloomy, dark.

This is the first impression this secret place gives people.

Ji Chen sighed, it was indeed a secret realm where undead souls like skeletons lived. This was not suitable for human survival at all.

He looked around.

They were currently on a high ground and could easily observe the situation for several kilometers around them.

But at a glance, apart from the red gravel and unique trees, I didn't see a single skeleton.

Didn't it mean that the Skeleton King was working hard to open the door to the secret realm?

Logically speaking, there should be an army of skeletons standing behind the door ready to invade.

Ji Chen was confused for a while.

After thinking for a while, an idea flashed in his mind.

Is it possible that the door to the secret realm opened by the outside world is randomly generated in the secret realm?

If this is the case, it does give them a chance to rectify their problems.

Our own troops were still coming out of the gate of the secret realm, and under the command of Ji Chen, they re-arranged themselves in a valley below the high ground.

Although the gate to the secret realm is not small, it will take a lot of time to pass through thousands of troops.

It took half an hour for more than 3,000 units of troops to pass through.

What we have to do now is to find the Skeleton King.

Skeletons are a magical race with hive-like abilities.

The upper-level skeleton monsters will lead the lower-level skeleton monsters.

For example, a skeleton vanguard commands dozens of ordinary small skeletons.

A skeleton squad leader leads dozens of skeleton vanguards.

A skeleton captain leads dozens of skeleton captains.

By analogy, control of all skeletons will be concentrated in the hands of the most senior Skeleton King.

Therefore, as long as the Skeleton King is killed, most of the skeleton monsters below will lose control and become a piece of loose sand that is vulnerable to a blow.

Ji Chen looked left and right, surrounded by endless, uniform red gravel.

Only the rocky mountains in the distance can attract some attention.

Just like the desert, running around like a housefly here is undoubtedly a waste of your energy.

After thinking about it, he decided to go to the rocky mountain first to check the situation.
