The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

In just one day, public opinion in the Xingyao Islands completely fermented.

The defeat of the parliamentary fleet completely consumed the remaining confidence of the merchants. They simply abandoned their property here and left by boat overnight with their wealth.

Residents who had the conditions also paid to board merchants' ships and leave the islands together, which were about to be ravaged by sea monsters.

The sun only sets and rises.

The formerly prosperous archipelago became deserted, leaving only the coldness and silence in the crowded commercial district. The goods in the shops were emptied, leaving only a few rats looking for food.

The dock, which is always crowded with incoming ships, now has only a few lonely ships left. The fat businessman is urging the sailors to load the last batch of goods. He takes one last look at this place with regret, and then does not look back. Set sail and travel far.

No one wants to enter the belly of a sea animal and be digested into excrement.

Yet at the other end of the city, residents crowded in front of City Hall.

"Masters, please let that powerful army participate in the battle! They will definitely be able to stop those terrible sea beasts!"

"I just need some gold coins, please be merciful!"

"Ooooooo, I don't want to die!!"

The soldiers blocking the door of the city hall were conscientious and had cold expressions. If anyone dared to attack them, they would kill them without hesitation.

But there was also a somewhat complicated look in his eyes. Even the fleet at sea could not stop the sea beast even half a step, and they alone were definitely invincible.

These loyal soldiers couldn't help but think at this time, it would be great if the congressmen could allow that powerful army to participate in the war, so that no one would have to die, and the Starry Islands could return to their previous appearance.

The secretly and deliberately guided public opinion is driving the Parliament to pay the price for the army to help resist the tide of sea beasts, but the door of the Parliament Hall has been kept tightly closed, with no sign of being opened.

Some players watched this scene secretly and started talking secretly.

"The MPs like Mader are really able to keep their composure. Even at this point, they are still unwilling. Thanks to our efforts in guiding public opinion, it seems that those MPs don't take these residents seriously at all."

"Nonsense, the concept of hierarchy in this world is extremely strict. The hierarchy gap between nobles and commoners is wider than the East African Rift Valley of Tamar. Don't look at it. They are still polite to us players. In fact, they look down on us in their hearts. It's just that Treat us as just tools."

"Is it so realistic? Then they'd better die. But let's not talk about it for now. Who knows what they think. In the face of some costs and life and death, isn't it obvious which one is more important?"

"Zi Zhen, but the appetite of that aboriginal army is not small. One-tenth of the property of the thirteen councilor families can probably buy a town directly, right?"

"If this continues, we will have to run away. Is the ship ready?"

"It has been prepared for a long time. There are enough supplies on the ship for us to reach the Northern Continent, and there are also some territorial residents who are willing to leave with us. A steady batch!"

Time gradually passed, and the sea beast tide that was thousands of miles away gradually approached, and it was only less than a day's journey from the Xingyao Islands.

At this time, the door of the parliament hall, which had been closed for a long time, was also opened. A group of soldiers filed out, boarded a giant sea eagle, flapped its wings, and flew towards the north side of the Xingyao Islands.

Seeing this, the players hiding in the dark instantly became excited.

"Look, these bastards finally couldn't bear it anymore!"

"Zhou Cao, so the Shining Star Islands can be saved?"

"It's too early to say this. Who knows whether that army can successfully stop the sea monster? If it can't stop us, we will still have to run away."

"Everything is inseparable from running, right? Soybean sweats."

Ji Chen stood on the high ground of the island, looking at the sea in the distance with his hands behind his hands.

Suddenly, a wisp of restlessness was heard in the wind, and a dozen black spots appeared in the sky in the distance, and the army instantly became vigilant.

The water elf archer held a bow in one hand and condensed arrows in the other, pointing arrows into the distant sky. Dragon-horned catfish and silver sea elves also prepared spells and looked toward the southern sky from a distance. The guards also reorganized their formations, watching eagerly.

Several heroic units were about to come to protect Ji Chen, but he raised his hand to stop them from attacking. He then signaled to Alice and then returned to the military formation.

The latter understood, put on his mask and stepped forward.

Phew~

The giant sea eagle slowly descended from the sky, and a group of Star City soldiers jumped out from it.

The soldiers looked at the powerful army in front of them with complicated expressions, with both fear and a hint of hope in their hearts.

This army is the only hope to save the Starry Islands.

The leader of the team stepped forward and came to Alice.

Beat your chest with your right hand.

"Councillor Hardman sent us here to inform you that Shining City is willing to accept your conditions. Please send troops to the south of the archipelago as soon as possible to resist the tide of sea monsters."

Alice smiled faintly, remembering the adults' previous arrangements, and said calmly.

"Tell Mr. Parliament Speaker that because of the red flames they responded to, our preparations to resist the sea beasts could not be completed in time. Therefore, my master said that we would have to pay more than the previously agreed price. Well, it is about three hundred thousand. What a rare resource looks like.”

"Otherwise we may have little incentive to fight the tide of leviathans."

The squad leader looked confused and swallowed.

Although it sounds a bit strange, he is only a small person, so these matters should be left to the parliamentarians to decide.

"I will pass this on to Council Speaker Hardeman."

The giant sea eagle came and went in a hurry, and soon turned into black dots and disappeared in the sky.

After receiving this information, the Star City Council immediately exploded.

"Damn it, how dare that guy? Isn't this just raising the price!?"

"This man is a hundred times more treacherous than those goblin merchants! Does he think that three hundred thousand rare resources is a small amount? It is enough to buy a small island!"

They were very angry, and it was already very painful to meet the previous conditions.

Now the so-called owner of the woman who bought a mask actually continued to negotiate the price at this juncture, and also gave the reason of not having enough preparation time.

These 300,000 rare resources are not much compared to one-tenth of their family property, but it is a bit disgusting to suddenly mention them at this last moment.

It's like he's deliberately trying to disgust them.

It's simply too much!

But there was nothing they could do.

Council President Hardman suppressed the anger in his heart and said loudly.

"Everyone, we have no time to continue arguing. The tide of sea monsters will arrive in less than a day. Time is life now."

"I'm afraid this rapidly fermenting public opinion was catalyzed by them in order to make us submit. Otherwise, how could those untouchables have the courage to gather in front of the city hall to protest?"

"This behavior is very despicable, but no matter how unacceptable the conditions proposed by this jackal are, we can only agree. We must cooperate with them first."

"Only when we use them to repel the tide of sea monsters will we have a chance to take revenge!"

These remarks were approved by the majority of MPs.

"That's right, we must make them pay the price later! Let them know that Star City is not something anyone can manipulate."

"We can also use a little reward to secretly issue a commission and drive those glory lords to assassinate the owner of the masked woman."

"This is a good idea. Anyway, those Lords of Glory are guys who regard money as life and value petty profits. I believe they should be happy to accept such a commission."

Ji Chen didn't know that he was suddenly saddled with several scapegoats. He did not guide the public opinion of the residents of Xingyao City, and there was no need to do so. After all, the Xingyao Islands had no other choice but to rely on them to repel the sea beasts.

In addition, he is really not just asking for money. If he wants to repel the sea monster army with thousands of troops, advance arrangements are necessary.

Those 300,000 yuan for rare resources are really a childish price...well, it's a bit dark indeed.

But when the team of soldiers appeared in the sky again riding giant sea eagles, Ji Chen knew that the deal had been reached.

The Champions of the Ocean team, which had rested for a long time, started moving again, moving towards the south of the Star Glory Islands under the command of various hero units.

"Tell your Chancellor Hardeman that I need your assistance."

Before he came, he had received an order from the council to fully cooperate with the other party, so he nodded without any hesitation, "All soldiers in the Shining Star Islands will obey the command and fully cooperate with you."

Alice, who was still wearing a mask, was unambiguous when she saw this and continued.

"I need you to evacuate the residents of the islands on the southern side of the Shining Star Archipelago, and then place a large amount of meat on the routes in the centers of each island, preferably fresh and bloody."

"You finish it as soon as possible. We will send troops to involve you for a while."

"In addition, you must follow our instructions and use the coastal defense batteries on the islands to minimize the scope of the sea beasts' spread."

"You need to guard Xingyao City and the port. According to our experience, some scattered sea monsters will get lost in the sea monster tide, and they may wander near the gathering place."

"That's it, we'll take care of the rest."

Although they could receive the money, they were still very dedicated and serious, and stated several key points.

"Understood." The team leader kept all this in mind and quickly rode away on the giant sea eagle.

After seeing them leaving, Ji Chen came out of the military formation.

"Sir, I told them every word of your instructions."

Ji Chen nodded slightly. Unlike the Crown of the Ocean, the Xingyao Islands have considerable strategic depth. Thousands of islands form a rather vast battlefield.

In this way, they don't need to fight on a defensive line like the Crown of the Ocean. They can make full use of space in exchange for time and kill the sea beasts at the minimum cost.

In order to complete the arrangement mentioned before, the remaining time was definitely not enough, so the soul slave army was sent to involve them - they were all free soul slaves, and it would not be a pity even if all of them were lost.

Under Alice's skillful operation, the Soul Servants Army attracted the attention of the tide of sea monsters, making their route slightly more tortuous. Although it was not a complete deviation, it also made them arrive at the Starry Islands a little later. It took half a day.

This half day plus the original time gave them just enough time to complete the arrangement.

The additional 300,000 rare resources are used to make up for the loss of the soul slave army. After all, catching more than a thousand qualified soul slaves is not an easy task.

A large amount of meat was transported from the icehouse in Shining City, sprinkled with fresh blood, and then transported to dozens of islands on the south side of the archipelago, or placed on fishing boats and anchored on specific water surfaces. position as bait.

The placement of these meats seems to be haphazard, but if you look down from the air, you can clearly see that the placement is generally pyramid-shaped.

The wide side faces outward, and the pointed side faces deep into the archipelago.

Sea beasts like meat, and they become even more crazy when they smell blood, so they will desperately want to eat.

Therefore, Ji Chen put old wine in new bottles and placed meat in specific locations according to the previous principle of using boats as baits in Ocean Crown. In this way, the sea beasts attracted by it will step into the pocket formation, and the width of the battlefield will continue to shrink. , this will allow the sea beast to move toward the defense line obediently and not escape to other places.

After all, no matter how high the quality of the Ocean Champions team is, they only have a few thousand, and their defense range is limited. There is nothing they can do if the sea beasts run wild.

The coastal defense batteries built on various islands were reactivated, and groups of soldiers from the Xingyao Islands were stationed.

I don’t know if the Star City Council has figured it out or something, and finally made up its mind to resist the sea monster.

Therefore, boatloads of artillery shells and mines were delivered. These bulky mines, originally used to defend enemy ships, were placed in the waterways that the pocket array must pass through under the guidance of Ocean Crown.

Time gradually passed, and with the efforts of everyone, a large net covering the south side of the Xingyao Islands was gradually woven into shape.

Located at the top of the "pyramid" are two islands not far from each other. The terrain is like two feet standing in a military posture, extending for more than ten kilometers to the southeast and southwest respectively. There are knife-like cliffs on the islands. Between the two islands It is separated by a strait about three kilometers wide.

The final line of defense is here. If the plan goes well, most of the sea beasts will be lured here and dragged here thanks to the natural terrain.

The limited width of the defense line will prevent them from exerting their overwhelming numerical advantage. They can only use a small number of sea beasts to continuously attack this three-kilometer-long defense line, and then be continuously consumed until the last sea beast is lost.

Of course, this is the most perfect result.

Ji Chen stood at the highest point of the west mountain, looking at the stacked islands in the distance, clenching his fists secretly, as if he could see a huge surging tide of sea beasts in front of his eyes.

It would be a lie to say that I wasn’t a little nervous.

That was a wave of millions of sea beasts. Even if this number was just an exaggeration, and the actual number must be somewhat different, eight or nine million sea beasts would definitely not be able to escape.

This means that one of their units has to kill a full 150 sea beasts.

Even if Alchemy has the help of artillery, mines and the like, it can only kill a small part of them. The outcome of this battle still depends on the Crown of the Ocean.

If you win, you will be able to take away a very considerable reward, and then you will not have to worry about the resources consumed in recruiting the next round of troops.

If they lose, they can only run away in despair. The Shining Star Islands will be swallowed up by the tide of sea beasts and turned into a dead zone, and countless indigenous people will become food.

Inexplicably, he suddenly felt a little heavy on his shoulders.

Woohoo——

The dull horn sound suddenly sounded.

Ji Chen looked serious.

The sea beast tide is coming!
