Ji Chen nodded slightly.
Leaving Kris to wait for a moment, he went to a pile of broken stones and called over more than ten Naga Berserkers to dig inside.
Soon, they excavated a completely black metal crossbow bolt engraved with mysterious runes.
This was the runic arrow that the Silver Masked Deceiver had used to shoot him back then. At this moment, it seemed to have exhausted all its power, with the runes and patterns now dim and faded. Nevertheless, it still couldn’t conceal its sharp edge.
[Godslayer Bolt]
[Tier]: 5 stars
[Effects]:
[A runic crossbow bolt crafted through intricate processes, possessing formidable lethality, but now out of energy]
[Full power can be unleashed when used with the Godslayer Crossbow Bed]
Well, even a single crossbow bolt is a five-star treasure, and it seems to be a disposable item.
He also found the firing device that the Deceiver hadn’t had time to retrieve, which was also a five-star treasure, just like the crossbow bolt.
[Godslayer Crossbow Apparatus]
[Tier]: 5 stars
[Range]: 30 to 800 meters (additional 800 meters when equipped with the Godslayer Crossbow)
Combining these two five-star treasures created such terrifying killing power.
Apart from these two items, the Deceiver, who knew there was no hope of victory, also left behind the Rainstorm Crossbow Carriages that had caused them a lot of trouble.
Twenty Rainstorm Crossbow Carriages, fifteen of them were completely destroyed, leaving only five that were barely intact, with some damage preventing them from firing.
These were also a fortune. If their structure and manufacturing process could be cracked, the Crown of the Ocean would have another powerful city defense weapon.
The Godslayer Crossbow Apparatus and the Godslayer Bolt followed the same logic.
One day, if he could mass-produce both of them, Ji Chen vowed to have the Naga Berserkers carry one and catch those stupid Deceivers to shoot them down.
Although he appeared calm and composed, he had already quietly written them into his mental “to-do” list.
Kris also noticed Ji Chen’s actions of collecting the Godslayer Crossbow Apparatus and the Rainstorm Crossbow Carriages, but she remained indifferent. This battle was dominated by Ji Chen and the Crown of the Ocean, and when they arrived here, the battle was already in its final stages. They were just here to wrap things up.
Following that, Ji Chen had the army divide the bodies of the dozen or so Marshland Dragons that had died, resurrected, and then suddenly died again after breaking through the defense line.
It had been some time since they died, so they only collected about a thousand dragon blood crystals from these dozen or so Marshland Dragons. Added to the previous collection, they had a total of around 2500 crystals, barely meeting the earlier set goal.
Ji Chen cleaned up the spoils of war and began to assess the losses suffered by his army.
This time, he had brought a total of over 1600 units of troops, with Naga Berserkers and Dragon Blood Murlocs each accounting for half of that number.
Under the attacks of the Mountain Troll and the Deceivers, the Naga Berserkers were essentially wiped out, with only a little over a hundred units left.
The Dragon Blood Murlocs fared slightly better but still suffered a loss of more than half, with nearly 500 units perishing.
Learning about this, Ji Chen couldn’t help but feel astonished. If it weren’t for the ability to resurrect fallen troops using the Resurrection Altar, these losses would have been enough to trouble him for a while.
After clearing the battlefield, Ji Chen led his troops, along with Kris and her group, back to Maple Harbor.
The journey was relatively calm.
Last time, the Mountain Trolls had hidden because they wanted him to relax his guard and fall into their trap.
But this time, it was genuinely peaceful.
In that recent battle, thousands of Mountain Trolls in this area were killed or injured, with only the Troll chieftain escaping with a few lackeys. It could almost be said that their entire army had been wiped out.
So, there was no real threat along the way.
Moreover, there was a whole squad of elves skilled in jungle warfare guarding them, which reduced their concerns, and they could travel faster.
Three days later, after either sleeping or rushing on the road day and night, Ji Chen and his group arrived outside Maple Harbor, near the ocean. Ji Chen, who had been pushing himself to the limit, felt his strength returning and breathed a sigh of relief.
If the Mountain Trolls and Deceivers from before had appeared here, he could handle them on his own.
Sighing inwardly, he realized that the ocean was truly his home turf!
Gradually calming his emotions, Ji Chen narrowed his eyes.
Now, it was time to do something.
He turned to Kris and asked, “Kris, in what way and on what grounds can we capture Lord of Glory players in Maple City?”
Kris had gathered some information during their journey and had a rough idea of what had led to Ji Chen being successfully besieged by Mountain Trolls and Deceivers. Seeing his stern and resolute expression, she guessed what he had in mind.
With that in mind, she replied, “We have close ties with the elves and the Maple Principality. We can ask them to send soldiers to assist with the capture.
This matter, we can assist you with.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Chen nodded slightly.
If the Maple Principality personally handled the capture, it would save him a lot of trouble.
His expression softened a bit.
“Thank you.”
Kris smiled and shook her head. “Compared to the help you’ve given me before, this is just a small matter.”
After asking for their names, Kris hurriedly left with the squad of elves.
Ji Chen returned to the estate in Maple Harbor, waiting in silence.
On that afternoon, three players were escorted to the manor by a fully armed squad of soldiers.
To their surprise, it was Monkey Gift, Monkey Gift Hair, and Luo Yang.
All three of them were bound tightly, but their expressions varied.
The first two wore perplexed expressions, while the latter had a pallid face.
As soon as they were brought in, Monkey Gift Hair saw Ji Chen, who was playing the role of Mr. Zhao, and his face was filled with bewilderment. He had no idea when he had offended this extravagant spendthrift.
They had always diligently completed tasks and commissions. Their greatest indulgence was splurging in the Sixth District, and the most notorious act they had committed was stealing a few cows from someone else’s territory.
Such crimes were far from warranting the capture of an entire squad of Maple Principality soldiers.
Soon, Monkey Gift Hair began to suspect that it might have something to do with the incident at the Cat Tail Tavern a few days ago.
He cried and explained, “Mr. Zhao, we absolutely haven’t done anything to wrong you! There must be some misunderstanding!”
Monkey Gift Hair, with a terrified expression, added, feeling the intense murderous intent emanating from the powerful individuals on both sides, “That’s right, even if you want to eliminate us, at least let us die with a clear conscience!”
Ji Chen sneered. “Are you sure you haven’t done anything to wrong me? If it weren’t for you guys, I might have lost my life out there.”
“Did you leak the information you sold me to others?”
The two Monkey Gift brothers were stunned, and they hurriedly replied, “Absolutely not! Even though we may lack strength and have rather unattractive appearances, our integrity is beyond reproach. The information we sold won’t be sold to anyone else.”
“When you’re in this line of work, trust is crucial, and we won’t tarnish our reputation!”
Watching them tearfully explain, it didn’t seem like they were lying. Ji Chen hesitated. Could it really not be these two clowns?
At this moment, Monkey Gift suddenly thought of something and nodded towards Luo Yang, who was standing nearby. “Uncle Luo also knows that we value our integrity and wouldn’t do anything so outrageous. Uncle Luo, please vouch for us!”
Luo Yang kept his head low and remained silent.
After a long while, his hoarse voice slowly rang out, “Since you were able to come back alive, you should know about their existence. So, I won’t hide it anymore.
The information and messages were given by me. It’s all my responsibility, and these two kids don’t know anything about it. Don’t make it hard on them.”
As this statement came out, both Monkey Gift and Monkey Gift Hair were dumbfounded, saying in a dry manner, “Uncle Luo… Are you joking?”
Ji Chen looked at Luo Yang, who had a desolate expression, and narrowed his eyes.
It seems that there is a connection with Luo Yang..
