Chapter 385: Robbed! Attack and Defense, the Dangerous Man

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Without time for further thought, Ji Chen swiftly headed towards the New Moon Islands.

The closer they got to the New Moon Islands, the more wreckage of ships floated on the sea, and hundreds of Lizardmen warrior corpses bobbed amidst the waves.

This time, on their journey to the Maple Principality, the Crown of the Ocean only had a dozen or so warships left to guard it, with most of the sailors and soldiers on board being Lizardmen warriors.

Seeing so many shipwrecks and corpses in such a dire condition, it was imaginable that the enemy had almost instantly destroyed the defending warships when they attacked.

Looking at this scene, Ji Chen’s expression grew even more solemn.

The enemy that had launched this assault was not to be underestimated.

The Tyrant Azure Dragon carried them swiftly past the northeastern sub-islands and entered from the east side.

Just as they rounded the island chain, they saw a blazing harbor and water fort. Thick ink-like smoke billowed into the sky.

Two steel warships were anchored near the sea, their hefty cannons slightly raised. Flames burst forth suddenly, and from the flames, a volley of cannonballs shot out, landing on the island and igniting towering flames.

An unfamiliar flag fluttered atop the warship’s bridge, one they had never seen before.

However, Ji Chen’s anger was far from subsiding. The Crown of the Ocean had been his passion project, the result of endless hard work and unwavering commitment. Now, it was being callously manipulated by an unidentified enemy. How could he not be furious?

The mana within his body surged like boiling hot oil, and the surrounding seawater roiled as if in the grip of a Category 12 typhoon. Countless bodies of water defied gravity, lifting Ji Chen’s form into the sky.

The Tidal Dominion.

This display quickly caught the attention of the soldiers on the two steel warships, and they turned to look, witnessing an awe-inspiring sight.

Countless spiraling bodies of seawater floated in the air, and the mana had taken on substantial form, resembling threads of silk encircling the surroundings. Suspended within the seawater was a figure.

The soldiers’ pupils contracted sharply as they felt pressure akin to mountains and sharpness like sword blades.

This person was extremely dangerous!

Years of training compelled them to react instinctively.

“Enemy spotted!!!”

“Rotate the cannons! Fire!!”

The cannons, originally pointed towards the island, quickly rotated and elevated. In no time, they were aimed at the figure, and after a brief delay, flames erupted, sending dozens of alchemical cannonballs straight towards their target.

Ji Chen raised his right hand, and a crystalline water shield appeared before him. The next moment, the cannonballs collided and violently exploded.

Boom!

The explosion sent up a large cloud of smoke, obstructing the view of all the soldiers.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers on the warships couldn’t help but show a hint of satisfaction. In their eyes, no one could withstand the bombardment of cannonballs, and the fate of being hit by so many cannonballs was undoubtedly death.

This was the kind of thinking ingrained in them through years of warfare; any flesh and blood creature would be torn apart amidst cannonballs and explosions.

But their smiles quickly froze.

Because the seawater floating in the air had not fallen but remained suspended. This could only mean that the person…

Suddenly, they looked up.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, it revealed the figure behind, completely unscathed.

How was this possible? How could someone emerge unscathed in the face of cannonballs!?

Ji Chen stared coldly at them from above, his eyes revealing a chilling intent, like icy points.

With a mighty wave of his hand, two colossal waves formed on either side, carrying an overwhelming force as they swept forward.

The two steel warships, each tens of meters long, seemed minuscule beneath these towering waves. The soldiers watched in terror as the approaching waves overwhelmed them. They were so terrified that they forgot to cry out for help, only able to stare helplessly as the waves bore down on them.

From the sky, the two waves merged like two colossal palms, colliding with terrifying force.

Boom!

A heavy explosion resounded through the heavens.

The waves collided, and seawater shot into the sky.

The splashing water droplets created a splendid rainbow in mid-air, exuding a breathtaking beauty.

As the seawater gradually subsided, it revealed two steel warships, both heavily damaged.

The stout cannons were bent, the towering smokestacks broken in two, and the glass of the bridge shattered. The deck was in disarray.

Fortunately, these were ships constructed of steel, so they didn’t shatter like wooden ships with a single impact.

There were a few soldiers on the deck who had miraculously survived the waves, and they managed to stand up despite their wobbling bodies.

As they gazed at the figure in the sky, fear had completely filled their hearts.

To create such a natural disaster barehanded, wasn’t this a power possessed only by deities?

At this moment, they were overwhelmed with regret for coming here. But it was too late to turn back. They watched as the figure in the sky casually waved a hand, and two more waves surged forth, engulfing them entirely.

The two steel warships were once again submerged, but this time, they couldn’t maintain their balance and slowly sank beneath the waves.

Whew…

Ji Chen took a deep breath, and the anger in his heart subsided, gradually stabilizing his emotions.

Looking toward the island, faint sounds of battle emanated from the direction of the Lord’s Castle, indicating that the enemy had successfully landed and had already reached the Lord’s Castle.

If the Lord’s Castle were destroyed or occupied, according to the system’s rules, the territory would fall, and he would lose everything in the territory.

This was something Ji Chen couldn’t accept.

In the heat of the moment, he swiftly led Alice and Verena onto the harbor.

What met their eyes was a scene of chaos and destruction. The relentless artillery fire had wreaked havoc, reducing nearly everything in its path to ruins. Fires raged, buildings crumbled, and strewn across the ground were the lifeless forms of various beings – Lizardman warriors, Murloc raiders, Half-Orc warriors, and even the remnants of alchemical creations like Ruins Guardians. Strangely absent were the bodies of any innocent civilians..
