Chapter 456: Condensing Water into Soldiers, Occupy or Return

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Just a momentary daze, a gleam of wild delight flickered in Hadman’s eyes.

This is what you asked for. We’ve aiready given you a chance. If you insist on pursuing that unrealistic reward, then you’ll be stuck here forever.

Once we’ve dealt with ail of you, we’ll eliminate anyone in the vicinity who has witnessed this, thus concealing everything.

Then, they would publicly declare that Starshine City repelled the Sea Beast Tide. The merchants would return, and the Starshine Islands would regain their former prosperity.

In an instant, lladman had the future all planned out.

His thoughts returned.

A fierce expression appeared on his face, and he raised his right hand, gesturing firmly, “Seal this place off and eliminate them.”

His family’s private army suddenly sprang into action, and upon seeing this, the other council members also issued attack orders.

The warships on the sea raised their cannons slightly, and the well-trained sailors immediately loaded ammunition and then pulled the ropes vigorously.

After a brief pause, the cannon muzzles emitted sparks of orange light, and the shells traced a smooth arc, ready to rain death upon the enemy.

Ji Chen watched the council’s private army approaching steadily, sighing softly.

“Deal with them.”

This sentence was like a command, and the Crown of the Ocean’s forces suddenly sprang into action.

All their units quickly submerged, disappearing from the water’s surface in the blink of an eye, leaving only ripples of turmoil behind.

In the next moment, gunfire spread across the water’s surface, but under the surging spray, not a single body could be seen.

Just as the sailors on the nearest warship were preparing to drop depth charges to prevent the enemy from approaching underwater.

They were suddenly shaken violently by the ship’s intense tremors, falling in all directions. Before they could regain their balance, they heard cries of terror coming from inside the ship.

“Water’s leaking into the hold! Those damn things are boring holes in the ship!”

“Quick, perform damage control and repair the hull! The torpedo team, use depth charges to kill those damn things!”

The sailors turned pale, the enemy came too fast, it had only been a short ten seconds before they reached the bottom of the ship?

They didn’t even have the time to launch the depth charges!

The ones responsible for boring holes in the ship were the Dragonblood Legion, the fastest unit in the Crown of the Ocean. The moment they submerged, they split into dozens of teams and charged toward the enemy ships. With precision, they used tridents to bore holes in the ship’s bottom.

In just over ten seconds, they turned the entire ship’s bottom into a sieve, and seawater desperately poured in.

When the sailors rose from the shaking and tossed depth charges into the water, the Dragon Blood Murlocs who had completed their hole-boring mission had already withdrawn to a safe distance, watching as the depth charges exploded pointlessly.

And soon, they found that they could not stop the seawater from flooding the ship’s hold. If they did not leave now, they would also sink into the sea.

They could only reluctantly escape, jumping into the sea from the deck, swimming to a distance, and then helplessly watching the warship sink.

But at this moment, they suddenly found something terrifying in the water…

As the warships quickly went under the water, numerous sailors found themselves in a desperate situation, struggling on the surface like dumplings in hot water. They were pulled down by unidentified foes, and soon, there was a shocking scene of blood in the water, with cries and screams filling the air without end.

lladman and the council members were dumbfounded, followed by a sense of heartache.

The heartache was not for the sailors; sailors could be hired for a pittance from the Nightingale Tavern in the harbor, and their lives were expendable.

But a warship—even if it was made of wood—was worth tens of thousands of gold coins, and it took a considerable amount of time and resources to build them.

In addition, no matter how many sailors’ lives were sacrificed, it couldn’t make up for the various cannons and bomb launchers equipped on the ships.

For them, this was a significant loss of money!

Now they realized that their navy couldn’t possibly match the native and adept sea clan units in battle.

Their gaze shifted to Ji Chen and Alice not far away.

In that case, let’s capture the ringleader first.

Since they couldn’t defeat the sea clan and couldn’t capture them, they would start by catching this human who seemed to have little combat capability.

They believed that if they were to control their leader, the rest of the army would crumble on its own!

“Capture him for me!”

The private army surged forward, their weapons poised for a frontal assault.

Ji Chen looked slightly astonished, and there was even a hint of amusement in his expression. It was the first time he had been underestimated like this.

Did these council members not learn about the situation on the battlefield against sea beasts from their soldiers? They actually thought they could capture him with these feeble private troops?

“Alice.”

No need for many words, no need for many questions. Alice’s expression turned cold, her eyes filled with a hint of killing intent.

A strange, ancient rhythm, as if it came from the deep sea, suddenly echoed in the harbor, penetrating the ears of everyone around, just like seawater flowing into their ears.

The frontmost group of a thousand private soldiers suddenly halted in unison, disrupting the rhythm of the following private troops.

At the very moment when others were in doubt, they, like humanoid alchemical robots receiving a signal, collectively turned around and swiftly raised their weapons to strike at their colleagues.

In an instant, screams echoed from the sea surface to the harbor, and the scent of blood filled the air.

The other private military forces had never anticipated that their colleagues would suddenly attack them, resulting in heavy losses..
