Tonight, silence served as the bridge for those gathered there.
Players present exchanged looks of astonishment and awe.
Their doubts vanished in an instant.
No wonder this person was so strong; he was none other than the Islander himself. Everything made sense now.
Some players who came from the mainland haven’t heard much about this name and look puzzled, asking in hushed tones, “Is the Islander famous?”
A player nearby spat and replied, “Being called the number one player in the Western Mid-Ocean, isn’t that famous enough for you?”
“Number one player…”
Looking at the towering ocean giant, a hint of recognition flashes in everyone’s eyes.
Remembering the fierce attacks by the two major guilds earlier, and how they, with so many players, couldn’t eliminate his army in days, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration.
“So, are we going to continue fighting?”
Someone cautiously asked.
“Fight my ass? Why bother? Can’t you see that the Islander still has strength left? Besides, the defenders of Feiguang City will arrive soon, and I don’t want to be stuck here getting beaten up.”
As this statement was made, many players nodded in agreement and began ordering their armies to retreat.
Ten minutes later, the players and units that once filled the entire peninsula scattered in all directions, leaving it empty.
They came with such a show of force, but now they departed so lightly.
Apart from the thousands of corpses left behind, everything seems to return to its original state.
Ji Chen relaxed his brow, casually waving his hand as the ocean giant transformed into a spray of water, merging back into the sea.
Returning to the ground, he watched as over a hundred giant eagles circled in the skyland, and soldiers jumped down from them.
“Lord Ji Chen, the Lord of Sylvansai City has sent us to escort you back.”
The leading centurion’s expression was respectful, his tone deferential.
What courage this was.
Facing a powerful invader, Lord Ji Chen didn’t choose to flee but instead came here voluntarily. He used a bounty to draw thousands of Glory Lords here, reducing the pressure on Feiguang City’s defense and holding on until the last moment.
What’s even more terrifying was that, even when facing so many enemies, he didn’t exert his full strength. Just the three heroic units standing beside him emit an aura that made others shudder.
And Lord Ji Chen himself was a formidable presence capable of turning the tide of battle…
Seeing the centurion’s increasingly respectful expression, Ji Chen casually waved his hand and said, “No need, I’ll rest here for now.”
The centurion hesitated, feeling a bit troubled.
“But the Lord of the city said we must bring you back. I heard that Princess Monica will be arriving soon.”
Ji Chen’s eyes light up. Monica is coming?
Come to think of it, he hadn’t seen that lovely girl in several months. If she was coming to Feiguang City, it might be worth meeting her.
“All right, you go back first. I’ll be there shortly.”
The centurion nodded and boarded the giant eagle to return to Feiguang City with the message.
After these messenger soldiers departed, the entire peninsula was finally left with only them.
Stepping on the corpses strewn about, Ji Chen arrived at a high point and looked inland.
It seemed that the players had indeed left. Except for the remnants of the camp ruins, there was nothing alive on this grassy plain.
He turned around.
From the high ground to the abandoned town below, all that met the eye was a reddish-brown color. Blood had seeped into the soil and bricks, forming a stream of blood that twisted and spread on the ground like the capillaries of a human body.
The ground, bombarded by artillery and magical spells, was pockmarked with craters filled with countless bodies—humans, orcs, undead, sea creatures…
Hundreds of thousands, even millions of troops would forever remain there. On that land, all races were equal in death.
Watching that gruesome scene, Ji Chen remained calm, showing no signs of discomfort or pity.
One’s triumph had led to the withering of countless lives.
What he could do was selectively bestow death.
Let the unjust and the greedy perish, while the loyal and upright survived.
Woo-
At that moment, a distant, muffled horn suddenly sounded again, and a massive player army appeared at the end of the grassland, coming into view.
Ji Chen instantly became alert. Could it be that those players hadn’t given up and wanted to continue the fight?
“Stay alert, be ready to counterattack at any moment!”
The surviving Ocean Crown army showed no fear. With just a word from their lord, they could unleash their full combat power, rivaling their complete formation strength, and bring death to their enemies.
As that player’s army approached, Ji Chen slowly raised his hand, preparing for a thunderous attack.
“Brothers, don’t open fire!”
“We are allies!”
Ji Chen’s expression momentarily froze, and he lowered his hand slowly.
Seeing this, the player army approached, led by a player in his thirties who seemed to be the leader of a guild.
He raised his hand to signal the army to stop several hundred meters away and then, along with a few players, climbed the high ground and greeted Ji Chen with a respectful smile.
“Brother Ji Chen, I’m Wang Shanyue, the president of the Shanyue Guild. Nice to meet you.”
“I’m Ji Chen.” Ji Chen nodded slightly and looked at the army not far away, numbering as many as four to five hundred thousand, asking, “Why did you come?”
“We are guilds from the Lienhardt Grand Duchy camp,” Wang Shanyue said with an air of familiarity. “We’ve come to support you. Haven’t you checked the forum?”
With great enthusiasm, he continued, “With us here, you don’t have to fear those little rabbits from the Kingdom of Bass. This time, I’ve brought a whole three million troops. These are just the vanguard..”
