Chapter 409 - 409: Clear the Ruin, Enchanted Anchor Points, Wilderness Ambitions
A large group of underwater lizards had unknowingly built their nests in this ruin, and now, they sensed the approach of intruders and scrambled out of the wreckage.
Ji Chen gazed at them, and the information panel appeared before him.
Underwater Lizards, Tier 4, 9 stars, in groups of three thousand.
“Herald, Benbo, lead your legions to attack and eliminate these reptiles.
Alice, send out the Legion of Soul Servants. Don’t worry about casualties; you can replenish the ranks from these reptiles.
The Guardian Legion will provide all of you with firepower support.”
Ji Chen remained composed, issuing commands in just a few words.
The three heroes nodded in agreement and led their legions into battle.
The first to arrive on the battlefield was Alice’s Legion of Soul Servants. At first glance, this legion, numbering only twelve hundred, had at least thirty different species, including half-fish beings, reptiles, octopuses, jellyfish, and more. The variety was so extensive that it could fill an aquarium. Among the many legions, the Legion of Soul Servants had the highest casualty rate, but each time, Ji Chen deliberately left a portion of incapacitated monsters for Alice to enslave and replenish the lost forces.
In this way, despite the high casualties in each battle, they could quickly replenish their troops through war.
Under Alice’s control, the Legion of Soul Servants rushed out ferociously, using their teeth to bite, their tentacles to bind, their claws to tear, and attacking in the most primitive and brutal manner, fearless of life or death.
They immediately disrupted the enemy’s formation, entangling them like a tangle of ropes.
The next assault was launched by the Guardian Legion, and they showered the enemy with arrows. These arrows, fired by the water nymph archers and silver sea pixies, had distinct colors that stood out against the deep blue sea. The water nymphs’ arrows had an icy blue hue, making them easily noticeable. The torrent of arrows created ripples in the water as they hit their targets, further disrupting the underwater lizards from the Legion of Soul Servants.
Then, the Naga Guardians, making their debut after their advancement, under the leadership of Herald, demonstrated their terrifying combat power.
The Naga Guardians, each resembling a small giant, swung their bone blades, and with a swing, they could cut an underwater lizard in half or decapitate it.
And these reptiles, with claws that could tear through iron armor, only left a light scratch on their thick scales.
Leading the charge at the forefront, Herald, who had somewhat separated from the main force, had a cold expression. He conjured a blue-white lightning ball in his hand, only about ten centimeters in diameter, but anyone could feel the terrifying energy from it.
In an instant, this dazzling lightning ball became the most eye-catching presence in the surroundings.
Herald gently waved his hand, and the lightning ball was thrown towards the densest enemy position.
Boom!
After a brief delay, the throwing point suddenly swelled into a semicircular dust cloud, and then the blue-white branching lightning, like venomous snakes, shot out and instantly spread to any position within forty to fifty meters.
The underwater lizards that were affected first stiffened their bodies and then ceased to move.
Their bodies remained completely intact, but their vitality was completely severed at that moment.
After the explosion, there were still remnants of lightning in the area, flashing silently in the seawater.
A silent massacre.
Seeing this, even these beasts who only knew about killing and eating felt fear. They carefully bypassed and turned to find relatively smaller Dragon Blood Murlocs.
But before they could reach them, the Dragon Blood Murlocs suddenly released a burst of draconic power. The racial gap and bloodline suppression made them slump to the ground, losing their fighting ability. They were effortlessly skewered to death with a light stab.
Just at a glance, this battle had no suspense. Under absolute power suppression, they had little room for resistance. These underwater lizards, who had claimed dominance here, faced a devastating blow.
In a little over ten minutes, the entire group of underwater lizards, capable of wreaking havoc on a town, was wiped out. Only a portion of them remained subdued by the Dragon Blood Murlocs’ draconic power, ready to be enslaved and used to replace the losses, all under Alice’s mental command.
Within the vast ruins, it once again fell into silence.
But there were now thousands of corpses on the ground, with limbs and body parts floating with the currents.
Ji Chen’s earlier decision to eliminate the Dragon King City’s legion of a thousand soldiers had left Andar, who was already quite upset, in utter disbelief. This brutal display of power was overwhelmingly one-sided. In fact, it completely reshaped Andar’s perception of the Ocean Crown team’s strength.
It made him wonder if such a powerful army could defeat even the Dragon King City’s most formidable secret units.
This made him even more conflicted.
Just now, Andar saw Ji Chen ignore his thoughts and directly slaughter the entire legion of a thousand people from Dragon King City. It made him almost want to part ways with him.
His principles did not align with the actions of this human lord from another world, but he had to rely on him to reclaim the throne. So, he had to endure it.
This kind of situation, where he had to rely on someone he clearly disliked, drove him almost to madness.
But Andar had planted a seed in his heart. After reclaiming the throne, he would definitely work with the Coral Lord to expel this human lord from this world. Otherwise, such a powerful army, led by a lord who was so indiscriminate in killing, would undoubtedly pose a significant threat to the safety and peace of the Great Luminescent Sea in the long run..
