Seeing these lords of glory express their thanks one after another, Alice, who was wearing a mask, showed little reaction.

This was just the Lord’s mission.

This wave of sea beasts had been defeated, and the crisis in the Starshine Islands was completely resolved.

After resting for half a day, the Ocean Crown team set off again, heading to Starshine City, the heart of the islands, to receive their rewards.

With the thought of this, Ji Chen’s mood improved, and he urged the troops to march faster.

Two hours later, they arrived at the core of the Starshine Islands—Starshine City.

Previously, it was Alice who delivered the message, and he was here for the first time, showing a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

As the core of an archipelago that had been developed for hundreds of years, the island where Starshine City was located had been built very well.

On the edge of the island, there was a large harbor area built along the shore. Although the buildings and harbors here were not as tall and spectacular as those in Maple Harbor, the rows of four to five-story houses and spacious, well-organized roads still revealed the aura of human civilization.

He believed that after the Sea Beast Tide is over, this place would return to its former prosperity.

As the army approached the dock, Ji Chen’s gaze wandered, and his expression became slightly serious.

There were no welcoming crowds waiting for them here, but rather human armies, fully armed and exuding a cold and murderous aura.

From their appearance and demeanor, it was clear that they were more powerful than the ordinary Starshine City soldiers and numbered quite a few.

This left him puzzled. If Starshine City had such a decent army, why didn’t they send them to the battlefield?

Moreover, judging from their looks, they weren’t here to welcome their triumphant return.

The newcomers were unfriendly.

He became wary in his heart.

In fact, the armed forces of the Starshine Islands were divided into two types. One was the regular army belonging to the entire Starshine City, similar to the public forces of the Council.

The other type belonged to the independent private armies of each council family. These were like elite bodyguards, more elite than the regular army, but they only obeyed their respective council families.

And what stood before him was the thirteen private armies belonging to the thirteen council families. Each of them had about two thousand troops, totaling about thirty-five thousand soldiers.

Most of them were at Tier 4, between 3 to 5 stars, and levels 30 to 35. Among them, there were about two thousand units at Tier 5,1 star.

In addition to that, there were dozens of wooden warships roaming around, with the barrels of their cannons adjusting their trajectories, pointing towards the Ocean Crown team, giving off an aura of encirclement.

The coastal defense artillery in the distance was also slowly turning, and the stout cannons were aimed at them.

Seeing this scene, Ji Chen’s gaze turned completely cold, and he casually put on a silver mask to conceal his appearance.

They quickly arrived not far from the dock, and he raised his right hand, signaling the army to stop.

Then, riding a Tyrant Azure Dragon, he came to the shore with Alice and stepped onto the dock.

At this moment, the well-dressed legislators also appeared from behind the private armies.

They cast their gazes on Ji Chen, who appeared for the first time, with a hint of curiosity, as if they wanted to see through the face behind the mask.

Neither side spoke, and a tense atmosphere quickly enveloped the scene.

After a moment, Hadman, the President of the Council, took the initiative to break the silence and walked forward with a smile.

“Your Excellency, are you the commander of this army? May I know how to address you?

This is our first meeting, so let’s introduce ourselves first. We are…”

“No need,” Ji Chen’s voice from behind the mask sounded hoarse and completely different from his true voice, clearly due to the Illusory Mask’s effect. “1 already know about you from my subordinates.

Let’s not waste time. What about the rewards we agreed upon earlier? Are they ready?”

Hadman hesitated for a moment, not paying much attention to Ji Chen’s distant and unapproachable tone. He smiled and said, “Of course, after hearing that Your Excellency successfully repelled the Sea Beast Tide, we immediately made preparations.”

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and several squads of soldiers drove more than a dozen carriages from behind. They lifted the waterproof covers from the cargo compartments, revealing a pile of rare resources and gold coins inside.

More than a dozen carriages filled with rare resources and gold coins indeed looked quite impressive and awe-inspiring. This was evident from the wide-eyed expressions of the onlookers among the players and private soldiers.

However, Ji Chen only gave them a casual glance and furrowed his brows deeply.

The rare resources and gold coins in these more than a dozen carriages appeared substantial, but at most, they amounted to 300,000 units of rare resources and 500,000 gold coins.

This might not necessarily be considered inconsistent with the one-tenth of their family’s income they had agreed upon earlier, but it was worlds apart.

He suppressed his impatience and said slowly, “This seems a bit different from what we discussed before. If 1 recall correctly, the agreed-upon reward was not just this amount. Please double-check, Council President Hadman.”

Hadman, as if he had anticipated this, wore a smile on his face. “Regarding this, Your Excellency, I believe the previously agreed-upon reward seems somewhat unreasonable.

You see, when we resisted the Sea Beast Tide, we mobilized a large number of troops and provided a substantial amount of underwater mines and alchemical cannonballs, which were not mentioned previously.

Furthermore, the meat used to attract the sea beasts was all urgently sourced from the materials depot in Starshine City. It’s top-quality meat imported from the Western Continent, and it’s quite valuable..”
