Ji Chen waited patiently for the return of the scouting team. However, what they received was not intelligence about the unidentified sea tribe army but a severely wounded and diminished lobster guardian knight unit.

Only ten of them remained, all bearing various injuries.

However, the blue-graded excellent lobster guardian knight hero was not among them.

One of the lobster guardian knights recounted what they had encountered.

As they approached the southern region of the Death Sea, they did indeed spot an unidentified sea tribe army, numbering in the tens of thousands and featuring high-tier units. They seemed to be constructing a fortress floating on the sea’s surface.

They intended to get closer for reconnaissance but were suddenly detected for unknown reasons. A large number of high-tier sea tribe units launched an attack on them, causing heavy casualties during their escape. Even the blue-graded excellent lobster guardian knight fell in the pursuit of a large number of pursuers.

The losses this time were significant, as ordinary units could be resurrected at the Resurrection Altar, but hero units could not.

This marked the first time Ocean Crown suffered the loss of a hero unit.

Ji Chen’s expression gradually grew solemn.

This unidentified sea tribe army was far more powerful than he had imagined. Based on the description, this army had at least six ten-thousand-men-sized fourth-tier units, three ten-thousand-men-sized fifth-tier units, and perhaps even some sixth-tier units!

At least from an overt perspective, this army was significantly stronger than the Ocean Crown’s forces, even when combined with Sonia’s Coral Palace army.

At this moment, Marianne and other elder elves arrived, looking at the lobster guardian knights covered in injuries with a puzzled expression. Marianne inquired, “What happened here?”

“A sea tribe army from the Death Sea has taken control of the route to the Maple Principality,” Ji Chen explained. “I believe, Lady Marianne, that you and your companions may need to stay with the Ocean Crown for a while longer.”

Marianne’s expression changed, and she asked, “When can we restore navigation?”

Ji Chen shook his head. “I’m not sure about that. It seems like the sea tribe army has begun to establish a long-term presence, and no one knows what they intend to do.

Unfortunately, if things take a pessimistic turn, we may need to eliminate them before we can reopen the sea route.”

A trace of sorrow flashed across Marianne’s face. Why did they always encounter so many obstacles and troubles on their journey home?

But she quickly rallied and said with determination.

“Lord Ji Chen, if you need any assistance, please don’t hesitate to ask. We will provide help to the best of our abilities.”

Ji Chen nodded in agreement without refusing. These elves, who had survived for hundreds of thousands of years in the vast frozen wilderness, surely possessed unique skills that might come in handy at any time.

With this group that had already launched an attack on them squatting right at their doorstep, everyone had to remain vigilant.

Ji Chen decisively activated the Ocean Crown’s second-level alert, prepared for any potential threats.

Meanwhile, in the southern region of the Death Sea, a sea wyvern carried a sea tribe hero to the massive waterspout. The hero knelt before it, burying his head deeply on the wyvern’s back.

“Master, about ten enemies managed to escape.”

A cold voice resonated from the colossal waterspout.

“Worthless fools, you can’t even capture a hundred enemies. What use are you?” Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

The sea tribe hero dared not raise his head and replied fearfully, “Please forgive me, Master. I will lead the soldiers to pursue and search for them immediately!”

“Hmph, there’s no need.” The colossal waterspout emitted a cold snort. “Your top priority now is to build my palace and forward base. Don’t let some insignificant pests distract you.

Once the construction is complete, this sea area will fall under my rule. Under my shadow, those weaklings who hide and cower will naturally bow down in submission!

Besides, building the palace, gathering resources, and maintaining the future vast kingdom territory will require a substantial servant army. Send people to the surrounding sea areas to gather ordinary sea tribe members and make them serve us.

I’m giving you one more chance. If you don’t seize it properly, you might as well take your own life.”

“Yes!”

As the sea wyvern flapped its wings and flew away, The Lord of the Waves, overlooking the endless expanse of vibrant waters, couldn’t help but show a hint of delight in his eyes.

The ocean outside was much better than the harsh environment of the Death

Sea. Here, there was almost endless food, calm ocean currents, and an untamed power that was never suppressed or hindered.

In just a few days since coming out, he had already experienced the wonders of the outer ocean.

Not only were the sea beasts weak and frighteningly insignificant, but there were also no decent sea tribe settlements to be found. The largest sea tribe they encountered had a mere five hundred members. Such feeble forces could easily be dealt with by his thousand-person team!

He couldn’t believe how beautiful the ocean outside was compared to the wretched life in the Death Sea. It was thousands of times better!

Recalling the miserable existence in the Death Sea, Lord of the Wave’s face revealed a trace of displeasure.

However, it didn’t matter. In this ocean beyond, he was unquestionably the king. All marine creatures would prostrate themselves at his feet!

After constructing the palace, his first task would be to conquer all the sea areas and islands within hundreds of miles, establishing his kingdom and proclaiming to the world the arrival of the Lord of the Waves!
