They hadn’t even landed yet, and so many comrades had already been killed and injured.

But this was exactly what Ji Chen wanted, to keep the Sea Heirs at bay beyond the land, denying them any chance to harm the Crown of the Ocean.

Out of the initial five thousand Sea Heirs approaching from this direction, only slightly over a thousand were left after just slightly more than ten minutes had passed. They were now scattered thinly across the surface of the sea. At this pace, it wouldn’t be long before they were completely neutralized.

Seeing this scene, Ji Chen didn’t display any joy.

He knew that if the Sea Heirs’ leaders dared to attack, they must have more than just this number of troops.

Sure enough, when the number of Sea Heirs was reduced to just over a thousand.

At a distance of less than two kilometers from the beach, a sudden emergence occurred. Four or five thousand Sea Heirs rose from the sea, their chaotic formation giving no hint of any familial bond as they charged forward.

Coincidentally, this moment aligned with a brief pause in the Alchemy Death Cannon’s firing, and the Ocean Guardians remained engaged with other Sea Heirs, unable to arrive in time.

Given their forward speed, they could easily land successfully under the bombardment of the cannon.

At this moment, as if they had seen Ji Chen directing on the beach, these newly appeared Sea Heirs abandoned the shorter landing route without hesitation and charged straight towards Ji Chen.

They looked as if they wanted to swallow him whole.

This made Ji Chen momentarily stunned.

Goodness, do they take me as Tang Seng (TN: The character monk in the journey to the West)?

They’re so excited to see me.

He pursed his lips and waved his hand.

An army that had been hidden earlier suddenly surfaced and stood in front of the Sea Heirs.

These were the Lobster Riders.

Since the recruitment of the Lobster Riders, they hadn’t been utilized much. After all, only the Sea Heirs would be daring enough to challenge the Crown of the Ocean.

Therefore, the Lobster Riders, as a marine unit, found themselves without a purpose and appeared inconspicuous within the territory, contributing very little.

However, at this moment, they were all extremely excited.

They bore fearless expressions, and their eyes gleamed with heroic determination.

“All knights! Serve the Lord! Charge!!”

Under the lead of a heroic blue Lobster Rider, the army of Lobster Riders charged directly into the Sea Heirs, who outnumbered them several times.

Forming a cone-shaped formation, they rushed into the midst of the Sea Heirs like a sharp blade.

Boom!

The massive lobsters beneath them resembled high-speed war machines, quickly launching numerous Sea Heirs into the air. Their horned heads effortlessly pierced through the bodies of many Sea Heirs in an instant.

The barbs at their joints acted like blades, cutting off countless tentacles.

With a single thrust and pull of the spear in the knights’ hands, blood gushed out, staining their armor.

With fewer than a thousand Lobster Riders, they managed to break through the Sea Heir group, killing over a thousand Sea Heirs while losing fewer than thirty of their own.

After piercing through the enemy formation, the Lobster Riders slowed down and turned around, then raised their bone spears, launching another charge.

Charge, break, divide, consume, and kill.

The art of slaughter in the knights’ charge was vividly displayed on the Lobster Riders.

In this repeating cycle, after only a few charges, the supporting Sea Heir army was almost wiped out, leaving just a handful of survivors and far from maintaining any organized formation.

Remains and broken limbs of Sea Heirs floated all over the sea, and the ink-green blood seemed to replace the color of the seawater.

On the beach, Ji Chen, who was watching this scene, nodded in satisfaction.

Indeed, it was the type of troops he favored. The combat power of these less than a thousand Lobster Riders was equivalent to that of Tier 5 units.

On the south beach, the Sea Heirs engaged in two battles, and most of them have been slain. There are only a few hundred of them left, and they no longer pose a significant threat here.

Ji Chen sneered and made a provocative gesture toward the remaining Sea Heirs.

He knew that the Sea Heir leader must be watching him.

Use all tactics you have; otherwise, you might not get another chance.

As if this provocation had angered the Sea Heir leader, thousands more Sea Heirs emerged from the sea.

Ji Chen’s expression hardened, and he fearlessly sent the already bloodthirsty Lobster Riders into action.

For the Knights, one charge is enough to crush them; if not once, then twice, three times, until they are crushed!

Although he didn’t know the exact number of Sea Heirs this time, a rough estimate indicated that the Sea Heirs now numbered over forty thousand.

Such a large Sea Heir army would be enough to overrun most players’ territories, but in front of the Crown of the Ocean, they could only be stopped.

This was the Crown of the Ocean after several months of rapid development.

After yet another wave of Sea Heirs, numbering in the thousands, were crushed like cannon fodder, Ji Chen couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Could it be that the Sea Heir leader only knows this one tactic?

Doesn’t that seem quite devoid of strategy?

At this moment, Alice, who had been by his side without taking action, suddenly exclaimed, “My lord, look, there’s a signal fire rising in the northeastern sub-island!”

Ji Chen turned to look, and a thick black smoke rose into the sky, reaching the heavens.

The northeastern sub-island was guarded by Benbo.

He had given instructions to the heroes that they could light signal fires in their stationed areas in case of emergencies, seeking reinforcements.

Could it be that there’s a problem at Benbo’s location?

Or even… a danger of being breached?

The fortress on the northeastern sub-island played a crucial role in this battle against the Sea Heirs, and its significance was nearly on par with the defenses on the southern beach.

If the fortress were breached, the Sea Heirs would have a place to land in large numbers. Tens of thousands of Sea Heirs would pour into the Water Fort and the Harbor, damaging these two crucial facilities.

Not only that, but the stone road previously used for ease of movement and transportation will become the Sea Heirs’ quick route to invade the core area of the Crown of the Ocean!

At that time, they would be caught in a severe disadvantage, trapped from both sides.

If that were the case, Ji Chen would have to start thinking about escaping.

Without hesitation, he gave the order.

“Alice, you take command of the troops here. Make sure to hold this beach! But if you can’t guard it, take the remaining forces back to the stone square and you can even fall back to the Lord’s Castle. Try your best to hold them back as much as possible until I return!”

Alice clearly understood the urgency of the situation and nodded. “My lord, please go ahead. Even if it costs my life, 1 will defend this place until you return!”

Ji Chen didn’t say anything more. He patted her head and he ran towards the northeastern sub-island without further delay.

Emerging from the dense forest and arriving at the harbor, he could finally see the situation on the northeastern sub-island.

Countless Sea Heirs were relentlessly attacking the fortress, surrounding it inside and out. It felt like a city besieged by zombies.

And Daro, the Half-Orc hero guarding the harbor, had long gone to support the Half-Orc and some Lizardmen warriors.

However, the Sea Heirs had already occupied the tidal flats that connected the main island to the fortress, blocking their way.

Benbo, along with the Dragon Blood Murlocs and Elemental Sea Pixies, both Tier 4 units, possessed formidable combat power. However, the Sea Heirs besieging them were not inferior in Tier; there were easily two or three thousand Tier 4 Sea Heirs, and the Tier 3 cannon fodder numbered in the thousands.

One side was trapped within the city, unable to receive reinforcements, with casualties mounting.

On the other side, the Sea Heirs had abundant troops, and for every one that died, another filled the gap. Additionally, an unknown number of Sea Heirs lurked beneath the sea.

In this give and take, looking at the current situation, it wouldn’t be long before the fortress fell.

Well, well!

Ji Chen did not expect the Sea Heirs to use such a cunning strategy, pretending to commit a large portion of their forces to the fierce attack on the southern beach, which was closer to the core of the Crown of the Ocean. While, in reality, they were going all-out in their assault on the northeastern sub-island.

If not for the signal fire transmitting the message, they might have succeeded.

Seeing the situation becoming increasingly dire, he didn’t waste any more time and made a quick decision.

In the calm bay, a massive wave suddenly rose.

Boom!

The wave swept away a large number of Sea Heirs who were surrounding the city walls, instantly creating a significant gap.

Benbo, who had been fighting desperately on the wall, couldn’t help but feel overjoyed and raised his trident high.

“The lord himself has come to support us! Charge!!!”

The arrival of the lord was undoubtedly an exhilarating boost, and their morale soared as they intended to fend off every Sea Heir trying to scale the walls.

The tide of battle had turned!
