Further back, there were approximately five hundred Murloc Rangers standing in formation.

These troops constituted the last line of defense between the southern battlefield, the beach, and the core area of the Ocean Crown.

Once breached, they would have no choice but to fall back to the Lord’s Castle. At that point, the buildings outside the Lord’s Castle would be mercilessly ravaged by the sea heirs. Recovering from such a situation would not be an easy task.

However, Alice vowed not to let such a scenario unfold.

Soon enough, the sea heirs landed and lunged forward with their claws bared.

At the command, the Murloc Rangers, with third-tier 5-star rankings, shot out the spikes from their backs.

Swoosh!

Thousands of spikes soared high into the air and rained down like pear blossoms, piercing through the foremost wave of sea heirs.

Although these Murloc Rangers were only third-tier 5-star units, their dense volleys and high firing rate caused considerable casualties.

Additionally, their role was akin to ancient archers, not only inflicting long-range damage but also disrupting enemy formations.

After several waves of spikes were launched, at least several hundred sea heirs had been struck fatally, and over a thousand were left maimed with severed limbs. The once ferocious momentum of the sea heirs was momentarily halted, relieving some pressure.

The Ruins Guardians’ eyes gleamed, and they swung their fist-sized fists with all their might.

Boom!

Countless sea heirs were directly crushed by these punches, their tentacles and flesh scattering all over the ground.

Despite being third-tier 8-star units, they resisted numerous attacks such as poison stings and corrosive acids, thanks to their durable alchemical bodies and the additional armored plates. They managed to achieve a combat damage ratio of one to dozens.

At this point, the beach resembled the Normandy landings, with the sea heirs, as the attackers, relentlessly pushing forward with a near-suicidal determination.

On the other hand, the Ocean Crown side never ceased the bombardment of the Alchemy Death Cannon. Each shot cleared a swath of space, leaving behind massive craters on the beach.

However, the sea heirs ultimately gained the upper hand. Realizing they couldn’t break through the center, they quickly opened up new battlefronts on both sides. In desperation, Alice had to send the Ruins Guardians to support the flanks, further weakening the defense line.

Finally, after enduring heavy attacks and bearing numerous wounds, several Ruins Guardians collapsed, riddled with punctures and acid-corroded craters. Seizing this opportunity, a large number of sea heirs poured in through the breaches.

Under the command of the sea heir leader, they charged toward Alice from behind as if driven to madness.

For the sake of devouring and evolving.

This was an uncontrollable desire.

Fueled by an intense and overwhelming craving, it paid no attention to the Murloc Rangers but instead directed the sea heirs to attack Alice directly.

“Children… Devour… the colossal evolution-”

Receiving the urgent command from their “Mother”, the sea heirs became even more frenzied, surging through the breaches in a mad frenzy.

They had long known that there was a Siren on this island still in its growing stage.

The Sirens were formidable adversaries of the sea heirs in the ocean due to their ability to manipulate minds. They could not only control numerous enslaved souls but also exert their psychic powers to influence the sea heirs’ command over them.

They were indeed a race that stole their livelihood.

Therefore, whenever sea heirs encountered a Siren, they would spare no effort to kill it, no matter the cost.

The most vulnerable time for Sirens was during their infancy and growth stages. At this stage, their power was only a fraction of what it would be in their fully mature state.

Hence, this was the best time to kill them!

Furthermore, the sea heir leader could sense that if they could devour this Siren, they could obtain an evolution that wouldn’t pale in comparison to what they had gained from consuming a human.

However, it had not anticipated that this so-called still-growing Siren had advanced once again not long ago, entering the mature stage.

Alice watched the sea heirs charging towards her with an icy demeanor.

She recalled a long time ago when the Lord had asked her if she could influence sea heirs with her singing, and her answer had been no.

Back then, she was still a Siren at the Purple Rare Tier.

But now, she had advanced to the Red Legacy Tier, reaching the pinnacle of what a Siren could achieve.

What used to be impossible was now easily achievable.

If the Lord were to ask her the same question now, her answer would undoubtedly be yes.

So, let her prove it through her actions.

As the melody of her song began to play, in that instant, all the sea heirs seemed frozen in place, even those whose bodies had been shattered by the Ruins Guardians’ fists, showed no resistance whatsoever.

The previously tumultuous battlefield had now fallen into an eerie silence, with only the relentless hammering of the Ruins Guardians’ blows echoing through the air.

In that dark trench beneath the sea, the fleshly body of the sea heir leader suddenly trembled violently, its tentacles twitching as if shocked.

“…Impossible… Siren… mature…”

“Natural enemy… kill… destroy…”

At this moment, all around the New Moon Islands, whether they were still on the road through the jungle, besieging the fortress, or hiding beneath the sea, every sea heir turned in unison towards Alice.

In the hearts of each sea heir, there was only one thought—kill that Siren!

Seeing this eerie scene, the heroes and armies of the Crown of the Ocean were left stunned. Though they didn’t know what had happened, after a moment of bewilderment, they resumed their attacks.

They wouldn’t miss this opportunity!

Ji Chen, who was rushing back to the southern beach, also witnessed this spectacle.

His first thought was, has something happened to Alice?

He quickened his pace and raced to the scene.

Upon his return to the southern beach, he saw thousands of sea heirs surging from the direction of the sea.

At a glance, there were at least tens of thousands, and their numbers were rapidly increasing.

My goodness, what on earth had stimulated the sea heir leader to the point that it disregarded casualties and sent the sea heirs rushing in this direction?

Could it be madness?

Indeed, the sea heir leader had gone “mad”. In the unseen spiritual realm, it was locked in a mental struggle with the Siren, fighting for control over the sea heirs.

In its perception, Alice’s spiritual power was continuously surging, attempting to expel its influence from the sea heirs and take control.

This action infuriated the sea heir leader to an extreme degree.

These sea heirs had all evolved and were nurtured by it. Now, the Siren wanted to control them, essentially trying to take them away?

This blatant challenge ignited a furious rage within the sea heir leader. It unleashed its psychic might with relentless determination, refusing to yield to the Siren’s intrusion.

Alice’s spiritual power converged into successive spiritual tsunamis, relentlessly assaulting.

Meanwhile, the sea heir leader’s psychic power formed a mountainous dam, resisting the onslaught.

Two formidable beings of great power were locked in this mental battle. The ordinary sea heirs caught in between found it unbearable. Whether it was the tsunami or the dam, both existed within their minds!

Under the repeated onslaught, many sea heirs couldn’t withstand the excessive mental pressure and burst apart.

Seeing Alice with her eyes closed, sweating profusely, and witnessing the sea heirs all standing still in a daze, Ji Chen couldn’t help but feel concerned.

But there was nothing he could do. He could only stand by and watch.

About ten minutes later, Alice abruptly opened her eyes and urgently said to him, “Lord, 1 have detected the sea heir leader’s location! The location is in a trench, about five leagues north of the Stormy Sea area!”

Upon hearing this, Ji Chen’s expression brightened.

The precise location of the sea heir leader!?

This was truly fantastic news. He had been pondering how to find the sea heir leader in the vast and deep ocean, which was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Now that Alice had pinpointed its approximate location through her psychic abilities, it was a golden opportunity—an opportunity to strike directly and decisively, a once-in-a-lifetime chance!

Ji Chen acted swiftly, summoning a Sky Guardian and employing a pigeon-like messaging method to send instructions to Anina without any delay.

The Sky Guardian shot up into the sky and, within a matter of seconds, landed on the deck of a gnomish merchant ship waiting at the port.

Anina, who had been waiting there, joyfully shouted when she read the message on the parchment, “Gnomish merchant ship, set sail!”

The gnomes, who had been held hostage by the military, reluctantly began operating the ship.

Smoke billowed from the chimneys, and the few remaining propellers began to rapidly rotate as the ship headed towards the northern sea..
