This was also one of the few benefits brought by the Sea Beast Tide.

Dozens of reconnaissance teams gradually returned, bringing back the latest news about the Sea Beast Tide.

The second wave of the Sea Beast Tide had completely left the Stormy Sea and had headed towards a more northern area. Inside the Stormy Sea, only scattered groups of sea beasts remained, numbering around ten thousand.

In addition, some of the reconnaissance teams dispatched to the south to scout the next waves of the Sea Beast Tide had brought back some good news.

The third and fourth waves of the Sea Beast Tide, which were hundreds of kilometers away, did not directly attack the New Moon Islands and the Stormy Sea like the first and second waves.

From their projected paths, it appeared that the third wave would pass through the Starshine Islands, several sea regions west of the Stormy Sea, while the fourth wave would pass by several hundred kilometers away from the Stormy Sea, with no human settlements along the way.

These two waves of the Sea Beast Tide, just like the first and second waves, continued northward towards the coastline of the Northern Continent.

The Starshine Islands…

Ji Chen thought for a moment. He seemed to have heard in the chat channel that, like the Silver Islands and King Kong Island, there were many players born there, so this time they might have to face the onslaught of the Sea Beast Tide.

And according to the reconnaissance team’s description, the third wave of the Sea Beast Tide was even larger, numbering in the millions, stretching as far as the eye could see, like an unremovable blotch on the azure sea surface, wiping out all life along the way.

He was powerless to change this, so he could only announce this news on the forum and silently pray for the players on the Starshine Islands.

The information posted under the identity of “Islander” quickly caught the attention of many people, with varying reactions. Among them, the players from the Starshine Islands were particularly concerned.

For them, this was like a bolt from the blue.

Amidst a wave of pessimistic comments, other players from the Western Mid-Ocean region also expressed their worries. No one knew when the Sea Beast Tide would reach their doorstep.

For players who had only been developing for a few months, the crisis of a Sea Beast Tide with millions of sea beasts was too overwhelming and daunting.

If they could have a little more time to develop, perhaps they would be better prepared to face this crisis.

As players lamented their fate, Ji Chen stood in front of the table, gazing at the map of the Western Mid-Ocean, lost in thought.

Based on the positions, the Stormy Sea was located in the central-northern part of the Western Mid-Ocean, with King Kong Island situated further north, roughly to the northwest of the Stormy Sea. The Silver Islands, which Ji Chen had visited before, were located to the west-northwest, while the Starshine Islands were in the far northwestern direction.

He marked these three locations on the map and then drew the forward paths of these Sea Beast Tide waves.

The first and second waves passed through the Stormy Sea, the third wave would pass through the Starshine Islands, and the fourth wave wouldn’t pass through any populated areas.

On the map, four arrows indicated their directions, all heading north in the northern part of the Western Mid-Ocean.

But what was strange here was that, usually, the Sea Beast Tide was forced to migrate due to the birth of powerful sea beasts and the threat to their lives.

Regardless of how they migrated, their purpose was always survival.

As long as they moved to relatively suitable areas, they would separate from the main group and settle down on their own.

However, now, except for a very small number that lagged behind, these four waves of Sea Beast Tide showed no signs of stopping. They seemed to be continuously advancing as if they were wound up and propelled forward, all heading north, with their ultimate destination being the northern part of the Western Mid-Ocean!

This left Ji Chen completely puzzled.

Could there be something in the northern part of the Western Mid-Ocean that was attracting them?

Although the Crown of the Ocean was no longer threatened by the Sea Beast Tide in the short term, he couldn’t help but worry about this situation.

Therefore, the rampage of the Sea Beast Tide this time undoubtedly disrupted the maritime routes between the Crown of the Ocean and the Northern Continent. This had a significant impact on their economic connections, meaning that if the Crown of the Ocean wanted to transport goods to the Maple Principality, they would face attacks from sea beasts. Even with a military escort, the risk of cargo damage was high.

Being unable to send goods to the Northern Continent meant that they would have a hard time earning income through trade in the short term, which was a significant loss.

Thinking about the millions of rare resources needed for recruiting troops every week, he felt a sense of despair. Where could he obtain such a large amount of resources?

If only they could profit from hunting sea beasts…

Wait a minute.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Ji Chen’s eyes.

This might have some potential…

To start, the Crown of the Ocean was currently out of harm’s way when it came to major Sea Beast Tide attacks. Occasional sea beast intrusions could be effectively repelled with the help of coastal defenses and the guardian legion.

At the very least, they had the Coral Palace’s army as a backup.

With this setup, several main legions could completely free up their hands to do other things.

For example, they could collect protection fees—oh, he meant, they could go and help other areas threatened by the Sea Beast Tide, like the Starshine Islands, which were about to face the onslaught of the third wave of the Sea Beast Tide.

Of course, this assistance wouldn’t come for free. It could be done in the form of a fee, in other words, charging money for providing security services.

For such a terrifying Sea Beast Tide, would it be excessive to charge a hundred thousand units of rare resources per day for protection?

As far as he knew, the Starshine Islands were also a highly developed commercial area, and the indigenous people there were extremely wealthy. These wealthy but inadequately protected locals would be the target customers for this mission..
