The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful Chapter 715 – Domain City

Chapter 715: Domain City

Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The council chamber on King Kong Island was abuzz with discussion among the guild’s top brass regarding recent developments.

“Boss, the prices on the mainland are skyrocketing, and our procurement plan can only achieve a maximum of 50% completion.”

Seated nonchalantly at the head of the table, I_Love_Black_Stockings, with her legs crossed, furrowed her brow. “Only half? Have you inquired about other islands and archipelagos aside from the mainland and the Western Continent?”

“We’ve checked everywhere, but it’s no use. The news of demon invasions has had a significant impact. Everyone is on edge. Not only are the indigenous human nations and the Elven Empire affected, even places like the Silver Islands have tightened their resource exports. Most critical resources are now under strict control.”

The guild’s executives sighed collectively. “If we hadn’t procured a batch of resources earlier, we might not even achieve half of our plans now.”

The mood among the guild’s top brass was grim. King Kong Island, isolated in the ocean, relied heavily on imports for many resources. With other regions now restricting exports, their situation seemed dire.

Without resources, recruitment of military units would be impossible, and the construction of defensive structures would stall. Without troops and defenses, how would they withstand the impending invasion by the demon army?

All their resources and efforts were invested in King Kong Island. They couldn’t just abandon it and flee.

Suddenly, one executive suggested, “Why don’t we seek help from the Islander?”

At this suggestion, the others brightened up. “That’s a good idea. After all, our boss has a good relationship with the Islander. We should be able to secure some resources through this.”

I_Love_Black_Stockings shook her head. “The Islander’s territory is closer to the south than ours. He is bound to be among the first to be attacked by the demons. Even if our relationship is good, they won’t be able to spare any resources for us at such a critical moment.”

Someone chuckled and whistled, “If only you, Boss, could use your black stockings to seduce the Islander. Who knows, it might actually work.”

I_Love_Black_Stockings’ face darkened, and she retorted, “If it were that easy, I would have done it already. Do I really need you to tell me?

Besides, with the Islander’s status and power, how could he possibly lack women? Forget about my black stockings, I’m sure even elves are willing to spend a night with him!”

The others nodded in agreement, having heard of the events in the Elven Empire. They were aware of the true identity of Ji Chen, also known as the Islander who possessed epic-tier power.

Epic-tier was the pinnacle of power in this world, a rarity. Yet, they couldn’t fathom how the Islander had reached an epic tier so quickly.

Among the guild’s executives, the strongest was I_Love_Black_Stockings, who only had a legacy-tier profession and had barely reached level 45-

They had all arrived in this world on the same day, starting with nothing but a plot of land and a few dilapidated houses. Yet, why had Ji Chen managed to establish a territory comparable to a kingdom’s influence and reach the pinnacle of epic tier in less than a year?”

Comparison is the thief of joy.

I_Love_Black_Stockings looked at the troubled faces of the crowd and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, slamming the table abruptly.

Thud—

“I’ve got an idea!”

The other guild executives, deep in thought, were startled, their hearts racing, and their eyes filled with resentment.

Why did you have to be so loud?

I_Love_Black_Stockings coughed awkwardly, pretending as if nothing had happened, and said, “Why are we working so hard to gather resources?”

The others were puzzled by the question but still answered honestly, “To resist the demon invasion, of course.”

“So here’s the problem: Where will the demons initially target in the Western Mid-Ocean?”

“According to the current situation, it’s highly probable they’ll attack the Islander’s Ocean Crown first.”

“Exactly!” I_Love_Black_Stockings exclaimed excitedly, slamming the table again. “Look at it from a different angle. Since the demons will likely attack the Ocean Crown first, why don’t we send resources over or even deploy troops to support the Ocean Crown, helping them fend off the demon invasion? That way, King Kong Island won’t be threatened!”

“In doing so, we’ll save ourselves a lot of trouble, and we can even curry favor. Isn’t this killing two birds with one stone!?”

The other guild executives were stunned, feeling a wave of shock.

Wow, can you actually play it like this?!

Because they lacked the means to secure victory and were short on resources, they opted to dispatch troops and resources to the frontline. This strategy aimed to ensure the safety of those in the rear.

Wait a minute, thinking about it, this approach seemed somewhat reasonable.

These guild executives had begun to ponder its feasibility.

I_Love_Black_Stockings did as she pleased, abruptly slamming the table again. However, this time it seemed she hit it too hard, and she winced in pain, muttering, “That’s settled! I’ll inform the Big Boss Islander right away!”

Meanwhile, Ji Chen, accompanied by Wilus, was inspecting the progress of various projects in the territory when he suddenly received a private message. He stopped in his tracks and casually opened it.

A few minutes later, he closed the chat interface with a strange expression on his face.

Wilus was puzzled. “Sir, what’s wrong?”

“I think someone wants to give us a batch of resources and troops for free.”

Wilus: ???

Although he didn’t understand what had happened, having more resources and troops was undoubtedly a good thing.

Wilus didn’t dwell on it. He organized his thoughts and deliberated, “If the current construction speed continues, all buildings except for the city walls can be completed within two months. However, the construction of the island-wide city walls is too massive. Even with tens of thousands of lizardmen laborers, it will still take at least four months to complete.”
