Chapter 739: Battle Begins!

Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In the main world, which had been peaceful until now, it erupted like a pot boiling over when water was suddenly added, exploding in an instant.

Every inch of land reverberated with the sounds of battle, and the number of fallen creatures increased exponentially, with wails echoing across the wilderness.

The demon army under the Dreadlord had already spread across the southern seas, while the Greed Lord landed in the southern part of the central continent through fissures, advancing northwards, destroying gathering places and kingdoms along the way, enslaving humans and other races.

The Decay Lord appeared in the southernmost part of the western continent, the Mordor Strait, and within a few days, created an area of decayed land covering hundreds of square kilometers, gradually polluting the environment, and establishing demon-producing barracks and war facilities.

As for the Void Lord and the Undead Lord, there was no news yet, possibly because the information hadn’t reached the Crown of the Ocean.

However, to Ji Chen’s surprise, the Dreadlord Bahama did not immediately attack northward, aiming directly for the Stormy Sea and the New Moon Islands. Instead, he steadily seized the southern seas, then sent out reconnaissance teams to explore the central sea.

Even with a massive military force, Bahama remained cautious, deploying troops and formations, arousing Ji Chen’s curiosity about this opponent whom he had never met but had clashed with several times.

His interest was subtly piqued.

Facing the enemy’s reconnaissance teams, the Crown of the Ocean naturally could not sit idly by and dispatched numerous reconnaissance teams to intercept.

Striving to sever the enemy’s probing tentacles.

The Crown of the Ocean clashed with the demons for the first time under the seemingly calm sea surface.

A mixed team composed of Naga Iron Colossus, Dragon Horn Beast, and Sea Crystal Wyrm, combining close combat, spell attacks, and maneuverability, set off southwest after leaving the Stormy Sea.

Meeting a demon squad of nearly equal size hundreds of miles from the sea fissure, both sides quickly became enraged and without hesitation, plunged into a fierce battle.

On the demon side were the Water Fiends, Half-Beast Demons, and Tentacle Demons. Water Fiends were spellcasters capable of using demon and water spells to a certain extent, Half-Beast Demons were a type of demon with a mixture of a large number of sea creature genes, serving as meat shields, and Tentacle Demons were a type of demon resembling an octopus, with dozens of tentacles bundled together like hair, capable of restraining enemies.

In terms of configuration, both sides were evenly matched, relying on sheer strength.

The Water Fiends, Tier 5, 6 stars.

The Half-Beast Demons, Tier 5, 7 stars.

The Tentacle Demons, Tier 5, 5 stars.

The Naga Iron Colossus, Tier 6, 4 stars.

The Dragon Horn Beast, Tier 6, 5 stars.

The Sea Crystal Wyrm, Tier 6, 3 stars.

In terms of surface strength alone, the Crown of the Ocean team presented an overwhelming advantage in tiers.

Furthermore, with the intelligence provided by Lainekel, the strengths and weaknesses of these aquatic demons were revealed. The Crown of the Ocean team played to their strengths, avoiding weaknesses, utilizing their natural high maneuverability and ranged attack capabilities to pick off the Water Fiends and Tentacle Demons from a distance, preventing them from exerting their crowd control abilities.

Then, the Naga Iron Colossus pressed forward for close combat, quickly dispatching the Half-Beast Demons, delivering the final blow to the enemy, and completing a perfect skirmish.

Only the Naga Iron Colossus sustained slight injuries, while the other two units remained unscathed.

This scene repeated itself in various parts of the ocean.

However, Balzarna seemed to disregard these losses, continually sending out large numbers of demon squads to infiltrate towards the Stormy Sea and the New Moon Islands, gradually mapping out the nearby sea terrain.

This was Balzarna’s strategy; the Crown of the Ocean’s army numbered only in the tens of thousands, while the demon army numbered in the hundreds of thousands, presenting an overwhelming numerical advantage. By sacrificing a small number of demons to obtain crucial intelligence, they not only avoided losses but even profited.

Not only in the sea but there were also demon squads continuously infiltrating the skies.

Benefiting from the Crown of the Ocean’s many amphibious units, capable of operating freely between the sky and the ocean, intense battles unfolded in the sky as well.

While the Crown of the Ocean still remained relatively calm, the hint of a bloody scent carried by the sea breeze suggested that true war was not far off.

Upon receiving news of demons appearing in the southern seas, many merchants and outsiders quickly left the Crown of the Ocean, returning to the relatively safer other islands and the Northern Continent. Now, apart from the residents of the New Moon Islands, there were only the players of the King Kong Island guild and the dragons of Dragon Island.

Lord’s castle, command headquarters.

“In the past few days, we have clashed multiple times with the demon reconnaissance teams and achieved considerable results, killing a demon squad of about a thousand, while we only lost three squads of about ten,” Alice reported.

Hearing this battle report, Ji Chen nodded involuntarily.

Thirty versus one thousand, roughly a war loss ratio of 1:30, which was still within his tolerance range.

After all, the demon reconnaissance teams dispatched were not particularly high-tier demons, mostly low-tier demons, and the higher-tier demons had not been deployed.

Under the suppression of tiers, if there were still high casualties, it would be somewhat unfair considering the resources invested in reinforcing them.

Ji Chen tapped his fingers on the tabletop. “Moving forward, the reconnaissance teams will no longer be made up exclusively of Crown of the Ocean units. Instead, they will be a collaboration between the King Kong Island guild and the Luminescent Sea clan for maritime exploration, while the Crown of the Ocean will continue to oversee operations in the sky.”
