The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

[Ben Bo Er Ba]

[Dragon blood detected, should it be used to advance this hero?]

"yes."

[The fish-man hero: Benbo Erba is in the process of advancement]

Ji Chen looked at Ben Bo Er Ba who was gradually wrapped in a cocoon of blue light and breathed a sigh of relief slowly.

Looking at the blue dragon's blood obtained from the elves of Rivendell Village in his hand, there was less than half left in the bottle.

Half of it will be used for the advancement of Benbo Erba, and the other half will be used for the enhancement of the dragon-blooded fishmen. This is the allocation direction that he has already thought about.

Not long after returning from Reinhardt, Ji Chen resurrected all the dead fifth-level soldiers from the resurrection altar.

Looking at the army that had regained its numbers, he couldn't help but smile.

The Resurrection Altar is such a terrifying building. It only requires thousands of rare resources to resurrect a total of 10,000 units of troops. Looking at it from another perspective, every time it is activated, millions of units of rare resources can be earned in vain.

Won Ma.

Immediately afterwards, he recruited all the remaining military recruitment balances in the past month.

In the end, a total of 4,024 units were recruited, bringing the total combat strength to 12,868 units, approximately the size of thirteen thousand-man teams!

Such an expansion consumes a huge amount of resources, consuming a total of 5.084 million units of rare resources. Two-fifths or more of the 12 million units of rare resources obtained from the elves of Rivendale Village have been lost.

However, when tens of thousands of troops are arrayed in front, the majestic appearance is so dark that one cannot see the side at a glance, the sense of pride and accomplishment it brings is difficult to describe in words.

Only when the army reached this size did he feel like a true lord.

Many people in the territory also gathered aside, watching this scene with shocked expressions, shouting Ji Chen's name, cheering for the Ocean Champion to become stronger and stronger.

Especially some of the residents who came to Ocean Crown very early. They are witnesses to the growth of this territory. From a dozen murlocs to tens of thousands today, this happened in just a few months.

Each surging crisis did not destroy this territory, but made it stronger.

This is humiliating to everyone.

Unknowingly, public sentiment rose again by a few points, finally reaching 95 points.

"Ding~ It is detected that the territory's people's support reaches 95 points, the work efficiency of the territory's people increases by 30%, the enthusiasm for learning increases by 50%, and the chance of a hero being born increases by 20%."

Ji Chen was slightly stunned, feeling a little surprised.

This high public support really has many benefits. Now the work efficiency of the residents of Ocean Crown is equivalent to two or three times that of 50 points of public support. The speed of planting and production is very high.

In particular, the chance of a hero being born is increased, which is a good thing that cannot be bought with money. After the construction of the Hero Fountain is completed, the two gains will add up to a very impressive chance.

Ji Chen asked the other troops to disperse, leaving only the dragon-blood murlocs.

Use the remaining half bottle of Blue Dragon's Blood on their advancement.

[After using dragon blood, the dragon blood murloc (level 5, 3 stars) will be upgraded to the blue dragon murloc (level 5, 9 stars)]

The momentum of the evolution of more than two thousand dragon-blooded murlocs was very huge. The surging energy and dragon power spurted out, creating waves of waves around them.

The bulging meatballs on their heads were now springing up like bamboo shoots, and a pair of ice-blue dragon horns about thirty centimeters long suddenly stretched out, lingering with wisps of ice, freezing the surrounding seawater into pieces. Thin ice.

This is the natural ice power in the blue dragon's bloodline, which has been inherited into the blue dragon murloc. The murloc who originally could only cause physical damage now also has certain spell attack capabilities.

After evolution, the body of the Dragon Blood Legion is also different from the previous short stature. It has become quite tall and strong, with the appearance of a muscular man. Apart from some fins and fish scales, there are no longer many murloc physical signs. , somewhat similar to a half-dragon.

It can be seen from the change of names that today's Dragon Blood Legion has passed the most critical node on the road to evolving into dragons. In the past, they were just murlocs with dragon blood in their bodies, but now they are serious dragons. Descendants.

Seeing the powerful momentum of more than two thousand blue dragon fish people, Ji Chen couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

If he could go back to the time when the sea beasts attacked, he was confident that with the current Dragon Blood Legion, he would kill seven in and seven out.

It would take some time for Benboerba to advance, so Ji Chen asked Gerardo to take care of him while he went to the sea east of the Crescent Islands.

"Kraken."

I just called out in my heart, but within half a minute and a second, a big bump appeared on the sea surface, a huge octopus head immediately emerged, and a giant octopus as big as a mountain stood up.

"What do you want from me?"

Kraken stared with a pair of big eyes, and his two tentacles were wrapped around a whale whose body had been chewed into half.

Ji Chen asked, ignoring the whale that was still wailing sadly.

"How did you do what I asked you to do?"

Kraken suddenly stopped chewing whale meat and froze visibly, hesitatingly saying: "Ah, of course."

Ji Chen looked at Kraken, who was full of guilt, and his face suddenly turned cold.

The next second, Kraken felt a sharp pain deep in his soul, as if thousands of man-eating sharks were biting his soul, and as if it was being burned crazily by the fire of hell.

grumble--

The huge body rolled on the sea, setting off rough waves, and the screams spread throughout the entire sea area.

"I will do it now, I will do it now, ah ah ah!! Master, please forgive me, I know I was wrong!!!"

Ji Chen ignored its begging for mercy and watched it moan in pain with an indifferent expression. It didn't stop until ten minutes later.

At this time, Kraken's entire octopus was like a puddle of mud, and its body sank into the sea twitchingly, as if it was dead.

It took a few minutes for him to calm down and surface again.

But a pair of eyes were already full of fear and awe, and even the tentacles did not dare to be unrestrained, and hung in the water in an orderly manner.

Ji Chen looked indifferent.

"My patience is very limited and I don't want a next time."

"There will never be a next time. If you ask me to go east, I will go east. If you ask me to go west, I will go west!"

Kraken said quickly, the barbaric spirit completely disappeared.

Ji Chen's face softened slightly when he saw this. The octopus had obviously drifted away, and it dared to ignore his orders. It had to be beaten hard to let it know what a servant was and what a master was.

"Go ahead and thoroughly search all the deep sea and seabed areas within the Stormy Sea. Use your own momentum to drive out all the hidden sea beasts. Also, search for seabed resource points, sunken ships and any suspicious places."

"yes!"

Kraken swung his body and tentacles, and quickly got into the water like a mouse.

As the opening time of Ocean Crown approaches, Ji Chen also decided to launch a special cleanup operation.

Only a relatively safe and stable environment can provide conditions for the development of commerce. In stormy waters, there is no need to worry about shipwrecks caused by extreme sea conditions.

But those sea beasts that have been entrenched in the depths of the ocean for many years and occasionally attack on the surface have become another threat.

The deep sea environment is so complex, with large and small criss-crossing trenches, seafloor rock areas, basins, and seafloor forests. The difficulty of cleaning it is also visible to the naked eye.

But Ji Chen must not sit idly by.

The arrival of Kraken has brought an opportunity to solve this problem. Since Kraken can trigger a tide of sea beasts, it can naturally drive away and deter the sea beasts hiding in the storm sea, making them leave here obediently or be killed.

Ji Chen hopes that the stormy sea area will become a safe zone on the prosperous route, and the Crescent Islands will become a haven for many merchant ships to berth, which will be of great benefit to the development of Ocean Crown.

To this end, he also specially ordered Velus to build some guest rooms and infrastructure for foreign merchants to live near the port to prepare for the subsequent opening and trade.

Ocean Crown has many industries, but it will take some time for them to fully develop, and export revenue has fallen into a slow growth situation.

The mere few hundred thousand rare resources that he earned every week could no longer satisfy Ji Chen's appetite. It was not even enough to meet a week's military recruitment consumption, so opening up was inevitable.

Returning to the Lord's Castle, he called Velus again.

Ask Ocean Crown if there are other industries that can be developed or ways to increase income.

Ji Chen could have a comprehensive and general understanding of Ocean Crown through the system panel, but when it came to all the details, he really didn't understand it as clearly as Wilus, the internal affairs officer.

After hearing this question, Velus pondered for a moment and said.

"Sir, do you still remember the businessman named Ari Camp who came from the Ujisai Kingdom in the Southern Continent?"

Ji Chen nodded. Of course he remembered that he wore a golden mask and looked more like a nobleman than a businessman.

"We may open a route to the Southern Continent through this local businessman. I believe that in order to make huge profits, those merchants from the Northern Continent will travel all the way to the Southern Continent."

"According to the current known situation, after the opening of the storm sea area, the Crescent Islands will not only be an important supply point for merchant ships between the Principality of Maplewood, the Principality of Reinhardt, and the Western Continent. If we successfully open a reliable shipping route, then the Crescent Islands will It will also become a stopover between the Maple Grove Principality and the Southern Continent, further increasing our income."

Ji Chen nodded repeatedly. This makes sense. Compared with traveling to Reinhardt, it takes much more time for Maplewood Principality to travel to the Southern Continent. It is like a one-way trip on a sailboat that takes at least half a month. time.

More importantly, there is currently no reliable route from the Maplewood Principality to the Southern Continent from the Western Mediterranean.

It is not possible to travel anywhere in the Mediterranean. Weird thunderstorm sea areas, areas where powerful sea beasts live, overflowing sea beast territories, sea areas where pirates are active, etc. These form impassable restricted areas in the Mediterranean Sea. If you just run around casually, , it will turn into a pile of excrement of sea beasts or food for pirates in a few minutes.

Wilus saw Ji Chen nodded in agreement and continued.

"If we can let the Southern Continent businessman named Ari Kemp lead the way, and send a reliable and experienced explorer to follow him, and draw a safe enough route, the route may be successfully opened."

The conditions behind it are not difficult. The Yaoguang Chamber of Commerce in the Xingyao Islands has many experienced sailors and captains, and they can get on the road with just a few strong men.

But Ari Kemp has already gone to Maplewood Principality, and he doesn’t know where he is now. He may have to waste some energy to find it.

Ji Chen touched his chin and continued to think about it.

Perhaps in the future, after he takes the elves of Glen Village to the Principality of Maplewood, he can ask the elves or Gilder, a well-informed businessman, to help find them.

"I will arrange this."

There was a sudden noise outside.

Ji Chen frowned and said, "Go and see what's going on."

Velus nodded and left, returning about ten minutes later.

He said in a surprised tone: "Lord, a two-masted merchant ship has entered the storm waters and is approaching the Crescent Islands."

Ji Chen's face showed surprise. A businessman came to the Crescent Islands so quickly? He has not announced the address and direction of Ocean Crown yet.

But this is a good thing, Ji Chen nodded and said solemnly.

"Let them dock and I'll go see them myself."

"yes!"

Ryan put his hands on the fenders of the ship and looked at the large port in front of him and the town with houses behind it. His eyes could not help but be filled with shock.

When did there become such a prosperous island in the Stormy Sea! ?

The population of a town of this size is at least 20,000, which is considered a large settlement among ocean islands!

What surprised him even more was that this settlement actually had more than a dozen steel battleships. He saw more than a dozen of them, and there were obviously more moored in the towering water village further away.

So many steel battleships are enough to prove how extraordinary this place is.

While Ryan was curiously looking at everything nearby, he saw a young man walking through the crowd surrounded by soldiers.

He could tell at a glance the extraordinary status of this young man, and when he saw that the boarding board had been lowered, he quickly disembarked.

"Hello, Your Excellency, my name is Ryan, and I am a businessman from the Maplewood Principality. Thank you for allowing us to dock!"

Ji Chen looked at the slender middle-aged man in front of him and said with a smile: "Welcome to the Crescent Islands. I am the lord here, Ji Chen."

"Are you the lord here!?" Ryan said in surprise, "So you are a Glory Lord?"

"That's right." Ji Chen smiled, "How did you know that the Crescent Islands are in the stormy sea area?"

Ryan sighed heavily and said with a wry smile: "It's a coincidence. I was forced to come in. Sir Ji Chen, you don't know what happened before."

"I originally took three merchant ships to transport a batch of silk from the Principality of Maplewood to Reinhardt. The journey was originally very smooth, but when we passed the southern end of the Sea of ​​Death, we were suddenly attacked by a sea tribe coming from the direction of the Sea of ​​Death. The army attacked and almost lost his life!"

Ji Chen couldn't help but ask: "The Sea Clan army appeared in the direction of the Sea of ​​Death?"

Ryan nodded, a trace of fear flashing across his face, "It was a very organized and orderly sea army, thousands of them, followed by a huge waterspout, and it attacked us without any explanation!"

Thinking of the two merchant ships that were used as bait, Ryan felt distressed.

Ji Chen frowned deeply at this time.

The southern section of the Dead Sea is less than a hundred kilometers away from the Storm Sea, which is not a long distance for the sea people. It can be reached in half a day at full speed, and it is very likely to pose a threat to the Crown of the Ocean.

The sudden appearance of a Sea Clan army forced him to be vigilant.

After thinking about it.

Ji Chen said: "Sir Ryan, do you want to continue on your way?"

Ryan shook his head, "I just threw away a lot of supplies on the ship in order to escape faster. The supplies are a bit tight. I would be very grateful if Sir Ji Chen could allow me to resupply here."

Ji Chen smiled slightly, "Of course, Ocean Crown will be opened as a supply point for merchants."

"That would be great!"

After a few words with Ryan, he asked Velus to arrange all matters regarding Ryan.

Then he immediately called a lobster guard knight hero and gave instructions.

"Take a team of 100 people to the southern end of the Sea of ​​Death to check the situation. If you encounter enemies, don't fight them and return in time."

The lobster guard knight hero nodded, lifted the reins of the lobster mount from his crotch and headed towards the sea.

A bit stuck
