Chapter 457: Condensing Water into Soldiers, Occupy or Return (2)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The horrifying scene left everyone present in shock.

Even the players who were spectating on the sidelines were dumbfounded, completely unaware of why the councilor’s private army was attacking their own comrades.

Could it be because their paychecks hadn’t been delivered?

Hademan and the other councilors were also bewildered, and one of the councilors suddenly shouted angrily, “What are you idiots doing!? Stop it!”

This thousand-strong unit belonged to him as his private army.

But no matter how he angrily berated them, this private army continued to viciously attack their fellow comrades, their strikes exceptionally brutal.

However, they quickly noticed something unusual about them. These private soldiers who had turned against their own comrades had lifeless eyes and moved in an unusually stiff manner as if they were soulless husks who only knew how to swing their weapons.

With a simple connection of thoughts, they quickly linked it to the song that had been lingering around them.

Could it be that the singing of the masked woman had transformed them into this state?

Seeing that this “rebellious” private army was on the verge of going berserk, other councilors also became uneasy and ordered their private armies to eliminate them.

Under overwhelming numerical superiority, this thousand-strong private army was soon slaughtered to the last man.

But what filled them with despair was that another thousand-strong unit suddenly turned on them, catching them off guard.

At this point, they understood that as long as the singing didn’t stop, there would be a continuous stream of private soldiers enchanted by the song, losing their sanity and attacking their own comrades.

“Contain this thousand-strong unit first, the rest attack.

This song can only affect a portion of us, no need to worry.

Everyone, charge together, and once we kill that woman, everything will be fine.”

As the President of the Council, Hademan had a keen eye and quickly realized the influence of Alice’s singing. He shouted with authority.

At his command, ten thousand-strong private armies broke formation and charged directly at Alice.

Their eyes filled with hatred and a hint of fear.

The power of this woman’s singing was so terrifying that, in their minds, this mind-controlling ability was no different from that of demons.

Seeing this, Ji Chen nodded slightly; they reacted swiftly.

But it didn’t matter; he would take action.

He raised his hands, and clusters of seawater leaped into the harbor, transforming into a hundred and fifty humanoid sailors.

It was his skill, “Condense Water into Soldiers.”

With the increase in his level, he could now condense and control a significantly larger number of water soldiers.

Threads of aqueous connections, akin to umbilical cords, linked the water soldiers to the ocean, continually transferring energy.

The private army of the councilors looked at these water soldiers and swung their weapons without hesitation, intending to kill them. However, when the sword edges pierced their bodies, it was as if they had encountered no resistance and went straight through.

They could even see the sword edges passing through the water soldiers’ backs!

Anyone who saw this would be momentarily bewildered.

However, the water soldiers didn’t hesitate for a moment. They swung their weapons, directly tearing through the armor of the private soldiers and inflicting severe wounds. Then, they ignored the multiple weapon strikes that came at them, swiftly decapitating the private soldier in front of them.

In the face of enemies who couldn’t be harmed in any way, the outcome of the battle had been known from the very beginning.

The more the private army of the councilors attacked, the more hopeless they felt. Their weapons were utterly useless. They could cut off a water soldier’s arm, and the next moment, it would grow back, and it would counterattack.

Less than half a minute had passed, and they had lost hundreds of their own soldiers, while the enemy hadn’t suffered a single casualty.

How could they even compete?

A mere hundred and fifty water soldiers appeared before them like a hundred and fifty towering mountains, inspiring fear.

Even the most loyal and fearless warriors would feel fear and confusion when facing such stubborn opponents. They didn’t even know how to overcome them.

While the water soldiers held off the enemy, the battle on the sea’s surface was coming to an end.

Dozens of warships were sunk without mercy by a single one, and hundreds of sailors drowned or were killed. The sea surface was littered with pale-skinned corpses and debris from the ships.

Faced with the Crown of the Ocean’s army who held an absolute environmental advantage, these outdated traditional warships and sailors had no chance of resistance.

When the nearly unscathed Crown of the Ocean’s army appeared in the harbor, and even after they had landed, the balance of the battle was completely disrupted.

The Crown of the Ocean demonstrated the brutal nature of soldiers born for warfare and the distinction between fifth-tier soldiers and those who truly fought like fifth-tier warriors.

Those two private armies of fifth-tier soldiers were even more fragile than paper before the Naga Legion and the Dragonblood Legion. They were easily scattered by a single charge.

Over thirty thousand fourth-tier soldiers lost their significance in the overwhelming magical light and arrow rain, falling one by one.

At this moment, human lives were worth less than the lives of sea beasts.

Especially when a few councilors and the President of the Council, Hademan, died in the chaotic and violent magical energy, the remaining private soldiers completely lost their will to fight. Except for a small number who continued to resist, most of the surviving ones chose to surrender.

As they watched the few remaining councilors being tied up with pale faces, the players of the Starshine Islands finally came to their senses after the initial shock.

They took a deep breath.

The heavens of the Starshine Islands… were about to change.

The events here were immediately posted on the forums.

“Shocking! The Starshine Islands are about to undergo a major transformation!”

Especially with a post title reminiscent of a certain news website, it piqued the curiosity of many players.

They clicked on it while grumbling about what kind of clickbait these guys were using.

But after reading the post, they were all stunned.

Oh my god! Is it really going to change?

Intertribal conflicts among native forces were common in this not-so-peaceful world. However, what was happening on the Starshine Islands was beyond their imagination.

But what happened in the Starshine Islands was beyond their imagination.

A passing indigenous army came to Starshine City’s aid in repelling the sea beast onslaught, but after paying a steep price to fend off the oceanic threat, they discovered that Starshine City was unwilling to fulfill the promised rewards.

In a fit of anger, this indigenous army ruthlessly defeated Starshine City’s forces, leaving them in disarray. They also captured the mastermind behind it all, a member of the council, and seized control of the entire Starshine Islands.

What kind of magical plot was this?

While the casual players were surfing the internet like madmen, one of the main figures in all of this, Ji Chen, was now seated in the council chamber at the center of Starshine City.

Looking at the council chamber, which symbolized the highest authority in Starshine City, he appeared somewhat troubled.

Wait a minute, wasn’t he here to demand the reward for repelling the sea beast tide from Hademan?

How did they end up conquering Starshine City, and even the Starshine Islands, in such a haphazard manner?

All of this exceeded his original expectations.

But now, the die had been cast, and Ji Chen began to contemplate how to handle the situation.

Firstly, it was impossible for him to invest a significant amount of effort in completely taking over this place. There was no time for it, and he didn’t have enough manpower.

Building the Crown of the Ocean and managing the Great Luminescent Sea was already taxing enough. Managing these islands hundreds of kilometers away would be even more challenging.

Distance was a problem that needed consideration.contemporary romance

So, should he simply return this place?

He quickly dismissed that thought. After just capturing this place, giving it back immediately would be pointless.

Besides, most of the councilors were already dead, and even the President of the Council, Hademan, had perished due to the magic. There was no one to return it to.

At the very least, he needed to secure the reward he was entitled to first.

Of course, one-tenth of the council families’ wealth was the original price, and now he wasn’t going to settle for anything less.

As he contemplated, a thought gradually emerged.

After a dozen or so minutes, Ji Chen concluded his contemplation and with a determined expression, gave his orders.

“Spread my command: Have the Naga Legion and the Dragonblood Legion block the estates of the Thirteen Council Families. Plunder their storerooms and treasuries, and bring me everything – resources, treasures, valuables, anything of worth, all of it!

Gather all the oceangoing ships in Starshine City. I need a sufficiently large fleet to transport these goods.

The Knight Legion and the Guardian Legion will maintain order in Starshine City and the surrounding waters. At least while we still occupy this place, everything must remain stable!

At the same time, have Anina return to the New Moon Islands as fast as possible. Notify Sonia to lead a Coral Palace army here at the fastest speed. 1 need their forces now.”

“Yes!”
