After the brief excitement of leveling up, Anina looked at the scattered corpses and filth, with a hint of worry on her face.

“All, so many dead again. It seems that more sea heirs will attack soon. Big trouble is coming.” she sighed.

Curious, Ji Chen asked, “If that’s the case, how did you manage to evade the sea heirs before?”

“Of course, we fought and then ran. Each time the sea heirs come, they are stronger and their numbers increase. Who can withstand that? As long as we don’t get caught by them, there won’t be any problems,” Anina explained casually.

A somber expression fell upon Ji Chen’s face. Individuals may flee, but their territory cannot escape.

Facing an enemy that could become stronger, the best approach was to take the initiative and completely eliminate the sea heir group’s leader. As creatures with hive-minded thinking, individual common sea heirs were meaningless. Each one represented the whole, and if the sea heir leader was killed, the rest would wither away like rootless duckweed.

Unfortunately, they still didn’t know the location of this sea heir group’s habitat or the position of their leader. They had no direction for an offensive.

This left Ji Chen with a headache.

During this period, he needed to expedite resource acquisition and continue to unlock the military talent tree. Currently, besides the Dragon Blood Murlocs, the rest of their main force units had lower tiers compared to the sea heirs. If it weren’t for Alice’s exceptional contribution this time, there would have been significant casualties upon contact.

This realization made Ji Chen aware of his overreliance on Alice during this period and his neglect of unit development.

No matter how powerful Alice was, she was still only one person. Even if she advanced to the Red Tier, she could only control a few thousand ordinary units at most, and even fewer if they were high-tier units.

What if they faced tens of thousands of enemies in the future? The thought of facing sea heirs in the four or five-digit range instantly overwhelmed Ji Chen, leading him to silently complain.

With a sigh, he waved his hand, instructing the army to collect the sea heir corpses and liquid from the beach and sea. Afterwards, he ordered them to set everything ablaze, completely eliminating the remains. The burning pyre resembled a volcano, spreading a foul odor.

Summoning the others, Ji Chen embarked on the journey back.

Along the way, he pondered how to properly respond to the upcoming sea heir attacks.

Upon returning to their territory, Ji Chen finally snapped back to reality.

“My Lord, have you dealt with those sea heirs?”

“Yes, they have been taken care of. But the situation is not optimistic. Sea heirs capable of flight have emerged.”

“Flight-capable sea heirs? Doesn’t that mean our territory will be easily discovered?”

“At this point, we have no other choice. We need to accelerate the construction of various buildings.” Ji Chen shook his head. “Additionally, 1 will search for blueprints for anti-aircraft buildings to defend against their airborne forces.”

“Alas, that’s the only way.” Wilus sighed, mentally preparing to lead the residents of the Crown of the Ocean personally in battles against the sea heirs. The Crown of the Ocean had become their home, and they were determined to defend it, even if it meant giving their lives.

After bidding farewell to Wilus, who hurriedly left to expedite the construction of various buildings, Ji Chen’s entire team became busy under the pressure of long-lost survival. They intensified their efforts in all aspects.

Raymond, who had just come out of the house, looked around at the bustling activity and the sense of an approaching storm, and froze.

He quickly walked over, saluted, and asked, “My lord, what’s happening?”

“Nothing much… Are you ready to set off?” Ji Chen nodded, realizing that Raymond probably had an idea of what was going on.

“I am prepared and can depart at any time,” Raymond promptly replied.

Once again, Ji Chen nodded with a sense of urgency, fully aware that the imminent threat of the sea heirs demanded swift action. He understood the need to expedite all preparations and muster all his strength for the forthcoming battle.

“Very well, you shall depart tomorrow morning. Sell the specialty products for resources as soon as possible and return,” Ji Chen instructed.

Small boats shuttled between the merchant ships and the main island, carrying precious processed jungle wood and iron boxes filled with golden bass fish into the cargo hold.

The premium coffee beans had also been dried and stored in containers that could extend their shelf life, ready to be shipped.

These specialty products would become the first batch of goods exported by the Crown of the Ocean, marking the first step in gaining recognition!

One day, the name of the Crown of the Ocean would resound far and wide.

At noon the next day, the group stood on the beach bidding farewell to their departing companions.

“My Lord, this journey will take at least twenty days, maybe even a month, before 1 return. 1 will bring back what you desire,” Raymond, patting his ball-like belly, exuded confidence.

“I have confidence in you. Set sail,” Ji Chen replied, waving his hand.

Seeing this, Raymond didn’t linger any longer. He turned around and waved goodbye to the remaining crew members, then proceeded towards the distant fleet of four ships.

Halfway there, he stood up and bid farewell to Ji Chen once again, knowing that something must have happened..
