Chapter 194: Leaving King Kong Island, an Impassioned Speech

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ji Chen walked back with his hands behind his back, but he saw l_Love_Black_Stockings looking at him with a resentful expression.

“Big Boss Islander, when did you bring back so many Half-Orcs?”

“Them? I ran into them on the way back from the ruins and invited them to join us.”

Ran into, invited.

I_Love_Black_Stockings couldn’t help but twitch her eye corner when she heard these words.

What a lie!

Why didn’t she run into so many Half-Orcs when she walked?

If he just ran into them, why would he allow them to bring their whole families to cross the forest from afar just to find him!?

Looking at the two Half-Orc heroes, Daro and Irona, she couldn’t help but salivate.

They were blue and Purple-Rare tier heroes who came to offer themselves voluntarily…

Could this be the aura of a big boss? Naturally attracting people to come and join?

Seeing I_Love_Black_Stockings’ envious expression, Ji Chen shrugged, not explaining too much.

He turned his gaze to the group of Half-Orcs.

Among them, besides the mature Half-Orcs, there were also quite a few elderly, weak, and young ones. They were subtly divided into several groups.

Summoning Irona, Ji Chen inquired and learned that this group of Half-Orcs consisted not only of Toothwood Tribe and Daro Tribe members but also from other tribes.

As it turned out, after Ji Chen left and Irona gathered the other three Half-Orc tribes whose gathering grounds and hunting grounds had also been occupied, they attempted to concentrate their forces and launch a counterattack.

The result was quite clear—they were soundly defeated and forced to retreat.

Apart from Irona and Daro, the chiefs of the other three tribes were killed on the spot during the counterattack.

Eventually, under Irona’s suggestion, they fled with the remaining Half-Orcs and sought refuge here.

So, the group of Half-Orcs here consisted of members from five different tribes.

Upon careful counting, there were more than 1,750 Half-Orcs in total.

Once they joined the Ocean Crown (Crown of the Ocean), they would become the second-largest population after humans among the subjects.

Previously, when Ji Chen just arrived on the island and helped I_Love_Black_ Stockings deal with those four players, he also gained a batch of population from their territory. The number of people was slightly less than this group of Half-Orcs but still amounted to more than 1,500.

Adding them together, there were over 3,000 people in total.

This trip to King Kong Island, apart from other resources gained, just the population alone could be considered a huge fortune.

Feeling in high spirits, Ji Chen waved his hand, and the troops began to transport the Half-Orcs onto the ships.

After half a day, all the Half-Orcs were loaded onto the ships, and the fleet was ready to set sail.

On the shore, Ji Chen bid farewell to I_Love_Black_Stockings.

“Big Boss Islander, come visit my place whenever you have the time. I will definitely treat you well!”

“I got it. I also welcome you to the Ocean Crown.” Ji Chen didn’t say much; he wasn’t much of a talker himself, just politely replied.

Unexpectedly, when l_Love_Black_Stockings heard this, her eyes brightened. “To the Ocean Crown? I might feel a bit embarrassed, but since you invited me, I can’t now show my respect and refuse you.”

“After I finish reconstructing my territory and organizing everything, I will come to visit you as a guest!”

Ji Chen watched as l_Love_Black_Stockings spoke with a smooth tongue, slightly surprised, but then smiled, “Alright, you’re welcome to come.”

The Ocean Crown and New Moon Islands would inevitably attract attention from the world, and having I_Love_Black_Stockings as the second player on the New Moon Islands was a promising idea.

With this thought in mind, Ji Chen didn’t waste any more time. He waved his hand, jumped down into the sea, and walked on the layered water steps towards the New Moon.

The fleet, which had been anchored for several days, set sail again and began its journey back.

The journey was as dull as ever.

Three days later.

Ji Chen looked at the gradually appearing New Moon Islands and felt quite pleased.

No matter how exciting and bustling the outside world was, it couldn’t compare to the comfort and peace of his own territory.

Compared to when he left, there were visibly more buildings on the island, giving off a hint of civilization.

On the deck, Half-Orcs and humans gathered by the ship’s rail, looking at the distant outline of the islands. Their faces displayed both anxiety and hope.

This was going to be their new home…

The fleet circled around the islands and finally sailed into the bay on the eastern side of the main island.

Here, a large water fort and a developing commercial port came into view.

The stationed troops inside the water fort had long spotted Ji Chen and his group. They had already opened the fort’s gate, and the fleet sailed in, docking at the pier.

All the residents of the Ocean Crown, led by Wilus, gathered at the shore to welcome them.

As the New Moon dropped anchor, Ji Chen stood at the side of the ship, looking down at the residents below, who were also gazing back at him.

He raised his right hand and waved, “I’m back.”

Boom…

Like a burst of flood, the residents erupted into thunderous cheers, their faces filled with excitement.

“The Lord is back!!”

“Our Lord returned triumphantly this time, bringing back several warships!”

“Of course! Our Lord is a wise and heroic leader. What’s just a few warships to him? And it looks like he has brought back quite a few new residents too. Our territory is going to be even livelier now!”

Amidst the cheers of the residents, Ji Chen was the first to step down from the ship and walked onto the pier.

Like a victorious general returning from a campaign, he followed the path cleared by the people and reached the center of the crowd.

Standing atop a water platform, he allowed everyone to see him clearly and his dignified posture..
