Chapter 283: Elves Join the Battle, the Smoke of War

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Just after leaving the Lord’s castle, the elves witnessed a sudden “commotion” in the entire Crown of the Ocean, looking somewhat bewildered.

“Your Excellency, what’s happening?”

“Some evil sea creatures are preparing to attack the Crown of the Ocean. It might be dangerous to stay here. You should follow the residents to the caves for safety.”

The elves nodded but didn’t leave. Instead, they spoke with determination, “Please let us join the battle!”

“You?” Ji Chen frowned, “You are guests; there’s no need for guests to fight.”

One of the elves stepped forward and explained with a salute, “Your Excellency, you rescued us from the gnomes, and we still don’t know how to repay you. So, let us fight alongside you this time.

Though we are young, we’ve undergone rigorous training within our clan. Just provide us with bows and arrows, and we can contribute to the fight!”

Seeing their determination, Ji Chen couldn’t refuse and nodded, saying sternly, “I can allow you to join the battle, but you must obey my orders. Any disobedience will be treated as insubordination!”

“Understood!”

As the elven women reemerged, they were clad in practical leather armor, wielding robust bows, and had two quivers of arrows slung over their shoulders. Additionally, they had a short sword fastened to their waist and a dagger secured to their lower legs.

The once delicate elven women had transformed into resolute elven female warriors.

[Elven Rangers]

[Race]: Elves

[Tier]: Fourth Tier, 3 Stars

[Skills]: Elven Archery (Purple Skill, greatly enhances shooting accuracy, technique, and speed)

Rapid Shot (Purple Skill, allows rapid consecutive shots of three arrows)

Hawkeye (Purple Skill, significantly improves dynamic and static vision)

Elven Swordsmanship (Purple Skill, enhances melee combat ability)

[Unit Traits]: Children of the Jungle (Attributes increase by 75% in jungle battles, with an additional 50% increase in movement speed and agility, and a significant improvement in stealth)

[Elven Rangers are the backbone of the elven race and their combat abilities in the jungle strike fear into their enemies.]

The panel for these Elven Rangers was quite impressive. Being fourth-tier with three stars, their tier was relatively high. When combined with their jungle combat attributes, their overall strength might even surpass that of the Naga Berserkers.

“Your Excellency, the Elven squad reports to you!”

With the situation urgent, Ji Chen wasted no time and gave his orders, “Your task is to make use of your advantage in jungle warfare and eliminate any Sea Heirs entering the jungle!”

The elves nodded and swiftly disappeared into the jungle.

At this moment, the Sky Guardians were already soaring in the sky, closely monitoring the surrounding seas.

The Warning Lighthouse could detect above the sea surface but couldn’t penetrate below to monitor underwater enemies.

No one knew how many Sea Heirs were approaching right now.

A large number of Ocean Guardians, like scattered beans, spread out, forming a web that covered the surrounding seas. This served both for reconnaissance and to slow down the Sea Heirs’ advance, allowing the residents of the Crown of the Ocean to complete their evacuation and find refuge.

Ji Chen suddenly felt a tremor in his body, his expression turning serious.

“What’s wrong, my lord?” Alice asked in a hushed voice.

“The Ocean Guardians positioned to the northwest, west, and southeast of the New Moon Islands have been destroyed, more than ten of them.”

As his words fell, the heroes exchanged uneasy glances.

Before the Sea Heirs’ previous attacks had only occurred in the eastern sea, but this time, they simultaneously appeared in multiple directions, suggesting that the Sea Heirs seemed to have a “brain” directing them.

At this moment, in the depths of a secluded trench at the edge of the Stormy Sea, a massive fleshy mass with hundreds of tentacles lay silently on the trench floor, its tentacles trembling slightly with the flow of seawater.

Each tremor conveyed information to a group of Sea Heirs hundreds of miles away, and the enormous fleshy mass served as the perfect receptor, transmitting the information collected by thousands of Sea Heirs.

“Children…attack…exterminate…”

“Human…consume…evolve!”

Inside the Lord’s Manor.

Anina’s expression was extremely serious.

“This time, there must be a Sea Heir leader commanding them from behind; otherwise, they couldn’t have this kind of intelligence to launch attacks from multiple directions!

Sea Heirs without a leader are just a group of brutes who only know how to rampage, but Sea Heirs with a leader are the most cunning hunters, significantly increasing the level of danger!

During my days of solitary sea exploration, I encountered a Sea Heir tribe numbering only a few thousand members, led by a Sea Heir chief. They managed to utterly obliterate a Naga tribe, which boasted a population of over a hundred thousand. The entire Naga tribe fell victim to the Sea Heirs, serving as their sustenance.

So, Your Grace, you must stay vigilant and never underestimate this Sea Heir leader!”

Seeing Anina so serious, Ji Chen also shook his head. “There’s no need to worry about this. I’ve already put all our troops on the highest alert. There are patrols and guards on every inch of land on New Moon Islands.

Even if we can’t defeat the Sea Heirs, I’ve also drawn a 4,000-strong army of Lizardmen warriors, which should hold them off for quite some time.

Moreover, Anina, with me here, you don’t need to be so nervous..”
