Chapter 432: The Sea Beast Leaves, the Sea Beast Riot, and a Huge Harvest of Meat

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The Sea Beast Tide, having been suppressed throughout their journey, finally saw their enemy and immediately swarmed to attack.

The Crown of the Ocean’s army, well-rested and prepared, did not hesitate to unleash a barrage of arrows and spells, raining down upon the enemy.

The melee troops formed an unbreakable defensive line, preventing any sea beast from breaking through.

If this trend continued, the battle would undoubtedly end in victory for the Crown of the Ocean.

The only variable was the sea beast leaders. Observing the formidable frontline, a cunning, almost human-like slyness glinted in their eyes.

“Roar—”

A tribe of Grey Scale Serpent humanoids, numbering one thousand five hundred Tier 5, four-star sea beasts, heeded their leader’s call. They broke away from the main force, planning to bypass the defense line and infiltrate the island from the side. Their plan was to let the foolish, barbaric sea beasts hold off the defenders while they sneaked in for a feast.

Ji Chen, ever vigilant on the battlefield, quickly noticed the Grey Scale Serpent Humanoids’ movement.

He ordered Alice to intercept them.

She immediately led the waiting Soul Servant Legion to rush to the scene.

Soon, Alice, with her powerful mind control abilities, annihilated the Grey Scale Serpent Humanoid tribe, adding many of them to her ranks of Soul Servants.

Several sea beast tribes attempted to bypass the defense line and infiltrate the Crown of the Ocean’s territory, but all were discovered and promptly stopped, meeting total annihilation.

As time passed, the strong-willed Crown of the Ocean’s army caused many sea beasts to start doubting their purpose. No matter how they attacked or charged, the few kilometers of defense line stood unyielding, with countless of their kin perishing under gunfire and blades.

Unable to break the frontline and ineffective in stealth attacks, some of the more rational sea beasts, or rather, the Sea Clans, began to ponder whether it was worth it to forcefully challenge this tough nut to crack.

When sea beasts possess wisdom and order, they become Sea Clans.

Often, the difference between a sea beast and a Sea Clan is just a matter of thought.

What Ji Chen didn’t know was that this Sea Beast Tide wasn’t merely caused by the emergence of powerful sea beasts; there were more secretive reasons behind it.

This tide, starting from the southern part of the Western Mediterranean Sea, was massive and gathered countless sea beasts, driven by some will and purpose towards the northern part of the Western Mediterranean Sea.

Along the way, every ship they encountered and every human-inhabited island fell under their razor-sharp fangs, turning into nothing more than food in their bellies.

Although only a fraction of the Sea Beast Tide passed through the Stormy Sea, not the largest in number or quality, they still destroyed hundreds of villages and towns along the way, devouring countless lives.

But today, these usually invincible creatures faced a Waterloo on this seemingly insignificant island.

This surprised the attacking sea beasts.

Many intelligent sea beast leaders, seeing this situation, chose to retreat wisely, leading their people around this area to avoid delaying their subsequent plans.

The original army of 350,000 sea beasts first lost 50,000 lured away, then another 100,000 were depleted in various ways along the journey, leaving just over 200,000.

After a large number of Sea Beast Tribes retreated, only less than 100,000 mindless, bloodthirsty sea beasts remained on the field, still furiously attacking, completely unaware that most of their kind had already left.

Although they retreated, the Crown of the Ocean, situated in the open ocean and deep within the Sea Clan territory, was now etched in the memories of many Sea Beast Tribes.

Ji Chen, who had been closely observing the situation, was surprised to see the usually mindlessly charging sea beasts unanimously bypassing and leaving the Crown of the Ocean.

Even Anina was baffled, not understanding why this was happening. Logically, a Sea Beast Tide wouldn’t disperse unless most of the sea beasts were killed.

The sight of over a hundred thousand sea beasts voluntarily leaving was undoubtedly reshaping her worldview.

Although Ji Chen didn’t know why they had given up the attack, it was undoubtedly good news. The remaining beasts were mostly lower-tier and posed little threat to the Crown of the Ocean. They could be cleared out with some time.

At the same time, he didn’t let his guard down and dispatched dozens of scouting teams to track the departing sea beasts’ paths, preventing any potential surprise attacks.

The remaining sea beasts gradually disintegrated under the attack of the Crown of the Ocean’s army, their numbers significantly decreasing.

“Have you ever seen anything like this?” Ji Chen asked.

“Unheard of,” Anina replied, equally puzzled. “This is completely out of character for sea beasts. Once they join a Sea Beast Tide, they are filled with the desire to feed. The Crown of the Ocean has so many people; it’s impossible for them to just give up like that.”

“Unless…”

“Unless what?”

Anina’s face showed a hint of seriousness. “Unless there are other factors that overcame their feeding desire.”

Other factors?

Ji Chen furrowed his brow. “Could it be that powerful sea beast causing the Sea Beast Tide?”

“Maybe, but there’s too little information known right now to make a judgment,” Anina shook her head.

At that moment, Ji Chen suddenly noticed he had received a private message.

Upon opening it, he saw it was from l_Love_Black_Stockings, whom he hadn’t heard from in a while.

“Big Boss, Big Boss, have you been attacked by sea beasts? We’ve got a lot of them here, swarming in groups and wreaking havoc in the surrounding seas..”
