Chapter 471: Herald Is Injured? Battle Situation

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After leaving the Starshine Islands, Ji Chen headed northwest and, after four full days at sea, arrived near the northwest coast of the Central Ocean.

This journey was made possible by the Ocean Crown naval forces and Ji Chen’s use of tidal acceleration, which significantly shortened the travel time compared to the usual one to two weeks it would have taken on a regular ship.

This vastness of the Central Ocean was truly astounding.

The sun was shining brightly, and the sea and sky merged into one.

When he saw a hint of brown amidst the usual blue and white in the distance, Ji Chen’s heart relaxed.

They had arrived!

This marked their second journey to the mainland.

As they drew closer, more of the land became visible: rolling mountains, verdant trees, black cliffs, and seagulls hunting by the seashore.

However, this was evidently not their final destination.

Because Ji Chen didn’t know the capital of the Lienhardt Grand Duchy or the location of their military encampments, he had no idea which part of this country’s territory they had reached or which city was nearby.

To get involved in the affairs between the two countries, he needed to locate the Lienhardt Grand Duchy’s forces first.

With this thought in mind, Ji Chen spoke in a solemn tone.

“Benbo.”

“Master, I’m here.”

“Have the Dragonblood Legion send out two hundred-person teams to scout along the coastline, one on the left and one on the right!

Remember not to initiate any hostilities, hide yourselves, and return promptly to report!”

“Yes!”

Benbo went to the Dragonblood Legion formation with his trident and soon dispatched two hundred-person teams. The Dragon Blood Murlocs shot out like white streaks on the sea, resembling a hundred boats racing on the water.

About twenty to thirty minutes later, the two Dragon Blood Murloc hundred-person teams returned with news.

They discovered a camp under attack about twenty to thirty kilometers to the right of this location on the coastal side.

Ji Chen’s spirits soared.

He immediately waved his hand and led the army towards the camp.

In his line of sight, a camp with flames soaring into the sky quickly appeared. The sounds of battle echoed through the sky as soldiers, resembling black dots, defended against the enemy’s assault using the camp’s wooden walls and fortifications.

By focusing on their flags, he soon identified the two sides.

The defenders were from the Lienhardt Grand Duchy, while the attackers were unmistakably from the Kingdom of Bass. The exact number of defenders was unclear due to the fortifications, but it didn’t seem to be many. On the other hand, the attackers numbered at least three thousand soldiers.

Judging by the situation, it wouldn’t be long before the camp would be forcibly captured by the Kingdom of Bass.

Ji Chen’s eyes lit up, but he also felt a sense of confusion.

This level of combat was clearly not a minor skirmish but a full-fledged war.

Could it be that while he was on his way, the two countries had already gone to war?

Seeing allies under attack right before his eyes, Ji Chen naturally couldn’t stand idly by and immediately spoke up.

“Herald, take the Naga Legion to support the soldiers of the Lienhardt Grand Duchy, yes, the defending side.”

“I will follow your will and bring you a perfect victory.”

A hint of excitement and cruelty flashed in Herald’s eyes as if he could already smell the enemy’s blood. He let out a low growl, and with the Naga Guardians, he surged forward like a dark blue-black wave.

The Naga Legion now had over sixteen hundred Naga Guardians, all at Tier 5. After the battle against the sea beasts in the Starshine Islands, their average level had reached 42. They possessed formidable strength.

Upon landing, they suddenly struck the flank of the Kingdom of Bass’ formation, causing chaos among the soldiers.

The soldiers of the Kingdom of Bass had never expected an enemy to appear suddenly on their flank. They were caught off guard, and the Naga Guardians, over two meters tall, were like rolling sharp blades, rapidly widening the gap, and the soldiers’ lives flowed away as fast as blood.

The officers of the Kingdom of Bass, witnessing this scene, were both shocked and furious.

Where had these sea creatures come from?

They were on the verge of breaking through the Lienhardt Grand Duchy’s camp to complete Marshal Russell’s mission. They would not allow this merit to go to waste.

“All reserve units, charge out and kill those damned snake-tailed sea creatures!”

“Victory belongs to the great Kingdom of Bass, for His Majesty!”

Two reserve units immediately charged out, including a cavalry unit of three hundred soldiers.

He believed that under the iron hooves of the cavalry, these enemies would be crushed like rotten flesh.

Thud—

The hundreds of hooves trampled recklessly, shaking the ground. The eyes of the Kingdom of Bass’ cavalry behind their helmets were filled with coldness and cruelty. Under the charge of the organized cavalry, any enemy would be torn to pieces.

These snake-tailed sea creatures were no exception.

However, Herald, who felt the ground tremble, immediately sensed the enemy cavalry’s approach. In his vertical pupils, there was no fear but rather a sense of joy.

The more enemies there were, the happier he became.

His muscles, as solid as rock, rippled across his entire body. His menacing wings on his back suddenly spread, reaching a width of four to five meters. With a powerful flap of his wings, Herald, amidst the swirling dust, shot into the sky like a rocket. He traced a half-circular arc in the air, transforming into a streak of blue light.

Rip-

Four stunned heads were sent flying, and blood gushed skyward from the severed necks.

The sound was akin to tearing silk, and the enormous wings acted like the sharpest of blades, cutting straight through the torsos of the four riders at the front. Even their warhorses were torn into two pieces, twitching on the ground..
