Chapter 771: Plan to Support the Southern Continent (2)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

These armies were exceptionally powerful, with seamless coordination and a level of madness and aggression that surpassed anything they had encountered before!

At the same time, several high-level heroes leaped down from the turtle’s back

and joined the fray.

In just a matter of minutes, this demon army of ten thousand was wiped out. Benbo emerged from the water, leaping onto the turtle shell and approaching Ji Chen respectfully.

“My lord, the invading demon army has been annihilated, not a single survivor.”

“Excellent.” Ji Chen nodded. “Continue with reconnaissance and remain vigilant against further demon attacks.”

“Yes!”

Watching Benbo depart once more, Alice approached his side, pondering as she looked at the demon corpses floating to the surface.

“My lord, it seems not only the Dreadlord has organized water demon forces, but other demon lords have also cultivated their own.”

Ji Chen shook his head. “That’s not surprising. There’s competition among demon lords as well. Before invading the main world, their conflicts in the depths of chaos were just as intense as their assaults on us. Now, they’ve only temporarily set aside their differences under the command of the dark gods to form a relatively loose alliance to attack the main world.

There’s mutual distrust among them, so it’s not surprising they’re secretly cultivating demon armies.

And, you see, news of our victory against the Dreadlord has been circulating for quite some time now. Apart from being more vigilant against us, the other demon lords haven’t shown any signs of seeking revenge or the like.”

Alice pursed her lips. “Demons remind me of a muscular giant: strong and sturdy, but with a lack of coordination among its limbs, as if it’s only able to move forward under the command of its head.”

“Avery apt analogy, and that’s where our opportunity lies.”

“So, how should we handle the situation in the Southern Continent?” Alice asked.

After agreeing to accompany Ari to the Kingdom of Ugisai, Ji Chen had the giant turtle travel underwater to reach the vicinity of the northwest coastline of the Southern Continent, where reconnaissance teams were dispatched.

But the subsequent reports he received were slightly surprising.

Currently, the southern part of the Southern Continent had fallen completely, becoming a slaughterhouse and paradise for demons. The central region had also been occupied, but there were still some guerrilla forces remaining. The northern part, however, had yet to be conquered.

While the desert nations and factions in the Southern Continent formed the Desert Alliance, they were currently resisting the attacks of the Greed Lord in the northern regions, with one of them being the Kingdom of Ugisai.

According to reconnaissance reports, the Desert Alliance’s resistance was incredibly tenacious. They utilized their familiarity with the terrain and relied on numerous strategic positions to fortify their front lines, barely holding the demons south of the Roni River, the largest river in the Southern Continent.

Of course, this may also be because the Greed Lord was focusing his attention on clearing out guerrilla forces in the occupied areas and contaminating the land, rather than committing all his forces to the attack.

Regardless, this was quite different from the worst-case scenario Ji Chen had initially imagined, where the Southern Continent had completely fallen.

The existence of resistance fighters was always heartening news. However, at the same time, he also needed to consider the impact of Balzarna’s death on other demon lords. Would it alter their war strategies? For example, would the Undead Lord, also present in the Southern Continent, set aside his conflict with the Greed Lord, swallow his pride, and choose to sandwich the Desert Alliance to quickly conquer the Southern Continent?

Therefore, he decided to launch a firepower attack on the undead demon forces stationed on the coast.

But obviously, relying solely on the firepower carried by the giant turtle was insufficient to resolve the crisis in the Southern Continent. As powerful as the giant turtle was, it was still just one, and its firepower could only reach a hundred miles, leaving the more inland battlefields out of reach.

At this moment, private messages from Luo Yang, Monkey Gift, and Monkey Gift Hair came in. The Elven Empire and Lienhardt were assembling fleets to head to the Crown of the Ocean, undoubtedly providing hope for solving this problem.

“We’ll return to the Crown of the Ocean first and inform the elves of the situation here, seeking their support for the Southern Continent,” Ji Chen said solemnly. “Meanwhile, the giant turtle will continue to roam near the coastline, harassing the demons.”

Alice nodded. If the Elven Empire went to the Crown of the Ocean without the presence of Lord Ji Chen, problems might arise.

“Furthermore, send a hundred-strong team led by Yali along the Rom River to the northern front line of the Desert Alliance. Inform them that reinforcements are on the way and urge them to hold on until the arrival of the

reinforcements.”

“I understand.”

Shortly after, Ji Chen immediately set off with Alice and a hundred-man team of Sea Crystal Wyrms to return to the Crown of the Ocean.

For the Sea Crystal Wyrms, which could fly at extreme speeds, the return journey of thousands of miles took only a few hours.

After a day of flying, the Stormy Sea came into view.

Without any hesitation, the Sea Crystal Wyrms swiftly dashed through the outer periphery of the storm, their crystalline wings adjusting their posture as they gradually slowed down from their supersonic speed and landed on the Lord’s Castle.

The news of Ji Chen’s return spread throughout the Crown of the Ocean instantly, bringing relief to many representatives of nations and factions. Any delay in his return would have caused them anxiety.

Representatives from all sides rushed to the meeting hall to meet Ji Chen. Many of them were meeting the renowned Lord of Glory, whose fame had spread across the entire continent, for the first time and naturally were very curious. When they saw Ji Chen’s appearance, they couldn’t help but admire the handsome and extraordinary man.

Then they sincerely bowed.

“Good day, Lord Ji Chen.”

Facing an epic-tier powerhouse, regardless of their age or appearance, one must maintain noble respect, especially when this individual was someone who had defeated an above epic-tier.

Facing the bows of many representatives, Ji Chen only nodded slightly.

He said without hestiation, “I’m very pleased that you could come to the Crown of the Ocean. I won’t waste time on meaningless pleasantries. I’ve just returned from the Southern Continent. Alice, please briefly explain the current situation in the Southern Continent.”

Alice nodded. “Yes.”

The representatives were surprised and quickly said, “We’re all ears.

After hearing Alice’s explanation, they all showed expressions of astonishment.

One representative exclaimed, “I didn’t expect the Southern Continent to be so resilient, holding off the Greed Lord for such a long time. It’s admirable.”

“That’s right. Now we have greater initiative.”

Ji Chen glanced at them and continued, “What I’m about to say is this: I believe we need to send reinforcements to the Southern Continent as soon as possible to support those who are still resisting the demons.”

“Lord Ji Chen, do you have any specific plans?” asked the representative of the Elven Empire, raising their hand.

Ji Chen glanced at him, then subtly looked at a figure among the elves, and said in a deep voice, “Send warships to harass and bombard the demons stationed on the coast of the Southern Continent. Use all means to drive them away from the coastline. Then, let our warriors land and open up a second battlefield in the Southern Continent, relieving the Desert Alliance from worrying about attacks from behind.”

At the same time, utilize the naval supremacy obtained from the Crown of the Ocean to continuously supply the Desert Alliance with materials, delaying the Greed Lord and the Undead Lord’s conquest of the Southern Continent as much as possible, buying time to defeat the Decay Lord and the Void Lord.” The representatives discussed among themselves, but there was no sign of opposition in their eyes.

This seemed to be the best solution to the current situation.

Soon, one by one, they reached a consensus.

“Lord Ji Chen, I believe this plan is feasible.”

“I also think so. Leveraging the Desert Alliance to distract the two Lords will bring significant benefits.”

“The longer the Desert Alliance delays, the better for us.”

Without exception, all representatives believed that this plan could be implemented.

The biggest advantage of this plan was that it seized the initiative. The true force resisting the Greed Lord and the Undead Lord was not them, but the Desert Alliance. They only needed to expend resources to achieve their goals. Why wouldn’t they do it?

At this moment of demon invasion, just like the various demon Lords, the forces of the orderly fraction were still not unified, with subtle underlying divisions.

Since they could reduce their own losses by using others’ casualties, why wouldn’t they do so?

The extent of human ugliness was no less than the evil of demons.
