The soldier remembered that he didn't seem to mention that the masked woman in the battle was actually a siren, nor did he say that the mysterious "master" had made a move and possessed great power.

But just as he was thinking about whether to report these to the council, he suddenly remembered the faces of those council masters.

I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled and resentful in my heart.

The lord and the army had fought with them for a day and a night, and it was only with great difficulty that they were able to repel the tide of sea beasts.

And you council lords are hiding here in peace, and you are even ready to run away at any time.

But that's about it.

But now these council lords actually want to take advantage of the adult's weakness to attack him.

Is this still the Council of Shining City that he knows and understands?

It seems that the Council of Starlight City has gradually lost its former progress and glory over the course of hundreds of years, and has become a reptile lying on its rotten body and chewing flesh and blood!

At this moment, a trace of undue thoughts rose in his heart.

It's better to let that lord kill those high-ranking old men, maybe the future of the Star Islands will be brighter.

……

The other side.

The Ocean Champions team, who completely defeated the sea beast tide and expelled the remnants of the sea beasts from the Starlight Islands, are also counting the casualties this time.

Because many fifth-order sea beasts participated in the battle in the later stages of the battle, they were all fifth-order troops, and even if there were many inheritance-level legendary-level heroes participating in the battle, the damage suffered by the Ocean Champion team was not light.

Among them, the Naga Legion, the Dragonblood Legion and the Knight Legion, which were in the front row, were the most damaged, with a quarter of them dead, and those who survived generally had large and small injuries.

The losses of the Guards Legion, which had always been firmly in the back row, were not large, but they also fell two or three hundred under the attack of some long-range fifth-order sea beasts.

Overall, there are some discrepancies between this and the soldier's report.

After all, he didn't expect that some of the people who didn't have a few pieces of good skin and flesh on their bodies, and there were more blood holes than pores in their fists, and the Champions of the Sea, who were bound to die by human standards, would still be able to survive strongly, and their injuries were recovering quickly and quickly.

However, if you count the more than 1,000 fourth-order soul slave legions that were lost as delays, the battle loss rate is about the same as one-third.

But Ji Chen didn't feel a trace of distress.

These losses were only temporary, and when he returned to the Crescent Islands, he would be able to use the Resurrection Altar to resurrect all the dead troops, and then he would be a fully formed legion.

To put it simply, they are all good brothers who can be resurrected at one time with thousands of rare resources.

After the sun starts to rise in the distance, it's too late for players who returned last night to recuperate and recharge.

Many of them tossed and turned last night, wondering what would happen if the aboriginal army didn't stop the sea beasts, and then they would finish the ball together.

As a result, most of the players gathered again when the sun was shining.

However, as soon as they returned, they saw the corpses of sea beasts floating on the sea.

And not a single living one was seen.

One by one, they were confused.

"Nani? What happened, what about the sea beasts? ”

"Damn, are you done? I remember that there are hundreds of thousands, have they already broken through here and entered the Star City? ”

Looking at the aboriginal army cleaning the battlefield on the battlefield, many players suddenly remembered the extreme red light from this side that could be seen even in the northernmost part of the Starlight Islands last night.

A crazy thought flashed through my head.

Could it be that this aboriginal army has already defeated the sea beast tide?

But how is this possible, how can you kill so many sea beasts in just one night?

Even if it is hundreds of thousands of pigs, it will not be able to catch them all in three days and three nights, let alone kill hundreds of thousands.

Then, as if to test their guesses, the masked woman reappeared on the cliff and said in a loud voice.

"The remaining attacking tide of sea beasts has been defeated by us, and the sea beast crisis in the Star Islands has officially been lifted."

"Thank you Lords of Glory for your contribution to the fight against the sea beasts, and as a reward, the master has ordered me to give you all the corpses of these sea beasts, and you can pick them up yourself, you don't have to be polite."

When the player heard this, his face suddenly became a little strange, how can he listen to this tone and feel that you are the master of this Starlight Islands.

However, these words also made them instantly excited, and there were at least four or five hundred thousand sea beast corpses floating here.

Sea beasts are not small land animals, they all grow up like they grow up on hormones, and the small ones have hundreds of units of food, and some of them are large and even one can produce thousands of units of food.

If you do a rough calculation, here is at least a million units of food.

Let them eat until next year!

However, the player is still very aggressive about himself, not so much to help resist the sea beast, but to just rub a little damage and experience on the side.

The sea beast tide was able to be defeated, mainly due to the credit of this aboriginal army.

This aboriginal army is so generous, but it makes these players feel a little embarrassed, and their hearts are greatly improved.

If the player also has opinion data, I'm afraid they will have the words +1 opinion on their heads now.

This aboriginal can be handled!

There are good things that I am really willing to give!

This is much better than those old Biden who has a knife hidden in his smile in that Starlight City.

Seeing these glory lords, they all thanked each other, and Alice, who was wearing a mask, didn't have much reaction.

It's just an adult's task.

This wave of sea beasts was defeated, and the crisis in the Star Islands was completely resolved.

After a half-day rest, the Champions of the Seas set off again to Star City in the center of the archipelago to receive their payment.

As soon as he thought of this, Ji Chen's mood improved, and he asked the army to speed up the march.

Two hours later, they arrived at the heart of the Shining Isles, Shining City.

Alice had been asked to pass the word before, but it was the first time he had come here, and there was a little curiosity in his eyes.

As the core of an archipelago that has been developed for hundreds of years, the island where Star City is located is already well built.

On the edge of the island is a large port area built along the shore, and although the buildings and harbor here are not as tall and imposing as those of Maple Grove Harbor, the continuous four- and five-story houses and wide and regular roads also reveal the wind of human civilization.

It is believed that when the Sea Beast Rebellion is over, this place will return to its former prosperity.

The army gradually approached the dock, Ji Chen's eyes wandered, and his expression became slightly solemn.

Here, there is no crowd waiting for them, but a human army that is heavily armed and exudes a cold and murderous aura.

Judging from their appearance and momentum, they were obviously more powerful than those ordinary soldiers of Star Shine City, and there were quite a few of them.

This made him a little puzzled, since Xingyao City has such a passable army, why not send it to the battlefield?

And judging by their appearance, it is not here that they are welcome to triumph.

The comers are not good.

He was secretly vigilant in his heart.

In fact, the armed forces of the Shining Islands are divided into two types, one is the ordinary army belonging to the entire Shining City, similar to the public armed forces of the Parliament.

The other is the independent private army that belongs to the various parliamentary families, these belong to the existence of the pro-soldier level, which is more elite than the ordinary army, but only obeys the orders of their respective parliamentary families.

In front of him were thirteen private armies belonging to the thirteen council families, each of which had about two thousand troops, totaling about thirty-five thousand.

Most of them are fourth-order 3~5 stars, and the level is between 30~35, and about 2,000 units are fifth-order 1-star.

In addition, there are dozens of wooden warships roaming around, one by one adjusting the trajectory of the cannon barrels, pointing at the champion team of the sea, faintly encircling.

In the distance, the shore defense batteries were also slowly turning, and the stout artillery was swaying at them.

Seeing this scene, Ji Chen's gaze completely cooled, and he casually put on a silver mask to cover his face.

They soon came to a short distance from the dock, and he raised his right hand to stop the army.

Then he stepped on a tyrannical dragon to the shore and took Alice to the dock.

At this time, those well-dressed parliamentarians also appeared from the rear of the private army.

They all set their eyes on Ji Chen, who appeared for the first time, with a bit of inquiry in their eyes, as if they wanted to see through the face behind the mask.

Neither side spoke, and the atmosphere of slaughter permeated in an instant.

Moment.

As the president of the council, Hardeman took the initiative to break the silence and walked out with a smile.

"Your Excellency, you are the master of this army? Don't know what to call it? ”

"It's the first time we've met, so let's introduce ourselves, we're ......"

"No need." Ji Chen's voice behind the mask was hoarse, completely different from Benyin, this was obviously the effect of the false mask, "I already know about you from my subordinates. ”

"Without further ado, what about the remuneration we promised earlier? Are you ready? ”

Hardeman was stunned, didn't care about Ji Chen's tone of rejection thousands of miles away, and smiled: "Of course, after hearing that Your Excellency has successfully repelled the sea beast tide, we have already made people ready immediately." ”

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and several teams of soldiers drove more than a dozen wagons from behind, and lifted the tarps on the crates, revealing the rare resources and gold coins piled up inside.

More than a dozen carriages filled with rare resources and gold coins still looked quite bright and shocking, which could be seen from the somewhat straight eyes of the players and private soldiers watching from the sidelines.

However, Ji Chen just glanced at it casually and frowned deeply.

The rare resources and gold coins of these more than ten carriages seem to be a lot, but at most they are only 300,000 units of rare resources and 500,000 gold coins.

This is not in line with the remuneration of one-tenth of their family property that was said before, it can only be said that it is very different.

He endured his patience and said slowly

"This doesn't seem to be quite what we said at the time, how do I remember that there is more than that, please reconfirm it again, Your Excellency Parliament Leader Hardeman."

Hardeman seemed to have expected this, and a slight smile appeared on his face, "Regarding this, Your Excellency, I think the promised remuneration seems a little unreasonable. ”

"You see, when resisting the tide of sea beasts, we dispatched a large number of troops, and also took the initiative to provide a large number of mines and alchemy shells, which we did not say we would provide before."

"Moreover, the meat used to attract sea beasts is all urgently transferred from the material warehouse of Xingyao City, and it is all high-grade meat imported from the Western Continent, which is very valuable."

"These are very expensive things."

"We didn't expect that it would cost so much to defeat the sea beasts, and almost exhaust our wealth."

Hardeman said with a distressed look on his face, as if he had really paid a great price.

Then, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he was puzzled

"Moreover, if it weren't for the huge cost of our soldiers and the soldiers of Starlight City, I'm afraid you wouldn't have succeeded in leading the sea beast tide into the trap and killing and injuring those sea beasts, right?"

"Therefore, we all agree that the value of what you have done is not equal to the reward agreed before, so after our deliberation and calculation, these rare resources and gold coins are your reward this time."

Ji Chen's gaze became cold.

Hardeman's hypocritical and shameless explanation can be regarded as refreshing his three views.

Mines and alchemy shells cost a lot, but according to the experience of the crown of the sea, it is worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins at most, and those meats are all imported high-quality goods, which are obviously some ordinary frozen sea beast meat.

And the latter is even more nonsense, the most important thing to resist the tide of sea beasts is the champion team of the ocean, and the others are secondary, otherwise they can stop the sea beasts with their private army?

It seems that this group of parliamentarians is determined to repay their debts, no wonder they have cooperated so actively before, and they have been transporting mines and ammunition, and they have generously brought in a large amount of meat, and they have already thought of an excuse for defaulting on their debts now.

Good fellow, it's up to him, isn't it?

Hardeman looked at Ji Chen, who was silent, and secretly sneered in his heart, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a touch of imperceptible pride.

Outsider, you and I are still a little tender, can he Hardeman's family property be grabbed so easily?

The other parliamentarians also showed a touch of pride, and their eyes showed a look of banter.

Before agreeing to the conditions, they secretly prepared with two hands, one hand is the current rhetoric, and the eyes of the Ming people know that they are relying on it, but so what?

This is Yangmou!

What gave them the confidence and confidence to say this was that this army, which had been hit hard after the attack of the sea beasts, no longer had enough deterrent power.

At a glance, the current number of this remnant army is only three or four thousand units, and most of them are still injured, and only a small part can exert their complete combat effectiveness.

The private army of the Thirteen Council families numbered as much as thirty-five thousand, fully organized, fully armed, and well-trained.

They're not those brainless, stupid sea beasts who have been led into traps!

In addition, now that the private army has surrounded this remnant army head-on, they have no room to play, and as soon as the artillery fire is fired, they are destined to become the souls of the cannons.

Moreover, thirty-five thousand fought three or four thousand, and there were almost equal numbers of fifth-order troops, and they didn't know how to lose.

The advantage is mine!

If this man is interested, he will obediently take these resources and leave, otherwise they will not be jealous!

Because of the long period of living in the high halls, the centuries-long rule and authority of the Thirteen Council families over the Star Islands made these councillors seem to have lost some concept of the strength of the outside force.

They didn't know that the strength gap between them and the fifth-order class was actually very large.

In addition, the aborigines do not have the ability to see through the panel of the troops, and they rely on their eyes and experience to observe, but it is clear that the councillors have little experience.

So, when they said these words, the players who were watching from the sidelines were shocked.

Damn, are these Starlight City Councilors so brave?

Want to use a group of fourth-order mixed fifth-order private troops to do this army with all fifth-order troops and explosive combat effectiveness?

Their expressions were strange, mixed with some excitement.

When it comes to fighting, they like to watch others fight the most, especially the two "aboriginal" armies.

Just when the players are crying out in their hearts for fear that the world will not be chaotic.

Seeing that Hardeman and the other councillors looked at him, Ji Chen vaguely guessed that this group of fools had probably been in a high position for a long time, and there was no longer a force in his heart.

At the same time, it also cut off the last shred of hope that the bloodshed and death would be paid through negotiations.

Then, he shook his head lightly and said indifferently.

"It seems that only war can bring you to your senses."

As soon as these words came out, Hardeman and the House of Representatives showed incredible eyes.

How dare you fight us!?
