Chapter 267: Talent, Huge Resources, "Recognition" as a Dog
At this time, the three of them stayed in place like a thunderbolt from the blue.
That's impossible!
How could the Lord of Glory have such an extremely powerful army in just a few months.
They saw that this army had resisted hundreds of thousands of sea beasts, and had even smashed the armed forces of the Star Islands to the ground.
You tell them it's a glory lord!?
"What, surprised?" Ji Chen glanced at them.
Shakas hurriedly said: "No matter what identity the adult is, I will always be loyal. ”
Just as the other two wanted to say words of loyalty, Ji Chen waved his hand, "Don't shoot these meaningless sycophants anymore, what I need is what you do and not say." ”
"The master of skill has always rewarded and punished clearly, and if there is merit, he will be rewarded, and if he has done wrong, he will be punished."
"As long as you can do what I tell you to do, everything will be easy to say."
The three of them hurriedly saluted in response, but there were some thoughts in their hearts.
It seems that the lord they were "forced" to be loyal to was not only extremely powerful, but also seemed to be an ambitious man.
Aside from the somewhat awful master-servant contract, he didn't mistreat them, and even put them in charge of the entire Starry Islands' property and resources that they had never owned before.
Circumstance... Doesn't seem bad?
Ji Chen ignored the three of them who had a storm of thoughts, and after dropping a sentence for them to do a good job, he left on his own.
In the large dome hall, only they were left staring at each other.
Shakas looked around and looked at the council hall, which had not changed much, and it felt like a world away from home.
Just a few days ago, they were sitting high on the ground, suits and leather shoes, talking and laughing to decide the fate of many people in the Starry Islands, and controlling the highest power.
Now I have returned to this place again, but I have become a slave of others, and my life is at the mercy of others.
"I didn't expect us to be reduced to such a day." Cullen sighed, "Do we count this as luring wolves into the house?" The tide of sea beasts was blocked, but it did not keep the wealth, and even lost the entire Star Islands. ”
"It's all to blame for that idiot Hardeman, if it weren't for his instigation, he wouldn't have become what he is now, and being killed by a spell would be cheap!" Herman grumbled as he smacked on the ground.
"Hey, now we can only accept our fate, the contract made by a legendary-level powerhouse is not something we can resist... Shakcas, what do you think. ”
Shakas didn't answer, just glanced at them coldly, and scolded: "We should be loyal to Lord Ji Chen, do more things instead of complaining here secretly, loyalty is the highest quality." ”
Karen and Herman looked stunned, a little annoyed.
You, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, got into the role so quickly!?
How did you not know that you were born with the talent to be a dog!?
The three of them parted unhappily.
Shakas walked out with a cold face, and his face softened slightly.
He looked sideways at the two who were still in the hall, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The two fools, now that they know that they have come to this point, they dare to complain secretly behind their backs, and even continue to maintain the original relationship, is this for fear that the adult's knife will not be sharp?
If you are so stupid, then the adults will only believe him alone and reject you, and then he will be under one person and above ten thousand people in the Starry Islands, and it will feel good.
Thinking like this, Shakas was in a slightly better mood and left with his hands behind his back.
...
Halfway up the mountainside.
The manor that originally belonged to a certain councilor in Star Shine City, in the previous battle, this councilor died under the random arrows, and this vast and beautiful manor naturally belonged to the crown of the ocean trophy and was owned by the crown of the ocean.
Now it is temporarily used as Ji Chen's temporary office.
In a luxurious room.
Ji Chen sat at his desk, leaning on the back of a soft chair made of unknown sea beast fur, listening to Alice's report.
Since Alice followed Ji Chen, she has been in constant contact with various jobs, and she has quite good administrative skills while having strong personal strength.
Velus and the others are now far away in the Crescent Islands, so Alice will be the temporary secretary for the time being.
"Except for Shakass, Karen and Herman, all the materials in the treasury of the other ten council families have already begun to be counted, but due to the number and messy problems, it will not be possible to complete the entire inventory work for a while, and it will take several days."
"However, the item of rare resources has been counted first, and in terms of rare resources that you are most concerned about, there are a total of four million units of rare resources."
"It's a little bit less." Ji Chen frowned and shook his head.
"Well, that's true." Alice nodded in agreement, like a neat secretary, "The Thirteen Council families and the Star Islands don't have much demand for rare resources, and most of the domestic and foreign trade is made with gold coins as the transaction currency. ”
"So there aren't many rare resources compared to other things, but the amount of gold coins is extremely considerable."
"That level of quantity..." Alice remembered the treasury she had seen before storing gold coins, and used an analogy, "The piles are as tall and magnificent as a mountain of rocks under the sea." ”
"Oh? How many are there?"
"It is expected to start with more than 30 million gold coins, and the specific number is about 30 million ~ 33 million."
Hiss~ Ji Chen gasped, and a touch of surprise appeared on his face.
30 million gold coins, which is enough to arm several armies of the same size as the private army of the councillors, I really don't know why these councillors like to hide the gold coins so much, and not take them out to strengthen the army or build.
"But these are just a few of the Thirteen Council families, and those councilors have made two preparations in the face of the sea beast tide, one is to ask us to fight against it,
On the other hand, they loaded most of their easy-to-carry wealth, such as gold coins, as well as family scrolls and henchmen, into their private fleets in advance, and secretly left the Star Islands together before the tide of sea beasts came. ”
"Except for the fleet of the three Shakas who are now returning home, the private fleets of the other councilors should have completely left the nearby waters, and they heard the news that the Star Islands have changed hands, and it is estimated that they will not return, we want to find them on such a vast ocean, it is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack."
Ji Chen nodded, he had already learned about the last point from Shakas, which had to be said to be a great loss.
The more detailed preparation of Hardeman's councillors was that they had loaded most of their wealth and family rolls out of their ships in advance, in fact, in order to prevent the crown of the sea from not blocking the tide of sea beasts, so that they would have enough capital to make a comeback.
As for the inhabitants of the Shining Islands?
Shakas reported that Hardeman had used the inhabitants as part of his evacuation plan to attract the attention of the sea beast tide so that they would have enough time to escape.
Once the Sea Beast Tide has completely passed through the Shining Isles, they will return again and take over the supremacy here.
They don't particularly care about the population, the population is the least valuable in this world, as long as there is enough money, a large number of laborers can be migrated every minute.
In this way, they don't have much to lose except for the loss of a large number of buildings, and as long as they come back, the Thirteen Council families will still be the supreme rulers here!
However, these private fleets, loaded with a great deal of wealth but not enough armed forces, were a piece of fragrant fat meat that anyone coveted in the middle of the ocean, and they were soon eaten up.
Therefore, he is not too worried that these family scrolls and henchmen will come back to seek revenge, and even if they do, the crown of the sea will only give them the same fate as those councillors - death and destruction.
Your father can't beat me, just because you sons and grandsons still want to beat him?
Putting these thoughts aside, Ji Chen motioned for Alice to continue.
Wait until an hour later, and then report on the big and small things.
Rao is Alice, who is a siren, and she can't help but breathe a sigh of relief when it ends.
Human beings are not a very pleasant thing for her, and she still prefers to simply fight the enemy.
Ji Chen looked at her relieved look, and felt a little distressed in his heart, but he just came to her side and touched her little head.
"I've wronged you, you won't have to do this when Willus sends someone over."
Alice shook her head lightly and looked at Ji Chen seriously: "My lord, as long as you need it, I am willing to do it for you." ”
Ji Chen was speechless about this, and could only include her in comfort.
But I had already begun to wonder if it was right to let such a pure bloodline born in the ocean be contaminated with these disgusting and coppery things of human beings.
They already live in the boundless ocean, singing freely and freely, and they don't have to pay attention to it.
It can be said that Alice, who was originally a blank sheet of paper, is being stained by him with various colors.
After thinking about it, Ji Chen felt that he seemed to be a little hypocritical.
Although Alice had gained allegiance through the potion, she felt that after such a long period of contact and communication, Alice and him had more than just a relationship of allegiance, but a more and deeper connection.
Alice "approves" him and is willing to do so much.
In the same way, many of the inhabitants of the crown of the sea, aliens, and even some outsiders like Raymond were willing to follow behind him, acknowledging the order and rules he had established.
Because they believe that Ji Chen can lead them to a brighter life, bring a better life, and even create a new era.
This is the reason why Alice and many others are willing to charge for him.
Unconsciously, he gradually took on the expectations of many on his shoulders.
Inexplicably, Ji Chen felt more sense of belonging to this world, and gradually no longer regarded it as an extremely realistic game world like other players.
The people and things here have long been inseparable from him.
Alice, who keenly felt the changes in Ji Chen's body, just glanced sideways slightly, and leaned herself into the warm chest again.
No matter what the world is like, she will always be by the side of adults.
The sea breeze is slightly cool.
Ji Chen stood on the edge of the harbor, looking at the bright moonlit sea.
Shakas and the others waited beside him with respectful expressions.
They were preparing to meet the army of Sangonomiya from thousands of miles away from the Crescent Islands.
As a force and colleague affiliated with the Crown of the Sea, and the Coral Palace army was about to take over the defense of the Star Islands, they felt the need to make contact.
However, when they saw the Sea Clan army, which numbered as many as ten thousand people, each of which exuded a much more powerful than the Councilor's private army, their faces couldn't help but show a hint of shock, and they all saw the look of shock in each other's eyes.
Even a subsidiary force has such a powerful army, how strong is the Crown of the Sea!?
When the Coral Palace army came to the near shore, a slender figure jumped onto the dock from the sea, and quickly came to the front and knelt down on one knee with a respectful expression.
"My lord, Sonia has come with 10,000 troops from the Sango Palace."
This person is none other than the Lord of Coral, Sonia.
A few days ago, when she received Ji Chen's request for her to lead the army out of the Great Fluorescent Sea and go to the Starry Islands, she was extremely happy.
This represents the Great Fluorescent Sea, and after thousands of years, another Great Fluorescent Sea Clan has finally arrived in the main world, and she can finally get what she wants.
In addition to being delighted, she immediately counted the army and rushed here overnight without a trace of disappointment.
"Get up, didn't I say you just need to bow normally?" Ji Chen smiled and stretched out to help her up, "I didn't encounter any accidents along the way." ”
Sonia stood up flattered and shook her head, "We didn't have any accidents, we just encountered scattered sea beasts on the road, and we quickly dealt with them. ”
"I'm a little surprised, though, the Overworld doesn't seem to be as much as I thought..."
"So dangerous?" Ji Chen took over and looked at the uniform Coral Palace army on the sea, "With the strength of the Coral Palace army, it is indeed a very good army. ”
"However, the middle ocean is many times wider than the Great Fluorescent Sea, and there are some very hidden horrors in it, so don't let your guard down."
"I see." Sonia replied submissively.
Ji Chen clapped his palms, "Okay, let's start patrolling as soon as possible now, many sea beasts are attacking the islands again." ”
"But be careful, you don't need to get close to the territory of other Glory Lords, and don't take the initiative to conflict with them."
"Yes!"
With an order, the 10,000 Sango Palace troops divided into several teams and began to patrol around the island where Star City was located, cleaning up scattered sea beasts.
The Sango Palace army quickly took over the defense of the entire Shining Isles, much to the surprise of many players when they appeared everywhere.
When he heard that this was a subordinate army under the command of the aboriginal who had occupied the Star Islands, he was immediately speechless.
His grandmother's, although this army is not as strong as the one at the beginning, but it is better because there are enough of them, and it looks very intimidating.
The masked aborigine, with so many troops, must be a "high-level aborigine".
To this day, they still think that Ji Chen is a native.
