Ji Chen waited quietly for the return of the reconnaissance team, but what he was waiting for was not information about the unknown sea clan army, but a team of lobster guard knights with heavy casualties.

There were only ten lobster guards left in front of him, and there were still large and small injuries on their bodies.

Moreover, the blue excellent lobster guard knight hero is not among them.

One of the Lobster Guard Knights recounted what had happened to them.

When they approached the southern end of the Dead Sea, they did see an army of unknown sea tribes, with tens of thousands of high-level troops, who seemed to be building a camp floating on the surface of the sea.

They planned to get closer to reconnoitre, but they didn't know why they were suddenly discovered, and a large number of high-level Sea Clan troops launched an attack on them, and they suffered heavy losses in the process of escaping, and even the blue excellent lobster guard knight fell under the pursuit of a large number of pursuers.

This time the loss is huge, as normal units can respawn through the Resurrection Altar, but hero units cannot.

This is also the first time that the Crown of the Ocean has lost a hero unit.

Ji Chen's face gradually became solemn.

This army of the unknown sea clan is much stronger than he imagined, according to the description, this army has at least 60,000 people in the size of the fourth-order troops, 30,000 troops in the fifth-order troops, among which there may be a certain number of sixth-order troops!

At least on the bright side, this army is much stronger than the Champions of the Seas, even with Sonia's Sangonomiya army.

At this time, Margaery and the elven elders came here, looked at the wounded lobster guard knight, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"Is this going on?"

"A Sea Clan army from the Dead Sea occupies the route to the Duchy of Maplewood." Ji Chen said, "I think, Your Excellency Margaery, you have to continue to stay in the crown of the ocean for a while. ”

Margaery's face changed and she asked, "So when will the navigation be restored?" ”

Ji Chen shook his head, "I don't know about this, it seems that the Sea Clan army has begun to be stationed, and there is a situation of wanting to occupy it for a long time, and no one knows what they want to do." ”

"If we are not optimistic, we need to eradicate it before we can restore the shipping lanes."

A hint of darkness flashed across Margaery's face, why did they always encounter so many obstacles and troubles along the way, and the road home was a long one.

But she quickly picked herself up and bowed down.

"Your Excellency Ji Chen, if you need help, please speak, we will definitely provide help within our ability."

Ji Chen nodded and didn't refuse, these elves who can survive in the vast ice field for hundreds of thousands of years will definitely have some unique skills, maybe they will come in handy at some time.

Such a bunch of people who have already launched an attack on them, and who do not seem to be well-intentioned beings squatting at the door of their homes, everyone has to be vigilant.

Ji Chen decisively activated the alarm of the second level of the crown of the ocean, and responded to possible attacks at any time.

Meanwhile.

At the southern end of the Dead Sea, a sea wyvern carrying a sea clan hero came to the huge waterspout, knelt down, and buried his head deep in the back of the sea wyvern.

"Master, a dozen or so enemies have fled."

A huge waterspout burst out with a cold cheer.

"Waste, so many soldiers can't even catch a hundred enemies, what use do you want?"

The Sea Clan hero didn't dare to raise his head, and said in a panicked tone.

"Please forgive the master, and I will take the soldiers to pursue and search!"

"Hmph, no need." The giant waterspout snorted coldly, "The most important thing for you to do now is to build my palace and outpost, and don't be distracted by some juniors." ”

"When the construction is completed, this sea area will also be under my rule, and under my shadow, those weak who are hiding will naturally bow down and submit!"

"In addition, building a palace, collecting resources, and maintaining a huge kingdom territory in the future will also require a large number of servant troops, and you send people to the surrounding waters to search for ordinary sea clans and let them serve us."

"I'll give you another chance, if you don't take advantage of it, just cut yourself."

"Yes!"

Watching the sea dragon flutter its wings and fly away, the Wave Lord looked down at the endless, vibrant ocean around him, and a flash of joy flashed in his eyes.

The ocean out there is much better than in the harsh Dead Sea, with an almost endless supply of food, calm currents, and unstoppable power.

Within a few days of his appearance, he felt the beauty of the ocean outside.

Not only are the sea beasts weak and terrifying, but even the decent Sea Tribes don't have them, and the size of the largest Sea Tribes encountered is only five hundred, such a weak force can even be easily solved by a team of a thousand people!

I didn't expect the ocean outside to be so beautiful, it's ten thousand times better than in the dead sea!

Thinking of his terrible life in the Sea of the Dead, a hint of displeasure flashed across the Wave Lord's face.

But it doesn't matter, he is the well-deserved king of the ocean outside, and all the creatures of the sea will crawl at his feet!

The first thing he did after building the palace was to conquer all the seas and islands within a radius of hundreds of miles, establish a kingdom, and announce to the world the arrival of his Lord of the Waves!!

As for the dozen or so lobster tribes who escaped, they were probably just a small tribe of the sea tribe entrenched nearby, and even their leaders were killed, so there was no threat at all.

The Lord of the Waves quickly forgot about this and continued to imagine a better life in the future.

However, what the Lord of the Waves didn't know was that there had been a sea beast tide here not long ago, and all the sea beasts and sea tribes in the nearby waters had migrated to the northern seas, and there was not one of the remaining sea beasts.

Moreover, it is regularly cleaned by the crown of the ocean, so there are naturally fewer large-scale sea tribes.

Crescent Islands.

The inhabitants were in a hurry, and there was a sense of urgency in the air.

Half a day ago, the territory had issued a second-level warning, and everyone knew that a powerful hostile army had appeared in the sea less than a hundred miles away.

Although the crown of the sea has not yet been discovered, once discovered, the rich and beautiful Crescent Islands will definitely be coveted by this army and will be burned to the ground.

However, no one felt fear or wanted to run away, and in the midst of disasters and difficulties, they had the cohesion of all people and the courage to face all difficulties.

Everyone does their part and does their part.

From time to time, they would look at the castle that stood in the center of the realm, and this time was no exception, and all believed that their lord would be able to lead them out of their enemies once again.

"Did the scout team send out?"

Alice nodded.

"Ten teams of ten people have been dispatched, and according to the preliminary information returned, the unknown Sea Clan army has no intention of starting the battle immediately, and seems to be focusing on building that camp, and the area is not small, a kilometer long and wide."

Ji Chen touched his chin and groaned.

"I remember that there didn't seem to be any big islands in that area, at most there were only one or two reefs inhabited by migratory birds, how did they build such a large camp?"

Alice shook her head in bewilderment.

Ji Chen quickly put this issue aside, the most important thing at the moment is to deal with the next threat.

It is conceivable that when the construction of this camp is completed, it is very likely that this unidentified sea army will launch an attack and invasion of the surrounding seas, bringing it under its rule.

And the Crescent Islands, which are less than 100 miles away from the camp, will also be their target.

Rather than waiting for others to point the blade at their necks and sit back and wait for death, it is better to take the initiative and fight for the initiative.

Ji Chen thought about it, thinking about how to face the nearly 100,000 well-trained Sea Clan army, an unknown number of enemy hero units, and an enemy leader who had not yet appeared, but was very likely to have great strength.

Now the advantage of the crown of the ocean is that the enemy is in the light, they are in the shadows, and the other party does not know the existence and strength of the crown of the ocean.

This is mainly an information gap.

In addition, the other party doesn't seem to care about the lobster guard knight hundred-man team sent out before, and even the follow-up chasers have not been sent again, which shows to a certain extent that the other party is quite confident in his own strength and doesn't care about revenge, this may be an opportunity.

】

Advantageous, disadvantageous, exploitable... All kinds of information come together.

Ji Chen's index finger tapped regularly on the table, and in his mind, a rough outline of the plan quietly took shape.

"What day is it?"

Alice was stunned, but still said: "Today is the twenty-ninth day of this month, and in one more day we will enter the next month." ”

Ji Chen nodded, after a month, the resurrection altar will refresh the number of activations, which means that there will be two chances to activate again, and a total of 10,000 troops can be resurrected.

This is a game-breaking point.

At this time, the reconnaissance team came back with another message.

The unidentified Sea Clan army was looking for ordinary Sea Clans, seemingly escorting them to build a camp.

This made Ji Chen's eyes light up suddenly, isn't this a good opportunity.

Immediately commanded.

"Alice, send a few bands of fish-man wanderers around that camp and tell them to pretend to be sea tribes living nearby."

Alice quickly understood Ji Chen's intentions, nodded and said, "I'll do it right away." ”

"Wait, I also sent a hundred lobster guard knights, asked an elite hero to lead the team, and told them to take refuge because they admired their strength."

"Try the other party's attitude first, and if you have the chance, continue to stuff some of the Crown of the Sea's army into it."

"I see." Alice comprehended, glanced at Ji Chen, and saw a touch of cunning in the other party's eyes.

The Guardian Legion's five Fish-Man Rangers Hundred-Man and one Lobster Guard Knight-Hundred-Man Hundred-Man Squad soon set off.

The former pretended to wander around the neighborhood and was caught by the army of the Wave Lords who came out to capture the strong men, and all of them were escorted to build a camp.

The latter, on the other hand, was spotted before he could get close, surrounded by a patrol of fifth-order Seahorse Knights.

"What are you doing!?"

The green elite level lobster guard knight hero led by him immediately looked panicked, and explained according to the words that Ji Chen had taught him before.

"We're here to take refuge in you!"

"Take refuge?"

Looking at the enemy's suspicious look, he continued.

"This place was killed by you when our leader passed by with the hunting party before, and our Qingjia tribe has lost its leader and has no way to survive in this sea area, so I want to come to you!"

Hearing this, the commander of this Seahorse Knight Thousand Men team suddenly realized.

I see, there was indeed a group of lobster sea tribes like this that were killed by them before, and it turned out to be this sea tribe called the Qingjia tribe.

As for saying that they want to come to them, it is not unusual.

The Sea Clan does not have the concept of honor and disgrace of these land races such as human elves, and in the sea of the jungle, it is very normal for a tribal leader to be killed, and his tribe chooses to submit to the stronger one and seek refuge.

Whoever has the big fist will follow, and that's reasonable.

The commander didn't have too many doubts at the moment, these lobster sea clans were also fifth-order cavalry troops, which were much stronger than those servant armies that only had fourth-order.

Since they chose to take refuge because they admired them, there seemed to be little reason to refuse.

"Okay, you go back with us to the master, if the master agrees, you will be one of us!"

In this way, the team of 100 Lobster Guards Knights was brought back and came to the huge waterspout.

The Seahorse Knight Commander said respectfully.

"Master, these lobster knights say they want to come to you!"

The gaze cast in the waterspout was a little suspicious, the other sea tribes saw that they were running, why did you sea tribes send them to the door by themselves?

But after hearing the Seahorse Knight's explanation, the suspicion in his eyes suddenly subsided a lot, "Hahaha, very good, you have made a wise choice!" ”

"You are a fifth-order unit, and I allow you to form an independent hundred-man team and blend into the servant army to fight.

The elite-level lobster guard knight hero hurriedly said in fear: "Thank you for your generosity and tolerance! ”

"Go ahead."

The group of sea clans hurriedly left, and a trace of gloom flashed in the depths of the eyes of the lobster guard knight heroes, saying that they were self-formation, but in fact, they were placed in an extremely marginal position, not much better than those fourth-order servant troops, and they were all cannon fodder-like existences.

Obviously, the wave lord hidden in the waterspout didn't trust them so easily, but this was already expected by the adults, and everything went smoothly according to plan.

The Seahorse Knight Commander looked a little depressed when he lowered his head, and couldn't help but comfort him.

"This is normal, as long as you can kill the enemy and make military achievements later, then you will soon be able to enter our regular army."

"It's the same cavalry class, I'm very optimistic about you!"

Seeing this, the Lobster Guard Knight Hero couldn't help but curse the fool in his heart, and his heart was extremely excited when he thought of the plan that the adults had told him.

It's part of the plan!

At this time, he also pretended to raise some spirits, and nodded quickly, and his eyes seemed to be lit with fighting spirit.

Seeing this, the Seahorse Knight Thousand Commander nodded with some relief, and secretly said that the children could be taught.

When Ji Chen received from the reconnaissance team that the Lobster Guards Knights Hundred had successfully blended into the enemy army, he couldn't help but smile.

The most critical step of the plan was successfully completed!
