The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

There is an underground cavity buried thousands of meters deep, filled with hot magma, and absolute high temperatures dominate the scene.

In such an environment, no living thing can survive here.

However.

In the center of the overflowing magma cavity, a body as huge as a mountain curled up.

The antler-like crystal spikes exude a luster that even magma cannot cover up.

The six wings that wrap around the body are edged with boundless sharpness, demonstrating the master's powerful fighting prowess.

Under the glaze-like crystal scales, there are blood vessels like the veins of leaves. The blood vessels extend in all directions. The blood finally gathers into the huge heart, and with the beats of the blood, it is sent to the whole body.

It is not difficult to see that this unknown creature is dormant or in a deep sleep.

But suddenly, according to the rules, the slow-beating heart suddenly beat, and the beating drove huge energy out of the body, along with the magma in the huge cavity, and shot upward towards countless upward magma flows.

Crown of the Ocean.

Lord's Mansion.

"Did last night's earthquake cause collapse in the underground lizard kingdom and kobold cave?"

"Sir, I have not received any reports yet, but I have asked them to step up investigation."

Hearing what Velus said, Ji Chen nodded.

Last night, when everyone was sleeping soundly.

The shaking on the top of the mountain happened again that day, but just like last time, there was no movement after shaking once.

Therefore, Ji Chen, who realized that the last shock was not an accident, sent troops overnight to the underground lizardman kingdom to see if there was anything wrong there.

According to the news, the lizard people did not notice anything unusual except that they also felt the vibration.

But if there is any abnormality, the magma river flowing through the underground has become slightly more active.

Ji Chen was also confused about this.

In desperation, the lizardmen could only send people to station at the edge of the magma river, always paying attention to anomalies to see if there were signs of a volcanic eruption.

After conquering the Lizard Kingdom in the past few days, Ji Chen knew that the four major Lizard Kingdoms were located under the entire Crescent Islands, with one part under the islands and the other part under the ocean.

Combined with the magma rivers all over the ground, it can be said that most of the islands in the Crescent Islands were created due to volcanic eruptions.

If left alone, if the volcano erupts again one day, not only will the underground lizards be destroyed in an instant, but even the Crescent Islands will be destroyed.

All Ji Chen can do now is give an early warning. After all, if there is a disaster like a volcanic eruption that cannot be stopped by humans, he can only run away with his people when he sees it.

However, according to the thousands of years of lizard people's history, this volcano has fallen into dormancy. As long as there is no external influence, it is estimated that it will not explode on its own.

Thinking of this, Ji Chen seemed to have remembered something and asked.

"How is the progress of Ilona now?"

"Already joined. Ilona's medicine refining skills are the most powerful person I have ever seen in my life. Well, the most powerful orc. The healing potions she prepares can greatly speed up the healing of injuries."

"Those injured orcs were able to recover so quickly, largely because of the medicine."

Velus said with some admiration on his face: "In addition to healing potions, Ilona will also prepare dozens of potions such as violent potions, breathing potions, blindness potions, etc. As long as the materials are enough, various types of potions can be produced continuously. Potion.”

"Sir, where did you find this? It's like you found a treasure!"

Ji Chen smiled, would you believe me when I said I met him on the way back?

That's right, Ilona is not a combat hero, but the first "technical" talent in Ocean Crown, an expert alchemist who is good at blending various potions.

【Ilona (Hero)】

[Race]: Half-orc

[Sub-professional]: Expert Alchemist

[Level]: 20

[Current level]: Purple (rare level)

[Potential]: Purple (rare level)

[Skill]: Potion Mixing (purple skill, able to mix various potions)

Material identification (purple skill, able to keenly identify various materials)

Talent creation (purple skills, through long-term study, you can develop new potions)

Absolute loyalty (purple skill, absolute loyalty to the lord until death)

[This is a humanoid female half-orc hero that rarely appears among half-orcs, an alchemist that is rare to appear among millions of half-orcs, and an almost extinct expert level alchemist]

Judging from the description, we can know how incredible it is for an expert alchemist to appear among half-orcs with well-developed limbs, simple minds, and an average IQ of no more than 50.

But such a "talent" happened to be met by Ji Chen accidentally, and he was successfully abducted back.

In order to be able to bring out the talents of this expert alchemist who is ten times stronger than the senior alchemist.

Ji Chen specially ordered to build an exclusive medicine refining workshop for her, and also mobilized a large number of lizards and kobolds to search for various herbal materials on the ground and underground.

The first batch of therapeutic potions prepared were immediately used on the orcs who had been injured a lot in this battle.

Obviously, excellent results were produced.

It’s true that she put so much thought into making Ilona surrender to her.

Well, what should I reward?

Um! Let’s reward her well tonight!

"Okay, go do your thing."

After sending Velus away, Ji Chen stood up and stretched, looking comfortable.

After ending the underground lizardman kingdom, Ocean Crown entered a period of stable development.

Various buildings are rising every day, and the size of the residential area on the east side of the Lord's Mansion has expanded from the twenty or thirty houses at that time to nearly two hundred houses.

At first glance, the houses are neatly arranged and hidden among the lush trees and vegetation, giving it the feeling of a villa area.

On the other side, there is a building area for military recruitment camps surrounded by walls. Dozens of recruitment camps stand within the walls, which are divided into military areas.

On the tidal flat on the east side of the Crown of the Ocean, there are nearly fifty warships of various types moored in front and behind the water village. The ship buildings are shadowy and the sheng flags block out the sun. It is so spectacular.

Every day, more than ten warships patrol around the Crescent Islands and within the storm waters to ensure safety.

The commercial port not far from Shuizhai was completely completed two days ago.

This commercial port can berth up to hundreds of merchant ships. There are more than 30 mechanical cranes standing on the pier, which can easily lift heavy cargo for loading and unloading.

I believe that in the not-too-distant future, this place will be filled with merchant ships from all over the world and become as prosperous as Silver Port.

The sea rice planting area located a few kilometers west of the territory has been cultivated through the hard work of the original indigenous tribes, and now the planting area has reached thousands of acres.

At first glance, there is a field of green rice ears, gently swaying with the breeze, which makes people feel happy.

The so-called thousand acres of fertile land is no better than this.

From the underground lizard world and the kobold cave, ores, fluorescent mushrooms and various weapons and equipment are being transported continuously, and they are piling up in the warehouse.

Part of these will be used for territorial consumption, and the other part will wait until Raymond returns, then transport them out and sell them in exchange for needed resources.

After several previous events, Ocean Crown gained a large labor force and is now developing rapidly in all aspects.

Every day looks different, it can be said that it changes with each passing day.

Ji Chen casually opened the territory panel. He didn't know when the prosperity level had reached 170,000 points, and he had already met the conditions for being upgraded to a "city".

Seeing this, he did not hesitate and chose to upgrade his territory.

The tens of thousands of resources required for upgrading are naturally child's play for him now, and he spends them without blinking an eye.

Soon, after clicking the upgrade button five times in succession, a system prompt popped up.

"Ding~ The territory level has been successfully increased (level 5 town → level 1 city)."

"Ding~ The city-level building has been unlocked."

After being promoted to the state city, the appearance of the lord's mansion also changed dramatically.

It has transformed from a two-story attic into a four-story red-roofed and white-walled castle with main and auxiliary buildings. It has strong protective capabilities but is also gorgeous.

There are several rooms on each floor, including living rooms, dining rooms, and storage rooms.

Ji Chen strolled around casually, showing a satisfied look.

This is the lord's mansion where a lord should live.

Then he opened the panel and checked the current territory area.

The area of ​​a level 1 state city is three kilometers long and wide, totaling nine square kilometers, which is 90,000 square meters of land.

Not too big, not too small.

Not even one-tenth of the main island is covered.

Ji Chen was a little dissatisfied and planned to upgrade it again, directly upgrading it to level 5.

This time he was a little more satisfied. The area of ​​the level 5 city was a square ten kilometers long and wide, totaling one hundred square kilometers.

But it is worth mentioning that because the Crown of the Ocean is originally located on the southeast side of the main island, nearly three-fifths of the 100 square kilometers is located in the sea, and the main island is only covered by about 40 square kilometers.

This is one of the pain points of the island-type territory. The land included in the upgrade may be less than half of the land-type territory.

Just when Ji Chen was thinking about whether to go directly to the giant city.

There was a commotion outside.

"Unknown enemies were found in the sea area! Be alert!"

Ji Chen looked stern, turned off the panel and walked out immediately.

There was no look of panic on the faces of the residents, and they were still doing their jobs.

They knew that the lord and the army of the territory would protect them from any harm.

When they saw Ji Chen coming out, they all still saluted and greeted him.

"grown ups."

"Thank you for your hard work, sir"

Ji Chen nodded and checked the detection map of the early warning lighthouse.

On the radar-like detection map, a red dot like a ship appeared in the northeast of the Crescent Islands, traveling extremely slowly on the sea.

Two of our own warships are rushing at full speed.

Ji Chen frowned as he looked at the red dots on the reconnaissance map, which represented unfamiliar ships, sailing along the edge of the storm.

Doesn't it look like he's an enemy?

On the contrary, it was like a ship that accidentally entered this place, filled with a sense of confusion.

at this time.

Northeastern waters of Crescent Islands.

An extremely damaged battleship was sailing crookedly on the sea.

Two of the three masts were broken, the remaining one was also scarred, and the sails had several big holes.

On the messy deck, sailors were working hard to repair the damaged hull and rescue the wounded.

The hull was full of traces of being bombarded by artillery shells, and some were even directly penetrated.

A fatal gap in the stern of the ship caused the hull to be continuously flooded with seawater, causing the entire ship to tilt backwards. No matter how much the damage control on the ship was rescued, it could not prevent the entry of seawater.

The sinking of this ship is only a matter of time.

"Your Excellency, Captain, what is the current situation of the Radiant Envoy? Can it still hold on?"

The captain looked at the girl in front of him with the golden hair that was the hallmark of women from the Grand Ducal Family of the Principality of Reinhardt, and said with a respectful and polite expression.

"Your Highness, the current situation of the Glorious Envoy is not optimistic. The hull is severely damaged and more than 80% of the power has been lost. Especially the damage to the stern has led to serious water intrusion."

"Based on my years of sailing experience, damage like this is irreparable."

"How is that possible?" the girl said with a sad expression. "We need to return to the principality and deliver the news we have received in time. Otherwise, if the conspiracy succeeds, the principality will be in an extremely passive position."

"Indeed." The captain nodded in agreement, "It is precisely because of this that if we want to send the news back, we must abandon the ship now."

"Therefore, I suggest that Your Highness should board the rescue boat immediately, otherwise once the Radiant Envoy enters the sinking stage, the vortex generated by it will bring danger to you."

"But there are still so many brave sailors and guards who are still rescuing the Glorious Envoy. The wounded who were injured in the battle cannot be ignored, right?"

"As the envoy of the principality, how can I abandon you and be the first to board the rescue boat and escape?"

"This is not an escape. Your Highness has a distinguished status and is also the best deliverer of this news. You cannot allow any damage, so..."

"I can understand your thoughts, but as a member of the Grand Duke's family of the Principality of Reinhardt, you should not abandon your subjects and run away alone. This is the ancestral motto of the Valencia family, and it is also my insistence."

Seeing the solemnity and stubbornness in the girl's eyes, the captain sighed inwardly, knowing that he could not convince His Highness.

But it is precisely because of this that all the sailors and guards on board the Glorious Envoy follow His Highness so wholeheartedly.

Everyone on the ship is willing to lay down their lives for His Highness.

"In that case, let's put down the boat as soon as possible and let the sailors, guards, and your highness's maids get on board. Time is very tight."

For this mission, the principality specially selected a group of highly loyal and well-trained sailors and guards to accompany them.

So when the order was given to abandon ship, everyone acted quickly, lowered the boat on the deck, and boarded the boat in an orderly manner.

The girl, the captain and the captain of the guard were the last people to board the boat.

after an hour.

More than a dozen small boats floated on the sea, looking at the Glorious Envoy sinking slowly in the distance.

"Alas." Looking at this scene, the captain's resolute face couldn't help but reveal a look of worry.

"Your Excellency, Captain, we have successfully boarded the ship, and those pursuing us will most likely think that we have sunk in the storm, so what are you still worried about?"

"Is it because of the sinking of the Glory Envoy? Well, this is indeed something worth worrying and sad about. After all, she has been with you for many years."

"I'm not worried about the sinking of the Radiant Envoy." The captain shook his head and looked around the sea. "I'm worried about this sea area."

"There have always been strange rumors in the Stormy Sea. I'm afraid that something will happen here, something we can't control."

"Look at the distance, you see, there is a boat!"

Before he finished speaking, the sailors suddenly exclaimed.

The captain and the girl looked into the distance, and saw two fully armed warships approaching them on the sea.

The captain fell silent.

"Well, this is not a bad thing. At least someone will come to save us, right?" The girl was very optimistic and said with a smile.

The captain sighed again.

In such a strange and dangerous sea area, he really couldn't imagine that anyone would come to save them.

However, looking at the sail patterns of those two ships, they shouldn't be pursuers?
