The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

In a dark prison.

Shakas' eyes were dull, his lips were dry, and his throat hurt as if he had swallowed a stone.

He looked at the other two congressmen who were holding the cell door open and looking out. There was no sparkle in their eyes, and their hearts were gradually filled with despair.

Under the terrifying spell bombing, only three of them were left in the Star City Council.

He still clearly remembered how the bodies of Hardman and other congressmen were torn apart under the overwhelming rain of spells and arrows, and how fragile their proud private army was in front of that army. Beheaded like a sea beast.

Thinking of these memories, a look of pain flashed in Shakas's eyes.

At this time, he felt extremely regretful in his heart, regretting why he didn't readily hand over the reward of one-tenth of the family property, but was led by that idiot Hardman to refuse the payment.

Now, not only were people imprisoned here, but the Xingyao Islands, which had been in operation for hundreds of years, were also occupied. He had nothing left, and he didn't even know if he could save his life.

However, it has been a full day since they were imprisoned here, and the man seemed to have forgotten them, leaving them here like a pile of garbage. No one came to guard them, and no food was delivered.

Not a drop of water came in all day.

No matter how much they screamed, no one paid attention, and only their voices echoed for a long time in this dark and deserted prison.

They felt uneasy in their hearts, fearing that the terrifying Sea Clan soldiers would come in the next second and pull them out and execute them.

Physical hunger and constant mental oppression have brought them to their physical limits.

At this time, a few footsteps suddenly came from outside, echoing dullly in the prison.

The three people's faces instantly turned pale.

To them, this sounds like the sound of hell and death, and the fear in their hearts rises like a tide, about to drown them.

Several figures appeared outside the cell one after another.

Shakas suppressed his fear and stared. The leader was wearing a mask. The deep eyes behind the mask were like stars, and seemed to have the power to see through anything in the world.

This look is like a ruthless king, who can bring death and destruction at any time if he wants to.

The leading man said slowly.

"Member of Star City, Shakas?"

Shakas recognized this man as the leader of that army, his throat rolled up, and he swallowed.

He wanted to curse loudly to show the courage and honor of one of the Thirteen Council families who had ruled the Star Islands for hundreds of years, and then he was killed by him with courage.

But at this moment, he felt like he couldn't say anything in front of these eyes.

I even felt that my body was constantly shaking.

at last.

He surrendered, slowly kneeling on the ground with his legs, pressing his forehead on the wet floor, and answered in the most humble manner.

"I am, my lord."

Ji Chen looked at Xia Kas, who was kneeling directly in front of him, with a trace of surprise in his eyes.

Then he looked at the other two congressmen, "Congressman Karen, Congressman Herman?"

The two of them looked at Shakas, who was kneeling on the ground motionless, and then thought of Hardman, who had no body left in the spell explosion. They gritted their teeth and knelt down, "Yes, sir."

After receiving their answers, Ji Chen nodded slightly.

"Do you know what crimes you committed before?"

"We should not have failed to fulfill our established promises, but we also tried to use force to force you to surrender, and even attempted to kill you. We are guilty."

Shakas said without hesitation, so fast that the other two councilors were stunned.

Good guy, have you already thought about this?

What a greedy guy!

Scolding after scolding, complaining after complaining, they were not far behind in detailing their crimes.

"I shouldn't be coveting that reward, I'm guilty."

"It is our biggest sin to offend you, sir!"

Seeing their straightforward confessions, Ji Chen, who wanted to find trouble, couldn't find anything to do, and all the drafts he had prepared in his mind were invalidated.

After thinking about it, I decided not to deal with these nonsense.

He simply said it directly.

"I have occupied the Shining Star Islands, but I won't spend too much energy here now, so I need someone who is familiar with it to help me manage it."

When Karen and Herman heard this, they quickly understood what Ji Chen meant.

As long as they can survive and regain their previous power, they are willing to pay any price.

He said quickly.

"We are willing to do things for you, sir. I hope you can give us a chance to make up for our previous crimes."

Ji Chen looked at them in turn, and finally passed over Xakas, who was silent.

Speak unhurriedly.

"But, I want you to sign a master-servant contract."

Master-servant contract! ?

A look of hesitation flashed across the faces of Karen and Herman.

They naturally know about this kind of contract. After signing, the soul of the servant will be controlled by the master, and the servant's life will no longer belong to them.

Unless the owner takes the initiative to terminate it, the contract will exist forever.

This made it difficult for them, who were originally high and high as members of parliament, to accept that after all, they had also migrated from the mainland. How could nobles with a long history be servants to others?

Ji Chen looked at their expressions and shook his head secretly.

Sure enough, this kind of thing still cannot be left to these people.

"I do!"

At this time, Shakas, who had been silent, raised his head and said seriously.

Ji Chen squinted his eyes, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

Without wasting any time, he stretched out his index finger and drew in the air. As his fingertips moved, a floating contract text gradually appeared.

With a slight push from his hand, he flew to Shakas.

The latter did not hesitate at all and immediately signed his name on the contract.

The words containing the rules dissipated in the air, and Shakas felt that there was some kind of connection between himself and Ji, and a sense of awe and surrender inexplicably rose from the depths of his soul.

All it takes is one thought from the other party and his soul will dissipate in an instant.

Shakas lowered his head again and said with great respect: "Thank you for your forgiveness, sir. I will do my best to help you control the entire Xingyao Islands."

Ji Chen nodded, "Get up."

Shakas looked calm for a moment, then stood up with his arms raised, but his waist was still bent, his face full of respect and awe.

Karen and Herman were dumbfounded now. They didn't expect Shakas to agree so decisively. Didn't he have any noble honor?

Having been in high positions for a long time, they understand very well that if a person has no use value, then the price of his life will be reduced to the lowest.

In short, for Ji Chen, they seemed to have no value in continuing to live.

For a moment, Karen and Herman felt as if a "danger" appeared above their heads.

"My lord, I am willing too!"

"Please give us another chance, we are willing to sign a master-servant contract!"

Ji Chen looked at the two people who were bewildered, without any emotion in his eyes, and motioned to the Naga guards following him to get rid of them.

Seeing this scene, Karen and Herman turned pale and collapsed on the ground.

These sea warriors holding double blades turned into life-seeking demons before their eyes.

"Sir, I think we can spare their lives."

But at this time, a voice seemed to come from outside the world, making them feel like they had been granted amnesty.

Ji Chen frowned, looked at Shakas who was kneeling again, and slowly raised his hand to ask the Naga guard who was acting as the executioner to stop.

"Say your reasons, I won't keep anyone worthless."

Shakas felt the pressure like a mountain, took a deep breath, and tried to speak as smoothly and concisely as possible.

"The Thirteen Council families have occupied the Star Glory Islands for hundreds of years, and have gradually formed and cultivated their own industries."

"For example, my affiliated Yaoguang Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the Xingyao Islands. It controls the largest trade fleet here and has a complete internal and external trade system. Through the Yaoguang Chamber of Commerce's fleet and a large number of skilled manpower, we can trade as quickly as possible. It can import goods from the Western Continent at a high speed, and of course it can also export goods to the Western Continent.”

"In addition, the Yaoguang Chamber of Commerce also has multiple offices in coastal cities in the Western Continent. In addition to handling business affairs, it also collects various news and intelligence."

Ji Chen's interest increased greatly, his brows relaxed slightly, "Continue talking."

Seeing that his tone had softened, Shakas swallowed and continued.

"Karen is the largest agricultural product grower in the Jewel Islands. It also owns a number of large-scale food processing plants, which can produce and process a large amount of food, almost supporting the food supply of the entire Star Island."

"And Herman owns a large shipyard. He is the only one among the Thirteen Council families that has the ability to manufacture steel battleships. He has a lot of reserves of alchemical technology, and he also has a large alchemical artillery factory that can manufacture all kinds of steel warships. Alchemical artillery and alchemical cannonballs.”

"So, instead of killing them, it is better to give them another chance to redeem themselves and let them use these industries and advantages to work for you. This way, sir, you can better control the Xingyao Islands and obtain greater benefits."

"After all, a person who is familiar with these matters is more valuable."

After saying that, Xia Kas looked at Ji Chen carefully, feeling a little nervous.

But when he saw a hint of approval on his face, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and his heart jumped up.

Ji Chen had to admit that these words of Xakas really convinced him.

At the same time, he did not expect that these parliamentary families did have a lot of merits.

For example, the Yaoguang Chamber of Commerce in Shakas.

Although Ocean Crown has attracted experienced businessmen like Raymond, its business and trade foundation is still too weak. If a chamber of commerce that is mature and complete in all aspects joins, it will obviously be able to better export Ocean Crown. goods and import them to the untouched Western Continent.

The cultivation and processing of agricultural products in Karen are also very good. Food is the most important thing for the people. Food, an indispensable thing in daily life, often has the greatest market demand and is also of great use.

The thing that caught his attention the most was Hermann. He didn't expect that its shipyard could manufacture steel battleships, which he had always dreamed of.

If the Crown of the Ocean wants to face increasingly powerful enemies in the future, this product, which contains the crystallization of the world's alchemical technology and can sail across the ocean, is naturally indispensable.

"Very well, I'll give you another chance."

Ji Chen did not hesitate and drew out two more master-servant contracts and pushed them in front of the two of them.

This time, Karen and Herman signed their names without any hesitation.

The contract was concluded, and a look of loneliness flashed across their faces, but they soon felt relieved.

Although it is a bit awkward to be a servant-like existence, it is already a good thing to survive. What's more, according to Ji Chen's intention, they can still take control of their own property, but there is one more person who needs to surrender. Just people.

Seeing that the contract was signed, the three remaining members of the Star City Council also surrendered, and Ji Chen no longer wasted time.

He led the three people out of the prison and came to the parliament hall.

He immediately gave his decree to the three of them.

"Starting today, the Star City Council will be dissolved and replaced by the Office of Ocean Crown's Star Islands. However, the highest power belongs to Ocean Crown, and the supreme ruler is me, Ji Chen."

"In addition to your own properties, during this period, the three of you will take control of the properties of other dead members as soon as possible and coordinate various resources."

"All the ordinary armies and private armies of Star City have been disbanded. They need to go through several rounds of assessments before they can join the newly established Guards of the Star Islands. During this period, the defense work will be handed over to the Coral Palace Army. Oh, by the way. , Coral Palace is an affiliated force of Ocean Crown.”

"You don't have to worry about those sea beast corpses. The Glory Lords will be responsible for disposing of them. For the Glory Lords, we will maintain the previous policy and not interfere too much. They only need to abide by the order here."

"The buildings and facilities destroyed by sea monsters on the southern islands of the archipelago will also be repaired."

"In addition, you need to spread the news that the Shining Star Islands has successfully defeated the sea monster tide. The merchants here need to inject fresh blood."

"By the way, the slums in Xingyao City should be demolished and rebuilt as soon as possible. The food in the warehouse should not be left to stink. Some of it should be allocated to help the residents, so that they can at least have warm homes and full stomachs."

Government orders, large and small, were spoken one after another. The number was so large that the three of them had their heads buzzing.

But they were also members of parliament before and had certain administrative abilities, so they can now understand the meaning of these decrees.

"I understand, we will get started as soon as possible."

Shakas said respectfully, but with some confusion on his face, "Sir, I have a question."

"explain."

"The name of your territory is Ocean Crown? Why does it sound like the names of those glorious lords?"

Ji Chen looked at him strangely, "Didn't I say that I was the Lord of Glory? Well, it seems that I certainly didn't."

The eyes of the three Shakas were dull, and their faces were full of disbelief.

There was a storm in my heart.

Your Excellency is the Lord of Glory! ?

How can it be!
