The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

The first thing to do when returning to Ocean Crown is to resurrect all the troops that were killed previously, and then recruit all the troops accumulated in the past three weeks.

"Ding~ It consumes 3.813 million units of rare resources and recruits a total of 3018 units of troops."

The current number of main arms is:

Water Elf Archer, level 5, 1 star, 700 pieces.

Cancer Guard, level 5, 1 star, 700 pieces.

Lobster Guards Knight, level 5, 1 star, 1670 pieces.

Silver Sea Elf, level 5, 2 stars, 1788 pieces.

Naga Guard, level 5, 3 stars, 1660 pieces.

Dragon Blood Murloc, level 5, 3 stars, 1680 pieces.

Dragon Horn Catfish, level 5, 4 stars, 560 pieces.

Tyrannical Mosasaurus, level 5, 5 stars, 90 pieces.

Total 8848.

This wave of recruitment consumed nearly four million units of rare resources, making the number of Ocean Crown's main armies almost equal to that of ten thousand troops.

What’s even more frightening is that unlike some other players who recruit low-level troops to reach a team of ten thousand people, the quality of his army is simply terrifying, with all fifth-level troops.

The strength of this army is enough to compare with the main legions of kingdom-level and principality-level forces.

At this time, the Crown of the Ocean truly had the strength to compete with the Kingdom of Bath.

Ji Chen was very pleased.

After developing in secret for a long time, they finally had the power to gain a foothold in this world.

The Kingdom of Bath, right?

Then all your hair will be pulled out and your ass will be smashed!

Jesus can't save you, I'm telling you!

Then, Ji Chen went to the underground world of lizardmen and found Tomodo, the dwarf who supervised the forging of the apprentices.

He told the story of encountering a ghost ship on the way back.

Tomodo is the top level strong man in this world, and he may know some unknown secrets.

"Ghost ship?"

"Yes, that ghost ship has tracked one of my subordinates before, and it came to me this time. The ghost ship is huge, no less than the Crescent."

Tomodo frowned, stroking his rough beard with his iron-hard palms.

"This is a bit strange. There are many rumors about ghost ships in the Mediterranean. There are more than a dozen versions I know of, including warships and fishing boats, but I have never heard of them appearing. Such a big ship.”

"Besides these, is there anything else unusual?"

Ji Chen pondered for a moment, "Although it sounds a little strange, I heard the ghost ship talking at that time, and no one else heard it, only me heard it."

"I can only vaguely hear some words, such as mission and blessing."

Tomodo looked stunned, his thick eyebrows wrinkled, and a glint flashed in his eyes.

Ji Chen noticed this and said anxiously: "Your Excellency Tomodo, what do you know?"

"No, I don't know more than you." Tomodo shook his head, "But I think this ghost ship did not appear by chance. There must be a reason why it found you."

"Maybe it's reminding you of something."

Ji Chen was a little crazy.

Remind what? Could it be that 'they are coming back soon'?

But who exactly are ‘they’? Just saying this can remind you of something! ?

This feeling of being kept in the dark was very uncomfortable, especially since this was an unusual thing, but he couldn't find enough clues and was looking around like a clown without finding anything.

Seeing his depressed look, Tomodo also comforted him.

"Boy, since you can't think of anything, just don't think about it. No matter what, as long as you are stronger, these things will be solved head on."

"To be overly involved in these things that are still unclear and intangible is putting the cart before the horse."

Ji Chen glanced at Tomodo in surprise. He didn't expect that this careless and grumpy dwarf could say such a thing.

But this did make him sober up. It was simply a waste of time to focus on such insignificant things.

"Thank you, Lord Tomodo, for the reminder. By the way, I have one more thing to say."

Ji Chen told him about the occupation of the Xingyao Islands and the acquisition of a shipyard capable of manufacturing steel ships and a large alchemical artillery manufacturing plant.

This immediately aroused great interest in Tomodo, "Didn't you go to help others get out of trouble with sea beasts? Why did you take action and knock down other people's lairs?"

"Ahem, to put it simply, the congressmen did not fulfill their promises and took over the place by mistake when they were looking for trouble."

Tomodo didn't pay attention to this at all. Instead, he was very interested in the shipyard he mentioned, "Shipyard? Is it the one that can manufacture steel battleships like those of the Kingdom of Bath docked at surface ports?"

"It's almost the same, but the technical content is definitely much lower, and it can only build small frigates. After all, it's just an archipelago-level force."

If we look at the technological content, the "battleships" produced by the Starry Islands are actually just some steel civilian ships equipped with alchemy cannons, which are far from the level of systematic shipbuilding like the Kingdom of Bath.

Its combat effectiveness is naturally very limited, but it is better than a wooden sailboat anyway.

And even if you don't build warships, you can still build some steel cargo ships. Merchant ships and the like are much better for transporting goods and people than fragile wooden ships.

However, this time Ji Chen had other ideas.

"Sir Tomodo, I have a question."

"Can alchemical technology create steel ships that can travel quickly underwater?"

"A steel ship that drives underwater?" Tomodo looked stunned, then frowned and thought, "I have never heard of such a ship, but it sounds very interesting."

"Unlike on the sea surface, if you want to drive underwater, you must consider the sealing and water pressure resistance of the steel. This will put a great test on the type of steel and the alchemy process."

"At the same time, the alchemical cannons used by battleships will naturally not be effective when in the water, so other weapons that can attack in the water are needed. This may draw inspiration from the attack methods of the sea tribe."

"However, the direction of power may be based on the propellers of battleships. After all, they all operate in the water."

As he spoke, Tomodo's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he walked to the table as if ignoring Ji Chen, picked up a pen and started scribbling on the parchment.

Little did he know that Ji Chen looked at him blankly, with surprise in his eyes.

As expected of a legendary dwarf blacksmith, Tomodo was able to think of a series of key places so quickly after he just mentioned the concept of "submarine".

Maybe we can actually create an otherworldly version of a submarine!

Seeing Tomodo looking so excited, Ji Chen didn't want to disturb him and left quietly.

Coming outside, several workshops were rumbling in operation, and the tinkling sounds were endless, forming a steel ensemble.

Hundreds of lizard craftsmen work here, producing weapons and equipment, cannonballs, and various iron tools every moment.

Just like a heart, it transmits a steady stream of blood and energy to the entire territory.

Connected to the workshop is a track leading to the surface. A strange-looking alchemical locomotive pulls dozens of mine carts, transporting surface materials and goods produced by the workshop back and forth between the surface and underground.

This is the alien version of the mining locomotive he commissioned Tomodo to build before. Thanks to the very advanced alchemy and rune technology in this world, this alchemy locomotive, which is similar to a steam train, is not very difficult to manufacture. high.

But the manufacturing principle made him feel a little weird.

I still remember how confused he looked when Tomodo explained to him the principles of alchemy and runes.

This made Ji Chen even more certain that he had no talent in this area.

After that, he plans to lay tracks throughout the underground lizardman world and the Crescent Islands, so that goods and manpower can circulate at the fastest speed.

The workshops in the underground lizardman world produce goods, which are transported to the docks via rails, and then directly shipped to overseas markets. It is simply perfect.

A spark of the industrial revolution is blooming quietly underground on this island far away from the mainland.

However, Ji Chen had also heard in chat channels and forums that those goblins who were unique in their alchemy journey had the technology to create alchemy mechas for mining and even war.

He didn't know if there was any chance to obtain this technology.

After all, mechas are a man’s dream. What man doesn’t want to drive a mecha like Gundam to kill everyone!

I remembered that there was also a key to the goblin's main city - Megatooth City - in my backpack, and this goblin city was located in the Western Continent.

In addition to the goblins in the Western Continent, there are also the dwarf tribes that Tomodo entrusted him to gather. In addition, the emergence of Shakas's Yaoguang Chamber of Commerce has also given Ocean Crown the opportunity to develop a market there.

It seems that a trip to the Western Continent will be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Ji Chen secretly thought, but the next step is to wait for the sea monster chaos to end first, and then to resolve the matter between the Bath Kingdom and the Reinhard Principality as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, he took a passing train back to the surface.

Return to the Lord's Castle.

He began to think about and plan how to intervene in the affairs of the two countries.

First of all, his enemy must be the Kingdom of Bath, and his ally is naturally the Principality of Reinhardt.

Regardless of the cause of the incident.

After the Kingdom of Bass sent a reconnaissance fleet to attack the Crown of the Ocean, he and the former formed an irresolvable feud.

Ji Chen wanted to help overthrow the kingdom, while the former wanted to destroy the Crown of the Ocean, which they regarded as weak but very annoying.

From this standpoint, he would naturally prefer the Principality of Reinhardt, or rather the Grand Duke's daughter Monica, to show his favor.

When I met Monica for the first time, Ocean Crown was still just an inconspicuous small territory, with only a few hundred troops and only a few thousand human citizens. The only territory in its territory was the Crescent Islands. There are not even goods and commodities that can be obtained.

And a few months have passed, and now the power he possesses has expanded rapidly.

An army of almost ten thousand people.

The secret realm of the Great Fluorescent Sea was brought under the rule, and the well-known and rich Xingyao Islands also surrendered.

Ocean Crown's goods are also selling well in the Northern Continent, and its reputation has been greatly enhanced.

Come to think of it, all this will surprise Monica.

Thinking of that lively little girl who looked dignified and elegant but longed for freedom in her heart, Ji Chen couldn't help but smile.

They may meet again soon.

At the same time.

The city of Tellings, thousands of miles away.

If you ask the indigenous people on the northwest coast of the Mediterranean which coastal city is the most beautiful, they will definitely answer Tellings.

As the capital of the Principality of Reinhardt, Trins City is located on the seashore, surrounded by the sea on two sides, with mountains on one side and rivers on the other, and has a long and excellent coastline.

Not only does it have an excellent large-scale shelter, but it also has an extremely pleasant long white sand beach. Thousands of seagulls soar in the sky, overlooking the city that stretches for dozens of miles below.

Houses with white walls and blue tiles are clustered around each other. They follow the terrain and are coiled on the highlands. They are built against the mountains but do not appear steep. Together with the nearby blue sea, they have a feeling of heaven and earth.

The castle located at the highest point of the city is the seat of the palace of the Grand Duke family and the Valencia family, the rulers of the Principality of Reinhardt.

At this time, in a spacious room in the castle, Monica was wearing a pure white silk dress. She held a quill in her beautiful hand and was concentrating on drawing on the parchment in front of her.

Judging from the slightly raised corners of her mouth unconsciously, she was in a good mood.

At this time, there was a sudden gentle knock on the door, which shocked Monica. She carefully put the parchment into the drawer like a thief, then forced herself to calm down, straightened her back and spoke calmly.

"come in."

The door was pushed open, and several maids walked in. The mature maid headed by them saluted.

"Ms. Monica, Your Majesty, please come to the hall."

"Father?" Monica was slightly startled, probably asking about the conflict and war between the Principality and the Kingdom of Bath.

"I know, I'll be there in a moment."

Under the clothes of several maids, Monica put on an exquisite blue dress. The ordinary decorations on her body showed a different kind of beauty, which made the eyes of the maids beside her shine.

The floral shoulder straps hang gently on the soft shoulders as white as suet balls. Under the conservative collar is an astonishing arc. The slim skirt waist outlines the round waist, like a white swan. A necklace dotted with sapphires is the finishing touch on her beautiful neck.

"Your Highness, you are so beautiful. I wonder who your Highness's future husband will be. You are so lucky to marry such a beautiful and intelligent woman." The maid said sincerely in appreciation.

This made Monica's cheeks dyed with two wisps of crimson, "I will not marry. I am determined to dedicate everything to the principality and always witness its prosperity and power."

But when he said these words, he was thinking of someone in his heart, and his eyes were slightly wandering.

Seeing Monica's expression, the head maid, who was like a spirit, didn't know that His Highness had someone in her heart. She thought about which noble family's son or prince from which country was so lucky to win His Highness's heart.

However, this is fine. If he is married to a big noble family, then His Majesty will definitely be able to further consolidate his position as Grand Duke and fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Principality.

It would be even better if she married into a certain kingdom. With His Highness's wisdom and means, he would be able to defeat her to death. When the two countries are reconciled and each other's needs are exchanged, the principality will only become stronger and more prosperous.
