…Regardless, the death of the Dreadlord is a good thing for both the Orderly fraction and the Empire. With the pressure from the Abyss lifted, and as we are about to initiate a full-scale war mobilization, whether it’s crossing the Abyss to attack the demon forces in the Southern Continent or supporting other factions in the Eastern and Western Continents, it’s all a good strategic choice.” Laphia shifted to a more comfortable position, crossing her long legs wrapped in white merfabric leggings, then continued, pausing briefly before proceeding. “However, it’s also essential to maintain a good relationship with Ji Chen and the Ocean Crown. Although we’re unsure how Balzarna was slain, Ji Chen’s strength and potential are undeniable. We must treat him with the utmost seriousness.”

“Herli, send another batch of resources to the Ocean Crown, under the guise of… aiding in reconstruction.”

Herli nodded, blinking. “Isn’t it pretty clear what you’re trying to achieve by doing that?”

“It doesn’t matter. Ji Chen is a smart man. He won’t refuse resources that can help him.”

Laphia’s eyes sparkled. “Although Ji Chen is individually powerful, his faction is still relatively weak. By aiding his faction’s rapid development, we establish a tacit understanding. With such a relationship, we share common ground and interests. In the future, if we need his cooperation, he won’t refuse.” “Well, I’m not good at these things. Do as you see fit.” Herli shrugged, then remembered something and asked, “Regarding the news that an elf with ancient bloodline appeared in the Ocean Crown, what’s your take on it?” “When did this elf appear in the Ocean Crown?”

We re not sure yet. Currently, we only know she is a hero under Ji Chen’s command, her strength has reached a legendary tier. In the battle against the demon army in the Ocean Crown, she killed several demon heroes with her bow and arrow, and it’s even said that she shot an arrow at the Dreadlord.” Laphia’s eyes flashed with surprise and admiration. Having the courage to shoot an arrow at a being above epic tier, even if it didn’t cause harm, was enough to prove her extraordinary.

What was more valuable than sheer strength was the courage to challenge stronger opponents.

Such a highly potential elf with ancient bloodline would ordinarily be brought back at any cost. However, she happened to be under Ji Chen’s command, which made it tricky.

After a brief contemplation, Laphia took a deep breath, “Let’s put this aside for now. I will personally go to the Ocean Crown to discuss with Ji Chen.”

In the Northern Continent, in Lienhardt.

As the soldier delivering the report left the great hall, Monica joyfully grabbed Julius’s arm and shook it.

“Father, did you hear? Lord Ji Chen not only defeated the demon army but also killed the Dreadlord! It’s amazing!”

Feeling dizzy from his daughter’s shaking, Julius smiled helplessly. “Yes, I heard. You don’t have to shake your father like this even if you’re happy.” Monica’s face was full of smiles. “I knew Lord Ji Chen would definitely beat those demons. He not only defeated the demon army of millions but also made a name for himself across the continent!”

Watching his daughter rejoice for another man, Julius couldn’t help feeling a bit sour. “Yes, yes, Lord Ji Chen is now famous across the continent. From now on, you can go live with him and don’t have to bother with this old man anymore.”

You old man, what’s the point of competing with young people?”

Miloma glared at him, grabbed Monica’s hand, and said gently to her, “Lord Ji Chen has not only killed the Dreadlord, saving the entire Western Mid-Ocean, but also aided the coastal nations of the Northern Continent. We in Lienhardt’ have been relieved of crisis. You should find the opportunity to thank him in person.”

Sebastian, who was beside them, was also quite pleased. “That’s right, Lord Ji Chen has achieved such great feats, enough to boost the morale of the Orderly fraction. We should all be thankful to him.”

Monica nodded, smiling brightly. “I will definitely thank Lord Ji Chen in person!”

Sebastian seemed to have an idea and said to Julius, “Father, we are about to complete the war mobilization. Where should we deploy our forces next?” Julius replied, “Originally, I planned to respond to the call of the elves after completing the war mobilization and dispatch our fleet to support the Ocean Crown. But now that the Dreadlord of the Mid-Ocean has been killed by Ji Chen, such support is no longer needed. Whether to support the Western Continent, ’ the Eastern Continent, or elsewhere depends on the elves’ strategic layout.” Sebastian pondered for a moment. “I have an idea.”

“Oh? Let’s hear it.”

I think since the Dreadlord is dead, and the demon army responsible for conquering the Mid-Ocean is eliminated, perhaps we can deploy our fleet directly to the Southern Continent. It’s a good choice whether to support the remaining resistance forces there or harass the demons’ rear bases.”

Julius thought for a moment and then said, “Indeed, if we can get the elves’ support and raid the Southern Continent together with them, our efforts will be doubly rewarded.”

The elven navy was the first navy in the Mid-Ocean, with the largest scale and the strongest combat power. If they wanted to invade the Southern Continent, their participation is essential.

Sebastian nodded. “I understand. I’ll send someone to contact the elves and request their troops.”

Meanwhile…

Because of this incident, not only the Orderly fraction was in turmoil, but the demons were also shocked.

In the Modo Strait at the southern end of the Western Continent.

As the border between the Southern Continent and the Western Continent, this was once the most prosperous strait connecting the Mid-Ocean and the Outer Sea. A city named Modo stood here, home to millions of people.

However, when the “Eye of the Demon” split the sky, the demon army poured out from it, occupying this place. Countless creatures were brutally slaughtered and turned into food and slaves.

The Decay Lord used the power of decay to pollute this land, turning it into a dead domain.

On a skyscraper in Modo completely covered by a blanket of black fungus, the Decay Lord stood at the edge, gazing towards the northeast direction of the ocean, his eyes gradually showing a hint of surprise.

“Balzana is dead? Killed by a mere Glory Lord?”

He had considered various ways in which Balzana might die, whether at the hands of the next demon lord or in power struggles among demons after the demon domination of the world. But he had never imagined that he would die at the hands of a mere Glory Lord.

Though this generation’s Dreadlord lacked strategic acumen, his strength was decent, ranking at a moderate level among the epic tier.

Of course, he wasn’t saddened by his death in battle. He was only worried about the series of chain reactions that might occur due to Balzana’s death. The Five Demon Lords each had their own strategic objectives in this war.

Lacking any one of them would affect the demons’ strategic plan to conquer the mortal realm.

Not only was Balzana himself slain, but also millions of sea demon troops were buried along with him in the ocean. This would lead to a huge vacuum of power in the direction of the Mid-Ocean, giving the Orderly fraction an opportunity. At least for now, the pressure he faced from the Void Lord of the Eastern Continent would increase significantly. Meanwhile, the demon clan also lost the opportunity to land on the Northern Continent directly from the Mid­Ocean.

The immediate priority was to guard against the attacks from the Orderly fraction’s fleet, launching attacks against them from the ocean.

What a useless thing. We still have to clean up the mess for this waste.”

The Decay Lord shook his head and called his subordinates.

“Accelerate the offensive on the front lines, spread the decayed land further as a defense, and speed up the cultivation of troops. I need more soldiers to consume the worthless scrap metal from the dwarves.”

Pausing for a moment, he continued.

“In addition, send more soldiers to scout the ocean direction to prevent the

Orderly fraction from launching surprise attacks from the sea.”

“Yes, sir!”
