However, what made them feel somewhat uneasy was that compared to the last time, the Lord of Glory now exuded even more authority and superiority, leaving them feeling as if their every thought was laid bare.

As Ji Chen’s strength and insight grew, he found his eyes becoming sharper and more perceptive. It was easy for him to discern the thoughts and intentions of others, quickly understanding the minds of Herman and Kieran.

With a commanding tone, he tapped his index finger on the armrest.

“I will send someone to assist in managing the affairs of the Starshine Islands. You must cooperate fully in carrying out your work. If I find incidents like Xhakas’s happening again, you should be aware of the consequences.

Herman and Kieran were immediately shaken, responding with trepidation.

Ji Chen nodded slightly. He didn’t mind having ambitious subordinates, as long as they fully implemented his will. Otherwise, having the ability alone was futile.

Amidst cries and pleas, Xhakas was dragged away by soldiers, awaiting the dark fate of a life spent in the lightless mines, alongside those who had once violated the Ocean Crown.

“You must have heard about the demonic invasion, right? Herman and Kieran nodded, with Kieran hesitantly asking, “My lord, is it true?

Are those ghastly things really about to sweep in?”

“Of course it’s true. I’m one of the discoverers.”

Ji Chen gave a definite answer, his tone becoming more serious. “Once the demons invade, the Ocean Crown will become their primary point of attack in the Western Mid-Ocean. If the Ocean Crown falls, there will be no islands or forces in the Western Mid-Ocean capable of stopping the demons, including the Starshine Islands. Do you understand?”

Herman and Kieran’s spirits lifted, exchanging glances and promptly saluting, “Please command as you wish. We will fully execute your orders.”

Leaving aside other matters, these indigenous nobles had quite sensitive instincts, knowing exactly what he meant.

“I want you to output resources to the Ocean Crown as much as possible in the coming time.”

Ji Chen paused before continuing. “In addition, I want you to quickly send a fleet to the Western Continent and dispatch people to the KKels Mountain Range to persuade the dwarven tribes living there to come to the Ocean Crown.”

They were puzzled. Dwarves?

Ji Chen glanced at them and continued, “Tell them it’s the dwarven blacksmith Thotmudo who sent them.”

Though they didn’t quite understand these instructions, Herman and Kieran still remembered his instruction, nodding in agreement. “We will arrange this as soon as we return.”

With Ji Chen’s orders, Herman and Kieran returned to the Starshine Islands the next morning, accompanied by Raymond, who had returned from the Maple Principality a few days earlier.

As one of the early members of the Ocean Crown, Raymond’s loyalty and abilities had already been recognized over time, making him capable of managing the affairs of the Starshine Islands.

Once the engineering repair plan was announced, the entire New Moon Islands began bustling with activity. Large quantities of resources were transported from the warehouses to various locations on the islands. The construction scope of the island’s circular wall was planned, starting from the cliffs in the southeast of the main island, extending along the southern beaches and stretching northwest towards the giant tree forest.

This was currently the largest construction project, and once completed, the main island would have a continuous wall tens of kilometers long and ten meters thick.

In addition to the main wall, a batch of defense-building blueprints purchased from the merchant Lain were also put into use. The positions for arrow towers, spell towers, and cannon platforms had been cleared behind the wall. The residents of the Ocean Crown were all enthusiastically constructing these defensive structures.

Perhaps due to the news of the demonic invasion, the residents united in solidarity, their hearts unknowingly rising a few points again, reaching a high of 99 points, just 1 point away from fullness.

Such high morale brought about explosive work efficiency and enthusiasm.

Even if they weren’t given anything to eat, the residents of the Ocean Crown could work tirelessly for ten days straight, swinging their hammers until they smoked.

He was very curious about what would happen if the morale reached 100 points.

Now, he already had the people’s support.

When the city walls and other defensive structures were completed, they would also have the advantage of terrain. At that time, it would depend on whether the timing would be favorable.

“Ding’ Your elven hero, Elisya, has been promoted in tier due to her epic-tier talent and long-term training (Legacy Tier – Legendary Tier).” Ji Chen was stunned, a look of astonishment flashing across his face.

Elisya… had she advanced on her own!?

At the same time, in the jungle to the northwest of the main island, an extremely dazzling orange beam pierced through the clouds and soared into the sky, carrying with it the majestic ancient power that swept across the entire island.

Countless trees and vegetation bent and fell, animals in the jungle cowered on the ground, and even Thotmudo, who was toiling away in the underground world, lifted his head.

Everyone was stunned.

It took a while for them to react, cursing.

“Damn, this kid must have received the blessing of the gods, another damn legendary tier!”

He considered himself worldly-wise, but he had never seen anything so exaggerated. In less than three days, the Ocean Crown had unexpectedly promoted two legendary tiers.

Although legendary tier might not be as prestigious as epic tier, it was not something that could easily appear. A powerful legendary figure was enough to be treated as an esteemed guest by the kingdom, feasting and enjoying the best hospitality.

But here, it was like cabbage on the street. If he remembered correctly, Ji Chen already had five legendary tier individuals under his command!?

This was even more than the previous Black Iron Fortress!

Comparison truly is the thief of joy!

It took a while for the beam and the imposing aura to dissipate, but it was enough to shock the foreigners who remained on the island, while the residents of the Ocean Crown cheered. They had another powerful protector.

Following the trail of energy, Ji Chen quickly found Elisya in a clearing in the woods.

At this moment, the elven girl was staring blankly at her own palm, as if contemplating something.

“Elisya.”

The elf turned her head, the confusion on her face turning into joy in less than half a second as she excitedly ran over.

“Lord, I’ve broken through to the legendary tier!”

Ji Chen opened his arms to catch Elisya as she ran towards him, steadying her and letting her down, smiling. “You caused quite a stir, the whole island knows.”

Elisya scratched her head sheepishly. “Hehe, 1 didn’t control my power for a moment, and it turned out like this.”

Ji Chen didn’t mind. The Ocean Crown no longer needed to hide. The more powerful they appeared, the more fearful those with ill intentions would become, shifting from strategic deception to strategic intimidation.

“How did you break through?”

Elisya looked a bit puzzled, gesturing with her fingers. “I was practicing shooting just now, suddenly felt a strong energy surging from deep within me, heard a popping sound, and then I broke through.

Ji Chen was slightly astonished, then chuckled and shook his head. My goodness, while others need resources to advance, you just naturally did it. Is this the bloodline of the ancient elves?

Regardless, the Ocean Crown has gained another legendary hero, surely adding strength to resist the demonic invasion.

Demon Transfer Station.

“Lord Balzarna, we need at most two more months. We’ll completely break through the barrier and infiltrate the main world!

“Very good!” Balzarna’s eyes flashed with a hint of menace. “Once the passage is opened, the vanguard will immediately move into the main world, annihilating the enemies nearby and creating an environment for the subsequent army to advance!”

“Yes!”

Balzarna remembered the human lord who had disrupted his plans and exposed everything. A look of indignation flashed across his face.

“That damn human lord, once I descend into the main world, I will surely imprison him and use the flames of hell to burn him for millennia to quench my hatred!”
