Chapter 773: Deeper Reasons? Saskia, the Greed Lord (2)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Dark deities may not have broken through the seals of chaos and the suppression of the orderly gods on their own, but may have had help from other entities to break free.”

Upon hearing this news, Ji Chen felt like a storm was brewing in his heart. Gods were the most powerful beings that had appeared in this world since records began, and poets called them the creators and destroyers of all things. It meant that the gods created everything in this world, including all races bom from the bloodline of the gods.

They controlled the rules and powers of this world, shaping it with supreme power.

Now, to say that other entities helped the dark gods break the seal, didn’t that mean that these entities were even more powerful than those gods?

Watching the boat carrying Laphia slowly leave the harbor, Ji Chen felt heavy-hearted.

He sensed as if unseen forces were at play, pulling strings and pressing buttons behind the scenes of the world, altering the scenes on the screen to attain their desired outcomes.

To be honest, this feeling of being kept in the dark and manipulated was not a good one.

Ji Chen once again felt a sense of urgency.

Not for the demons, but for some distant but gradually approaching crisis.

But no matter what, they still had to first deal with these dogs released by the dark gods from the depths of chaos.

Three days later.

The fleets of various countries moored in the stormy sea gradually began to move away from the sea area with the sound of loud steam whistles.

Nine kingdoms and forces dispatched a total of three hundred and fifty-two warships, including main battleships, escort ships, supply ships, arsenal ships, and airship carriers.

Among them, the fleet of the Elven Empire had the strongest combat power. It dispatched the Fifth Fleet of the Western-Mid Ocean, which Ji Chen had seen at the port of the Maple Principality for the first time, commanded by Yasen.

Including a flagship, the Fifth Fleet of the Western-Mid Ocean had a total of thirty-three warships.

Other kingdoms, such as Lienhardt, sent the Royal First Fleet that once raided the city of Ilkand in the defense war against the Kingdom of Bass, which was the most powerful fleet of Lienhardt, demonstrating Julius’s emphasis on this operation.

The massive joint fleet of more than three hundred and fifty warships sailed majestically on the ocean.

Seeing this scene, everyone felt ambitious and confident.

With this fleet, the demons would definitely have no chance!

Just as the joint fleet was heading towards the southern continent…

On the northern bank of the Roni River, the Desert Alliance’s stronghold, Ari saw his elder brother, Mijat, who had been away for a month. However, to his disappointment, Mijat’s first reaction upon seeing him was not joy or mockery, but hysterical anger.

“You fool, idiot, why did you come back!!!”

Ari glanced at his brother, who shared his bloodline yet seemed like a foe, and defiantly yelled for the first time.

“Why can’t I come back? Since you can stay here and live or die with the desert people, why can’t I stand here proudly and face death with the people of Ugisai!

I am also a prince of the Kingdom of Ugisai! I am not afraid of death!”

Angry, Mijat froze, staring blankly at Ari in disbelief, as if looking at a stranger. When did his brother become like this, as if his soul had been possessed.

Mijat regained his senses, suppressed the emotional turmoil in his heart, and looked at him with distrust, sneering.

“What’s the use of you coming back? Do you want to die under the demon’s blade? Or become their slaves?”

Ari lifted his head, facing him without hesitation, and said word by word.

“I have brought reinforcements!”

“The Lord of the Crown of the Ocean, Ji Chen, had slain the Dreadlord Balzama, and all the demon armies under his command have been wiped out by him!

In addition, a joint fleet composed of the Elven Empire and several kingdoms of the Northern Continent will arrive on the southern continent coastline in a few days to help us counter the Greed Lord!”

Mijat’s face changed color. “Is what you said true? Don’t use a lie that is meant to deceive three-year-old children, or just a scheme to motivate us!”

“I, as a prince of the Kingdom of Ugisai, vouch for my position and integrity.

What I said is true! If you don’t believe me, look at these troops from the Crown of the Ocean that escorted me here!”

Ari pointed angrily at the powerful troops stationed on the shore.

The leader of the troops, an elite hero of the Crown of the Ocean, said calmly, What he said is true. Lord Ji Chen did indeed send him to inform you that reinforcements are on the way, and to encourage you to continue resisting the Greed Lord.”

The commotion here had already attracted the attention of all members of the Desert Alliance, and those around couldn’t help but show excitement when they heard these words.

Finally, reinforcements had arrived!

Mijat furrowed his brow, surprised that Ari had indeed brought reinforcements, which proved to be somewhat useful.

“When will the reinforcements arrive?” Mijat asked.

Ari replied solemnly, “When I set off here, I heard that the joint fleet had already reached the Crown of the Ocean. It shouldn’t take more than a few days for them to depart for the southern continent.”

A few days…” Mijat looked towards the southern sky where ominous clouds, as dark as ink, were slowly drifting towards them, emanating an ominous aura. “I hope we can hold on until they arrive.”

Meanwhile…

South of the northern front line of the Desert Alliance, demon armies marched across the endless yellow sands. Each formation consisted of tens of thousands of demons, with a total of fifty demon formations stretching across dozens of miles in the desert.

But not only that, if one were to look further into the southern region, where the desert had been completely invaded and contaminated by the Greed Lord, numerous demon “collectors” were gathering materials from various parts of the desert and delivering them to strange fleshy structures.

Under the control of specialized “cultivators,” demons were continuously bred from the foul-smelling sludge, with some malformed ones being recycled and reassembled until they became qualified demons.

Though these demons were newly born, their eyes were already filled with evil and fanaticism, traits deeply ingrained in their souls during the cultivation process.

Evil, slaughter, and chaos were always their qualities.

The newly bom demons gathered outside and, under the leadership of demon heroes, rushed towards the front lines.

In terms of sustainable combat capabilities, among the five Demon Lords, the Greed Lord excelled the most in “farming” tricks.

First, they would mobilize forces to occupy an area, then vigorously construct demon breeding vessels and incubation structures to continuously produce demons to supplement their forces.

Creating an army that could never be depleted!

This was why the Greed Lord’s initial marching speed was not fast, as they needed to focus more energy on “building cities” rather than fighting.

Now that the rear base had been established and production capacity had increased, it was truly the time for them to engage in battle.

“Lord Saskia, the First Legion has already rushed to the front lines, and the breeding vessels and incubators are also fully producing demons. Soon, we will be able to form a scale effect and produce an endless stream of demon flood!

Those fools from the orderly factions and the Desert Alliance would never imagine the reason why you didn’t rush into attack earlier. They will all be engulfed by the demon army you created!”

Seated upon the Throne of Flesh, the Greed Lord Saskia chuckled, “Indeed so. The other Demon Lords all think I am the weakest, but that’s only because there weren’t enough materials in the Abyss of Chaos for cultivation. Otherwise, I alone could raise a demon army ten times larger than theirs!”

Saskia waved his hand, his voice cold, “Spread my command. Let the collectors speed up the collection of flesh and corpses, breed more demons, and let them spread my fame throughout this world. This time, I will surpass Darius and Maldonis, let them know who the true foremost Demon Lord is!”

“Yes!!”
