This sea lord is a bit strong

Chapter 258 Nightmare, Underground Workshop, Destroyer

Fish Mouth Canyon.

The leader of Dragon King City's thousand-man team watched the attack of the Coral Palace Lord's army be repelled again, his face was extremely excited, and he couldn't help but float up.

When Dragon King City was about to be breached, he planned to die for his country in order to repay Lord Water Dragon King for not killing him before.

But when faced with thousands of enemies, he was timid. He chose to leave the battlefield with his remnant army. thing.

But not long after arriving here, the Coral Palace army found their traces, and three thousand-man teams came after hearing the news, and the leader turned out to be the Lord of Coral.

At first he was as hopeless as the other soldiers, thinking that he would die, but then he surprised them.

Not only did the Coral Palace army fail to capture them quickly, but they were hit hard by their counterattack. The three thousand-man teams couldn't beat them and one thousand-man team. The attacks were repelled again and again, and they were even killed by them. Hundreds of them were killed, and there was very little damage to themselves.

Even the team led by the Lord of Coral could not defeat them, which inevitably made them a little proud.

"As long as we guard the Yuzui Canyon, after we have trained those residents well, we might be able to counterattack and take back Dragon King City, and rescue Lord Water Dragon King!"

"That's right, those idiots in the Coral Palace who are content with the status quo, how can their fighting power be comparable to those of us who have experienced many battles? We will definitely recover the Dragon King City!"

"So what about the Lord of Coral? He just colluded with humans and attacked Lord Water Dragon King. If we fight head-on, we will surely win!"

"Long live Dragon King City!"

Hearing the cheers of the soldiers, the leader of the thousand-man team couldn't help but smile, as if the Coral Palace army who had driven them away was nothing, and the recapture of Dragon King City was imminent.

But at this moment, a soldier suddenly exclaimed.

"Look outside, there are more than a dozen big guys coming over there."

The leader of the thousand-man team heard the prestige, and at a glance saw a dozen mosasaurs slowly landing in the army of the Coral Palace. There was a slender figure standing on the leader's head. Because the distance was too far, he did not Can see this figure clearly.

All I saw was that the soldiers of the Coral Palace half-kneeled towards this figure one after another.

Those mosasaurs, he seems to remember, seemed to have appeared in the battle of Dragon King City, and they seemed to be... that alien human army.

Then isn't that figure the human being! ?

Thinking of this, the leader of the thousand-man team turned pale.

The memories that he didn't want to think of in his mind were evoked in an instant, and he would never forget it even when he died. That day, the dragon king city army approached the Coral Palace, but the human looked indifferent, and just waved most of them away. Memories of soldiers killed.

Endless fear flowed out like a flood breaking a dam, making his body tremble uncontrollably.

There is only one thought in the mind.

They can't beat this human being! !

In the eyes of the Coral Palace army, Ji Chen is like a savior, but in the Dragon King City army, Ji Chen is a lingering nightmare.

At this time, the other soldiers looked at the commander and seemed to have guessed something. They all showed a look of panic, they couldn't even hold their weapons, their morale was completely lost, and their expressions were terrified and dazed.

"Commander, what should we do?"

"Why don't we surrender, or that human will definitely kill us all."

"I heard that the Coral Palace will not kill the surrendered Sea Clan. We may be able to survive if we surrender."

The leader of the thousand-man team thought of Lord Water Dragon King. It was rumored that Lord Water Dragon King was imprisoned in the dark prison of Dragon King City.

Even adults are like this, so how can their subordinates surrender without a fight?

How can he live up to his expectations when the adults let him commit crimes and meritorious deeds?
The leader of the thousand-man team gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "We must not surrender, Master Water Dragon King is still waiting for us to rescue, Dragon King City is still waiting for us to recover!"

"To be loyal to Lord Water Dragon King!!"

As if inspired, the other soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, and with a little courage in their hearts, they also raised their weapons, "To be loyal to Lord Water Dragon King!"

At this time, the Coral Palace army that had stopped in the distance suddenly moved again, attacking like a rainbow.

They were just about to go forward to resist, but saw that slender figure also coming together, and slowly raised their right hands.

I saw a vortex suddenly formed, and it became bigger and bigger, as if connecting heaven and earth, even if they were far away, they could feel the terrifying power contained in it.

Seeing this scene, the little courage they finally mustered dissipated like a cloud of smoke, and they knelt on the ground in fear.

Seeing this, the leader of the thousand-man team cursed inwardly as a coward, and then rushed forward with a look of death on his face.

Even if he died, he would die on the way to charge!
Soon, his figure was overwhelmed by the Coral Palace army.

This battle, which would have lasted longer and resulted in more casualties among the sea clan, ended hastily because of Ji Chen's arrival.

The thousand-man team of Dragon King City in Yuzui Canyon chose to surrender. After being disarmed, they were escorted to Dragon King City and imprisoned. It was considered another way to return to Dragon King City.

In the palace that originally belonged to Diego in the city, Ji Chen sat on the golden throne on the steps.

Under the steps, Sonia stood and waited for instructions.

"I'm here to tell you something."

"Sir, please speak, I will definitely act according to your will."

"Don't be so nervous, sit down." Ji Chen looked at Sonia who looked serious, and smiled.

Sonia hesitated for a while, and sat down on the stone chair on one side, but her buttocks were only halfway up, and her smooth back was still straight.

Seeing this, Ji Chen didn't say anything, and said: "Now the Western Mediterranean is being harassed by sea beast tides, and our connection with the North Continent and other settlements has been interrupted. This has a great impact on the development of Ocean Crown. influences."

Sonia nodded. The adults had told her more or less about the outside world before, and also knew places like the Western Mediterranean and the Northern Continent, so there is no problem in understanding it now.

"Although the tide of sea beasts has passed through the stormy sea area, there are still quite a few scattered sea beasts wandering around."

"In a few days, I will lead the legion to the Xingyao Islands, a few days away from the territory, to obtain the resources needed for the development of the territory, so you must calm down the Great Fluorescent Sea as soon as possible, and lead the Coral Palace army to undertake part of the defense when necessary responsibility."

Sonia's face brightened. Doesn't this mean that they will soon be able to go to the colorful main world?
When Ji Chen was speaking, he kept secretly observing Sonia's performance, and after realizing that she was only happy to be able to go to the main world, he nodded secretly.

All the worries in my heart were also dispelled.

After a moment of joy, Sonia got up again and saluted, "I am willing to issue a military order, and Coral Palace will get rid of the remaining evils of Dragon King City as soon as possible."

"And take care of other things in the Great Fluorescent Sea, and lead the Coral Palace army to take on the defense mission as soon as possible."

Seeing that Sonia had issued a military order, Ji Chen also nodded in relief.

"In addition to this matter, you also appropriately dispatched a reconnaissance team to the dark water layer to reconnaissance terrain, enemies, etc."

Sonia's expression changed, "My lord, do you want to explore the dark water layer?"

Ji Chen nodded irresistibly.

Dragon King City once obtained a large amount of rare resources from the dark water layer of the Great Fluorescent Sea. Wouldn't it be a waste to have such a treasure house in front of us and not dig it?
But they don't know anything about the situation inside now, and it's obviously not suitable for large-scale exploration.

Sonia suggested: "We can go to the human kingdom above the sea. They are the descendants of those humans, and they may still inherit and preserve some important information about the dark water layer."

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." Ji Chen thought for a while and felt that this approach is feasible, so he agreed with a big wave of his hand, "If you have any ideas, you can do it boldly, as long as it is in the interests of the crown of the ocean."

What he wants is not a robot that can only obey orders and do whatever it listens to, but also a person who can lead the overall situation.

All along, he has been consciously or unconsciously cultivating the autonomy of his subordinates. For example, Willus is the best representative.

Set up a legion so that each hero can become a general who can fight and command instead of a reckless man who can only rush.

Alice, Gerardo, Benbo Erba and other hero units are all moving in this direction.

As for Anina... she doesn't seem to have the talent in this area, so she can only be regarded as a super individual force.

After Ji Chen told Sonia about these things, he took Alice and left the big fluorescent sea.

Now there are only more than 20 rare resources left in Ocean Crown's inventory, which is not enough for a round of arms recruitment, so he decided to use the limited resources this time to improve the backbone - a part of the backbone that plays an important role in the legion hero.

It takes about 5 to 7 units of rare resources to upgrade a blue excellent hero unit to the purple rare level, and 23 to 24 rare resources can roughly be upgraded to four.

The list of upgrades is already in his mind, the half-orc hero Darrow, the knight legion lobster guard knight hero Waylon, a Naga guard hero and a water elf archer.

This Naga guard hero needs to assume the role of temporary commander when Geraldo fights alone, and the latter needs to command the guards.

When four new purple rare heroes appeared on the territory, it not only indicated that Ocean Crown was stronger, but also indicated that the inventory of rare resources had been completely emptied.

If there are no more resources in the account after that, then they will have to drink the northwest wind.

When Ji Chen was eagerly preparing to go to sea again, Tomodo sent good news that the object on the second alchemy blueprint had been manufactured.

In the previous sea beast tide attack, Tomodo never showed up. He has been working in the blacksmith shop built in the underground lizardman world, in order to produce the first machine of the second alchemy blueprint as soon as possible.

After receiving the news, Ji Chen quickly passed through the long tunnel and came underground again after a long time.

The underground lizardman world is still the same, with lava and rocks forming an eternal style.

However, on the vast ground outside the city of Dok, the capital of the Kingdom of Dok, there are towering workshops, and the lava flow drawn from the magma river passes through the predetermined channels, providing ample support for the production operations of the workshops. There is sufficient heat and energy, and ore as high as a mountain is piled up in the open space next to it.

Under the auspices of the legendary dwarf blacksmith Tomodo, several large-scale production workshops have been established here, using the rich ore resources and lava here to continuously produce various iron tools, weapons and equipment, alchemy shells, arrow cluster ammunition, etc.

It can be said that this is the industrial park of the crown of the ocean, occupying more than 80.00% of the industrial production capacity.

This was also Ji Chen's original plan, which was to use the concealment and safety of the underground lizardman world to ensure the output of various materials.

In addition to being an excellent refuge, the underground lizardman world is also a backup production base.

Ji Chen walked into one of the tall workshops and saw Tomodo standing in front of a pitch-black fort.

"Your Excellency Tomodo, I heard that you made the second blueprint, the No. [-] machine? Is this the one?"

Hearing this, Tomodo looked back and said airily: "Of course, this kind of little thing doesn't have any technical content, and it will take a little time at most to get it out."

Ji Chen smiled, did not expose his words, and turned to look at the fort.

From the base of the hexagonal metal turret, a very thick gun barrel protruding obliquely from the middle, longer than the barrel of a battleship, the pitch-black color reveals a terrifying and chilling look.

At first glance, it feels full of security.

"This artillery is called Destroyer. It is a shore-based defensive alchemy artillery. Its attack range is quite far. It can accurately hit targets several kilometers or even tens of miles away. Its power is also quite optimistic. Those small steel warships are not If it sinks immediately, it will lose its fighting power."

"The shortcomings are also obvious. The shells are loaded slowly, the manufacturing process is demanding, and the manufacturing cycle is quite long, but none of these can conceal the power of the Destroyer artillery."

Tomodo, who has always been picky and arrogant, couldn't help showing a hint of admiration at this time, "It seems that thousands of years have passed, and human beings have made some progress in alchemy technology."

"What is the relationship between you kid and the daughter of the grand duke of the Principality of Reinhardt? Is she your concubine? She is willing to give you the blueprint of this kind of thing."

Ji Chen almost spit out his saliva, and said dumbfoundingly: "Monica is just my friend, not a concubine."

Tomodo has an expression of trusting you, would an ordinary friend give such a precious thing?
However, he didn't worry too much about it, and continued: "Now this Destroyer is only the first machine, and there are still some places and processes that need to be adjusted, so it can't be put into use immediately."

"If you want to use it to deal with those sea beasts immediately, it will be in vain."

Ji Chen waved his hand, his face was a little high-spirited, "It's okay, follow your rhythm, I can afford to wait, and the crown of the ocean can also afford to wait."

"It's easy and comfortable to talk to you kid, and you must get along well with other dwarves."

Ji Chen smiled, "Thank you for your compliment, I have one more thing... The stock of alchemy shells has been exhausted, can we urgently produce another batch?"

"Of course there is no problem with this. I will let those apprentices work overtime and produce more."

Tomodo nodded.
