nTranslator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

n“Ding- You and your army have successfully killed the players: Zhao Guoyi, Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu, and have substantially controlled their territories, gaining dominance over their territory resources.”

nJi Chen glanced at the system prompt and knew that victory had been achieved in the other three battlefields as well.

nThere was no room for doubt; given the formidable strength of the Crown of the Ocean’s forces, any valiant hero would effortlessly emerge victorious.

nHe alone had lolled three players, and the last one, he didn’t know who the hero collided with, but it was clear that the player also didn’t escape unscathed.

nJi Chen arrived in front of the Lord Manor of this territory.

nA system prompt popped up.

n“Ding- Occupy the territory

/destroy the territory?”

nAfter killing the hostile lord and gaining control of the enemy’s territory, one could choose to occupy or destroy it, and all the resources within would belong to the conqueror.

nAfter some thought, Ji Chen decided to temporarily set aside this choice.

nHe extracted all the resources from this territory and piled them up in an empty space. Then, he headed towards the military recruitment camp of this territory, perhaps there were some good units here?

nBut after examining them one by one, he was greatly disappointed.

nThese military recruitment camps were all low-tier camps, at most 2nd tier,

n5-star units, and the units themselves had no training value whatsoever.

nEven if they were recruited, they would be a waste of resources.

nAfter looking through them all, Ji Chen chose to destroy this territory.

nThe reason was simple, occupying a territory meant having an additional sub-territory.

nFrom the perspective of a strategy game, this operation was akin to opening a subsidiary mine.

nHowever, this was not a game where one could operate with an omniscient perspective, ignoring distances as if they were inconsequential.

nHis reach was not extensive, nor did he possess sufficient resources to oversee multiple sub-territories situated far from the central domain of the New Moon Islands.

nAt that moment he clicked on “destroy”.

nThis territory began to collapse on its own.

nThe Lord Manor and all the other buildings seemed to have experienced the erosion of time in an instant, rapidly decaying and disintegrating.

nAs a light breeze blew through the forest, everything turned into dust, dissipating into the air.

nIn just a few breaths, all traces of this territory were completely erased, leaving behind only an empty space, resources scattered on the ground, and a group of bewildered and uneasy residents.

nThese resources and populations would become his spoils of war, fueling the advancement of the Crown of the Ocean.

nJi Chen approached the fallen player with a square face, his eyes narrowing as he squatted down to retrieve a fragmented bead.

nThis bead should be the treasure used by the player with a square face, allowing him to barely survive the first round of water blades. However, it seemed to be a one-time-use treasure.

nHe casually threw the bead away.

nShifting his gaze, when he saw two silver-white objects scattered on the ground, his brow furrowed.

nSuppressing his doubts, he took out the “I_Love_Black_Stockings” key from his backpack and compared it with the two objects.

nThese two silver-white objects were exactly the same as the key to the ancient ruins given by “l_Love_Black_Stockings”.

nWhether it was in appearance, color, or the energy fluctuations they contained, there was no difference at all.

nIt was like a perfect replica.

nJi Chen’s brow slowly relaxed.

nThese three keys should all be real, and the one given by “I_Love_Black_Stockings” was just one of the three keys.

nPerhaps it would take three or even more keys to open that ancient ruins.

nHe put all three keys into his backpack.

nNext, he had to occupy the other three territories. Time was pressing, so he wouldn’t continue to delay here.

nJi Chen walked towards the trembling residents and said calmly, “Follow me, understood?”

nThese residents nodded frantically, showing no signs of opposition.

nIn their eyes, Ji Chen was undoubtedly a more terrifying existence than the original lord. They had witnessed how the army of the original lord was slaughtered like pigs.

nWho would dare to oppose him?

nThey weren’t afraid of death?

nSeeing this, Ji Chen didn’t explain much either. He led this group of obedient residents towards another territory.

nSoon, the group arrived at another territory.

nThis territory was under the control of the Murloc hero Benbo. Compared to the scene created by Ji Chen’s ruthless actions, Benbo’s side appeared much calmer. Most of the enemy’s bodies were intact and neatly piled together.

nSeeing Ji Chen leading a large number of residents away, Benbo’s dead fish eyes lit up, and he quickly ran over.

n“My Lord, the enemy forces here have been taken care of.”

nJi Chen nodded, walked to the Lord Manor of this territory, and casually extracted all the resources. Then, he destroyed the territory.

nHe instructed Benbo, “Watch over these residents, send some troops to the other territory over there, and bring all the resources from there.”

n“Yes!”

nNext, Ji Chen continued to the last two territories, extracting resources in the same manner, destroying the territories, and plundering all the resources and population.

nWhen he returned to the territory of “l_Love_Black_Stockings” with a large amount of resources and a vast number of residents, “I_Love_Black_Stockings” was standing at the gate of the territory, her eyes filled with delight.

nShe hurriedly approached.

n“Big Boss Islander, have you taken care of them all?”

n“Yeah, you shouldn’t worry anymore, their territories have been completely destroyed..”

n
