nChapter 283: Elves Join the Battle, the Smoke of War

nTranslator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

nJust after leaving the Lord’s castle, the elves witnessed a sudden “commotion” in the entire Crown of the Ocean, looking somewhat bewildered.

n“Your Excellency, what’s happening?”

n“Some evil sea creatures are preparing to attack the Crown of the Ocean. It might be dangerous to stay here. You should follow the residents to the caves for safety.”

nThe elves nodded but didn’t leave. Instead, they spoke with determination, “Please let us join the battle!”

n“You?” Ji Chen frowned, “You are guests; there’s no need for guests to fight.”

nOne of the elves stepped forward and explained with a salute, “Your Excellency, you rescued us from the gnomes, and we still don’t know how to repay you. So, let us fight alongside you this time.

nThough we are young, we’ve undergone rigorous training within our clan. Just provide us with bows and arrows, and we can contribute to the fight!”

nSeeing their determination, Ji Chen couldn’t refuse and nodded, saying sternly, “I can allow you to join the battle, but you must obey my orders. Any disobedience will be treated as insubordination!”

n“Understood!”

nAs the elven women reemerged, they were clad in practical leather armor, wielding robust bows, and had two quivers of arrows slung over their shoulders. Additionally, they had a short sword fastened to their waist and a dagger secured to their lower legs.

nThe once delicate elven women had transformed into resolute elven female warriors.

nElven Rangers

nRace: Elves

nTier: Fourth Tier, 3 Stars

nSkills: Elven Archery (Purple Skill, greatly enhances shooting accuracy, technique, and speed)

nRapid Shot (Purple Skill, allows rapid consecutive shots of three arrows)

nHawkeye (Purple Skill, significantly improves dynamic and static vision)

nElven Swordsmanship (Purple Skill, enhances melee combat ability)

nUnit Traits: Children of the Jungle (Attributes increase by 75% in jungle battles, with an additional 50% increase in movement speed and agility, and a significant improvement in stealth)

nElven Rangers are the backbone of the elven race and their combat abilities in the jungle strike fear into their enemies.

nThe panel for these Elven Rangers was quite impressive. Being fourth-tier with three stars, their tier was relatively high. When combined with their jungle combat attributes, their overall strength might even surpass that of the Naga Berserkers.

n“Your Excellency, the Elven squad reports to you!”

nWith the situation urgent, Ji Chen wasted no time and gave his orders, “Your task is to make use of your advantage in jungle warfare and eliminate any Sea Heirs entering the jungle!”

nThe elves nodded and swiftly disappeared into the jungle.

nAt this moment, the Sky Guardians were already soaring in the sky, closely monitoring the surrounding seas.

nThe Warning Lighthouse could detect above the sea surface but couldn’t penetrate below to monitor underwater enemies.

nNo one knew how many Sea Heirs were approaching right now.

nA large number of Ocean Guardians, like scattered beans, spread out, forming a web that covered the surrounding seas. This served both for reconnaissance and to slow down the Sea Heirs’ advance, allowing the residents of the Crown of the Ocean to complete their evacuation and find refuge.

nJi Chen suddenly felt a tremor in his body, his expression turning serious.

n“What’s wrong, my lord?” Alice asked in a hushed voice.

n“The Ocean Guardians positioned to the northwest, west, and southeast of the New Moon Islands have been destroyed, more than ten of them.”

nAs his words fell, the heroes exchanged uneasy glances.

nBefore the Sea Heirs’ previous attacks had only occurred in the eastern sea, but this time, they simultaneously appeared in multiple directions, suggesting that the Sea Heirs seemed to have a “brain” directing them.

nAt this moment, in the depths of a secluded trench at the edge of the Stormy Sea, a massive fleshy mass with hundreds of tentacles lay silently on the trench floor, its tentacles trembling slightly with the flow of seawater.

nEach tremor conveyed information to a group of Sea Heirs hundreds of miles away, and the enormous fleshy mass served as the perfect receptor, transmitting the information collected by thousands of Sea Heirs.

n“Children…attack…exterminate…”

n“Human…consume…evolve!”

nInside the Lord’s Manor.

nAnina’s expression was extremely serious.

n“This time, there must be a Sea Heir leader commanding them from behind; otherwise, they couldn’t have this kind of intelligence to launch attacks from multiple directions!

nSea Heirs without a leader are just a group of brutes who only know how to rampage, but Sea Heirs with a leader are the most cunning hunters, significantly increasing the level of danger!

nDuring my days of solitary sea exploration, I encountered a Sea Heir tribe numbering only a few thousand members, led by a Sea Heir chief. They managed to utterly obliterate a Naga tribe, which boasted a population of over a hundred thousand. The entire Naga tribe fell victim to the Sea Heirs, serving as their sustenance.

nSo, Your Grace, you must stay vigilant and never underestimate this Sea Heir leader!”

nSeeing Anina so serious, Ji Chen also shook his head. “There’s no need to worry about this. I’ve already put all our troops on the highest alert. There are patrols and guards on every inch of land on New Moon Islands.

nEven if we can’t defeat the Sea Heirs, I’ve also drawn a 4,000-strong army of Lizardmen warriors, which should hold them off for quite some time.

nMoreover, Anina, with me here, you don’t need to be so nervous..”
