Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Time passed quickly, and a month went by.

The situation in the main world was subtly changing, a heavy atmosphere quietly spread across the continents. Beneath the calm sea surface, turbulent undercurrents surged, and everyone sensed that something was amiss.

The hidden malice seemed to be drawing nearer.

Various orderly forces remained in a state of tense mobilization for war, deploying troops, preparing for long-term conflict with supplies, restarting war factories, mobilizing reserves…

Due to the vast landmass of this world, extracting resources from the expansive territories was no easy feat for any kingdom.

Even the Elven Empire, a top-tier force, had only mobilized a third of its army in a month, with many Elven lords still scattered across the vast lands, either reallocating resources or on their way to assemble.

And for kingdoms and duchies with lower mobilization capabilities, the situation was even more challenging. Prior to the official war declaration between the Lienhardt and Bass Kingdoms, it took nearly half a year for both sides to fully prepare.

However, unlike these indigenous forces, players were already geared up and ready. Millions of players displayed a surprising power that astonished all indigenous forces.

In units of one or several players, upon receiving tasks from the indigenous, they assembled small armies ranging from a thousand to ten thousand troops and launched raids and attacks on the evil forces entrenched across the continent.

Their achievements were remarkable.

They made the evil forces frantic. These glory lords were like cunning mice; they struck and then fled. By the time you mustered heavy troops to pursue, they had vanished without a trace.

They made the evil forces curse these despicable foreigners!

Yet the demons were confident in their own strength. Even with the premature exposure of many alliances of evil forces, they were undeterred.

The demons did not intend to expose the intention of instigating trouble through these evil force alliances. Now it seemed to be a case of fighting fire with fire, diverting the energy of the orderly fraction, forcing them to deploy troops for suppression and defense, and consuming military power and resources. This way, they could achieve the goal of weakening the forces of the orderly camp.

This was cunning strategy.

However, the appearance of players undoubtedly rendered such plans futile.

Orderly forces were astonished to find that with a certain reward, no supervision was needed. These players, fueled with energy like they were on a winning streak, rallied their armies and charged ahead, wreaking havoc and inflicting heavy casualties on the demon’s evil alliances. They didn’t even require deploying excessive troops.

What originally required a large expenditure of resources and troops to resolve and suppress now only required half the cost.

There was no need to go through the hassle of gathering resources or subjecting their own people to casualties. By simply offering a reward that they didn’t view as costly, they were more than willing to take on these challenging tasks.

Such a bloody gain!

This made many orderly forces applaud their integrity.

Players were satisfied with the rewards from the indigenous orderly forces, and the indigenous orderly forces were also pleased with the performance and service of the players.

Everyone was happy.

It was a win-win situation!

The external situation was changing rapidly, and the flames of war were igniting.

The Ocean Crown was also in a phase of accelerated development.

In the span of a month, with strong assistance from the subsidiary territories such as the Great Luminescent Sea and the Starshine Islands, the Ocean Crown steadily received a large amount of resources.

The Great Luminescent Sea extracted resources from the abyssal layers of darkness, totaling three million units of rare resources and one million units of spirit crystals.

With the joint efforts of the newly appointed Herman and Kieran on the Starshine Islands, they also generated a hefty profit, inputting a whopping four million units of rare resources.

All the rare resources purchased from the Lienhardt generations had also been accounted for, totaling six million units of rare resources.

In addition to this, the Ocean Crown’s own export of goods also brought in a considerable amount, totaling 1.5 million units of rare resources and 200,000 units of spirit crystals. These 200,000 units of spirit crystals were all obtained by selling top-grade merfabric.

All the income added up to a total of 14-5 million units of rare resources and 1.2 million units of spirit crystals. Adding the existing inventory, it totaled 16.6 million units of rare resources and 1.22 million units of spirit crystals.

Although most of the rare resources were used for the construction of the Heraklion Temple.

The Ocean Crown had few projects for resource output, besides the construction of wonders, another important part was recruiting troops.

Once a week, four recruitment opportunities in a month.

Recruiting nine types of troops consumed 532,000 units of rare resources and 181,200 units of spirit crystals, adding 3,380 troops. The Ocean Crown currently had a total of 18,710 main force troops, a full eighteen thousand soldiers.

Even if Ji Chen were to exclude the crab guardians, which were only fifth-tier troops, the remaining eight sixth-tier troops totaled 16,050, approximately sixteen thousand soldiers.

If such a force were deployed during the war between Lienhardt and the Bass Kingdom, not only could they easily crush the Bass Kingdom, but they could also annihilate Lienhardt in the process.

The Ocean Crown’s insistence on elite troops had shown increasingly powerful capabilities as time went on.

Each troop had the ability to overpower multiple, even dozens of adversaries on their own, and when confronted with lower-tier enemies, they displayed overwhelming strength..
