732 Eliminate Hidden Dangers, Level 59 (2)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

During this period, the armies and heroes of the Ocean Crown remained active, often on the move.

On the land, there was a coalition of demons, and similarly, there were also evil forces in the sea. Thousands of years ago, a sea-dwelling race turned against the orderly fraction and aligned themselves with the evil faction—the evil Naga clan.

Although the evil Naga clan was a member of the evil fraction, they chose to retreat to the depths of the ocean to avoid the reckoning of the orderly fraction because they were suppressed after the demon’s defeat.

In fact, it was because of the geographical barrier of the ocean that these betrayers managed to preserve their tribes. They thrived and multiplied in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, and even prospered.

However, this evil tribe that had not been thoroughly cleansed and hurt finally faced sanctions.

Using a troop as a legion, led by a legendary-tier hero or a legacy-tier hero, they attacked the evil Naga tribes entrenched in various places in the Eastern Pacific Ocean.

In the central part of the Eastern Pacific, in the deep sea, there was a medium- sized Naga tribe.

The muddy seabed and the surging water broke the tranquility that had been maintained here for hundreds of years.

Teams of ocean blood dragons suddenly emerged from the darkness, using dragon flames that could still bum fiercely underwater, mercilessly incinerating everything here.

Countless evil Naga, with grim faces, were burned to ashes by the dragon flames amidst their wailing and suffering.

The commanding hero, Benbo, looked on coldly at all this, transforming into a dragon form to destroy the chieftain of this tribe of evil Naga, bestowing upon them an equal destruction.

Similar scenes occurred in various places in the ocean.

The Naga Iron Colossus, the Sea Crystal Wyrm, the Dragon Horn Beast… Several armies split up and quickly eliminated the evil Naga tribes scattered all over with astonishing efficiency and overwhelming strength.

This time, it was not only to eliminate hidden dangers in advance for resisting demons but also to level up the Ocean Crown’s main army.

By the time the tasks and goals were mostly completed, the average level of the Ocean Crown’s main army had reached level 53. Although there was still a considerable gap from the sixth-tier limit of level 69, it was already not far off from the average level of the main army of top forces like the Elven Empire.

In addition, the various heroes leading the army also had an average level of 55, with Alice already reaching level 57, just three levels away from 60.

As the commander of all the armies and heroes of the Ocean Crown, Ji Chen’s level had always been a long-standing topic of interest, not only among players but also among indigenous inhabitants.

According to the calculated formula based on experience gained, lords would receive a certain proportion of experience from the kills made by their troops.

However, the amount of experience accumulated from so many troop kills was also extremely substantial and objective. At the top of the experience chain, Ji Chen’s level had now reached a high of 59, just one step away from level 60.

Player lords could gain experience from the kills made by their troops, which meant they could level up even if they sat at home, and this speed would increase as the number of troops increased.

This was in stark contrast to indigenous lords, who needed to train and kill on their own to increase their strength.

While indigenous lords had to actively seek out opportunities to level up, player lords could level up passively. Therefore, as long as they could hold onto their territory until now, player lords generally wouldn’t have low levels.

The stronger the territory, the stronger the personal strength of the player, this was a law.

Ji Chen, who stayed in his territory, could see continuous prompts of enemies killed coming from the upper left corner of the lord interface. With each prompt flashing by, the experience bar subtly moved forward.

A small curve formed at the corner of his mouth involuntarily.

It was very satisfying to be able to grow in strength while sitting down like this.

Every time he surpassed ten levels, he would automatically comprehend a new skill. Now that the experience bar was already filled one-fifth, all he needed to do was to fill this level of experience, and then he could comprehend another gold-tier skill.

After calming down, Ji Chen stepped towards the construction site of the Temple of Heraklion.

After more than two months of construction, this miraculous building was also about to reach the point of comprehensive completion. Workers from the Ocean Crown were bustling about, constructing the spire atop the temple’s pinnacle. It was expected to be completely finished today.

The construction of the Temple of Heraklion had already invested millions of units of rare resources in the early stage. It wasn’t until the various profits were received that its construction could continue. Up to now, it had invested as much as fifteen million units of rare resources!

This amount of resources was enough to produce another legendary-tier hero for the Ocean Crown!

Not only did residents of the Ocean Crown come to stop and watch around, but even foreign merchants, indigenous people, and players came over, eager to witness the completion of this magnificent building.

With a group of members from the King Kong Island guild, I_Love_Black_Stockings gazed at the Temple of Heraklion from the rooftop of the inn, sighing.

The Kobold strategist exclaimed, “Damn, it must have cost a lot of resources to build this wonder. He really bears to use all those resources for it.”

I_Love_Black_Stockings glanced at him and said, “Since the Big Boss Islander is willing to spend so many resources on construction, it means that the benefits brought by this wonder are definitely much greater than this amount of resources.”

It’s evident just from the name that this is the pinnacle “wonder” in the construction plans, a distinctive building that offers a range of benefits and effects, unquestionably valuable.

Currently, the only known wonder building built by players was this “Temple of Heraklion”. All others were built by indigenous people, including the elf’s “Life Ancient Tree”, the dwarves’ lost “Sun Furnace”, the gnomes’ “Gigantooth City”, and so on.

Therefore, the Ocean Crown, which owned it, was still very much in the spotlight of the players.

Amidst the chatter, the last piece of material was installed on the spire’s pinnacle.

Suddenly, the entire building emitted a majestic and vast aura, as if it had come to life.

An invisible force field quickly spread out from its center, completely covering the entire New Moon Islands and the nearby sea.

“Ding- Wonder Building: Temple of Heraklion completed!”

“Ding- Your core territory: Ocean Crown will receive the following benefits:

1. 50% reduction of materials needed in recruiting oceanic troops within the territory.

2. Keep the populace’s morale fixed at above 95 points; the subjects will never betray.

3. Greatly increase the attractiveness of the territory, greatly attracting refugees, merchant caravans, and marine hero units from the outside world.

4. Within the range of the wonder’s influence, the subjects will gain the ability to operate underwater.”

Ji Chen was also a bit thrilled. This colossal wonder, towering dozens to hundreds of meters high, would soon stand as the unmistakable landmark of the New Moon Islands, akin to a lighthouse, visible from miles around.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he had a thought.

Checking its functions.

In addition to the four benefits mentioned above, the Temple of Heraklion can also recruit a batch of guardian troops every week:

Special Effect: (D Produce exclusive unit – Heraklion Guards (Sixth Tier, Six Stars) every week without consuming resources. These units cannot leave the temple’s vicinity of ten kilometers. Fifty units are recruited every week.

Without hesitation, Ji Chen recruited fifty Heraklion Guards.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the onlookers, the temple gates slowly opened, and monstrous beasts, the size of trucks, covered in scales, with meat wings on their backs and lion-headed dragon horns, walked out.

Cruelty and coldness were reflected in their blood-red pupils.

Arranged in groups of ten, fifty Heraklion Guards lined up in front of Ji Chen, lowering their heads like obedient dogs and bowing their bodies to show submission.

Ji Chen looked at these fierce beasts, which almost had a “not easy to provoke” sign written all over their faces, feeling quite satisfied. Although the sixth tier was no longer the strongest unit of the Ocean Crown, being able to recruit fifty of them every week was still good.

These Heraklion Guards would be the local defense force of the Ocean Crown in the future. With their strength at the sixth tier and six stars, they were enough to deter most outsiders with malicious intentions.
