Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Convey my orders, everyone retreat!”

The soldiers who received this order had puzzled expressions. They were on the verge of capturing Feiguang City, so why suddenly call for a retreat? However, military orders were absolute. Despite their confusion and disbelief, many soldiers began commanding their troops to withdraw.

The once bustling battlefield now felt deserted, leaving the Feiguang City defenders dumbfounded. Though they didn’t know what had transpired, they couldn’t help but cheer.

A high-ranking officer from the Bass Kingdom who had been commanding on the front lines hurried back. He saw General Russell sitting with a stern expression in his command seat and asked, “Marshal, why are we retreating when Feiguang City is about to fall?”

Russell remained silent, simply tossing a letter to the officer. Another officer picked up the letter and read it, his face turning pale.

“Two days ago, the Royal First Fleet of Lienhardt Royal Duchy raided llkand City from a thousand miles away, interrupting internal and external communications and cutting off reinforcements.

One day ago, the Thorey Kingdom and the Pelan Kingdom accepted Lienhardt’s proposal and declared war on the Bass Kingdom. Their armies have already advanced to our borders.

…The expeditionary force must return at full speed to defend our homeland.” “How is this possible?” The officer expressed his disbelief, “How did they manage to do this?”

Russell looked weary. “Regardless of how, it’s a fact now. Our supply lines have been cut, and we not only have to halt the attack on Feiguang City but also withdraw our forces back home.

Though the Thorey and Pelan Kingdoms are relatively weak, their alliance is not to be underestimated. Once their armies threaten the safety of our capital, the politicians and ministers will surely use this as an excuse to challenge us.” The officers clenched their fists in frustration. They paid a heavy price for this expedition, with tens of thousands of soldiers dying far from home. But now, they were ordered to retreat like rats fleeing.

Russell saw the discontent in their eyes and a flame ignited in his own.

“We will return once more. None of this will defeat the great Bass Kingdom.

This land will eventually belong to us, and the mighty Bass Kingdom will reign supreme.”

“Report! The Bass Kingdom army is withdrawing!”

“Really?”

“Yes, we saw their camp has emptied.”

Sylvansai stood up from his chair, a mixture of confusion and joy on his face.

Great, Feiguang City had been saved!

A soldier added, “But they seemed to have left in great haste, leaving behind a lot of supplies…”

After the initial joy, Sylvansai stroked his chin in thought.

Russell had given up the almost easily acquired prize of Feiguang City, which meant there must be something even more important at play.

Before he could ponder further, a report came in.

“Lord, a messenger from Tressburg has arrived!”

Sylvansai’s eyes brightened. “Bring him in.”

A tired-looking messenger entered and handed over a letter sealed with a fiery emblem.

Sylvansai opened it immediately, and after reading the last word, his face gradually lit up with determination. He exclaimed “Good, good, good!” three times in succession.

Then, he dispelled the previous air of defeat, his eyes shining brightly.

“Convey my orders, send soldiers to a peninsula fifty kilometers west from here to assist with Lord Ji Chen!

Lord Ji Chen must be protected at all costs, as this is the second time he has helped us!”

“Yes!”

At this moment, Ji Chen was still leading the Ocean Crown forces in a fierce battle against the players.

Driven by the desire for rewards and their inner greed, they had become consumed by madness, determined to break through the abandoned town. Thousands of troops were thrown into this small peninsula, gradually sealing off the land inside and out.

Under the relentless assault that continued for days without respite, even the mighty Ocean Crown forces suffered losses.

Four-fifths of the Naga Guardians and Dragon Blood Murlocs fell, but the Lobster Guardian Knights and Dragon Horn Catfish remained intact.

Currently, in the entire abandoned town, only a small area near the tail end of the peninsula remains under their control, while the rest has already fallen Inside the abandoned church building, Ji Chen and a group of heroes stood, listening to the approaching sounds of battle through the shattered windows. Yes.

Up to this point, Ji Chen had not allowed advanced heroes like Alice and Herald to join the battle. For days, they relied on mid-tier heroes and regular troops to resist the enemy.

“Lord, why don’t we join the battle now? The enemy is almost at our doorstep,” Herald said, his hand on his chest, ready to fight.

Ji Chen shook his head gently.

“It’s not time yet.”

After several days of battle, he had a fairly good understanding of the approximate strength of these players and guilds. They mainly relied on sheer numbers rather than individual strength, posing little real threat.

If that was the case, he could delay for every moment possible.

And time was precisely what Feiguang City needed.

As he watched the system notifications of the Ocean Crown forces falling one by one, Ji Chen’s heart grew heavier. Just when he was considering unleashing the heroes to delay the final wave of attackers…

Suddenly, a loud eagle’s cry echoed in the sky, followed by dozens of flying units plummeting from above.

These players watched in astonishment as the indigenous army approached them without hesitation.

Soon, someone shouted, “The Bass Kingdom’s army has already retreated; these are the defenders of Feiguang City!”

This caused instant chaos among them. They came here to attack Ji Chen with confidence, relying on the Bass Kingdom’s army that was supposed to attack Feiguang City. Now that the Bass Kingdom’s army had retreated, did that mean they had to retreat too?

But as they looked at Ji Chen, who was pushed to a dead end, there was a sense of unease in their hearts.

Just a little bit more!

Many players were unwilling to give up and wanted to continue their assault during this last moment.

However, Ji Chen emerged from the abandoned church at this moment, calmly looking at the thousands of enemy soldiers in front of him, and the players behind them.

“All of you should leave now. I don’t want to kill more people.”

His calm demeanor in the face of such a massive army left many players stunned. Then, the leader of a small guild sneered.

“If you were to give us a little more time, you’ll meet your end here!”

Ji Chen looked at him and sighed.

“Do you think you’ve pushed me to a dead end?”

“Otherwise?” The leader of the small guild frowned. “I admit that your Tier 5 units are strong, but I’m afraid there aren’t many left now, right?”

“Your last reliance is about to be resolved by us!”

“That’s right!”

“Yes, give us a little more time, and your army, no matter how strong, will be slaughtered here!”

Ji Chen looked at the players who were determined and full of anger, feeling somewhat speechless.

They are pushing their boundary, aren’t they?

Then, he slightly relaxed his furrowed brows, opened his palms, and a vast amount of mana surged out. Strands of seawater floated in the air, lifting him up in front of everyone’s eyes, and more seawater condensed behind him. Suddenly, these players felt that something was amiss.

Their faces gradually stiffened, showing the emotion called shock.

A colossal ocean giant, several tens of meters tall, materialized behind Ji Chen.

It was clad in armor, holding a giant spear, and its eyes were cold and imposing as if it possessed the might of the heavens.

The sea surged, but it couldn’t shake the giant in the slightest, as they were one and the same.

The massive ocean giant raised its hand deliberately, aiming its colossal spear at the group of players who believed they were safe, anticipating the order to wipe them out instantly.

Watching this scene, the players’ scalps went numb, and their mouths went dry.

The units surrounding them couldn’t provide even a hint of security.

Damn it.

What he said was true; this person actually possessed such terrifying power.

Just as they were at a loss, Ji Chen spoke calmly.

“My name is Ji Chen, and my forum name is also known as the Islander. If you have any grievances or grudges, you can come to me directly.”

Huh?

Countless players were stunned.ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

Then a colossal wave of emotions surged within them.

They were fighting all this time, and it turned out they were fighting the Islander?!

The famous Islander!!!
