The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

Chapter 585: Lord of the Waves, This Is Part of the Plan

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

As for the dozen or so fleeing Lobster Sea Clan members, they were probably just a small tribe lurking nearby. Even their leader was killed, so there was no real threat.

Lord of the Waves quickly brushed this matter aside and continued to imagine a better future.

However, what Lord of the Waves didn’t know was that this place had recently experienced a sea beast tide. All the sea clans and sea creatures in the nearby waters had been moved to the northern seas, leaving behind only a handful of sea creatures.

Moreover, they were regularly cleared out by the Crown of the Ocean, so the organized sea clan tribes were naturally reduced.

New Moon Islands.

The residents were in a hurry, and even the air carried a sense of urgency.

Half a day ago, the territory had issued a level two warning, and everyone knew that a powerful hostile army had appeared less than a hundred miles away in the sea.

Although the Crown of the Ocean had not been discovered yet, once it was, the rich and beautiful New Moon Islands would undoubtedly be coveted by this army, and everything would be looted and destroyed.

However, no one felt fear or wanted to flee. Through countless trials and tribulations, they developed unity and the courage to face any difficulties.

Everyone had their own roles and responsibilities.

At times, they would glance at the castle standing in the center of the territory. This twas no exception, as everyone believed that their lord could lead them to victory once again and overcthis crisis.

“Has the reconnaissance team been sent out?”

Alice nodded.

“We’ve already dispatched ten teams of ten people each. Based on the preliminary information we received, the unidentified sea clan army doesn’t seem to be immediately focused on starting a battle. They appear to be more interested in building a camp, and it’s quite large, covering an area of about half a kilometer in length and width.”

Ji Chen stroked his chin thoughtfully.

“I recall that the sea area there didn’t have any large islands, at most a few rocky islets for migratory birds to roost. How did they manage to construct such a large camp?”

Alice shook her head in puzzlement, equally baffled by the question.

Ji Chen quickly set aside this issue. Currently, the most important thing was to prepare for the impending threat.

It could be imagined that once this camp was completed, the unidentified sea clan army was very likely to launch attacks and conquests in the surrounding waters, bringing them under their rule.

And the New Moon Islands, less than a hundred miles from the camp, would undoubtedly be their target.

Rather than waiting for others to point their weapons at them, it was better to take the initiative and fight for control.

Ji Chen began to contemplate how to face the nearly one hundred thousand well-trained sea clan army, the unknown number of enemy hero units, and a leader who had not yet appeared but likely possessed great power.

The advantage that the Ocean’s Crown currently held was that the enemy was in the open while they remained hidden. The opposing side was unaware of the existence and strength of the Ocean’s Crown.

This primarily capitalized on information asymmetry.

Furthermore, it seemed that the enemy didn’t care much about the Lobster Guard hundred-man squad sent earlier. They hadn’t dispatched any pursuit forces, to sextent, indicating their confidence in their own strength and a lack of concern for retaliation. This might have presented an opportunity.

Gathering all the favorable, unfavorable, and exploitable information…

Ji Chen’s index finger rhythmically tapped on the tabletop. In his mind, the rough outline of a plan quietly took shape.

“What day is it today?”

Alice hesitated for a moment and then replied, “Today is the twenty-ninth day of this month, and in one more day, we’ll enter the next month.”

Ji Chen nodded. After one more month, the Resurrection Altar would refresh its activation count, which meant they would have two more opportunities to resurrect a total of ten thousand units.

This was a turning point.

At this moment, the reconnaissance team sent back another message.

The unidentified sea clan army was actively searching for ordinary sea clan members, seemingly to escort them to the construction site of their camp.

This revelation excited Ji Chen; it seemed like a golden opportunity.

He immediately issued orders.

“Alice, send several teams of Murloc Rangers to roam near the camp. Instruct them to pretend to be ordinary sea clan members living in the vicinity.”

Alice quickly grasped Ji Chen’s intentions and nodded, saying, “I’ll take care of it right away.”

“Wait, also send a hundred-man squad of Lobster Guards to that location. Have an elite-tier hero lead them and tell them to join because they admire the enemy’s strength.

Let’s test the enemy’s attitude first, and if there’s an opportunity, we’ll continue to infiltrate more of the Crown of the Ocean’s forces.”

“I understand.” Alice understood, and she exchanged a knowing look with Ji Chen, seeing a hint of cunning in his eyes.

The five Murloc Ranger squads and a hundred-man squad of Lobster Guards set off promptly.

The former pretended to roam in the area and were captured by Lord of the Waves’ troops, who were out to capture able-bodied individuals to work at the camp.

The latter, however, were discovered before they could get close. They were surrounded by a patrol of five-tier sea creature Knights of the Sea Horses. “What are you doing here!?”

The leading hero, a green-elite-tier Lobster Guard, immediately put on a fearful expression and explained using the words Ji Chen had taught him.

“We’re here to join you!”

“To join us?”

Seeing the enemy’s puzzled expressions, he continued, “Our leader led a hunting party through this area, and you killed him. Our Green Armor Tribe lost our leader, and we can’t survive in this sea anymore, so we wanted to join you!”

Hearing this, the commander of the Knights of the Sea Horses suddenly realized.

I see. Indeed, there was a Lobster Sea Clan similar to these ones killed by them earlier, known as the Green Armor Tribe.

As for them wanting to join, it wasn’t surprising at all.

Sea clans don’t hold the ssense of honor and disgrace as human or elf land races. In the brutal ocean, when a tribe leader is killed, it’s quite normal for the tribe to submit to a stronger power for protection.

The one with the stronger fist is the natural leader, and that makes perfect sense.

The centurion didn’t have many doubts at the moment. After all, these Lobster Sea Clan members were at least five-tier mounted units, much stronger than the mere four-tier servile troops.

Since they wanted to join because they admired their strength, it seemed there was no reason to refuse.

“Alright, cwith us to meet the master. If the master agrees, you’ll becone of us!”

And so, this hundred-man squad of Lobster Guards was led back and brought in front of the enormous water tornado.

The Centurion of the Knights of the Sea Horses respectfully said, “Master, these Lobster Guards wish to join you!”

The gaze that emerged from the water tornado was somewhat skeptical. Other sea clans would run when they saw him, so why were these sea clans coming to him willingly?

However, after hearing the explanation from the Centurion of the Knights of the Sea Horses, the skepticism in the eyes of the water tornado diminished significantly. “Hahaha, very good, you’ve made a wise choice!

You are a five-tier unit. I allow you to form your own independent hundred-man squad and infiltrate the ranks of the servile troops for combat.”

The elite-tier Lobster Guard hero immediately said anxiously, “Thank you for your generosity and kindness!”

“Go then.”

The group of sea clan members quickly left, and a hint of darkness flashed in the depths of the Lobster Guard hero’s eyes. They were told to form their own squad, but in reality, they were placed in a very peripheral position, not much better than the four-tier servile troops, serving as cannon fodder.

Clearly, the Lord of the Waves hidden within the water tornado wasn’t so easily convinced, but this was already within the expectations of the higher-ups, and everything was proceeding according to plan.

Seeing the Centurion of the Knights of the Sea Horses looking somewhat dejected, the Lobster Guard hero couldn’t help but speak up to comfort him.

“It’s normal. As long as you can slay the enemy and earn military merits afterward, you’ll soon be integrated into our regular army.

As fellow mounted units, I have high hopes for you!”

Seeing this, the heroic Lobster Guard Knight couldn’t help but curse those fools in his heart. Thinking about the plan the master had told him, he felt extremely excited.

This is part of the plan!

At this moment, he pretended to muster sspirit, nodding quickly, and a spark of determination seemed to ignite in his eyes.

The Centurion of the Knights of the Sea Horses nodded approvingly at this, thinking to himself that the young ones can be taught.

When Ji Chen received a report from the reconnaissance team that the hundred-man squad of Lobster Guards had successfully infiltrated the enemy ranks, a smile couldn’t help but appear on his face.

The most crucial step of the plan had been executed smoothly!
