Upon hearing Tian Shu’s words, Ji Chen inexplicably felt a sudden unease.

His mind instantly recalled the warning given to him by the ghostly ship before – “They are about to return.”

Could they be referring to these demons, whose nature was rooted in slaughter and destruction, or even those evil deities defeated in the ancient war?

However, according to Tian Shu, the evil deities should have been sealed away by the orderly deities in the depths of chaos, and they shouldn’t reappear.

Ji Chen shook his head, pushing these thoughts aside. Without sufficient evidence to support the argument, it would remain baseless and false.

Seeing Ji Chen deep in thought, Tian Shu couldn’t help but ask, “Big boss, what’s on your mind?”

Ji Chen shook his head, and at that moment, an elven communication officer hurriedly approached from the direction of the elven command post, looking anxious.

“Lord Islander, Commander Theodore has askedto remind you to beware of demon ambushes!”

“…Thank you for the warning, but it’s no longer necessary.” Ji Chen pointed to the ground and continued, “Tell Sir Theodore that the legendary-tier demon slayer is unlikely to appear on the battlefield again in the short term.”

The elven communication officer looked at the scattered demon corpses in astonishment.

The demons were nearly at the sixth tier, with a strong ambush ability. There were only two to three hundred of them, and judging from the corpses on the ground, about half of them seemed to have perished here.

It appeared that not only did the demons cause no trouble to Lord Islander, but they also suffered a severe beating.

The elven communication officer’s face showed a hint of admiration, and he spoke with a respectful tone, “1 understand. I will convey your words exactly as you said to Commander Theodore.”

With that, the elven communication officer hurriedly departed, and the battle continued.

However, what stood out as unusual was that while there were still a significant number of orcs landing on other battlefronts, the Ocean Crown army and Tian Shu group appeared to have somehow avoided any orc landings. The orc landing ships seemed to deliberately avoid them, as though they were steering clear of a contagious disease, and instead, they headed straight for other battlefronts.

This left Ji Chen somewhat bemused. He had no choice but to give orders, “Anina, take your troops and go assist the other fronts.”

“Yes!”

Several heroes nodded and led their troops away.

The addition of the Ocean Crown’s forces significantly relieved the pressure on nearby fronts, stabilizing the somewhat precarious defenses.

Tian Shu watched this scene and couldn’t help but smile. “Lord Islander, with this trend, we might actually be able to hold the Panas Coast and complete this instance.”

However, Ji Chen shook his head and said, “It’s not that simple.”

“Huh!?”

“Didn’t you notice that the completion percentage of the instance hasn’t increased at all?”

Tian Shu and his group were taken aback and quickly checked.

Sure enough, after their earlier rescue mission for Theodore, despite the 10% increase, the completion percentage had remained stagnant up to this moment!

The completion percentage was crucial for determining the rewards, and having only 10% certainly didn’t promise anything good!

“Did we miss something?” Tian Shu and his companions pondered anxiously.

Ji Chen stroked his chin and explained, “In accordance with the normal course of history, during the Battle of Panas, the elves and humans did not manage to stop the invasion of the orc army, and the entire army was annihilated, involving many factors.

Besides the disparity in military strength between the two sides, there is another extremely important factor, which the instance hint has already informed us about.”

Tian Shu and the others suddenly realized, exclaiming, “It’s the sea tribes!”

Ji Chen lightly snapped his fingers and said, “Exactly, the key to victory in this war lies in maintaining the neutrality of the sea tribes; they are the game-changers!”

You couldn’t know how many sea tribes were in the ocean, just like you couldn’t count the grains of sand in the desert. The number of sea tribes in the sea was a mystery, even to the sea tribes themselves.

Natural geographical barriers in the ocean made it difficult for land-dwelling creatures to enter the deep sea, providing the sea tribes with a haven away from the ravages of war.

While sea tribes adhered to a principle of neutrality in the early and middle stages of the divine war, neither assisting the orderly side nor the evil side, they did indeed enjoy a relatively peaceful existence for a long period.

However, in the later stages of the divine war when everyone went mad, the evil side cultivated a large number of troops capable of adapting to underwater environments to support the war and launched a massive invasion. The sea tribes, who had been caught off guard, suffered countless casualties and extermination of their clans.

In the end, it was the intervention of the divine beings from the orderly divine lineage that allowed the sea tribes to catch their breath and gather their clans to resist the evil camp. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs NovᴇlFɪre.nᴇt

Therefore, the sea tribes were definitely worth wooing as allies. If they had joined the orderly divine camp earlier, the activity range of the evil camp would have been greatly reduced wherever there was seawater, and the orderly divine camp could have reached any part of the world through a network of interconnected waterways.

Of course, in this instance, they didn’t need to do everything comprehensively; they only needed to persuade the sea tribes to join the war in this instance.

After listening, Tian Shu furrowed his brow and asked, “So how do we persuade the sea tribes to join us? After all, history is history, and even if we tell them that the evil camp will invade in the future, I doubt they’ll believe it..”
