Chapter 449: Players Withdraw for the Time Being, Might of the Dragon Horn Catfish

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The arrival of the players was a pleasant surprise.

The sea creatures were suddenly under a barrage of firepower, and some of them turned their attention towards the players, charging forward.

However, the players were positioned on a cliff that was dozens of meters high, and the creatures couldn’t climb the nearly ninety-degree cliff wall. They could only claw at the air in frustration.

Seeing this, the casual players became even more enthusiastic, enjoying the thrill of exploiting the terrain.

The cannons roared, and arrows rained down.

Although the average level and tier of the third wave of sea creatures were higher than the previous two waves, most of them were still first, second, or third-tier. Except for a few with strong defenses, the rest couldn’t withstand the attacks of arrows and cannon fire. They perished one after another.

Even the fourth-tier creatures were heavily injured and became frenzied.

The Crown of the Ocean’s army firmly held the defense line. The narrow width of the area prevented the sea creatures from utilizing their numerical advantage, and most of them could only be targets for the players.

If they could speak, they would surely curse the despicable outsiders.

Ji Chen looked at the battlefield situation that was barely holding up and nodded slightly.

As long as they could hold the line in the early stages and prevent the sea creatures from breaking through, the rest would be easy. freeweb(n)ovel.co(m)

He looked at a few hero units eager to let their weapons be stained with sea creature blood and advised, “Don’t join the battle for now. The fifth-tier sea creatures haven’t launched an attack yet, and these lower-tier ones aren’t worth your efforts.”

Upon hearing this, Alice and the others suppressed their excitement and quietly watched the battle below.

This battle continued from day to night.

After the sun completely disappeared on the horizon, the world suddenly grew dark.

Perhaps the heavens weren’t being merciful, as tonight, the moonlight was blocked by layers of dark clouds, plunging the Starshine Islands into darkness. Only the torches lit by the players provided some illumination.

Fortunately, there were so many sea creatures that even if they fired spells and arrows haphazardly in the general direction, they could easily hit their targets. The efficiency of their output didn’t drop much.

However, as the players looked at the blood-red eyes of the sea beasts below, scattered throughout the bay like light bulbs, they couldn’t help but shiver with fear.

“Damn, they still look a bit scary…”

“There are way too many sea beasts. We’ve been killing them all day, and we’re still not done. My hands are almost worn out.”

“Damn it, I’m out of arrows. Do you guys have any left? Give me some.”

“I ran out of them too. Both arrows and cannonballs were used up a long time ago… Should we go back for resupply and come back tomorrow?”

As night fell, the players began to retreat. They had underestimated the sheer number of sea beasts, and the ammunition supplies were running low.

Moreover, most of them and their troops were experiencing fatigue after a day of continuous battle.

Although they knew it wasn’t the time to rest yet, they simply couldn’t go on.

Ji Chen also noticed this and didn’t display any disappointment; this situation was already part of his plan.

He signaled to Alice, and she quickly understood his intention.

Stepping forward, her crimson lips parted.

“Esteemed Lords of Glory from afar, I thank you for your contributions in defending against the sea beasts.

After a day of fierce battle, I have witnessed your fearless valor, and your courage shines brighter than the stars.

Therefore, let us take over from here.”

Her ethereal voice echoed throughout the battlefield, causing many players to stop and look at each other in surprise.

At this moment, a player shouted loudly, “We’ll go back to rest and resupply for a while, and we’ll be back soon!”

“That’s right, Miss, wait for me for one night, and tomorrow I’ll bring back an army of a hundred thousand to rescue you!”

“Hoo, hoo, hoo!”

Alice blinked in surprise and gave a faint smile.

These Lords of Glory might not be as powerful and wise as her lord, but they had their merits.

Soon, the players began to withdraw, taking their troops with them and returning to their territories for resupply.

Watching them leave and disappear into the night, Ji Chen took a deep breath and said with a smile.

“Next, it’s time for our performance.”

A hint of excitement appeared on the faces of the heroes; they had been eagerly waiting for this moment.

“Yes! We will bring you victory!”

With the players gone, they could finally unleash their full potential.

Indeed, they hadn’t fully exerted their strength before. After all, was the Crown of the Ocean’s army only this powerful?

A million sea beasts?

Certainly, the sheer numbers posed a significant threat, but facing troops that were all fifth-tier, they didn’t seem quite as intimidating.

This was evident in the resource consumption.

The main forces of the Crown of the Ocean had troops with the lowest tier, and the water nymph archers, which required the least rare resources, needed 900 units of such resources each.

In the player market, trading 900 units of rare resources could get him a significantly larger amount of common resources in return. By using these common resources to recruit lower-tier troops, he could amass a substantial number of units.

The gap between lower-tier and higher-tier troops was not just in terms of recruiting resources but also in the vast difference in strength and life levels.

A thousand lower-tier sea creatures couldn’t match a higher-tier unit!

As night fell.

Not only did the sea creatures go into a frenzy, but the Crown of the Ocean’s army also seemed to have completely unleashed themselves. Their gazes gradually turned icy and ruthless..
