Chapter 452: The Killing Begins, Gradually Changes in

Mentality, Dreadful and Monstrous Hiding Inside (2)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In all honesty, why would the Sirens, who live in the deep sea, be bothered by you folks on land who cant even breathe underwater on a regular basis?

As various hero units joined the battle, the sea beasts were horrified to find that they seemed to have a hard time suppressing these thousands of enemy units in this area.

How was this possible!?

They had overwhelming numerical superiority, even if they lost some before, they still had hundreds of thousands of them. Even if it was hundreds of thousands of sea creatures, they should be able to overwhelm the enemy, right?

But those few hero units were just too terrifying, like sharp arrows deeply embedded in their flesh, impossible to remove.

Even when the Tier 5 sea creatures rushed in, the result was the same: instant death.

At this moment, they felt weaker than pigs.

Whats even more distressing is that some of their kind seemed to have gone mad, suddenly attacking each other. This made these originally barbaric and frenzied sea beasts lose all their reason and start killing each other.

The front couldnt break through, and the rear turned into chaos.

The attacking force of the sea creatures, still numbering in the hundreds of thousands, became weaker and weaker.

As time pa.s.sed, the Crown of the Ocean army fought as if they had boundless energy, and many sea beasts were beheaded.

At first, the leaders of the sea beast units with some intelligence were indifferent and apathetic when they attacked, even if they vaguely knew they had fallen into a trap, they didnt care because they knew there was nothing that could stop their advance.

But soon, their mentality changed slightly. These obstructing enemies seemed to be stronger.

But it didnt matter; they would make a move.

As long as the fifth-tier sea beasts joined the battle, everything would start to improve.

Shortly after that, as they entered the fight but were met with a terrifying enemy ambush, resulting in countless casualties, they finally became panicked.

d.a.m.n, these enemies were a bit abnormal, why couldnt we beat them no matter how we fight?

After sacrificing the lives of hundreds of their own, they managed to inflict only minor injuries on the enemy. When facing such a vast power gap, its inevitable that anyone would feel utterly defeated.

They originally had the advantage, but now they were being beaten senseless.

That narrow defense line, like an ever-running meat grinder, ground the surging sea creatures into pulp, scattering and becoming nutrients for the ocean.

At this moment, they finally admitted that they felt a hint of fear. Even though there were still many of their kind, it couldnt give them a shred of security.

And what happened next completely crushed them.

Ji Chen looked at the still intense battle below and then at the sky.

Unknowingly, they were fighting all night. The dim sky gradually showed a glimmer of light, and although the sun had not yet risen in the distance, its selfless light had already spread out eagerly.

The time has dragged on for too long, its time to end this Ji Chen muttered to himself, gradually making up his mind.

At this point, the sea beasts had completely lost any chance of victory, and finis.h.i.+ng them was only a matter of time.

He decided to expedite that time.

Herald, all of you, fall back.

Upon hearing the order, several hero units that had already been slaughtering enemies in the enemy ranks did not hesitate to abandon their current opponents and fought their way back.

Ji Chen slowly raised his right hand, forming a clenched fist.

The next moment, the center of the sea beast tide began to rotate rapidly, turning into a swirling vortex.

This vortex expanded rapidly like a propeller, encompa.s.sing all the sea creatures within a kilometer in an instant. As the water continuously spun, the tremendous suction prevented them from escaping the vortexs capture.

Whether they were low-tier sea creatures or Tier 5 sea beasts, they had no resistance in the face of this terrifying vortex that appeared without warning.

At this moment, their lives no longer belonged to them.

If one were to dive into the water, they could see that this vortex extended several hundred meters deep, narrowing from top to bottom, connecting the surface of the sea to the deep ocean.

In this horrifying vortex, a large number of sea beasts were swept into the sea, continuing to rotate madly until they reached the bottom and were thrown out like garbage, lifeless.

This vortex continued until Ji Chen exhausted all his mana and finally slowed down. The sea surface returned to calm, but there was a significant reduction in the number of sea creatures on the battlefield.

The remaining sea creatures finally lost their sanity completely as the last strand of their rationality snapped. Eerie howls filled the air, and large groups of sea beasts began to panic and flee toward the rear. The ma.s.sive sea beast tide instantly disintegrated, turning into a disorganized retreat.

The speed of this retreat was even faster than their advance yesterday.

Ji Chen endured the discomfort of running out of mana and shouted loudly, Pursue the fleeing enemy and try to inflict as many casualties as possible!

The solid defensive line that had held for a day and night collapsed instantly. Legions broke down into smaller groups, chasing and killing the fleeing sea creatures.

Along the way, thousands more bodies were added to the battlefield, adding significantly to the achievements of the Crown of the Ocean.

It wasnt until the remaining sea creatures had completely fled from the Stars.h.i.+ne Islands that the forces of the Crown of the Ocean gradually returned.

Looking at the drifting sea creature corpses on the sea surface, the soldiers of the Stars.h.i.+ne Islands were momentarily stunned, their eyes filled with confusion and doubt.

Is it over?

The sea creature tide has been repelled?

Such a large group of sea creatures, and now theyve been defeated?

They all felt that this was somewhat unreal.

But soon, their bewilderment and doubt turned into excitement and jubilation.

The soldiers of the Stars.h.i.+ne Islands raised their weapons, as if they were venting the pent-up emotions, and cheered loudly.

We won!!!

The sea creatures have been repelled! Victory for the Stars.h.i.+ne Islands!

Hail to Miss Siren!!

The news of the victory quickly spread back to Stars.h.i.+ne City.

The shadow looming overhead dissipated, and all the residents came out of their houses, celebrating and rejoicing in the streets, letting out their joy of surviving the disaster.

Inside the council hall of Stars.h.i.+ne City.

When the news of successfully repelling the sea creature tide reached here, it made the previously quiet hall even quieter.

When the dusty soldiers brought the good news, what they saw were not the joyful expressions of the council members but rather more solemn faces.

After a moment of silence.

Hadman spoke with a dark expression, Did that army really repel the sea beast tide?

The soldiers suddenly felt something was amiss, but they quickly replied, Yes, Council President, that army did indeed defeat the sea beast tide. Most of the remaining sea creatures have already fled from the Star s.h.i.+ne Islands, and only a few scattered ones remain, which we can handle shortly.

So, how are their losses? Were they heavily damaged by the sea creatures?

They did suffer very severe losses, about one-third of the army perished, and over half of them have varying degrees of injuries.

Their physical strength, energy, and mana are almost depleted

Hadmans eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this, and he proceeded to ask many more questions, most of which were about the army rather than the aftermath of the sea beast tide.

This puzzled the soldier even more.

Shouldnt this be the time to inquire about the losses suffered by the Stars.h.i.+ne Islands or the post-sea creature tide issues?

Over ten minutes later.

Alright, you may leave now, Hadman said emotionlessly.

Although he felt that something was very wrong, the soldier still gave a salute and left the room.

The doors of the hall closed again, isolating the sounds from inside and outside.

The soldier shook his head and walked outside.

But as he remembered the many questions asked by Council President Hadman, a terrifying thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

Could it be that the council

As he thought about it, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and with a mixture of fear, resentment, and confusion in his eyes, he turned back to look at the closed doors of the council hall, as if something dreadful and monstrous was hiding inside..
