The soldier recalled that the masked woman who fought with them earlier was actually a Siren, and the mysterious master did not intervene, despite having immense power.

However, as he considered whether to report this to the council, he couldnt help but think about the council members actions.

There was some confusion and resentment in his heart.

That Lord and his army had fought side by side for a whole day and night, finally driving the sea beast tide away.

And those in the council had been hiding here comfortably, even prepared to flee at any moment.

But that wasnt the main issue.

They plotted to strike against that esteemed lord when he was weakened.

Was this still the Stars.h.i.+ne City Council he knew and understood?

It seemed that over the centuries, the Stars.h.i.+ne City Council had gradually lost its former ambition and glory, becoming a reptilian ent.i.ty that fed on the rotting fles.h.!.+

At this moment, an unexpected thought crossed their minds.

What if they let the Lord kill those high and mighty council members? Perhaps the future of the Stars.h.i.+ne Islands would be brighter.

On the other side.

The Crown of the Oceans forces, after completely defeating the sea beast tide and driving the remaining sea beasts out of the Star s.h.i.+ne Islands waters, were tallying the casualties from this battle.

Due to the partic.i.p.ation of many Tier 5 sea beasts in the later stages of the battle, even with the involvement of several strong heroes of the Legacy Tier, the Crown of the Oceans forces suffered significant damage.

Among them, the Nagas, Dragon Blood Legion, and Knight Legion, who formed the front line, suffered the most significant losses, with a quarter of their forces dead, and the survivors mostly sustaining various injuries.

In contrast, the Guardian Legion, which had always been in the rear, suffered fewer losses, but still lost two to three hundred members due to the attacks of some Tier 5 sea beasts from a distance.

Overall, there were some discrepancies between these casualties and the soldiers report.

After all, they didnt expect that the Ocean Crowns forces, which were supposed to die according to human standards, with numerous fist-sized b.l.o.o.d.y holes all over their bodies, more than pores, would be able to survive and rapidly recover from their injuries at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed.

However, if one were to count the thousand-plus Tier 4 Soulbound Servant Legion, which was sacrificed to delay the enemy and considered them a loss, the casualty rate was close to a third.

But Ji Chen had no feeling of pity.

These losses were only temporary. When they returned to the New Moon Islands, he could use the Resurrection Altar to revive all the fallen soldiers, and they would once again form complete legions.

In simple terms, they were good comrades who could be resurrected all at once with a few thousand precious resources.

As the sun began to rise from the distance, the players who had gone back to rest and resupply last night arrived belatedly.

Many people had a restless night, thinking about what would happen if this indigenous army couldnt hold back the sea beasts. In that case, they would all be in serious trouble together.

Therefore, most players gathered and prepared to set out again as the sunlight began to spread.

However, as soon as they returned, they only saw the sea filled with the corpses of sea beasts.

Not a single one was alive.

Confusion washed over them.

What the heck? What happened to the sea beasts?

Did they finish the fight? I remember there were still tens of thousands left. Could they have broken through and entered Stars.h.i.+ne City?

Looking at the indigenous army cleaning up the battlefield, many players suddenly remembered the extreme red light that could be seen even from the northernmost part of Stars.h.i.+ne Islands last night, coming from this direction.

A crazy idea crossed their minds.

Could it be that this indigenous army had already defeated the sea beast tide?

But how was that possible? How could they kill so many sea beasts in just one night?

Even if there were hundreds of thousands of pigs, it would take three days and nights to catch them, let alone kill tens of thousands of them.

To confirm their speculation, the masked woman appeared again on the cliff and spoke loudly.

The remaining attacking sea beast tide has been defeated by us, and the sea beast crisis in the Stars.h.i.+ne Islands is officially over.

Thanks to the contributions of you, the Lords of Glory, in resisting the sea beasts, as a reward, our master has instructed me to give all these sea beast corpses to you. You can pick them up as you like, no need to be polite.

Hearing this, the players faces suddenly became a bit strange. It felt like they were the real masters of the Stars.h.i.+ne Islands from the tone of her speech.

But this statement also instantly excited them. Just the sea beast corpses floating here numbered at least four to five hundred thousand.

Sea beasts werent tiny creatures youd find on land; they were ma.s.sive, almost like theyd been pumped full of growth hormones. Even the smaller ones could provide hundreds of servings of food, and the larger ones could yield thousands. There were plenty of them to go around.

Roughly estimating, there were at least a million units of food here.

It seemed like they wouldnt run out of food to eat until next year!

However, players were well aware of their own contributions. Rather than saying they helped resist the sea beasts, it was more accurate to say they just tagged along for some damage and experience.

The main credit for defeating the sea beast tide belonged to this indigenous army.

The generosity of this indigenous army made these players feel a bit embarra.s.sed, but their goodwill towards them grew significantly.

If players had a goodwill data display, there would probably be a +1 goodwill appearing over their heads right now.

These indigenous folks were something else!

They were genuinely willing to give away good things!

This was much better than those sly old bureaucrats in Stars.h.i.+ne City..
