Chapter 519: Changing Sides, Complete Corruption (2)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

However, looking into Ji Chens eyes, there was not as much resentment as before.

This wasnt the first time she was surprised by this Lord of Glory. Previously, she thought he left Feiguang City out of fear or something similar. But she hadnt expected that he wanted to entangle many Lords of Glory from the Ba.s.s Kingdom.

In fact, Ji Chen also achieved the purpose of this action, successfully delaying the defense of Feiguang City for a few days, directly or indirectly leading to the Ba.s.s Kingdoms comprehensive retreat.

In reality, she was the only outsider who knew that Ji Chen hadnt gone all out in that battle. If he wanted to, he could have retreated into the ocean, using the advantage of aquatic troops to annihilate the pursuing enemy, instead of stubbornly defending.

And the several heroic units accompanying him were each more powerful than the last.

The Naga hero on the surface was the strongest, even Katie couldnt see through his true strength and heroic tier.

The hero of an unknown race named Alice appeared fragile, but the sense of danger she brought was the most obvious.

The Murloc hero named Benbo was not to be underestimated either, displaying a dragon-like aura with every move, and the b.u.mp on his head hinted at his unusual bloodline.

And then there was the powerful little girl who resembled a whale

In Katies several months of observation among the Lords of Glory, none of them possessed such powerful heroic units and armies. There was a clear gap in strength between Ji Chen and the other Lords of Glory.

Katie couldnt help but feel curious.

What was the reason behind this significant strength gap?

Of course, this curiosity vanished instantly after she fell on her b.u.t.t, leaving only resentment.

I am a Revered Envoy, a high-ranking captive. How dare you treat me like this!?

When I return to the organization, Ill bring a million-strong army to crush you!

Ignoring her displeasure, Ji Chen asked directly, Why did you drive the Ba.s.s Kingdom to start this war?

Katie sneered. Do you think Ill tell you?

Ji Chen glanced at her and revealed a gentle smile.

Katie felt a strong sense of unease creeping over her. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly felt a pair of hands on her head.

Turning her head, she saw the hero named Alice staring at her coldly.

Alice is a Siren, born with the power to manipulate minds. I believe she can see what you have hidden in your mind.

Katie was left in shock, feeling like a tidal wave had washed over her as her mind raced with fear and uncertainty.

She tried guessing what race Alice was, but she had never expected her to be a Siren!

Sirens, the legendary deep-sea mythical race, were rarer than a handful of rare gems and they hadnt been seen by the world for more than a thousand years.

And youre telling her theres one right in front of her?

Is this some kind of a joke?

Seeing the depth in Alices eyes, a power that seemed to penetrate the soul, Katie involuntarily swallowed her saliva.

She knew that once her mind was forcibly invaded, her soul might not be destroyed, but there was a high probability she would become a simpleton.

But when she thought of her faith in the organization and her vows, she hesitated once again.

Ji Chen seized this opportunity and calmly said, Im not interested in what you Deceivers do. 1 only want information about the Ba.s.s Kingdom and this war.

As long as I get enough information, letting you go is not impossible. You probably know that my territory is located on a remote island in the open sea.

If 1 were to capture you and take you there, you might spend the rest of your life locked in a cage.

Ji Chens words made Katies expression tremble slightly, just the thought of that possibility was infinitely repulsive to her.

Her mind wavered in an instant.

Anyway, its just about the Ba.s.s Kingdom, and sharing some information shouldnt be a big deal right?

After a long silence, she finally spoke, What do you want to know?

Ji Chen raised a smile and quickly asked the first question, Did you control the Ba.s.s Kingdoms king through some means, causing him to launch this war?

Isnt that related to us?

Answer quickly, or the consequences will be severe, Ji Chen said with an unmistakable tone.

Katie froze and then fell into silence.

Seeing her reaction, Ji Chen immediately understood.

He then asked the second question, Does the Ba.s.s Kingdom have any hidden moves? Something that could completely change the situation?

Katie hesitated for a moment and replied, As far as 1 know, the Ba.s.s Kingdom has a secret army inherited from the previous king, numbering around ten thousand troops, and their strength is unknown, but at least at Tier 5, 7 stars or higher.

Ji Chens eyebrows twitched.

A secret army of around ten thousand troops, at least at Tier 5, 7 stars or higher. This was a force that couldnt be ignored, and it might have unimaginable impact at certain moments.

Next question

Ji Chen asked four or five more questions, none of which were related to the Deceivers, making Katies complexion improve considerably. At least it wouldnt force her to choose between becoming a simpleton or betraying the organization.

However, she didnt realize that, under this deliberate conditioning, her moral boundaries were gradually lowering.

From the initial firm stance of not saying anything, it gradually turned into a firm refusal to divulge anything about the organization.

Ji Chen observed all of this and nodded in approval.

After asking the final question, he knew better than to press further.

Pus.h.i.+ng too hard would only awaken Katies awareness, making it lose its meaning. To fully exploit her last ounce of value, she needed to fall completely into depravity.

Ji Chen didnt make things difficult and simply instructed Anina to continue watching Katie. Then, he left the place.

The next day, Ji Chen met with w.a.n.g Shanyue. As soon as they saw each other, w.a.n.g Shanyue warmly greeted him with excitement on his face.

Big Bro Ji Chen, no, Islander, you really kept me in the dark!

Ji Chen paused slightly, knowing that w.a.n.g Shanyue had found out through other sources, and replied, 1 didnt deliberately hide it; you just didnt ask.

w.a.n.g Shanyue jokingly scolded, Am 1 supposed to ask every random solo player I meet if theyre the Islander?

After some small talk, they got down to business.

Thanks to you, Ji Chen, that daughter of the Grand Duke sent a mission to our Shanyue Guild this morning.

The mission is to follow the Reinhardt army and launch a counterattack on the Ba.s.s Kingdoms mainland.

It seemed that this war was far from over. However, this was in line with the interests of the players. If the two countries had stopped fighting, they wouldnt have benefited from it.

Players from both the Ba.s.s Kingdom camp and the Reinhardt camp didnt want the conflict to end, especially w.a.n.g Shanyue, who had brought three million troops into the field.

Ji Chen was about to say something when a familiar voice reached their ears.

Lord Ji Chen, good morning.

They turned to see Monica approaching with a large group of maids and servants.

Ji Chen casually greeted her, but w.a.n.g Shanyue was more respectful in his response.

Monica, 1 heard that youre about to sound the horn for a counteroffensive?

Yes. Monica nodded, her eyes gleaming with excitement. The Th.o.r.ey Kingdom and the Pelan Kingdom have already pressed their armies to our borders. Once we finish our preparations, the three countries will collectively attack the Ba.s.s Kingdom and teach those ambitious invaders a lesson.

She blinked her big, innocent eyes and asked softly, Lord Ji Chen, will you continue to help us?

Ji Chen smiled confidently and said, Of course, there are still some matters to be clarified between me, the Ba.s.s Kingdom, and the Deceivers.

Monicas face lit up with a smile, and she clenched her small fist with determination. Thats great! With your a.s.sistance, we have even more confidence.

Ji Chens strength was well-known, and even the Reinhardt Grand Duchy couldnt ignore such a force.

Especially when Feiguang City was first besieged, those who had witnessed him in action couldnt possibly forget the scene of him summoning ma.s.sive waves that swept away tens of thousands of enemy soldiers.

Ji Chens power as an individual was equivalent to the strength of several tens of thousands of troops. This statement was by no means an exaggeration..
