Chapter 589: The Might of the Resurrection Altar, Giant Turtle! (2)

After all the centurions had departed, Lord of the Waves gazed down upon the camp that was bustling not far away.

Rows of spell towers and arrow turrets, constructed with special materials, rose from the edges of the camp, s.h.i.+mmering with the radiance of magic. Once the enemy approached, they would unleash a terrifying barrage of spells.

At the center of the camp, a towering structure, akin to the legendary Tower of Babel, was under construction. Out of the one-third of the camp it currently occupied, only a quarter had been completed, standing at around sixty to seventy meters tall.

This towering structure served as his palace and a formidable magical artillery platform.

Once it was completed and he took residence, its firepower would cover a radius of a hundred miles at sea. Any enemy approaching would face a barrage of devastating magical attacks.

At that moment, the foundation for his oceanic kingdom would be laid, and no one could stop him from reigning supreme over these waters!

Sixty miles to the west of this location, within the ruins of an underwater basin.

A battle was raging.

A battalion from the regular army of Lord of the Waves, consisting of a thousand soldiers, along with three battalions of servant-army soldiers, were defending against an onslaught from the Ocean Crown’s forces, using the ruins as their stronghold.

The centurion in command of the regular army was shouting himself hoa.r.s.e, directing the defense to prevent the enemy from entering the ruins.

Just moments ago, they had arrived in this sea area to conduct a search and, coincidentally, discovered that this ruin held a substantial amount of resources. However, as they sent the servant-army soldiers inside to search, the enemy suddenly appeared, surrounding them from the outside.

How did he not see through this!?

d.a.m.n it, it was a trap set by the enemy, and they were just waiting for them to fall into it!

The centurion gazed at the enemy outside, his eyes filled with anger, but as he looked at some of the faces among them, he suddenly froze.

Why did it seem like he had seen these faces before?

He remembered personally hacking apart several Naga sea clansmen with an axe, but now, how could he see them standing right in front of him?

Could this be his imagination!?

New Moon Islands.

“How is the current situation of our losses?”

“My lord, your hara.s.sment strategy has been highly effective. The enemy’s speed in gathering resources and constructing camps has greatly slowed down, and we have inflicted casualties on over 17,000 of their troops, with more than a third of them being Tier 5 units!

But our actual losses have been minimal, thanks to the Resurrection Altar. Our core army has suffered almost no casualties. While the c.u.mulative death count is 15,000 units, the actual deaths amount to 12,000 units, all of which were soul-bound servants.”

Alice spoke in a cheerful tone.

Ji Chen’s face was filled with a smile.

The Resurrection Altar was the core and key of this plan.

With the ability to resurrect fallen troops at the Resurrection Altar, Ji Chen could commit a significant number of forces to engage the enemy without worrying too much about casualties.

In addition to that, there was Alice’s legion of soul-bound servants. She continuously controlled a large number of Tier 4 sea beasts that had been driven out by the Krakens, compelling them to launch a frenzied a.s.sault on the enemy.

He didn’t hesitate to throw away this disposable force, and in fact, it had achieved outstanding results.

So, on the surface, it appeared that the Ocean Crown had lost over 15,000 units, but in reality, only 12,000 soul-bound servants had died, and the 3,000 core units could be resurrected. This meant there were essentially no casualties.

In contrast, the enemy’s losses were genuine.

Ji Chen stopped smiling; it wasn’t time to celebrate yet.

The Ocean Crown had already suffered more than 17,000 casualties, but Lord of the Waves still had over 80,000 troops, putting them at a disadvantage.

“My lord, the Lobster Guardian Knights have gained the complete trust of the enemy. They have been allowed into the enemy’s camp and have gathered some information about it,” Alice said with a solemn expression.

“That camp has already constructed a significant number of spell towers. The giant tower under construction is Lord of the Waves’ palace and a powerful magical artillery platform. Once he takes residence, the firepower of that tower will cover a radius of a hundred miles at sea. His magical abilities within the tower will be terrifying, and the range of his magical attacks will encompa.s.s a vast area,” she added.

This was probably why Lord of the Waves had ordered the recruitment of able-bodied men and resource gathering everywhere. After completing the giant tower, he would have a solid base and wouldn’t fear any attacks.

Attacking this place would become much more difficult.

“Sonia, increase the intensity of patrolling in the coming days. I suspect that Lord of the Waves has already sensed the general location of the Ocean Crown. If you encounter enemy reconnaissance teams, eliminate them directly to delay their discovery of the Ocean Crown as much as possible.”

Sonia nodded in response.

“Starting tomorrow, Herald, Anina, Alice, and Diago, each of you will lead your respective armies to launch surprise attacks on the enemy’s resource-gathering teams and try to inflict casualties.”

The three heroes saluted in acknowledgment.

After several days of attacks, the enemy had become much more vigilant, and it was challenging to achieve the same remarkable results as before.

Even if they continued to exchange Tier 5 troops at a ratio of approximately 1:2, taking into account the resurrection, they could at most deal with 20,000 Tier 5 enemy troops. If they continued to fight in this manner, the Ocean Crown would eventually bleed out.

So, they needed to introduce some variables into the equation.

The Ocean Crown possessed numerous high-end combat forces, and the addition of any one of them could trigger a significant chemical reaction in this war..
