The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful Chapter 88: The Temptation Song of Purple Grade

Chapter 88: The Temptation Song of Purple Grade

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The city of Sanjin is divided into an outer and inner city. Apart from the regular city walls surrounding the outer city, there is an additional smaller wall between the inner and outer city.

The outer city is where ordinary residents reside, while the inner city is the domain of the powerful figures within the Blood Sea.

After Jichen opened the city gates of the outer city, the Krieg soldiers began to retreat and regroup within the defense of the inner city walls.

Although the players outnumbered their opponents, they faced the challenge of attacking the towering inner city walls, which stood over ten meters high. The momentum of the a.s.sault became stagnant.

The soldiers of the Bauhinia Alliance were also hesitant to engage in a direct siege due to the formidable defensive artillery mounted on the inner city walls.

Instead, they established their camps at a safe distance, seemingly awaiting the arrival of additional siege equipment.

On the streets not far from the inner city gate, players gathered together, deliberating on strategies to breach the city gate.

“Why don’t we send some soldiers to sneak in through the sewers?”

“No, I’ve already sent them before. They’ve sent a large number of troops to guard the exit of the sewers.”

“Why don’t we just set up a ladder and attack? Anyway, we have more people and troops!”

“If you want to go up, do it yourself. Who knows how many soldiers will die if you forcefully attack the city.”

Not many people were willing to endure the losses that came with a direct siege.

They hadn’t even laid eyes on a single piece of crystal yet!

If they suffered too many casualties here, their own forces would be insufficient to intimidate others. That could lead to problems when it came time to divide the spoils of the crystals…

Although they had temporarily formed an alliance, it was clear that their hearts were not completely united. Each person harbored their own hidden intentions…

“Then what should we do? Should we just stand here and watch?”

“I heard that the outer city gate was opened from the inside by a big shot who infiltrated in advance. Perhaps he is already in the inner city and can help us open the gate? If we work together, we might be able to break through the city gates.”

“That makes sense, but the problem is that after we lose the outer city gate, those soldiers will definitely focus on guarding the city gate. That big shot might not take the risk to attack.”

“That’s right, and does anyone know this big shot? How can we let him lead us when we don’t even know who he is?”

“Uh, that’s true…”

“Why don’t we call him out in the chat channel and the forum?”

“Although it sounds silly, we can only try this method.”

Just like that, these players started to flood the chat channels and forums with messages and calls.

“Dear powerful figure who secretly opened the outer gates of the Holy City in the Silver Islands’ mystic realm, if you are inside the inner city, please be kind and open the gates for us!”

“Once the inner city gates are opened, we will join forces with you and storm into the Krieg’s palace, seizing her throne and allowing you to take your place!” “Father, I beg of you!”

“Please, we beg you. We will express our grat.i.tude with generous rewards once the mission is accomplished! May you have a peaceful life, kind soul!”

“May you have a peaceful life, kind soul!”

“May you have a peaceful life, kind soul!”

At first, there were various requests and pleas, but then the players transformed into parrots, repeating “May you have a peaceful life, kind soul” on the screen. It truly astonished other players who were unaware of the situation.

As Ji Chen witnessed this scene, his face was filled with confusion.

These group of silly internet users really caught me off guard. Goodness, each one of them is just looking for a handout, huh?

But in his plan to create chaos, it also included opening the gates of the inner city.

If players don’t come in and distract the soldiers, how can he sneak into Krieg’s palace amidst the commotion?

The gates need to be opened, but the question is how. After he opened the outer gates, a large number of soldiers were dispatched to guard the inner gates, forming a dense crowd around them.

Even if he could cast an illusion on all of them, Ji Chen wouldn’t be able to reach the gates before Alice’s mana was depleted.

It would take quite some time to deal with such a group of fools, let alone humans.

The Krieg soldiers in the inner city are already on edge due to his previous actions. At the slightest sound, they charge like a pack of mad dogs.

Especially that elite guard, actively searching for their tracks. He couldn’t guarantee a safe escape if their traces were exposed in front of so many soldiers.

How can he safely open the gates and leave without endangering himself?

As he contemplated, Ji Chen suddenly remembered Alice’s unit talent tree.

[Unlocked node A-l: Song of Temptation (Blue skill -> Purple skill)][Consumes 3200 units of wood, 3200 units of clay, 800 units of mythril.]

The only thing that could possibly break the situation now was Alice’s upgraded Song of Temptation.

Upgrading from a blue skill to a purple skill was equivalent to a qualitative change.

The blue-grade Song of Temptation was not very effective against tier 3 soldiers. If it could be upgraded to purple grade, its effect and duration would be greatly enhanced.

Perhaps he could kill his way through the gate and forcefully open it.

After thinking about it, Ji Chen felt that this was very promising.

He immediately checked the resources he currently had.

After setting sail, it seems that the Kobolds have been busy as well, continuously logging and gathering resources. The current wood resource has reached over 6,000 units, more than enough to meet the wood requirement for Node A-i.

As for clay, before setting sail, he entrusted Wilus with the authority to collect resources, including clay, in his territory. So now the territory has acc.u.mulated 5,400 units of clay, satisfying the clay requirement.

As for Mithril, he had previously left 800 units, and the territory has also received a considerable amount of Mithril income these days, meeting the Mithril requirement as well.

All three resource requirements are fulfilled!

Seeing this, Ji Chen didn’t waste any time and tapped on Node A-i with his finger.

“Would you like to consume resources to unlock A-1?”

“Yes.”

“Consuming 3,200 units of wood, 3,200 units of clay, 800 units of mithril to unlock A-l.”

“The tier of ‘Temptation Song’ is upgraded from blue skill to purple skill.”

In the Stormy Seas, Wilus was stunned as he watched a large portion of wood and clay suddenly disappear from the warehouse. What happened? Where did all my wood and clay go?

The culprit behind all of this, Ji Chen, with a hint of antic.i.p.ation on his face, opened Alice’s panel to check the description of the upgraded Temptation Song.

[Skill: Song of Temptation (Purple skill, can use beautiful and seductive songs to confuse the enemy, causing them to fall into a state of absent-mindedness and hallucination. Can charm and control the enemy, the effect depends on the enemy’s level [Charm, mana consumption speed increases by 100% when controlling the enemy])]

Controlling enemies?!

Ji Chen suddenly realized.

So, what Anina said was true. Sirens indeed possess the ability to bewitch and control creatures!

It’s just that their previous skill level was too low to demonstrate it.

Being able to charm and manipulate enemies…

A glimmer of confidence flashed in his eyes. With this ability, the maneuverability would be greatly enhanced….
