Under the guidance of Kris, they entered the elven army camp.

To be honest, Ji Chen had never seen so many elves before, walking around in groups.

Among them, he could sense the presence of many heroic units, showcasing the depth of the elves’ power.

These two thousand elven warriors had the strength to rival several times their number of Maple Principality soldiers.

As Ji Chen observed the elves, they also secretly watched him. It wasn’t until Kris led Ji Chen into a tent that they began to whisper.

“Who is this human? And why is he with Lady Kris?”

“Wow, he looks quite handsome, didn’t expect to see such a handsome human.”

“Wait, did he enter Commander Yasen’s tent!? I sense a conspiracy!”

“Discussing guests is not what elves should do; everyone, return to your posts!”

The reprimand from the elven officer silenced the elves.

Ji Chen followed Kris into the largest tent at the center of the camp and saw the commander of this operation, Yasen.

When Yasen saw him arrive, he greeted him with a smile.

“Lord Ji Chen, it’s been a few days, and you still look so spirited.”

Ji Chen smiled slightly. “I heard that you were able to apprehend all the deceivers of Maple City so quickly. I can’t afford not to be spirited.”

Yasen smiled with a hint of gratitude in his expression. “Thanks to your information, we were able to locate these sewer rats and eliminate the deceivers of Maple City and even the Maple Principality.

Taking advantage of the opportunity you brought, I also hope to earn some merit. 1 hope you don’t mind!”

“Without your assistance, we might not have been able to defeat these deceivers.”

After the pleasantries, Ji Chen inquired about the secret base of the deceivers.

“This base is located within the cliffs by the sea. The deceivers have almost hollowed it out, not only creating living facilities but also constructing a large number of defensive fortifications with formidable firepower.

Furthermore, it is defended by over five squads of war puppets, with an average tier of 4-star Tier Four and an average level of 40. It’s not to be underestimated.”

Although he said this, Yasen didn’t appear too concerned. It was clear that he had great confidence in the abilities of his elven forces.

Ji Chen remembered Yasen’s identity as a fleet commander and the fleet that blocked the sea. He couldn’t help but ask, “Why not directly have the fleet bombard the cliffs to collapse the base?”

Yasen shook his head. “Since the deceivers have built their base here, they probably used the Eternal Fortification Spell to reinforce the cliffs and the base’s structure. Trying to bring it down with the firepower of a fleet would be too challenging.

Moreover, deploying firepower of this scale would require a substantial amount of resources and gold coins. The lords in the council won’t approve…”

Yasen suddenly stopped and a hint of gloom crossed his face. “So we can only resort to a forced attack.”

Ji Chen fell silent. Was it preferable to sacrifice lives instead of spending vast resources on firepower projection?

Well, it seemed like the image of the elves was gradually deteriorating.

After a moment, Yasen’s expression brightened. “It’s almost time; the attack is about to begin.”

“Lord Ji Chen, if you wish to join the assault, please take care of your safety.”

“Of course,” Ji Chen replied with a slight smile. By the seaside, he might not be back to his peak condition, but he had regained at least ninety percent of his strength, enough to deal with them.

Outside, the sound of a longhorn echoed, and the drums of war followed suit.

The entire camp came alive as elven squads formed orderly formations and marched toward the attack point.

Ji Chen and his companions followed, arriving at the battlefield.

Standing on a high ground, not far away was the seaside cliff where the deceivers’ base was located. Rather than calling it a cliff, it was more like a colossal hill standing at the edge of the sea cliff.

At first glance, it seemed unremarkable, but upon closer inspection, one could see that the surface of this rugged hill was covered in caves and tunnels, interconnected and extensive. Perhaps the deceivers felt it was time for a direct confrontation and had removed the camouflage spell that had previously covered the surface, exposing it.

In the dimness, humanoid metal puppets moved about within, operating cannons and ballistae, ready to defend the city.

It appeared they were prepared to resist to the end.

The Maple Principality and the elves had lost all patience and quickly decided to launch their attack.

Between this hill and the camp, there was a muddy, narrow tidal flat that had to be crossed before reaching the hill.

Before crossing, the elven fleet anchored on the sea surface, under the guidance of signals, slowly turned and elevated their firing devices, aiming at the hill.

There were no earth-shattering explosions, only brilliant and dazzling beams of light, even in broad daylight.

Streams of fiery red beams shot up into the sky, leaving trails of light in their wake as they leaped through the air, forming sharp arcs before one by one, crashing onto the hill.

Boom!

The intense explosions finally echoed, and mushroom clouds billowed into the sky. Shattered rocks flew in all directions, and the already sparse vegetation on the hillside was now completely obliterated by the bombardment.

The elven fleet conducted three rounds of bombardment. When the dust settled, the hill appeared to be a scene of devastation, but in reality, it was like peeling off a layer of dead skin; the hill remained almost undamaged..
