Combat Power Throw (Red Skill): Concentrating all the strength in the body, throw the Trident of Mana, increasing its penetration capability by 100% and causing splash damage.

Dragon Blood Murloc Physique (Red Skill): Immune to some curses, viruses, and toxins, with a 35% increase in spell resistance and physical resistance.

Oceanic Murloc (Red Skill): Movement speed increases by 250% while active in the ocean, and Murloc armies under your command enjoy a 50% bonus.

[Unit Trait: Murloc Commander (Provides an additional 40 morale when leading Murlocs, immune to fear and retreat, and all attributes of the Murlocs under your command increase by 125%, with a shared understanding).]

[This was becoming an increasingly powerful Murloc hero.]

[Ribbit- Ribbit!!]

The panel underwent a significant transformation, with six red skills signifying an unprecedented upgrade.

Especially the unit trait, similar to the Deep Sea Naga hero Herald, it brought more prominent improvements to the subordinates.

Benbo felt a much stronger power within him and was extremely excited.

As a hero with only blue excellent-tier talent, he would probably have stayed at this level forever without any accidents.

But everything changed since the master summoned him from the void.

First, he went from the blue excellent-tier to the purple rare-tier. At that time, he was already very satisfied. Later, he merged with the Dragon Blood Crystals, replacing his bloodline with that of a dragon, completing the leap of his racial bloodline.

But now, his master had used his great power to elevate him to the Red-Legacy Tier. His strength had increased dozens of times.

What an incredible favor and blessing!

Immediately, Benbo knelt down, saying in the most devout manner, “Thank you for your grace, Master!”

“Rise, I won’t mistreat any of my loyal subordinates. I hope you can live up to this blessing.”

“I will repay this trust with flesh and soul, with loyalty spoken through slaughter and the Trident in my hand!”

Ji Chen nodded slightly, thinking for a moment.

“From now on, all Dragon Blood Murlocs will directly obey your command. Create a legion of your own, and name it… the Dragon Blood Legion.”

“Yes!”

This decision was one he had wanted to propose when he was increasing the unit tier.

As the number of main unit types continued to increase, many had already surpassed the ten-thousand mark, making command much more challenging.

Ji Chen was well aware that his command abilities were not exceptionally outstanding. Instead of tightly holding onto the command authority, it would be better to delegate some of the command authority for specific unit types to heroes who understood how to command them.

He only needed to retain overall command.

In his initial plan, the formation of various units and legions was as follows:

Dragon Blood Murlocs would form the Dragon Blood Legion, directly commanded by Benbo.

Naga Guardians would form the Naga Legion, directly commanded by Herald.

Silver Sea Pixies, Water Nymph Archers, and Crab Guardians would form the Guardian Legion.

Lobster Guardian Knights would form the Knight Legion, temporarily commanded by one of the blue excellent-tier Lobster Guardian Knight heroes.

Tyrant Azure Dragons would form the Azure Dragon Legion, serving as Ji Chen’s personal guard and commanded by him directly.

Alice, due to her uniqueness, would form the Servant Legion, consisting of her and the soul servants she controlled, operating as an independent unit.

As for the Lizardmen, Kobolds, Half-Orcs, and other diverse races, they would come together to form the Production Legion. This legion’s primary duty would be focused on tasks related to production and construction. However, during times of war, they would transition into a militia force and actively engage in combat. The overall command of this force would be under the supervision of Grand Steward Wilus.

The remaining tier four and below units would form the Guard Legion, specializing in protecting the territory, conducting patrols, and vigilance duties, temporarily commanded by Daro.

With this organization, the Crown of the Ocean had established eight legions, each with specific roles in combat and production.

As a result, the various unit types were no longer mixed haphazardly but had distinct leadership and clear commands, enhancing their combat effectiveness.

This was the decision Ji Chen had made regarding unit command, hoping to see corresponding results in future battles.

During the time of waiting for Daro to recover, perhaps due to a war that had nearly devastated the entire territory, the residents had burst with great work enthusiasm, resulting in multiple impressive achievements.

First, there was Thotmudo, who had obtained three sets of alchemical technology data from Lienhardt. He had already analyzed one set and manufactured a prototype.

It was an alchemical anti-aircraft cannon with four long barrels, two on the left and two on the right, with an alchemical targeting device in the middle. To operate it fully, it required at least three people to cooperate: one to rotate the base turret, one to load ammunition, and one to aim and fire.

If modern military enthusiasts saw it, they would surely be amazed because this multi-barrel cannon was essentially an otherworldly version of a quad anti-aircraft gun.

In fact, this alchemical anti-aircraft cannon, known as the “Ripper”, was designed for anti-aircraft defense but could also be used horizontally to deal with targets without armor or low armor.

According to Thotmudo’s explanation, this alchemical anti-aircraft cannon could fire a dense barrage of explosive shells, boasting formidable firepower that posed a significant threat to aerial targets. The only drawback was its significant ammunition consumption.

Ji Chen was prepared for this and immediately had Wilus dispatch a group of residents to the cannon manufacturing plant to start producing the required alchemical shells.

The cannon manufacturing plant, besides being capable of manufacturing cannons, could naturally produce ammunition as well. With the vast mineral resources in the underground Lizardmen world, there was no shortage of minerals.

Secondly, Leysha’s winemaking business had also achieved some results. She had come up with two grape wine recipes, one with a richer taste suitable for men and another slightly milder but more suitable for women.

Leysha named them “Blue Sea Wines”, signifying wines coming from the blue ocean.

Due to the climate and rules, it took less than two months from planting to mature grapes. As a result, the initially planted grapes had grown quite lush, with vines climbing up wooden frames, showing remarkable growth.

According to Leysha, the Crown of the Ocean was a land highly conducive to grape cultivation.

As for the issue of liquor sales qualification in the Maple Principality, Ji Chen wasn’t too worried.

He planned to find Miligas later, perhaps with assistance from Yasen or Gilder if needed. Alternatively, they could sell the Crown of the Ocean’s wine elsewhere, not necessarily limited to the Maple Principality.

They could also consider selling it directly to the Lienhardt Grand Duchy through Monika’s connections.

Ji Chen might not have much, but he had some influential friends among the natives and held a decent position in their society.

Thirdly, thanks to the residents’ overtime efforts, all twelve three-star Black Hawk Arrow Towers had been completed.

These towering thirty-meter structures, crowned with eagle heads on top, capable of firing specially crafted crossbow bolts, stood evenly along the long southern shoreline, creating a formidable network of firepower.

In the past, whenever enemies invaded, the previously unobstructed southern beach was always the first point of enemy breakthrough, causing the Crown of the Ocean significant losses.

However, with the completion of these twelve three-star arrow towers, this embarrassing situation would come to an end.

Fourthly, perhaps boosted by the high popularity of 92 points, the Crown of the Ocean had two new lifestyle heroes within a few days.

Both were white common-tier heroes, originally blacksmiths.

Although they were just the lowest-tier white common heroes, they were hero units nonetheless. This gave Ji Chen an unexpected delight, and he immediately arranged for them to learn the technology from Thotmudo.

Even if hero units were of the lowest tier, their learning abilities were still superior to ordinary people, making it easier for them to grasp Dwarven forging techniques.

If one were to visit the spacious factory in the jungle clearing on the northern side of the Crown of the Ocean, they would see Thotmudo there, wielding a hammer to instruct his apprentices in the techniques and secrets of Dwarven forging.

This time, he was truly focused, wholeheartedly teaching the technology.

Ji Chen was quite satisfied with this development, and he started thinking about when to send people to the Western Continent to explore the Kugi Mountains and find those reclusive Dwarves.

But all of this would have to wait until after he had explored the mystics realm..
