Chapter 430: The Second Wave of Sea Beast Tide, Combo Punch

The threat of the Sea Beast Tide had not subsided, leaving everyone in the Crown of the Ocean on edge, even the usually carefree Daro, who now showed signs of worry.

After half a month of recuperation, Daro’s injuries had largely healed.

However, as the main battlefield this time was at sea, he, being a landlubber, could only stay on the island with Verena, preparing for a possible land battle.

Verena’s level had recovered to thirty. Although her strength had not fully returned to its peak, she was already capable enough to take on significant responsibilities. A legendary hero unit was not to be underestimated.

Ji Chen gazed towards the southern seas, feeling somewhat anxious.

According to Anina, the Sea Beast Tide had emerged due to the birth of a powerful overlord sea beast, prompting other sea beasts to migrate en masse for survival.

This first wave of the Sea Beast Tide alone amounted to a million beasts, suggesting that this overlord sea beast was extraordinarily powerful.

What worried him was whether this overlord sea beast would follow the Sea Beast Tide to the Stormy Sea in search of food.

The sea beasts could flee, but his territory could not.

The more he enhanced his strength and the longer he stayed in the ocean, the more he felt the immeasurable vastness of the sea.

The ocean was mysterious, and even though he had mastered some tidal powers, he still worried about what might be hidden in the unexplored deep seas and far oceans – terrifying marine behemoths, remnants left by long-gone deities, or ancient evil artifacts lost by old gods.

The ocean was too vast. So far, the Crown of the Ocean had only explored the Stormy Sea and a few adjacent areas, a fraction so small compared to the entire Mediterranean that it didn’t even amount to one ten-millionth.

As he pondered, the pride that had swelled due to the continuous victories of the Crown of the Ocean’s army and his rare opposition since becoming the Tidal Dominator began to subside.

At this moment, his arrogance, which had been inflated by his rare defeats since becoming the Tidal Dominator, gradually subsided, and he slowly regained the reverence he had when he first entered this world.

His entire demeanor seemed more restrained, and the previously unrestrained aura and fluctuations of his spells were now all drawn in.

He appeared like an ordinary lord with a somewhat handsome face, but a closer look revealed eyes as deep as an unfathomable ocean.

Alice, who had been quietly following by his side, keenly sensed this subtle change in Ji Chen and couldn’t help but take a few more glances. “My Lord, you…”

Ji Chen shook his head and touched her hair, which was brighter than the sun, “Alice, will you stay with me until we reach the end of this world and uncover the truth behind it?”

“1 will always follow you, even if the world ends,” Alice replied earnestly.

Ji Chen said nothing more, just smiling and nodding his head.

Looking towards the distant sea again, a scout team was rapidly returning.

“Report, my Lord, the second wave of the Sea Beast Tide has reached twenty kilometers outside the Stormy Sea. It is estimated that it will pass through the Stormy Sea in eight hours.

About 350,000 of them are heading towards the New Moon Islands, with their tiers leaning towards higher levels. A large number of fourth-tier sea beasts have been spotted, and the presence of fifth-tier sea beasts cannot be ruled out.

Moreover, we’ve discovered that this wave of the Sea Beast Tide is not as chaotic as the last one. A significant part of it consists of organized sea beast tribes, commanded by numerous sea beast leaders.”

Three hundred and fifty thousand – that’s a whole one hundred and fifty thousand more than the first wave, creating a formidable numerical advantage.

By this calculation, the more than six thousand units of the Crown of the Ocean’s army would have to face about 58 sea beasts each, including fourth and even fifth-tier sea beasts.

Not just in numbers and quality, but the defensive difficulty of the second wave of the Sea Beast Tide would also climb several levels.

The reason why the first wave could be crushed with low casualties was that most sea beasts charged forward mindlessly, like the undead, without any organization or strategy, directly clashing with the defense line.

However, this wave, according to the scout team’s findings, included a considerable number of sea beast tribes. These tribes, possessing certain organization and intelligence, would be much more troublesome and might bypass the frontline to attack the hinterlands of the Crown of the Ocean.

This pinpointed a weakness of the Crown of the Ocean – insufficient army numbers. Even with high-quality individual units, most of the forces had to be deployed on the frontline.

Ji Chen stroked his chin, deep in thought. How should he respond?

Should he really call out the Coral Palace army?

As he pondered, a voice rang out.

“My Lord, leave those sea beast tribes to me. I can handle them.”

Turning to look, Alice’s expression was serious but filled with confidence.

Ji Chen frowned slightly, quickly understanding the source of Alice’s confidence.

The sea beast tribes posed a threat because of their leader units. If they could capture the leader first, neutralizing the leader units, then the remaining ordinary sea beasts would be less of a concern.

Alice’s mind control had the ability to disrupt souls. With the cover of soul slaves, intervening and interfering at critical moments seemed like a good approach.

“Alright, I’ll leave them to you and the Soul Slave Legion.”

Hearing the response, a look of joy appeared in Alice’s eyes. Alleviating the Lord’s worries was her greatest desire..
