World? His Highness’s Beloved

Upon returning to the Crown of the Ocean, the first thing Ji Chen did was to resurrect all the units that were lost in the battle and then recruit all the units accumulated over the past three weeks.

“Ding- Consuming 3,813,000 units of rare resources, a total of 3,018 units of troops have been recruited.”

The current main unit numbers are as follows:

– Water Nymph Archers, Tier 5,1-star, 700 units.

– Giant Crab Guards, Tier 5,1-star, 700 units.

– Lobster Guardian Knights, Tier 5,1-star, 1,670 units.

– Silver Sea Pixies, Tier 5, 2-star, 1,788 units.

– Naga Guardians, Tier 5, 3-star, 1,660 units.

– Dragon Blood Murlocs, Tier 5, 3-star, 1,680 units.

– Dragon Horn Catfish, Tier 5, 4-star, 560 units.

– Tyrant Azure Dragons, Tier 5, 5-star, 90 units.

A total of 8,848 units.

This recruitment consumed nearly four million units of rare resources, bringing the primary military force of the Crown of the Ocean close to the size of a ten-thousand-man army.

What’s even more terrifying was that, unlike some other players who achieve a ten-thousand-man army by recruiting low-tier troops, his army consisted of incredibly high-quality units, consisting entirely of Tier 5 units.

The strength of this army was enough to rival the main forces of kingdom-level and duchy-level powers.

At this point, the Crown of the Ocean truly possessed the strength to contend with the Kingdom of Bass.

Ji Chen was overjoyed.

After a period of development in secret, they finally had the power to establish themselves in this world.

Kingdom of Bass, huh?

When the time comes, I’ll pluck your hair and break your ass!

I’m telling you, even Jesus can’t save you!

Afterward, Ji Chen went to the underground world of the Lizardmen and found the Dwarf Thotmudo, who supervised the apprentices’ forging.

He explained the encounter with a ghost ship on the return journey.

Thotmudo was one of the top-tier experts in this world and might know some secrets not widely known.

“A ghost ship?”

“Yes, that ghost ship had previously tracked one of my subordinates, and this time it came after me. It’s quite large, not inferior to the New Moon.”

Thotmudo furrowed his brows, his rough palm rubbing his beard.

“This is somewhat unusual. Ghost ships are quite well-known in the Mid-Ocean. I know of at least a dozen versions, some are warships, some are fishing boats, but I’ve never heard of one as large as this.

Other than what you have mentioned, did you spot anything else unusual?”

Ji Chen pondered for a moment. “It might sound strange, but I heard the ghost ship speaking at that time, and no one else heard it, only me.”

“I could only vaguely make out a few words, like ‘mission’ and ‘blessing.'”

Thotmudo looked puzzled, and a gleam of interest flashed in his eyes.

Ji Chen sensed these reactions and asked anxiously, “Sir Thotmudo, do you know anything about this?”

“I don’t know more than you do,” he said, shaking his head. “But I believe that this ghost ship didn’t appear by chance. There must be a reason for it to seek you out.

Perhaps it’s trying to remind you of something.”

Ji Chen felt a sense of frustration.

Remind me of what? Are they about to return?

But who are ‘they’? Just saying that doesn’t help at all!

This feeling of being kept in the dark was uncomfortable, especially when it was such an unusual occurrence. He felt like a clown searching in vain without enough clues.

Seeing Ji Chen’s frustrated expression, Thotmudo tried to console him.

“Kid, if you can’t think of anything, it’s better not to dwell on it. As long as you become stronger, these things will eventually become clear.”

“Focusing too much on things that are unclear right now would be putting the cart before the horse.”contemporary romance

Ji Chen looked at Thotmudo with some surprise. He hadn’t expected this rough and irritable dwarf to speak in such a manner.

However, it did bring him to his senses. He realized that dwelling on these unfounded matters would only be a waste of his energy.

“Thank you for your reminder, Sir Thotmudo… Oh, there’s one more thing.”

He proceeded to explain how he conquered the Starshine Islands, acquired a shipyard capable of producing steel warships, and a large alchemy cannon manufacturing plant.

This piqued Thotmudo’s interest greatly. “Weren’t you supposed to help others resolve the Sea Beast Crisis? How did you end up taking over their base of operations?”

Ji Chen coughed and simplified the explanation, “Long story short, those councilors failed to keep their promises, and in the midst of confronting them, we accidentally took over.”

Thotmudo didn’t pay much attention to those details but was more intrigued by the mention of the shipyard. “A shipyard? Can it produce steel warships like the ones docked in the surface harbors of the Kingdom of Bass?”

“Close, but the level of technology is significantly lower, and it’s only capable of making smaller escort ships. After all, this is the limit of what an island could do.”

In terms of technological sophistication, the “warships” produced by the Starshine Islands were essentially steel civilian ships equipped with alchemy cannons. They were far from reaching the systematic shipbuilding capabilities of the Kingdom of Bass.

Their combat capabilities were naturally limited, but still better than wooden sailboats.

Moreover, even if they didn’t produce warships, they could make some steel cargo ships and merchant ships for transporting goods and people, which were much sturdier than fragile wooden ships.

However, this time Ji Chen had other ideas..
