Chapter 767: Battle Situation in the Eastern Continent (2)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Indeed.” The Bishop with whitebeard sighed, “But have you heard the news? The demon army from the Dreadlord’s side was completely annihilated, and the Dreadlord Balzarna was slain. The one who slew him was none other than the Lord of Glory, who first discovered the rebellion of the Three Sects.

Four epic-tier individuals besieged the Dreadlord and successfully slew him. Such glorious achievements have already spread across other continents.

Surprisingly, the last bishop was a female, younger-looking compared to the other two. She appeared like a kind middle-aged woman, adorned with a radiant sun emblem on the left chest of her robe. She was none other than the bishop of the Radiant Sect, one of the Three Sects.

Upon hearing the Bishop with whitebeard’s words, she asked with puzzlement, “But what does this have to do with the predicament we face now?”

“Of course, it matters.” The bishop with whitebeard stroke his beard. “Even with four epic-tier individuals, it’s impossible to besiege a Dreadlord above the epic tier. You should understand this.”

The bishop of the Radiant Sect furrowed her brow. “Are you saying…”

“This Lord of Glory is suspicious, possessing power that threatens even the epic tier. But you see, they’ve only been in this world for a year,” the Bishop with Whitebeard said. “In just a year, he has gained the power to threaten above the epic tier. Does that seem reasonable to you?”

Disregarding the subtle shifts in their facial expressions, he went on, “Moreover, the unexpected arrival of the Lord of Glory raises a lot of questions.

I’ve inquired about it, but the responses I received were vague, suggesting even they are unsure about the details.”

According to their own words, those Lords of Glory had come here unintentionally because of a ‘game1, sounding like they were sent to this world by some unknown entity. Not only did they have magical, long-distance communication means, they also possessed an incomprehensible passion and determination, as if…

“And their timing is quite clever, coinciding precisely with the loss of contact with the gods and the invasion of demons. Do you think this is just a coincidence?”

After listening to the Bishop with whitebeard’s words, the Bishops of the Radiant and Golden Flower Sects fell into contemplation. All of this seemed too coincidental. It was so coincidental that it was as if there was an unseen, untouchable, supremely powerful entity manipulating the pieces on the chessboard called the world, secretly driving changes and trends in the world situation.

And one of those pieces might be those Lords of Glory who call themselves players.

“I believe that this Lord of Glory named Ji Chen, who was able to reach the epic tier in such a short time, may have received help from some ‘entity’, and may also know some secrets unknown to others.”

The Bishop with whitebeard ventured a bold guess.

The Bishops of the Radiant and Golden Flower Sects were surprised at first, but upon careful consideration, it made some sense. The Bishop of the Radiant Sect nodded in agreement. “Even if that’s not the case, it still shows the extraordinary nature of that Lord of Glory. I believe it’s necessary for us to establish some contact with him now. With his ability to slay beings above the epic tier, perhaps we can seek his help and offer generous rewards to implore him to slay the Void Lord wreaking havoc on the Eastern Continent.”

“Indeed… But we have already had some contact with him. The Light Church was destroyed by his hands, and the news of the rebellion of the Three Sects was also exposed by him.”

The Bishop of the Golden Flower sect said in a self-deprecating tone.

The three of them had subtle expressions on their faces. Although the Three Sects had already rebelled and been destroyed, the thought of having to request assistance from the “culprit” who directly or indirectly caused significant damage to the Light Church was inevitably complicated.

Lienhardt Palace.

Sebastian rushed in excitedly from outside, his face full of excitement.

“Royal Father, the Elven Empire has responded to us. They have agreed to dispatch a fleet to support Lord Ji Chen in the Crown of the Ocean. They also plan to harass, bombard, and conduct landing operations against demons along the southern continent’s coastline.”

Julius slapped the armrest suddenly, stood up, and laughed heartily, “Excellent! Since the Elves are sending out their fleet for this reason, the success rate of this operation and battle will increase exponentially.”

“But the Elves also sent a message that needs to be kept confidential.”

“A confidential message?”

“Queen Laphia of the Elves will also accompany the expedition this time.”

Julius’s eyes widened.

What’s going on?

The highest ruler of the Elven Empire was actually personally going to deal with demons on the southern continent?

But he quickly reacted. The Elven Queen should be going to the Crown of the Ocean to find Ji Chen.

There was still some doubt in his mind. “Why would she personally go at this critical time?”

“That, she didn’t tell me…” Sebastian shookhis head.

Julius pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, “Could it be that she’s going to snatch a man?”

Sebastian was stunned, his face full of confusion.

Julius explained, “You see, Ji Chen is an epic-tier, and such a young epic-tier is quite rare. Recently, he even slayed a Dreadlord above the epic tier and crushed a million-strong demon army. With such potential, it’s normal for the Elves to want to win him over.

You know the Elves’ methods behind the scenes. For the sake of their interests, they don’t hesitate to send beautiful elves to their targets, then send troops to suppress them under the guise of elf trafficking or insulting the empire, in order to obtain what they want.

In that case, it’s not surprising that the Elves have thoughts of enticing Ji Chen. There are only a few ways to entice people: money, status, lifespan.” Julius glanced at the gate and realized that his wife and daughter were not present. He lowered his voice slightly and said, “And the most direct one, the beauty trap. Ji Chen already has the first three items, but the last one is what they fear the most, because even heroes have their weaknesses!”

Sebastian thoughtfully said, “But I heard that Lord Ji Chen has no shortage of attractive and powerful companions by his side, including elves, and even rare- blooded Siren, deep-sea nobles like the Deep Sea Dragon Whale…

Julius had a look of disbelief. “But you need to understand, that’s the renowned Elven Queen Laphia. In terms of beauty and power, she’s among the top in this world. And her status is not just noble. With such immense power, do you think you can resist if she uses the beauty trap on you?”

Sebastian imagined for a moment and agreed, “Indeed, I wouldn’t stand a chance.”

“So, it’s truly enviable… Ahem, I mean, Ji Chen may have many companions around him, but none of them hold such a high position as the Elven Queen. He might just fall for it!” Julius looked worried. “When it comes to using beauty traps, Monica is no match for opponents like the Elven Queen!

Sebastian nodded deeply in agreement. If Monica’s level was considered excellent tier, then the Elven Queen was an epic-tier!

Indeed, they must be on guard.

But little sister, you also need to step up your game, or else your man will get stolen away!

Under the delay caused by Ji Chen and the Crown of the Ocean, the demons were blocked in the central sea area, allowing Lienhardt and other kingdoms like the Elven Empire to focus most of their efforts on mobilizing for war and eliminating the evil alliance forces.

Various powers quickly reached a consensus to send troops to support the Crown of the Ocean and harass the demons on the southern continent. Within a short period, a large number of ships were mobilized to head towards the

Crown of the Ocean.

A total of eight powers and kingdoms participated in this operation, including the three Northwestern Coastal countries led by Lienhardt, the Elven Empire, and its three affiliated kingdoms, as well as the Independent Alliance of Hope, all sending their main fleets to participate in the operation.

The first to arrive were the fleets of the Elven Empire and its five affiliated powers, forming a massive fleet of densely packed ships, stationed to the east, northeast, and northwest of the New Moon Islands.

Flags fluttered in the air, ships stretching for miles, displaying various banners high above, including the Twin Sacred Tree flag, the Sword and Shield flag, the Maple Leaf flag…

However, the one they were looking for, the real protagonist, was not among them.
