Herli seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, patting her chest as if to ease some tension.
“As long as you can satisfy me.”
“Good, good… Hmm!?” Herli’s eyes widened as if she had realized something, and her cheeks flushed red. She stuttered, “I-I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person. I won’t surrender myself to you!”
Watching the handsome face in front of her, Herli’s mind raced. If it were Ji Chen, perhaps, she wouldn’t lose out?
No, no, you’re the n.o.ble High Priest of the Elven Empire, how could you easily surrender yourself?
But if this embarra.s.sing matter were to spread, she wouldn’t be able to stay in Silvermoon City anymore. What should she do?
Observing Herli’s face turning as red as a tomato, with a puzzled expression full of question marks, Ji Chen shook his head. If someone approached him seeking a.s.sistance but couldn’t meet his terms, there wasn’t much else to discuss.
“So, Lady Herli, may I ask what brings you to the Crown of the Ocean?” Ji Chen gestured for her to sit down.
Herli looked at Ji Chen’s unchanged expression, seeming to realize that she had misunderstood. She was left feeling embarra.s.sed once again.
However, she could only endure the embarra.s.sment, pretend to calm down, and change the subject.
“Ahem, we already know that you have slain the Undead Lord, and because of you the Undead Legion that occupied the Southern Continent has completely collapsed.”
“The Undead Legion has completely collapsed?”
“The Undead Lord linked his life with the core powers of the legion, including the high-ranking officers and officers. Therefore, when the Undead Lord died, they all perished as well. The Undead Legion lost command and riots broke out.”
Herli exclaimed, ”1 really don’t know how you managed to kill the Undead Lord. Even among those above the Epic Tier, he was considered formidable.” “Perhaps only someone stronger than him could kill him,” Ji Chen replied lightly.
Herli was stunned, covering her mouth as she laughed, “You’re just praising yourself! I thought you would be more modest.”
Ji Chen also hesitated for a moment. In the past, he would have been more modest upon hearing such words, but now he naturally became more a.s.sertive.
This was probably the result of absorbing two authorities and starting to condense his divinity.
The authorities not only made his power stronger but also subtly changed his behavior.
But Ji Chen didn’t reject this.
“With the Undead Lord dead and the Undead Legion collapsed, the threat has greatly reduced. Now, there are only three Lords and their legions left, and the pressure on the orderly side will be greatly reduced.”
Herli nodded. “Now there’s only the Decay Lord in the Western Continent, the Void Lord in the Eastern Continent, and the Greed Lord in the Southern Continent.
The Decay Lord is being blocked by the Goblin, Half-Orc, and Mountain People Alliance Forces and is gradually stabilizing the front line. Thirty elite legions of the Elven Empire are rushing to the front line and will soon begin a strategic counterattack.
The Greed Lord may be wary of the Undead Lord’s death and has retreated a hundred miles overnight. The Desert Alliance, with the support of the Alliance Fleet and a large amount of supplies, has barely maintained the front line. With the arrival of the second wave of fleets, they can stabilize.
What worries us the most is the Eastern Continent. The power displayed by the Void Lord exceeds our expectations. The Eastern Continent Alliance, composed of the Light Church, Markus Empire, and other kingdoms and forces in the Eastern Continent, was defeated by the Void Legion two weeks ago, with a million casualties and a retreat of thousands of miles.
When I came to the Crown of the Ocean, they had already retreated to the central Hogsback Mountains, relying on the fortress defenses there to resist and buy time to regroup.”
Ji Chen glanced sideways. “This should be the first time that the orderly side has encountered such a big failure in the face of demons.”
Herli sighed. “Yes, or rather, all the major victories we achieved before were basically won by you.”
The Dreadlord met his demise, the Dread Legion was wiped out, the Undead Lord also perished, and the Undead Legion descended into turmoil…
Without exception, all of these were closely linked to Ji Chen.
Regarding the remaining Orderly factions, when confronted with demons, they were generally at a disadvantage. The more competent ones, such as the Goblin forces in the Western Continent, could just about maintain stability, while the weaker ones, like the Desert Alliance in the Southern Continent, would have been overrun without the timely intervention of the Alliance Fleet. And now, the Eastern Continent had become the most critical area. Nearly half of the continent had fallen, and they had suffered a major defeat.
If the Eastern Continent were truly occupied by the Void Lord, then this war would not be ending anytime soon.
Demons were experts at sustaining themselves through warfare. Once they occupied vast territories, they could convert the resources within into a steady supply of fuel to drive their war machine.
From millions of demons, they could swell into tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
Ji Chen shook his head slowly. He could defeat demon lords in the sea, but matters on land had to rely on other powers.
After a moment of contemplation, he asked, “What can I do?”
Herli shook her head. “The Empire and several affiliated kingdoms now have thirty elite legions that will soon arrive at the Hogsback Mountains. They should be able to turn the tide and return to a strategic stalemate. There’s no need for you to intervene.”
Ji Chen didn’t say anything. If he ended up dealing with all five demon lords, then the other forces of Order would essentially be freeloaders..
