Chapter 470: Malicious Existence, Resources in Hand, and Rush to War (3)

Less than two days after the shipwreck, Ari and his group once again boarded a Crown of the Ocean warship.
They would part ways with Ji Chen halfway, following their agreement to head to the Maple Principality, while Ji Chen and his team would proceed to the Starshine Islands, and then make their way towards the northwest coast of the Central Ocean, where both nations were located.
Ari had no objections to this plan; it seemed the sooner they reached the Maple Principality, the better for him.
Two days later.
Both parties arrived at their designated separation point.
Ari expressed his gratitude to Ji Chen, saying, “Thank you, Your Excellency, for extending your hand to us. If you ever come to the Kingdom of Ugisai, I will surely repay your generosity.”
Ji Chen nodded with a smile, appreciating the desert dweller whose identity was not entirely clear.
If the man hadn’t voluntarily disclosed some long-buried secrets from history, Ji Chen might not have realized the significance of the situation and might still be taking things slowly.
After a simple farewell, the fleets and armies separated.
In this instance, the fleet of the Ocean Crown, braving the risks of sea beast attacks, chose a relatively safe route to forcefully traverse the ocean towards the Maple Principality.
Ji Chen, too, was willing to risk sea beast assaults as he journeyed to the northwest coast.
And that place was precisely where the colossal sea beast tide, with all its grandeur, would ultimately reach.
He believed that something must be drawing the sea beast horde collectively to that location, and this expedition might provide an opportunity to investigate further.
Two days later, they arrived at the Starshine Islands one day ahead of schedule due to their accelerated travel.
While Ji Chen was away, Sonia and the Coral Palace troops kept things under control. Xhakas, Kieran, and Herman dutifully carried out Ji Chen’s policies, motivating players to participate in developing the Starshine Islands.
In just a few days, the islands’ southern side, which had been destroyed by Sea Beasts, was revitalized and returned to life.
And the once conspicuous slums in Starshine City were completely razed and replaced with two-story buildings. The sounds of residents’ laughter and joy faintly echoed in the air.
After a brief update and instructing them to continue implementing the policies, Ji Chen departed from the Starshine Islands once more, heading towards his destination.
As Ji Chen left, Xhakas, Kieran, and Herman couldn’t help but show concern in their eyes.
They had no choice but to worry because, due to the master-servant contract, if one party died, the contract rules would directly erase the other party, which was extremely overbearing.
At this moment, all they could do was silently pray in their hearts, hoping that Ji Chen would return safely.
At the border between the Kingdom of Bass and the Lienhardt Grand Duchy.
The night fell, and the moon was obscured by dark clouds.
A soldier stood guard on a watchtower at the duchy’s border, holding a crossbow.
Suddenly, he noticed flickering shadows in the distance within the jungle and squinted his eyes to get a better look.
However, the night was too dark, and he couldn’t see anything.
Just as he thought it might be his imagination, a glimmer appeared in the darkness. The next moment, an arrow whizzed through the air and struck the soldier, causing him to fall.
In the darkness, a skilled marksman from the Kingdom of Bass put down his powerful bow, looking grave.
He gestured to the rear.
Soon, a group of plain-clothed soldiers from the Kingdom of Bass emerged from the jungle, moving quietly toward a gap in the border between the two nations. Their eyes gleamed with cruelty and coldness.
But just as they were about to cross the border, the soldier who was shot down by the marksman earlier suddenly propped himself up against the railing. In the moment he saw the glint, he instinctively shifted his body slightly, and the arrow had not hit a vital spot.
Now, the soldier stood up, enduring the pain, and saw thousands of enemy troops sneaking in. A flash of shock crossed his eyes.
The Kingdom of Bass was actually planning to attack under the cover of night!?
Damn it, they must not succeed!
The soldier, clutching his wound, quickly triggered the alarm.
Woo—
A piercing sound shattered the silence of the night, and the Lienhardt Grand Duchy’s military camp erupted into chaos. Many soldiers hurriedly donned their equipment.
The moment they saw this soldier stand up, the Bass Kingdom soldiers knew something was wrong. Without further concealment, they sprinted at full speed, crossing the border and charging towards the enemy soldiers.
An officer raised his longsword high and shouted loudly.
“All forces, charge!”
“The first one to breach the enemy camp will be rewarded with a noble title and an audience with His Majesty!”
“Today, we shall bring ruin to the Lienhardt Grand Duchy!”
“Attack!”
