The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

Chapter 495  Share Allocation, Wu Lun's Confidence, Moment of Slaughter... Has Arrived (2)

Another player chimed in, saying, "I'll contribute fifteen hundred 5-star tier 3 Muck Dwellers."

Upon hearing this, the other players couldn't help but be taken aback.

In the eyes of many, Muck Dwellers were among the weakest races in terms of combat capability, even less formidable than the hybrid half-fish races.

Fifteen hundred 5-star tier 3 Muck Dwellers alone had combat power that could rival three hundred Forest Barbarians, which was quite a laughable contribution.

It appeared that this player was here just to get by.

However, they had still provided fifteen hundred cannon fodder troops, and their share in the final distribution would undoubtedly be smaller. So, the other players merely sneered in secret without saying much.

This player was clearly aware of the situation but showed no signs of embarrassment or awkwardness on their face.

In this world, having thick skin was essential to survive.

Resources and wealth were the true currency!

Soon, more than twenty players had stated the types of troops they were sending and the number of troops.

There were humans, orcs, various other races, and some less common troop types.

After months of development, players had already developed thousands of troop growth paths, and no one had exactly the same troop composition.

Naturally, the troops sent by Wu Lun were the most powerful among them.

However, what surprised him slightly was that two players had brought sea races, totaling fifteen hundred in number. These sea-based troops, capable of freely traversing shallow waters, would serve as a safeguard in case Ji Chen attempted to escape through the ocean, thus perfecting their encirclement.

As the various players assembled their armies in front of them, excitement lit up their faces.

Although each player had only sent a portion of their troops, the combined forces of over twenty individuals amounted to more than twenty-one thousand troops – a sizeable force, to say the least.

With such a massive army, they couldn't imagine how Ji Chen could resist this overwhelming force.

To put it into perspective, even if he had a single army of ten thousand, all at 4-star tier 1 level, they would still be outnumbered two to one!

Furthermore, from a distance, this abandoned town couldn't possibly conceal ten thousand people!

Six or seven thousand would be a stretch!

Wu Lun wore an expression of confidence on his face as he smiled and said, "Indeed, there's strength in numbers. It looks like we'll easily secure this bounty."

Other players also displayed smiles, as if they could already envision themselves receiving their share of the bounty.

"All right, let's move out quickly. If the members of those major guilds show up, this bounty won't have anything to do with us."

The player who had contributed the Forest Barbarians urged them on.

Others nodded in agreement. They, as independent players, couldn't compete with the members of major guilds, who could easily field tens of thousands of troops. A single word from those guilds could drown them in an ocean of troops.

As the strongest player here, Wu Lun took on the role of the temporary commander for this offensive.

"Forest Barbarians, Muck Dwellers... and other slower troops, launch your attack directly from the front of the abandoned town.

Archers and spellcasters, take up positions outside the ruins, occupying elevated points for ranged support.

Werewolves, Jackalweres... and other fast and agile troops, initiate a swift assault from both flanks, targeting the enemy's ranged units and squishy targets.

Archers and spellcasters, take up positions outside the ruins, occupying elevated points for ranged support.

If everything goes smoothly, we'll clear out the enemy's entire force, kill, or even capture our target!"

Wu Lun methodically laid out the attack directions and tasks for each type of troop. He appeared to have the demeanor of a great commander, which reassured the other players, who showed signs of approval in their eyes.

Finally, he turned to two players who had been silent and reticent.

"As for Brothers Windforest and Mountainside, we'll entrust your sea race soldiers to surround the coastline and prevent the enemy from escaping."

The players named Windforest and Mountainside remained silent but nodded slightly.

Wu Lun paid no mind to their silence and gave them an appreciative smile.

He was deeply engrossed in the feeling of commanding and controlling the battle. After all, this was a force of over twenty thousand troops, including 4th-tier units, and despite his efforts over the years, he only had slightly over a thousand 4th-tier units and less than a thousand 3rd-tier units.

Wu Lun suppressed his excitement. He vowed that after obtaining his share of the bounty, he would acquire more recruitment camps and recruit even more powerful units.

He wanted his name to be known throughout the Northern Continent!

"Attack!"

With great enthusiasm, Wu Lun shouted loudly, fearing that Ji Chen, who was hidden in the abandoned town, might not hear.

He wanted Ji Chen to hear it, to make him face the impending outcome in fear.

However, upon hearing the distant cries resembling the buzzing of mosquitoes, Ji Chen didn't even furrow his brow. He simply sat in his chair, wearing a perplexed expression.

Why did this group of players believe that they could defeat the Ocean Crown's army with troops that didn't even reach the 5th tier and at best were 4th tier 4-star units?

 Was it their numbers?

Just because they had two armies of around ten thousand troops each?

The pressure from this mixed force, which lacked both quantity and quality, didn't faze him in the slightest.

Ji Chen didn't even have the desire to see the outcome. He shook his head and said, "Have the Naga Legion launch an attack, and let the Dragonblood Legion take care of those low-tier sea race units they sent out.

As for the other legions, including the heroes, let them rest for now."

The commanders of the two legions, Herald and Benbo, lowered their heads respectfully and responded, "Yes, we shall follow your will."

Soon enough, the players' mixed forces descended from the high ground and entered the desolate abandoned town in several waves. The faint mist lent an eerie atmosphere to the surroundings.

Although their formation appeared somewhat disordered due to the absence of a lord's direct command, it couldn't quell their strong desire to advance.

Having a force of up to twenty thousand troops was their greatest confidence!

Watching their countless allies, shoulder to shoulder, creating a sea of people, nobody believed they couldn't clear out the hidden enemy within the ruins.

Perhaps it was because the enemy saw their overwhelming strength, or maybe they were intimidated even before the battle began, but they hadn't encountered any resistance so far. They successfully penetrated the town.

The ranged units had already taken positions on the outer heights, eagerly watching the depths of the abandoned town, ready to unleash their firepower and overwhelm the enemy at any moment.

Seeing this scene, Wu Lun, standing on the high ground, felt elated.

He chuckled and said to the players around him, "I didn't expect it to go this smoothly. It's my fault for being too hasty; I forgot to grab a bottle of good wine from my territory. We could have celebrated here with all our brothers."

Others chuckled as well, and the two previously silent players, Windforest and Mountainside, even wore a rare look of pride on their faces.

As part of this temporary team of players, they were the only two with sea race units, and they understood the combat prowess of sea race units in the water very well.

As long as they didn't encounter ships with projectile firepower and underwater defense capabilities, sea race units had an absolute advantage against all land-based units on the sea's surface.

They could easily create holes at the vulnerable bottoms of those ships or damage the propellers. Those ships would then become floating coffins, and once the enemy on board fell into the water, their fate was sealed.

The player known as Ji Chen, if he wanted to escape from the sea, would have to leave his life at the mercy of the depths!

In this battle, they had no idea how they could lose!

However, just as this makeshift army, composed of dozens of different unit types, brimmed with high spirits and advanced towards the fog-shrouded heart of the abandoned town.

Amidst the increasingly dense white mist, within the uniform remnants of ruins, suddenly appeared pairs of blood-red eyes.

The Naga Guardians, gazing through the mist at the approaching enemy, gradually acquired a look of cold-blooded and murderous intent in their eyes, their breath becoming heavy.

The unit, whose bone blades were so sharp that not even the mist could conceal their ferocity, slowly raised their weapons, as if emanating a relentless thirst for blood.

The moment of slaughter... had arrived.
