That gaze, somewhat familiar…
Curiosity got the better of her as she asked, “Lord Ji Chen, who is he…”
“He is Diago’s brother, Andar.”
Sonia was stunned.
How did Diago’s brother end up in the hands of the lord?
And what about the crystal horn on his head?
Seeing her puzzled expression, Ji Chen briefly explained, and she finally understood.
Diago suffered a severe injury from a single strike, causing a sharp decline in the morale of Dragon King City’s army. They were eventually overwhelmed by the relentless assaults from the Coral Palace forces and forced into retreat.
The expected chaotic slaughter by the Black Unicorn Whale and the Silverlight Half-fish beings did not occur. Instead, they were mercilessly beaten by several teams from the Crown of the Ocean.
The Naga Legion, led by the legendary hero Herald, tore through the enemy formation like a drill, breaking it into several pieces. This prevented the Black Unicorn Whale, which relied on its horn to attack enemies, from effectively charging forward. They were forced to engage the Naga Guardians in close combat and quickly fell one by one under their bone blades.
On the other side, the Dragon Blood Murlocs once again played a decisive role in the battle.
Under the natural intimidation of their bloodline, the Silverlight Half-Fish being couldn’t withstand the Trident’s shots. Moreover, the Lobster Guardian Knights were constantly watching, launching sudden charges that caught them off guard.
As the Black Unicorn Whales and Silverlight Half-Fish being fell one by one, the morale of the Dragon King City’s army plummeted to its lowest point.
Soon, as the last leader of a thousand-man squad was bombarded from a distance by the Guardian Legion, they completely collapsed, dropping their weapons and fleeing towards the city.
The Crown of the Ocean’s forces pursued them, surrounding the entire Dragon King City.
Countless residents of Dragon King City looked on with fear and anxiety.
On this day, right before their eyes, their once invincible Water Dragon King fell, and the mighty Dragon King City’s army was utterly defeated. Even the two secret armies were completely wiped out.
In the ruthless Great Luminescent Sea, for hundreds of years, Dragon King City had either enslaved or slaughtered other factions, plundering all their wealth. They had enjoyed this windfall without a care in the world.
But they had never thought that one day Dragon King City would be attacked by an enemy.
Their fear had reached its peak.
Ji Chen slowly approached Dragon King City from above, overlooking the uneasy crowd below, and signaled for Sonia to bring Diago and Andar over.
Diago was already seriously injured and was carried over like a doll, looking weak, but his eyes glared fiercely at Ji Chen as if he wanted to devour him.
Ji Chen just glanced at him indifferently and then turned to look at the bound Andar.
Andar’s expression was filled with anger.
“I asked for your help to regain the throne, not to kill so many Dragon King City soldiers! This is not what we discussed before!”
Ji Chen felt that this guy was becoming more and more unreasonable.
He calmly said, nodding towards Diago, “Your elder brother went to great lengths to find you, even launching two ten-thousand-man armies to attack.
Do you think we could have come to Dragon King City so effortlessly under the threat of so many Dragon King City troops?
Do you think that war is just child’s play? Do you think you can reclaim the throne with just your words?
It seems you still haven’t figured out why your father’s so-called loyal subordinates chose your brother over you.
It’s because of your simplicity and naivety. Nobody had faith in you.”
Andar instinctively wanted to retort but was interrupted by Diago’s maniacal laughter.
“Hahaha, my foolish little brother, you still haven’t understood this until today?
If you had stayed hidden in that little village, I might have pretended not to know where you were. After all, with just you, you posed no real threat to Dragon King City.
But for all these years, you never gave up your obsession to come back, so I had no choice but to eliminate you.
It’s just a pity that your plan to unify the Great Luminescent Sea under Dragon King City has been shattered by your collusion with humans. You are guilty!”
Diago gritted his teeth, in his view, if this human hadn’t encountered Andar in the first place, none of these subsequent events would have happened.
Perhaps this human might have chosen to stand with Dragon King City rather than the Coral Palace!
He hated it!
Hearing his bloodline elder brother speak like this, Andar felt as if he had been struck by lightning, trembling all over, with an incredulous expression on his face.
He kept muttering, “This can’t be… You must be lying to me… I am the most suitable to be the Water Dragon King…”
He still appeared as if he couldn’t believe it.
Sonia, witnessing this, shook her head. These descendants of the Dragon King were one worse than the other. If it weren’t for her long lifespan and control over the Coral Palace, the Coral Palace might have faced a similar situation by now.
The army had suffered nearly complete casualties, and the Water Dragon King was taken prisoner. It appeared that Dragon King City, once a formidable power in the Great Luminescent Sea, was heading for its demise today.
Ji Chen watched all of this with cold eyes.
He wasn’t concerned about this; he only cared about one thing.
“Where is the dimensional key that is kept in the Dragon King City?”
Diago hesitated for a moment, then burst into laughter. “So, you want that thing, and destroying Dragon King City is just a means to an end!
The dimensional key is hidden by that old man who wouldn’t die in the secret treasury. He only revealed the location and entry method to my naive second brother.”
Everyone turned to look at Andar, who had gradually come to terms with the situation. He said angrily, “I won’t tell you, and you’ll never get your hands on it!
The Great Luminescent Sea belongs to the Great Luminescent Sea Sea Clan, not to ambitious humans like you!”
Well, that was quite the ultimate statement.
But Ji Chen wasn’t surprised by this and had a plan in mind.
He said coldly, “If you don’t tell me, I will slaughter every inhabitant of Dragon King City, whether it’s the army or the civilians.
I’d like to see if you’ll choose to keep the secret or watch the innocent residents you want to protect die one by one.”
“You…!” Andar’s eyes widened in anger. “Shameless human, if you have the guts, come after me, but don’t involve innocent civilians!”
Ji Chen remained unfazed, appearing as the ultimate antagonist. “And your own bloodline elder brother will be the first victim under the blade.”
Andar looked at the increasingly weakened Diago and then at the city’s residents, his eyes filled with hesitation.
For him, this was a choice he couldn’t make. It was an agonizing decision.
If he agreed, the Great Luminescent Sea would be ruled by this human, but if he refused, the residents of Dragon King City would die because of him, which was also unacceptable to him.
With his injuries worsening and struggling to speak, Diago, who had become somewhat incoherent, looked unsurprised.
This naive and foolish younger brother of his was entangled by something irrelevant, not even recognizing this human’s feigned threat.
Hmph, Dragon King City would undoubtedly face decline or even destruction in his hands.
However, he had second thoughts. It seemed that Dragon King City wouldn’t fare any better in his own hands. He had never imagined that it would meet its downfall under his rule.
Thinking of this, Diago couldn’t help but let out a self-deprecating smile.
On the other side, as he coldly gestured, the Naga Legion was about to charge into the city, causing chaos everywhere.
Andar compromised. He gritted his teeth and revealed the location of the treasury and the method to enter it, one word at a time.
Ji Chen gestured for Anina to go and check. She immediately left the group and headed to the location mentioned by Andar.
Two hours later.
Anina returned, holding a diamond-shaped crystal that emitted a white light.
[Dimensional Key]
[Effect]: Anchors the realm, fixes the realm gate
Ji Chen’s expression changed slightly as he inspected it and confirmed its authenticity before stowing it in his backpack.
Finally, he had obtained a dimensional key. With this one and the one in the hands of the humans above the sea, the realm would belong to the Crown of the Ocean..
