Fishmouth Canyon.
The leader of the Dragon King’s City’s thousand-strong army watched as they once again repelled the attack from the Coral Palace troops, his face filled with excitement. He couldn’t help but feel elated.
When Dragon King’s City was about to be breached, he originally intended to sacrifice himself for his country, to repay the Water Dragon Lord’s previous mercy of sparing their lives.
However, when faced with thousands of enemies, he hesitated and chose to lead his remaining troops away from the battlefield. Along the way, they gathered the scattered soldiers and brought along thousands of residents to this easily defensible location, where they could plan their next move.
But shortly after arriving here, the Coral Palace troops had found their whereabouts, and three thousand-strong armies led by none other than the Coral Lord herself had come marching in.
Initially, they felt despair, thinking there was no escape, but what happened afterward left them astonished.
The Coral Palace troops not only failed to quickly conquer them, but they were also seriously wounded in their relentless counterattacks. Three thousand against their one thousand, yet the enemy’s assaults were repelled time and time again, and hundreds of them were even killed by his forces, with minimal casualties on their side.
Even the Coral Lord herself couldn’t defeat them when leading the charge, which made them feel rather smug.
“As long as we hold onto Fishmouth Canyon and train these residents, we might be able to launch a counterattack to reclaim Dragon King’s City and rescue the Water Dragon Lord!”
“That’s right, those Coral Palace fools who are content with the status quo can’t possibly match our battle-hardened warriors. We are bound to retake Dragon King’s City!”
“What’s the big deal about the Coral Lord? She only colluded with humans to sneak attack the Water Dragon King. In a fair battle, we will surely emerge victorious!”
“Long live Dragon King’s City!”
Listening to the soldiers’ cheers, the leader of the thousand-strong army couldn’t help but smile as if the Coral Palace troops that had driven them away were nothing, and the recapture of Dragon King’s City was imminent.
However, at that moment, a soldier suddenly exclaimed, “Look outside, there are about a dozen big fellows coming our way.”
The leader of the thousand-strong army followed the gaze and immediately saw more than a dozen Azure Dragons descending slowly among the Coral Palace troops. At the head of one of these dragons stood a tall figure. Due to the distance, he couldn’t make out the details of this figure.
He watched as the Coral Palace troops kneeled before this figure.
Those Azure Dragons… he vaguely remembered them appearing during the Battle of Dragon King’s City. They seemed to be… the army of that outsider, the human!
So, that figure… could it be the same human!?
At that thought, the leader of the thousand-strong army turned pale.
Memories he’d rather not recall flooded his mind, and he would never forget the day when the Dragon King’s City’s formidable army, with all its might, had approached the Coral Palace, only to be effortlessly decimated by that emotionless human who merely waved his hand.
Endless fear surged through him like a bursting dam, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably.
There was only one thought in his mind.
These humans are absolutely unbeatable!!
In the eyes of the Coral Palace troops, Ji Chen was like a savior, but in the Dragon King’s City army, he was an unshakable nightmare.
At this moment, the other soldiers, seeing the expression on their leader’s face, seemed to have guessed something. They all wore terrified expressions, unable to even hold onto their weapons, with morale completely depleted and a look of fear and confusion on their faces.
“Leader, what should we do…”
“How about we surrender? Otherwise, that human will surely kill us all.”
“I heard that the Coral Palace doesn’t kill surrendered sea creatures. If we surrender, maybe we can survive…”
The leader of the thousand-strong army remembered the Water Dragon King, who was rumored to be imprisoned in the dark and miserable dungeons of Dragon King’s City, likely enduring torture and interrogation by the Coral Palace, resisting the persecution of the enemy.
If even the Water Dragon King was in such a state, how could they, as his subordinates, surrender without a fight?
The Water Dragon King gave him a chance to redeem himself. How could he betray the expectations of the Lord?
The leader of the thousand-strong army clenched his teeth and shouted loudly, “We absolutely cannot surrender! The Water Dragon King is still waiting for us to rescue him, and Dragon King’s City is still waiting for us to reclaim it!”
“For the loyalty to the Water Dragon King!!”
As if inspired, the other soldiers exchanged glances and mustered some courage. They raised their weapons and cried out, “For the loyalty to the Water Dragon King!”
At this moment, the Coral Palace troops, which had paused for a moment, suddenly moved again, launching a vigorous attack.
They had just prepared to defend themselves when they saw the tall figure also advancing, raising his right hand slowly.
A whirlpool suddenly formed, growing larger and larger, as if it connected heaven and earth. Even from a distance, one could sense the terrifying power contained within it.
Seeing this scene, the little bit of courage they had mustered disappeared like smoke. They knelt on the ground, their faces filled with fear.
The leader of the thousand-strong army, seeing this, inwardly cursed them as cowards, then rushed forward with a resolute expression.
Even if he were to die, he would die on the battlefield!
Soon, his figure was overwhelmed by the Coral Palace’s vast army.
This battle, which was supposed to continue for much longer and result in more casualties among the sea creatures, abruptly ended with Ji Chen’s arrival.
The thousand-strong army from Dragon King’s City in Fishmouth Canyon chose to surrender. After being disarmed, they were escorted to Dragon King’s City and locked away in its dungeons. They returned to the city in a different way.
In the palace that originally belonged to Diago, Ji Chen sat on the golden throne steps..
