Chapter 89: Turning Against Us
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Alice’s song was actually a spell. Since it was a spell, he could choose the target of the spell.
In other words, if there were 100 people in front of her, Alice could choose to control 50 of them with her voice.
These 50 people will enter a state of trance or illusion, or even be under manipulation. However, the other 50 people, although they can also hear the song, will not be affected in any way and simply find the melody pleasing.
Based on this, he devised a plan.
The plan was called “Defection Operation”.
When Ji Chen and his group confidently and fearlessly appeared near the inner city gate,
The Krieg soldiers guarding this area were all utterly bewildered.
Previously, they had searched the entire inner city but couldn’t find any trace of Ji Chen and his group.
But now, they brazenly showed up in front of them, wearing a nonchalant expression.
In an instant, it made them doubt if there was a trick behind it.
After all, they had been played like fools before and had become overly sensitive.
They were afraid of being deceived again.
However, as more and more Krieg soldiers arrived from all directions, surrounding Ji Chen and his group from inside and out, the Krieg soldiers became full of confidence.
With such a large number of soldiers present, they vowed that if Ji Chen and his group managed to escape once more, they would tear apart the city gate right then and there!
At this moment, hundreds of Krieg’s Forbidden Army received the news and rushed to the scene.
They were fully armed, resolute, and filled with killing intent in their eyes.
It seemed as though Ji Chen owed them millions of gold coins, turning him into an unforgivable enemy in their eyes.
If killing intent had weight, Ji Chen would probably have been crushed by it already.
A commanding officer stepped forward, wearing a cold sneer on his face. “I didn’t think you’d be so eager to face your demise before we even found you. Well, since you insist, listen up, everyone! Spare no one except for that man and woman!”
“Wait!”
Ji Chen’s shout interrupted their actions.
There was no panic on his face. He looked around calmly and finally looked at the Forbidden Army.
[Krieg’s Forbidden Army]
[Race: Human]
[Tier: 3, 6-star]
[Skill: Powerful Soldier Hard Armor (Blue skill, attack and defense increased by 30%)]
Protection (Blue skill, combat effectiveness in the Holy City increases by 30%)
Intimidation (Blue skill, can use a roar to intimidate the enemy, there is a certain chance to cause the enemy to enter a short stun state)
[Military characteristic: People of the Blood Sea (After death, they will be resurrected and become blood spirits with stronger combat strength)]
As expected of the Forbidden Army.
They were Tier 3 6-star, much stronger than ordinary soldiers.
They were even stronger than the strongest Naga warriors under him. Their numbers also reached 200 to 300, and they were powerful.
It could be said that the strength of this Forbidden Army was enough to wipe off Jichen and his troops.
Furthermore, they were completely surrounded by hundreds, if not thousands, of Krieg soldiers. They were like a trapped turtle with no means of escape.
To make matters worse, the officer leading the soldiers was not an ordinary individual either. He, too, possessed the powers of a hero.
[Kajiso Nolan (Hero)]
[Race: Human]
[Level: 15]
[Tier: White Common]

However, in terms of rank, it doesn’t look very impressive. At most, it’s equivalent to a commanding officer of soldiers, not posing a significant threat.
After reading the information, Ji Chen quickly grasped the situation and looked around before smiling.
“To be honest, the reason I voluntarily showed up here is because of something. Would you like to hear it?”
Kajiso was also curious upon hearing this. He wanted to know the reason behind Ji Chen’s voluntary appearance and was in no rush to capture him. In his eyes, Ji Chen and his group were already trapped, and they would be captured sooner or later. There was no need to rush at this moment.
“Speak, this is my last mercy.”
“What I want to say is, can you take the initiative to open the city gate? This way, I can save some effort and time.”
Veins popped out on Kajiso’s forehead.” Are you playing with me?”
“You’re still so arrogant even though you’re surrounded. If it wasn’t for Lord Krieg’s order to capture you alive, I would have hung you on the gate of the water stronghold and let the blood fiends eat you up.”
Kajiso gritted his teeth and looked at the calm Jichen. He suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. Without hesitation, he ordered, “Everyone, attack!”
Jichen grinned as he looked at the soldiers coming from all directions.
“Control them.”
Alice opened her lips slightly, and a different song sounded.
Like a stream of water, it drilled into the enemy’s ears.
If the spell had a visible trajectory, then Alice’s mana would have turned into several white wisps and drilled into the bodies of the powerful Forbidden guards.
In an instant, they were stunned on the spot.
The killing intent and fanaticism in his eyes gradually turned into a strange look.
“Go,” Alice said softly.
In the next moment, the Forbidden Army soldiers brandished their weapons and charged at their allies.
Although Kajiso was a hero, he was only at the lowest tier, White Common. Therefore, when faced with Alice’s song, his performance was not much better than the Forbidden Army.
With bloodshot eyes, he raised his weapon uncontrollably and slashed at the surrounding Krieg soldiers.
The Krieg soldiers did not expect their allies to attack them. They were not prepared at all, and dozens of them were killed in an instant.
The encirclement that had surrounded Ji Chen and the others was instantly torn open.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, they began to break out of the encirclement.
Meanwhile, Alice controlled the Forbidden guards to charge towards the city gate.
The surrounding Krieg soldiers were perplexed as they faced the bewildering “friendly” attacks from their comrades. They found themselves in a dilemma, unsure whether to retaliate or hold back, moving cautiously amidst the chaos.
In stark contrast, the Forbidden Army went berserk, acting like merciless puppets solely driven by a lust for bloodshed. The Tier 3, 5-star Forbidden Army soldiers effortlessly dominated their lower-tier Krieg counterparts, overpowering them as if a father disciplining his disobedient child. The display of Alice’s manipulation abilities was nothing short of horrifying.
Alice’s manipulation ability was terrifyingly effective. It completely defied the natural instincts of these creatures, forcefully controlling their minds and bodies. Jichen couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. If the Temptation Song, even at the Purple grade, possessed such immense power, how terrifying would it be at the Red grade or even higher?
With a single command, the hundreds of Forbidden Army soldiers turned against their own comrades, redirecting their blades towards them. The Sirens truly deserved their reputation as a rare and formidable marine race. Their control ability alone was enough to elevate them to the pinnacle of marine species.
In this chaotic situation, the Forbidden Army quickly reached the city gate. Alice manipulated them to hold their position at the gate while opening it.
Outside the inner city:
“Did that boss see the message we sent? Why hasn’t there been any response?”
“I guess even if he saw it, he won’t want to take the risk. After all, there are so many soldiers guarding the city. If I were him, I wouldn’t intervene either…”
“Listen, something seems to be happening in the inner city… Wait, the city gate is opening!”
The heavy gates slowly began to rise.
Before they could react, they witnessed an unbelievable scene.
Not only were a group of well-equipped soldiers assisting in opening the gates, but they were also fiercely attacking the regular Krieg soldiers, causing blood to flow.
“What is happening? They seem to be killing each other?”
“Could it be that the Krieg couldn’t pay their wages, and now these soldiers are rebelling?”
While some players speculated, they wasted no time and immediately led their armies towards the city gate.
Opportunities like these were rare and not to be missed!
