Seeing this scene, the other guards and sailors saw a glimmer of hope and followed suit, dropping their weapons and kneeling on the ground.

No one wanted to be at odds with their lives. Except for a few die-hard loyalists, the rest chose to surrender.

Soon, after the last defiant enemy was beheaded, control of the warships was taken over.

The same scenario was unfolding on the other warships as well.

Over a dozen minutes later, apart from a few ships entangled by the giant octopus, the remaining warships and their occupants were all captured.

Meanwhile, in the western waters of the New Moon Islands, the army led by Benbo launched a similar attack and successfully captured more than a dozen warships.

These events happening on both fleets were unknown to the members of the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce, who were aboard the flagship. At this moment, they were immersed in the joy of discovering the New Moon Islands.

Looking at the crescent-shaped islands that emerged on the sea surface, with pristine white beaches, vast tidal flats, towering peaks, and lush forests, everyone couldn’t contain their excitement.

“Amazing! Raymond was right. The Stormy Sea indeed harbors such a beautiful archipelago.”

“Once we fully occupy this place, with such an advantageous location, the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce will undoubtedly become the most powerful chamber in the Western Mid-Ocean!”

The words of each member stoked the flames of avarice within them, as they yearned to lay claim to the islands immediately, turning them into an endless fountain of wealth.

No major force knew of the existence of this island, so it was their best chance to take it.

As for the island’s lord?

While he might have some strength, they didn’t believe he could defeat them.

To ensure a foolproof operation, the Hanseatic Chamber invested two-thirds of its warships and guards.

They were confident that their plan was foolproof.

Just as their conversation shifted from how to seize the island to how to distribute the spoils after seizing it, suddenly, a sailor exclaimed.

“Look! There’s a person standing on the water!”

From afar, a dashing man adorned in opulent garments stood confidently with hands clasped behind his back atop a water column soaring over ten meters high, gazing down upon them.

“I am the Lord of the Ocean Crown, the master of the New Moon Islands. This is my territory. I advise you all to turn around and leave.”

His voice rang in their ears despite the considerable distance and the sound of the waves.

Several members looked at each other.

The master of the islands.

Wasn’t that the lord they were supposed to deal with this time?

He dared to personally show up. Didn’t he know how powerful they were?

Gassani stepped forward, his face oozing with cunning and malice. “Who said this island belongs to you? The Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce discovered this place several years ago. By tradition, this island belongs to us, and you are the intruders.”

“But our lord is magnanimous. As long as you obediently leave, we can forgive your invasion.”

The other members, slightly surprised by Gassani’s audacity, also chimed in, looking at him as if it were a matter of course.

“That’s right, we discovered this place long ago. This archipelago belongs to us!”

“Leave quietly, and you can live. Otherwise, there’s only a dead end for you.”

Listening to these people, one after another, claiming the New Moon Islands as theirs, Ji Chen couldn’t help but marvel at their shamelessness.

Although he arrived here a little over two months ago and wasn’t a native of this place, their claims that the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce had discovered the islands long ago were pure nonsense.

As Ji Chen gazed at the man with a wicked beard standing at the forefront, he arched an eyebrow and inquired, “You must be Gassani?”

Feeling something amiss from Ji Chen’s indifferent tone, Gassani instinctively sensed danger but still replied, “That’s right, I am Gassani.”

“Oh- The people you sent last time are now toiling away in the dark mines. Thanks for providing me with such a batch of labor.”

Hearing this, Gassani’s face darkened instantly. Seeing the contemptuous and taunting look in Ji Chen’s eyes, he felt even more furious and said with a resentful look.

“Once 1 catch you, I’ll let you taste the specially crafted torture I have prepared.”

“All warships, target the enemy! Prepare to fire!” he commanded.

Following the orders, the fleet adjusted its direction, aligning one side of the ships towards Ji Chen. The well-trained gunners calibrated the cannons and loaded the shells, completing ail preparations for the barrage.

Seeing Ji Chen’s indifferent expression, Gassani felt a surge of joy. If he didn’t know any better, then so be it.

No matter how strong he was, could he withstand the bombardment of hundreds of cannonballs?

“Fire!”

Accompanied by white smoke, the cannons launched a barrage of shells, arcing through the air at high speed.

With a hint of disdain curling at the corners of his mouth, Ji Chen manipulated the seawater to envelop himself.

In the next moment, he disappeared from the surface, leaving no trace.

The cannonballs whooshed past, striking the sea and sending towering splashes into the air.

Seeing this scene, Gassani and his crew on the ships were stunned.

“Where is he? Where did he go!?”

As they gazed helplessly at the empty sea, they heard a shout from behind.

“He’s over there!”

Turning around, everyone saw Ji Chen had appeared in the center of the entire fleet, levitated by a column of condensed seawater several dozen meters high.

A vast surge of mana emanated from him, and his robes fluttered in the wind.

Looking at the stunned crowd on the deck, Ji Chen smiled faintly.

“Activate the domain.”

[Tidal Domain (Orange Skill, can activate a tidal domain with a radius of 500 meters, reducing enemy attributes by 0-70% based on the power gap between enemies and allies, decreasing physical and magical damage by 30%, and reducing mana consumption by 30%).]

As Ji Chen’s words fell, a shockwave surged outward from him, unleashing a ring of fierce waves that crashed against the enemy ships, causing them to rock violently.

The shockwave and waves continued until they reached 500 meters away, then stopped.

Next, strands of seawater defied gravity, spiraling upwards in a one-kilometer diameter circle centered on Ji Chen, rising to a hundred meters in height.

In an instant, a water curtain stood tall between heaven and earth, resembling a supreme miracle.

At this moment, the Tidal Domain was activated.

Suddenly, Gassani and his men felt their bodies weakened as if they had lost much of their strength.

“Ding- Tidal Domain formed, reducing physical and magical damage by 30% and reducing mana consumption by 30% within the domain.”

“Ding- Enemies suppressed by the Tidal Domain, all attributes reduced by 60%.”

Seeing the system prompts, Ji Chen nodded in satisfaction.

The Tidal Domain was indeed formidable. Within the domain, enemies were weakened to the point of vulnerability, while his own immense power continued to surge into his body.

With a wave of his hand, a tremendous amount of mana spewed forth. The seawater acted as an extension of his fingers, capable of forming colossal waves at any moment to engulf the enemy.

At this moment, he felt like a supreme-ruler!

Looking down at the terrified enemies from a higher vantage point, Ji Chen smiled gently, spreading his hands apart with a slight curve of his fingers.

The seawater swiftly rose, condensing into a pair of giant water hands.

Ji Chen clasped his hands together, firmly holding the warship, then lifted his palms upwards. The giant water hands hoisted the warship from the sea into the air.

Gassani and his companions felt the ship shake, quickly gripping the rails to stabilize themselves. To their horror, they found themselves and the warship hovering several dozen meters above the sea.

Looking down, the water hands appeared to hold the warship like a toy.

And all of this was undoubtedly the doing of the man before them.

This wasn’t an ordinary lord; he was a powerhouse!

Gassani and the others realized that they had tried to seize the territory of such a formidable person. Not only had they been disrespectful in their words, but they had also threatened him.

Panic filled their hearts.

Their legs turned weak, and one by one, they collapsed to the ground.

Their eyes were filled with fear.

But in the next moment, they saw Ji Chen slowly reveal a cold smile.

Thinking of running after offending a powerful figure like him?

They should stay here obediently and work as miners for the rest of their lives!
