Chapter 702: Meeting (3)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
This situation, it’s all about sharing knowledge.
Thankfully, Lainekel was saved back then. With his extensive experience in the Abyss of Chaos for hundreds of thousands of years, it’s safe to say that Lainekel knows more about demons than anyone else in this world.
Perhaps he knew even more than some demons would.
This included, but was not limited to, the composition of demon troops, their combat methods, characteristics, and breeding directions.
As the saying goes, “Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.” It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that with this information, the odds of victory for the orderly fraction in the subsequent wars increased by at least 20%.
However, aside from Laphia and Elin among the attendees, the expressions of the other representatives grew increasingly peculiar as they listened.
Why are you so knowledgeable about demons? You seem to know all their weaknesses like the back of your hand. It’s almost as if you’ve lived among demons before.
Even the demons’ vulnerabilities have been laid bare!
Monica, sitting in her seat, looked at Ji Chen talking eloquently, her demeanor confident and imposing. She couldn’t help but sparkle with admiration in her eyes. This appearance made Sebastian, who was sitting beside her, shake his head.
He realized his sister was hopelessly in love.
Ji Chen had an attitude that was admired by many representatives. He truly had unlimited potential. Some representatives had already begun to consider whether to send their own offspring, who were excellent in appearance and behavior, to see if they could win over this young powerhouse.
And those non-human races couldn’t help but sigh that another brilliant talent had emerged among the human race.
After Ji Chen finished speaking, he calmly sat down, while everyone was still trying to digest this information.
After a moment, Laphia, who already knew this information, spoke in an excited tone, “I propose that all countries and races should mobilize for war as soon as possible. The demon invasion is imminent. Only by uniting as we did hundreds of thousands of years ago can we defeat the forces of evil once again.”
The representative of the Mountain Giants was the first to react, saying in a deep voice, “The Mountain Giants can mobilize at any time.”
“The Markus Empire is also ready for mobilization.” The representative of the burly man at the central seat said vigorously.
“The fairy race also agrees.” The charming voice of the fairy race representative rang out.
Seeing that both the Mountain Giants and the Markus Empire had responded, and the truth of the demon invasion had been confirmed, representatives of other races and kingdoms no longer hesitated, unanimously agreeing to the call.
Soon, only the representative of Dragon Island had not yet made a statement.
The Dragon Maiden crossed her arms, glanced at the calm and composed Ji Chen, then swept her gaze over the others in their seats, took a deep breath, and said, “Since it’s true, and those evil things are going to come back, then… the Dragon Island will also respond to the call.”
After her words fell silent for a moment, someone led the applause, which quickly turned into a chorus, celebrating this historic moment.
Ji Chen nodded slightly. Although only the forces of the Northern Continent had reached a consensus for now, it was still a big step towards forming a united front against the demons. So, everything he had done before was not in vain.
The meeting dispersed.
Just as Ji Chen walked out of the gate, Monica and Sebastian approached.
“Wow, Lord Ji Chen, you were incredible during your speech!” Monica exclaimed enthusiastically. “Especially when that Dragon Maiden with the long horns questioned you, and then Queen Elin and Queen Laphia defended you. It was really impressive!”
Ji Chen smiled. The scene just now was a classic example of showing off and getting slapped in the face. But perhaps because of his current state of mind, he didn’t feel anything special about it.
Putting away his smile, he spoke with a serious tone.
“You must take this seriously. Go back and make comprehensive preparations under the command of Duke Julius. I’ve fought the demons before and know how terrifying they can be. The danger they bring far exceeds your imagination.”
Sebastian solemnly replied, “I will inform His Grace of everything we have seen and heard on this trip. We will definitely be vigilant and fully prepared for battle.”
“I will also assist my brother and father in resisting the demons and protecting the people of the duchy,” Monica said with some concern, “but Lord Ji Chen, your territory is on the front line of the demon invasion…”
Ji Chen smiled confidently, “Do you lack confidence in me?”
“Of course not!” Monica hastened to reply, “I’m just worried…”
Monica’s worries were none other than Ji Chen’s own well-being. The Crown of the Ocean, with its excellent geographical location in the early to middle stages, had now become the first target to be attacked, just like a reef standing in the sea, destined to be hit first before the tsunami comes.
If it’s weak, it will be crushed; if it’s tough enough, it will remain unscathed.
However, the location where the Ocean Crown resided was also the best terrain for him and the Ocean Crown’s army and heroes to display their prowess.
However, the problem lay in the fact that the demons were powerful. Just the faction led by the Dreadlord Balzarna alone had millions of demons. Even with over ten thousand troops in the Crown of the Ocean, it would be difficult to fight them.
Ji Chen’s eyes sparkled with determination. It appeared that the pivotal breakthrough had to occur within the Elven Empire. With some support, there might just be a chance…
“Human!”
A shout came from afar, and Ji Chen looked up to see the Dragon Maiden from the Dragon Island walking towards them, her arms crossed.
Looking at the human in front of her, Serena hesitated a bit, but still spoke in a deep voice, “I was rude to you earlier and offended you. I apologize to you here.”
Ji Chen was somewhat surprised, but still replied, “It’s nothing.”
Serena looked at Ji Chen with some suspicion. Seeing that he didn’t seem to mind much, she continued, “I speak very directly. We on the Dragon Island respect the strong and only befriend the strong. You can ask me to do something that doesn’t violate my principles as an apology, and then we can put this matter behind us.”
Ji Chen looked at Serena, who was speaking so casually, and shook his head with a smile.
“I haven’t taken it to heart, Lady Dragon Maiden…”
“I’m Serena.”
“Oh, Lady Serena, I’m not that narrow-minded. But there’s something I’d like
to discuss with you and Dragon Island.”
Serena hesitated. “What is it?”
“Well, it’s about engaging your services…”
