Chapter 705: A Million Spirit Crystals

After some bargaining, both sides finally settled on the final plan.

The elves would be responsible for locating Gloria and excavating resources. Thirty percent of the profits would go to Ji Chen.

But this was just for Gloria City. As for the treasury within the city, its distribution would depend on the number of treasury key fragments. With at least three fragments in his possession, Ji Chen would have control over at least thirty percent of the treasury.

Ji Chen was quite satisfied with this outcome. All he had to do was provide the map and key fragments, and he could sit back and enjoy a substantial income. It was quite comfortable for him.

“It seems we’ve reached a consensus,” Laphia said with a hint of relief on her face. The issue of Gloria, which had troubled the Elven Empire for generations, unexpectedly took a new turn at this unexpected moment.

Although thirty percent of the profits were distributed, it was still a successful transaction.

Apart from the resources, what she valued most about Gloria were the racial origins of the elves contained within, as well as the various elven technologies and secrets that might offer solutions to the elves’ reproduction issues.

As for whether she thought she was making a profit or not, that was subjective.

Another task had reached its intended goal, and Ji Chen’s mood had improved, but there was still one thing left to do.

“Sigh.”

Both Laphia and Elin looked at Ji Chen, who sighed heavily. Laphia asked somewhat puzzled, “Lord Ji Chen, we reached an agreement so quickly. Why do you seem unhappy?”

Elin seemed to sense something and said slowly, “Could it be because of the demons?”

Worry creased Ji Chen’s face as he nodded. “Exactly. The demon invasion worries me greatly. My territory is located on the front lines of the demon army’s attack led by the Dreadlord Balzarna. Once they launch a full-scale a.s.sault, the Ocean Crown will undoubtedly be the first target.”

Elin nodded. After escaping, she stayed in the Ocean Crown for a few days and knew firsthand how dire the situation was with the demon invasion.

“At this moment, the Ocean Crown needs resources for development and preparation the most. But it’s hard to obtain a large amount of resources from Gloria or any other source in a short time. We might be powerless against the demon army’s attack.”

Ji Chen didn’t stop there; he continued, “Once the Ocean Crown falls, there may be no territory or force in the Western Mid-Ocean capable of resisting the attack. By then, the Northern Continent will be in grave danger…”

Having been empress for hundreds of years, Laphia quickly understood Ji Chen’s meaning. He was seeking a.s.sistance!

Upon further reflection, it made sense.

The Dreadlord Balzarna’s attack from the sea direction aimed to quickly conquer all the territories, forces, and races on the sea and provide a springboard for the subsequent demon army to attack the Northern Continent directly.

As Ji Chen had said, the Northern Continent would be bypa.s.sed entirely, directly threatened by the demon attack.

No one wanted their own territory to face direct threats. What they wanted most was to keep the war contained in the Eastern and Western Continents and the Mid-Ocean, to prevent their territories from being affected by the flames of war.

So, if the Crown of the Ocean could block the Dreadlord Balzarna in the central sea area of the middle ocean, it would give them more time to prepare and minimize losses.

In just a few seconds, Laphia understood the interests involved.

Her eyebrows relaxed, and she smiled.

“Lord Ji Chen, I believe we have another deal to make.”

The transit station between the Chaos Abyss and the main world.

Central tent.

The Dreadlord sat in the first seat, suppressing the anger in his heart, and said, “Can someone tell me why the news about our imminent return to the main world is spreading everywhere?”

The demon lords on both sides had various expressions, some angry, some expressionless, some embarra.s.sed, but none dared to respond to the question.

“Sostho, didn’t I ask you to inform our allies to intercept the airship carrying that human lord?”

The demon lord called Sostho was singled out, and suddenly looked fearful, saying, “Lord Balzarna, I have already informed the evil orcs to ambush on the route that the airship must pa.s.s, and dispatched five squadrons of aerial fighters, but they… seem to have been completely wiped out.”

Sostho cursed the stupid evil orcs in his heart. Tens of thousands of years ago, evil orcs were considered one of the leading races in the evil fraction, but now they couldn’t even stop an airship!

Shameful!

Indeed, not only elves and humans, but even the former allies of the evil fraction have become weak.

Balzarna fell silent. It seemed that he could only blame the incompetent evil orcs, but he didn’t expect that even the Exile Mystic Realm couldn’t kill that human lord, letting him leave safely with the ocean pixies and the featherfolk, and he didn’t expect that the human lord would head straight to the elven empire, making it impossible for them to mobilize forces in time to intercept, relying only on those useless evil orcs.

It was a miscalculation.

A demon commander spoke up.

“Lord Balzarna, according to our investigation, the reason why the forces of order reached a consensus so quickly is because they discovered traces of summoning evil servants from the Undead Lord.”

“I remember Maldonis only chose secluded mystic realms to act, and after the sacrifice, he would also let the demon hunters seal the entrance.. How could it be discovered from the outside?”
