The player with a system, possessing abilities that the natives lacked, could quickly acquire items through the attribute panel of the system, unlike the natives who relied solely on their instincts.

In this regard, it was evident that even an elf of Yasen’s caliber had overlooked this, mistaking the original bloodline of the Deep Sea Nagas for the essence blood of the Deep Sea Nagas.

Ji Chen’s mind was slightly relieved, and he put it into his backpack.

The next morning.

Ji Chen, accompanied by Alice, returned to the port, boarded a ship to the area where the warships were anchored in the nearby sea, and led the Ocean Crown’s army to the location of the Marshland Dragon, as mentioned by the two clowns, Monkey Gift and Monkey Gift Hair.

Raymond, a person without combat capability, naturally stayed at the estate.

Since this time required a journey to the land, the army brought along only a few types of units that could be effective, including 820 Naga Berserkers and 840 Dragon Blood Murlocs, for a total of 1660 units.

Although not a large force, it should be sufficient to deal with two or three dozen Marshland Dragons.

Maple Harbor and Maple City prohibited the entry of armies, so Ji Chen landed his troops on a mudflat about ten kilometers away from Maple City.

He took out the map.

According to the map’s markings, the marsh was located to the northwest, and on the way, they needed to pass through a branch of the Alvin Mountains. Although it was not the main battlefield between the Maple Principality and the trolls, there were still quite a few trolls lurking there.

The level of danger was not high.

With the Naga Berserkers and Dragon Blood Murlocs, as long as they didn’t encounter the main troll forces, there shouldn’t be too much of a problem passing through.

Thinking of this, Ji Chen felt slightly reassured, put away the map, and continued forward with the army.

Along the way, they merged onto a road.

Many civilians of the Maple Principality, with their families in tow, hurriedly passed by with anxious expressions, heading toward Maple City.

They were probably fleeing to seek refuge in Maple City due to the troll invasion. However, Ji Chen also saw several units of Maple Principality soldiers rushing to the front lines along the road to stop the trolls from invading and pillaging.

The contrast between the civilians and the soldiers traveling in opposite directions was stark.

Suddenly, a shadow descended from the sky.

Looking up, Ji Chen saw a fleet of airships that he had seen once before, slowly flying overhead from a hundred meters high, accompanied by over a thousand Royal Griffon Knights, heading toward the Alvin Mountains.

Amidst such a scene where armies were advancing and civilians were retreating, the Ocean Crown’s army on its way to the front lines stood out.

At the same time, many players, like Ji Chen, were also leading their own units towards the front lines. However, in Ji Chen’s eyes, their units seemed somewhat disorganized, a mishmash of second and third-tier units, human, non-human, and demi-human units, making it hard to understand how they were maintaining the morale of their armies.

Out of curiosity, Ji Chen struck up a conversation with a player.

“Why are you heading to the front lines for the troll invasion?”

The player he spoke to was a bit surprised. He had already noticed Ji Chen leading a seemingly formidable army, appearing quite influential, so he hadn’t dared to speak before.

Unexpectedly, he was now being approached, feeling a bit flattered.

He replied promptly, “The Maple Principality has issued a large-scale mission to defend against and defeat the trolls. Many players from Maple City have accepted the mission and are leading armies to the front lines.”

“The rewards for this mission are exceptionally generous and can be exchanged for merit points obtained by killing trolls.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Chen nodded in understanding.

He had forgotten about this. The natives often issued tasks and commissions to players, and this troll invasion was probably their way of seeking assistance.

The player then asked in a somewhat strange manner, “Bro, didn’t you also accept the mission before coming here? If you go kill trolls without taking on the mission, it would be a big loss. You won’t be able to make up for the lost rewards.”

Ji Chen smiled slightly but didn’t answer directly.

He casually remarked, “This troll invasion seems a bit unusual. Be careful, buddy. Don’t lose your life over it.”

Without waiting for a response, he waved his hand and led his army to continue marching.

The player was stunned, watching the Ocean Crown’s army quickly move ahead, creating some hesitation.

Even the big shot said that this invasion was unusual. Maybe… he shouldn’t go?

After marching for several hours and passing through several checkpoints, they arrived outside the Alvin Mountains, at the last checkpoint that the trolls had yet to attack—a camp on high ground.

Here, a Maple Principality army of two thousand soldiers was stationed, tasked with early warning and defending against troll invasions.

“Sir!”

Just as Ji Chen was about to pass through directly, he heard a familiar voice.

He turned around and saw Kris, wearing a smile, accompanied by several elves, walking towards him.

“How did you end up here?”

“There’s an agreement between the elves and the Maple Principality. During times of war, we help them defend against invaders. I was ordered to lead three squads of elves and rushed here overnight to garrison this place.”

According to the military organization in this world, troops were typically divided into squads, platoons, companies, and legions, with numbers ranging from 10,100,1000, and 10,000, respectively.

A platoon consisted of 100 soldiers, so three squads of elves meant a total of 300 elves.

Considering the strength of the elves, it was indeed a formidable force.

“I see…”

Ji Chen nodded and teased, “But every time I see you, Kris, the number of soldiers under your command keeps growing. First, it was a squad of elves, then dozens of elves, and now it’s three squads of elves.. Are you going to lead a full platoon of elves next time?”
