It seemed that the time for the sea clan to mobilize was not far off.

Inside the majestic temple, Theresa sat on her throne, suppressing the anger in her heart as she looked down at the sea clan soldiers.

“How are those supply stations?”

The sea clan soldiers lowered their heads and dared not raise them. “Yes, when we arrived, they had all been destroyed. None of our fellow clansmen who were stationed there survived, and all the supplies were plundered. All twelve supply stations were destroyed.”

As these words came out, sea clan nobles and officials alike showed expressions filled with righteous indignation.

“Damn those demons! We cannot let this go unpunished!”

“If it weren’t for us selling weapons and equipment to them, how could they have so easily taken over such vast lands, and dared to attack us!?”

The sea clan soldiers spoke with a tone filled with grief and anger.

“Your Majesty, we must seek revenge for our brethren!”

Theresa rose from her throne, her expression unusually stern. “1 won’t let our kin die in vain. The demons will pay a heavy price.”

She looked around at the many sea clan nobles and continued in a commanding tone.

“Everyone, the demons have revealed their greedy ambitions and evil intentions. They have brazenly shown their claws to us. Are we going to continue hiding here, waiting for the demon army to encroach upon us?”

“No, we cannot! We must teach them a lesson!”

“Your Majesty, it’s time to let those races know of our sea clan’s strength, starting with those vile demons and savage orcs!”

The sea clan nobles spoke with righteous fervor. In this atmosphere, even those sea clan nobles who were reluctant to go to war had no choice but to remain silent.

The enemy was closing in on them rapidly, and if they didn’t engage in battle soon, they feared they would become the target of widespread criticism.

Theresa nodded in satisfaction and continued in a commanding tone.

“Since they want war, we shall give them war!

From this moment on, Heraklion enters a state of war mobilization. Assemble the soldiers and prepare for war supplies! Let those foolish demons and orcs witness our power!”

With the orders given, the prosperous underwater city of Heraklion instantly sprung into action. Countless sea clan members began preparations for war.

And Ji Chen, just as he had expected, was soon invited by Theresa to her palace.

Theresa’s palace was located at the top of the majestic temple, high above a kilometer in the air.

Guided by a maid, Ji Chen passed through layers of guards and arrived at this luxurious palace. When he entered, the epic sea clan powerhouse was looking down at the entire Heraklion through the window.

Theresa withdrew her gaze and slowly turned around, her face devoid of any emotion.

“Human, did all of this go according to your expectations?”

“I understand Lady Theresa’s feelings and suspicions. After all, 1 have only been here for a short time, and such a thing happened.” Ji Chen shook his head, his expression sincere. “But I really have nothing to do with this. How could a human like me command the enemy?”

Theresa neither confirmed nor denied it, but she had a faint premonition that the sudden tearing of the agreement and the brazen attack by the demons were closely related to this human gifted by the gods.

In fact, it was precisely because the Demon Hunters saw the Sea Clan’s army from the Crown of the Ocean joining the alliance of elves and humans that they believed the Sea Clan had already torn the agreement. It was even more due to the presence of Alice.

Coincidentally, the ruler of Heraklion was of the Siren race, and the ruler herself was none other than Theresa, a Siren. This further confirmed that she had given her consent, which was why the Sea Clan’s army from the Crown of the Ocean participated in the war.

It could be said that this was a result of many coincidences.

Theresa did not continue on this topic, as she was not too concerned about it.

War was already inevitable.

She even felt a hint of joy in the demons’ inexplicable attack, as it united the hearts of the Unified Kingdom and removed the obstacles to launching the war.

As an epic powerhouse, Theresa knew the brutality of the divine war outside. Countless races and kingdoms were killing each other, even the gods were fighting in places unseen. How could their Sea Clan remain detached forever?

Being involved was only a matter of time. Therefore, it was better to take the initiative, swiftly occupy territory at lightning speed, and gain more resources. Through war, they could continually strengthen the Sea Clan.

However, due to the previous prevailing war-weariness and the mentality of watching from afar within the kingdom, she had no chance to express her desire for war, despite her intentions.

But now, a perfect opportunity had arisen.

With this thought in mind, Theresa looked at Ji Chen and spoke with a solemn tone.

“In a maximum of five days, Heraklion will complete its war mobilization and officially join the war. Human, 1 request that you provide information on the orcs and demons.”

Ji Chen smiled slightly. “Of course, I am more than willing to help. The nearest battlefield is not far from Heraklion, just two hundred miles west of here.

There are hundreds of thousands of orc troops and tens of thousands of demon forces attacking a coastal area called Panas.

1 believe that if Heraklion can assist the alliance of elves and humans in completely annihilating these orc and demon forces, it will surely give them a painful lesson.”

Theresa’s eyes deepened as she nodded. “Very well, then let Panas Coast become the site of our Sea Clan’s first victory. Since the demons have reached out their claws to us, I will cut off those claws without mercy!”

As she spoke, a system prompt suddenly sounded in her ear.

“Ding- You have successfully persuaded the Sea Clan to join the war, greatly increasing the chances of victory in the Battle of Panas. Completion rate of the instance increased by 50%, currently at 60%.”

Ji Chen was pleasantly surprised.

Darn!

Persuading the Sea Clan to join the war directly increased the instance completion rate by 50%, and it’s already at 60% now!

This was an incredible gain!

However, he soon became puzzled. After persuading the Sea Clan to join the war, the completion rate was at 60%. How could he obtain the remaining 40% completion rate?

Was there something he had overlooked or not considered?

At that moment, Theresa suddenly spoke up.

“This child’s potential should have been limited to the Red-Legacy Tier for a long time, right?”

Ji Chen was momentarily taken aback and then realized she was talking about Alice. He nodded without hesitation.

Receiving his response, Theresa continued, “I have a way to help her break through her potential.”

Ji Chen’s eyes lit up. There was such a good opportunity?

“Our Siren clan has had a systematic advancement route since ancient times. As long as the bloodline is thick enough, one can grow all the way to the Epic Tier.

The reason she has been stuck at the Red-Legacy Tier is that her bloodline density is too low, preventing her from fully unleashing the power of a Siren.” Theresa looked at Alice. “I can use secret techniques to increase her bloodline density.”

Ji Chen hesitated for a moment and asked, “Why do you want to help Alice?”

Theresa replied, “Consider it my care for a fellow clan member. The Siren clan has always been scarce in numbers, and the total number in Heraklion is only a handful. If I can help an external clan member grow, it can also contribute to the development of our clan.”

There was another point she didn’t mention. A Siren accompanying a Divine Patron might bring new opportunities for the development of the Siren race.

Without much hesitation, Ji Chen said, “If Alice wants to, 1 will have no objection.”

Alice didn’t hesitate at all and said, “If it’s what the Lord wishes, I’ll accept it.”

Theresa nodded. “It should be possible to complete this during the days leading up to the official start of the war.”

Alice was left with Theresa, and Ji Chen departed from Heraklion on a Sea Crystal Wynn.

At the same time….
