North of the main island of the New Moon Archipelago.

Here, between the northeastern mountains and the old indigenous settlements in the northwestern giant tree forest, was originally a piece of land between grasslands and gentle slopes. To the north, there was a cliff that rose to several tens of meters.

This area used to be home to many wild animals, but as the control of the Crown of the Ocean gradually spread, the wild animals either fled to the giant tree forest to be with the nature-loving elves or hid in the steep and winding terrain of the mountains. Some were even tamed by the soldiers and residents of the Crown of the Ocean to become pets or hunting dogs.

After the giant turtle returned from the north, its massive body leaned against the northern cliff, but even so, its height was still several stories higher than the cliff, as if the cliff was merely low ground.

From the back of the giant turtle, hundreds of flying creatures dangled strands of rock trees adorned with orange crystals, extending all the way to the land below. Meanwhile, prepared lizardmen soldiers stacked crystals, mithril, and adamantite beside the tree trunks. Upon absorbing the minerals, the previously somewhat sluggish rock trees suddenly burst with vitality. Their treetops glowed brighter as small thumb-sized crystals began to emerge one after another.

“Lord, three thousand divine power trees have been transplanted so far, and it is estimated that it will take another three days to transplant the remaining divine power trees.”

Wilus reported respectfully from the side.

Ji Chen nodded slightly.

“The divine power forest will be fenced off to keep residents away and prevent them from being cursed. Simultaneously, strict measures will be enforced to prevent outsiders from approaching and spying, ensuring the highest level of secrecy protection.”

“Yes, My Lord!”

These more than thirteen thousand divine power trees are the foundation for the future development of the Ocean Crown troops. As long as resources are continuously invested for cultivation, they could produce a large number of divine power crystals for troop evolution.

Ji Chen initially obtained 350,000 units of divine power crystals in the Sea of Death, all of which were used to promote the Sea Crystal Wyrms.

It had been two months since the last large-scale recruitment of troops. Each recruitment camp had accumulated a total of eight recruitment opportunities.

“Consuming 503,400 units of rare resources to recruit 1,120 units of Crab Guardians (Tier 5,1 star).”

“Consuming 78,636 units of mana crystals to recruit 7,360 units of Tier 6 troops.”

The cumulative number of recruitments in two months. Over eight thousand units of troops were recruited at once, which would have cost over a million rare resources and over a hundred thousand mana crystals at the original price.

However, due to the abnormal effect of the Heraklion Temple halving the recruitment cost of ocean troops, it only cost five hundred thousand rare resources and less than a hundred thousand mana crystals.

This halving of costs not only didn’t create resource pressure but even increased the inventory several times!

The Ocean Crown was now fully developed. It earned considerable resources every week and had earned a total of 5 million rare resources and a million gold coins in the past two months.

With the existing inventory plus the additional three hundred thousand units of mana crystals sent by the Elven Empire, the Ocean Crown’s resource inventory now had 5.5 million rare resources and 1.17 million units of mana crystals.

It could be said that what currently limited the Ocean Crown’s army wasn’t resources but the limit of recruitment camps!

Ji Chen opened the troop talent tree, clicked on the divine power troop page, and transformed all existing Sea Crystal Wyrms into divine power troops.

“Consuming 287,500 units of divine power crystals, 1,150 Ocean Crystal Wyverns (Tier 6, 3 stars) evolve into Divine Power Ocean Crystal Wyverns (Tier 6, 9 stars).”

Nearly 300,000 divine power crystals were consumed, yet only a little over a thousand Ocean Crystal Wyverns evolved. Faced with such immense costs and consumption, it filled him with curiosity.

With a flick of his hand, he opened their information panel.

Tier 6 Unit: Ocean Crystal Wyvern

[Divine Power Ocean Crystal Wyvern]

[Race]: Ocean Crystal Creature (Divine Power)

[Tier]: Tier 6, 9 stars

[Abilities]:!. Destruction Beam (Golden skill): Condenses energy beams to attack enemies. The power of the energy beam weakens with distance, with a significant decrease in effectiveness. The maximum effective killing range extends to 300 meters, with additional divine power damage.

2. Prism Barrier (Golden skill): Condenses over a hundred prism barriers around the body to resist attacks. Under the prism barrier protection, resistance to negative effects is significantly increased.

3. Void Crystal Wings (Golden skill): Possesses four pairs of crystal wings, enabling flight and deep diving. Flight speed increased by 300%, swimming speed increased by 200%, with the ability to briefly enter spatial concealment.

4. Crystal Body (Golden skill): The body constructed of crystal reduces damage by 40% and possesses self-healing capabilities.

5. Negative Insulation (Orange skill): A special crystal construct creature unaffected by curses, toxins, and other effects.

6. Hypcrspeed Flight (Orange skill): Changes the posture of the crystal wings, gradually entering a high-speed flight state, doubling flight speed. Difficult to stop while in this state.

[Unit Characteristics]: Can slowly evolve by consuming special crystals, enhancing tier.

[Bloodline Ability]: Ocean Crystal Core (All attributes increased by 70%, significant increase in self-repair speed, additional 200% increase in flight speed, 400% increase in beam condensation speed and damage).

[Special construct creature composed of ocean crystals, possessing flight capabilities and both physical and magical attack abilities.]

From the data, the effective damage range of the beam has been significantly extended. According to his previous observations, the effective attack range of the Ocean Crystal Wyvern’s beam was no more than 150 meters, beyond which the damage and ballistic stability would dramatically decrease..
