章 23: Chapter 23: Song of War, Food Is Worthless
編集者: Dragon Boat Translation
Ji Chen coldly spat out a few words.
"Kill them."
With the command given, the Murlocs rushed forward without hesitation.
Seeing this, the Kobolds understood that their pretense of submission had been exposed and they no longer tried to conceal their true intentions. They bared their teeth and shouted with bloodshot eyes.
"Vile humans, do you still think you can make us, the noble bloodline, submit?"
"Kill the humans and these ugly Murlocs! Increase the food supply for our tribe!"
Before they could make a move, the nearby jungle suddenly trembled.
The towering and robust Naga Warriors writhed their powerful serpent bodies, charging into the Kobolds from the side like war chariots.
With a sudden swing of their sharp bone blades on their bulky arms, the Kobolds' scales, which could only offer a pitiful defense, shattered with a resounding crack, their bodies were torn apart completely.
Swinging his saber again, a massive Kobold's head fell to the ground and rolled aside.
The Naga Warriors possessed formidable strength, wielding their two bone blades with ferocious power.
Even when hitting the Kobolds with the back of their blades, their bones shattered like rag dolls, sending them flying.
Although the difference between the two was only 2 stars, their combat power was on a completely different level.
The Naga Warriors were born for battle, with their bodies covered in strong muscles and fierce weapons.
On the other hand, the Kobolds were not skilled in combat and usually relied on traps to catch their prey.
In a direct confrontation, they were no match. In an instant, they were scattered and defeated, unable to resist.
Their obsidian spears were easily cut through by the bone blades, raining blood and flesh.
Even the sharp tip of the obsidian spear could only pierce through the snake scales and then get stuck in the strong muscles, and the Naga Warriors would easily swing their blades and cut off the Kobolds' arms, which would then fly up high before landing.
The blood splattered into the river, mixing with the blood of the animals.
At this moment, Alice walked out of the jungle, and with a slight opening of her red lips, she mercilessly presented a funeral song of death.
These Kobolds fell into an endless illusion again, smiled happily, and stopped resisting.
They died in a moment of happiness.
Ji Chen wasn't affected at all. He simply enjoyed the beauty of the song.
But in the next moment, the melodious and beautiful song suddenly changed its tone and rhythm, becoming trembling.
It sounded like war drums, iron weapons clashing, stormy waves, and surging undercurrents.
He felt the blood in his entire body boil in an instant, making him have the urge to personally go up and kill.
He took a deep breath and looked at the battlefield again.
This song that sounded like the rhythm of war was Alice's second skill, Song of War.
[Song of War (Blue skill, can use singing to motivate allies, increasing attack speed and movement speed by 30%, greatly reducing pain)]
The singing voice caused the eyes of the Murlocs to turn red, and their attack speed increased a bit. Even their dull and lifeless dead fisheyes showed a hint of killing intent.
As for the Naga Warriors, they swung their blades with great enthusiasm, fully demonstrating what it meant to be the "Northwestern Chopping King".
* Northwest Chopping King is a Chinese slang term used to describe someone who is very skilled in chopping things, especially with a knife or a cleaver. (Translator note)
Perhaps the intense pain caused one of the Kobolds, who was lost in the illusion, to briefly awaken. Its eyes widened, and it let out a hoarse and desperate roar.
"Human, our race will come to avenge us!"
"They will destroy your territory, plunder your people, and turn you into jerky... Ah!"
The next second, the Kobold was cut into two by the Naga Warrior who was blinded with rage.
In just a few minutes, all of the remaining Kobolds were completely wiped out.
"Ding ~ The battle has ended. You have obtained a glorious victory…"
[You have received 800 EXP. You have leveled up (3→4). Current EXP: (38%/100%)]
"River Murloc leveled up (3→4), Naga Warrior leveled up (1→2)."
[Siren: Alice (Hero) has leveled up (4→5)]
After the battle ended, almost all the troops present had leveled up.
After upgrading, the troops would receive a 10-minute BUFF that could greatly increase their recovery ability.
Some of the injuries that the Murlocs and Nagas had suffered in the battle were recovering at a fast pace.
Ji Chen slowly walked into the battlefield, which was filled with broken limbs and tainted blood. His expression did not change.
He had witnessed similar scenes in many battles before, so he was used to it.
But at this moment, he caught the scent of blood and even felt his cells quivering slightly.
It made him wonder if he belonged to the chaotic evil alignment.
Ji Chen narrowed his eyes as he looked at the corpses of the Kobolds on the ground.
Did the Kobold mention that their tribe would seek revenge?
It seemed that this group of Kobolds was just a hunting party, and there was another tribe of Kobolds somewhere on this island.
It appeared that this tribe was quite large.
Ji Chen silently recorded the information about the Kobold tribe in his notebook.
Since they had already become enemies, they would have to resolve the conflict and fight for resources on the island.
Either he or the Kobold would have to be eliminated. The Kobold tribe had to be wiped out completely, not a single one left!
This was a war of races and interests, and only through complete extermination could it be put to an end.
He came back to his senses.
He turned his attention to the animal carcasses that had been drained of blood.
These were all obtained by the Kobolds, but now they were his spoils of war.
He counted the number.
There were a total of forty-six animals, big and small.
The small ones weighed around ten pounds, such as the small musk deer.
The big ones weighed up to two hundred and fifty to sixty pounds, like the wild boar, and after removing the internal organs and bones, there were still two hundred units of food left.
Ji Chen did a rough calculation and estimated that there were about 3,000 units of food in total.
In addition to food, the fur of these animals was also an excellent material. After being processed, it could be used as a material for sewing clothes.
The spoils from this raid were quite satisfying.
It made him consider raiding the Kobolds.
After all, why waste time hunting when one could simply steal what they needed?
Getting something for free is always a good deal.
He asked the Murlocs and Nagas to dig a pit and bury the corpses of the Kobolds. Then, he cleaned up the bloodstains at the scene.
After having the Murlocs and Naga dig a pit, they buried the corpses of the Kobolds and cleaned up the bloodstains at the scene.
Since this place wasn't far from the territory, it could prevent other Kobold tribes from finding the location of the territory based on these traces.
After finishing the clean up, they returned with a full load of prey of all sizes.
Wilus gazed at the Murlocs and Naga Warriors, who were each carrying prey on their backs. His eyes had become desensitized to the sight.
Since the arrival of the Feudal Lord, food had become the most undervalued commodity in the territory.
It may be difficult to believe, but the most commonly produced tool by the residents were wooden racks used for drying meat.
In the open space on the north side of the territory, rows of wooden shelves were placed, with strips of dried meat hanging from them, in the process of being dried.
At first glance, it gave a sense of security.
The Crown of the Ocean was abundant in terms of food, and the animals they brought back would be sufficient to feed them for several months.
They might have to worry about the problem of constipation caused by eating too much meat.
This made Wilus couldn't help but sigh. From the days of going hungry to now having meat freedom, it had only been a few days.
And all of this was brought by the great Feudal Lord.
Like other residents, Wilus had also begun to develop a blind admiration and trust in Ji Chen. He believed that he possessed incredible power,
"Ding ~ Territory's popular sentiment increased by 3 points. Current popular sentiment is 74 points. The labor efficiency of the residents has increased by 24%"
