The squad leader looked bewildered, swallowing hard.

Although it sounded a bit strange, he was just a small player, and these matters should be left to the council members to decide.

“I will convey these terms to Council President Hademan.”

The giant sea eagles came and went in a hurry, quickly turning into black dots on the horizon.

The Starshine City Council, upon receiving this message, exploded with anger.

“Damn, how dare that guy! Isn’t he just raising the price while sitting comfortably!?”

“This person is even more cunning than those gnome merchants! Does he think thirty thousand rare resources are just a small sum? It’s enough to buy a small island!”

They were infuriated, as the previous conditions were already quite painful for them.

Now, the so-called master of the masked woman continued to negotiate at this critical moment, using the excuse of not having enough preparation time.

These thirty thousand rare resources were not much compared to their wealth, but it was nauseating to bring it up at this final moment.

It was as if he had deliberately provoked them.

It was simply outrageous!

They had no choice, though.

Council President Hademan suppressed his inner anger and spoke loudly.

“Everyone, we don’t have time to argue further. The Sea Beast Tide is about to arrive in less than a day, and time is life.”

“The growing outrage among the people was likely orchestrated by them, all to force us into submission. Otherwise, how could those ordinary folks have the guts to assemble in front of City Hall and protest?”

“This behavior is despicable, but even if the conditions proposed by this cunning wolf are hard to accept, we have no choice. We must cooperate with them first.”

“Only by using them to repel the Sea Beast Tide can we have a chance to settle this score!”

Most of the council members agreed with these words.

“That’s right, afterward, we must make them pay! Let them know that Starshine City is not to be trifled with.”

“We can also offer some rewards secretly through commissions to manipulate those Glory Lords into assassinating the master of the masked woman.” “That’s a good idea. After all, those Glory Lords are all people who value money above all else and are keen on small profits. 1 believe they would be happy to accept such a commission.”

Ji Chen had no idea that he had suddenly been burdened with a few black pots. He didn’t guide the public opinion of Starshine City’s residents, nor did he need to. After all, besides relying on them to repel the Sea Beasts, the Starshine Islands had no other choice.

Moreover, he really wasn’t raising the price while sitting comfortably. To prepare to repel the Sea Beast army with thousands of troops, advance arrangements were necessary.

That thirty thousand rare resources was indeed a price that wasn’t meant as a scam… Well, not entirely.

But when the squad of soldiers once again appeared on the horizon riding giant sea eagles, Ji Chen knew that the deal had been made.

The Ocean Crown’s army, which had rested for a long time, moved again and headed south towards the Starshine Islands under the command of various heroic units.

“Tell your Council President Hademan that 1 need your assistance.”

Before coming, he had already received orders from the council to cooperate fully with the other side, so he nodded without hesitation, saying, “All the soldiers of the Starshine Islands will obey your command and cooperate fully with you.”

Alice, who still wore a mask, didn’t hold back and continued to speak.

“I need you to evacuate the residents of the southern islands of the Starshine Islands. Then, place a large amount of meat on the central part of each island, preferably the kind that’s fresh and bloody.

Do it as quickly as possible, and we will send troops to distract them for some time.

Besides that, you need to follow our commands to use the coastal defense artillery on the islands to minimize the range of the Sea Beasts’ impact.

You need to defend Starshine City and the port. According to our experience, there are some scattered Sea Beasts in the Sea Beast Tide who might get lost. They might even wander near the gathering point.

That’s all. We’ll take care of the rest.”

When there’s money involved, they were very dedicated and serious. The squad leader summarized the key points.

“Understood.” The squad leader remembered all of this and quickly mounted the giant sea eagle to leave.

After they left, Ji Chen came out from the military formation.

“My lord, I have conveyed your orders to them without missing a word.”

Ji Chen nodded slightly. Unlike the Ocean Crown, the Starshine Islands had a significant strategic depth. Thousands upon thousands of islands formed a vast battlefield.

This way, they didn’t need to stubbornly defend a single frontline like the Ocean Crown. They could fully utilize space to buy time and kill the Sea Beasts at the lowest cost.

To complete the arrangements mentioned earlier, the remaining time was certainly not enough. Therefore, they sent the Legion of Soul Servants to distract the Sea Beast Tide—these were Soul Servants who worked without payment, so even if they all met their demise, it wouldn’t be a significant loss. Under Alice’s clever manipulation, the Legion of Soul Servants attracted the attention of the Sea Beast Tide, making their path slightly more meandering. While it didn’t divert them completely, it did delay their arrival at the Starshine Islands by half a day.

This extra half-day, combined with the original time, gave them just enough time to complete the preparations.

The additional thirty thousand rare resources were meant to compensate for the losses incurred by the Legion of Soul Servants. After all, capturing over a thousand qualified soul servants was not an easy task..
