However, Theodore, who had already been on high alert, reacted faster. When he saw the black mist, he quickly withdrew, narrowly avoiding the skeletal claw’s thrust toward his heart, leaving a not-so-deep wound on his shoulder.

In this momentary daze, the staff and guards in the command post also reacted. They picked up their weapons and rushed to protect Theodore.

A legendary-tier demon hunter and a dozen of his minions, guided by the coordinates provided by the black skull, tore through space and arrived with the intent to execute a decapitation strategy against the elven commander.

The demon hunter’s first strike failed, but he struck again with his claw. However, Theodore had already activated his defensive artifact, blocking the second attack. With the guards’ cover, he retreated outside.

“Curses!”

The demon hunter cursed and casually slew the elven guards blocking his way, then swiftly pursued Theodore.

As long as they could eliminate Theodore, the elven army would crumble!

Despite the sacrifices made by the elven guards to stop them, the legendary-tier Demon Hunter was still too powerful. With a swing of its bony claws, it left behind nothing but severed limbs and shattered bodies, and no elf could withstand its relentless assault.

As Theodore barely escaped from the underground shelter to the outside, the bone claws that had been tearing at his flesh were still approaching from behind.

Just when he thought he was about to meet his end, a piercing explosion echoed through the air.

Sensing this overwhelming hostility, the Demon Hunter had no choice but to retract its claws and use its spatial abilities to retreat.

At the same spot, a young human woman yanked a massive sword that had been deeply stuck in the ground.

In the sky, over a hundred sea crystal wyverns surrounded it, with a human standing atop the leading one, wearing an indifferent expression.

Although Theodore didn’t know where this human had come from, he wisely called out loudly, “Sir, help me!”

At this point, the elves still used the word “help” rather than “save,” highlighting the pride and arrogance of the elves in this era towards humans.

However, Ji Chen didn’t mind this detail and simply waved his hand lightly.

Anina charged forward with her sword, while Herald and Benbo also jumped off their sea crystal wyverns. The three formed a triangular formation to encircle the demon hunter.

With three hero units, Herald taking the lead in the attack and Benbo and Anina providing support, they had a significant advantage over the legendary-tier demon hunter.

The demon hunter excelled in assassination but lacked strong defensive capabilities. Faced with opponents whose strength matched or even exceeded his own, he quickly found himself at a disadvantage, sustaining numerous wounds.

If not for his ability to utilize spatial shifts to evade attacks, he would have been defeated long ago.

“Damn it, where did these sea heroes come from!? Did the sea clans decide to join the battle?”

“No, I must relay this information back.”

Seeing that his attempt to assassinate the elven commander had failed, and realizing that if he didn’t leave now, he would be held accountable here, the demon hunter reluctantly decided to withdraw.

After a few rounds of combat, he bit the bullet, sacrificing one of his arms to create some distance, then swiftly tore through space to escape the scene.

The three sea heroes charged forward but lost track of the enemy, so they had no choice but to return.

“Lord, it’s our incompetence that allowed the enemy to escape…”

Herald and the others returned to Ji Chen, their expressions filled with self-blame.

“It’s not your fault. Next time, we’ll finish it off,” Ji Chen waved his hand dismissively.

The demon hunter was a demon unit naturally endowed with spatial traversal abilities, known for their agility and difficulty to defeat. Moreover, this one was a legendary-tier demon hunter.

Now, it had to pay the price of losing an arm.

“Ding- You successfully rescued Elven Commander Theodore, thwarted the demon’s plans, and prevented the elven army from losing its leader. The completion percentage of the instance has increased by io%.”

“Ding- Elven goodwill has slightly increased, orc animosity has slightly increased, demon animosity has greatly increased.”

Ji Chen nodded as he read the system prompts.

It seemed that rescuing the elven commander was the correct strategy.

At this moment, Elven Commander Theodore walked over with the protection of many hastily returning elven elites and soldiers. He looked at Ji Chen and the group of Ocean Crown heroes with a complex expression.

He had never imagined that one day he would be rescued by a human, let alone by a group of ocean heroes and ocean units. It left him with mixed emotions.

Just as they were about to be overtaken by the thousand-strong team of Hawk Riders chasing after Ji Chen and his group, Theodore finally arrived, and the Elven Centurion saw that Theodore, as well as several officers and high-ranking officials, were all there. He thought that this human had offended many high-ranking officers and looked extremely anxious.

He immediately guided his hawk mount to land, dismounted, and quickly knelt on one knee, expressing his sincere apologies.

“Lord Theodore, I failed to stop this human. Please forgive my mistake!”

Theodore glanced at him and thought to himself, “If you had stopped him, I might not have survived.”

“You may withdraw for now and be on alert for the orc fleet.”

At this moment, the Elven Centurion realized that things might not be as he had originally thought. However, he still bowed once again before leading his subordinates away.

Theodore looked at the strange combination of a human accompanied by four ocean heroes and a group of ocean units, feeling puzzled.

However, after some thought, he took the initiative to say, “Thank you for your assistance, sir, in driving away that demon. However, with such powerful heroes and units under your command, 1 doubt you would remain so unknown, right?”

“Code-named the Islander, Lord of the Ocean Crown, as for my true name, I won’t reveal it.

They are my friends.”

Theodore pondered the name for a moment but couldn’t recall any well-known human lords or strong individuals matching it in his memory. He also understood why Ji Chen only mentioned his code name. If the true name were known, it could potentially be used as a curse medium by enemies from the evil faction.

He asked slowly, “So, how did you and your group know that the Demon Hunter would come to assassinate me at this moment?”

Upon hearing this, Tian Shu and the others had somewhat strange expressions on their faces.

They couldn’t just say that this was all part of a game that they had rerun several times before, with the Demon Hunter killing him each time, right?

They looked at the Islander with pleading eyes, hoping he could smooth things over for them.

Ji Chen replied in a calm tone, “The gods sent us to help you win this war.”

Tian Shu and the others immediately wore bewildered expressions.

Huh?

Hey! Is it really okay to use such a far-fetched reason!?

However, to their surprise, Theodore did not react as strongly as they had imagined, although there was a hint of surprise on his face. They suddenly realized that the background of this war was in the era of the War of the Gods, when the gods still walked the world. Perhaps they could use this reason to bluff their way through, but it depended on whether they could pull it off.

Theodore suddenly realized this as well, but he still had a trace of doubt in his eyes. “Do you have any evidence, sir? After all, the supreme gods of the lawful faction are entangled with the enemy’s gods. How could they pay attention to us here?”

Tian Shu and the others felt a sudden chill, and their faces immediately tensed. However, when they saw the calm expression of the Islander, they gradually relaxed.

Ji Chen smiled slightly, raised his hand slowly, and a deep blue light dot appeared in his palm.

—The power of the ocean.

Tian Shu and his companions found the tiny speck of light to be enchanting and captivating, but for Theodore and his fellow elves, it sparked an overwhelming sense of awe and astonishment.

“Are you… a Divine Patron?”

Ji Chen nodded slightly.

In the era when the gods walked the world, the worship and faith in the gods by various races were unbelievable, and faith would occasionally cloud one’s judgment.

Theodore finally completely believed that this power could only be bestowed by the gods, and only the gods could foresee such events. If it weren’t for the gods sending this human to help them, there was no way he could possess such power.

“Sir Islander, I thank you for coming to support us, and I hope you don’t mind our earlier offense,” Theodore said, his tone filled with gratitude.

Ji Chen also waved his hand generously. “As long as it’s for the victory of this war and making the evil races pay the price, nothing else matters to me.”

A trace of admiration and respect flashed in Theodore’s eyes, and the arrogance and disdain he had shown earlier had completely disappeared.

The sudden change in his demeanor left Tian Shu and the others stunned.

Can this really happen?!

What’s this amazing feat?!
