The camp was brightly lit, with thousands of elves and soldiers from the principality gathered in the central square.

Even some lightly wounded soldiers stood there, some with bandages and crutches.

All eyes were on them, or rather, on Ji Chen.

Just as Yasen was about to get angry, an elven officer ran over and whispered a few words in his ear.

Yasen’s face showed some surprise, but he still nodded and looked over.

Ji Chen seemed to sense something and walked a few steps forward, coming in front of the many soldiers.

Silently, the soldiers of the Maple Principality made a gesture of respect, clenching their right fists and thumping them against their left chests, bending their waists to Ji Chen.

Likewise, the elves bowed their heads in a solemn military salute to Ji Chen, their eyes filled with gratitude.

At this moment, they finally recognized Ji Chen.

If it weren’t for Ji Chen’s intervention, most of them would probably have been trapped inside, swallowed by those pitch-black, lightless caves.

They also knew that Ji Chen not only saw through the Deceiver’s plan to escape in secret but also captured one of the silver-masked Deceivers, preventing this gang of troublemakers from escaping.

So they spontaneously gathered to express their gratitude to Ji Chen.

Brave warriors could fearlessly face life and death on the battlefield, but straightforward words of affection are probably hard to come by. They could only express their feelings in this solemn manner.

On the other hand, players who were involved in logistics work within the army couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

In their eyes, the usually proud elves and soldiers of the principality were actually bowing their heads to a human?

And it wasn’t just one or two of them.

Under the bright moonlight and amidst the blazing fires, over a thousand elves and more than seven thousand principality soldiers lowered their heads, creating a sea of bowed heads.

It was a truly breathtaking sight.

This moment would be etched in their memories forever.

Seeing this, Ji Chen’s emotions stirred like ripples, but he didn’t say anything, just nodded slowly.

As if it were a signal, the elves and soldiers of the principality raised their heads one after another. Yasen took the opportunity to say, “Besides those on alert and patrol duty, everyone else can go back and rest.”

Then, he smiled at Ji Chen and said, “Your Excellency, you’ve had a tiring day. Please rest in your tent for a while; dinner will be delivered soon.”

Ji Chen didn’t say anything, just nodded, and followed an elven officer to the central part of the camp, where a large tent was set up.

“Your Excellency Ji Chen, this is your tent. If you need anything, feel free to order me.”

The elven officer’s demeanor was extremely respectful, speaking with the attitude of someone addressing a superior.

Ji Chen recognized him; this elven officer seemed to be one of those he had rescued from the cave. He smiled and nodded in response.

After the elven officer left, he began to examine the tent.

As an elf, even in a temporary tent, the decoration was still very luxurious and elegant. Tables, chairs, cabinets, flower-patterned carpets – all of it showcased the elves’ refined aesthetic sense.

There was even a faint floral fragrance in the air.

In two words: upper-class!

A few minutes later, the elven officer pushed a food cart in and placed exquisite dishes on the table, a feast for the senses.

It was rumored that when the elven army went on a campaign, they would bring along a whole team of chefs skilled in various cuisines for the nobility and officers to enjoy during wartime.

Now it seemed to be true.

After enjoying dinner, he quickly went to sleep.

The next morning.

Refreshed, Ji Chen once again transformed into a miner and continued digging, clearing one blocked storage room after another.

The Deceiver’s resources were incredibly abundant. Even if it was just the base of a principality, it stored a vast amount of supplies, piled up like mountains, enough to support the consumption of a medium-sized battle.

According to the information left behind, the Deceivers in Maple City had indeed been planning to launch an attack on the city, in collaboration with the mountain trolls. For this purpose, they had secretly transported a considerable amount of resources and equipment from other regions, hoping to gain the benefits they desired.

But no one could have anticipated that everything would be disrupted by Ji Chen.

The silver-masked Deceiver Duanbi had originally thought Ji Chen was just a lucky Lord of Glory, favored by the gods. However, it turned out that he was a big boss deeply hidden in the shadows.

Not only did the plan to besiege Ji Chen fail, but Ji Chen also managed to get Luo Yang to his side, obtaining a wealth of information. This directly led to the exposure and downfall of the gathering place in the city and this hidden base. In the end, they even captured him alive.

If they had another chance, they would undoubtedly go all out to besiege Ji Chen, rather than relying on the unreliable mountain trolls.

This ultimately led to the loss of both their people and the stored supplies in this base.

Looking at the towering pile of supplies in the storage room, Ji Chen felt a surge of motivation. According to the agreement with Yasen, forty percent of these supplies were his spoils of war, not to mention the batch of rare resources.

Perhaps this was the biggest harvest the Crown of the Ocean had obtained from the outside world.

This wave of discoveries was simply a huge windfall!

Soon, there was only one unopened passage left, which led to the deepest part of this base.

The deeper the place, the better the things stored there.

The Deceivers were well aware of this, so they took special care of this passage. It had been badly damaged by the explosions, making it much more challenging to excavate and clear.

However, under the relentless power of the water drill, they gradually cleared a path.

When the last massive rock was drilled open, a spacious underground hall appeared before them.

The hall was as large as several soccer fields, and faint runic patterns could be seen on the surrounding walls, preserving them despite the explosions.

At the top of the hall, a dazzling crystal sphere hung from the circular dome, emitting a scorching light that made the place as bright as day.

Upon closer inspection, on the left side of the hall, there were neatly stacked wooden crates containing siege equipment, a large number of potions, fine weapons, and armor. These items alone were enough to arm tens of thousands of soldiers.

If these things had fallen into the hands of the mountain trolls, it would have been a severe blow to the Maple Principality.

On the right side, there were metal crates filled with precious resources like crystals. It seemed that the batch of rare resources Yasen had mentioned was here.

On the north side, there was a closed metal gate, pitch black and leading to an unknown place.

In the middle of the hall, about four to five hundred war golems were roaming. Upon hearing the commotion, they picked up their weapons and rushed toward Ji Chen.

Ji Chen didn’t need to handle this personally. With a wave of Yasen’s hand, the elven warriors behind him swarmed forward and engaged the golems in battle.

After about ten minutes, all the war golems were reduced to fragments. The elves, under Yasen’s command, began to transport the supplies from here, which would be divided among them once everything was outside.

Ji Chen walked over to the closed metal gate on the north side, looked through the gap, and saw complete darkness on the other side.

A chilling coldness emanated from within.

Could this be some kind of cold storage?

He hesitated for a moment.

After searching the surroundings and finding nothing resembling a switch, he summoned the water drill again and started drilling holes in the gate.

The harsh sound of the drill grinding against metal drew everyone’s attention.

Yasen approached with curiosity and asked, “Lord Ji Chen, is there something inside the gate?”

“At the moment, 1 don’t know. We’ll only find out once we open it.”

The metal gate seemed to be made of some rare material, incredibly sturdy. If it weren’t for his water drill’s ability to repair itself with water, it would have likely been damaged a long time ago.

Even so, it took a full three hours to drill a hole in the gate large enough for a single person to pass through.

However, as they witnessed this scene, everyone’s curiosity grew stronger.contemporary romance

What could be stored behind such a sturdy gate?

Before entering, Ji Chen casually opened the omniscience map to check for any war golems inside, to prevent any surprise attacks.

But on the map, there was only a solitary red dot..
