Seeing that the spell attack was quite effective.

Ji Chen commanded the Sea Pixies to focus their fire and suppress them. Soon, a few Dragon Veins Kobolds were heavily injured and died.

Whether it was the ordinary Kobolds or the Dragon Veins Kobolds, their numbers were slowly decreasing.

“Ding – The battle situation has changed. Our morale has increased to 51 points. We have entered an advantageous state.”

But at this time, Alice’s singing also stopped.

He turned around and saw that her face was a little pale.

Alice’s Song of Temptation and Song of War were essentially spells.

…..

Since it was a spell, it would definitely consume mana. Although there was no direct numerical display of the level of mana, looking at her current appearance, her mana had already been exhausted.

“Sir, I…” Alice’s throat was a little dry.

Upon seeing this, Ji Chen quickly said, “You should rest for now. The tide of this battle has turned in our favor.”

On the battlefield, as the number of dragon-vein Kobolds decreased, the Naga warrior found himself in a nearly two-to-one advantage. Although he couldn’t directly kill them, he managed to restrain them to some extent.

As long as the sea pixies continued to unleash a barrage of water arrows, it was only a matter of time before they would slay the Kobolds.

Ji Chen felt that the battle had already stabilized.

However, the Kobolds, who had lost the suppression of the enchanting song, suddenly became agitated and began howling madly.

He noticed that one of the Kobolds, who was surrounded, raised a blood-red bead.

A sense of caution and foreboding suddenly filled his heart.

Shouting desperately at the Murlocs and pirates, he exclaimed, “Stop that Kobold!”

Upon hearing his command, the Murlocs and pirates charged at the Kobold as if possessed.

But it was already too late.

The blood-red bead trembled slightly, and a ring of bloody light instantly rippled outward, engulfing all the Kobolds in its wake.

“Ding! The Kobold has entered Berserk Mode. All attributes will be increased by 30%. Lasts for 5 minutes before entering Weakened Mode.”

The Kobolds entered a berserk state, their eyes were bloodshot, veins bulging all over their bodies, blood vessels congested, and wisps of white breath escaping their noses.

At this moment, their character panels underwent some changes.

[Kobold]

[Level]: 6

[Tier]: Tier 2, 5 stars (Duration: 5 minutes)

[Dragon-Vein Kobold]

[Level]: 9

[Tier]: Tier 2, 9 stars (Duration: 5 minutes)

Damn it!

Ji Chen cursed inwardly.

Could he still win this battle?

The Kobolds, resembling creatures on steroids, surged forward in madness.

All he could see were blood-red eyes staring back at him.

After entering a berserk state, the ordinary Kobolds’ strength was not much different from the Murlocs and Pirates.

They even relied on their huge numerical advantage to firmly suppress them.

The Dragon Veins Kobolds that had entered a berserk state were even more powerful now.

Like a tireless machine, the giant axe kept hacking, causing great pressure and threat to the Naga warrior.

Under such circumstances, casualties were inevitable.

The four Murlocs were attacked by the Kobolds multiple times. Their scales shattered and they died on the spot.

The three Naga Warriors were hit in the head by the berserk Dragon Veins Kobolds. Even if they had the ability to regenerate, they could not recover from such fatal injuries. Blood splattered on the spot.

The other troops also suffered varying degrees of injuries and were forced to retreat.

After 5 minutes, the Kobold ended its Berserk.

Ten Murlocs and eight Naga warriors had fallen to the ground.

Ji Chen’s eyes were burning with anger as he watched this scene.

These were his soldiers!

It was the first time he experienced casualties among his troops, and the losses were significant.

It pained him deeply.

He looked up at the Kobolds now weakened and filled with resolve.

Killing them off just like that would be too easy for them. He wanted to enslave these Kobolds, forcing them to mine in the mines forever!

“Kill all the dragon-vein Kobolds!”

The Naga warrior, who had been suppressed for a full five minutes, held his breath and swung his weapon, slaughtering the remaining dragon-vein Kobolds.

Seeing their mightiest dragon-vein Kobold fall dead.

The other Kobolds quickly lost their will to fight, and their morale dropped by 10 points.

In front of him, there was only a group of trembling Kobolds who had completely gained the upper hand.

“Ding – The battle has ended. The enemy has lost the will to fight. You have received 5800 experience points. You have leveled up (6->7)…”

Ignoring the terrified Kobolds, Ji Chen had the Murlocs pick up the blood-red orbs that had fallen to the ground.

This bead could actually make the Kobolds enter a berserk state. It must be a treasure.

[Berserk Blood Bead]

[Level: 2-star treasure (group)]

[Effect: After use, allies within 100 meters will enter a berserk state that lasts for 5 minutes. All attributes will increase by 30%. After 5 minutes, they will enter a weakened state that lasts for 30 minutes.]

[Cooldown Time: 3 hours]

This bloodthirsty bead called the “Rampage Blood Orb” is a group treasure, as the name suggests, it has an effect on the entire group.

On the other hand, the ” Crown of Omniscience” only works on an individual, making it a single-target treasure.

Being able to trigger a five-minute berserk state, perhaps it could be used as a trump card.

Putting away the Rampage Blood Orb, Ji Chen glared coldly at the Kobolds.

“Where did you obtain this bead from?”

The Kobolds looked at each other, and due to fear, quickly spoke up.

“We found it in the lair of that great being on the mountaintop.”

It was that colossal dragon again.

A lair?

So, there was an abandoned dragon’s lair on the mountaintop?

That was quite a pleasant surprise.

Since these Kobolds were able to find such a treasure there, perhaps there were other things inside the dragon’s lair.

He should find an opportunity to explore it as well.

Ji Chen’s mind sparked with curiosity as he added exploring the dragon’s lair to his agenda.

Next, he had to deal with this group of Kobolds.

As he had considered before, simply killing them would be a waste. With such a large number of Kobolds, they were valuable living labor, enough to fill all the resource points.

He could use them at will without any regard for human rights issues.

…..

After this battle, which had terrified the Kobold tribe to the core, the threat had basically been eliminated.

Other than some areas that had yet to be explored, the entire main island was basically under his control.

After obtaining the allegiance of the native tribes, the entire main island will be under his absolute rule.

He temporarily locked these Kobolds in a few caves and guarded them strictly.

Next, it was time to collect the spoils of war.

These Kobolds had lived on the island for countless years and were very wealthy.

In this underground cave, even they themselves didn’t know how many things were hidden.

One by one, the abandoned and idle caves were explored and cleared out.

A large quantity of resources were continuously transported to their front, bringing a sense of joy to Ji Chen, despite the loss of significant forces.

The work of tallying the resources proceeded fervently.

He led a small group of soldiers and ventured towards the deepest part of the caves.

That place was the core of the entire underground kingdom.

As he walked out of the connecting passage, he saw some eggs placed in a pile of straw. These eggs could hatch into Kobold hatchlings.

Kobolds were oviparous creatures, and their breeding capacity was incredibly strong. They could lay 10 to 20 eggs in a year, with a high survival rate for the hatchlings.

With sufficient food, they also grew at a terrifyingly fast rate.

This helped explain why native tribes with higher levels of civilization than Kobolds ended up being pushed into a corner of the island.

The speed at which they killed couldn’t even match the speed at which they reproduced.

As Ji Chen looked at those Kobold eggs, a twisted and wicked expression appeared on his face.

He contemplated the possibility of taming these young Kobolds, nurturing them from their youth to maturity, and ultimately cultivating a team of Kobolds that would be unwaveringly loyal to him.

With their continuous reproduction and the strengthening of their race, he would have an inexhaustible supply of Kobolds at his disposal.

The idea seemed promising, albeit with an unsettling resemblance to capitalist ideals.

Yet, he couldn’t ignore the cruel reality of this world.

If he failed to defeat the Kobolds, his people would likely fall into slavery under their rule.

Only by becoming stronger could he secure a perpetual victory..
