Søren did not wait for Seagull's reply. Instead, he ordered, "Fire!"
"Boom boom boom …"
Instantly, the hundred-odd cannons on Søren's fleet fired again.
Like a rainstorm, the cannons rained down on Seagull's fleet once again.
"Ah … Ah …" Another world-shaking wretched howl rang out. Blood sprayed everywhere, and it was unknown just how many lives were lost.
Seagull was on the verge of breaking down. This was the first time he had encountered such a negotiation method. There was no room for refusal, and he spoke directly with the cannons.
You really live up to the saying, 'The truth is within the range of the cannons'.
"I agree, I agree …" Seagull quickly shouted, "Your Excellency Søren, I agree to everything! I'm willing to give you my children as hostages. I'm willing to give you my wife. "
…
Just like that, Seagull agreed to Søren's extremely harsh conditions in order to prevent the destruction of his main fleet.
He personally sent his son, Hai Wuyan, and daughter, Henar, to Søren's flagship as hostages.
Just a few hours ago, he was still acting high and mighty, swearing that he would respond to Zhi Li's summons and eliminate Søren on behalf of the heavens.
Søren tried his best to persuade him, but to no avail.
Now, he was crestfallen, groveling to Søren and offering his son and daughter.
Not only that, he was going to send his wife as well.
If he knew this would happen, why did he do it in the first place? However, this was how most people in this world were. They could only remember the beatings and not the consequences.
When you sincerely persuaded him, he would only think that you were weak and easy to bully. However, if you beat him up, he would be more obedient than anyone else.
Seeing the hunchbacked Seagull, Søren asked, "Do you have any ideas on how to eliminate the Rock Demons?"
Seagull bowed and said, "I'll listen to Your Excellency Søren's instructions."
Søren said, "This is your matter. How can I meddle in your affairs?"
Seagull said, "Because of my stupidity, I angered His Excellency Søren. As a result, my main fleet is only left with thirty thousand people. However, his fleet is too fast, and it's impossible to catch up to him. "
At this point, Seagull's heart was once again filled with regret.
Just a few hours ago, he had fifty thousand fleets in his hands, which happened to block the Rock Demon's way. With three times the strength of the Rock Demon, coupled with the Rock Demon's low morale after its defeat, it was completely possible to annihilate him.
Once he killed Søren, then the grudge between him and Søren would be written off. The two of them would work together more than they had differences. Since then, Seagull has become the strongest pirate force on the sea.
Yes, the word 'pirate' was used here.
After destroying the Rock Demon, the Søren Navy undoubtedly became the number one overlord of the East China Sea. However, like the Yan Empire and the Dongli Kingdom, he only focused on sea power and maintaining his own maritime trade. He was not interested in plundering and maritime protection fees. In this way, this big piece of fat meat was cheap, and naturally, it was Seagull who got it.
Such a good situation, but in the end, Seagull ruined it.
He was really blinded by lard. Not only did he let go of the precious opportunity to annihilate the Rock Demon, but he was also instigated by the Rock Demon to attack Søren. As a result, his backbone was broken. More than ten thousand of his fifty thousand main forces were lost, and he lost all his wife and children to have a chance of survival.
It was too late for regrets!
At this time, Seagull even had a very strange feeling.
Previously, because Søren killed his daughter, kicked his wife, and exposed his ugly heart in front of everyone, he slapped his face crazily. Therefore, he hated Søren to the bone.
Now, after the Seagull Fleet suffered a fatal blow from Søren, the hatred in his heart for Søren was reduced a lot.
Instead, all the hatred in his heart was transferred to the Rock Demon. He could not wait to peel his skin, pull out his tendons, and dismember his body into thousands of pieces.
"If he chased all the way to the Thunder Islands, my more than thirty thousand navy may not be his opponent." Seagull said: "Although there are no strong cities on the Thunder Islands, the Rock Demon has built a lot of castles, which are very dangerous."
Søren narrowed his eyes and did not answer.
He knew what Seagull wanted. He wanted the Søren Fleet to go to the Thunder Islands and use the cannons to bombard the Rock Demon's castle.
Of course, if it was the modern cannons of the earth, there is no doubt that it would work. These cannons are not only accurate, but also super far, at least more than ten miles.
But to use the cannons in Søren's hands to attack the castle, it is really a joke.
His cannons are good for attacking people and ships, but to use it to attack the castle, it will have to wait until the explosive is fully mature, and the gunpowder has evolved into high explosives. Otherwise, the power of the solid projectiles to attack the city walls is not as good as a giant catapult.
Moreover, once Søren's three large warships enter the Thunder Islands, it is no different from courting death.
That place is surrounded by islands, the sea conditions are complex, the Rock Demon has the geographical advantage, Søren's large warships enter that narrow and cramped sea, even turning around is difficult, there is even the danger of being stranded.
Therefore, as long as the Rock Demon enters the Thunder Islands, Søren really can't do anything to him.
The only effective tactic is to blockade for a long time, after all, the Thunder Islands do not produce food, everything depends on buying and looting.
As long as the blockade is long enough, the Rock Demons can starve to death. And if they don't want to starve to death, the Rock Demon fleet must leave the protection of the Thunder Islands to loot.
Seagull said: "Therefore, the most suitable tactic now, is for me and Lord Søren's fleet to besiege the Thunder Islands."
Søren said: "How much food does the Rock Demon have in the Thunder Islands?"
Hai Gang said, "It's not little, but it shouldn't be much either. The Rock Demon is invincible in the sea, they will never lack food, if they need it, they will rob it, or blackmail the surrounding forces, even a fixed caravan will attack the Thunder Islands every month for food. Moreover, the islands are humid, it is not suitable to store food. "
Søren said: "How much food does he have?"
Seagull said: "Originally there were about a hundred thousand Rock Demons, he usually has enough food for more than a month. In this battle, the Rock Demon was defeated, the old and weak Rock Demons and the Rock Demons only have about fifty thousand people left. Therefore, the food in storage is about two months. "
Søren said: "I don't have time to wait for him for two months."
Seagull said: "There's no need to wait for two months. This time, the Rock Demon was not only defeated, but also abandoned his comrades, losing all prestige and loyalty. Once we besiege the Thunder Islands, with no way out, the internal conflicts among the Rock Race will definitely intensify. At that time, we will divide the Rock Race internally, perhaps in less than half a month, the Rock Demon will die for sure! "
Søren stared at Seagull.
Seagull felt uneasy being stared at, he said: "This is only my humble opinion, I still have to listen to your orders."
Søren sighed, Seagull's plan was undoubtedly the best plan, not radical, not risky, and very effective.
The current Seagull seemed so wise and wise. Then why was Seagull so muddle-headed and stupid just now?
Humans were really strange creatures. Once they were blinded by benefits, or their minds were affected by emotions, they would do anything stupid.
"Alright, we'll do as you say," Søren said.
"Yes!" Seagull said.
…
Then, Seagull led the battered fleet north at full speed, chasing after the Rock Demon.
He had originally led the fifty thousand main fleet south, swearing to destroy Søren and seize the greatest benefits.
In the end, in just a little more than two hours of close combat, they suffered heavy losses. Nearly half of the four hundred warships were damaged. Fifty thousand navy, only thirty-six thousand remained.
At this time, they were being driven by Søren's fleet to kill the Rock Demon.
Søren's fleet did not advance side by side with Seagull's fleet, but a few hundred meters behind, ensuring that Seagull's fleet would be within the range of their cannons at any time. When the other party was in a passive state, they did not dare to make any rash moves.
Seagull, who returned to his flagship, immediately entered the cabin and lay on the bed, looking ten years older.
He instinctively wanted to call for his children, but he remembered that they had been sent to Søren as hostages.
Although his son, Hai Wuyan, was not smart enough, he was filial and considerate.
He, Seagull, had a great reputation, but now, not only had his children been taken as hostages, but he also had to send his wife to warm his bed. Even the life and death of the entire fleet was completely in the hands of Søren.
With a long sigh, Seagull's tears flowed down.
Ever since he took charge of Immortal Abode Island, he, Seagull, had never suffered such a huge setback and humiliation.
At this time, he thought of what Søren had said: Seagull, you're too smart for your own good. If you hadn't mentioned any conditions during the negotiation of the alliance, Søren would have given you more and even given you a promise.
At that time, Seagull had scoffed at this sentence.
But now, he deeply felt the weight of this sentence.
If Seagull had been far-sighted and helped Søren to form an alliance.
But now, the Hai family had become the number one leader of the East Ocean, and they were on equal footing with Søren. Whether it was the Magic Mirror's interests or the Rubble Salt Field's interests, they could all be involved, and the affairs of the Sea Union could also be decided.
Furthermore, in the future, when Søren supported Princess Jung Yeon to ascend to the throne and he became the Prince Regent of the Raging Wave Kingdom, the status of the Immortal Abode Island's Hai family could still rise, and they would gain countless benefits.
What a pity!
Now, he, Seagull, was still teaming up with Søren to eliminate the Rock Demon, but they were no longer in an alliance. Instead, he was being whipped by Søren. He, Seagull, did not want to be an ally, but insisted on being a whipped lackey.
It was too late for regrets, too late for regrets!
Next, Seagull thought of another important matter.
After Søren defeated the Rock Demon, what would happen to his battle with Zhi Li?
Now that the world was besieging Søren, 800,000 troops were gathering, and they would soon attack Tianshui City.
Could Søren survive this?
He didn't know, Seagull really didn't know. If it was before, Seagull felt that Søren would definitely die.
But now, he thought of the moment Søren's hundreds of cannons fired, countless projectiles smashed out like a rainstorm, and the power exceeded any bow and arrow.
Once these cannons were moved to the city wall, when Zhi Li's hundreds of thousands of troops began to attack the city, they would enter within 200 to 300 meters of the city wall.
Then, boom, boom, boom …
When Søren's hundreds of cannons fired, hundreds of thousands of projectiles sprayed out, what would the consequences be?
It must be known that when attacking a city, the soldiers' charge was much denser than the warships'.
That scene would definitely be like hell. It was not a war at all, but a massacre.
Not only that, after Søren defeated the Rock Demon, he had already dominated the entire East Sea and was invincible on the sea. Even if he was defeated on land, he still had a way out on the sea. At this moment, Zhi Li no longer had a navy.
Therefore, Søren was almost in an invincible position, so what choice should Seagull make?
Then, he thought of Gui Xingfu!
This person's humiliation of Søren was far more than Seagull's. Both of them could be said to have a deep hatred and irreconcilable hatred.
At this time, Gui Xingfu has become the head of the Southeast Province's civil officials, although he didn't have any official position, only with the identity of Søren's envoy, but he was indeed in charge of the Southeast Province's civil affairs.
If Gui Xingfu can turn over a new leaf, then why can't he, Seagull?
But, is he willing to submit to Søren like this?
But, what can he do even if he is unwilling? At this time, his life and death are completely in the hands of others.
Taking a deep breath, Seagull suddenly sat up and came to the table to write a secret letter.
The beginning was: Die 'er, my daughter, long time no see, father misses her very much …
This letter was over a thousand words long. After it was written, it was first sent to Pirate Harbor via a Harrier. Then, a new Harrier was sent from Pirate Harbor to Immortal Abode City. Finally, a secret envoy was sent to deliver the letter to Hai Die 'er of the Thunder Islands.
Hai Die'er, the Rock Demon's wife, was a woman who had been looked down upon since she was a child. She was resentful and ambitious.
…
A day and a half, which was 18 hours later!
At this time, the Rock Demon's surviving fleet had escaped more than 1,600 miles away, and was more than 3,000 miles away from the Thunder Islands.
The Rock Bandits on the warship missed their home, their wives and children like never before.
Previously, when the Rock Bandits went out to plunder, they never missed home. Because they fought crazily on the sea, robbed crazily, and raped crazily. Their days were as happy as heaven, so why would they miss home?
At this time, the invincible Rock Bandits were defeated and fled like stray dogs, so they began to miss their home and wanted to return to a familiar place to lick the wounds in their hearts and bodies.
Along the way, the Rock Demon fleet had the intention to plunder and snatch some food back to the Thunder Islands.
However, he knew that Søren's fleet or Seagull's fleet was probably about 200 miles behind him. He had to lead the fleet back to the Thunder Islands as quickly as possible to be safe.
…
New Rock King's Palace in the Thunder Islands.
The Rock Demon's wife, Hai Die'er, held a letter in her hand. This was a letter written by her father, Seagull, and it was sent by her biological mother.
In the letter, Seagull said that the Rock Demons had been defeated and almost completely annihilated. They only led more than 10,000 fleets to escape back to the Thunder Islands, and their prestige was completely lost.
Not only that, Søren and the Hai Family's fleet had already formed an alliance and were frantically chasing the remaining Rock Demon fleet. Even if the Rock Demons escaped back to the Thunder Islands, they would still face the blockade and siege of Søren and the Hai Family's allied forces.
Once they faced a food shortage crisis, coupled with the Rock Demons' defeat and loss of popular support, the Rock Race would definitely be in chaos. At that time, the Rock Demons would definitely die.
As the Rock Demon's wife, Hai Die'er's future would definitely be very miserable.
Therefore, Seagull hoped that Hai Die'er could redeem herself by killing the Rock Demons and ending the war for Søren earlier.
In this way, not only would Hai Die'er be innocent, but she would also be meritorious.
Seagull even proposed that the Hai Family wanted to have another marriage with Søren, but there were no beautiful and pure women in the family. At that time, Hai Die'er would be remarried to Søren as a concubine.
Although she would be a concubine, Søren would be the future Prince Regent of the Raging Wave Kingdom, supreme and unparalleled. Hai Die'er would enjoy endless glory, splendor and wealth. At that time, even if the official mother, Madam White Leaf, saw her, she would still have to respectfully address her as Princess.
Not only that, once she successfully remarried to Søren, she would directly obtain a quarter of the Hai Family's inheritance!
All these good things only required Hai Die'er to do one thing, and that was to murder her husband, the Rock Demon!
After reading this secret letter over and over again, Hai Die'er closed her beautiful eyes and pondered for a long time.
The Rock Demon's martial arts were extremely high, and it would be very difficult to kill him. However, if it was the woman he loved and trusted the most, then perhaps it would be a piece of cake!
