"Aunty, the Rock Demon is dead," Søren said.
Upon hearing this, Yan Chao 'er, who was on the griffin, only trembled slightly. There was not much sorrow in her eyes.
After all, she had lost her memory before.
To Yan Chao 'er, the Rock Demon was like a child she had never seen since birth. She had a natural kinship with him. As for the long-established bond between mother and son, she had completely forgotten about it.
All of Yan Chao 'er's emotions were reestablished after losing her memory.
Hence, in her heart, Yan Xue 'er was family. Søren was family. Suo Ningbing was family. Qinqin was family too.
Perhaps the Rock Demon was just a son she had never seen before. The only time she had seen him was when she was unhappy.
However, the Rock Demon was still her biological son. Upon hearing of his death, Yan Chao 'er felt as though something was stuck in her heart.
After a long while, Yan Chao 'er said gently, "Søren, you don't have to feel sorry for me. The Rock Demon gave up on us first. He gave up on kinship first. "
She was right. The Rock Demon had always been the one who had wronged Søren. He had bullied Søren time and time again.
Even in this battle, Søren was only passively fighting back.
Then, Yan Chao 'er continued to fly forward and landed on the Thunder Islands.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." All the Rock Men and Rock Bandits knelt down in unison.
Yan Chao 'er looked at the kneeling Rock Men and could not help but sigh. There used to be hundreds of thousands of Rock Men, but only about half of them were left.
Turning back to look at Søren, the beautiful Queen Yan Chao 'er slowly walked up to the Rock Palace at the top of the mountain.
As she walked on the stairs, her alluring curves that were filled with magic were even more alluring, like the undulating of mountains and rivers, enchanting everyone.
…
"Queen, please return to your position!"
"Queen, please return to your position!"
Most of the Rock Men's island masters and cave masters were dead. The only ones left who could represent the Rock Men were the leaders of the Rock Bandits.
Hundreds of Rock Bandits knelt down and asked Yan Chao 'er to return to her position.
Yan Chao 'er sat on the throne and said, "I'm here on behalf of His Excellency Søren to ask you to surrender!"
Hearing this, the Rock Bandit leader's expression changed drastically. He didn't expect Queen Yan Chao 'er to be so direct.
Immediately, a leader of the Rock Bandits said, "Your Majesty, we, the Rock Bandits, are invincible. Why do you have to bow down to others?"
Yan Chao 'er asked indifferently, "How did we Rockfolk come to be?"
The crowd fell silent. The history of the Rockmen was too long, and it was hard to explain.
Yan Chao 'er said, "It is because of the Rock Island, the Sea God, and the endless supply of fresh water that we rock people came into being. The so-called Rock Men were just a group of ordinary pirates who discovered the Rock Island and settled down there. Later on, because of these two traditions, our Rock Tribe became powerful and invincible on the sea. "
There were two traditions. The first tradition was that the Rock Bandits lived by plundering. The second option was for the Cliff Lady to go ashore and choose the strongest and most outstanding human male to use as a seed to give birth to the strongest and most outstanding child.
It was because of these two traditions that the Rock Bandits were able to dominate the sea for over a thousand years.
Yan Chao 'er said, "With the Rock Island and the Sea God, the Rock Tribe came into being. Now that our Sea God is dead and our Rock Island has collapsed, there are no more Rock Tribe. We are the last generation of Rock Tribe. "
Yan Chao 'er's words were cold and cruel, but it was the absolute truth.
At that moment, all the Rock Men couldn't help but cry.
One of the Rock Bandits said unwillingly, "As long as we have strong combat power and a sense of honor, we will still be Rock Tribe."
Yan Chao 'er said coldly, "However, even in terms of naval warfare, the Rock Bandits are outdated!"
Her words were even colder, like knives stabbing into the hearts of all the Rock Bandits present.
However, they couldn't refute her words.
That's right, even as a navy, the Rock Bandits were outdated. Otherwise, how could an army of a hundred thousand be utterly defeated by Søren's twenty-five thousand navy?
Yan Chao 'er said, "On the surface, Søren has twenty-five thousand navy. However, his new navy is only three large cannons. What if there are ten, fifteen, or even twenty of them in the future? "
Many of the Rock Bandits present thought of Søren's three large cannons. They were as large as small mountains, and each ship had dozens of cannons. Even if they jumped off the ship to fight, they wouldn't be able to jump on board.
What if there were ten or twenty of them in the future, with five or six hundred cannons firing at the same time?
The Rock Bandits present shuddered at the thought.
Yan Chao 'er said, "And Søren's new warships will be even larger and have more cannons. When that time comes, will you still have a chance to survive on the sea? On the sea, you are already outdated. You have already been eliminated. "
At that moment, the Rock Bandits present were even more aggrieved.
"If Sauron and the others can have cannons, why can't we have ours?" a Rock Bandit leader asked.
Yan Chao 'er said, "In this world, there is only one person who can own cannons. That is Søren. Also, once a Rock Bandit starts operating cannons, will he still be a Rock Bandit? Do you know how to read? Do you know geometry and ballistics? "
The entire place was silent.
"Your Majesty, then … then we will have no future and will die?" an old Rock Bandit warrior said in a trembling voice.
"No, you have a future," Yan Chao 'er said. Yan Chao 'er said, "We, the Rock Tribe, are full of vigor and honor. We are united, fearless of death, and even actively pursue death on the battlefield. On the sea, you can fight one against two, but on land, you can fight one against three. Your future is not on the sea, but on land. You will become the rulers of land armies! In the future, your enemies will tremble in fear at the mention of the Rock Race army. "
These words made the Rock Bandits' blood boil.
Yan Chao 'er said, "As a race on the sea, the Rock Race is gone. But as a race on land, the Rock Race will continue to exist and grow stronger!"
A Rock Bandit leader said, "Then we will kill our way onto land and conquer a large territory for Your Majesty."
Yan Chao 'er said, "But I only want to be loyal to my family."
"What's so good about being loyal to Søren? Why live under someone else's fence? "a Rock Bandit warrior said unhappily.
"No, I am not loyal to Søren, I am loyal to my family," Yan Chao 'er said. "Back then, I jumped into the bottomless abyss to sacrifice myself to the Sea God. In order to save me, Søren returned to the Rock King Palace and was kicked into the abyss by the Rock Demon. After entering the Sea God's stomach, it was Søren who saved my life again. He is my savior, my lord, and my family. You want me to be independent and betray him? Then where's your sense of honor? "
All the Rock Bandit warriors were dejected.
Yan Chao 'er said, "Right now, Søren has ten thousand Rock Bandits under him. He just captured another twenty thousand Rock Bandits. If you surrender, the fifty thousand Rock Bandits will be reunited. Søren will reorganize you into a Rock Bandit Army. You will wear the lightest and best armor and wield the best machetes. He will lead you to defeat the three strongest armies of the Raging Wave Kingdom and occupy the entire Raging Wave Kingdom. Not only that, when he becomes the Regent, he will also lead you to conquer the vast Southern Barbarian Continent. Kill all the Barbarians there, burn them all, rob them all, rape them all! "
The Rock Bandits' eyes lit up when they heard this.
"Will you hide in the Thunder Islands and rot, or will you follow Søren to expand his territory, burn, kill, rob, and build up your career?" the Rock Queen asked.
These words made the Rock Bandits' blood boil.
The hundreds of Rock Bandit warrior leaders looked at each other and bowed. "Your Majesty, we need to discuss this in private. We will give you an answer in an hour."
"Okay." Yan Chao 'er left the hall and went to the bedroom in the back.
… …
An hour later, the Rock Bandit warrior leaders finished their discussion.
"Your Majesty, we are willing to lead the entire Rock Race to surrender to Sir Søren," a warrior leader said, "but we have a few conditions."
Yan Chao 'er said, "Speak!"
"The first condition." The Rock Bandit warrior leader said, "The Rock Race must remain intact. We want an independent island as our territory. Only Rock Men will live there. No one else is allowed to enter. Also, the Rock Race must maintain a distance from the mainland and cannot marry. "
Yan Chao 'er said, "Okay."
"The second condition." The Rock Bandit warrior leader said, "We Rock Race warriors will continue to fight and plunder for a living. We will not engage in production."
Yan Chao 'er said, "Okay."
Because only in this way could the Rock Race maintain their unparalleled combat strength. The ancient Greek city of Sparta was somewhat similar to a professional fighting race. However, they were not as pure as the Rock Race.
"The third condition." The Rock Bandit warrior leader said, "Our Rock Ladies will still have to breed like the strongest human men!"
Yan Chao 'er frowned, then nodded. "Okay. What other conditions?"
"The fourth condition." The Rock Bandit warrior leader said, "The highest commander of the Rock Bandit army must be Her Majesty. All the generals of the Rock Bandit army of fifty thousand must also be Rock Bandit warriors. We will not directly swear loyalty to Søren. We are loyal to you, and you are loyal to Sir Søren. But don't worry, we swear on our blood and honor that we will fight for Søren as long as you give the order. "
Yan Chao 'er said, "I have no right to agree to this condition, but I can tell Sir Søren."
"The fifth one, and also the last one." The Rock Bandit warrior leader said, "Her Majesty must marry Sir Søren and give birth to a strong and outstanding child to become the next Rock King. Without a new Rock King, we cannot see any hope or direction for the future. Without marriage, we dare not surrender and swear loyalty! "
Yan Chao 'er's delicate body trembled when she heard this.
… …
At dawn the next day, Yan Chao 'er finished negotiating with the Rock Bandits.
As the sun rose, the Rock Queen leisurely left the Rock King Palace and rode her griffin back to Søren's flagship.
At this time, Søren had been waiting in the cabin for a long time.
Seeing the Rock Queen return, Søren immediately brewed a glass of sweet wine and handed it to Yan Chao 'er.
Yan Chao 'er drank it and smiled gently at Søren. "Søren, the Rock Bandits agree to surrender and are willing to swear loyalty to you."
Søren was overjoyed.
Just as Yan Chao 'er said, the Rock Bandits were outdated on the sea, but on land, they would truly shine.
The Rock Bandits did not fear death and even actively chased after it. Moreover, each of them was strong, cruel, and skilled in martial arts. They were a true fighting race.
Once all fifty thousand Rock Bandits were organized into a land army, Søren was sure that even against a hundred thousand strong army, the fifty thousand Rock Bandits would be able to kill the enemy.
Once he gained the loyalty of the entire Rock Race, Søren would truly have a trump card army on hand. Unlike now, most of Søren's army came from mercenaries. Most of them recognized money, not people, and did not have much of a sense of honor.
The Rock Race, on the other hand, valued honor more than life, to the point of pedantry.
Even in the face of total annihilation, they were not willing to flee.
A few nights ago, the Black Reef Island Lord led his people to impeach the Rock Demons. Originally, the ten or so Island Lords had a chance of winning, but these Rock Pirate Island Lords fought the Rock Demons one by one for the sake of honor. In the end, they were all killed by the Rock Demons.
This was an army with fighting ability, discipline, honor, and no fear of death. It was the best army in the world.
In modern terms, this was an army with a soul. It was the army that Søren truly dreamed of.
"But they have five conditions," Yan Chao 'er said. "The first condition is that they must occupy an island in the ocean as their territory, far away from the mainland and cut off from the rest of the world."
"That's fine," Søren said.
"The second condition is that the Rock Race must continue to fight and plunder for a living. They will not engage in production," Yan Chao 'er said.
"That's fine," Søren said. "That's what I thought as well."
"The third condition is that the Rock Lady must go ashore and choose the strongest male to use as a seed to give birth to the strongest offspring," Yan Chao 'er said.
Søren frowned. This tradition was a bit inhumane, but it was proposed by the Rock Pirates themselves. They didn't care about being cuckolded, so it was hard for Søren to overstep his bounds.
The Hai Clan was also a Rock Race, but they had completely abandoned this tradition. Therefore, their fighting ability was far behind the Rock Race.
"That's fine," Søren said.
"The fourth condition," Yan Chao 'er said. "After forming the Rock Bandit Army, they want me to be the highest commander of the Rock Bandit Army. Moreover, all the generals of the Rock Bandit Army must be Rock Bandit Warriors."
"That's fine," Søren said straightforwardly.
In fact, the only people Søren could completely trust now were the Suo Clan's warriors. The rest of the middle and high ranking generals were all loyal to Søren because of his money and treatment. Their true loyalty might not be comparable to that of the Rock Bandit Warriors.
"The fifth and final condition …" Yan Chao 'er suddenly found it difficult to speak.
Seeing his aunt's expression, Søren's heart trembled. It … it couldn't be that condition, could it?
Yan Chao 'er said, "They want you and me to marry and give birth to the next generation of Rock Race's heir. Only then will they dare to pledge their loyalty. "
Søren's expression changed drastically when he heard this.
Yan Chao 'er said, "The Rock Bandits are a very special race. They definitely need a Rock King. Without a leader, they will lose their goal and direction. Moreover, this Rock King must be a Rock Race member. They won't be directly loyal to you. They will only be loyal to the Rock King, and then have the Rock King serve you. "
This kind of indirect loyalty could ensure the Rock Race's integrity and independence.
"Aunt, that's impossible." Søren said, "Not to mention that you are my father's lover, you also know that my mother bitterly disappointed me. In my heart, I already think of you as my mother. Therefore, a marriage alliance between us is impossible."
Yan Chao 'er said gently, "I know what you are thinking, but I don't have any misgivings. You also know that I lost my memories, after all. I have completely forgotten everything in the past, including your father. All of my emotions were reestablished after I lost my memories. I also think of you as my own child, but if you want me to marry you and give birth to the next generation, I am also willing. "
Søren shook his head resolutely. "No, I would rather not have the Rock Race's loyalty than to do this."
