Chapter 818: 393: The Rock Queen Marries Suo Lun?

"Aunt, Yan Mo is dead," Suo Lun said.

At those words, Queen Yan Chuo atop the Griffin Beast merely trembled slightly, her gaze devoid of much sorrow.

After all, she had once lost her memory.

To Queen Yan Chuo, Yan Mo was like a child she had never seen since birth, with whom she shared a natural bond of blood. However, the familial affection built over time had been completely forgotten.

All the emotions of Queen Yan Chuo were nearly reconstructed after her amnesia.

Thus, at this moment in her heart, Yan Xue’er was family, Suo Lun was family, Suo Ningbing was family, and Qin Qin was family.

Yan Mo, perhaps, was just a son she had barely seen, and the sole encounter had been an unhappy one.

Nevertheless, Yan Mo was her own son after all. Hearing of his death, Queen Yan Chuo still felt as if something was choking her heart.

After a long time, Queen Yan Chuo said softly, "Suo Lun, you need not apologize to me. It was Yan Mo who abandoned us first; it was he who gave up on our familial ties first."

Her words were true—Yan Mo had always wronged Suo Lun, continually oppressing him.

Even in this recent great battle, Suo Lun was merely defending himself.

Then, Queen Yan Chuo continued to fly forward and landed on Thunder Archipelago.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen." All the Yan Tribe and Rock Pirates knelt neatly.

Looking at the Rock Tribe members kneeling all around, Queen Yan Chuo couldn’t help but sigh. Once, there were over a hundred thousand members; now, only about half remained.

Glancing back at Suo Lun, the peerlessly beautiful Queen Yanchuo gracefully ascended toward the Summit Rock Palace.

As she climbed the steps, her enchantingly curvaceous body seemed to undulate like rolling hills, captivating countless onlookers.

...

"Please, Queen, reassume your position!"

"Please, Queen, reassume your position!"

The Island Masters of the Rock Tribe were almost all dead, leaving only these Rock Thief Warrior leaders to represent the Rock Tribe.

Hundreds of Rock Thief Warrior leaders knelt down, pleading for Queen Yan Chuo to reassume her position.

Sitting on the throne, Queen Yan Chuo said, "This time, I am here representing Lord Suo Lun to offer you a chance to surrender!"

At these words, the expressions of the Rock Thief Warrior leaders drastically changed; they did not expect Queen Yan Chuo to speak so bluntly.

Immediately, a Rock Thief Warrior leader said, "Your Majesty, our Rock Pirates are invincible across the world. Why must you bow down to others?"

Queen Yan Chuo answered calmly, "How did our Rock Tribe come to be?"

Silence fell across the gathering. The history of the Rock Tribe was too long and no longer clear.

Queen Yan Chuo said, "It was the existence of Rock Island and the Sea God, and the ceaseless fresh water that gave rise to our Rock Tribe. Initially, ’Rock Tribe’ was merely a term for a group of ordinary pirates who discovered Rock Island and settled there. Due to two traditions, our Yan Tribe became powerful and unbeaten at sea."

Two traditions: firstly, the Rock Pirates thrived on plundering; secondly, Rock women went ashore to select the fittest and strongest human men to procreate, bearing the most robust and outstanding children.

Thanks to these traditions, the Rock Pirates dominated the seas for over a millennium.

Queen Yan Chuo continued, "With Rock Island and the Sea God, the Rock Tribe existed. Now that our Sea God is dead and our Rock Island has collapsed, there is no Rock Tribe anymore; we are the last generation of the Rock Tribe."

Her words, echoing cold and cruel, represented an undeniable truth.

Instantly, tears streamed down the faces of all present Rock Tribe members.

Suddenly, a Rock Thief Warrior defiantly said, "As long as we possess mighty combat power and supreme honor, we remain the Rock Tribe."

Queen Yan Chuo coldly responded, "However, even in naval warfare, the Rock Pirates are already outdated!"

Her statement landed like ice, stabbing deep into the hearts of those present.

No one spoke against her words.

Indeed, even as a navy, the Rock Pirates were outdated. Otherwise, how could Suo Lun’s 25,000 navy forces rout a vast army of 100,000, resulting in a near shameful defeat?

Queen Yan Chuo said, "This time, Suo Lun outwardly had 25,000 navy troops, but the real modern navy consisted only of three large Cannon Warships. What if in the future there are ten, fifteen, or even twenty?"

Many Rock Pirates thought of Suo Lun’s three large Cannon Warships, colossal as small mountains, each ship fitted with dozens of cannons. Even if they attempted to board and fight hand to hand, they couldn’t even climb aboard.

If the future brought ten, twenty ships firing simultaneously five or six hundred cannons...

Just imagining that scenario sent chills down the spines of the Rock Pirates present.

Queen Yan Chuo stated, "With the new class of warships that Suo Lun is about to build being larger and having more cannons, will there be any room left for you at sea? You are already outdated, already eliminated."

Once more, the assembled Rock Pirates were engulfed in even deeper grief and pain.

"Lord Suo Lun has Cannon Warships, can’t we have them too?" a Rock Thief Warrior leader asked.

Queen Yan Chuo responded, "In this world, only one person can possess Cannon Warships, and that is Suo Lun. Plus, once Rock Pirates begin operating cannons, are they still Rock Pirates? How many of you can read? Do you understand geometry, know ballistics?"

The place fell deathly silent.

"Your Majesty, then... do we have no future, are we to be extinguished?" an elderly Rock Thief Warrior asked with a quivering voice.
