Chapter 819: 393: The Rock Queen Marries Suo Lun?_2

"No, you have a future," Yan Chuo’er said. "We of the Yan Tribe are full of vigor and a sense of honor. We are united and fearless in the face of death, even pursuing it actively on the battlefield. On the sea, you can take on two foes at once, but on land, you can take on three. Your future is not on the sea, but on the land. You will become the overlords of a land army! In the future, within the Human Kingdom, just the mention of the Rock Tribe Corps will strike terror into your enemies."

This speech once more boiled the blood of the Rock Pirates present.

Yan Chuo’er continued, "The Yan Tribe as a sea-faring nation may have perished, but as a land-faring nation, the Yan Tribe will continue to exist, and grow stronger!"

Suddenly, a Rock Thief Warrior leader said, "Then let us take the land by storm, and conquer vast territories for Her Majesty the Queen."

"But I only wish to serve my family," Yan Chuo’er replied.

"What good does serving Suo Lun bring? Why live under someone else’s thumb?" a Rock Thief Warrior complained unhappily.

"No, I am not serving Suo Lun; I am serving my family," Yan Chuo’er explained. "I leaped into the endless abyss as a sacrifice to the Sea God. To save me, Suo Lun returned to the Yan King’s Palace, only to be kicked into an abyss by Yan Mo. After entering the belly of the Sea God, it was again Suo Lun who saved my life. He is my savior, my liege, and my family. You ask me to become independent, to betray him? Where would your sense of honor be then?"

The whole assembly of Rock Thief Warriors was disheartened at once.

"Right now, Suo Lun already has ten thousand Rock Pirates," Yan Chuo’er said. "Just now, he captured more than twenty thousand more. If you surrender, fifty thousand Rock Pirates will once again unite under him. Suo Lun will reform you into the Rock Thieves Corps, clothe you in the lightest and best armor, and arm you with the finest scimitars. He will lead you to defeat the three mightiest corps of the Rage Wave Kingdom, to occupy the Rage Wave Kingdom in its entirety. But that’s not all; once he ascends to the position of Regent King, he will also lead you to subdue the vast Southern Barbarian Continent. You will annihilate the Barbarian Tribes there, burn them out, loot them dry, and leave nothing behind!"

At these words, the eyes of those present shone fiercely.

"Will you rot away, hidden in the Thunder Archipelago, or will you follow Suo Lun to expand our territory, pillage and establish glorious deeds?" Queen Yan Chuo asked.

This statement, too, inflamed the passions of the Rock Pirates present.

After a moment, hundreds of Rock Pirate Warrior leaders exchanged glances and then bowed, saying, "Your Majesty the Queen, we need to discuss this privately and will give you our response in half an hour."

"Good," Yan Chuo’er left the grand hall straightaway and went to the bedroom chambers at the back.

...

Half an hour later, the Rock Pirate Warrior leaders had finished their discussion.

"Your Majesty the Queen, we are willing to lead the entire Yan Tribe in surrender to Lord Suo Lun," a warrior leader announced. "However, we have several conditions."

"Speak," Yan Chuo’er commanded.

"First," the Rock Thief Warrior leader said, "the Yan Tribe must remain intact; we want an isolated island overseas as our territory. Just Yan Tribe members will reside there, forbidding any others from entering, and we must keep our distance from the mainland and forbid intermarriage."

"Agreed," Yan Chuo’er responded.

"Second," the Rock Thief Warrior leader proclaimed, "we Yan Tribe warriors shall continue to live off warfare and plunder, not engaging in production."

"Agreed," Yan Chuo’er declared, for only in this way could the Yan Tribe maintain its immense battle prowess. The Spartan City-State of ancient Greece was somewhat similar as a fighting class, though still not as pure as the Yan Tribe.

"Third," the Rock Thief Warrior chief proceeded, "our Yan women shall continue to select the most excellent and robust human males to produce offspring!"

Yan Chuo’er’s beautiful eyes furrowed, and then she nodded, saying, "Agreed. What else?"

"Fourth," the Rock Thief Warrior leader continued, "the supreme commander of the Rock Thieves Corps must be Your Majesty the Queen, and all the generals of the fifty thousand strong army must be Rock Thief Warriors. We will not pledge direct allegiance to Suo Lun; our loyalty lies with you, and through you to Lord Suo Lun. But rest assured, we swear by our blood and honor that with a single command, we will fight for Suo Lun.

"This, I cannot promise," Yan Chuo’er stated. "But I can relay the message to Lord Suo Lun."

"Fifth and lastly, Your Majesty the Queen must enter into a marital alliance with Lord Suo Lun, bearing a strong and excellent child to become the next Yan King. Without a new Yan King, we cannot see hope and direction for the future. No marriage alliance, no surrender or loyalty!"

At these words, Yan Chuo’er’s delicate body trembled fiercely.

...

The next day at dawn, Yan Chuo’er finally finished negotiating with the Rock Pirates.

As the sun rose, the Yan Queen gracefully descended from the Yan King’s Palace and arrived at the dock where she mounted a Griffin Beast and returned to Suo Lun’s flagship.

At this time, Suo Lun had already been waiting for a long time in the cabin.

Upon seeing the Yan Queen return, Suo Lun immediately brewed a cup of sweet Sisi grape wine and handed it to Yan Chuo’er.

Yan Chuo’er drank it, first giving Suo Lun a tender smile, saying, "Suo Lun, the Rock Pirates have agreed to surrender and pledge loyalty to you."

Suo Lun was overjoyed.

As Yan Chuo’er had said, the Rock Pirates were indeed past their time at sea, but on land, they were destined to truly shine.

The Rock Pirates feared death not at all, even chasing it deliberately, and each one was agile, cruel, ferocious, and highly skilled—a real warrior race.
