For this approach, An Rui is a little angry, but he can barely accept it, after all, his main purpose is to occupy these countries and increase his occupancy, and everything else is secondary. Even if there is nothing left of the country, his purpose can still be achieved.

As the king ran away, the entire Winter Kingdom fell into chaos and entered a state of anarchy, with powerful people burning and looting everywhere, and the common people were miserable. This account still has to be counted on An Rui's head.

What began as a war of aggression turned into an operation to restore order, and Anrui sent troops to various towns to restore the normal operation of these towns, and executed some of the gangsters who took advantage of the chaos to kill people and set fires. As for the fleeing king, he did not send anyone to chase him, but only to draw attention to the news related to him. The Endless Sea is too vast to find the escaped king, and it is better to wait for the famous king to reveal his whereabouts than to search for it now.

It will take some time to restore order in the Winter Country, and it will take even longer to undo the wounds, and Anrui cannot waste time in this country, but will aim at the sea.

To calculate the occupancy of a sea area, it is necessary to look at two aspects, on the one hand, the land occupancy, and on the other hand, the marine occupancy. Possession of a piece of land gives you access to land and coastal areas, but not to the deep sea. If you want to take possession of the sea, you have to burn the flames of war to the bottom of the sea and defeat those fish-people as well!

Fish-people are different from terrestrial peoples, most of them are simple-minded and cold by nature. It's equivalent to a ferocious fish with higher intelligence. Creatures like this are destined not to form large-scale states, but only small tribes at best. Want to conquer these fishmen. It is more difficult than conquering countries on land.

Fishmen are all tendons, very bold, lack of accurate judgment of the enemy's strength, even if they encounter a strong enemy, they do not know how to admit defeat, but will rush up with a big mouth, never dying. The human nation sees that Anrui is strong. will know how to surrender voluntarily and save their lives, and the fish-people will not do this.

Worse. Fishmen are very difficult to rule, and even if the people on the shore defeat them and force them to obey, they will not obey. Or do it your own way. The sea is vast. The fish-people can go wherever they want, and it is difficult to control them.

All countries have trained underwater troops, but the scale is not very large, and it is precisely because of the overall characteristics of the fish-man group that it is almost impossible to cultivate a well-trained fish-man army.

An Rui has fought for so long, and has occupied all the big countries in the Endless Sea, and most of those small countries have already surrendered on their own initiative, and those who refuse to surrender do not need him to send troops to fight. Just send your men to attack. The next thing to do is to attack the underwater forces of the Endless Sea.

The fish-man is undisciplined. Lacking a sense of honor and only knowing how to eat, even if disaster strikes, they will not be able to fight Cthulhu together with humans. Since these are some guys who are not needed, there is no need to be polite, An Rui plans to use a flat push method to deal with these fishmen, destroy all the fish-man tribes with low IQ, and keep only those fish-man tribes with high IQ and willing to surrender.

An Rui had long expected that sooner or later there would be a large-scale undersea war, so he had already purchased a large number of bubble stones and built a large number of fish-man ships. With these things, even an army on land can fight deep underwater.

The war soon began.

An Rui led a large army deep into the bottom of the sea and launched an attack on those fish-man tribes, destroying one fish-man tribe after another. After destroying these tribes, he will use the Heart Whisper Necklace to communicate with the fishmen and force them to surrender, but unfortunately with little success, only a very small number of the fishmen are willing to surrender.

The fishmen who surrendered were all incorporated into the underwater force and became part of the unit.

An Rui didn't expect these surrendered fishmen to stay at the bottom of the sea honestly, so he simply took all the surrendered fishmen away, and took them wherever the war advanced, so that they could become a new force. Fish-man tribes tend to be very small, with the smallest tribes having only a dozen members, not even a tribe, the larger tribes having a few hundred members, and very few merfolk tribes exceeding this number.

The war was long and bloody, and Anrui's army stained the waters of the Endless Sea red, and with the passage of the army and the reduction of the fish-man tribe, Anrui's occupation of the Endless Sea has continued to rise, reaching sixty percent!

As long as the occupancy of a sea area reaches 90%, you can obtain the approval of the Sea Emperor's Holy Order, and this artifact will take the initiative to appear.

The Holy Decree of the Sea Emperor has existed since ancient times, and there have been many heroes and heroes in history who have occupied a whole sea area and been recognized by the Holy Decree of the Sea Emperor. An Rui launched such a large-scale war, obviously going to the Sea Emperor's holy order, which caused a new round of condemnation, and many people thought that it was too cruel to obtain the artifact in this way.

An Rui chose to ignore all these criticisms, and he would not respond unless those big forces with whom he had a good relationship strongly asked to speak to him. The reason for his response is simple, it is to gain great power and then use it against Cthulhu.

The news of Cthulhu's imminent awakening has already spread among the big guys, and even though most of the general public doesn't know about it, the big guys know it all out.

An Rui used the salvation as a reason, and the reason is still very sufficient, and it has been recognized by some big people, but more people still condemn him again and again in consideration of their own interests.

It's no wonder that these big names jumped up, because they had foreseen that when Anrui dominated the entire Endless Sea, they would point the finger at other seas, and even trample them under their feet. An Rui's strong rise is a great threat to them, a threat that could lead to their downfall. This threat can be seen and touched, even more terrifying than Cthulhu!

……

The undersea war in the Endless Sea is coming to an end.

Excluding those scattered fish-man tribes, there are only two large-scale fish-man tribes left in the Endless Sea, one is the mermaid tribe and the other is the sea lion tribe.

The mermaids and the sea lion people have high IQs, no different from humans, and they are both powerful, the two most powerful tribes in the Endless Sea. In contrast, mermaids are more powerful, but their number is small, adding up to just over 300 people. Sea lion people are weak individually, but they are numerous, as many as tens of thousands!

Long before Anrui started the war, the two tribes often clashed and wars broke out. After Anrui led his army deep into the seabed, the two tribes felt threatened, stopped fighting for the time being, and were all on the lookout.

Mermaids are an extremely beautiful group, and An Rui is unwilling to destroy flowers with his hands, and the sea lion tribe is one of the very few people in the fish people group that attaches equal importance to strength and wisdom, if possible, An Rui hopes to bring this tribe under his command and turn this group of sea lion people into an army.

In order to win without a fight, Anrui prepared a negotiation for the two fish-man tribes, hoping to convince the two fish-man tribes through negotiations.

The negotiation was arranged to take place in the mirage realm, and the two mirage stones were sent by An Rui to the two tribes, so that the patriarchs of the two tribes would not dare to come to see him.

……

A phantom realm made of mirage stone.

An Rui clasped his hands in front of his chest, dressed in white clothes and light armor, with two swords hanging from his waist, his body was straight, like a knife. The patriarchs of the two fish-man tribes stood in front of him, and the three of them formed a triangle.

The mermaid patriarch wears a thin blue shirt with a faint palette made of shells, and ornaments made of pearls on his hands and neck. Her face is as deep as water, her appearance is cold and compelling, and her beauty is even beyond people's imagination.

The Sea Lion Patriarch was unusually tall, stronger than the Orcs, fat and round, with two long fangs extended. Its body resembles that of a sea lion, with a pair of thick arms extending from its sides and a tail characteristic of sea lions below its waist. This body structure is destined to be able to move only on the bottom of the sea, and cannot stay on shore for a long time.

"Two patriarchs, the current situation, even if I don't say it, you two must be clear. I sincerely hope that you can focus on the overall situation, surrender to the Nova Empire, and obey the dispatch of the Nova Empire. An Rui broke the silence and was the first to speak, first at the beautiful mermaid, and then at the big-shouldered and round-waisted sea lion man.

"King Anrui," the mermaid spoke, her voice crisp and moving, "I admit that you and the Nova Empire are very strong, and we 'Pearl Tribe' are not able to resist, but it doesn't mean that we will surrender if you are strong." If your army is overwhelmed, we of the Pearl Tribe will not mind changing to a new home, leaving the Endless Sea and taking refuge in other seas. Therefore, we will never surrender. ”

"Okay, you don't surrender." An Rui's expression was calm and he didn't get angry, "But you don't need to run away in a hurry, I can give your Pearl Tribe a large enough living area to keep you in your original home." I promise not to attack you, and you will not invade my territory, and we will not invade each other. ”

The reason why An Rui is so generous is because of the particularity of the mermaid race, and because he doesn't need to occupy all the Endless Sea, as long as he occupies ninety percent, the one that remains is enough to place the Pearl Tribe.

The mermaid patriarch showed a look of surprise, he really didn't expect An Rui to agree so happily.

A king's promise still carries a lot of weight, and the mermaid does not doubt the truth of Anrui's words.

"Okay, that's it, we can live together peacefully from now on." A shallow smile appeared on the mermaid's cold face. (To be continued......)
