Chapter 42: The Legend of Aquaman

Supporting the king naturally means supporting the king, and it is naturally the king of the sea clan here.

The beast tribe in the north of the continent and the sea tribe in the south are both loose tribal systems, but the beast kings in the north are common, but the sea kings in the south are not often, according to the records of the mainland literature that Xiao Chen has read, there have only been two kings in the sea tribe since ancient times, one is the king of sages who existed in legends in ancient times, and the other is the king of warriors who appeared hundreds of years ago.

The records of the King of the Sages are very scattered in the historical documents of the mainland, and Xiao Chen only knows that he was active long before the Seven Towers era, and he was a sage who brought the Sea Clan out of obscurantism.

From those sporadic stories, Xiao Chen made some speculations that the greatest influence of the King of the Sages on the Sea Clan brought the Sea Clan from the sea to the island and began to live in a tribal way. Although the intelligence of the Sea Tribes themselves is not bad, and their physical strength is superior to that of ordinary humans, when they live in the ocean, they have never been able to evolve civilization. They can't make fires in the ocean, and things decay faster, so they have difficulty using tools, can't develop writing, and have little organization because of their loose habits. But after these primitive sea tribes were brought to the island by the King of the Sages, civilization underwent a qualitative change. They began to have their own writing, learned to use fire, learned to smelt metal, and learned to use the power of magic in an orderly manner. But most importantly, they began to live together as tribes, and they were able to hunt together in the sea, pick and grow on the island, and the increase in food allowed them to increase their population.

The current tribal structure of the Sea Clan, the way each tribe deliberates, and the status of the various tribes in the sea in the Sea Clan were all established from that time. It can be said that if it weren't for this king of sages, the sea tribes born in the sea might still be just a few sporadic water savages, and they would not have become a huge force that threatens the southern city-states at all times.

However, Xiao Chen didn't think that this so-called undercurrent alliance would have anything to do with the King of Sages. On the contrary, the king of warriors who appeared hundreds of years ago may have something to do with them.

"Are you talking about the Sea King who was defeated by Emperor Rick of the Black Dragon Empire?" Xiao Chen asked.

Trina said with a little reverence in her eyes, "Yes." That's His Majesty Andal. He is the result of hundreds of years of hard work by the Undercurrent Alliance. The Undercurrent Alliance was formed very early, and the alliance believed that the Sea Clan should be united like the kingdom of mankind, with a king to lead everyone forward. In this way, the Sea Clan will have more powerful power. The Alliance has spent hundreds of years trying to prop up several different powerhouses to conquer and merge the surrounding tribes. But none of them succeeded in the end, and each one was killed in the internal struggle of the Sea Clan.

Although the Sea Clan is a name, there are actually many very different tribes, the huge whales and the tiny Seahorses have nothing in common at all, some tribes will interact with you humans, while others will hardly appear in front of you humans. There will also be various conflicts between different races, and it is very difficult to find a suitable king who can serve the public. ”

"And then you found, and then cultivated Andal?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Yes, at this time, Andal appeared, he is from the shark clan, his own strength is very strong, and the tribe he belongs to is also very powerful. At that time, my predecessors thought that he was brave, powerful, and majestic, and that he was the best candidate for the king. The Undercurrent Alliance secretly contacted him, incorporated his tribe into the alliance, and then gave him a lot of help. He did not disappoint the alliance either, and gradually began to conquer many small tribes, gathering their forces together, and then going to conquer more powerful tribes, his army became stronger and stronger, and more and more strong men joined his command to fight. Originally, we would have seen the rise of a maritime kingdom. But when he conquered half of the Sea Tribe's tribes, Andal's ambitions changed. Despite the dissuasion of the Alliance, he set his eyes on the land of conquest. Trina said.

"Oh, I told you, the Undercurrent Alliance didn't want him to go to war with the forces on the continent at that time?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Of course, my predecessors hoped that he would unify the Sea Clan first, but Andal, greedy for the riches of the human world, couldn't wait to launch an attack on the human race when the unification war was only half completed. It was in this attack that he was finally defeated by Emperor Rick of the Black Dragon Empire. Life, thrones, kingdoms, everything is gone. ”

"I don't think this statement is very credible, after all, the scale of this battle that swept through the south of the continent was very large, and the Black Dragon Empire itself collapsed. Andal would not have been able to wage such a large-scale battle without the support of your alliance. I believe this is an after-the-fact abdication of responsibility by the Alliance. Xiao Chen said.

"This ...... It doesn't matter anymore. Trina looked at the wreckage and corpses on the side of the ship and said, "Just like me now, one failure loses all opportunities. There is no point in saying whose responsibility it is. ”

"For many years after that, though, it seemed like the alliance didn't move. Xiao Chen said.

"In that big war, no matter what kind of intentions the families in the alliance had, they all invested a lot of strength in the end, so the final rout also caused a lot of losses to the alliance, like Andal's tribe, which was almost completely destroyed. And a family like mine has also suffered a large number of casualties.

After the end of the war with the humans, the tribes that were originally conquered by Andal rebelled and became independent, and the Sea Clan fought several civil wars in succession, and the power of the alliance was weakened to the limit, and until now, it has begun to gradually recover. ”

"Then now that a few hundred years have passed, have you found a suitable successor to the Sea King?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Yes. ”

"Who is he?"

"I am. ”

"You!" Xiao Chen raised his voice, this answer was really beyond his expectations.

Trina's voice was filled with regret and resentment, "I am one of them, and it turns out that there are five candidates, all of whom are the most powerful young people in several major families. Three of them were gradually eliminated for various reasons, and when it came to this point, there were actually only two of them, me and Cassino, the archmage of the mermaid family. Originally, I thought that today's attack was my chance. As long as I can grab the new powerful warship built by the human race, my position will be secured, but I didn't expect this to be the result. ”
