Chapter 116 Daken's Ambition and the Descent of the Nightmare

Chapter 116 Daken's Ambition and the Descent of the Nightmare

At the end of the year 1483 in the Ocean Calendar, in the New World, at a depth of 10,000 meters in the deep sea, lies Fishman Island.

Fishman Island, currently experiencing turmoil and rebellion, is living in a dark age.

On the island, pirate forces roam freely, ignoring the Rocks Pirates' flag flying above the island, openly burning, killing, and looting, committing all sorts of atrocities.

Oh no, it's not just ignoring them, it's practically trampling the Rocks Pirates' name underfoot.

The royal army on Fishman Island was completely ineffective at this moment.

This is because a violent upheaval had already occurred within the Dragon Palace Kingdom.

The power held by the current King Agil is being continuously weakened under the manipulation of the kingdom's Grand General Daken.

Now, aside from retaining the title of king, he can only command the loyal royal army.

The others were either Daken's men or fence-sitters, not worth mentioning.

Under such circumstances, how could the entire Fishman Island possibly move in a positive direction?

With Daken's tacit approval, a large number of mermaids were captured by the island's pirates and taken to the outside world for auction or as a bargaining chip for promotion.

In total, hundreds of mermaids have tragically met their demise.

As for murlocs, there are even more, too many to count.

Faced with this situation, the mermaids only had two options left.

One option is to hide in some deserted places on Fishman Island, such as the Sea Forest.

But these places are too dangerous, and it's easy to lose your life or be found by pirates.

Another option is to hide outside Fishman Island and find a place to live in the deep sea.

However, this method is vulnerable to attacks from deep-sea sea monsters.

Neither of these methods offers much of a chance of survival; it's truly a terrible ordeal.

Under these circumstances, public opinion on the island gradually became extreme, splitting into two sides.

Most of the original inhabitants of Fishman Island began to miss the protection of the Rocks Pirates, when life was indeed much more comfortable.

A small minority of extreme murlocs have become even more extreme, and are even more excited about this situation.

Those who thrive on chaos hope to see an increasingly chaotic Fishman Island, as this will facilitate their next step in establishing their rule.

At the same time, this process promotes the idea of ​​Murloc supremacy and expands the influence of the Murlocs.

Daken is a representative figure of this small group.

Inside a secret underground government building on the outskirts of Fishman Island, the air was stuffy and humid.

This is the heart of the rebellion controlled by King Agil's brother, Daken.

This hall, forged from volcanic rock and deep-sea metal, is currently hosting a secret meeting that will determine the fate of Fishman Island.

Daken, the robust, saw-toothed shark-man, sat in the main seat, a fanatical and morbid smile on his face.

His gaze swept over the dozen or so core confidants and various pirate leaders in the hall, his voice low and seductive.

"Our time has come!"

Daken slammed his hand on the table, causing the seawater on it to ripple slightly.

"That stubborn old man, Aegir, is always thinking about peaceful coexistence with humans. He's a disgrace to the fish-men."

"Look at the human pirates who have flooded the island in recent years. They act with impunity, plundering resources. Is this the treatment we, the pride of the sea," deserve?"

A massive manatee fish-man general standing beside him, known as Ironclad Gru, immediately chimed in.

"Your Highness Daken is wise! The Fishmen possess Fishmen Karate and the power of the sea, we should be Fishmen Supreme!"

'

"Drive out all those lowly humans, suppress the merfolk who lord it over us, and take all the wealth of Fishman Island for ourselves."

Daken nodded in satisfaction, tapping his fingers on the table.

"Excellent! Our plan is more than halfway complete. That brute-force-all fool Neptune is no match for us."

"As for that old fellow Aigil, there's no need to worry about him. He's old and practically useless."

"There are two potential problems that we need to pay close attention to right now. One is the group of ignorant fishmen in Fishman Street, led by Tiger."

"The second hidden danger, and also the most important one, is the group of pirates that were recruited."

After speaking, Daken paused for a moment and looked at a hawk-nosed fishman.

"Cass, the pirates you brought, although they transported a lot of weapons for us, are insatiable."

"After we seize power, how should we deal with them in a way that is clean and does not affect the overall situation?"

Cass gave a sinister laugh, his voice hoarse.

"Your Highness, this is very simple. When we launch our general offensive, we will position them at the forefront to deplete the Dragon Palace's forces."

"After the war, regardless of whether they were dead or alive, they were all disposed of under the pretext of 'cleaning up the remnants of the rebel army.'"

"In any case, the principle of fish-men supremacy will never allow humans to run rampant on the island."

"Your Highness, Cass's idea is excellent. All humans are untrustworthy and must be killed."

"I agree with Your Highness. Let's wipe out those pirates and show them who truly rules the seas."

A chilling laugh echoed through the hall, everyone lost in their fantasies of impending victory and a bloody purge.

Daken's ambitions had reached their peak.

Although it was he who instructed his subordinates to lead these pirates to Fishman Island and commit these crimes, it doesn't mean that Daken had no objections to them.

However, the reason for this reluctant action was to completely erase the Rocks Pirates' traces on Fishman Island, and since their lineage couldn't be too aggressive.

Otherwise, Daken, who adheres to the principle of merman supremacy, would not have looked down on this group of pirates.

Leaving aside these pirates, he didn't even look down on Rocks, whose strength was far superior to his own.

To put it bluntly, Daken, along with his entire group of followers, are all extreme racists.

"In that case, we'll do as you say. We'll make preparations in advance and then clear everything out, leaving nothing behind."

"Your Highness, I have another question to report."

"Speak."

"These pirates can be eliminated, but what about our captured mermaids and fish-men? A large portion of them have been taken to the surface by human traffickers."

At this moment, a slightly simple-minded merman, who still retained a trace of "humanity," stepped forward to report to the leader.

The thought of those several merfolk and fish-man brothers and sisters who had been abducted and taken away was like a knife to his heart.

"this----"

Daken was slightly speechless; this was indeed a troublesome matter.

Although, these trafficked mermaids and fish-men were the result of his tacit approval.

But he was indeed worried that this would become an obstacle to his later rule over Fishman Island.

But soon, Daken came to his senses, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes, and said directly.

"Simply declare that these trafficked fish-men and mermaids are dead, and that the killings were committed by humans."

"As for the merfolk and fishmen who weren't taken away after the pirates were killed, kill them all. They can't exist anymore, so as not to affect the overall situation."

"But----"

"I told you, we can't let this affect the overall situation, understand?"

Daken stared intently at the honest-looking fishman who was speaking, and said with a hint of threat.

"Yes, I understand."

Although he was resentful and found it unbelievable that his Highness would be so cruel to his family members who were also on the same island.

Unfortunately, the die was cast, and there was nothing he could do to change it.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Daken stood up, preparing to deliver his final mobilization speech.

The unexpected finally happened, and Daken's nightmare was about to begin!
