Chapter 94: Stone Country
"Retreated? How boring."
Upon receiving the news of the G5 Fortress Navy's Evacuation, Shiki looked displeased.
The Marines were getting more and more incompetent.
"Looks like we came for nothing. Let's head back."
"Yes, they've already reached the Stone Country," Calloway agreed from the side.
The news spread throughout the entire Kingdom in a short time.
At this moment, the Stone Country was in chaos.
Why?
Because the Rocks Pirates had arrived and were targeting them.
Pirate Ships docked along the shore of the Stone Country, heading directly for the Royal Capital of the Stone Country.
"Kill!"
"Plunder everything!"
"Don't let those Noble escape!"
.
.
.
Pirate after Pirate charged towards the Stone Country almost maniacally, their coveted Treasure right before their eyes.
What were they waiting for?
The Military of the Stone Country.
.
.
they did want to fight back, but Rocks D.
Xebec's single Conqueror's Haki paralyzed more than half of the Military.
Moreover, the Rocks Pirates' attack came too suddenly, leaving the Stone Country no time to prepare a Resistance.
Weren't the Rocks Pirates targeting the Marines?
Why did they suddenly come here?
No matter what doubts they had in their hearts, they now had only one thought: run, just run.
The unstoppable Rocks had arrived!
Stone Country Royal Palace.
"King! We should run quickly, or it will be too late!"
A group of people were trying to persuade the Elder holding the Scepter.
"Run? This is my Kingdom! My Residents are suffering, how can I live on like a coward?"
"The Kingdom is about to be annihilated. I will stay with the Kingdom."
The Elder had resolved.
"You all leave. The Kingdom's Foundation and Elite are still here. I've long anticipated this day, and it's not too late now."
"Wait for the Rocks Pirates to leave, then come back."
"Wait until the Rocks Pirates are destroyed, then rebuild the Stone Country."
"Remember, do not dream of resisting the Rocks Pirates. As long as you are still here, the Stone Country will still be here."
The Elder's words made the Royal Family and Confidants present burst into tears.
They had no choice but to leave, leaving only the Elder and two others behind.
"Greg, from now on, you are the King of the Stone Country. You must take care of Duncan."
The Elder said to his child, Greg, taking off his Crown and Scepter and handing them to him.
Looking at his grandson, his eyes held unconcealed satisfaction.
"Don't worry, Duncan will definitely Grow Up smoothly. Temporary decline is nothing. The Stone Country will eventually return to its Peak in his hands. The Tim Family will endure forever!"
"Good, hurry and leave."
Do not resist the Rocks Pirates.
Smart Kingdom, even world powers, held this thought.
Although helpless, it was the best method.
Preserving the Kingdom's Elite meant it could be rebuilt at any time.
Even Powerhouse Nations like the Stone Country had long prepared contingency plans.
Although the arrival of the Rocks Pirates was very sudden, after a brief period of chaos, the entire Stone Country quickly became orderly.
The Kingdom's Residents, under the Command of local Officer, immediately went into hiding.
A bit of Treasure.
.
.
let it be lost.
Compared to life, it wasn't that important.
In fact, a vast amount of Treasure had already been prepared in the Stone Country's Royal Palace; otherwise, it wouldn't satisfy the enormous appetite of the Rocks Pirates.
This would cause the Rocks Pirates to turn their attention towards ordinary Residents.
As for those Noble, who cared about them? They only affected the Royal Family's Ruling Status over the Kingdom.
It was better if they died.
For a reborn Stone Country, there was no ship to carry them.
Everyone had left.
The King of the Stone Country, who had taken off his Crown, wore a Peaceful expression.
Because he knew that the Stone Country had not been annihilated.
Through the hands of Rocks, it would usher in a new life.
From the moment he received the news from the World Government, he understood that the World Government could not be trusted at all.
"Just wait. This is just the beginning. I'll be waiting for you down below!"
A blood-stained Longsword dropped, and the Elder's body then fell to the ground, lying in a Pool of Blood.
News of the King's suicide quickly spread throughout the Royal Capital, and even the entire Kingdom.
This news was very shocking, even surprising the members of the Rocks Pirates, because they hadn't faced much Resistance at all.
The Kingdom's Residents even honestly placed the Treasure they had at their doors, making the Pirate feel awkward about going inside to Plunder.
Some people even voluntarily came forward to tell them where the Treasure was located, and where there was Treasure.
The empty Royal Palace was left for them to Plunder.
The mountains of Treasure made them feel somewhat at a loss.
Facing this situation, the members of the Rocks Pirates tacitly put down their Weapons.
However, elsewhere, things were completely unrestrained.
Led by locals, the residences of Noble were found one by one.
Towards these Noble, the Pirate showed no mercy.
Blades rose and fell, reclaiming their dignity as Pirate.
"A respectable Kingdom, a respectable Royal Family."
Hades, who was on the shore, did not participate.
"Watching" the Stone Country's reaction to the Rocks Pirates, he couldn't help but praise them.
They protected the Kingdom, exchanging Treasure for peace.
The King's blood preserved the Royal Family's dignity.
As the Noble were purged, the Royal Family's Ruling Status and the Foundation of their rule over the people would only become more stable.
The Stone Country was destroyed, yet it was not destroyed.
After the Rocks Pirates leave, the Stone Country will definitely be rebuilt, and the Stone Country at that time will only be stronger.
That fleeting Conqueror's Haki told Hades that the Stone Country also possessed a deep Foundation.
In comparison, the Royal Family of the Croydia Kingdom, which was annihilated before, was truly too foolish.
Hades was eventually going to return to the Kronos Kingdom.
Regarding these Wars of Annihilation, he would not participate in any of them.
This brought him no benefit, only harm, and would only become a Stain on him.
Staying on the shore to watch the pirate ships was also a relatively important task.
Other Pirate were also happy that no one was competing with them for Treasure.
