Chapter 1075 - 631: One Slash
Outside the Pearl Clan village,
in the tranquil shallow sea, the originally calm sea surface suddenly became tumultuous.
An army of well-trained, heavily armed Fishmen emerged from the ocean like sovereigns of the sea, steering massive sea beasts whose scales glittered coldly in the sunlight, exuding an imposing aura.
These Fishman warriors donned heavy armor engraved with mysterious runes, wielding incredibly sharp weapons, their eyes flickering with a cruel intent to kill.
The Fishman army was neatly arranged on the sea surface, with the roars of sea beasts and the battle cries of the warriors interweaving, forming a palpable sense of killing intent.
This killing intent hung over the entire Fishman village like something tangible, causing every Fishman in the village to feel an unprecedented threat.
Under command, the women and young Fishmen of the Pearl Clan hurriedly retreated to the village, while the elderly and adult Fishmen took up weapons, though momentarily intimidated by the imposing presence of the Fishman army before them, their trembling hands gripped their weapons tightly, standing guard in front of their homes.
The Fishman army fixated their gaze tightly on the village before them, as if they were about to launch a thunderous attack at any moment, turning this peaceful sea into a bloody ocean.
At this time, a large grey Fishman appeared at the forefront of the army and shouted loudly towards the Fishman village in front of them:
"Tell Berion to come out quickly, or Lord Georgia will completely destroy the Pearl Clan!"
"If he comes out obediently to accept his death, Lord Georgia might spare him!"
The one appearing here was none other than Berion’s competitor, the Golden-stage Fishman, Georgia.
He was also a descendant of the [Evil Food Shark] O’Neill.
With a legend backing him, while the Pearl Clan’s legendary supporter of Berion suddenly being deceased, it was great news for Georgia.
Initially, in the competition between Georgia and Berion, he was slightly weaker than Berion.
After all, both sides were backed by legendary crowns, so they had to rely solely on their own strength and methods.
In this aspect, Georgia had suffered several setbacks from Berion, although they were not significant, they made him wary of Berion.
And now, since the legendary crown of the Pearl Clan was no longer around, Georgia no longer needed to worry about any unspoken rules and directly leveraged the influence of his legendary elder to suppress Berion.
Although [Evil Food Shark] O’Neill did not directly support Georgia, at present, with only one other remaining legendary crown in the Treasure Pearl Fishman Tribe, no Fishman from other clans dared to defy Georgia who was borrowing the tiger’s might.
After all, who would dare to seek verification from [Evil Food Shark] O’Neill?
Because of this reason, Berion found himself defeated in the subsequent struggles.
Of course, this was also because Berion hesitated for a period of time.
He did not want to give up the opportunity to compete for the leader of the Fishman United Tribe and still harbored a glimmer of fantasy in his heart - what if Matteo the Crown just got severely wounded and couldn’t show up?
If that were true, then giving up the competition would be wasting an opportunity.
Due to this moment of hesitation, he was suddenly at a disadvantage.
Until he realized that if he persisted any longer, it wouldn’t just be his life at stake; even the Pearl Clan couldn’t be saved, he decided to give up the competition and head to the Church of the Ocean Goddess to request the church’s witness.
Although he was prepared, he did not expect Georgia to be so decisive and directly arranged for people to surround him.
At that time, although Georgia arranged for people to pursue Berion, no good news came; it wasn’t until he sent others to search that they discovered the remnants of a battlefield and Berion’s disappearance.
For him, Berion was a thorn in his side, so he didn’t intend to leave this scourge alive.
That’s why Georgia specifically arranged for people to keep an eye on the Pearl Clan, to look for traces of Berion.
Upon getting the information that Berion returned to the clan, Georgia hurriedly brought the army over.
This time, he brought all his subordinates, including the elite forces [Dark Sea Guard] which only the tribal leader could mobilize, all to thoroughly kill Berion.
The other members of the tribe turned a blind eye to Georgia’s actions. After all, under such circumstances, Berion had no chance of turning the tables; with [Evil Food Shark] O’Neill’s support, Georgia had already been designated as the tribal leader.
Georgia stood with a Fish Spear in hand, in front of the mighty army, his expression extremely smug.
In his view, being able to crush Berion, who had overshadowed him for so many years, felt like a significant relief.
At the same time, eliminating Berion as a threat was also a chance to showcase his renown to others.
Gazing at the Pearl Clan village before him, Georgia’s eyes gleamed with greed.
This was a place that had birthed legendary strongmen, and the Pearl Clan was considered the most ancient branch within the Treasure Pearl Fishman Tribe, reputedly harboring no small number of treasures within the village.
After killing Berion, he wouldn’t mind looting the village.
After all, the severely weakened Pearl Clan would no longer have the power to resist for some time, and might not even be able to hold onto this rich sea territory.
Georgia, however, didn’t intend to annihilate the entire Pearl Clan. As the tribal leader now, he should show a bit of mercy.
Let others handle it!
