MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 424: Alliance

The Frogman Prince was immediately angered and said, “Don’t push me. I may not be good at combat, but I have several forms, equivalent to several lives. Even if you’re formidable, how many times can you kill me? I’m just a destitute prince who has been driven out, the only savings I had have been extorted by you. Even if you kill me now, you get nothing.”

Li Yao laughed and said, “Prince, you misunderstand. As far as I know, you’re the prince of the Tidal Frogmen, aren’t you?”

“You actually know my true origin.” The Frogman Prince said in surprise.

Li Yao nodded and said: “Of course, I also know the rules of how the Tidal Frogmen choose their successors.”

“Since you know, then I am even less valuable to you. I am a complete loser. Now, let alone inheriting the throne of the tribe, I can’t even return to the tribe.” The Frogman Prince said with a deep voice.

“How could it be a failure? As far as I know, newly matured princes are sent to the coast to establish their own tribes. The trial usually lasts three years; is your time up?” Li Yao asked.

The Frogman Prince shook his head and said: “No, I have only established my tribe for one year. But who would have thought that my most trusted friend turned out to be a mole arranged by my uncle. I trusted him so much and delegated everything to him, but he betrayed me. He has now taken control of the tribe. Whether he was sent by my uncle or not, I was sidelined. The elders will not let a loser inherit the throne.”

Li Yao quickly said: “Do you know that when your uncle was not of age, your father had already inherited the throne. At that time, he lost the right to inherit the throne. Especially after you were born, he had no chance. He obviously wanted to scheme against you and make you lose your eligibility for the throne. This is just the first step. Once he gains the right to inheritance, the next step might be to harm your father. Think about it, once your father dies, your uncle will naturally inherit the throne.”

The Frogman Prince, who was about to step into the seawater, stopped and turned to look at Li Yao and said; “That’s impossible, my father is very powerful.”

Li Yao laughed and said: “You should know better than me what kind of power the person with the right to inheritance possesses. Even if your father is powerful, he can’t be on guard all the time. OK, let’s say your uncle doesn’t have the power and strength right now, but what if your father ages? Think about it, by then your uncle will be old too. Do you think he will hold back?”

“Then what should I do?” The Frogman Prince was completely confused by Li Yao’s stirring words.

Li’s sister was speechless, she hadn’t expected Li Yao to wheedle even a monster. What on earth is he up to?

In fact, Li Yao was not exaggerating. The intelligence of the higher races in the Ancient Gods was not weaker than the people in the real world and intrigues were commonplace. However, this world focuses on power.

And powerful individuals are rarely fond of intrigue, of course, except for certain special races.

“What should you do? Isn’t it clear? Naturally, reclaim your tribe. As long as you have the right to inheritance, your uncle’s power is not enough to overturn it.” Li Yao stated firmly.

“I don’t have that kind of power.” The Frogman Prince said bitterly.

Li Yao calmly said: “You are the prince after all, and your subordinates are at most controlling the army. As long as they are eliminated, your tribe will still support you. You still have two years to develop and strengthen your tribe.”

“Do you still not understand? I am alone now.” The Frogman Prince said irritably.

“I can help you.” Li Yao said.

“Why would you help me, and what would it cost me? If you intend to hit my treasures again, forget it. Everything I brought has already been swindled by you.” It was clear the Frogman Prince was still upset about what had happened before.

“Ha ha ha, that was a misunderstanding. Never mind, let’s not bring up these hurtful matters.” Li Yao said, waving his hand: “Let’s talk about the plan instead. I am the president of a guild, with thousands of members under me. My request for helping you is simple. Form an alliance with our guild and become trade partners.”

The Frogman Prince found it hard to believe and said: “What, is that all you ask?”

Li Yao, however, said gravely: “In my view, alliance is sacred. It’s not a small matter. I don’t mean to hide from you, Prince, but I also have forces supporting me. The guild will develop on the sandbar land. You can swap your sea products for our land-based products. Along with other advantages, your tribe will surely prosper, and my guild will thrive. What’s there to lose?”

“You land creatures are too cunning and ruthless, I can’t trust you.” The Frogman Prince shook his head.

“Pardon my directness, but you’re already destitute, and even your last asset belongs to me. Is there anything about you that is worth my deceiving? Maybe I sound arrogant, but if I want to kill you, it won’t be difficult.”

As Li Yao was talking, a hydra appeared beside the Frogman Prince, who was spooked. The hydra is notorious and is one of their enemies in the sea.

Only then did the Frogman Prince believe Li Yao, because as Li Yao said, what else could be worth deceiving about him now?

If Li Yao was with the rebels, bringing his head would suffice. There was absolutely no need for such a hassle.

“Okay, I’ll issue a pursuit order to you. If you help me get rid of the traitor and his army, you will gain my friendship and my tribe will form an alliance with your guild.” The Frogman Prince caved, like someone grasping at straws.

However, he was at a dead end now. The traitor’s eyes were everywhere in the sea, and if he moved to other sea areas, he would enter the territory of other races, which would be even more dangerous.

As for the land, he was surrounded several times within two days of his arrival. If it wasn’t for his feigning-death skill, he would have been doomed.

“Okay, fine. I’ll take this mission.” Li Yao showed a smile and said: “My plan is this. Listen, but it needs your cooperation.”

The Frogman Prince, listening to Li Yao explain the plan, gradually showed a smile and let down his guard.

Li Yao and his sister swam side by side into the deep sea. Because of the Sealing Sea Pearl, they were moving very fast and agile, like quick fish.

“So that’s what you had in mind, you kept it so hidden.” Li’s sister said.

Li Yao shook his head and said: “Running into this prince was just an accident. My original plan was to sneak into the Frogman Tribe and kill an important figure. Then, I’d lure creatures to our planned location and kill them to level up. Now with this prince, it’s even better.”

Li’s sister nodded and said: “If we can really form an alliance with the Frogmen, then our guild will have another source of income, which is indeed a good thing. But is this plan really feasible? Will the Frogman Prince keep his promise?”

Li Yao laughed: “Think about it. Today, more than half of the tribal army was killed, the tribe is severely wounded. This prince can’t complete his trial by normal means. Cooperating with us is the best way, he has no choice.”

Li’s sister finally got it…
