Chapter 193: The Daro Tribe Submits
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat!
“Daro leader, what are you doing!? Didn’t we agree that the Toothwood Tribe would follow us and seek refuge under the Lord for a way to survive?”
“Could it be that the prestigious Daro Tribe is going back on its word today?11
Lady Irona stood up, glaring at him.
Daro glanced at her, his worm-like eyebrows furrowing. “Irona, 1 know you are the smartest Half-Orc on King Kong Island, and I did promise you that before. But after 1 came here, my thoughts changed.”
With that, Daro looked towards Ji Chen, a proud expression crossing his face, along with a hint of disdain and doubt. “The Daro Tribe only submits to rhe strong, but he doesn’t look like a strong one at all. Such a thin and weak body, 1 could easily snap his arms and legs with just one hand. Tell me, can the honorable Daro Tribe bow to a we aiding like him?”
“No!!!” The Half-Orcs behind Daro roared angrily, thumping their chests with clenched fists.
Lady Irona was speechless, realizing that to make this group of muscle-headed Half-Orcs truly submit, she would have to conquer them with her personal strength. But Lord Ji Chen…
Clearly, even Lady Irona had little hope in this regard. After all, she had only witnessed the strength of the young girl beside Ji Chen but had never seen him take action. It seemed that like her, he was not adept at combat and belonged to the strategist type.
Seeing Lady Irona at a loss for words, Daro felt triumphant. However, he suddenly noticed the strange expressions on the faces of the other humans present.
When I_Love_Black_Stockings heard the burly Half-Orc say that the Big Boss Islander was weak, she couldn’t hold back her feelings.
What kind of confidence did this Half-Orc have to dare to say such things?
If the Big Boss Islander was considered weak, then what did that make the rest of them?
Seeing that he couldn’t convince Daro, Lady Irona could only apologize.
“Your Excellency, please don’t mind what he said. The Half-Orc race highly reveres strength and does not prioritize intelligence. The Daro Tribe, in particular, selects its leader entirely based on strength, even naming the tribe after the leader. So…”
In other words, the leaders selected are usually muscle-headed dunces, just like Daro in front of them.
However, this Daro was nor an ordinary Half-Orc; he was a hero.

[Leader of the Half-Orc Tribe, if you can subdue him, he can serve as a subordinate charging into battle]
Wow, he was similar to Benbo. Not only did he have decent strength himself, but he could also provide significant bonuses to the same type of units.
As Daro noticed the slightly strange looks from the other humans, he couldn’t make sense of it. But soon, he dismissed the thought. What was he thinking? Let’s just fight first!
“If you want me, if you want the Daro Tribe to submit, you must defeat me first!!!”
Daro shouted loudly at Ji Chen, his naturally loud voice almost deafening the others present.
Ji Chen looked at this muscle-headed Half-Orc with some helplessness.
At first, he felt a bit annoyed by Daro’s words, but after realizing that he was just a brainless Half-Orc, he didn’t feel much anger anymore.
After all, there was no need to get angry with a muscle-headed fool.
Dealing with such a situation required a good beating.
Daro had yet to realize that he was about to receive a beating when he saw Ji Chen’s indifferent expression, and he thought that Ji Chen was afraid.
His expression grew even more smug and arrogant as he provocatively taunted.
“Human, are you afraid to fight strong Daro? After all, humans can t match our Half-Orcs in cunning and deceit. 1 don’t know why Irona wants us to submit to you. If it weren’t for the promise of food here, I wouldn’t waste my time coming here…”
“Daro, shut up!” Irona said with a trembling voice.
She saw that the little girl who had beaten up the Toothwood Tribe was already looking unfriendly.
Not only her, but the beautiful mermaid-like girl with fins on her ears, the fish people exuding strange power, and the large group of soldiers behind them all had killing intent in their eyes when they looked at Daro.
Since Ji Chen himself didn’t have combat prowess, his subordinates could give Daro a good beating!
If they really angered Ji Chen, their chance to join the Crown of the Ocean might be ruined!
Daro, however, seemed completely unconcerned and continued nonchalantly, “He he, I shouldn’t have wasted my time coming here today. It would have been better to kill a few more enemies…”
Suddenly, Daro felt a tremendous pressure emanating from Ji Chen.
He felt a darkness descending upon him, and rhe pressure was like a massive mountain, coming down from the sky and casting a huge shadow.
Thud
Daro was forced to kneel on the ground, his face filled with terror.
Because he saw Ji Chen in front of him, towering like a giant that connected heaven and earth.
Looking up, he saw a group of deep, divine-like eyes gazing at him, seemingly seeing through everything about his physical and spiritual being.
The more he was stared at, the more frightened and terrified Daro became.
He couldn’t even utter a word and could only cower on the ground, trembling like a little chick.
At this point, all disrespectful thoughts had vanished from Daro’s mind. He just hoped that this nightmare would end quickly.
After what felt like a long time, Daro felt the surroundings gradually brightening, causing him to startle and prop himself up.
“I’m willing to submit, ah ah ah -”
Without changing his expression, Ji Chen used a tentacle made of condensed water to wrap around Daro’s legs and swung him forcefully into rhe air.
Like an astronaut, he had left the cabin and was in good condition.
Like a tennis ball hit with great force, Daro flew through the air.
When he reached the highest point reached by inertia, he began free-failing, crying out more miserably as the sea surface approached.
Just before the impact with the sea, the tentacle wrapped around Daro again, and with a forceful swing, he was sent back into the sky.
The sequence continued indefinitely with a pattern of descent, ascent, descent, and ascent, repeating in a continuous cycle.
Seeing Daro constantly ascending and descending in the air, and hearing his pitiful and mournful cries, everyone present gasped in horror, feeling chills in their hearts.
Looking at Ji Chen, who remained unfazed, they couldn’t help but gulp nervously.
They would rather be killed instantly with a single slash than be tortured like this!!
Eventually, Daro stopped making any sound and was returned to the ground.
Ji Chen looked at Daro, whose eyes were now turning white, foaming at the mouth, lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, and was somewhat surprised.
“His vitality is surprisingly tenacious. It seems I can play a little more.”
Hearing these words, Daro, who was pretending to be dead, instantly jumped up and kneeled down, his face filled with terror and pleading.
“Sir, my lord, no, father! 1 know 1 was wrong. Please spare my life!!”
“As long as you tell me to go east, I’ll go east, and if you order me to go west, I’ll go there too. I will always be loyal to you!1”
Seeing Daro, with tears and snot streaming down his face, looking completely different from his previous arrogant self, Ji Chen smiled.
“Didn’t you say coming here was a waste of time?”
“No, no, no! Meeting you is the greatest honor of my life!”
“Didn’t you say humans only know how to use cunning tricks?”
“That’s impossible. For example, you, my lord, are one of rhe strong ones!”
“Stronger than strong Daro?”
“Yes, yes!” Daro nodded frantically like a chick pecking at seeds, his face filled with the desire to survive.
Ji Chen gave it a deep look and ignored it, then turned to the other half-orcs, speaking coldly.
“Does anyone else have objections?”
They all knelt down, their expressions a mix of fear and excitement. Half-orcs revered and admired the strong, so when they saw even the most powerful among them, Daro, submit, they naturally had no objections.
Irona watched this scene with complex emotions. She hadn’t expected that Lord Ji Chen would be such a powerful spellcaster, able to make Daro kneel with just his pressure, without any resistance.
Even though the pressure wasn’t directed at her just now, she still felt a shiver down her spine.
At this moment, Irona saw Ji Chen turn back and walk towards her. He looked deeply into her eyes and spoke slowly.
“After joining the Crown of the Ocean, you are no longer called tribes; you will be known as half-orcs.”
Upon hearing this, Irona’s face showed a touch of bitterness, nodding reluctantly.
At this point, they had no bargaining power left. In rhe face of absolute strength, everything appeared pale and powerless..
