Genshin Impact: What? The one we need to save is Fukaros

"Lord Coral Palace, I don't want to see the sea people sacrifice their lives in vain anymore." Wu Lang said solemnly, "The West Factory has given us very harsh conditions for Haizhi Island, but he has guaranteed that we will be free from famine."

Coral Palace Xinhai took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, and asked, "What are the strict conditions?"

Goro replied in a deep voice: "The first condition is that we must disband the resistance forces on Kaijima Island and only retain a small-scale guard team to maintain law and order."

As soon as these words came out, Coral Palace Xinhai's brows immediately furrowed.

Once the army is disbanded, the entire Kaizhi Island will be like a lamb to be slaughtered, powerless to resist.

She asked worriedly, "If we disband the army, how can we ensure the safety of Kaiji Island?"

Wu Lang replied with mixed emotions: "Ide mentioned that the West Factory will send a team of guards to stay on the island to ensure the safety of Haizhi Island."

Coral Palace Xinhai's expression turned very ugly.

This so-called "protection" was actually nothing more than Xichang's control and surveillance of Haizhi Island in order to maintain its hegemony there.

If Kaijima accepted such conditions, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to becoming a "vassal" of Fontainebleau.

Coral Palace Xinhai continued to ask: "Besides these, do they have any other requests?"

Goro continued, "The foreign trade of Kaiji Island will be fully taken over by the Funina Foundation, and we are forbidden to trade with other merchants."

Coral Palace knew clearly that this condition actually meant handing over the economic power of Haizhi Island.

However, considering that Haizhi Island currently has almost no foreign trade, this clause is relatively acceptable.

After a moment of contemplation, she asked the question that concerned her most, “What does Yid require of our faith?”

"There are no specific requirements," Wu Lang replied. "Although the West Factory believes in Fukalos, the water god, one of the seven rulers of the world, they respect all kinds of beliefs. As long as they don't believe in evil gods, they are open to the belief in other gods."

After listening to Goro's narration, Coral Palace Xinhai fell into deep thought.

As a present-day priestess, she shoulders two major responsibilities: one is to protect the people of Kaiji Island and ensure their safety and well-being; the other is to maintain the faith of the great sea god Orobas.

In comparison, the sovereignty issue of Haizhi Island does not seem to be the most critical to some extent.

After all, before, Kaijima was actually equivalent to a vassal state of Inazuma.

.............

Three days later, the sun was shining brightly, the sea breeze was blowing gently, and the Haizhi Island delegation represented by Coral Palace Xinhai boarded the Fontaine ship.

Lin Yide took the initiative to step forward to greet them, which made them feel a little comforted and no longer so resistant to the upcoming surrender.

Under the guidance of Lin Yide, both parties entered the solemn conference room.

Afterwards, the two parties sat down at a rectangular negotiating table and started a round of negotiations.

Representatives from both sides sat on both sides of the rectangular negotiation table.

The West Factory side is represented by Lin Yide and Chiori, while the Kaijima side is represented by Coral Palace Xinhai and Goro.

The four of them sat facing each other.

The first to speak was Coral Palace Xinhai, "Boss Yide, the conditions you proposed are indeed quite harsh. It is not easy for us in Haizhi Island to accept these conditions."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qianzhi threatened in a tough tone: "We have already given very generous conditions. If you don't cherish this opportunity, then the cannons of Fontaine will 'convince' you to accept it!"

Coral Palace Xinhai did not flinch. She responded with a sonorous and powerful voice: "We, the people of Haizhi Island, would rather choose a heroic destruction than succumb to the tyranny of the invaders! As long as there is still a Haizhi Islander among us, we will continue to resist to the end!"

At this moment, Lin Yide suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter echoed in the reception room, breaking the originally serious negotiation atmosphere and making the whole scene a little weird.

He said with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, I just suddenly thought of a very funny joke."

However, to Coral Palace Xinhai and Goro, this apology sounded more like sarcasm and ridicule.

Coral Palace remained calm. She said calmly, "Boss Yide, since you think this joke is so funny, could you share it with us?"

"Of course," Lin Yide smiled and began to narrate, "A few hundred years ago, there was a god who was forced to launch an aggressive war because his people suffered from famine. However, in the war, the god unfortunately fell, but his people survived."

At this point, he turned his gaze to the heart of the Coral Palace and asked, "Witch, what do you think of this story? Why didn't the people of that god show the same firmness as you people of Haizhi Island?"

Coral Palace Xinhai's face turned red instantly. She understood that the god Lin Yide was referring to was Orobath, whom they deeply believed in.

At that time, Oropus knew that he would die, but what made him determined to die was the request of the witch and the voice of his people.

After his death, General Raiden ceded a portion of the fertile land of Yagyu Island, present-day Fujiwa Fort, to Kaijima Island.

The people of Kaiji Island who survived did not seek revenge.

Now, if General Lei Dian's isolation order had not forced them to survive, they would not have raised the banner of rebellion.

The mention of this history is undoubtedly the most powerful refutation of the Coral Palace Heart Sea.

When the people of Haizhi Island were starving, talking about backbone seemed a little pale and powerless.

After a long time, Xinhai of the Coral Palace asked in a low voice: "I want to know, how do you ensure that the people of our Haizhi Island can have enough to eat?"

Lin Yide answered confidently: "Through trade. Although the land of Haizhi Island is barren, it has rich marine resources. These resources will become the source of food and clothing for the people of Haizhi Island."

Coral Palace Xinhai asked doubtfully: "Our fishermen have worked very hard, but the harvest is still limited."

Lin Yide laughed, "Don't use your backward thinking to judge us. For example, you can't imagine that a ship can use cannons to flatten nine formations in half an hour."

Finally, Coral Palace's heart was gloomy, "If you can guarantee the food and clothing of Haizhi Island, I will agree to all your conditions on behalf of Haizhi Island."

Lin Yide said in a relaxed tone: "You can rest assured. For us at Fontaine, solving the problem of food and clothing is just a simple matter." His tone revealed his confidence in Fontaine's technology and resources.

Afterwards, Coral Palace Xinhai and Lin Yide jointly signed the historic "Treaty of Port Fude".

When the news reached Haizhi Island, it was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The residents of Kaiji Island were furious. They felt that this was a symbol of surrender to foreign powers, and they flocked to the Coral Palace to loudly protest against what they considered a humiliating treaty.

However, when their eyes fell on the piles of bags of Fontaine aid rice in front of the Coral Palace, the voices of anger and protest gradually subsided.

They gradually let go of their sense of humiliation about the treaty and became more concerned about whether the mountains of rice could actually be distributed to them.

Faced with the reality of food and clothing, everything else seems less important.

The residents of Kaijima began to look forward to the rice being distributed as soon as possible to solve their current predicament.

Not all nations are as tenacious and unyielding as the Liyue people.
