The Yan Tribe was not a profit-driven race; it was a bloodthirsty one.
This race revered the might of the strong but held even greater respect for tradition and loyalty.
Thus when Yan Mo abandoned his kin to flee, especially by only taking his fleet, he had already lost the legitimacy of the Yan King.
Had Suo Lun and Hai Gang not swiftly surrounded Thunder Archipelago, the surviving Island Masters and elders would have already started to impeach Yan Mo. Well, perhaps the word impeach is too highfalutin.
In any case, had it not been for the enemy at the gates, Yan Mo's throne would have already been unstable.
It was precisely because of the formidable enemy they faced that the surviving Rock Pirates and Yan civilians continued to unite around Yan Mo, preparing to fight to the death against the enemy.
Neither the Yan civilians nor the Rock Pirates ever feared death; they were never daunted by battle.
But Suo Lun didn't attack; he simply blockaded and laid siege.
