In the solemn and majestic gaze of David, the Amazon tribe chose to submit to the promise and accept him as their new king, kneeling down on one knee.

“The Amazon tribe never lies, never breaks their word!”

Hippolyta and the others acted on this statement, even if they were unwilling, they still chose to submit to the new king, much to their shock, gritting their teeth as they bowed their heads.

For thousands of years, the paradise island, which had always been inhabited by women, now had a man, and not just any man, but the king of the Amazon tribe.

“I know that even if I have achieved a feat greater than Hercules, you are still not willing to submit to me willingly.”

Seated on the throne, David smiled.

“You, who almost became slaves, have always longed for freedom.

…” His face showed a thoughtful expression.

As he delivered his coronation speech, the Amazonians looked at him with hope, thinking that David would set a time limit for his reign, or give them a glimmer of hope, such as allowing the Amazon tribe to leave the paradise island if they had a strong enough warrior to defeat him.

However, David’s next words revealed a sinister smile: “But it doesn’t matter, I don’t really need your hearts.

As long as your bodies obey my commands, that’s all I need.”

The Amazon tribe was almost faint with anger, glaring at him, suspecting his intentions.

“Now, I issue my first decree as king – from today, you must begin practicing dance. Each of you Amazonians has a tall and well-proportioned figure, with long legs, it would be a waste not to use them for dancing.”

David, seated on the throne, spoke with a complete air of a tyrant.

“Dance?”

When the Amazon tribe heard this, it was so absurd that they even suspected they were hearing things, and they all opposed it.

They, the Amazon tribe, were born warriors, each one surpassing the fiercest beasts in the world. Children as young as seven or eight could fight lions and tigers, and when they grew up, they could tear steel apart with their bare hands. They had always been fierce and valiant, and even lying was a disgrace to them.

But now, David was asking them to abandon their bows and swords from tomorrow and start practicing dance.

“I protest! The strength that the gods have given us Amazonians is not meant to be used to please others like palace dancers!”

At that moment, Diana in the palace was also stunned.

“Dance…dance?”

She didn’t expect David’s first decree to be this. Not only her, but Hippolyta and the female general Antiope were also taken aback.

A man who had defeated them with great effort, conquered the paradise island by killing a deity, and his first command was to watch the Amazonians dance?

“It seems that the Amazon tribe does not really keep their promises as they claim.”

Looking at the boiling resentment below, David sighed as if he were mocking them.

“Who said that!”

“It’s a fact.

I didn’t issue a law like the ancient Roman tyrant Caligula, nor did I make you wage war like Ares, risking your lives to conquer the world for me.

My first royal decree is simply for you to learn to dance, and yet you all refuse to obey.”

“…”

Their character was being questioned, and the Amazonians were not only angry, but also hesitant, feeling that they were being too harsh on the new king.

They had just declared him their king, and now they were resisting a simple command from him.

If David were to launch a massacre against them, or treat them as slaves, or do something outrageous, they would resist and even overthrow him.

It would be understandable if it were something serious, but if it was just dancing…

“Our king, have you conquered the Amazon tribe created by the gods just to make us dance?”

Hippolyta couldn’t understand, her face stiff.

The suspicion of something beyond reason made her wonder if there was some conspiracy behind it.

“Then what?”

Faced with suspicion, David countered with a question.

“I have finally defeated the Amazon tribe, fought a battle with the god of war, killed him, and become the king. Can’t I enjoy myself?”

“…”

It seemed to make sense, but there was always something that didn’t quite add up.

It felt like conquering Rome with a million troops just to get them to pay tribute with raisins.

To practice dancing like palace dancers to please the new king was something the naturally born warriors of the Amazon tribe resisted, almost feeling ashamed.

But it hadn’t reached the point where they felt they would rather die than resist.

They had no choice but to start following the king’s command, leaving behind their fierce horses and bows, and putting on the awkward white gauze skirts, stockings, and dance shoes, stumbling as they began to practice dancing.

Everything needed for learning and practicing dance had already been ordered by David on his way back.

“Not bad.”

At this moment, as the music played to the end, David nodded and applauded.

“In a few years, it might just be passable.”

Inside the palace, the Amazonian warriors, with awkward movements, had turned the graceful and slightly melancholic ballet Swan Lake into a tense and swift war dance.

The same was true in the courtyard outside.

“The swans you portray could easily peck a lion to death one by one.”

Upon hearing these words, the people turned red with anger, feeling extremely embarrassed, and harboring deep resentment towards David.

“Except for you, Diana, you’re barely acceptable.”

David pointed to Diana, giving his honest assessment.

Diana learned to dance very quickly, unlike the Amazon tribe, who seemed to be naturally averse to dancing. Her attitude was very earnest, and she was diligently following his royal decree in her practice. Her dance already had a touch of elegance and pride, resembling a graceful swan.

“Zeus should be proud, at least the bloodline is excellent, producing many beautiful and intelligent descendants,” he sighed.

Receiving praise in public and feeling the eyes of the people on her, Diana smiled bitterly, unable to feel any joy.

She now even hoped that David would quickly reveal some ambition or evil plot that the Amazon tribe could not accept, so that she could escape her current life.

David was very clear that making the Amazon tribe dance, especially learning ballet, was simply worse than killing them.But that was exactly what he wanted.

The Amazons were now filled with a deep, unspoken resentment. If looks could kill, he, the new king, would have been nailed to his throne long ago.

However, such matters were trivial. Compared to the tyrants known for their debauchery, cruelty, and inhumanity, the Amazons had no reason to rebel, let alone revolt. They had no choice but to continue obeying orders.

In the following month, the dance skills of the Amazon tribe hardly improved, remaining a pitiful sight to behold.

This made David wonder if Zeus and the other gods had truly maxed out the warrior talents of the Amazon race when creating them, completely neglecting other aspects.

Nevertheless, in comparison, his progress in integrating the template was advancing by leaps and bounds!
