Chapter 400 What is he doing? (Please subscribe, read, and comment on the monthly ticket)
"Nautilus, this is Captain, have you noticed anything?"

Martin picked up the radio to contact the Nautilus and asked them to pay attention to the sudden light on the seabed.

These lights did not disappear. Instead, they kept flashing at a fixed frequency on the seabed. The light pierced through the darkness of the seabed like a sharp sword, and at the same time stimulated Martin's sensitive nerves.

"Captain, we have only detected signals of a large number of objects moving. The speed of movement is very fast, but the number is large. The strong light you mentioned seems to be a symbol of some kind of energy explosion. We can observe the light shining from the seabed on the ship, but the detector cannot identify the frequency of the light."

"Relay the data on that energy reading and prepare for combat. The first officer and I will continue the dive."

As soon as Martin finished speaking, segments of data popped up on the tube screen.

The communication method used by the Nautilus and the mainstream of human society may not be suitable for large-scale promotion, but it is extremely suitable for use on this submarine.

"This energy was emitted when the Atlantis warship fired. The crew of the Nautilus couldn't identify it because the Atlanteans were using seawater energy, which easily mixed with the flow of the ocean, making it difficult for detection instruments to detect it."

Arthur stared at the screen, watched a complete frequency, and gave the answer.

"Looking at the speed of these frequencies, it's definitely not just one or two Atlantis ships that have arrived in this sea area, but a complete fleet."

He frowned, surprised by the sudden appearance of the Atlantean fleet. At this time, he used his life force and discovered a large number of Atlantean life signals, especially those of Om.

Arthur had a deep memory of his half-brother and could never forget him.

Although Martin was surprised, he quickly reacted: "As you said before, Orm's situation is very bad. The Darkness's plan to reorganize the Atlantis Empire was forcibly interrupted by us, and even many opposition groups emerged in the country.

But it is normal for you, my half brother, to come here to look for the lost Trident of the Sea King and to use it to reestablish your authority."

Although the situation was normal, the two parties happened to meet each other, and Martin was probably affected by himself.

After all, the most indispensable thing for a captain during his adventure is enemies.

"How did Orm know that the Trident of the Sea King was in this place?"

Arthur didn't care that the trident might be stolen, he just felt bad about meeting someone from Atlantis.

"Although the trident is a legend, the main reason why this legend is mysterious is that people are unwilling to invest resources to crack it. If Om is determined, it will not be difficult for him to crack the mystery of ten thousand years ago with the resources he has."

Martin drove the small submarine further to the bottom of the sea, not caring why Orm came there.

He said to Arthur: "After the last attack, Orm hates you to the core, and wants to keep his power. He will definitely use all means to get the trident. And the place where the trident is hidden is also where your mother lives.

At that time, you two brothers will inevitably have a life-and-death struggle in front of Atlanna. There is no love between you and Orm, so naturally you don't care about fighting for life and death. But it's hard to say how your mother feels. "

"There is nothing to be afraid of if something is destined to happen."

Arthur didn't care about this at all. Although he was conflicted, he couldn't tell why.

Martin saw Arthur suddenly start to act foolishly and reminded him, "Are you stupid? You killed Orm in front of Atlanna. How can the queen still have the heart to rule Atlantis? If your mother doesn't take over the vacant throne, you will sit on it and have to deal with the complex factions in Atlantis."

"You'd better think clearly about which result you least want. Only after the close combat will you know what to do."

Martin is always so clear-headed, and he helps Arthur to wake up from his entanglement with Atlanna.

As the submarine slowly descended and the Atlantis fleet was nowhere to be seen for a while, Arthur spoke out his true feelings: "Ever since I knew my mother was exiled to the Trench Tribe, I have imagined countless times how to take revenge on those underwater people.

This thought gradually disappeared as I started to rescue people at sea. Because I knew that I didn’t want to have anything to do with Atlantis again in my life. Rescuing people at sea occasionally and spending the rest of my life with my father was the best outcome.”

"But now, with my mother so close, my hatred for Atlantis has not diminished in the slightest. Instead, my desire to destroy this country is stronger than every midnight dream I had before."

"Om and his father want to use war to turn Atlantis into the sole empire under the sea, but I won't let them have their way. I must push through your plan. Let Om watch his fantasies go to waste, and all his pursuits in life become meaningless."

Arthur became more and more excited as he spoke, and his face, which looked a little reckless because of his beard, became even more ferocious.

Martin quickly grabbed his fist and tried to dissuade him, "You may be excited, but don't do anything rash! If you break the equipment inside, I will be killed by the sea water."

"oh oh!"

Arthur gradually calmed down after hearing Martin's voice. Thinking about his crazy behavior just now, he subconsciously asked, "Am I too paranoid and crazy to do this?"

"Stop imagining this. If a person is not paranoid and crazy, is he still a human being? It's normal for you to have such thoughts. Destroying Om's dream of an empire can be considered justice. You can't let the land and the sea go to war just because of the selfish desires of that father and son, right?"

Martin didn't think it was a big deal that Arthur killed Orm.

But who can blame Atlanna, the mother, for being the only one who can stabilize the situation in Atlantis?

If Arthur didn't want to get involved in the factional struggles in Atlantis, he had to consider Atlanna's thoughts.

In this matter, Martin was only concerned about cold calculations of interests, and he was completely different from how he was on Paradise Island, where he cared about Hippolyta as a mother.

He said to Arthur, "I'm not advising you to let Orm go, but you're exaggerating. Turn your personal feud with Orm into a struggle between the underwater people for war or peace. If necessary, you can start a war, a controllable war to eliminate the uncontrollable war between land and sea."

Arthur's hands couldn't help shaking when he thought of that scene: "How many underwater people will be buried in such a war?"

"Why don't you think about it? If there hadn't been this war, how many people would have died in the war between land and sea?"

Martin really didn't want to play this kind of numbers game, so he said directly: "Even if a war breaks out, the responsibility is not ours. If Orm really cares about Atlantis, why can't he humble himself and accept our proposal?"

To put it bluntly, this is a conflict of positions, and the price to pay is the complete demise of one side.

This is the measure taken by Martin, which is gentler than war. He wants to use the alliance to gradually reduce Atlantis' desire for war.

Of course, as a king, Orm could not understand such gentleness. The world he knew was just two words: "violence".

Even if Arthur wanted to let him go, this guy would never repent and give in for the sake of ordinary underwater people.

What's more, Arthur now has no feelings for this so-called brother, and his mind is full of thoughts about how to plot against him.

"Are we two too arrogant? We only have one ship, but now we are thinking about how to overthrow the entire Atlantis."

Arthur couldn't help but shake his head and laugh at the thought of both of them.

"Arrogant? I don't think so. Your brother is not a special enemy and is easy to deal with." Martin said this calmly, leaving Arthur with no way to refute.

This man just killed a god of war yesterday and forced back five main gods. In comparison, Atlantis is indeed not that special.

"There's some movement!"

As the two chatted, they met the real Trench Tribe.

They gather in groups, at least hundreds of them, and swim continuously in the sea.

As soon as the submarine driven by Martin and his crew appeared, these creatures were attracted by the lights in the building's first hall and quickly surrounded it.

These trench creatures moved very quickly, pushed by the sea water, and surrounded the submarine in almost the blink of an eye. They stretched out their sharp claws, trying to tear apart the unknown creature that had broken into their territory.

"It's your turn!"

Martin calmly pushed Arthur and asked him to take action.

"what--"

Arthur rubbed his hands nervously, blew a breath of hot air into his palms, then stretched them forward. Invisible waves spread outward. The aggressive Trench Tribe members instantly stopped in place and swam slowly, completely losing their ferocious momentum.

"Everyone dispersed, just pretend you didn't see us."

Arthur waved his hand, and the Trench Clan dispersed, leaving only one standing in front of the submarine, waiting for him and Martin to observe.

The Trench People still maintain their human form, but have grown fins on their hands, feet and backs in order to move faster on the seabed. Their heads are flattened by the pressure of the sea water, and their eyes are bulging but have very small pupils.

The whole body is covered with dense scales, and organs similar to fish gills grow on both sides of the neck, but the nose has not disappeared.

It has a big mouth full of sharp teeth, a pair of claws with long and sharp nails, and its feet are more like frog webbed feet.

"This tribe is completely hopeless. When I control dolphins and whales, I can still vaguely sense their consciousness, but with these beasts, there's nothing. It's as easy as controlling my own hands and feet."

Arthur looked at the grinning Trench Tribe and shook his head regretfully. After getting Martin's permission, he drove these creatures away.

"Although I don't know what the Trench Tribe looked like in the past, it's really sad to see them become such beasts."

“There is nothing to be sentimental about. Working hard to create a better future is the greatest salvation for the past.”

After Martin confirmed the situation of these trench people, he lost interest in this kind of thing.

In front, Arthur can control marine life, and the weapons on the Nautilus are not edible. It may not be possible to engage with them, but breaking through their encirclement will definitely be no problem.

What's more, there was an Atlantis army ahead clearing the way for them.

"Nautilus, there is an Atlantis fleet fighting with the Trench Clan deep in the sea. Start diving and be careful to hide yourself so as not to be discovered by the Atlantis fleet."

"Roger that!"

The crew of the Nautilus took action upon receiving Martin's message.

Arthur asked in surprise: "Why did you let the Nautilus dive? The Atlantis fleet is no joke. It's easy for the two of us to deal with them, but it will be difficult if we add the Nautilus."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure of! The Nautilus won't have any trouble diving, because Omu will focus all his attention on you instead of caring about a human submarine."

Arthur rolled his eyes. Martin was just using him as bait.

"This is too inhumane. As a member of the Justice League, I demand that you give me adequate treatment and protection."

"Okay! Write a report and I'll follow up on it right away."

Martin said lightly, and Arthur simply raised his middle finger to him.

"I didn't realize that you have such a bureaucratic side."

"There are so many things you haven't discovered yet. Now stop talking nonsense. I have seen the fleet of Atlantis."

Martin pointed at the screen, and Arthur immediately became serious. He could see more clearly than Martin through the eyes of the Trench Tribe.

Atlantis' fleet is divided into levels according to the size of fish in the deep sea, from the largest whale-type battleships to small harassment ships such as tuna.

According to Atlantis's organization, a fleet must have a whale-type attack platform, two killer whale-type cruisers, three to five shark or dolphin-type mixed destroyers, as well as an octopus-type frigate and a blue whale-type supply ship, etc.

Roughly speaking, there are more than ten large ships, among which there are countless small ships and Atlantis soldiers. The weapons equipped by the main fleet are also the best.

"Is there something wrong with this Om's brain? With such a main fleet in hand, why can't he just crush them directly? Why would he get entangled with a group of beasts like the Trench Tribe?"

Before Martin dived, he was prepared to see a massacre, but when he got close to the edge of the battlefield, he found that the fleet led by Orm was moving slowly.

This huge fleet could turn the sea upside down with firepower alone, but now it was surrounded by the Trench Tribe who were like ants. Every ship was stuck to the hull by the Trench Tribe, even covering up the blue and white shape that the Atlanteans loved most.

The ships fired at full speed, and each shot was able to plow a channel through the Trench Tribe, but a moment later these channels were blocked again by the swarming Trench Tribe.

Several logistics vessels such as supply ships lacked firepower and could only send soldiers to try to clear a path to approach the main ships.

But as soon as those soldiers left the ship, they were besieged by the Trench Tribe. Their sharp teeth and claws tore through the Atlanteans' armor and devoured them in an instant.

"Could something have gone wrong? Although Om is cruel, he is not stupid. He shouldn't do such a stupid thing, right?"

Arthur was more worried about his whereabouts being exposed, and Orm did this to lure him into the trap.

"I can't read minds, and I can't predict every move of the other party. What's more, this is an entire fleet, not just one person."
