Chapter 409 No Choice (Please subscribe, read, comment on monthly tickets)
Arthur opened his eyes, and the strange phenomenon covering the entire sea slowly receded.

Klassen shook his body and slowly stretched his huge body, which was several kilometers long, towards Arthur, as if to congratulate the new king.

But Arthur, who successfully got the trident, was not very happy. Instead, his face became more worried. Anyone with a little common sense could tell that he was very unhappy at the moment.

Klassen didn't know what was wrong with the new master, so he didn't dare to approach him, but he also didn't dare to retreat.

"Everyone, please make way!"

When Klassen hesitated, he suddenly felt someone patting his body. Then he noticed the person who was traveling with Arthur and quickly made way for him.

"What about you? The problem has been solved successfully, who are you still looking down on?"

Martin stood in front of Arthur, looking at his sad face, feeling helpless.

Arthur sighed and told all the news he had learned from Atlantean: "How could I be happy knowing that Apocalypse was going to attack the Earth?"

After listening to his explanation, Martin did not forgive him. Instead, he had a question mark on his face: "I accompanied you and Diana on this trip, wasn't it just to resist the invasion of outer space? You didn't take what I said seriously at all."

"I certainly don't think so."

Arthur waved his hands in panic and denied it: "But before this, the invasion from outer space was only a possibility. Although it is very likely, it is also possible that it will not happen. But now I know that this thing will definitely come true. Atlantis is like this. I really have no idea."

"After all, what you're worried about is not the invasion of Apokolips, but Atlantis."

Martin saw through his worries at a glance.

"You yourself said that whether Paradise Island and Atlantis can be integrated into human society is the focus of our work. But..."

Arthur was really confused. He was eager to change the appearance of the seabed, but he didn't know where to start.

"There's nothing to worry about. There's no conflict between Apocalypse's invasion and the Alliance's plan. We can't control the enemy's invasion, so we just have to do our own thing."

Martin is actually not afraid of Darkseid, the leader of the New Gods, he is not invincible.

The real trouble is the army of Apokolips. The Justice League can defeat Darkseid, but it is questionable whether the military force on Earth can resist the demon-like army.

Apocalypse is an interstellar civilization after all. Although the new gods leading them are not much more powerful than the old gods, their space battleships are by no means vegetarian. If they launch an attack from outer space, the existing military forces of the Earth will be unable to resist at all.

Even if the Justice League has a group of superhumans, it is impossible to stop all attacks.

But this kind of thing is obviously not suitable to be said when cheering someone up, so Martin turned the conversation back to Atlantis.

“Given the current situation, it is almost impossible for us to find an ally willing to perform major surgery within Atalantis.

The Fishermen's Kingdom has a mentality of being content with a small fortune. As long as Atlantis slows down the pace of centralization, they will not take any resistance.

The Saltwater Kingdom has always been excluded by Atlantis. Even if it means death, they will resist to the end, but their technological level is difficult to evaluate.

Therefore, the breakthrough point may still lie in the Kingdom of Zebel."

"The Kingdom of Zebel?"

Arthur sat cross-legged on the ground, with the golden trident on his knees, and was very surprised to hear Martin's analysis.

"I have also met Nereus once. He is a typical opportunist and very cunning. How could he possibly cooperate with us?"

Martin shook his head. "I'm not asking Nereus to cooperate with us. I'm asking him not to cooperate with Atlantis. As long as these two underwater powers don't unite, it will be a dream for Atlantis to restore itself as an empire."

"Only in this situation can you make your voice heard. By the way, do you remember Nereus' daughter?"

Arthur tried hard to recall, but all he could think of was a head of bright red hair.

"I don't have any impression. What do you want to do with this princess?"

"Princess Mera is also a heroine. Although she is the daughter of Nereus, she believes in your mother's ideals. You can try to talk to her and strive for her cooperation."

Martin carefully recalled the information on the seabed and wanted to make a more complete plan for Arthur.

The situation on the seabed is too complicated. Martin cannot stay by his side to offer advice, and the alliance cannot intervene openly.

In other words, it is extremely difficult for Arthur to face these complex problems alone.

"Is this trident ineffective?"

Arthur thought about what he was about to face and raised the trident, hoping that it would play the same role as in the legend.

"If you go to war with Orm directly and are willing to accept the position of king, this trident can indeed play an authoritative role."

"Forget it, I don't want to deal with people like Om, let them die!"

Arthur cursed in venting his anger, knowing that Martin was trying his best to think for himself and didn't want to trouble him any more.

"Anyway, thank you for accompanying me on this trip today."

"That's not the case. I just regret that the Nautilus submarine didn't play a bigger role. But it's good this way. It's always a good thing if no one dies."

Martin stood up, now it was time to leave.

"By the way, if you don't mind, when you go see Atlanna, ask for the Mother Box. I don't think Atlantis will send troops to protect this important item for a long time. After all, now that there are two kings, they will be busy for a while."

Of the three mother boxes left on Earth by Apocalypse, the one protected by humans was torn apart by the human kings at the cost of their own souls and future.

This means that even if the advance forces of Apokolips find the three Mother Boxes, they will not be able to use these things to directly transform the Earth.

But they were still able to travel across space to Earth through the Mother Box.

"To be honest, it wouldn't be a bad thing if all the troops from Apocalypse came to Earth through the Mother Box. Fighting in the sky, land, and ocean is better than facing spaceships in the universe directly."

"I think it's OK. Atlantis never mentioned the War of the Ancients, and few people know what the Mother Box is. Even if they don't agree, it doesn't matter if they just snatch it away."

Arthur jumped a few times and soon got into a state of making trouble, with no intention of giving Atlantis any face at all.

"That's normal. After all, the Atlanteans are not immortal like the Amazons. It's normal for them to forget a war that happened ten thousand years ago."

This incident made Martin realize the importance of intervening in the seabed. Otherwise, when Apocalypse attacks, the people of Atlantis may not know what happened.

"You don't have to rob it. The people guarding the Mother Box don't know what it is. You can just make an imitation iron box and replace it. Anyway, you have the Trident of Atlantis in your hand. You don't have the authority to use it on Atlantis now, but it will definitely be useful to the old thing." "You think too much!"

Arthur gave Martin a thumbs up and began to think silently about what he should do.

The two of them stood on Krasen's head, and Arthur raised his trident. The sea monster began to climb upwards, raised its two large claws, and with a click, it tore open the land covering the tomb and came into the ocean surrounding the island.

The light from this special subspace poured down from the sky, making Martin and Arthur feel a little blinded.

Krasen, who had guarded Atlanta for thousands of years, looked at the completely different environment. The huge tentacles under his body began to wave in the sea, raising waves, but to him it was just playing and he didn't even try his best.

Arthur said to him, "Martin and I are going to meet some friends. When you have had enough fun, open the way to the outside world and we will leave the place together."

"rest assured."

Klassen agreed immediately and began to swim up and down in the water, swimming towards the island, scaring all the creatures in the sea and making them flee in all directions, flying around like headless flies.

When he got close to the shore, he extended his tentacles again and placed them on the beach, forming a bridge.

Martin and Arthur slid down his tentacles and saw Orm coming to the shore with his soldiers and contacting the outside fleet.

Arthur clenched the trident in his hand and was about to attack them to eliminate the trouble, but was stopped by Martin.

"Why are you stopping me? If there is no Apocalypse invasion, it doesn't matter if I spare him. But now, I can't let him cause trouble."

Arthur didn't listen to Martin's advice and looked at Orm with his eyes almost spitting fire.

Martin grabbed his arm tightly and persuaded him: "If this guy doesn't cause trouble, I won't keep him. I understand your idea, but there is no point in killing him. The officers under his command will not become peace-loving. They will only hide themselves and become more difficult to deal with."

Arthur understood what Martin meant, but she just felt unwilling to accept it: "That guy got away with it."

"It's not cheap at all. As long as you work hard, he will suffer failures in his life. Wouldn't that make him feel more painful than killing him?"

Martin always liked to punish his enemies in this way, especially his political opponents.

With Orm's successive failures and the return of Atlanna, this guy has little chance of turning things around from within unless he gets external support.

This outside does not refer to other countries under the sea, but the forces on land.

He said this to Arthur: "No matter which path Orm chooses, the unified Atlantis Empire he expected has become history and will never appear again."

"Does Orm know about these things?"

Arthur glanced at Orm and his soldiers, noticing their fierce stares at him, but feeling nothing special.

"He will know sooner or later, and maybe he doesn't want to know. But what does it have to do with us? I don't care about his feelings, I only care about his results."

Martin pulled Arthur and continued walking into the island, and soon saw Atlanna and Vicco.

Atlanna looked at the trident in Arthur's hand with a look of relief on her face. She hugged her son directly and the mother and son began to talk.

Vico had a complicated expression and wanted to say something, but Atlanna was only concerned about her eldest son and didn't want to mention anything about Atlantis.

As a guard, he naturally couldn't say anything, but when he saw Martin standing beside him, he quickly walked up to him and extended his hand.

"My name is Vico. I wonder if Arthur has mentioned me to you?"

"Arthur often mentioned to me what you taught him, saying that you were a good teacher who influenced his life."

Martin knew that Vico was trying to test him, but he did not refuse. He stated his name openly and did not go into further details.

"I'm not as good as Arthur said. After more than ten years of hard work, I still don't know what the child wants."

Vico felt something in his heart. Looking at Arthur, who was like an iron tower, he felt endless sighs in his heart.

"Anyway, it's not the throne of Atlantis. As for the rest, it depends on what Arthur can do."

Martin didn't want to have a complete falling out with Vico, but he also didn't want him to misunderstand anything.

After hearing this, Vicco turned his head and stared at Martin, asking in a low voice: "What exactly do you want to do? Queen Atlanna has returned now, and Atlantis will soon be back on track. If you do this, it will only make things worse."

Martin also turned his head to look at the captain of the guards. Seeing his eyes widened with anger, he smiled and said, "This is what Atlantis wants, but what about the other three kingdoms? Do they also want to live a life where they obey Atlantis in everything? Do you have the confidence to lead the seabed to deal with all the troubles?"

"What do you mean?"

Although Vico was angry, he did not lose his temper and soon realized that there was something else behind Martin's words.

"Do you know Apocalypse?"

Martin's name left Vico confused. He felt that he had heard this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

"My purpose and the purpose of the alliance are hidden in this name. Mr. Vico does not need to guess blindly. Just find this name in Artaris's collection of books, and everything will be clear."

Martin was not being mysterious, but even if he told the other party that Apocalypse was going to invade, he would be considered as playing tricks.

Rather than being misunderstood, it is better to let him investigate on his own. Reason will allow the captain of the guard to make a judgment that best suits his position.

More importantly, the other party will not continue to bother him here.

"Vico, hand me and him over to Arthur's custody when we return."

The mother-son conversation between Atlanna and Arthur ended.

It seems that Arthur convinced his mother, and Vico subconsciously agreed to the queen's order, but he did not think of the relationship between the two.

The incident on Apokolips happened so long ago that even the Amazons relaxed their supervision of the Mother Box, let alone the Atlanteans.

"Goodbye, Mom! I will tell Dad that you are still alive."

After all, Arthur was unwilling to go back to Atlantis with Atlanna, so they had to part ways here.
