Chapter 463: Beat Hard (Please subscribe, read, vote and comment)
"These damn barbarians didn't even flee in the face of Atlantis' great fleet. It was all because that damn bastard gave these barbarians the wrong ideas."

There are three generals in charge of the Atlantis field troops, corresponding to the interior of Atlantis, Zebel, the Fisherman Kingdom and the Salt Water Kingdom.

Among them, the army guarding the Salt Water Kingdom is the largest. The soldiers' equipment and military qualities vary greatly, but their numbers are large. Every year, a large number of Atlantis civilians join the border army due to the living environment and ideology.

Therefore, General Elland, who was in charge of the border army, was very unruly. Although he was a member of Orm's army, he often criticized his lord.

"Watch your words, General! His Highness Arthur is Atlanna's eldest son. He..."

Vico originally wanted to say that the Trident of Aquaman was in Arthur's hands and that he was theoretically the king of Atlantis, but in the current situation, this fact could not be said.

More importantly, the general clearly intended to cause trouble for Arthur.

Ever since Vico expressed his intention to negotiate with Arthur, Elland has been acting in a sarcastic manner. This was to protect Orm's status, but also to show his disdain for the people of the Saltwater Kingdom, as he felt that those barbarians could not cause any harm to the great Atlantis fleet.

Vicco also agreed with the other party's later idea, but still hoped that Arthur could take over Atlanna's position, so he deliberately concealed the information.

"General, it is Her Majesty the Queen's order to pacify the Saltwater Nation. If you act on your own now and something goes wrong, I will not take responsibility for you."

Vicco removed himself from the group ahead of time. Although he didn't know what Arthur had learned from the Justice League, he was sure that he was no longer the Arthur who didn't care about anything in the past.

"Hmph, perhaps Her Majesty the Queen has been away from Atlantis for too long. Our fleet is more than enough to wipe out any enemy. Please just watch from here!"

General Ellander did not have much respect for Atlanna because the queen had been working to limit the power of the generals since her disappearance, trying to control the power to launch and organize wars in the hands of the capital.

This is like cutting one's own flesh for the generals on the border.

He puffed out his chest and decided to show the queen with real combat results that the army was an immutable component of Atlantis.

"These brainless and reckless men will be forced to kneel in front of the palace to atone for their sins sooner or later!"

As a close minister of the king, Vico had always played the role of a think tank, and the position of captain of the Royal Guard was just a convenience.

Although he did a good job in the army, from a personal point of view, he could not stand the so-called "professionalism" in the army. That is, as long as you are not a member of the army, even the king cannot interfere with the army after the war breaks out.

In layman's terms, the army is the private domain of generals and officers, and no one else should have anything to do with it.

This is the kind of militarization that Martin is trying so hard to avoid.

"This General Elland is extremely ambitious and wants to wipe out the Saltwater Kingdom. After capturing me, he stripped me naked and threw me into the square of the Atlantis Royal City!"

Arthur held the trident in his hand and became more and more proficient in the use of life force. Even though there was a battlefield between them, the conversation between Vico and Elland did not escape his ears.

"They really don't know how high the sky is. Do these arrogant idiots really think that Atlantis is the whole world?"

Arthur didn't care about the insults Elrand hurled at him. He was called a motherless bastard since he was a child, and when he grew up he was called a mixed-race bastard.

Those little insults were less damaging to Arthur than the cold winter wind.

What really made him angry was that Elland was going to implement a thorough Three Alls Policy against the Saltwater Kingdom, and would not even let go of newborn babies.

"Then what else is there to say? Just do it!"

Martin was in command and had no intention of going to the front line, but Diana and Arthur were eager to try.

They were enraged by the atrocities Atlantis had committed and was about to commit, and the warrior blood in their bodies began to boil.

Arthur raised the trident high and smashed it on the ground. A faint wave passed through the sea water and swept across all the soldiers of the Saltwater Kingdom in the blink of an eye.

"Warriors, I am with you. For the sake of our homeland, raise your weapons, use your brains, and drive out these shameless invaders."

"For hatred, for justice, for survival!"

"For survival!"

The soldiers of the Salt Water Kingdom responded to their king's call, and their life force began to connect, control, and even showed a tendency to evolve.

The tribe, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately launched an attack. They extracted geothermal heat from the ground through stone-polished tools, and transformed it through runes on the stones into deadly weapons, which erupted upward from the bottom of the sea.

The seabed instantly became chaotic, the temperature soared, poison gas spread, and the converted geothermal energy rose, causing waves of whirlpools, disrupting the flow of the sea water and forming whirlpools of various sizes.

As a result of various factors combined, the fleets that wanted to rely on the ultra-high speed of their warships to launch an attack and cut off the rear of the Saltwater Kingdom’s army were delayed.

Although, three minutes later, the trapped fleets escaped the influence of the ocean currents through the force field of the battleships, a larger geothermal attack arrived.

The energy extracted from the ground dyed the dark seabed red. The Saltwater People, whose weapons and organizational methods were very simple, appeared. They stood in the red geothermal energy and surrounded the Atlantis warships.

"You ungrateful barbarian, I wanted to let you live a little longer. Since you are so eager to die, don't blame me!"

Elland's flagship also rushed to the front. According to past experience, they only needed to cut off the rear of the Saltwater Army, and the Saltwater Army, which seemed to have the upper hand in numbers and momentum, would collapse.

At this time, the Atlantis fleet did not even need to start the engine, it was enough to use naval guns to bombard the soldiers who tried to find their own shortcomings.

"That guy named Arthur, even though he's a bastard, he still has royal blood flowing in his body!"

Ellander's thoughts were on Orm, who had been losing again and again. He told his adjutant, "Remove the firing restrictions on all warships. Tell them to ignore the organization and tactics. I want only two words: assault. We must cut off the communication between these barbarians and their front and rear as quickly as possible."

"Yes!"

The Atlantis battleship, having received the order, increased the engine output to the maximum. The surrounding seawater gathered to form a protective force. Naval guns emerged from the hull, drawing the surrounding seawater into energy, directly wiping out the geothermal attack.

Immediately, all the warships ignored the provocation and harassment of the Salt Water Army. After determining their position, they moved forward at full speed and headed straight to the rear of the Salt Water Army.

"Hold on. Those warships that just flew over were just a few. There will naturally be people who will stop them. Your mission is to stop the Atlantis army from launching a full-scale attack on the Saltwater Nation. Stay in your positions."

Diana drew out the sword of the gods and swung it from top to bottom, emitting a trace of divine power, and used the power of order to suppress the army of the Salt Water Kingdom on the spot.

Then, Arthur's voice rang out and spread throughout the battlefield, finally calming the restless army and continuing to consolidate their positions.

He raised his trident, ready to summon the Kraken to stop all those warships, but Martin stopped him. "It's just a warship, it's not time to get serious. I guess Vicco didn't introduce you to the generals of the border army, otherwise they would never do such a stupid thing as going deep into the enemy's territory alone."

Atlantis dispatched twenty main battleships at one time. This number was indeed an absolute advantage for the Saltwater Kingdom, which had no maneuverability.

But for Arthur, it was far from enough.

"Hey, it's a good thing you agreed to give up Atlantis. Now we're at war, and they can fight among themselves. Those people are beyond saving."

While Arthur was complaining, he was also paying attention to the situation on the front line. After the Atlantis warships attacked, various small boats carrying a large number of soldiers launched an attack on the Salt Water Kingdom's front line.

"It's at this time that internal fighting breaks out. If your mother controls the royal court, these people won't have the capital to fight."

Martin chatted with Arthur casually, and at the same time used the necklace given by Diana to start using magic.

"Waters of the Seven Seas, in the name of my master, I command you to submit to me!"

Martin held the necklace given by Poseidon to Hippolyta. He used some kind of law similar to that of the new god. Through Poseidon's necklace, he forcibly inserted his will into the ocean and gained control of the sea water.

"spread!"

He stretched out his hands and pushed outwards, and the sea water in front of him began to be drained away, while the sea water in other areas did not change at all, as if the space in front of him had been cut out.

The Atlantis warships that were constantly attacking could never have imagined that Martin would appear here.

Therefore, the soldiers of Atlantis could only watch the surrounding sea water disappear in an instant. The warship engine uses sea water as energy, and of course it needs to circulate with the outside world.

When Martin pumped away the seawater in this area, he also took away some of the seawater inside the battleship.

Due to insufficient energy, these twenty main battleships were like birds without wings. They all fell to the bottom of the sea with a clang. The protective force field formed by the sea water came into direct contact with the geothermal energy, making a hissing sound.

General Elland was in great pain. He thought of Vico's advice and thought that the old bastard must know all these things, but he said nothing.

But he had no time to settle accounts or find out why the sea water disappeared. What he wanted to do most, and what he should do most, was to think about how to bring the people on the twenty warships back.

Battleships are expensive, and the people who drive them may be even more expensive!

Without these officers, how could he, a general, ask for privileges from the Atlantis royal court?

He first removed the seawater protection cover, as the Atlantis warships were not that vulnerable. Then he contacted the main force and ordered:

"I order everyone to attack. Use the strongest offensive force to attack the Saltwater Nation's position and buy time for our evacuation."

Vico's first reaction was that Elland was crazy, and that he would have to let the main force of the border army clean up his mess if he got himself into trouble.

Unfortunately, if Ellander had not died or lost contact, even if Vicco was from the royal court, few officers would obey his command.

"This Elland is indeed a qualified general!"

Martin plugged into Atlantis's communication network, but allowed Elland to contact the border troops without doing anything.

None of Elland's orders were wrong, and he made the most reasonable decisions every time. However, on the battlefield, this rationality was precisely the irrationality that became the factor that sent him to death.

After using Elland to lure out the main force of the border troops, he was no longer of any use to them. Without the sea water, they would not be able to leave the waterless area for a while.

Martin looked to the front line. Even though he was sitting in the command center, he saw the spectacular scene when the entire Atlantis army was mobilized and the sea engines dyed the entire seabed blue.

The Atlantis army launched a full-scale attack and brought out its best, with personnel, weapons and momentum all reaching their peak.

They have no main attack direction because every direction is the main attack.

Every Atlantis soldier was excited, they believed they were about to start a new life on the battlefield. The fragile and barbaric Saltwater people would become a stepping stone for them to be promoted to officers.

"Now, you can summon the Kraken!"

Martin could sense the fanaticism of the Atlantis army from a distance, so he asked Arthur to take out his ultimate weapon.

“A lot of people will die!”

Arthur clenched the trident, sighed, and then smashed the trident to the ground: "But it is not us who sent them to death. So, come out, Kraken!"

"Woo!"

The summoned Kraken let out a long cry, and then the earth was torn apart by the giant creature. A tentacle bathed in magma emerged from the ground, and with a light wave, it swept away half a regiment of soldiers.

The Atlantis soldiers were not afraid. They fired at the tentacles deep underground and did not retreat even under the scalding sea water.

Although, they were all wearing white armor, nothing would happen even if lava fell on them.

But soon, these soldiers saw the most unforgettable, or perhaps the last, scene of their lives.

The Kraken tore through the rock layer directly, and his body, which was larger than a mountain, jumped out of the magma, bringing with it flames, heat, and smoke, like a monster running out of a myth.

Boom!
The giant beast fell to the ground, and the shock wave swept in all directions. The surrounding small boats and individual soldiers were like grass in the wind, with no support. They could only fly around with the shock wave, and finally fell to the ground like a salted fish.

"Woo!"

Kraken had no good feelings towards the descendants of traitors. He recognized Arthur because of the force of life and the last news of Atlan.

But the hatred towards the traitor in his heart never disappeared, but Arthur did not allow it, so he did not show it.

Now that he finally had such an opportunity, the Kraken happily waved its tentacles at such a fast speed that there were afterimages. It turned into a battlefield killing machine, and anyone who was caught in the tentacles would die.

Finally I got the chance to take revenge!
