Chapter 465: Finally Accepted My Fate! (Please subscribe, read, and comment on the monthly ticket)
"It's a pity that you overestimate your abilities and underestimate your enemies!"

The soldiers in the Atlantis fleet searched frantically, but could not find where the voice in their ears came from. They could only listen to the voice in annoyance and fear.

"So, you are destined to lose today, and lose miserably!"

"Bullshit! I haven't even learned how to write it yet, how can I write it!"

General Elland drew his sword and thrust it into the ground. The blade and the floor rubbed against each other, making a harsh sound, which calmed the panicked officers.

"Stop whining like a woman and get back to your posts and take care of your people, or you'll die!"

The officers were awakened by the shouting and hurried to their posts to restrain their soldiers.

Elland's face was livid, and he scanned the surroundings, trying to find the person who was playing tricks. Otherwise, the fleet would be defeated by panic before they even left the battleship.

The general knew very well that to the people of Atlantis, the area outside the city was like a wild land shrouded in darkness, filled with ferocious sea beasts and backward primitive people.

As long as the Atlanteans walked out of the city, there was a possibility of being attacked, or becoming the excrement of sea beasts after a meal, or being captured by barbarians and used as toys.

In short, there is only one way to avoid danger, and that is to stay in the city illuminated by the light of civilization and obey the command of the Atlantis royal family.

Initially, this was used to unite the Atlantean civilians who were panicked by the Great Fall. Without this, the former Kingdom of the Seven Seas would have been completely destroyed.

But as time went on, the lie slowly became true.

Given Atlantis’ attitude and approach towards the Salt Water Kingdom, it would be strange if the Salt Water Kingdom didn’t want to chop off the heads of all the Atlanteans.

But the Atlanteans in the city were not aware of what the border troops were doing. When they saw the images uploaded from the border, they could only think, oh, how could the Saltwater people be so bad!

As a result, the area outside the city became a completely inaccessible place.

"Damn bastards, damn the royal family, it's all their fault! If they could just stick to their duties, nothing would change!"

Elland was confused.

He also wanted to leave this place now, but it would take time to transfer the seawater in the warship to the small ship, it would take time to plan the route, and it would also take time to adjust the deployment of troops.

"This general's reaction speed is quite fast, much better than that idiot Om whose head is full of tricks and reckless actions!"

Martin was already standing around the Atlantis battleship. As he waved his hands, the nearby sea water turned into a rotating sphere, directly blocking the place.

Although he had never met the general before, he could tell from his various arrangements that he was a typical soldier with a straightforward style of doing things.

Of course, being straightforward does not mean being brainless. The opponent's several arrangements all demonstrate his not-bad military skills.

"Only people like this can be called warlords!"

Martin clenched his fists, ready to attack the fleet.

The reason why the Atlantis border troops launched such a reckless attack was to retake Elland.

For the border troops that have become warlords, the most important thing is their leader.

Because the Atlantis royal court has not lost its authority, no matter how these arrogant and powerful generals show off their power on the border, once they lose the spokesperson who can speak for them in the royal court, they will be quickly abandoned.

Soldiers can be conscripted by force and food and fodder can be robbed, but once the power in the royal court is lost, it is truly gone.

By then, with just one imperial decree from the royal court, their support would be cut off, and they would lose their reputation for righteousness and be easily divided.

Arthur and Diana were fighting on the front lines, so obsessed with tactics that they ignored the political gains and losses. But Martin saw it clearly.

As long as we capture General Elland, today's battle will be over!

"Let me save you the time of packing your equipment and stay in this place!"

Martin snapped his fingers, and the continuously rotating sea water suddenly lost control. Streams of water flew out from the rotating whirlpool, crackling and flying everywhere. They were extremely sharp and cut off everything that stood in the way of the water flow.

General Elland and his men did not do nothing. In the current lack of energy, it was already difficult for the battleship to maintain its internal survival system, and there was no extra energy to set up a protective force field.

And those water knives flying out from the ocean currents, with the blessing of magic, hit the warships with crackling sounds. Although each one only left a shallow mark, the accumulation of them still made holes in the twenty warships, and even rolled them over and over two or three times.

Elland is just an ordinary Atlantean. Although he knows some magic, the range that his meager magic power can control is actually very small.

All his skills were honed on the battlefield. Apart from his military command ability, his only remaining skill was single combat ability.

But neither of these two strengths can deal with the situation at hand, which is to find the person who is attacking in secret.

If it has enough energy, it can also conduct reconnaissance by covering fire.

"I am simply dreaming that as a member of Atlantis, I will one day worry about the lack of sea water."

Elland slammed his fist on the control console. His flagship was protected by other warships and was not attacked too much.

But everyone can see that they have fallen into a disadvantage, and if they continue to defend, the only result will be destruction.

The general looked at the dancing water outside the window and said to his most loyal subordinates: "Although people say that war is a gamble, I have never led you to do anything risky since I took office.

We are all people who couldn't make it in the royal court, so we came here, hoping to use our lives to exchange for a path to progress. I hoped to bring you back to the royal court with honors, but I didn't expect, I didn't expect..."

"If you are willing to trust me, then fight with me once. As long as we can rush out of the waterless belt as quickly as possible, we still have a way to survive."

"General, we will always believe in you!"

"I am living a miserable life at the hands of those barbarians, so I might as well give it a try!"

The Atlanteans on the flagship were furious, but this fury was mixed with helplessness and despair.

They launched an assault to the rear of the saltwater lake with the intention of making great achievements, but now they are surrounded and suppressed by an unknown enemy hiding in the dark using sea water.

They fell from being predators to being hunted in a flash, and it seemed that they had no power to fight back.

How could such a huge gap not make these unthinking soldiers feel sad?
If ordinary soldiers were used to despair in such a situation, they would immediately have some thoughts, such as running away or giving up on the spot. However, the officers and soldiers around General Ellander, although they were of humble status compared to the people in the royal court, were not without a way out compared to the soldiers at the bottom.

When faced with a crisis, they can instead muster the courage to give it a try under the stimulation of fantasy.

Of course, they were willing to fight this because they had too much blood on their hands. Among the huge number of border troops, only the troops closest to Elland were qualified to burn, kill and loot first, and the remaining second- and third-line troops became garbage collectors.

Even though there is fierce killing going on on the battlefield now, when the battle is over, the people of Salt Lake may not be too bloody towards the second and third line troops participating in the battle, but they will definitely not let anyone on these 20 warships go.

"Warriors, follow me!"

Elland only motivated the officers and soldiers on the flagship. These people were his confidants and they would prosper together.

If he had to make a choice, he would definitely retain the core strength among these cores. As for the others, he could only embarrassedly ask them to fend for themselves.

Of course, the soldiers of Atlantis were not stupid enough to rush out wearing only a set of individual combat armor. They drove small boats filled with sea water and swarmed out from the exits of the warships, like arrows shot from a bow, rushing in different directions with long tails of energy flames.

"I'm not blind, but you are stupid. Don't you know what I meant by separating this dry zone?"

Martin's voice appeared again in the ears of the Atlantis soldiers, especially General Elland, who immediately realized the problem.

He shouted, "Prepare for impact!"

With the general's reminder, the seawater that was originally isolated outside suddenly lost its supporting force, and the laws of nature took effect, and countless seawater rumbled down.

The Atlantis soldiers had been extremely looking forward to the sea water before this, but when the sea water really came down, they became pale and tried their best to escape the impact of the sea water.

But Atlantis was not as powerful as they boasted, so all the seawater flying out of the warships was swept into the huge underwater vortex that had just been formed. The small force field generators could not withstand such a strong pressure, and soon the small ships were torn apart, and the soldiers were crushed into meat paste by the falling seawater.

"Hold on, are we Atlanteans afraid of the sea?"

General Elland encouraged his soldiers in this way. He used water magic to try his best to calm the raging sea water around him. He ordered the ships to gather together and connect the force field generators to survive the impact.

"As long as we can survive this impact, we have the sea water and can rush out!"

General Elland's efforts had some small effect, and he immediately continued to encourage his soldiers.

Although he was filled with despair, he would be truly finished if he lost the officers and soldiers under his command.

So, he ignored the words from Bian's mouth and encouraged his men not to give up hope.

At this moment, all the Atlantis soldiers saw a very dazzling blue light appear in the sea in front of them, just like the North Star in the eyes of land people, extremely bright and attractive.

In such a tempting light, the chaotic ocean currents instantly shrank towards that bright light. In the blink of an eye, a sea giant hundreds of meters tall appeared in front of the Atlantis soldiers and stretched out his big hand with complete palm lines to them.

"Surrender! Atlanteans, I can spare your life!"

Of course, this giant was created by Martin using sea water. He was telling the truth and had no intention of taking the lives of these Atlantis soldiers.

To him and the Saltwater Nation, these people were worth more alive than dead.

The Atlantean soldiers who managed to survive the battlefield will always remember what happened on this day, and the fear will be deeply engraved in their hearts and even in their souls.

From now on, whenever someone ordered them to attack the Salt Water Kingdom, they would think of what happened today and lose the courage to step onto the battlefield again.

This is more useful than simply killing these people and then replacing them with a new group of people recruited by hatred and continuing to try every means to kill them.

"Do you think we are three-year-old children? No one will believe such nonsense!"

None of the Atlantis soldiers believed what they said. After they found that the surroundings had stabilized, they controlled the cannons and torpedoes on the small boats and launched an attack on the giant formed by the sea water in front of them.

The high-energy ion flow converted by the seawater engine hit the palm that was pressing down as soon as it was fired, evaporating the seawater that formed the palm and leaving holes in Martin's big hand, which looked like a sieve from a distance.

Martin didn't care and continued to reach down, grabbing directly towards the ship where Elland was. The holes that were made were repaired by the sea water.

"Come on, leave me alone!"

Elland looked at the giant in front of him, his heart filled with despair. He knew very well that he had reached the end.

At this moment, all the false reputations became meaningless, and all the benefits could no longer stimulate his desires. The only thing he still remembered was his identity as a general.

So, he led his personal guards and rushed towards the giant's palm:

"I'll stop this giant, you guys get out of here right now! You must get out safely, don't let my life be wasted in this place."

"Hey, please figure out your identities. This is the Saltwater Nation, you are the invaders. Why are you being so affectionate? Do you think you are acting?"

Martin found it ridiculous to see the general's fearless actions.

He raised his left hand, grabbed a whip formed by the sea water, and swung it gently, causing the surrounding sea water to rotate.

At first the water was just swirling, but soon it expanded into a huge whirlpool, trapping Martin and the fleet.

Those ships that were crying out General Elland's name wanted to escape in all directions, but before they had run away for long, they encountered a high-speed rotating whirlpool that cut off their retreat.

The stubborn ships had seawater engines and did not believe that the seawater could affect the Atlantis ships, so they rushed directly towards the whirlpool.

Then, these ships became duckweed swaying in the wind and rain. Water whips stretched out and entangled these stubborn ships. After turning three and a half times in the air, they slammed heavily in front of the hesitant ships.

Parts of the broken ship floated away weakly, and all the soldiers just fainted but did not die.

Such scenes seem to be reminding these people not to act rashly.

The Atlanteans finally accepted their fate. They stayed where they were and did not take any other actions. They did not even dare to save their colleagues.
