Chapter 394 War Descends, Evil Creatures Attack

At this moment, Atlantis enters a full-scale military preparation phase.

Inside the palace, however, a huge argument broke out.

The council of elders did not support mobilizing troops.

The reason given was that resources should not be wasted before there was clear information, and it was necessary to conduct an investigation and confirm the information. Once the council of elders confirmed the information, the army could be mobilized.

Atlanna and Arthur insisted that the entire army be on high alert.

This involves control of the military.

The Presbyterian Council now holds legislative power and is looking to use this opportunity to seize control of the military.

If Atlanna backs down this time and deploys military forces according to procedures, then any future matters involving the military will have to be reviewed by the Council of Elders.

As a result, the royal family's real power was further undermined, and they were reduced to mere puppets.

Neither side would back down, and they remained deadlocked, sticking to their own opinions.

Arthur, on the throne, was in a terrible predicament.

He was simply tired of the endless arguments, so he wanted to get away from Atlantis.

When the previous monarch was overthrown, Neptune's ancestors promised the nobility co-rule, leading to the current situation of a separation of powers.

Allen and the others, who were imprisoned, were living quite comfortably.

With the Queen's care and arrangements, we had three seafood feasts a day, plus a full range of entertainment facilities, making it feel like a comfortable vacation.

They were waiting for the black manta rays to attack Atlantis.

As long as war breaks out, we can take advantage of the chaos to strike.

Furthermore, a simple prison is no match for Allen; he can easily return home with a simple teleportation portal.

At that moment, the four of them stared at Allen's palm.

A cloud of water vapor gathered in my hand, constantly changing into various shapes.

"The water element here is really abundant."

Allen's magical talent made it easy for him to observe magical elements and to easily research water elemental magic.

Of course, it is unrealistic to expect to master and create advanced water magic in one go; it requires a significant investment of time and effort.

Given Allen's personality, he couldn't stand being alone at all.

"you…"

Om couldn't think of an adjective for a moment.

Because Allen's magical talent was too terrifying, his achievements in water elemental magic were very limited, and he only used it to assist in close combat.

As for Namor, he had never practiced magic; in short, he was a Muggle.

However, they are born with superhuman strength, possess the ability to fly, and summon marine life, so they don't need to waste time in the realm of magic.

"Done!"

Allen casually dispersed the water element.

Everyone was completely baffled.

What's done?

He was just playing in the water; there was no indication that he was studying magic.

"Through rigorous and meticulous research just now, a water-based spell has been obtained."

Allen pointed at T'Challa, and a streak of azure light entered his nasal cavity.

Forehead…

The next moment, T'Challa clutched his throat in discomfort, as if he were suffocating.

"Suffocation technique?" Orm guessed.

"Wrong."

Allen explained smugly, "It's underwater breathing."

That's right. Considering that he, Morgan, and T'Challa cannot breathe underwater, they took the time to create a corresponding spell.

"It can ensure that humans can breathe freely in water," Allen said in a serious tone.

Namo asked curiously, "What about in an environment without water?"

"You absolutely cannot breathe," Allen replied earnestly.

The next moment, four pairs of eyes turned to T'Challa, who had fallen into a coma and was suffocating.

There was no water in the cell, but plenty of oxygen, so T'Challa suffocated from lack of oxygen.

Clearly, underwater breathing techniques are quite impractical.

Within the palace grounds, an atmosphere provides a dry environment specifically for the Atlantean nobility.

After all, ordinary sea creatures cannot survive on land; only nobles and royalty are not subject to such restrictions.

Retract the spell.

T'Challa woke up immediately, gasping for air like a drowning person who had been pulled ashore.

……

On the high walls of Atlantis.

The patrolling soldiers looked toward the long line of people entering the city.

Intelligent creatures in the ocean are collectively known as sea creatures, which include not only kingdoms based on technology, but also races skilled in magic.

The vehicles themselves reveal a range of features, including futuristic submarines and large marine mammals used as mounts.

However, they all followed the order established by Atlantis.

"Look, what's that?"

The soldiers stationed on the city wall immediately noticed a large area of ​​darkness approaching from afar, rapidly encroaching on the main city.

"Turn on the lighting equipment."

Machines capable of illuminating extremely far distances were activated, and beams of blinding light shone into the distance.

hiss…

Suddenly, a piercing, sharp screech rang out.

These are malevolent creatures that inhabit the deep sea year-round and are extremely sensitive to light.

It was a terrifying array of countless, densely packed deep-sea creatures.

"What the hell is this thing?"

"Control tower, enemy attack, enemy attack..."

"It's an evil creature that lives in the deep sea!"

"..."

Not only were the soldiers terrified, but the queue waiting to enter the city also became restless.

The sea creatures, who were positioned very far back in the line, noticed the danger from behind and decisively abandoned their plan to enter the city, rising to the surface of the sea without hesitation.

In an instant, the scene became extremely chaotic.

In the ocean, there are different deep-sea areas, all of which are forbidden territory for sea creatures.

For example, the Trench Tribe's habitat is only a canyon in the ocean, while in the true deep sea, due to the air pressure, the marine life cannot breathe normally.

Moreover, the sea creatures have never lacked adventurers, but none of them have ever returned alive.

In comparison, they had a thorough understanding of the Trench people's lifestyle and had a better chance of survival.

Within a minute, the city's defense system was operational.

Waves of energy cannon fire were blasted at the evil creature, but with little effect.

It can only blast a small hole in the dark surface, and in the blink of an eye, more evil creatures fill it.

Even the evil creatures at the forefront, which were more than ten times the size of blue whales, were able to withstand the energy cannons.

The difference in air pressure in the deep sea makes the evil creatures thick-skinned and have amazing defensive capabilities.

Fortunately, Queen Atlanna had deployed her troops ahead of time.

The supreme commander realized that the defense system was not working well and immediately dispatched troops out of the city to meet the enemy.

This news reached the palace where the dispute was taking place.

The Elders' Council, which had initially been in a dominant and aggressive position, fell silent upon hearing the report.

Atlantis is under attack. According to the law, the entire military force must obey the king's orders, and no one may interfere with the orders, otherwise they may be executed on the spot.

"Follow me to meet the enemy."

Finally, Aquaman Arthur no longer needed to listen to a bunch of old fogies nagging, so he raised his golden trident and flew away from the throne.

The simplest and most brutal way to solve problems is through direct confrontation.

The members of the council of elders looked at each other, their eyes filled with helplessness.

It's impossible for them to get involved in the military again in the short term, and they can't possibly tamper with the war.
