In the submarine, he chose not to save Black Manta's father when he was about to die because he knew the pirates deserved to die.
Om listened to the screams and finally lowered his head silently:
"Please stop. I am willing to... surrender and accept any punishment."
Dane nodded, and sent out an invisible wave. Karasen behind him seemed to have received the signal and stopped his actions.
"Om, you must return with us and accept the imprisonment of the Justice League."
"Arthur, you and Queen Atlanna go and restrain the remaining troops. I don't want another Orm to cause something like what happened today."
Dane looked at Mera one last time, as if he didn't know what to say to her.
Mera whispered, "I'll go back and tell my father what happened today, and he won't cause you any trouble."
Dane seemed a little afraid when he heard her speak. It seemed that his cold behavior just now had indeed left a deep impression on her.
So he could only nod, as a sign of approval of her decision.
Mera breathed a sigh of relief. She was indeed frightened by Dane's cold look just now.
It was just like the wrath of the gods in those mythological stories she had heard.
The Olympian gods, like other pantheons, once launched a great flood to cleanse the world.
At that time, the Atlantis Empire was still on land, and they recorded this wrath of the gods.
So unlike the general optimism of the Greek people today, the descendants of Atlantis not only "respect" but also "fear" the gods.
Orm was taken away by Dane. He teleported Orm back to the Justice Building and used the power of the Dreamstone to temporarily trap him in a dream.
He asked Cortana to build an underwater prison. After all, Orm was a prince, so he should be given a bigger cell, a VIP Supreme Prince Box.
He planned to build the prison in Kandak, where Umbrella's people had already begun building a new Justice Building base.
In the metropolis, Atlanna and others began to gather the remaining remnants.
To be honest, Superman is quite measured in his actions. Many people have been injured by him, but only a few have actually died because of him.
On the contrary, it was Karasen, who was recruited by Dane later. With one of his big claws, an entire warship was crushed, and the casualties were often even more tragic.
Arthur was able to communicate with Karasen, and considering that he could use the trident freely, Karasen was willing to give him some face.
So at his request, Karasen moved his huge body and returned to the sea.
After Karasen left, Atlantis on the shore finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then fell into confusion again.
Their king has been taken away, and now the only people who can lead them are the former Queen Atlanna and the half-blood prince Arthur Curry.
"Atlantis! Today's war is completely unnecessary! You may think you are seeking revenge, but I have to say, you are wrong!
There has never been any revenge, this war is a carefully planned conspiracy! I will explain this matter to you clearly, but first, you must reorganize your army and retreat in an orderly manner! "
The soldiers of the Atlantis army looked at each other, and finally had no choice but to follow the queen's orders.
Seeing that Vico also obeyed the queen's orders, they naturally had no choice but to follow blindly.
After listening to Atlanna's words, they were now confused about what was true and what was false, and they didn't want to fight anymore.
They don't want to face Superman, Dane, or Karason again. This attack on the surface world can be said to be a complete failure!
Just a few people were enough to defeat the Atlantis army. As long as those two people were there, Atlantis would never dare to think about attacking the surface world again.
It seemed that Atlanna had achieved her goal, but she was not happy at all. Today's battle... no, it couldn't even be called a war.
It was just two "gods" using their own power to crush an army of mortals.
The pride and backbone of the Atlanteans were severely dealt a blow in this battle, and Atlanna was filled with only worry.
Vico had roughly the same idea.
Arthur didn't think too much about it. As long as the war didn't happen, he wouldn't care about those things.
His mind is now full of thoughts about how to get rid of the burden of being "king".
He didn't want to be the King of Gouba at all. He just wanted to swim freely in the sea and continue to be his own Aquaman, drinking whenever he wanted and beating whoever he wanted.
He often hangs out in remote fishing ports in Northern Europe. The Nordic girls there are so pretty.
And after becoming king, how can he go to the Justice League? Wouldn't he be bored to death by official duties every day?
Atlanna and Vico hadn't realized that the king they had chosen hadn't even taken office yet and was already thinking about how to escape!
As for Clark, he immediately returned to the restaurant where he had a date with Lois after the dust settled, only to find that there was no one there.
He was very regretful and probably thought Louise thought he had stood her up.
But soon his cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Louise. He quickly answered the call.
"Is it Clark?"
Clark was about to apologize, but he didn't expect that the other party had already started apologizing.
"Sorry Clark, I'm afraid today's date has to be cancelled. I heard there's an army from the sea invading the coast, and I have to go check it out!"
There was uncontrollable excitement in Louise's voice.
Clark was dumbfounded.
Chapter 162 Eagle Sauce: Fight back! We must fight back!
As the journalist with the greatest potential to win the Pulitzer Prize in recent years, Louise's thirst for news is obvious to all.
At this moment, Clark didn't know whether he should be glad that she didn't care about his departure, or lament that he was not as important as news in her mind.
However, although Atlantis had withdrawn its troops, there was still some chaos in the area near the battlefield. He was worried that something might happen to Louise, so he quickly ran towards the coast.
……
The next day, Louise published an article in the Daily Planet about the "Atlantean Army Invasion" and linked this incident to the tsunami that occurred in Port Cien on the same day.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar at home and abroad!
At the same time as she published her article, eyewitnesses of the day also began uploading what they had filmed on TikTok, and more video evidence began to support Louise's article.
At the same time, Dr. Shen, who firmly believed in the Atlantis civilization, began to appear frequently on television media to publicize the existence of the sea people and the threat that this race might pose to humans.
After experiencing the invasion of the Atlantis army, people began to believe what he said and held a fearful and hostile attitude towards the Atlantis civilization.
There are even radicals clamoring that these fishmongers should be taught a lesson!
But at the same time, another voice began to emerge in public opinion, and the power of this voice was very strong.
They are marine animal protection and environmental protection organizations.
They claim that it is precisely because humans are destroying the earth's environment day after day and damaging the marine environment that the Atlanteans are hostile to them.
What humans should do most is not to look for someone to take the blame or to hate the people in the sea.
Instead, they should reflect on themselves and repent for their actions. Ideally, they should take the initiative to seek out the Atlanteans for peace talks and actively seek a path to peace...
As soon as this statement came out, public opinion exploded.
Then the internet began to divide into camps and fight against each other.
Those who agree that the Atlanteans must be strongly counterattacked and those who hope to facilitate peace talks have started a war of words on the Internet.
They say the other side is weak-kneed and even licks the invaders. How shameless!
They say that these barbarians only know how to fight and kill. When they invade, our official army is almost useless. Should we just fight with our heads?
They say they have a strong will and the Justice League, so taking down a small underwater kingdom is no problem.
They say that they are uncivilized, but they still want to order the Justice League to be the executioners. It's ridiculous. If they have the ability, they can just take up guns and do it themselves!
Dane liked this comment.
Just as the online discussion was in full swing, the military took the opportunity to stand up and claim that the United States military has the ability and confidence to protect the people.
But it attracted a lot of criticism!
On the Kuaishou video, people have once again witnessed the incompetence of the US military. Their fighter jets were killed accurately before they could even get close to the Atlantis army.
The army troops were late throughout the entire process. I wonder where they got lost?
If Superman hadn't appeared, the army would have suffered heavy casualties!
Therefore, what they most want to see is the statement from the Justice League. As eyewitnesses, they should know the truth of the matter best.
Dane also saw the boiling public opinion, and promptly asked Cortana to organize the copy and related videos, and selectively publish the events at that time on the Internet.
Today, pioneering technology has basically dominated online media channels.
Most of the news and social media software you see on the Internet have the shadow of Pioneer behind them.
So when all online media outlets reported the events that occurred in Ci'en Port and the metropolis in a unified manner, the public easily accepted the idea that there was civilization under the sea.
Nowadays, we have seen aliens, so underwater civilization is not surprising.
But Dane had even more secret information in his hands. He exposed the incident of the navy losing a submarine in the Mariana Trench on the Internet, which once again caused an uproar in public opinion.
The military's capabilities are once again being seriously questioned.
If the military cannot even protect itself, how can they guarantee their ability to protect the public?
The enemy's base camp is on the seabed. If the army's submarines cannot attack the enemy's homeland, how can their military deter the enemy and organize a counterattack?
In military terms, the ability to attack the enemy's homeland is a very important military capability.
You can not use it, but you can not live without it.
Because it does not mean that your ability to deter the enemy is greatly reduced, while the enemy can attack or defend, and has more tactical options and room for strategic maneuvering.
Because of the release of this news, the reputation of the military, especially the navy, began to plummet, and even this public opinion affected Congress's funding for the military.
Inside the Pentagon, the admiral who had sought General Ryan's help was cursing in the conference room.
"Damn it! Damn Avant-garde Technology! How did they know this secret?!"
There were other military leaders present as well, and their expressions were also very grim, especially the Air Force general, whose expression was as dark as that of the admiral.
His fighter unit had no output during the Atlantis invasion, and almost just circled the battlefield before withdrawing.
There was no way. The Atlantean naval guns could fire too far and were too accurate. If they hadn't moved away, those fighter planes would have been wiped out!
"We must fight back! Prove to the people that the military still has the power to protect its citizens!"
"We must also prove to the world that the U.S. military is still the most powerful military in the world!"
"But we don't even know where the enemy's lair is." Someone questioned.
But the Admiral smiled and said calmly, "In fact, I have found the location of those fishmongers."
He learned this secret through General Ryan's intelligence, but he would not tell anyone about it.
Everyone present looked at each other in confusion, and then someone asked him, "Even if you know their location, how do you plan to attack their homeland?"
At this time, someone whispered, "They are creatures that live in the ocean. In fact, they only need one nucleus..."
Then the old man saw that everyone was looking at him like an idiot.
After the Seaside City incident, Washington's review of the use of nuclear weapons has become more stringent.
Detonating something like this in the sea will definitely arouse strong opposition from environmental protection organizations and marine animal protection organizations, so don’t even think about it!
The admiral shook his head. "There's no need for us to make such a big fuss. I actually have a better idea."
"We all know that these fishmongers live in the ocean. Seawater, as a medium, can spread toxic substances more easily than air..."
He didn't continue speaking, but everyone present understood what he meant. This idea was really insidious, but it sounded very feasible.
Swanwick's face changed slightly. He didn't expect that this respected old general would actually propose such a trick.
To put it bluntly, anyone who uses biological or chemical weapons is committing crimes against humanity.
But what he didn't expect was that most of the generals present actually tacitly agreed with or even approved of this idea.
Some were even helping the Admiral refine his plans.
"It's best not to let the military get directly involved in this matter, so as not to give any organization an excuse."
It’s fine if they know about this kind of thing internally, but they absolutely cannot let the public know about it, especially Pioneer Technology!
Letting people know internally is to reassure the congressmen and let them see that the military is still capable, so that they will be more willing to allocate funds.
In the past year, the funding received by the military has become so low that many people cannot accept it. Even the soldiers under their command are not working hard enough.
