American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

She soon found out.

Not long after Mera came here, a team of Zebel soldiers also followed here.

Mera looked back and couldn't help but frown.

"What are you doing here?"

The leading soldier, wearing armor, bowed his head and apologized to Mera.

"Princess Mera, please forgive me, this is an order from King Nereus."

"What order? An order for you to put Atlanna under house arrest?" Mera said coldly.

"No, King Nereus only ordered us to protect Atlanna." He didn't even call her "Queen".

Atlanna's face darkened. "I have my own guards. I don't need your protection!"

The leading soldier said sternly, "We are merely following the orders of King Nereus, ma'am. Your guards are also under our protection."

Atlanna almost laughed out loud. "Protection?" she asked. "This is imprisonment!" Nereus definitely had no good intentions.

But she has no other options now. She can't just call out, right?

Not to mention that she doesn't have a weapon with her now, even if she did, she can't hurt anyone in the territory of the Kingdom of Zebel. Wouldn't that give people a chance to criticize her?

But Atlanna changed her mind and set her sights on Mera.

So she whispered something in Mera's ear, and Mera looked at the soldiers outside the door and nodded imperceptibly.

Mera whispered a warning as she swam past the soldiers:

"I want you to remember that no matter what orders you receive, Atlanna is still a member of the royal family, and that is irrefutable."

"I hope you will be more careful when treating her. Father asked you to come here to protect her, not to deliberately provoke a war between Atlantis, right?"

After saying these words, Mera left without looking back.

The soldier's face changed, but in the end he didn't dare to act rashly and guarded the exit with his soldiers.

Mera, after leaving the living room, did not return to her room, but slipped out of Zebel when no one was paying attention.

She was so familiar with this country that she knew where to go with her eyes closed.

Zebel was not far from Atlantis, and her submarine was very fast, so she soon arrived at the border entrance of Atlantis.

"Huh? Why is she here?"

The first person to discover Mera was Dane, who was still in the dream.

He did not cancel the dream because he expected that the mastermind behind it must have other intentions towards Atlantis, and he believed that the mastermind would strike again.

And this time, it will face Dane head-on.

But unexpectedly, the mastermind didn't wait for Mera, but waited for her.

He thought about it and decided to lead Mera into the dream.

Now the real Atlantis and the dream world have overlapped. Without Dane's guidance, she would have been wandering outside for her entire life and never been able to get in.

Mera had just stepped into the border of Atlantis when she saw a sudden flash in front of her eyes and found herself in an unfamiliar room.

In the room is the surface man, Shazam.

"You, why are you here?"

This is a waterless environment, and Mera's body was wet. She subconsciously stroked her wet red hair, and when she reacted, she quickly put her hand down.

Dane turned to look at her, "I'm here to help Arthur with something, and what about you, Mera, why are you here?"

Mera then remembered what she was going to do. She quickly said, "I want to find Arthur Curry and Vico. Queen Atlanna is now under house arrest in Zebel by my father!"

Dane frowned slightly, and used his ability to summon Arthur.

Not long after, the door of the room opened and Arthur rushed in.

"Dane, you said something happened to my mother! What happened?

Huh? Aren't you Mera from Xebel?

As soon as he entered the room, Arthur found that Mera was there too.

Dane explained, "Mera came to inform us that her father Nereus has now placed Atlanna under house arrest for unknown reasons."

At this time, Vico also swam in from the water film outside the door.

When he heard what Dane said, he was stunned at first, and then his expression changed immediately.

"Oh no! Nereus must have made some agreement with Orm, and now he's been imprisoned and can't fulfill his promise.

Now Nereus wants to use the Queen as a threat to force Atlantis to continue to fulfill the agreement."

Well, you know everything just at the beginning. Either you have read the script in advance, or you were there when this happened.

Although Vico was only an instructor of the guards on the surface, he actually did the work of the king's right-hand man and prime minister.

With just a little thought, he pieced together the truth of the matter.

The old political bitch belongs to...

Chapter 173 You want war, I’ll give you war!

I have to say that Vico's guess was very accurate. Nereus really thought so.

When he walked into Atlanna's confinement cell, Atlanna probably guessed something.

"You have a pact with Om?"

Nereus is a serious man, as if he has always been so cold and hard.

Instead of denying Atlanna's suspicion, he simply admitted it.

“Yes, your son promised me that Atlantis would form an offensive and defensive alliance with Zebel.

Now he has been defeated on the surface battlefield, but the alliance between our two countries cannot be abolished."

In a monarchy, it is common for a new emperor to have new ministers, but Nereus does not want to accept this unspoken rule.

This made Atlanna a little suspicious: "Have you recently... been involved in any military operations~?"

Nereus did not answer her this time, but this made Atlanna's heart sink.

She warned: "Arthur is now the king of Atlantis. Under his leadership, Atlantis will never let you fall into the abyss of war again!"

Nereus just sneered and looked at her meaningfully: "Then let us wait and see."

Atlanna's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, she was taken hostage!

Nereus quickly ordered his men to take a letter to Arthur. When the man had already set off, he remembered that he had to put his troublesome daughter under house arrest to prevent her from doing anything bad.

But when he went to look for her, he found that Mera was no longer in her room.

He reached out and grabbed one of his followers: "Where's Mera?"

The man replied: "I don't know. Princess Mera often disappears and reappears for no reason. We have no way of knowing her whereabouts."

Nereus put him back. He thought about the past between Mera and Atlanna, and he had some guesses in his mind.

"Mera, I hope you don't forget that you are a Xebel..."

Atlantis.

Arthur sat in the throne room for the first time because someone told him that an envoy from the Kingdom of Xebel was coming to see him.

The man was wearing vintage-style chain mail, a traditional Zebel style.

"So, you are the new king of Atlan? The half-blood?"

All the soldiers present were immediately excited when they heard this.

"How dare you speak to the king like that!"

Two guards even tried to rush up and capture him for his disrespect.

The messenger was a little surprised. That was not right. He had heard that the new king Arthur was not popular, so he used such an arrogant attitude and tried to suppress the other party in terms of momentum.

But why do these soldiers in front of me look like they are protecting their master?

He was a little scared.

He didn't know that because Arthur had punished the "Shark King" Nanavi before, his strength had been recognized by the Atlanta military.

He even gained the favor of the parliament for stopping Task Force X's conspiracy in time.

Among the public, his reputation is quite good thanks to the filter of dreams.

Although he no longer has 100% support as his popularity has decreased, the goodwill hidden in the hearts of the people is now the most solid foundation for his throne.

So this messenger from Zebel had completely gone in the wrong direction.

But Arthur raised his hand to stop the guards, his expression intimidating without anger.

"Queen Atlanna of our country visited your country some time ago. How is she now?"

The messenger was a little more restrained this time, but he came with a mission, and thinking about that mission, he couldn't help but have a headache.

Judging from the current situation, if he told the truth, he might be torn to pieces on the spot.

But he could only bite the bullet and say: "The queen of your country is currently visiting our country, and our king said:

If the new king of Atlan is willing to recognize the offensive and defensive alliance agreement signed between the previous king and our country, then Queen Atlanna will naturally be returned intact..."

This is a threat! Anyone present who is not a fool can hear it.

Arthur's rage could no longer be contained. He grasped the golden trident beside the throne with his right hand, controlling the water flow to instantly bring the messenger in front of him.

The huge water pressure blurred the messenger's face. When he came to his senses, he found that he had been lifted into the air by Arthur.

Arthur looked at him fiercely: "You want to know my answer?"

After saying this, he thrust the trident into the messenger's chest.

"That's my answer!"

He held the trident in one hand and pushed forward, pushing the messenger's body back to where he had just stood.

"Throw that body to the remaining messengers and tell them that Atlan will take back what's ours in his own way!"

The guards were deeply moved when they heard this. As simple soldiers, they were very impressed by this.

We must respond to any enemy who dares to offend us with the most fierce counterattack!

"Pass the order down, have all troops prepare for battle!"

The first order Arthur issued after taking the throne was to declare war on Zebel!

This is a result that no one expected.

There was an uproar in the House of Nobles. Who could have expected this? Who could have expected this?

They had just started to change their impression of Arthur when this guy did this.

"Does he want to use force to force all kingdoms to submit to Atlan? That's too hasty!"

They did not know the truth and thought that Arthur chose to fight foreign wars in order to secure his throne.

This is also a trick often used by the Western feudal system. The former king of Atlantis, Oum, also thought so, but he failed.

I originally thought that Om was reckless enough, but I didn't expect Arthur to be even more reckless.

Did he know how many divisions Atlanta had before issuing this order?

In Arthur's room, Ke Ye attacked Arthur crazily.

"Are you fucking crazy? Why are you declaring war? What's the difference between you and Orm?"

Vico was furious. To hell with all the aristocratic manners!

Arthur was also furious and started to rant at Vico: "That old bastard dared to arrest my mother, so he deserves to die! What did I do wrong?"

"Even so, you should first seek diplomatic reconciliation..."

"Reconciliation!" Arthur snorted disdainfully.

Vico was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing, but he could understand Arthur's feelings and could only persuade him with kind words.

"Arthur, Xebel and Atlanna are close friends for generations. Even if Nereus puts Atlanna under house arrest, he won't harm her.
