On the contrary, in order to ensure that he continues the promise made by the previous king with you, he will do his best to protect her."

"But if you rashly declare war now, Atlanna will become a complete hostage, and her safety will be difficult to guarantee..."

"How dare he!" Arthur roared.

Vico began to have a headache again. Whether he dared or not was not the point; whether he could or not was!

"If you're worried about Atlanna, I can be your hostage."

Just when they were about to continue arguing, Mera suddenly came in from outside.

Vico opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

But Arthur flatly refused: "I will never trade with innocent people!"

These words made Mera look at him with admiration. Perhaps what Atlanna said was right, he did have some kingly aura, but this was far from enough.

A qualified king will not act on impulse, nor will he start a war lightly.

At this time, Dane suddenly appeared in the room.

He came and went without a trace, and the entire Atlantis was now almost defenseless against him.

Vico frowned secretly, but he didn't say anything.

What he didn't know was that Dane had already downloaded Cortana's body into their central processing system in Atlantis.

Although the system was not binary, it did not pose any problem for Cortana, who had undergone many evolutions and upgrades.

Now the entire Atlanta network is basically under Dane's control.

It is difficult to hide every move here from him.

"Arthur, are you mobilizing the troops?"

"That's right!" Arthur immediately told Dane what had just happened.

He just nodded after listening: "In that case, let's teach that King Nereus a lesson..."

Before he could finish his words, he felt someone pinching his arm. He turned around and saw Mera pretending nothing had happened.

So he changed the subject: "But there's no need to cause too many casualties. A light punishment and a stern warning will be enough."

At this moment, Arthur's clever little brain suddenly came online, his eyes rolled around and suddenly lit up.

"You mean...dreams?"

Dane nodded, the Dreamstone was very useful at times like this.

It is like creating a huge virtual reality world, allowing people in it to feel birth, old age, sickness and death, but once they wake up from the dream, everything can be reset.

Arthur couldn't help but grin a huge smile.

"In that case, I won't be polite!"

Chapter 174 War begins!

Atlantis quickly trained an army, and this time the army was much larger than the one they used to attack the surface.

After all, the Sea People are a nation living on the bottom of the sea. The unique geographical location here means that their military development direction is destined to be more inclined towards underwater warfare.

So they have a large number of submarine fighters, but these fighters are useless when attacking the surface.

When attacking the surface world, Om's original idea was to use a tsunami to first weaken the surface civilization and catch them off guard.

Then, a small number of amphibious combat forces will be sent to push into the coastal areas to establish war outposts.

With this foundation in place, he can then call on the rest of the kingdoms to join his cause.

He and Nereus had agreed that once he successfully advanced to the coastal area, he would allocate part of his battle zone to the Kingdom of Zebel.

The land combat capability of the Kingdom of Zebel is even worse than that of Atlantis, making it difficult for it to serve as a vanguard.

But as long as there is a jumping-off point, they can develop rapidly and expand their team.

Zebel's technological strength is in line with Atlantis. As long as it is given time, it will be able to quickly build up a large number of troops.

The entire underwater kingdom has a population of more than 500 million, and its war potential cannot be underestimated.

But all these plans failed because of the Justice League. Once the existence of Atlantis was exposed, the other kingdoms would be hard to escape.

Given the warlike nature of the people on the surface, it is almost predictable that the war will spread to the mainland of the underwater kingdom. Nereus doesn't know whether their magic can withstand it.

He hates the surface people, but that doesn't affect his objective assessment of their destructive power.

So he had to strike first, but their Kingdom of Zebel lacked experience in surface combat.

Moreover, their weapons of war could hardly reach the vital points of the surface world, which forced him to hold on to Atlantis.

Let the new king continue to fulfill Orm's previous responsibilities and become the vanguard of Zebel.

But he did not expect that the new king had such a bad temper. When he saw the body carried back by the messenger, he was furious.

"You said he wants to go to war with me?"

When he heard this, he thought he had misheard. Doesn't this person understand anything about politics?

Did he think I would really do something to Atlanna?

Wasn't Mera with him?

The fact that we both have hostages means that I really want to negotiate with you!

Is this new king just a fool?

No matter how many doubts Nereus had in his mind, since Atlantis had declared war on Zebel, they had to prepare for war urgently!

"Pass the order down, have everyone prepare for battle!"

.........

Speed is of the essence in war. Arthur took advantage of the prestige he had accumulated in this short period of time and the legitimate reason of "retaking Atlanna" to quickly gather a large army and march towards the Kingdom of Zebel.

This time, Dane also came with the Atlantis army. He came to bring the "dream" here.

When the Atlantis army drove underwater warships and Mosasaur Rangers to the waters of the Kingdom of Zebel, the power of the Dreamstone also enveloped the country.

Dane was surprised to find that the power of the Dream Stone seemed to be truly infinite. He dragged the two underwater kingdoms into the dreamland without feeling any effort at all.

And because the people in the dream are also providing power to the dream stone, the energy within the dream stone is slightly increased.

In an empty seabed area, the Zebel Kingdom's army on the opposite side also gathered.

The first person to swim out from the army was a man riding a giant seahorse.

"The one coming up is the new king of Atlantis. I am Nereus, King of Xebel. Could you please come out and talk?"

Arthur also came out riding a Mosasaur, holding the golden trident in his hand.

"I am the King of Atlantis, Arthur Curry!"

But Nereus' eyes were fixed on the golden trident, and he was a little bit unbelieving.

"Then...could it be..."

It’s no wonder that he lost his composure, because the Golden Trident has been missing for a thousand years.

Arthur raised his trident and pointed it at him. "Yes, this is the trident you imagined. Are you the king of Xebel? Let me ask you, why do you imprison Atlanna?"

Nereus came to his senses and was very dissatisfied with his condescending attitude, so he said in a hard tone:

"She was a guest in my country and lived happily. Why did you kill my envoy?"

Arthur sneered, "Your messenger tried to threaten me with my mother's safety. If he comes again, I will kill him!"

After all, in the dream world, he dares to say anything harsh.

Is this generation's King of Atlan such a fierce character?

Nereus wondered, if that’s the case, why do we still have to fight?

Then he said, "Arthur, there is no deep hatred between you and me. If you are willing to fulfill the covenant between the former king Orm and me, I can forgive the murder of our envoy."

"Queen Atlanna, you can also send someone to bring her back. If necessary, I can even apologize to you and Atlanna."

Arthur was surprised that he was so humble.

This is because he did not know how high the status of the Golden Trident was in the minds of the sea people.

The people have only heard the story of the trident, just like ordinary people have heard the story of the imperial seal.

Once they find something, they will be excited and thrilled, but that's all.

But for the kings of various countries who knew more secrets, they were well aware that the trident possessed all kinds of incredible divine powers, a power that neither human power nor technology could resist.

Even though Nereus didn't show it on his face, he was actually scared in his heart. If the Golden Trident had one tenth of the power as rumored, the troops he brought would be just a gift to the enemy!

Although he is tough, Nereus is not stupid. His ultimate goal is to achieve political goals.

Arthur hesitated a moment when he heard that reconciliation could be achieved without war, and then he said:

"What agreement did Om... make with you?"

When Nereus heard this, he thought, this is promising!

He quickly explained what they had conspired to do. When Arthur heard that their target was the surface world, his face turned very dark.

But Nereus did not notice this change. He still lacked understanding of Arthur and thought that the change of the throne of Atlantis was just the result of normal political struggle.

But they didn't realize that it was a conflict between two completely different concepts...

So before Nereus could finish, Arthur stopped him from going any further.

"That's enough!" Arthur said sternly, "I can tell you my answer right now."

"No!"

Nereus' expression changed drastically and his face became gloomy.

"I heard you were a hybrid of Atlanna and a surface person, but I thought it was just a rumor..."

Because he didn't think a half-blood could be recognized by the Trident, but the facts were before him.

But the stubborn Nereus didn't think so. He began to suspect that the golden trident in Arthur's hand was fake. How could a mixed-blood bastard get the trident?

So he immediately changed his attitude: "Om is right, a bastard is not worthy of inheriting the throne of Atlantis!"

What Arthur hates most in his life is being called a "bastard"!

So without saying a word, he swung his trident and hit Nereus.

Nereus was also a seasoned warrior. He raised his trident and retreated.

The force is very strong, but it’s not impossible to fight!

He estimated the strength in his mind and felt that this battle was not as hopeless as he had imagined.

"Since you insist on doing this, let us determine the winner on the battlefield!"

Arthur did not use his full strength. Before coming, Vico had repeatedly warned him not to embarrass Nereus in front of his people even if all this was false.

Otherwise, even if everything is reset in reality, the hatred between Atlantis and Zebel will be even greater.

The king's face is the face of the kingdom and cannot be humiliated easily, so Arthur watched Nereus leave.

He waited until Nereus returned to his own army before raising the trident in his hand, with the army behind him ready for battle.

"Atlantis! Attack!"

His voice, amplified by the trident, resounded throughout the battlefield. Following the king's order, the Atlantean army began to fire artillery!

"Fight back!"

Nereus also roared at 0.6 times louder at the same time, and his voice was transmitted to the ears of all soldiers through the equipment.

The same ion beam weapon was fired from the Zebel Kingdom army.

In an instant, the entire deep sea area exploded with fireworks formed by ion beams, and the special effects exploded!

Dane was in the rear of the battlefield and was watching with great interest. IMAX is nothing. Have you ever seen a live special effects blockbuster?

Mera watched all this beside him, her face turned a little pale, and her hands were clenched tightly together.

She didn't know yet that this was all just a dream.

"Why? Why is this happening? This is a completely unnecessary war."
