"Kill them..." Vico came to the bodies of the Atlantis soldiers in despair. He had just seen how terrifying the high-end combat power on land really was.
Diana glanced at Vico disdainfully. She couldn't quite understand Vico's emotions. When a soldier steps onto the battlefield, he should be prepared to die in battle. Since they dared to attack this group of people, wouldn't it be normal for them to be killed by counterattack?
Although the Amazons can remain immortal, it does not mean that they do not accept death. After all, they are a nation of pure warriors, and dying in battle has always been the most respected way of death in their culture. When an Amazon dies on the battlefield, her relatives and friends may be sad or remember them, but they will never be resentful. They may even act weak like Vico. The consciousness of a warrior will be recognized from the moment they pick up a spear. That day should come to the warrior.
If a few people die and we cry, as if our parents are dead, then why fight? Let’s cry at the grave instead!
Arthur also came to his senses.
"They... are enemies!" Vico had taught him before that he must not be merciful to his enemies. Although he did not kill these people, the truth is this.
Vico looked at the corpses of his tribesmen, then at Arthur, and opened his mouth, unable to speak.
He originally wanted to say, those are not your enemies, those are your compatriots, your people. But after changing his mind, he remembered that although Arthur was of royal blood, he was not a member of the royal family. The queen's eldest son had lived on land since he was born. He had never even been to Poseidonis (Asia). The capital of the Kingdom of Atlantis, located next to the ruins of the ancient city of Atlantis).
He is a human, not an Atlantean.
Vico was caught in an extreme tangle. The current situation is that if you want to protect Arthur, you must become enemies of the tribe. This conflicts with Her Majesty's instructions, and the Queen hopes that Arthur will love and care for the people of Atlantis as much as she does. But if you are not an enemy of the tribe, how to protect Arthur is also against the queen's instructions.
"You must leave! Arthur, if you don't want to have a greater conflict with Atlantis!" Vico can only adopt a compromise method to let Arthur leave the seaside! Atlantis' influence is limited to the deep sea and cannot cover the mainland. As long as it is on the mainland, it is safe. This can also avoid continued conflict with Atlantis.
Arthur naturally refused. It wasn't that he didn't understand, it was just... he thought it was too cowardly.
"I think it's better for you to accept it." Kai suddenly interrupted.
Arthur looked at Kai. Although Kai didn't do anything from beginning to end, Arthur could feel that these people were led by him.
Kai picked up an Atlantis weapon and weighed it: "What you are facing is not some stragglers or a ragtag group of terrorists, you are facing a civilized society with extremely high-tech levels! To put it simply, what you are going to face is an entire country! Maybe next, you are going to face an entire fully armed army! And judging from their equipment level, they are very difficult to deal with! "
Kai looked at the thing that looked like an energy gun, but he didn't realize where the energy source of this thing was.
On the contrary, Natasha observed carefully. She had noticed the water on these firearms before, so she took the mineral water she had with her and poured it on the firearms with the mentality of giving it a try.
Then the gun immediately seemed to be alive, sucking in the water, and the water continued to rotate around the surface of the gun.
Everyone looked at each other, this thing...does it only need water to charge?
Kai pointed the gun at the water and fired.
Buzz!
After a strange sound, an energy arrow was activated and exploded more than ten meters high on the sea in the distance!
Oops!
This time it's not that I'm surprised by its power... but its operating mechanism. It can be charged by adding some water. This... is too foul. What about conservation of energy? Being eaten?
Vico frowned as he looked at it. As a high-ranking noble, Vico naturally knew the consequences of such a weapon falling into human hands. This was leaking national secrets to a foreign country! But the problem is that he can't seem to do anything. After all, except for Thomas, Angel and Arthur, he may not be able to do anything.
Natasha looked at the weapon, and her eyes immediately flashed with light. This... seemed like it could be used for a mission!
…
Arthur finally listened to the advice and left the seaside for a city sixty kilometers away from the coastline. Kai and the others naturally have to leave, after all, no one knows whether these Atlanteans will come back again. After all, they had lost a battleship and so many soldiers, so it was only natural that they would come to investigate.
Vico returned to Atlantis. On the one hand, he still hoped to bridge the conflict between Orm and Arthur. In the final analysis, the tragedy of Queen Atlanna was caused by the laws of Atlantis, at least Arthur He is innocent in this regard. He has done nothing and should not bear this hatred. On the other hand, he can also be a spy and give Arthur an early warning.
Just as they arrived at the city called Topsham. (Topsham is not far from the interstate and only a forty-minute drive to Portland)
Vico also returned to the bottom of the sea.
The first time he returned to the bottom of the sea, he got the news that just two days ago, Orm represented the Kingdom of Atlantis and King Nereus of the Kingdom of Zebel at the place where the Lord of the Seven Seas formed an alliance. Have a diplomatic meeting.
The meeting goes awry, they are attacked by humans, and King Nereus is even slightly injured.
Of course, this is nothing. What is really fatal is that three statues of the Lord of the Seven Seas were destroyed!
This is unacceptable to any Atlantean.
The statue of the Lord of the Seven Seas involves the former Atlantis Empire.
The Atlantis empire was extremely prosperous thousands of years ago because it had the protection of Poseidon, the god of the sea. Under the protection of the gods, Atlantis relied on marine resources and lived an extremely prosperous life. Its science and technology and culture also Highly developed.
Until the gods go away, leaving only the loyal Atlantis on the earth, and at the same time, the Neptune Trident, which symbolizes the royal power of Atlantis, is left behind!
The trident is said to be a weapon forged by Poseidon, the god of the sea, for his favorite chosen one. It not only symbolizes royal power, but is also an artifact with supreme power. This artifact can extract endless amounts of energy from the ocean. Energy allowed Atlantis to have a technological level far beyond that era when people on the surface still thought the earth was flat.
It's a pity that after the gods have gone away, human beings' bad nature also appears.
Atlanteans are humans too, no exception.
They attempt to decipher the power of Neptune's Trident so that their race can reach a higher level and be able to better utilize the power of the ocean.
Unfortunately, like all fools who try to master a power they have no understanding of, they failed.
And the price of failure is heavy!
The entire continent of Atlantis sank directly because of the power of Neptune's Trident!
But luckily among misfortunes, it may be that Poseidon, the god of the sea, showed mercy to his people for the last time. While the power of Neptune's Trident sank the continent, it also gave the survivors of Atlantis the ability to swim underwater. The ability to breathe and the power of the trident firmly protected them in the warm and rich deep sea.
The last king of Atlantis, after leading his people to rebuild the kingdom on the edge of the ruins, disappeared into the deep sea with his trident. This was his punishment for himself, being exiled forever!
This is also the reason why the laws after Atlantis also treat kings equally.
In short, with the disappearance of the last king, the successor of the kingdom has become a problem. The last king has no direct bloodline, so there is no undisputed heir. Now there are many candidates who are qualified to inherit the throne.
So not long after the king disappeared, Atlantis entered the so-called republican period, and the nobles jointly managed the country. Although it was unified on the surface, in fact, the kingdom had entered a de facto division.
This superficial unity has been maintained for hundreds of years, but this false unity will always be exposed. In the end, the Parliament split, and the warlords and nobles of all parties started a unification war that lasted for hundreds of years! In the end, the seven nobles who were the strongest, most powerful and closest to the royal family defeated other competitors and came to the end.
But the long-term division and civil war have made Atlantis into an unprecedented weakness. If the war continues, it will only make the noble Atlanteans enter the barbaric era.
So, under the witness of Poseidon, the seven nobles came to the place of alliance, concluded a peace covenant, and defined each other's territories and borders.
Eventually seven kingdoms emerged.
They are the Kingdom of Atlantis, the Kingdom of Zebel, the Fisherman Kingdom, the Saltwater Kingdom, the Trench Kingdom, the Lost Kingdom and an unknown ancient kingdom.
The Atlanteans in these countries entered different sea areas and began to have their own evolutionary directions. Among them, the Atlanteans in their homeland experienced the smallest changes. The Kingdom of Zebel is closest to Atlantis. In fact, in terms of absolute distance, it is still very far away. Atlantis is in the Atlantic Ocean, while Zebel is in the Pacific Ocean. There is North America in between, and they are on both sides of the United States. The Zebels are very similar to the Atlanteans, with not much difference, except that the people in this country all have red hair.
The history of the Fisherman Kingdom is much longer. During the Atlantis era, they were also the ethnic group closest to the ocean. They practiced a high degree of self-restraint. Even in the original Atlantis Kingdom, they also had their own small kingdom. . Then they headed to the warmest seas in the world, between Eurasia and Oceania.
Over a long period of time, the Fisherman Kingdom abandoned its useless legs and transformed into a mermaid form in order to better adapt to the marine environment. They are the most peace-loving country among all the countries. They love art and hate fighting. They are the weakest among the seven countries.
Saltwater Kingdom, they live in the volcanic area of the seabed. Like the Fisherman Kingdom, their bodies also undergo adaptive evolution, but their evolution direction is a bit off. They have evolved into a form similar to marine crustaceans. Their national strength is throughout the world. Ranking third among the seven countries, they also have the most resources. Because it is very difficult to mine and forge in Haiti, only the Saltwater Kingdom is uniquely blessed. The countless volcanoes in their territory can endlessly spit out large amounts of high-purity metal ore.
People in the saltwater kingdom can even fish for molten metal directly from the lava river.
They are the best equipment manufacturing and resource extraction places in the underwater kingdom.
The fate of the remaining three kingdoms is a bit bumpy. The Trench Kingdom has been annihilated long ago, and now they are called the Haigou Clan. For them, I don’t know whether it should be said to be evolution or degeneration. Their territory is in the most mysterious Mariana Trench. In order to survive, they abandoned their weak bodies and wisdom that was useless for survival, and became a kind of half-fish. Half-human monsters (the people of the Fisherman Kingdom are the lower body of fish and the upper body of human beings, while the Haitou people are the other way around), they turned into sea monsters!
They have strong bodies and extremely strong fertility, which makes them the most numerous and the most ferocious. Their base camp is in the Mariana Trench, but in fact there are signs of their activities in the deep seas all over the world. If it weren't for They have stayed in the dark deep sea for too long and are afraid of light. It is estimated that the entire underwater world will be their territory.
As for the Lost Country and the Unknown Ancient Country...it's hard to describe them in one word.
The Lost Kingdom, the entire kingdom is missing. Just overnight, it disappeared. The cities and buildings of the kingdom were intact and there were no traces of the battle, but they just disappeared, and no one knew where they went. Anyway, he just disappeared.
As for the unknown ancient country... you can tell by the name. Since the establishment of this country, no one knows where they are and what they have become.
In short, the Seven Kingdoms were established in the land of alliance, and a statue of the King of the Seven Seas was erected there to commemorate it. Important diplomatic affairs between the Atlantis countries will also be conducted there. This time, King Orm and King Nereus were negotiating in the Covenant Land for the conflict between the two countries. Unexpectedly, a submarine suddenly broke into the Covenant Land and attacked the Covenant Land.
There were not many casualties, although neither king brought mechanized troops, only the Wang family's sea beast cavalry as escorts. But these guards are all the best among the best, and a submarine is not unable to deal with them.
But the problem is that three statues of the King of the Seven Seas were destroyed.
This can't be tolerated!
Although the statues of the King of the Trench Tribe, the First King of the Lost Country, and the First King of the Unknown Ancient Country were destroyed, the statues of the ancestors of the other four kingdoms were fine, but the problem was that the nature of this was too serious. It was the land of the Seven Seas Covenant. It is the original place where the Seven Kingdoms were established!
Its status among various countries is equivalent to that of a holy land!
Then King Nereus and King Orm were very angry.
In fact, all sea dwellers dislike their terrestrial cousins (although this is true biologically, but no Haitian admits this). In the past, they were just noisy monkeys, out of sight, out of mind, But in the past two hundred years, their destruction of the ocean has made many Haitian residents dissatisfied. A large amount of garbage and pollution have entered the ocean, making the marine environment worse. Coupled with unscrupulous fishing, many marine species have become extinct.
Not only that, as time goes by, the damage of these pollutions gradually affects the living areas of all Atlanteans.
Therefore, in the Haitian world, there are no small voices that hate or even advocate tough treatment of human beings.
Coupled with this attack, the two kingdoms that originally had friction formed an alliance!
Let’s face threats to humanity together!
Vico is not a noob, he doesn’t believe in such a coincidence!
There must be something fishy in this!
