The so-called dark sea is actually the deep sea in the ordinary sense. It is a desert of life, even more desolate than a desert. Even animals that can live there have a frighteningly low chance of encountering another creature.
So even the Atlanteans rarely stay in this kind of sea area, because there is really nothing there!
But the saltwater kingdom is different from other underwater kingdoms. For example, the Kingdom of Atlantis, the Kingdom of Zebel and the Fisherman Kingdom. These three kingdoms all live under the protection of the Poseidon Ocean Current. Their territories have very suitable water pressure and temperature, and there is sufficient water. The light source makes it extremely rich.
This is true even for the Haitai tribe (although the territory of the Haitou tribe is much more desolate than the other three kingdoms, it is still much stronger than the general dark sea area). There is only a saltwater kingdom, and they live naked near deep-sea volcanoes.
Without the protection of Poseidon's divine power, there would be no fertile sea areas. Some are just the jungle of the jungle and survival of the fittest.
The ancestors of the original Saltwater Kingdom believed that Poseidon's people wanted them to be close to the ocean instead of always hiding in his great divine power. Only by embracing the ocean and adapting to it can they get closer to the sea god.
So the saltwater kingdom evolved into that weird state.
This also means that if you want to enter their territory, you must pass through a long, lightless sea.
This is also the place where the Saltwater Kingdom is most vulnerable to ambushes.
After imprisoning Vico, Orm just wanted to be alone. He's a little...a little, depressed? Isn’t it frustrating that the people closest to you have betrayed you? There was also anger, and for a moment, Orm almost pulled out his trident and killed Vico.
But eventually he gave up.
Now he just wants to be quiet by himself and let the annoying feeling disappear silently!
He cannot be weak!
Absolutely not!
But even with such a small request, he was not satisfied.
"Your Majesty! The signals of several of our outer ships have disappeared!" An officer stood up from the command platform and walked to Orm's side.
Om was irritated, but he held it back. After all, his loyal officer did nothing wrong. He was just doing his duty. Orm's upbringing prevented him from blaming this loyal officer. "what happened?"
"Checking..."
"That……"
Just when Orm was about to indicate where to point, a voice came from the command platform again: "Your Majesty! Several more battleships have lost their signals!"
Only now did Om pay attention. At first, he thought it was something in the dark sea that affected the signal transmission. In many lightless sea areas, there are many dangerous things hidden. These things are not necessarily scary monsters. After all, anything can appear in this ghost place.
For example, in the famous Bermuda Triangle, there is a very strange magnetic field in the lightless sea. It is a place that even the Atlanteans are unwilling to approach.
There is also a type of plankton in the deep sea called hermit crabs. This creature has nothing to do with crabs. They are more like some extremely tiny arthropods that look a bit like crabs. They just wander in the lightless sea. They are not parasitic and are usually harmless plankton, drifting aimlessly in the deep sea with the currents in groups.
But once they encounter a high-energy reaction, they are like hungry wolves hunting for prey, chasing the energy source in groups and absorbing energy.
A very magical creature, this thing Atlantis can't do anything to them.
However, they are only in the lightless deep sea and cannot easily leave the lightless deep sea.
In short, there are too many dangers, and it is not something strange if a few warships are in trouble. Otherwise, the Atlanteans would not be so resistant to the Dark Sea.
But it is not a surprise that several battleships were involved in an accident so soon.
"Check it immediately!"
But at this moment, a red light suddenly lit up underneath the entire fleet!
"Your Majesty, there is a strong energy reaction below the fleet! It is very likely an undersea volcanic eruption!"
The words just fell.
The entire flagship suddenly shook.
"We are under attack! We are under attack! Raise the protective shield immediately! Raise the protective shield immediately!"
At this time, Orm saw on the huge screen in the command room, countless bolides ejected from the bottom of the sea and hit their huge fleet! The first to suffer was the deep sea knights roaming outside the fleet!
These are Atlantean knights riding various beasts of the deep. Under their crotches are deep-sea behemoths such as giant deep-sea sharks, Leviathan whales, giant deep-sea seahorses, and so on.
In fact, we can see from this how peaceful these Haitians live.
cavalry?
They all have countless huge, black-tech battleships, but they also have an extremely large number of sea beast knights.
This is undoubtedly a waste.
But this is exactly what these undersea countries do. After all, they have never had any real large-scale wars, and the art of war has not developed much over the years.
"How is it possible!" Aum slapped on the armrests of his throne: "How is it possible that there is a volcano that happens to appear here?!"
Undersea volcanic eruptions... are actually quite common. It's just that most submarine volcanic eruptions are unknown on land.
But it was such a coincidence that it happened just when his fleet was passing by.
"Your Majesty! This is the Saltwater Kingdom!!"
Along with a burst of shrill shouting, many humanoid creatures riding on various strange sea beasts appeared on the screen of the control tower, waving various weapons and rushing towards their fleet, fighting with the sea beast knights escorting the fleet. Together!
Orm still couldn't figure out how the Saltwater Kingdom...the group of barbarians still living in the Iron Age could evade his high-tech detection!
On the contrary, Orm was not so surprised by the submarine volcano.
If there's anyone in the world who knows the most about submarine volcanoes, it's the Saltwater Kingdom. These crabs spend their entire lives on the edge of volcanoes!
The Kingdom of Atlantis and the Kingdom of Zebel both have Tide Sages and Sea Witches, and the Saltwater Kingdom has special individuals who can control submarine volcanoes, so there seems to be nothing unacceptable.
Seeing the explosions and silence of the warships under his command suddenly attacking one by one, Orm admitted that he had underestimated these barbaric guys!
Of course, I don’t blame Orm. The gap between the Saltwater Kingdom and other kingdoms is really too big. Even if you want to plant spies, you can’t do it. After all, no matter how powerful Atlantis’s black technology is, it can’t turn a person into a powerful person. A 'monster' with six arms and a body covered with shells.
"Inform all ships not to panic, put up the fire shield, disengage as soon as possible under the cover of the Sea Beast Knights, keep distance, and directly crush those barbarians with powerful firepower!"
Following Orm's order, the panicked flagship command room began to gradually recover, and instructions were conveyed to each battleship in the fleet in an orderly manner.
But soon there was bad news.
"Your Majesty, there are several huge sea monsters coming towards us! We are about to make contact with the fleet!"
The sea monster is the real name of the Saltwater Kingdom. Since all the warriors of the Saltwater Kingdom have appeared, there is no reason why their most powerful military branch will not appear.
The sea monsters in the Saltwater Kingdom are very characteristic of their country, and here are some huge Pipi shrimps.
Of course, the Pipi shrimp is a joke, but it does look somewhat similar to the mantis shrimp, especially the ferocious giant claws that are tucked under the chest and abdomen, like two retracted fists, which are more similar to the mantis shrimp. . Legend has it that the impact force of a punch from the bird-tailed mantis shrimp can reach 120 kilograms. Looking at the size of these sea monsters, it is possible that a punch could weigh 120 tons!
The truth is almost the same. Now the sea monster swims very fast and punches even faster. Often, as long as it sticks to a battleship, it can immediately open a big hole in the battleship!
If you are unlucky, both sections will appear after being hit.
"Hmph!" Om saw a mocking smile on his face when he saw those sea monsters. Orm's plan didn't just come up with a slap on the forehead. On the contrary, he had been preparing for this plan for many years. He had already guessed that the Saltwater Kingdom would not surrender so easily.
So he was prepared in advance!
"Release all the arctic sea monsters! Give these barbarians a surprise!"
Following Orm's order, the fleet that had been gathered together began to disperse. In this way, the destructive power of the sea monsters in the Saltwater Kingdom was suddenly reduced.
As the fleet separated, the bodies of several elder octopuses in the center, which had been surrounded by the fleet, were revealed, but monsters with beast-like bodies and arthropod limbs and mouthparts were revealed. If Kai were here, he would immediately recognize the sea beast he encountered in the last mission of the army. By the way, it was also because of this mission that Kai met President Benjamin and formed a rift with General Ross. He was kicked out of the army for punching General Ross.
Each of these sea monsters was originally chained with thick chains by several battle armors.
Now these chains have been taken back into the battleship.
And those sea monsters also rushed towards a few 'Pippi Shrimps' as soon as they were freed from their restraints!
At one time, more than a dozen giant monsters that were more than 100 meters tall were biting into a ball in the deep sea! The huge currents caused the surrounding sea beast knights to leave the center of the battle, for fear of being swept away by those currents.
As soon as the battle began, those Pipi shrimps had the advantage. The shells of Pipi shrimps are very hard. When Orm's arctic sea monster fights against those Pipi shrimps, it takes a lot of effort just to break through the defenses. But Pipi shrimps are not that troublesome. They can punch every time. Let the arctic sea monster suffer tons of damage. If the arctic sea monster hadn't had the characteristics of a mollusk, it would have been defeated long ago!
Orm watched the whole process from the big screen in the command room. He didn't panic at all when he saw that the sea monster on his side was at a disadvantage.
Although the Saltwater Kingdom is originally a sea monster force, this does not mean that they have many sea monsters.
On the contrary, from ancient times to the present, there have never been too many sea monsters in the Saltwater Kingdom.
There is no way, the resources required to tame and breed these sea monsters are too huge, and the living environment of the Saltwater Kingdom... is difficult enough to support their own population, let alone super sea monsters that are often hundreds of meters long!
Moreover, the Saltwater Kingdom follows tradition and the habit of raising sea monsters is still the same as it has been for thousands of years. It takes at least a hundred years to grow from a young age to adulthood, which means that for a sea monster to become combat effective, it consumes a very terrifying number of resources.
Their sea monsters in Atlantis are different.
Purely the product of genetic engineering, with various black technology bonuses, these sea monsters grow at an alarming rate, and of course their lifespan is extremely short. The resources required to cultivate such a giant beast are completely negligible compared to those in the Saltwater Kingdom!
Let's put it this way, if the exchange ratio between sea monsters was 10:1, Orm would be a little uncomfortable. But if it’s 5:1, then Aum can accept it. If it's 3:1, it's excellent. If it's 2:1, or 1:1, it's a huge profit!
So let alone being at a disadvantage, even if they all burped, Omu wouldn't feel any distress at all.
Just like it is now.
"All battleships... open fire!"
Following Orm's order, all the warships that could fire opened fire like a group of sea monsters!
They didn't take into account the fact that the arctic sea monster was on their side.
In fact, this was originally one of the purposes designed by the Extremely Cold Sea Monster.
Orm doesn't need the Nashiko extreme cold sea monster to really kill the enemy sea monster at all, he just needs to hold them back!
It is the battleship that resolves the battle!
Those extreme cold sea monsters were obviously controlled in some way. Even if they were bombarded by various naval guns, they still had no intention of evading or retreating. Instead, they bit more crazily at the saltwater kingdom sea monsters.
Orm's decisiveness startled the Saltwater Kingdom's sneak attack troops.
They originally planned to rely on their understanding of the dark waters and the power of the Lava Tidecallers (units similar to the Tide Sages and Sea Witches) to control the deep sea volcanic lava to give Atlantis and the Zebels a heads-up.
As a result, it seems that not only will he fail to steal the chicken, but he will also lose the rice!
These Pipi Shrimp Sea Monsters cannot die so easily!
So the Saltwater Kingdom immediately organized a retreat, especially the sea monsters! These sea monsters are important assets of the Saltwater Kingdom!
Orm didn't stop it, it was just a sneak attack on the troops, there could be as many people as there were.
What he wants is a decisive battle! He needs these people to bring news of this battle back to the Saltwater Kingdom and tell them that resistance is pointless!
…
Just as Orm was steadily moving towards the Saltwater Kingdom, preparing for a decisive battle.
Arthur was in trouble here.
Just when Arthur was about to step forward and take away Neptune's Trident.
A voice sounded in Arthur's ear.
"You! You don't belong here at all!"
Along with this sound, the flow of sea water immediately became abnormal, and the surrounding stone pillars and ruins began to vibrate.
Arthur turned his head and found that something seemed to be approaching in the deep water.
"The Trident...is only worthy of being touched by a true king! Those villains pretending to be kings are destined to fail! Karason...must protect the Trident until its true owner appears...Oh...this disgusting thief is not only not a king …He is even more of a pathetic mixed-race bastard!”
Boom boom!
A huge snake-like creature as big as a flying snake poked its head out of the darkness!
Is this Karasen?
