"Om!" Atlanna immediately wanted to step forward to stop her, but Om waved her hand, and a strong current rushed Atlanna towards the coalition formation. "Watch her!"
After all, Orm has been the king for twenty years, how can it be that no one is loyal to him. Not only that, but quite a few. After all, he really did a good job. A group of royal guards were dispatched to surround Atlanna in the middle, and several tide sages used their abilities to trap Atlanna so that she could not interfere with Orm's duel.
"Om!!! What are you going to do?!" As soon as Arthur saw that his mother was trapped, he immediately rushed forward and planned to save his mother. But as Arthur moved, Karasen also moved, Karasen moved, the sea monsters moved, the sea monsters moved, and the seafood that was attracted also moved!
Even those coalition soldiers who didn't want to fight immediately became nervous. They all raised their weapons. Although they lost their sea beast mounts, they would not sit still and wait for death. Besides, they still had many war vehicles, ranging from small carrier-based aircraft to frigates and large capital ships. If they really start fighting, they may not lose.
Seeing the reaction of the coalition forces, the Saltwater Kingdom's army, which lacked organization, immediately started moving in a chaotic manner!
Seeing that the war was about to break out, Mela quickly grabbed Arthur!
"Arthur! No! Have you forgotten our purpose?!"
Mela felt a headache. If Arthur was regarded as a pawn, his kind and impulsive personality was naturally a good thing and could be exploited. But if you think of him as a partner who could be considered an equal, this guy is undeniably terrible.
"But……"
"He is also the Queen's son. He cannot and does not dare to hurt the Queen!" Mela simply did not believe that Om dared to do anything to Atlanna. After all, Atlanna was sent to the Trench Clan in the name of being sacrificed to the Poseidon. Now that she is back alive, in the eyes of many people, that is the will of the Poseidon.
In addition, Atlanna was originally his biological mother, so no matter how angry she was, she would not do anything impulsive. After all, those who kill their relatives will be cursed by the sea god.
"Arthur! Don't hide behind women like a coward, stand up and face me!!!"
Arthur calmed down. Seeing this, Orm still didn't want to give up such dangerous ideas. Arthur knew that this man couldn't make sense. Fortunately, his hard life as a child made Arthur understand how to deal with those unreasonable bastards.
"Do you want blood? Okay! I'll give you blood!"
Arthur raised the Neptune Trident, and saw that the seafood he summoned scattered away, and the sea beasts of Atlantis and Zebel Knight also ran away, running towards freedom...
Seeing their mounts running away, the knights also felt helpless. These sea beasts are not caught randomly from the wild. They are sea beasts that have been cultivated through multiple generations of nurturing. Their ancestors in the wild have to be pushed forward for at least a thousand years. Nowadays, many sea beasts are no longer adapted to life in the wild. It needs to be fed by the Atlanteans.
So...they just got away with it!
But because of this, the coalition soldiers feared Arthur even more.
Since he can make the sea beast abandon the knight he has been with for many years, he can naturally make the sea beast bite back and kill his own knight.
"Only blood... can make the cry reach the gods!"
Arthur raised Neptune's trident and accepted the duel with a roar!
"Only blood... can make the voice reach the gods!" Orm said nothing, shouting the motto of duel before the gods and rushed towards Arthur.
Arthur didn't show any weakness. When he couldn't defeat Orm before, he didn't give in. Now he won't back down even more.
Like ancient knights, the two of them picked up their tridents and charged face to face without fear. The difference is that Orm rides his mosasaur, while Arthur rides on a Zebel sea dragon. Orm's Mosasaurus seems to have some strange abilities. It did not follow Arthur's orders and leave the battlefield like other sea beasts. Instead, it found its master and fought for its master again. (Zebel's sea dragon is actually a giant seahorse. The most handsome mount in the film, apart from Orm's mosasaurus, is a seahorse.)
boom!
The two eventually collided. The huge impact caused the surrounding seawater to explode, forming a huge impact that caused both of them to fly backwards from their mounts.
And their mounts were not to be outdone, biting each other crazily. The Mosasaurus was obviously better. It knocked Zebel Sea Dragon away with one head, and then bit the sea dragon's abdomen. Its huge mouth wanted to bite Zebel Sea Dragon into two pieces in one bite. If it weren't for Zebel's sea dragon, like the seahorse, its bones are outside the body and are very hard. That’s why he didn’t let the Mosasaurus succeed.
Zebel Hailong will suffer a lot at this point.
Although Zebell's Seadragon looks like a seahorse, it looks like a solid carnivore to others. Their mouthparts are somewhat similar to turtles and birds. It is a bony beak and has a strong bite force. This makes Zebell's Seadragon Its mouth is like a hydraulic pliers. Once it takes a bite, not to mention flesh and blood, even steel will be bitten off.
But the difference in size was there. Zebel's Sea Dragon did bite the Mosasaurus a few times, but the missing pieces of meat were neither painful nor itchy for the Mosasaurus' huge body. It's not a serious injury at all.
Soon Zebel the sea dragon was killed by the mosasaur.
On the other side, Arthur was also at a disadvantage. Orm has lived in the sea since birth, while Arthur has lived on land. Arthur's water nature and ability to control water are indeed very magical in the eyes of land people, but to Orm, it's just that.
After a few hits, Arthur was beaten to a disadvantage.
But Arthur was not stupid. He knew his disadvantage, so after struggling to force Orm back, he swam toward the sea as quickly as possible.
On the contrary, Orm has not thought about this. In his understanding, Arthur is definitely not his opponent. So when Arthur swam toward the water, he simply regarded him as running away. In order to capture Arthur, Orm summoned his mount. With the Mosasaurus, Arthur's speed would make it impossible to escape.
So Arthur seized the opportunity! It took time for the mosasaurus to get to Orm.
In the previous war, an Atlantis cruiser was damaged. In order to save its life, the cruiser could only float up and leave the battlefield. Now the battleship is floating on the water. Arthur rushed out of the water with his front feet and landed on the battleship. The next second the Mosasaurus jumped out of the sea, and Orm jumped from it to the cruiser.
"Where else are you going to run?" Om held up his father's ancestral trident, unable to suppress the murderous intent in his eyes.
If it is said that Orm had indeed softened his heart before and wanted to let Arthur live. He did indeed do this, otherwise there would not have been so few people chasing Mela and Arthur.
But now, whether it's for the grudges of the previous generation or for my own ambitions. There was no way Orm would let Arthur go.
"Run? No! I just want to let you see the sunshine for the last time. This is the only thing I can do for you, brother."
As he spoke, Arthur raised Neptune's Trident, and a golden light rose into the sky. The storm that had been raging on the sea suddenly stopped, and the dark clouds gradually dispersed, and a ray of sunlight shot down from between the clouds. The sky turned into layers of golden color, just like the waves of wheat swinging in the autumn wind, it was so beautiful.
For a moment, Orm was distracted by the sight in front of him.
It was also at this time that Arthur waved the trident with both hands, and the golden light on the artifact transformed into countless phantoms. Then the sea surface that had calmed down began to surge out of thin air. Drops of sea water were attracted from the sea and converged towards Arthur. Soon a thin wall of water formed in front of him.
Aum regained his composure: "Brother...this is what I want to say, let you die in the sun!"
After speaking, Orm kicked his feet hard, and the cruiser under his feet sank suddenly. A dent appeared in the shell of the cruiser. His body was like a swordfish, and he shot towards Arthur with a whoosh.
boom!
His trident hit the water wall and was bounced away hard. Om seems to be opposed by an entire ocean! There is no way to resist!
The moment he was ejected, Arthur threw the Neptune Trident fiercely while it was still spinning!
The rotating trident was like a golden Frisbee, flying hard towards Orm's head!
Seeing that he was about to be hit, Orm immediately raised his trident to block!
Click! Bang!
But the moment his trident touched Neptune's trident, his trident shattered!
All that's left is the remains of what I'm holding in my hand...
Without waiting for Orm to react, Arthur jumped into the air and grabbed the rebounding Neptune Trident. When he landed, he aimed the tip of the trident at Orm's throat!
Seeing that their king was about to lose his life, the king's guards immediately raised their weapons and rushed towards Arthur. But before they could get close, a stream of water spurted out from the sea, like a living sea dragon, washing away the guards in one fell swoop!
"Stop! This is a sacred duel before God! Do you want to violate Poseidon's commandments?!!"
There are actually no rules for dueling in front of gods. When two people duel, there are no restrictions on any means, even poison and underhand tricks are allowed. The outcome of a duel before the gods is the will of the gods. Anyone who wins the duel is regarded as the god's choice.
But there are no rules, and there are some taboos. For example, it is expressly forbidden for other people to interfere in the duel between two people in front of the gods!
"Om, you lose!" Arthur originally wanted to kill Orm.
After all, there was no relationship between them at all. Orm was just an enemy to him. Many people he knew died in the attacks he launched, and his hometown Cien Port was completely destroyed! He swore that he would pay with blood.
But just when he was about to take action, he relented.
He didn't feel that it was because of his blood relationship. He just...for his mother. In any case, his mother is innocent, and he is unwilling to let his mother go through the pain of losing a son. So in the end he decided to give Orm a chance: "Swear to Poseidon and the gods! You will never, never start another war!"
But Orm didn't appreciate it at all: "You want me to bow down to a bastard? Don't even think about it!"
Aum is like a gambler who has lost all his money and wants to make it back. He will definitely admit defeat!
no way!
At this time, more and more Atlantis troops surfaced, and they saw that their king was defeated!
In a duel before God!
Many loyal soldiers wanted to rescue their king, but their plans were soon frightened by Karason who emerged from the sea.
Karason's small body was half out of the water, and it was already like a mountain. Atlanteans had to raise their heads as hard as they could to see the top of its head! Beside it, several tens of meters of tentacles stretched out from the sea, constantly stirring the surrounding seawater to form vortexes.
Everything pales in comparison to this behemoth.
This puts many people off.
"Om! According to the rules of duel before gods, you lost. This is the decision of Poseidon!" Mela said to Aum.
If before, Mela hoped to oust Orm from the throne as soon as possible, then now, she needs Orm to stay on the throne.
Because only in this way will the Kingdom of Atlantis fall into internal strife. This is beneficial to Zebel.
The Neptune Trident and Karason destroyed the balance of power between the two countries, and she must ensure that the Kingdom of Xebel does not fall too far behind Atlantis in the future. She needed to find something to do in the kingdom of Atlantis.
If Orm dies, then according to the law, there is no doubt that Arthur will be the only heir to the throne. In this way, the hearts of the people in the Kingdom of Atlantis will naturally gather together.
That's not good.
But Orm survived, if nothing else, ensuring that a large group of people would oppose Arthur's succession to the throne.
Even if there is a law, Arthur's bloodline is a flaw. For many Atlanteans, being ruled by a half-breed mongrel was a difficult thing to accept. Even if this hybrid got the Neptune Trident and was the Queen's eldest son, it wouldn't change this situation.
They may not resist so fiercely.
But there are many ways to resist. Rebellion does not mean rebellion with open swords and guns.
For nobles, there are many ways to make people look bad, such as being obedient, cheating, duplicity, etc. As long as Orm is still alive, it can give hope to those who oppose it, and a pure-blooded prince will be the king. Inheritance is preferred.
With this flag here, I am not afraid that no one will resist Arthur.
"You must show the magnanimity of a king. Have you forgotten what you said in the throne room before? You promised that as long as Arthur defeats you, everything will stop!"
Orm sneered and said: "Really? But how can I remember that I won the last duel before the gods! This bastard only escaped from my hands when some people broke the rules and intervened in the duel before the gods... Need I remind you what happened then? What? Madam!"
After saying that, Aum didn't bother to look at these two-faced women.
Now Orm finally sees one thing clearly. His allies seem to have their own plans from the beginning.
Nereus was on his side, but Mela was on Arthur's side.
Betting on both sides...guaranteed profit without loss.
