Chapter 182: Defeat
"Karathan!"
The giant beast Karathan, covered in a faint red light, had just emerged from the sea of blood, and as if he had seen an enemy, he roared and roared into the crowd.
"Be careful! It's been controlled by the enemy! ”
Arthur found himself unable to communicate with it, only to hear an indefatigable roar.
With the wave of its huge tentacles, a large clearing was directly cleared around it, and neither the sea beasts nor the brave warriors of Atlantis could resist it.
"Damn it!"
This is not war! This is a one-sided slaughter!
A giant beast that 10,000 people may not be able to deal with, let alone nearly a million of them here! Even if you can hit five or six heads, it's a drop in the bucket, and it's not useful at all.
Looking at the retreating army, Arthur despaired.
"Damn! It's terrible! ”
"Retreat! Fall back! The whole army retreats! ”
The trident was golden, and the huge amount of sea water flowed back wildly, making the giant beasts stagnate, although it could not completely stop them, but it could also delay the withdrawal of the army for a little time.
The army of Atlantis was already on the verge of despair, and as soon as they heard the signal to retreat, everyone hurriedly took advantage of this short gap and ran to the rear without looking back.
Arthur continued to stir the sea, constantly pounding the current, and slowly retreated, after all, the trident still can't control the ocean at will, if it can do this, it will not be difficult to defeat these enemies at all, even a giant beast like Karathan, compared to the vast and boundless sea, is just a firefly worm.
Under the control of the Trident, the remaining troops ran all the way and finally escaped from the enemy's pursuit, and the monsters chased them for more than fifty kilometers.
The three million army died and fled, and only 800,000 could be gathered together at this time, of which at least one million escaped without a trace, and the remaining army gathered under the light gate at this moment, and the ministers who learned of the defeat also hurried out.
"Hey...... Your Majesty, I said a long time ago that I should talk to them first. ”
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? If that group of monsters hits......"
"Go find my friends for help."
Aquaman thought about it and immediately replied.
"Your Majesty, are you talking about those human beings? An enemy that none of us in Atlantis can defeat, how can we ...... with those humans"
The ministers were already a little repulsed by their sudden appearance as the Sea King, and this defeat obviously made them even more dissatisfied, not to mention that the king of Atlantis in front of them actually said that he asked for help from humans, which was a great shame.
"Then tell me what you have in mind!"
Arthur had long been impatient with their self-proclaimed superiority.
"There will always be a way, but we shouldn't ask for help from the landers."
"Humph!"
Arthur snorted noncommittally, at this time, this group of old-fashioned old stubborns are still so annoying, I'm afraid that only when the blade is put on the neck, they will wake up.
Ask for help, he will definitely go, it is best to reduce casualties, what bullshit glory can still have a life?
Looking at the minister's dissatisfied look, Arthur felt that maybe he shouldn't be the king of the sea, what kind of royal prestige and glory, he didn't care at all, and it might be a good choice to let his younger brother Orm be the king.
…… Let's let Mae Ra stabilize these old guys first.
After making up his mind, Arthur turned and went straight to the palace.
"Hey...... In this way, he was defeated in only half a day, and the Sea King was just a reckless man on land after all. ”
The minister sighed, very dissatisfied with the Sea King's self-assertiveness, not only the army suffered huge casualties, but also hit the self-confidence of the Atlantean civilization, and the next battle would become very unfavorable.
After explaining everything to Mera, the queen of the sea, Arthur left Atlantis directly and went to seek the help of humans-superheroes, the ministers did not face the group of monsters, and did not really know the horror of the other party, with the power of Atlantis alone, it was almost impossible to win, they needed more and more powerful helpers.

The abnormality that happened on the bottom of the sea did not completely escape the monitoring of the S.H.I.E.L.D. aerospace aircraft carrier, and at this time, the entire command room was silent, although they could not see the battlefield completely, but part of the picture that came was enough for them to know the approximately.
"It's okay...... In order to monitor the sea of blood, a lot of underwater detectors were placed around, otherwise we would not have been able to detect it...... But...... That's a lot......"
In the command room, only Nick Fury was talking to himself intermittently, and judging from the few images that came around, the number of those behemoths was at least tens of thousands.
…… If they all washed ashore, it would be an unimaginable disaster, and Country M simply had the ability to fight against so many giant beasts at the same time, and now it only hoped that those water monkeys in Atlantis could cause enough damage to that group of monsters.
"Damn! Not an alien invasion! It's a monster invasion, can this day be over!? ”
"Maybe that sea of blood is their biological warship?"
"No, wouldn't it be able to multiply on its own."
The staff on the side had a whim, this statement made Nick Fury stunned, but if you think about it, it is really possible......
"It's important for us to find a way to find someone to contact at Atlantis, who has information that we want to know."
"Sir, then, do you have a candidate?"
Just entering the deep sea where the Atlanteans are hiding is enough to make most superheroes desperate, not to mention facing a large group of water monkeys that are very unfriendly to land people, and it is not possible to do without a certain amount of experience and diplomatic skills.
"Hmm...... Think about it. ”
The U.S. team is the best candidate, but now that the Avengers are seriously lacking in combat power, he really doesn't want to send the U.S. team out.
Thor, Iron Man, Ant-Man, Spider-Man, Black Panther, Falcon, and Wasp are only seven left, Black Widow, Hulk, and War Machine have been captured, most of them on that unknown island, and Hawkeye is still lying in a hospital bed.
Even if Hawkeye is fine, he will not be of great use for this incident, and may even be able to only play a role in Iron Man and Thor, and the others will not be very useful in their current performance.
Foreign aid......
Nick Fury tapped his fingers on the table, lost in thought.
…… There are indeed a few people with extraordinary strength, namely Aquaman Arthur, Superman, and Wonder Woman.
Superman doesn't think about it for the time being, Aquaman and Wonder Woman can, as for the mysterious magician, he has only just sent someone to contact him now, and he only knows that his strength is extraordinary.
"Let's go to Atlantis and send someone to find Wonder Woman Diana, and by the way, find someone to contact that Doctor Strange and see if they can be used by us."
