"Damn bastard, you actually did it to my dad!"

Arthur looked at the hung up phone, instantly let out a lion-like roar, and with a slight force in his hand, he directly pinched the phone into a ball of scrap metal.

"It seems to be a step too late! We had arranged for all of the Justice League members to have a family protection plan, but we didn't expect them to do so quickly. ”

Ian frowned.

"How can I blame you for this?" Arthur was pulled out of his anger by Ian's words and said, "It's all Orm's bastard's fault. It was I who was blinded by past experience and completely forgot that Atlantis would ignore our efforts for Vico. ”

Ian put his hand on Arthur's shoulder and said seriously, "You are now a member of the Justice League, so the League has the responsibility to ensure the safety of you and your family, there is nothing to say." ”

Arthur calmed down completely, and he said to Ian, "Orm took my father for the throne, then he will definitely contact me next." I need help from the Alliance. ”

"No problem, I will never sit idly by and watch this kind of behavior that threatens the families of alliance members!"

Ian nodded without hesitation and agreed to Arthur's request.

But then he asks another key question: "What about Vico and his army?" ”

"Now is not the time for another war."

Arthur was clear-headed.

"Aum is pressing step by step, the only purpose is to find a suitable excuse for him to declare war on land, I will not give him this opportunity."

Ian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, what he feared most was that Arthur's brain was hot, and he rushed to the deep sea with the Atlantean army, so that Orm could launch the Atlantean army with the order to suppress the rebellion.

And once the war starts, it will not be limited to a few people, and with the scale of Atlantis, it will inevitably involve all the land countries.

Ian is not at all afraid of Orm and his army, but the Justice League, which has just taken out the Steppenwolf fleet, is not suited to face another war, which will only greatly diminish their prestige.

"You'd better go to Vico and Mera, they are familiar with the situation at the bottom of the sea and can provide useful information even without using the military."

Arthur nodded in agreement.

"Master Xuan Yizi, then I'll leave first!"

Ian said goodbye to Xuan Yizi.

"Remember, hold on to your heart. And the stone you gave me, if anything comes out, I'll tell you in time. ”

Xuan Yizi felt that she actually had nothing to teach Ian, so she had to give her experience to the young leader as much as possible.

Ian nodded, and led Arthur to the surface part of the Hall of Justice, where he teleported to the flagship of the Atlantis fleet through the mother box.

Boom！

Vico and Mera were discussing with the fleet commanders what to do next, when they suddenly heard the sound of the pop channel opening, and pulled out their weapons in response.

"I'm Ian, and Arthur, don't be so nervous!"

Ian's voice came out of the tunnel before the nervous Atlantean generals took their fingers off the trigger.

When he and Arthur were fully revealed, Vico waved the generals down their weapons and said to them:

"You can come to the fleet through normal channels!"

Ian glanced at Arthur to speak, after all, he was the one who would inherit the throne of Atlantis, and he needed to establish his authority among these generals.

Arthur understood, walked directly to Vico's position, and said:

"We're in a very difficult situation right now, Aum sent a human mercenary to take my father to Atlantis."

The generals had already seen Arthur's abilities in the war, and at this moment they were filled with righteous indignation:

"It's worthy that the son of that traitor of Ovacus did such a thing to tarnish the honor of Atlantis."

"Is it really the first time Orm has contacted people on the ground? I think he planned the attacks from the ground in the past! ”

"To drag the whole of Atlantis into the whirlpool of war for his own selfish interests, Orm is not worthy of being a king at all."

In the face of the righteous indignation of the generals, Arthur's face remained as usual, and he did not show any special reaction to their support for him. They all meant the same thing, that is, they hoped that Arthur could fight back as soon as possible and seize the throne.

Arthur could understand the thoughts of these people, for whom the land was not a place to belong, and even if the coalition was a good platform, they could not feel at ease without Atlantis.

"I don't need much of a response from the military."

Arthur still insisted on his decision, his determined gaze swept over everyone in the room, and said in a deep voice: "What Orm expects is for me to lead the fleet back, so that he can start the war logically. I would never drive the soldiers of the fleet to a bloody war for the sake of my own family. ”

The general was very unhappy with this decision, and then they heard Arthur say: "Since you recognize me as your king, then I am responsible for the entire citizens of Atlantis, and do not let them be involved in a war that is bound to lose because of Orm's selfishness." ”

Speaking of this, the generals in the room couldn't help but look at Ian on the side, although he never spoke, no Atlantean really dared to ignore this young man.

The generals were impressed by Ian's prowess in battle, and although they were not sure of their opponent's strength at sea, Atlantis was certain to lose on land.

And that's just Ian, not counting the Justice League and the army of Paradise Island. This is also the reason why Vico's fleet firmly supports Arthur.

With the support of the Justice League, Aum has invaded the land! These generals are not fools, and certainly do not risk their lives for a battle that must be lost.

"I will return to Atlantis with Vico and Princess Mera, during which the fleet will be under orders from the coalition command and will not act at will."

"We all obey the orders of His Highness Arthur, and never give Orm any chance!"

The generals finally accepted Arthur's orders, and one by one they all expressed their intentions, and then left the flagship and returned to their ships to deliver the orders.

"So what are we going to do next?"

Vico knew that Arthur had reached an agreement with Ian, and did not express his opinion directly.

Ian came to Arthur's side and explained, "Our plan is simple, peace talks! Forcing Orm to compete with Arthur for the throne in a way that returns to tradition. ”

Mera was a little more direct, and she said unceremoniously: "I didn't expect you to be so naïve, so Aum doesn't care about any traditions." The moment we return to Atlantis, he will simply use the army to capture us and put us to death. ”

"And that's exactly what I was hoping for."

Ian ignores Mera's sarcasm: "Even Orm could not have told the people of Atlantis directly that he had invaded the land to wash away the royal scandal, simply for his ambition to conquer the world and expand his power."

In order for the Atlanteans to join the war willingly, he had to create a plausible illusion that would be used to provoke anger and discourage people from thinking about the consequences of the war. ”

"A lie is a building with an unstable foundation, no matter how shiny it looks on the surface, if you poke it lightly, the edifice of lies will collapse in an instant. Arthur's appearance was such an opportunity, when he defied his own propaganda once, and the seeds of suspicion were planted in the hearts of the people, and then took root and sprouted, completely overthrowing his rule. ”

"You have a point." Mera was a little unhappy with Ian's decision to take the throne so openly, and then said:

"But you still ignore one of the most important issues, and that is the strength of Aum, who did not rely on rhetoric to secure his current position."

"You underestimated Arthur, and you underestimated me."

Ian didn't want to argue with his mouth on the issue.

While they were talking, a message interrupted them.

"Your Highness, Your Excellency Advisor, Mr. Ian, we have received a call from the royal capital."

Vico looked at Ian and Arthur, and seeing that they had no opinion, he said, "Take the call." ”

"Vico, Mera! And two other people I don't know, who of you is Arthur Curry, my half-brother! ”

Orm's figure appears through Atlantis' communication technology, forming his form in front of everyone with seawater, similar to a holographic projection.

"It's me."

Arthur stood up decisively, he looked the projection up and down, shook his head, and said, "You really disappointed me, Orm! I heard Vico say that you grew up with your mother, but I didn't expect you to do the shameless act of threatening me with your family. What did you learn from your mother? ”

"You resemble your father, and he questioned me like that."

Orm waved his hand, and Tom's figure also appeared in the projection: "If you have the guts, then come to the king of Atlantis to see me, I promise you, I will never hurt your father." ”

Without giving Arthur a chance to say anything more, he unilaterally cut off the communication.

Ian said to Arthur, who was looking at him:

"There's nothing to talk about. Let's go now, and the sooner this matter is resolved, the better. ”

……

Atlantis, the hall of the royal palace.

Aum looked at Tom, who was escorted in by the black manta ray, and stepped down from the throne and came to him.

The trident swayed, and all the water in the palace hall was drained outward, creating a waterless zone in an instant.

"Open his armor!"

The manta rays did so and removed Tom's wetsuit.

"Tom Curry?"

Orm looked the human up and down, with a look of disappointment in his eyes: "You are worse than I thought, I really don't know how my mother could have married an ordinary human like you and gave birth to a mongrel." ”

"You're Orm?"

Tom looked at the son that his rival had forced his wife to give birth to, and unexpectedly found that he was in a calm mood.

"To be honest, I used to think about what I would say to you on the way here, but now, I find myself with nothing to say to you, because you are a stranger to me. It's pointless to be mad at a stranger for you! ”

Tom's calmness angered Orm, and he held the trident's hand with a protruding tendon, and said in a low voice, "Because of you, a lowly terrestrial man, my mother was exiled to the Trench Clan and lost her life, don't you have a sense of shame?" ”

"Is there really something wrong with her?"

Tom had a sad look on his face.

"Looks like you already knew about it, and it was Vico who told you?" Orm felt that the ground man in front of him was really hateful to the extreme.

Tom calmly replied, "I'm an ordinary person, not a fool. Aside from Atalana's accident, I don't know of anything else that could have cut off contact with Arthur and Vico as completely. ”

Thinking of the woman who suddenly appeared in his life decades ago, Tom lowered his head, and the sentimentality instantly blurred in his heart, making him feel powerless.

Knowing the bad news of his lover was by no means an easy thing for Tom, but he still suppressed this emotion, looked at Orm and asked, "Do you think Atlanta's death was because of me and Arthur?" ”

"Isn't it, if she hadn't been united with someone like you, she wouldn't have been exiled, and certainly wouldn't have been killed." Orm slammed the trident to the ground, and the entire palace shook, spreading towards the capital of Atlantis.

Tom doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with him, and there is free love between Atalana and him, without any interference.

But he didn't think that someone like Orm could understand what "freedom" was, so he only asked, "As the son of Atlanta, can you be worthy of your mother if you kidnap your family and threaten your opponent?" ”

"I was wrong!"

Aum looked at the lander's eloquent appearance and said, "At least you are very bold, not everyone can keep you so calm in front of the king, and even want to challenge my majesty." I'm looking forward to meeting your son, and when the time comes, we'll know who is the true owner of Atlantis? ”

Although Tom is not a top student, he has read a lot of books in order to train his son, and he is speechless about Orm, a feudal prince who "regards the country as home".

"At least my son won't command his people to die for the sake of his own emotions."

"Shut up, Tom Curry. I won't hurt you, because I'm going to make that half-breed bastard taste defeat in front of the people he cares about most. ”

Orm waved his hand to open the communication, and after finishing the battle letter, he asked the black manta ray to hand him over to the guards outside the door.

When the manta ray left, Orm connected to Vandal again, and looking at the Eternal, he said straight to the point, "How do you want to work with me?" Say it in advance, I won't listen to other people's orders. ”

Vandal smiled confidently, "You won't regret it, Your Majesty. The Illuminati will be your strongest backing, and it won't be long before you'll be glad you made the right choice. ”

Orm was unimpressed by Vandal's self-aggrandizement: "I don't need to say big things, I just look at the results." Now let's talk about what to do with Arthur and his friends, shall we? ”

"My men have detected that Ian is on his way to the Underwater Capital with Arthur and your mentor and ex-fiancée. As long as the core of the Justice League is solved, the rest of the people will not be able to form a joint force......"
