Aum is in a bad mood!

Of course, since Vico publicly announced his support for Arthur, he has not been in a good mood, and his heart is clouded every day.

But when Arthur's voice rang in his ears, and he was sure that the whole king could hear it, he could not hold back and rushed to the gate bridge with his guards.

As a king, he is not afraid of challengers, and the presence of these challengers allows him to consolidate his authority as a king.

But Arthur is clearly different, he is not affected by the order that Orm has constructed, and directly establishes his majesty among the common people.

Orm realizes that once his image as an arbiter between the upper and lower echelons fails, he will have to choose one side to support it, and Atlantis will also fall into civil strife and no longer have the ability to wage war on land.

"What's going on here?"

Aum crossed the gate bridge with the entire personal guard, and slowly descended from above, and the sea beast mounts full of brilliance and strange shapes instantly lit up everyone's faces.

His voice reached everyone's ears through a loudspeaker, and the news of the king's arrival began to spread back, but the crowd did not fall silent.

It wasn't this that made Orm upset the most, but the protesters all gathered around Arthur, apparently thinking of him as someone who could fight for his rightful rights.

"Those damn bastards!"

After listening to the report of the gatekeeper, Orm cursed hatefully in his heart: "When did I give the order to block the gate bridge?" You have taken it upon yourself to drive out the commoners, and where have you put the king and the officials? ”

The gatekeeper looked stunned, these unspoken rules have been circulating for I don't know how many years, he has seen his predecessors praised by the king several times, how can he become a sin when it is his turn?

Orm didn't care what a gatekeeper thought, and in order to cut off Arthur from the low-level civilians, he simply and rudely announced to everyone that it was all the self-inflicted initiative of the bastard officers in the garrison, and the king had never given such an order. Then all the soldiers and officers involved in the matter were to be dragged out and beheaded.

Ian looked at this good show, and laughed and mocked: "The so-called magic weapon of the king's governance is 'dare not be the first in the world', let the people below play by themselves, and it is naturally the king's credit to do a good job, and the king can also be deduced to be the execution of the bottom when he breaks into trouble, anyway, he has no formal order!" ”

Of course, Vico is an old fritter in officialdom, and in fact he is also a beneficiary of this, if Orm dares to be the first in the world, then it is impossible for him to keep the people of the Atlanta faction.

And Mera was relatively young, looking at this scene, she waved her fist and said: "This is because everyone is like this, the underwater kingdom will be lifeless, and it will not progress as fast as on land." ”

"So, we can't let Orm just let this matter go easy!"

Seeing Ian's confident appearance, Mera was silent for a moment, but nodded in support.

She knew that Ian didn't have any thoughts about Atlantis, or that the world that this land man wanted was too vast, and Atlantis, which was sitting on the seven seas, was too small compared to it.

Vico watched this scene and opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything, he had already come to this point, and he couldn't just give up Arthur.

At least Ian will enter a new world in Atlantis, Vico comforts himself with this.

Ian closed his eyes, and the three scales suspended around him began to flicker regularly, and Arthur, who had no reaction, suddenly swam in front of Orm and stopped: "Wait, I don't think these gatekeepers deserve such a severe punishment." Compared to the lowest performers, the others are at fault. ”

Orm was very dissatisfied with Arthur's intervention to interrupt his behavior, and he scolded: "This is an internal matter of Atlantis, you as an outsider are not qualified to interfere in these matters, leave immediately." ”

"I'm the son of Atlanta, your half-brother, and a member of the Atlantean royal family, why am I not qualified?"

Although Arthur was very unhappy with the Atlantean royal family, looking at the blood in his body made Orm even more unhappy, and he was not so repulsive about his background.

If it is on land, even those countries that still retain the royal family will not hand over political power to others because of any blood. But in Atlantis, the majesty of the royal family remains, and people like Arthur are born with the power to participate in politics.

It is impossible for Aum to deny this in public, otherwise he would be denying the majesty of the royal family in disguise. This kind of scandal about genitals can be dug everywhere as long as it wants to, as long as there is a hint of it, it can pull out a lot of things from the wind.

So, he had to listen to Arthur's opinion and asked coldly: "You said that other people are at fault, who are these other people?" ”

Arthur doesn't care about Orm's attempt to command him with a king's gesture, as long as the other party doesn't force him to shut up.

He said frankly: "The commanders of the officers and soldiers guarding the gate have made a big mistake, and I see that the officers and soldiers who drove away the civilians this time are skillful, and it is obviously not the first time that they have done this kind of thing.

Doesn't the commander of the army guarding the gate know about this kind of ruin of the majesty of the royal family? Or do you not report to the king or rectify your subordinates when you know about it? Whatever the case may be, this is a great dereliction of duty! ”

Arthur's stick was struck, and Orm's men all looked at him angrily, and Orm was in a dilemma.

The army was the king's basic plate, and it would be more of a problem for Orm to punish just a few junior officers and soldiers than to cut his nails, but to punish them for driving civilians away for no reason would be a big problem.

These mid-level officers and generals are not going to support a king who can't protect himself!

"This trick is really ruthless!"

Orm took a deep look at Arthur.

If he protects the army, it is equivalent to losing the support of the low-level civilians, and the kingdom is at risk of civil strife. But if he chooses to support the civilians, the generals in the army will start to waver, and they will not be able to start a war on the ground in a short time.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, Arthur would ponder for a while at Orm, who had launched an attack on him, and finally said angrily, "Then what do you want to do?" Remove all these veteran generals who have been serving since before our mother's birth? ”

Throw the question at Arthur, whoever he supports, Orm just needs to choose which side to support.

It's not the best choice, but it's the only choice Orm can make, he can't show his attitude on the spot, Arthur is a barefoot poor barehead who can do whatever he wants, he's a king, and he has to focus on the big picture.

Arthur was silent for a while, his ears moved, as if he was listening to something, and then he said calmly: "I don't mean to question anyone, nor do I want to compete with you for the throne, but I am just saddened to see the kingdom that my mother has worked so hard to run like this."

If you have to ask me what to do, my opinion is to reform the system of guarding the gate bridge army, and this kind of thing cannot be allowed to happen again! ”

Orm noticed a twist on Arthur's face when he mentioned the word "mother", and although it disappeared in an instant, it still made him realize that these words were not Arthur's intention.

The late-aware, or rather haughty, king, was finally willing to lower his noble head and look down, only to realize that his true enemy was Ian from land.

Orm didn't say a word, but his eyes almost spewed fire to burn the villain who was plotting the conspiracy behind the scenes to ashes.

But Ian didn't care, just showed his big white fangs.

Orm finally found his enemy, but he didn't have a seizure, just angrily said to Arthur, "Since you say you're for Atlantis, do it!" But if it's not done properly, I'll remember what you said today. Also, your father is a guest in the palace, let Vico take you! ”

After Orm finished speaking, regardless of Arthur's answer, he turned around with his guards and returned to the bridge, and when he left, he forgot about the punishment, and completely removed himself from the matter.

"You guys!"

Arthur waved his trident and pointed at the soldiers who had almost been beheaded, and ordered, "Keep up the work, guide everyone into the gate bridge, and don't do any more ghosts." ”

"Yes, Arthur!"

Led by the officer, the soldiers saluted Arthur and completely acknowledged the existence of this prince. Then, in the midst of the cheers of the crowd, Arthur was surrounded by the crowd and walked into the door bridge again.

"How does it feel?"

When the crowd disperses and Arthur returns, he is met with Ian's questioning.

"It's nice to be embraced, but I'm tired of saying a word to Orm!"

Arthur told the truth.

Ian smiled and said, "Then you have to get used to this feeling quickly, I can't solve these problems for you every time." ”

"But are you sure you want me to meddle with Orm's army, and we're not here to duel?"

"Duels are only means, the real purpose is to prevent war. You don't care about the throne anyway, and it's okay to try the other way. ”

"Okay!"

Arthur was much more relaxed in front of Ian, and everyone walked to the palace under the leadership of Vico, and soon met Tom.

The two fathers and sons went to remember Atalana, while Ian found a room to get acquainted with Orm's forces and deal with some Justice League matters under Vico's introduction.

Back in the palace hall, Aum's anger erupted directly, and countless seawater was compressed into a ball by him, making a thumping explosion in the hall.

"I told you a long time ago that Ian is not only strong in force, but he will suffer a lot if you underestimate him!"

Vandal's voice sounded, and he was still a virtual image.

"Then carry out your plan and drive the cunning land-man away. As long as there is no one left, Arthur will not be my opponent at all. ”

"As you wish, Your Majesty!"

In the midst of the busyness, the time came to the middle of the night, and although Atlantis was at the bottom of the sea, it had the same time as the ground, creating some kind of light source similar to the artificial sun and geothermal luminescence, and the time would be adjusted by some kind of device.

Arthur was still worried about Orm's small movements, so he took Tom and Ian to live in the same room.

"The view from the bottom of the sea is not bad!"

Ian stood in front of the watery window, looked at the dimming royal capital, and let out a sigh of admiration.

Although the royal capital of Atlantis was built on the remains of the old world, after a long period of transformation by the Atlanteans, the remains of those stone buildings have been filled with the remains of modified glowing plants and animals, and even without artificial light sources and geothermal heat, the plants that glow in the dark outline the entire structure of Atlantis.

"But there are always people who want to break this peace, I really don't know what they are for?" Arthur watched his dad fall asleep before coming to Ian's side.

"This is the sin of false freedom."

"I don't think so."

An unfamiliar voice interrupted Ian, and the door to the room was kicked open, and two doors made of coral and microbial shells flew towards Ian, who waved his hand and flew straight out.

"Vandal Savage!"

Ian looked at the tall figure standing at the door, although the other party was wearing a submarine, he still recognized the identity of the other party from the glass helmet, and said with a smile: "I have long known that you will not let Atlantis go, but you yourself came to the bottom of the sea, is the Illuminati now so short of manpower?" ”

"Then thanks to the Justice League for their relentless pursuit of us, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have to risk my life!"

Vandal was calm.

Ian shook his head and said, "You deserve this fate for Steppenwolf to provide information." Say, what do you want to do by showing up? ”

"It's a young man, and he doesn't have any patience at all."

Vandal shook his head with a smile and then said; "I want you to get out of the ocean and let the brothers Arthur and Orm decide the throne themselves!"

Ian turned to Arthur and said regretfully, "It seems that our attempt today failed, and Orm finally chose war!" ”

After he finished speaking, he immediately rushed out, three dragon scales surrounded him, and his body merged into the seawater, instantly grabbing the Vandal at the door, but the other party's body instantly turned into a puddle of liquid, polluting the surrounding seawater.

"Clones?"

Ian sealed off the unidentified liquids and watched as another Vandal appeared not far outside the door.

He said to Arthur, "Vandal is trying to lure me in with these clones."

"Then you have to be careful." Arthur guarded his father.

"No, it's you who have to be careful. The Illuminati will get me into trouble at best, but you'll have to face Orm alone. ”

Ian looked at Vandal as he approached and said, "Since Orm wants a disgraceful end, then I'll fulfill him and follow their plan." Most importantly, I also wanted to know what the Illuminati were up to. If you don't arrest these guys, you don't know when they're going to come out and give us a knife. ”

Arthur nodded, looking at the pitch-black royal capital, and finally nodded.
