Chapter 173 If You Want War, I Will Give You War!
I have to say that Vico's guess was very accurate, and that's exactly what Nessans thought.
When he walked into Atlanna's house arrest room, Atlanna probably guessed something.
"Have you made an agreement with Orm?"
Nessance is an unsmiling man, he seems to have always been so cold and hard.
He did not deny Atlanna's suspicion, but simply admitted it.
"Yes, your son promised me that Atlantis would form an offensive and defensive alliance with Saint Bell.
Now he has lost on the surface battlefield, but the alliance between you and me cannot be invalidated.
In a monarchy, it is very common for one emperor to have one minister. However, Nessance did not want to accept this unspoken rule.
This made Atlanna a little suspicious: "Have you recently...had any military operations?~"
Nissance didn't answer her this time, but this made Atlanna's heart sink.
She warned: "The king of Atlantis is Arthur now. Under his leadership, Atlantis will never accompany you to fall into the abyss of war again!"
Nessance just sneered and looked at her meaningfully: "Then let's wait and see."
Atlanna's heart skipped a beat, no matter what, she was a hostage!
Nessance quickly ordered his men to bring a message to Arthur. When the man had already set off, he remembered that he had to put his troubled daughter under house arrest to prevent her from doing bad things.
But when he went to look for someone, he found that Mera was no longer in his room.
He reached out and grabbed a follower: "Where is Mera?"
The man replied: "I don't know, Princess Mera often disappears and reappears for no reason, and we can't keep track of her movements.
Nereus put him back, thinking that Mera and Atlanna were old, and he already had some guesses in his mind.
"Mera, I hope you don't forget that you are a Zebel..."
Atlantis.
For the first time, Arthur sat in the throne room because someone told him that an envoy from the Kingdom of Saint Bel was coming to see him.
The visitor was wearing a retro-style chainmail, which was Zelbel's traditional style.
"So, you are the new king of Atlan? The half-blood?"
When all the soldiers present heard this, they suddenly became excited.
"How dare you speak to the king like that!"
Two guards even tried to rush up and capture him for the crime of disrespect.
The envoy was a little surprised. No, he heard that the new king Arthur was not popular among the people, so he used this arrogant attitude to try to suppress the other party's momentum.
But why don't the soldiers in front of me look like they are protecting the Lord?
He was a little frightened.
He didn't know that because Arthur had punished "Shark King" Nanawi earlier, at the moment his strength had been recognized by the Atlan military.
He even gained the favor of the parliament for stopping Task Force X's conspiracy in time.
Among the public, relying on the filter of dreams, his reputation is pretty good.
Although he no longer has a 100% support rate as his popularity decreases, the goodwill hidden in the hearts of the people at the moment is the most stable cornerstone of his throne.
So the messenger from Zebel was completely in the wrong direction.
But Arthur raised his hand to stop the guards, his expression calm and intimidating.
"Our country's Queen Atlanna visited your country some time ago. How is she doing now?"
The messenger was a little more restrained this time, but he came with a mission. Thinking of that mission, he couldn't help but have a headache.
Judging from the current situation, if he told the truth, he might be torn into pieces on the spot.
But he could only bite the bullet and said: "The queen of your country is currently visiting our country. Our king said:
If the new king of Atlan is willing to recognize the offensive and defensive alliance agreement signed by the former king and our country, then Queen Atlanna will naturally send it back intact..."
This is a threat! Anyone present who is not a fool can hear it.
The anger in Arthur's heart could no longer be contained. He held the golden trident next to the throne with his right hand and controlled the water flow to instantly catch the messenger in front of him.
Huge amounts of water pressure made the messenger's face blurry, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had been lifted into the air by Arthur.
Arthur looked at him with fierce eyes: "You want to know my answer?"
After saying that, he thrust the trident into the messenger's chest.
"That's my answer!"
He held the trident in one hand and moved forward, pushing the messenger's body back to the place where he had just stood.
"Throw the body to the remaining messengers and tell them that Atlan will take back our things in his own way!"
The guards were very excited when they heard this. As simple soldiers, they liked this very much.
To deal with any enemy who dares to offend, you must respond with the most violent counterattack!
"Send the order and have all the troops prepare for war!"
The first order Arthur issued when he sat on the throne was to declare war on Zebel!
This is a result that no one expected.
There was a huge quarrel in the noble council. Who could have expected this? Who could have expected it?
They had just changed their impression of Arthur, and this guy came here.
"Does he want to use force to force all kingdoms to surrender to Atlan? This is too anxious!"
People still don't understand the truth, and Arthur chooses to fight foreign countries in order to secure his throne.
This is also a trick often used by the Western feudal system. Orm, the former king of Atlantis, also thought so, but he failed.
I originally thought Orm was reckless enough, but I didn't expect Arthur to be even more reckless.
Did he figure out how many divisions Atlanta had? He issued this order.
In Arthur's room, Vico was also doing crazy damage to Arthur.
"Are you fucking crazy? Why are you declaring war? What's the difference between you and Orm?"
Vico was furious. To hell with all the aristocratic demeanor!
…Please give me flowers…
Arthur was also angry and yelled at Vico: "That old guy dares to catch my mother, then he will die! What did I do wrong?"
"Even if this is the case, you should seek diplomatic reconciliation first...
"Reconciliation is nothing!" Arthur snorted disdainfully.
Vico was so angry that his veins were beating, but it wasn't like he couldn't understand Arthur's mood, so he could only try to persuade him.
"Arthur, Zebel and Atlan are friends from generation to generation. Even if Nessance puts Atlanna under house arrest, he will not harm her.
On the contrary, in order to ensure that he continues the agreement with you as the king of the previous generation, he will try his best to protect her. "
"But now that you have rashly declared war, Atlanna has completely become a hostage. It is difficult to guarantee the safety of the hostages.
"He dares!" Arthur roared.
Vico began to feel a headache again. Whether he dared or not was not the important point. It was whether he could!
"If you are worried about Atlanna, I can be your hostage."
.......0
Just when they wanted to continue arguing, Mera suddenly came in from the door.
Vico opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Arthur flatly refused: "I will never trade with innocent people!"
These words made Mera look at him with admiration. Maybe Atlanna was right, he did have some kingly aura, but this was far from enough.
A qualified king will not act on impulse, let alone start a war lightly.
At this time, Dane suddenly appeared in the room.
He came and went without a trace, and the entire Atlantis now had almost no defense against him.
Vico frowned secretly, but he didn't say anything.
What he didn't know was that Dane had downloaded Cortana's true form into their Atlan's central processing system.
Although the system is not binary, it is not a problem for Cortana, who has evolved and upgraded many times.
Now the entire Atlanta network is basically in Dane's hands.
It's hard to hide everything here from him.
"Arthur, are you mobilizing the army?"
"That's right!" Arthur then told Dane what had just happened.
After hearing this, he just nodded: "In that case, let's teach that King Nereus a lesson..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt someone pinched his arm. He turned around and saw Mera pretending to be nonchalant.
So he changed the topic: "But there is no need to cause too many casualties, just a small punishment and a big warning will be enough.
At this time, Arthur's smart little head suddenly came online. His eyes turned and suddenly lit up.
"You mean...dream?"
Dane nodded, the Dream Stone was very useful at times like this.
It is like creating a huge amount of virtual reality world, allowing people in it to feel life, old age, illness and death, but everything can be reset once they wake up.
Arthur couldn't help but smile widely.
"In this case, I won't be polite Xi!".
