Chapter 172 Zebel’S Ambition
The alien creature disguised as a peace messenger returned to the Sky Eye Society and reported to Amanda Waller the results of the trip to Atlantis.
Amanda was pleased with the success of the result, there was just one problem.
"Nanawi, are you dead or captured alive?"
"Peacemaker" shook his head, "I had already retreated at that time, so I didn't know clearly, but I guess that in that case, the possibility of him surviving was extremely low.
Amanda nodded silently and waved the peace messenger to go down.
She sat in the office and thought for a moment before picking up the phone and calling General Lois from the CIA.
"General, it's me, Amanda. The mission you assigned has been completed."
"Yes, except for one person, no one was left alive. Yes, I understand...Thank you."
She seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with the person on the other side of the phone, and finally hung up the phone with a slight smile.
Coming to the floor-to-ceiling window, Amanda lit a lady's cigarette and held it in her mouth.
Vaguely, I seemed to hear her say softly: "Don't blame me, Nanawi...
Let us turn our attention to Atlanna. While Dane was still busy in Atlantis, Atlanna encountered a soft nail in Nereus.
Originally, she thought that through Mera's relationship, she could easily repair the relationship between the two countries, but it turned out that she was overthinking it.
Nessance seized on Atlanna's mistake of having an affair with people on the surface, saying that she had no power to decide the direction of the relationship between the two countries...
This directly denies her political career!
Atlanna was furious and couldn't help but feel a little strange. After she met Nereus this time, she felt that the other party's attitude had changed a lot.
Moreover, she believed that this change had nothing to do with what Nessance claimed, and she had some doubts in her heart.
In the living room, Mera came here alone, she wanted to comfort Atlanna.
But before she could say words of comfort, Atlanna spoke first.
"Mera, recently, your father has had more contact with Quasi?"
"You mean domestic?" Mera asked doubtfully.
Atlanna shook her head and added: "I want to ask, does he have deeper contact with people from any kingdom?"
Mera thought for a moment and hesitated for a while before saying:
"If you want to say who it is, my father seems to have had more contact with Orm recently... Atlanna, what are you suspecting?"
Atlanna held her forehead, she was now basically certain that there was an error in her previous view of Nissens.
There's a good chance he wasn't the peaceful king everyone thought he was.
Atlanna had observed on the way here, and she found that Xiebel's military equipment seemed to have been strengthened a lot since the last time she visited here.
You must know that although there are occasional frictions between countries, in general they are limited to diplomatic rhetoric and disputes between individual soldiers, and there is no need for large-scale use of troops.
Therefore, there is generally no difference in the size of the army in everyone's territory, but Zebel's army expansion was carried out quietly without any country knowing.
What is he trying to do?
Moreover, the political system of Zebel is similar to that of Atlantis. It is also a parliamentary system, and the king cannot have absolute power.
Therefore, his military expansion must be supported by the parliament, which made Atlanna very uneasy.
She was worried, what if it wasn't just Nissan who was ambitious? What if it wasn't just Parliament who was ambitious?
What if the one with ambition...is the entire Kingdom of Zebel?
If Orm had frequent contacts with Nessance, then he would definitely be able to see the king's ambitions, and he could not rule out the possibility that they might have discussed forming a military alliance.
If this is the case, then she may have done something stupid when she came today with the news that Orm had failed and was captured by the surface people.
She essentially told Nessance that their military plan was bankrupt, so what would be Nereus's next move?
She soon found out.
Not long after Mera came here, a group of Zebel soldiers also came here.
Mera looked back and couldn't help but frown.
"What are you doing here?"
The leading soldier, wearing armor, bowed his head to Mera and apologized.
"Princess Mera, please forgive me. This is the order of King Nessance."
"What is the order? Ordering you to place Atlanna under house arrest?" Mera said coldly.
"No, King Ness just ordered us to protect Atlanna." He didn't even call her "Queen"
Atlanna's face also darkened, "I have my own guards and don't need your protection!"
The leading soldier said solemnly: "We are only following the orders of King Nessance, madam, and your guards are also under our 'protection'.
Atlanna almost laughed angrily, saying protection, this is imprisonment! Nessance definitely has no good intentions.
But she has no choice now, she can't fight out, right?
Don't say that she doesn't have a weapon on her now. Even if she does, she can't hurt anyone in the Kingdom of Zebel. Isn't this tantamount to telling the truth?
But as soon as Atlanna's mind changed, she turned to Mera.
So she whispered something in Mera's ear. Mera looked at the soldiers outside the door and nodded imperceptibly.
As Mera swam past the soldiers, she whispered a warning:
"I hope you remember that no matter what orders you receive, Atlanna is still a member of the royal family, that is irrefutable."
"I hope you will be careful when dealing with her. My father asked you to come over to protect her, not to deliberately provoke a war with Atlantis, right?
After saying these words, Mei walked away.
The soldier's expression changed, but in the end he did not dare to make a mistake and led his soldiers to guard the exit.
As for Mera, she did not go back to her room after leaving the living room, but slipped out of Zebel when no one was paying attention.
She is so familiar with this country that she knows where to go even with her eyes closed.
Zebel was not far from Atlantis, and her submersible was very fast, so soon she arrived at the entrance to Atlantis.
"Huh? Why is she here?"
The first person to discover Mera was Dane, who was still dreaming.
He did not cancel the dream because he expected that the man behind the scenes had other plans for Atlantis, and he believed that the man behind the scenes would come again.
And this time, it's Dane.
But I didn't expect that the mastermind behind the scenes didn't wait and arrived.
He thought for a while, but still introduced Mera into the dream.
Now the real world of Atlantis and the dream world have overlapped. Without Dane's guidance, she would have been wandering around for the rest of her life without being able to get in.
Mera had just entered the border of Atlantis when her eyes suddenly flashed and she came to a strange room.
In the room is that surface person, Shazam.
"You, why are you here?"
This is a waterless environment, and Mera's body is wet. She subconsciously strokes her damp red hair, and then quickly puts her hand down when she reacts.
Dane turned to look at her: "I'm here to help Arthur solve some things, what about you Mera, why are you here?"
Only then did Mera remember what she was going to do. She quickly said: "I want to find Arthur Curry and Vico. Queen Atlanna is now under house arrest in Zebel by my father!"
Dane frowned slightly and used his Ability to summon Arthur.
Not long after, the door to the room opened and Arthur rushed in.
"Dane, you said something happened to my mother! What happened?
Huh? Aren’t you Zebel’s Mera?”
As soon as he entered the door, Arthur found that Mera was also here.
Dane explained: "Mera came to inform us that her father Nessance has now placed Atlanna under house arrest for unknown reasons."
At this time, Vico also swam in from the water town outside the door.
When he heard Dane's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then his expression immediately changed.
"Oops! Nessance must have made an agreement with Orm, but now he has been imprisoned and cannot fulfill his promise.
Now Nissance wants to use the queen as a threat to force Atlantis to continue to fulfill its agreement. "
Well, you already know everything from the beginning. Either you have read the script in advance, or you were at the scene when this happened.
Although Vico is just a guard instructor on the surface, he actually does the work of the king's right-hand man and prime minister.
With just a little thought, he pieced together the truth of the matter.
The old political yin belongs to yes. .
