Chapter 253 The struggle and choice for power! (Please support!)

Orm is in a bad mood!

Of course, since Vico publicly announced his support for Arthur, his mood has not been better, 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 the voice, he couldn't hold back anymore and rushed to the gate bridge with his personal guards.

As a king, he is not afraid of challengers. Only with the emergence of these challengers can he consolidate his authority as a king.

But Arthur is obviously different. He is not affected by the order established by Orm and directly establishes his own majesty among civilians.

Orm realized that once the image he had established as an arbiter between the upper and lower levels went bankrupt, he would have to choose one side to support, and Atlantis would also fall into civil strife and no longer have the ability to wage war on land. .

"What happened here?"

Orm led the entire bodyguard across the gate bridge and slowly descended from above. The glorious and bizarre sea beast mount instantly illuminated everyone's faces.

His voice reached everyone's ears through the loudspeaker, and the news of the king's arrival began to spread backwards, but the crowd did not completely quiet down.

What troubled Orm the most was not this, but the fact that those protesting all gathered around Arthur, obviously treating him as someone who could fight for their legitimate rights.

"These bloody bastards!"

After listening to the guard officer's report, Aum cursed bitterly in his heart: "When did I give the order to block the gate bridge? You took it upon yourself to drive away the civilians, where did you leave the king and the superior officials? "

The guard officer looked stunned. These unspoken rules had been circulating for countless years. He had seen his seniors praised by the king several times. How could it be that he was guilty when it was his turn?
Orm didn't care what the gatekeeper thought. In order to cut off the connection between Arthur and the common people at the bottom, he simply and rudely announced to everyone that this was all the fault of the bastard officers in the garrison. The king had never done such a thing. Order.Then, all the soldiers and officers involved in this matter will be pulled out and beheaded.

Ian looked at this good show and laughed and mocked: "The so-called magic weapon for a king to govern a country is that he 'does not dare to be the first for the world' and allows the people below to perform on their own. If they do well, it will naturally be the king's credit. If something goes wrong, the king can also assume that his subordinates failed to execute the order, since he didn’t have a formal order anyway!”

Of course Vico knows this as a veteran in the officialdom. In fact, he is also a beneficiary of this. If Aum dares to be the first in the world, then he will not be able to keep the people of the Atlanna faction.

Mera was relatively young. Looking at this scene, she waved her fist and said, "It's because everyone is like this that the underwater kingdom is lifeless and does not progress as fast as on land."

"So, we can't let Aum let this matter go easily!"

Seeing Ian's confident look, Mera was silent for a moment, but nodded to show her support.

She knew that Ian had no idea about Atlantis, or that the world that this land man wanted was too vast, and Atlantis, which sat on the seven seas, seemed too small in comparison.

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

At least with Ian in Atlantis, we will enter a new world, Vico comforted himself in his heart.

Ian closed his eyes, and the three suspended scales around him began to flash regularly. Arthur, who had no reaction at all, suddenly swam in front of Orm and stopped him: "Wait a minute, I don't think these gatekeepers should suffer so seriously. Punishment. Compared with them, the lowest executors, other people have made big mistakes."

Orm was very dissatisfied with Arthur's intervention. He scolded: "This is an internal matter of Atlantis. You, an outsider, are not qualified to interfere in these matters. Leave immediately."

"I am Atlanna's son, your half-brother, and a member of the Atlantean royal family. Why am I not qualified?"

Although Arthur was very unhappy with the Atlantis royal family, seeing the blood in his body made Orm even more unhappy, and he was no longer so repelled by his own life experience.

On land, even those countries that still retain their royal families will not hand over political power to others because of their bloodline.But in Atlantis, the majesty of the royal family still exists, and people like Arthur are born with the right 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 related to genitals can be found everywhere, and as long as there are some clues, a lot of things can be uncovered.

So, he had to listen to Arthur's opinion and asked sternly: "You said that other people have made big mistakes. Who are these other people?"

Arthur didn't care about Orm's attempt to command him with a kingly posture, as long as the other party didn't force him to shut up.

He said frankly: "The commanders of the gatekeepers made a big mistake. I see that the officers and soldiers who drove away the civilians this time acted skillfully. It is obviously not the first time they have done this kind of thing.

Doesn’t the commander of the gate-keeping army know about such a thing that undermines the majesty of the royal family?Or did he not report it to the king or rectify his subordinates after knowing it?No matter what their situation is, this is a huge dereliction of duty! "

Arthur struck out with the stick, and all Orm's men looked at him angrily, and Orm was even more caught in a dilemma.

The army is the foundation of this king. If he only punishes a few junior officers and soldiers, it would be more satisfying to Orm than cutting his nails. But if these commanders are punished for driving away civilians without reason, then the problem will be bigger. .

These senior officers and generals from the middle level up will not support a king who cannot protect themselves!

"This move is really cruel!"

Orm took a deep look at Arthur.

If he protected the army, it would be equivalent to losing the support of the lower-level civilians, and the kingdom would risk civil strife.But if he chooses to support civilians, the positions of the generals in the army will begin to waver, and they will not be able to launch a war on the ground in a short time.

Unexpectedly, Arthur would attack him as soon as they met. After Orm thought for a while, he finally said angrily: "Then what do you want to do? Remove all these old generals who have been serving since before our mother was born. ?"

Throw this question to Arthur, no matter who he supports, Orm only needs to choose to support the remaining side.

This is not the best choice, but it is the only choice that Orm can make. He cannot express his attitude on the spot. Arthur is a barefoot pauper who can do whatever he wants. He is a king and must put the overall situation first.

Arthur was silent for a while, his ears moved, as if listening to something, and then he said calmly: "I don't want to question anyone, nor do I want to compete with you for the throne. I just saw the changes in the kingdom that my mother has worked so hard to manage." It's just sad to be like this.

If you have to ask me what to do, my opinion is to reform the system of the military guarding the Mon Bridge, so that this kind of thing cannot happen again! "

Orm noticed a distortion on Arthur's face when he mentioned the word "mother". Although it disappeared in an instant, it still made him realize that these words did not come from Arthur's true intentions.

This belated or arrogant king was finally willing to lower his noble head and look down, and then discovered that his real enemy was Ian who came from the land.

Orm said nothing, but his eyes almost burst out with fire, burning the villain who was planning the conspiracy behind the scenes to ashes.

But Ian didn't take it seriously and just showed his row of big white teeth.

Orm finally found his enemy, but he did not have an attack. He just said to Arthur angrily: "Since you said you are doing it for Atlantis, then just do it! If you don't do it properly, I will I will also remember what you said today. Also, your father is a guest in the palace, so let Vico take you there!"

After Orm finished speaking, regardless of Arthur's answer, he turned around and returned to the Gate Bridge with his personal guards. As soon as he left, he even forgot about the punishment and completely removed himself from the incident. . "you!"

Arthur waved his trident and pointed it at the soldiers who were almost beheaded, and ordered: "Continue to work, guide everyone to enter the gate bridge, and no more tricks are allowed."

"Yes, Your Highness Arthur!"

Under the leadership of the officer, the soldiers saluted Arthur, fully acknowledging the prince's existence.Then, amid cheers from everyone, Arthur was surrounded by the crowd and walked into the gate bridge again.

"how do you feel?"

When the crowd dispersed and Arthur swam back, he was met by Ian's question.

"Although it feels good to be supported by others, I feel tired even saying a word to Aum!"

Arthur told the truth.

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

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

"Dueling is just a means, the real purpose is to prevent the war. You don't care about the throne anyway, so it's okay to try another way."

"All right!"

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

The two father and son went to remember Atlanna, and Ian found a guest room, where Vico introduced him to Orm's forces and dealt with some Justice League matters.

Returning to the palace hall, Orm's anger burst out directly, and countless seawater was compressed into a ball by him, making bang bang explosion sounds in the hall.

"I've told you a long time ago that Ian is not only strong in martial arts, but you will suffer big losses if you underestimate him!"

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

"Then carry out your plan and drive away that cunning land man. As long as he is gone, there will be only one Arthur left, who will not be my opponent at all."

"As you wish, Your Majesty the King!"

While busy, the time came late at night. Although Atlantis was under the sea, time was the same as on the ground. It created some kind of light source similar to the artificial sun and geothermal light, and the time was adjusted through some kind of device.

Arthur was still worried about what Orm might do, so he took Tom and Ian to live in a room.

“The scenery under the sea is not bad!”

Ian stood in front of the water-film-like window, looking at the gradually darkening 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 transformed luminous plant and animal remains. , even without artificial light and geothermal heat, glow-in-the-dark plants outline the structure of Atlantis.

"But there are always people who want to break this peace. I really don't know why they do it?" Arthur watched his father fall asleep before coming to Ian's side.

"This is the evil of false freedom."

"I don't think so."

A strange voice interrupted Ian, and the door to the room was kicked open. Two doors made of coral and microbial shells flew towards Ian, and were knocked out by him with a wave of his hand.

"Vandal Savage!"

Ian looked at the tall figure standing at the door. Although the other person was wearing a submarine, he still recognized the other person's identity from the glass helmet and said with a smile: "I knew you wouldn't let Atlantis go. But you came to the bottom of the sea yourself, is the Illuminati so short of manpower now?"

"Then I would also like to thank the Justice League for their relentless pursuit of us. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have to put myself at risk!"

Vandal was very calm.

Ian shook his head and said: "You provide information to Steppenwolf and you deserve this end. Tell me, what do you want to do by showing up?"

"After all, he is a young man and has no patience at all."

Vandal smiled and shook his head, then said: "I want you to leave the bottom of the sea and let the brothers Arthur and Orm decide who owns the throne!"

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

After he finished speaking, he rushed out. Three dragon scales surrounded him, and his body merged into the sea water. He instantly grabbed Vandal at the door, but his body instantly turned into a pool of liquid, polluting the surrounding sea water.

"Clone?"

Ian blocked the unknown liquid and watched another Vandal appear not far from the door.

He said to Arthur: "Vandal wants to use these clones to lure me into the bait."

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

"No, you are the one who needs to be careful. The Illuminati can get me into trouble at best, but you have to face Orm alone."

Ian looked at Vandal who was approaching and said: "Since Orm wants a shameful end, then I will grant him and follow their plan. The most important thing is, I also want to know what the Illuminati is. They are plotting something. If we don’t arrest these guys, we don’t know when they will come out and give us a knife.”

Arthur nodded, looked at the dark royal capital, and finally nodded.
