Chapter 733: The Educated Sea King is Not Easy to Cheat

"Major ports around the world have suffered serious damage, warships and large amounts of garbage have been washed ashore by huge waves, and countless amounts of garbage have been piled up on various coastlines."

Arthur quickly got a description of the current situation from Barbara on the watch-shaped Zhenglian terminal.

"Almost all the garbage that humans have dumped into the ocean over the past few decades has been thrown back."

"This has aroused the vigilance of officials from various countries. They think that this is a declaration of war by Atlantis, and they have begun to prepare for war."

Barbara's tone was very serious: "But the most important thing for the officials now is to clean up the garbage. Arthur, you still have time to figure out what happened."

"Do you need Batman, Superman or others to help?"

Arthur thought about it and refused: "No, they will be too restricted in the sea."

"And I think..." Arthur glanced at Mera, "the solution should have come."

After hanging up the phone, Arthur walked to Mera. They were now standing on the cliff where Vicco had taught Arthur to fight.

Below is the bottomless sea.

"It's so convenient." Mera looked at the Justice League terminal in Arthur's hand, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

The technology of the people on land does not seem to be very backward.

"Humans have begun preparing for war, but there is still time." Arthur still held the silver trident left by his mother.

"Let me make it clear first, I only stop the war, I don't care about anything else." Arthur said to Mera.

Last night, Mera told Arthur about the incident on the seabed and asked Arthur to stop Orm.

Of course Arthur wouldn't refuse.

As for how to stop it, Mera didn't tell Arthur.

"Maybe this is for the best." Mera said noncommittally.

But of course she didn't think so in her heart. Once she reached the bottom of the sea, Arthur would have no say in what to do.

Seeing her like this, Arthur became even more suspicious.

Although he knew that Mera was a peace advocate and did not want to go to war with Lu, he was on the same front as her.

But Arthur knew that even if he was a superhero, he was only one person. So many people in the underwater kingdom could not change something. Why would Mera come to him?
The only explanation is the peculiarity of himself - the royal blood of Atlantis.

So Mera came to me to stop the war, and her core request was - a coup to seize power?
Arthur may seem reckless, but in fact, his knowledge is very rich and he is familiar with these methods.

Aquaman who has read books is not so easy to fool!
Thinking of this, Arthur was quite grateful to Li Ming.

"If Uncle Li hadn't forced me to study since I was young, I would probably still be stupid and unable to understand today," he thought to himself.

However, Arthur did not expose Mera. Their basic pursuit was to prevent the war, and this has not changed.

They quickly entered Atlantis from Mera's ship and came to a shipwreck.

Here he met his mentor Vico.

It turns out that Mera had already informed Vicco before finding Arthur.

One of them is the future queen, and the other is the minister entrusted by the late king. Logically, they should be on guard against each other, but now they have united their front. It can only be said that Om is not a very good king.

But from another perspective, even if the future queen and the minister in charge of the orphan joined forces, they were unable to stop Orm from declaring war on the land, and could only do small moves secretly. This also shows that among the nobles within Atlantis, the pro-war faction completely crushed the pro-peace faction.

This also explains why Atlanna, as the queen, was exiled by the previous king who was actually the king's husband.

The incident involving Atlanna was not simply a matter of illegitimate children, but more importantly the result of the failure of the peace faction's political struggle.

Vico first introduced the current tense situation to Arthur, and then took out a scroll and an ancient cylindrical mechanical device.

On the scroll is a golden trident.

"The Lost Trident is the weapon of the first king of Atlantis. Legend has it that whoever possesses the trident will have the power to command the ocean," Vico introduced.

"But after Atlantis sank due to blind development, King Atlan chose to exile himself, and the trident disappeared."

"And this..." Vico picked up the cylinder device, "The archaeological team found it in the ruins. It contains the message left by King Atlan for future generations. It also contains information about the whereabouts of the lost trident."

"What does it say?" asked Arthur.

"I don't know, the writing is too ancient," said Mera, who had also studied it.

Vico pointed to the symbol on the cylinder and said, "This is engraved with the symbol of the country of escape. You can take it to the country of escape to look for clues."

Arthur was about to take it when the sunken ship was suddenly attacked.

"boom!"

Arthur was knocked to the ground by the cannonball, and Mera and Vicco quickly hid.

A group of Atlantean soldiers rushed in and held Arthur down.

"Border Force, you have been arrested for trespassing."

Of course Arthur would not surrender, and he also had to cover the retreat of Mera and Vicco. They were both sensitive people and must not be discovered here.

He had a fierce battle with the soldiers. He was also present when Bruce was training Robin and learned a lot of fighting skills from Batman. In fact, this group of soldiers was no match for him.

However, when he heard them talking about "King Orm", Arthur suddenly wanted to meet his younger brother.

So he pretended to be defeated and was arrested.

Anyway, if there is real danger, he can still shake the Justice League.

When Arthur woke up again, he found himself in the council hall of Atlantis, tied up tightly with several large iron chains.

And Orm, wearing a golden armor and a crown, sat high on the throne.

On either side of him are his fiancée Mera and his chief strategist Vicco.

"Brother." Om said, "I can't believe you're really here."

He stood up and walked in front of Arthur: "I have heard a lot of stories about you, but every time I think about the fact that my mother died because of you, I feel conflicted."

"To be honest you are my brother, but I want to pierce your heart with my trident." Orm said contradictory.

"Why don't you untie the chains and see who can pierce who?" Arthur choked.

But he was thinking in his heart: "This brother is really... awkward."

Arthur originally thought that Orm was an ambitious tyrant, but now he seems more like a younger brother who has gone astray.

"Is this why you came here?" Om's eyes became complicated, "Kill me?"

A look of surprise flashed across Arthur's face.

What is this stupid brother thinking?
"I'm here to stop you from destroying the world," Arthur explained.

"Why do you turn a blind eye to humans' wanton pollution of the ocean and choose to deal with your own compatriots?" Om said with great sorrow.

Arthur advised earnestly: "Humanity does have some problems, but we can solve them in a gentler way. The Justice League can influence the actions of various countries."

But Orm was stuck in a dilemma: "You came with your mother's trident, are you planning to fight for the throne?"

"If that can prevent the war." Arthur did not deny it, because he suddenly realized that if he let this stupid brother continue to be king, he would probably die inexplicably like the previous king.

The peace faction was not completely powerless, and the sudden death of the previous king, who had a long life, was also very strange, so Arthur could not help but think so.

"Okay!" Om agreed directly, "I accept your challenge to be king!"
