A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 259 We Have Black Bat
The Moon, Attilan.

control center.

King Black Bolt and a host of other members of the Attilan royal family were prominently featured.

The virtual screen in front of them displayed newly built structures that had recently sprung up on the moon, as well as a new steel legion that resembled a swarm of bees.

"We must take action! Humans have already built structures on the moon. Our existence will be discovered sooner or later, and then those humans will definitely kill us all!!!" Looking at this scene, Black Bolt's brother, Maximus, said excitedly.

“No, Maximus, we will not take any action, because that would mean war!” Medusa said.

“Excuse me, Medusa, but are you speaking on your own behalf, or on behalf of the King?” Maximus questioned.

“I represent myself!” Medusa narrowed her eyes and said somewhat displeasedly in response to Maximus’s questioning.

The other members of the royal family also looked displeased.

As Black Bolt's brother, he is just an ordinary person who cannot pass the Terrigen Crystal ritual, yet he always provokes Queen Medusa, which makes her very dislike him.

In Attila, factors such as the availability of resources led to an extremely rigid social hierarchy.

Those who undergo the Terrigen Crystal Ritual gain various abilities and can rise to the upper echelons of society, enjoying the best treatment.

Ordinary people who cannot activate any abilities can only be treated as the lowest class, doing the most arduous jobs such as mining, and receiving the worst treatment, like slaves.

This concept was already deeply ingrained among the Inhumans of Attilan.

Even Black Bolt, the king, cannot be easily changed.

So if Maximus weren't Black Bolt's brother, he wouldn't even be standing here attending a royal meeting. In fact, without Black Bolt's protection, he would normally be stuck mining in the city's underworld.

That would have been fine.

However, Maximus was also very restless, loved to interfere in royal affairs, and tried to win over the lower classes.

This resulted in all members of the royal family, except for Black Bolt, disliking Maxim.

“Very well, then please tell us what the King thinks, okay?” However, Maximus completely ignored the displeasure shown by everyone and still looked at his brother, demanding a clear conclusion from him.

Upon hearing this, Black Bolt finally moved, about to gesture to "say" something—as someone with the ability to "mimetic sound waves," he could only communicate through sign language most of the time; otherwise, if he were to actually speak, everyone present would probably turn into minced meat plastered on the wall.

But at that moment, a black figure stumbled in, clearly seriously injured.

However, it was Gorgon, the leader of the royal guard.

"Gorgon, what's wrong with you?" Karnak, the royal family member who was closest to him and possessed a calculation ability so powerful it could be described as "predictive," rushed forward to support him and asked.

“It’s those robots…” Gorgon said, pointing to the steel soldiers on the screen.

Upon hearing this, Maxim, who was already extremely uneasy about the existence of the Steel Legion, immediately became excited.

“See? What did I tell you? Gorgon is the first, but he will definitely not be the last. If those humans discover us, they will never let us go. We must take the initiative!” Maximus said, jumping up and down.

However, none of the royal family members paid him any attention at this time.

"How could this be?" Karnak looked at Gorgon in surprise, because the Iron Legion had been on the moon for some time, and they had only been busy with construction, without even entering the area where Attilan was located.

Moreover, Attilan is protected by an invisible energy shield, so those robots shouldn't be able to detect Attilan.

How could Gorgon have been injured?
Faced with the questioning gazes of numerous members of the royal family, Gorgon lowered his head somewhat embarrassed. "I apologize, the commotion caused by those robots was just too great. As the head of the royal guard, I felt it necessary to do something, so I wanted to capture one as a research sample. I didn't expect those robots to be so powerful..." Gorgon slowly explained the reason.

"So you did it on your own initiative? That's incredibly unwise!" Karnike frowned deeply upon hearing this.

Worry also flashed across the faces of Black Bolt, Medusa, and the others.

“No, what’s with all those expressions? It’s those humans who invaded us. The moon is our territory. Gorgon was just doing his job. Do we have to wait until humans attack Attilan before we react?” Maximus roared.

Hearing his words, even Gorgon, the person involved, couldn't help but twitch his face.

Is the moon their territory?

It's unbelievable that this kid could say that.

Even though the Inhumans have been living on the moon for nearly a century.

But to say that the entire moon is ruled by the Inhumans is pure nonsense.

Due to limitations in population, technology, and capabilities, the Inhumans were only truly able to operate within the city of Attilan on the moon; they lacked the capacity to develop and occupy other areas.

In this situation, the royal family members felt guilty saying that the entire moon belonged to the Inhumans.

Despite their small size and small population, and their remoteness from Earth, they are not as shameless as some countries on Earth that believe that planting a flag on the moon makes it their entire domain.

For this reason, the nature of their actions is completely different from those who are forced to act after being harassed by the other party.

All eyes turned to Black Bolt, hoping that their king could offer guidance and calm their anxious hearts.

After glancing at the royal family members, Black Bolt quickly made a decision.

He had barely gestured with his fingers when Attilan's defense alarms blared throughout the entire city.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The entire city is surrounded! It's those human robots, tens of thousands of them!" A royal guard rushed in and reported frantically.

This time, even Maximus, who had been clamoring to take the initiative, panicked.

His willingness to constantly clamor for proactive action largely stemmed from his belief that Attilan remained undetected.

And now Attilan has actually surrounded them?
Doesn't that mean that humans already knew about Attilan's location? Otherwise, how could they have acted so quickly?
"Are you satisfied now?" Medusa said to Maximus with a cold smile.

Her words made Maximus feel very embarrassed, and his gaze immediately fell on Gorgon.

"It's all your fault! You're the one who brought humans here!" In an attempt to deflect blame, Maximus directly turned his attention to Gorgon.

Upon hearing this, Gorgon lowered his head in shame.

It was indeed he who took action without authorization, which caused all of this to happen.

"Clap clap!" Just then, two claps drew everyone's attention.

"Don't panic, I'm here!" Black Bolt gestured as he saw everyone's attention focused on him.

Upon seeing the gesture made by Black Bolt, the hearts of everyone present, which had been pounding with anxiety, immediately calmed down.

Yes... they have a powerful king, what's there to worry about?
