"my head!"

Arthur opened his eyes and his first feeling was that his head was about to explode.

The pain was so intense that even this tough guy had to reach out and touch his head, fearing that it would literally explode.

However, after touching it, he discovered that the torturous pain did not come from the body.

"Your soul injury has not yet recovered. Martin prepared two doses of potion yesterday. Although he only fed you one dose while you were asleep, the effect was good. You woke up this morning."

Arthur heard Diana's voice and turned to look to the side. Diana was wearing a golden dress and sitting on a chair.

"Where's Martin?"

"After he fell asleep yesterday, he disappeared. I don't know where he went."

Diana stood up and took out a glass test tube filled with golden liquid that shone brightly in the sunlight.

"Drink this potion. It is a magic potion specially prepared by Martin for you. It can repair a wounded soul."

Arthur took the potion Diana handed over and drank it in one gulp.

"Hmm, sour, like grapes!"

The potion prepared by Martin was very effective. As soon as it entered his mouth and before it flowed into his stomach, Arthur felt a fragrance rushing to his head. Then the pain that was tormenting him was alleviated a lot. At least the things he saw in front of his eyes were no longer blurry and double.

"Martin is still more reliable! But if he leaves like this, what will happen to the underwater situation? It's not difficult to rescue my mother, but those guys in Atlantis are not that easy to deal with."

He sat up from the bed and began to call upon the power of life force, superimposing the state of life balance on his body little by little, and began to repair the sequelae left by yesterday's battle.

"Martin had thought of this a long time ago and told me his thoughts last night."

Seeing that Arthur was gradually recovering, Diana repeated her conversation with Martin last night.

Arthur fell silent after hearing this. He understood the intention of Martin's plan.

This plan seems to be similar to Orm's goal, both of which are to restore a larger Atlantis, but the former is an organizational structure similar to that of an empire, while Martin wants an alliance.

In this way, Arthur can use the power of the Saltwater Kingdom and the Fisherman Kingdom to contain Atlantis, which he hates, and then use the general policy of joining human society to deprive war maniacs like Orm of the opportunity to develop.

"It's a good plan, but if this goes on, I'll have to deal with those bastards in the future."

Before learning of his mother's death, Arthur did have a fantasy about the bottom of the sea and wanted to gain recognition from Atlantis.

But after learning that Atlanna was exiled, Arthur realized that there was no difference between the people in the sea and the people on land.

"So you're giving up?"

Diana did not have this sense of identity split. She always knew that she was an Amazon. What troubled her was the pursuit of her mission and how to be responsible to the Amazon people.

She knew she couldn't understand Arthur's feelings, and she didn't intend to give any advice.

Arthur shook his head: "Even if it's for Martin, I can't back down. He worked so hard to plan so much for us, how can I let all this go to waste just because of my personal feelings!"

He still has no special feelings for Atlantis, but still wants to rescue the mother he has never met and to safeguard the interests of the Justice League.

"Most importantly, when I think about the possibility that the bastard Orm might bring the Atlantis army to show off in front of me, I want to twist his head off with my own hands."

After experiencing the underwater battle, Arthur completely lost all feelings for his half-brother and just wanted to kill him. He felt that it would be irresponsible for the others if that warmongerer lived one more day in this world.

"Do you need anything to prepare? Just ask, and I will definitely satisfy you."

Diana was greatly relieved to see that Arthur had finally made up his mind.

If Arthur really backed off and didn't want to care about the things on the seabed, she really didn't know how to deal with it.

We can't let him, an Amazon, kill his way to the bottom of the sea!
"Prepare a boat for me with food and water on it. Martin said that the entrance to the seabed is under the Trench Tribe, and the Trench Tribe lives in the Mediterranean Sea."

The people of Atlantis were terrified when talking about the Trench Tribe.

The former allies turned into pure beasts. Perhaps they were afraid that the Atlanteans might also end up like that, so they did not mention this group. Only clues about them could be found in various legends.

Although Vicco was the head of the Royal Guards and told Arthur everything when he taught him, he was extremely cautious with the Trench Group.

So, apart from knowing that this ethnic group has now degenerated into wild beasts and lives in the Mediterranean, Arthur knows nothing else.

"From what you said, the Trench Tribe is very dangerous. Are you sure you don't need any other help?"

Diana reminded seriously: "This is not a trivial matter. You'd better be cautious."

"I am very cautious. I will not degenerate into a beast in the future. It will be very dangerous for other sea dwellers to obtain it. But I have the power of life. Controlling them is instinctive for me."

Before yesterday, Arthur didn't have the confidence to say this, but now it's different.

Although there was no evidence, Arthur felt that his understanding of the force of life had surpassed that of his ancestor.

Arthur was not afraid at all about what was hidden among the Trench Tribe. As for the so-called Trident of Poseidon, he also cared about it.

Arthur didn't even want the position of King of Atlantis, let alone a piece of broken iron.

"It would have been great if Martin hadn't destroyed the trident yesterday! When I held the trident, I was so excited."

Arthur recalled how he felt yesterday and felt quite regretful.

Diana shook her head and said, "If Martin hadn't dispersed the trident, you would have been burned to ashes by the fire of hatred."

Arthur could not deny that the reason his soul was so badly hurt was because the fire of hatred burned the power of life bestowed on him.

Although that feeling of excitement is real, it is just the madness before it turns to ashes.

So although Arthur was reminiscing about that feeling, he was not obsessed with it. After reminiscing about the First World War, he focused his attention on leaving Paradise Island.

Diana quickly had a ship capable of ocean voyages prepared, stocked with plenty of food and fresh water.

It is interesting to say that although Paradise Island is under the protection of the Olympian gods, it is placed on the Atlantic Ocean, which is far away from the Mediterranean coast where the Greek gods made their fortune.

Diana wanted to prepare a navigator for Arthur, but she refused.

"I am the King of the Sea. The oceans on Earth are like home to me. There is no place I am not familiar with. Don't worry about it."

Arthur laughed and rejected Diana's kindness, patting his chest and bragging about his experiences on the ocean.

This is not exaggeration. Arthur often travels across the oceans to rescue those who are shipwrecked, and he has a deep understanding of each ocean.

After listening to this, Diana knew that Arthur's knowledge of the ocean was beyond hers, so she stopped worrying about him and sent him to the port of Paradise Island.

Paradise Island does have a port with a number of boats, but most of them are sailing or wooden boats that have not been used for a long time.

The most important Amazons on the sea were the Atlanteans, but as the Atlanteans sank into the ocean, the Amazons themselves were enslaved by the gods, and there were no enemies in the ocean on Paradise Island.

Although these ports are still maintained and the ships inside are carefully cared for, to Amazon, these ships are toys and are not used very often.

However, the Amazons' shipbuilding technology is also quite good. Although it is not as good as modern large ships, it is still excellent among sailboats and wooden boats.

Arthur didn't even need to repair the ship, he could just sail it out on an ocean voyage.

"I hope to hear good news from you soon!"

Diana stood on the dock and gave Arthur her blessings.

"Don't worry, I will never let you down. However, if you can contact Martin, have him rush to me as soon as possible. One more person means more strength."

Arthur scratched his head and said, "People should know themselves. I know that I have an unpleasant personality. The work of uniting people is not suitable for me."

"I will!" Although Diana didn't know how to contact Martin, she still agreed to Arthur.

After saying that, Arthur jumped onto the wooden boat. Before he loosened the rope connected to the dock, he felt waves coming from the bottom of the sea.

A huge black shadow emerged from the blue sea and began to rise slowly. The sea water flowed to both sides, and waves of white foam appeared.

The ships in the port of Paradise Island were hit by the waves and were swaying all over the place. Arthur looked at this sudden scene, hesitated, jumped back to the dock, and asked Diana: "Do you Amazons also raise large monsters in the offshore area?"

"Absolutely not. The living environment of those monsters is very harsh. Keeping them near the sea will only bring us trouble."

Diana had not expected such a situation to occur. More importantly, if any large-scale magical beast really broke into the coastal area of Paradise Island, their sentinels would not have been unaware of it.

Thinking of this, Diana took out her sword and shield, got into a fighting stance, and rang the bell at the dock to notify the Amazon soldiers to be on alert.

Arthur stretched his hand forward and sensed, he wanted to control the monster that ran out of the ocean, but he did not sense any breath of life.

"Wait, I think I sensed it wrongly! What ran out of the sea was not life, but something else."

Arthur quickly reminded Diana not to rush to call the Amazon army, but it was still too late.

The next moment, a huge silver wall rose from the ocean, decorated with intricate patterns. At first glance, the patterns looked very luxurious, but a closer look revealed that those patterns came together to look like a young man with his thumbs up and a silly smile.

The silver wall was actually part of a submarine, and the waves on the sea surface just now were the result of the submarine surfacing.

Knowing what this thing was did not reassure Diana and Arthur, but made them even more nervous.

A submarine entered the waters near Paradise Island, which was much more serious than the situation with Warcraft, because there might be a big problem with the defense that Paradise Island used to protect itself.

"Hey, hey, did you miss me?"

Just as Diana and Arthur were on guard, a door opened on the side of the submarine and landed on the dock. Martin, dressed as a captain, walked out, followed by a team of soldiers in the same uniform.

"Martin?"

Diana and Arthur didn't expect Martin to show up suddenly. They thought they would not see Martin today.

"I woke up on the Nautilus last night and ordered the submarine to head for Paradise Island immediately. We hurried and finally caught up with Arthur."

Martin held the sword at his waist in one hand and grinned at the two of them.

"Move all the food and fresh water from that wooden boat to our boat."

Martin gave orders to his crew, and the soldiers with rifles began to move the things.

"Nautilus, is it the Nautilus in science fiction?"

As the king of the ocean, Arthur certainly knew the Nautilus. He once searched the seabed to see if there really was such a place as the mysterious island, but naturally he found nothing.

"The ship is the same ship, but the deeds are different. At least I haven't encountered anything like that."

Martin spread his hands, which looked somewhat funny in the captain's uniform that looked like a military uniform.

"Hurry up and get on board. I'll take you to the Mediterranean. This ship has a very fast speed. Although it can't compare to the speed of your seabed, it can still reach that place before noon."

On the way here, Martin had already learned about the structure and configuration of the Nautilus submarine.

To be honest, this ship is indeed very sci-fi, and there is a huge difference between it and the submarines in the real world. Martin even wonders if there is any magic on it.

In addition to its extra-long hull and special shape, this ship can not only sail on pure electricity, but also use solar energy. It is equipped with a large number of small cruise ships and sufficient firepower, as well as a professional force.

Arthur was excited to see the submarine, and followed the crew members carrying food and fresh water into the submarine.

Diana kept looking at Martin, and finally said, "You are really not suitable for wearing a military uniform!"

Martin looked down at his clothes and said, "It's okay, but I do suit the simple style better."

Diana laughed happily, hugged Martin, and said, "I won't waste your time. Let's go. I'm waiting for the good news of your success."

"Atlantis is not as united as the Amazons, and Atlanna's attitude is unclear. This matter is actually not as simple as I promised Arthur."

Martin did not try to be brave. Planning is one thing, but whether it can be accomplished is another.

"In fact, I think you have always set too high standards for yourself. There is another situation that may not necessarily develop as we originally imagined. In fact, as long as the seabed does not launch a direct attack on the land, we will win."

Diana gently comforted Martin's anxiety: "As long as Arthur is here, we can always influence the situation on the seabed through him."

"That's right, I was too anxious."

Martin kissed Diana lightly on the side of her cheek, said goodbye to her, walked into the submarine, pressed a button, and the side door slowly closed.

Martin pulled a nearby speaker over, and his voice was transmitted through the pipes to every part of the submarine: "Boys, cheer up, we are going to explore the Mediterranean."

"Yes!"

The submarine crew responded enthusiastically to their captain's orders and set to work preparing for the voyage.

Martin walked through the corridor to the captain's room and asked someone to call Arthur, who was touring the submarine.

"From now on you are my first mate. When you are familiar with the various departments of the submarine, explain the situation of Atlantis and the Trench Tribe to the crew."

"Yes, Captain!"

Arthur saluted Martin seriously, immersed in his curiosity about the Nautilus spacecraft, and temporarily forgot about Atlantis.

Martin also knew about the Trench Tribe. This tribe that had degenerated into wild beasts had strong attack power in the sea, and most importantly, they had a large number of them.

If the Nautilus wants to pass through the territory of the Trench Clan, it is not enough for Arthur to control it with his life force, because the range is too large and it will be a considerable burden on him.

In case something happens to Arthur, Martin needs a backup battle plan to quickly move through the Trench Tribe's territory.

"Just passing through?"

As the first mate, Arthur assisted Captain Martin in formulating a battle plan, but he was not satisfied with the purpose of the plan.

Martin explained: "The number of Trench Tribe is too large. If the purpose is to annihilate and fight, the Nautilus's weapons and firepower configuration will not last long. Although my crew members are all excellent guys, they can't withstand the strong pressure of the seabed."

"All right!"

Arthur accepted Martin's opinion, but he had to become familiar with the Nautilus before he could formulate a battle plan.

"Captain, we have completed our inspection. The Nautilus is in perfect condition and can depart at any time."

Martin sat in the captain's chair and waved his right hand forward:
"I order all ships to dive and head for the Mediterranean!"

"Yes!"

Following Martin's order, the crew on the Cambridge got busy. The huge Nautilus slowly left the offshore area and began to sink. It soon sank to a height of several hundred meters. The sunlight completely disappeared, leaving only darkness.

Then strong lights appeared around the submarine, illuminating the dark sea. The fish that were swimming comfortably were suddenly illuminated by the strong light and fled in all directions.

Wherever the Nautilus passed, the unique terrain in the ocean was illuminated one by one, and the magical beasts guarding Paradise Island could be seen from afar.

Arthur used his ability to sense the breath of those monsters, marked them out, and asked the crew of the Nautilus to avoid them and avoid conflict with them.

After walking cautiously for half an hour, the Nautilus finally left Paradise Island and entered the outside world.

Martin ordered the submarine to be powered to maximum and move forward at full speed, and Arthur also began to observe the situation of the Nautilus.
