"Now, tell me your choice."
In the deep red, Samuel was like a demon god, his voice so cold it seemed to make the kneeling people below lose the ability to think, leaving only the fear of Death.
"Queen Atlanta, on behalf of the Council, I obey all your commands." A man was the first to speak, making his decision.
"Viktor."
Atlanta softly spoke his name.
The Council is the center of power in Atlantis. To put it this way, even if Atlantis didn't have a nominal King or Queen, as long as the Council was there, it could operate normally and smoothly.
To regain power, the deceased Ovakx was the biggest obstacle, followed by the Council.
Ovakx had gained the support of most Council members, which is why he was so difficult to deal with. If he were merely the Captain of the guard, he would not have had such great power now.
After all, Atlantis does not have just one guard team, nor do all the armies support Ovakx. However, because he had the support of Council members behind him, he was able to command the vast majority of the army.
"Viktor, I accept your allegiance." Atlanta understood Viktor and trusted Viktor.
If there was anyone else in Atlantis she could trust, it was none other than Viktor.
Viktor had always been a staunch supporter of the royal family and was usually considered to be part of her faction.
"You are Viktor?" Samuel looked at him, and after a moment, nodded slightly: "Not bad."
Viktor was a little awkward, not knowing how to respond, mainly because he didn't know how to address him. In the end, he could only choose to nod his head, which was considered a response.
"Are you all mute? Or—do you want me to make the decision for you?"
Samuel looked around at the others, gave a cold snort, and directly waved his hand to open a portal.
"Swish!"
Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the portal and saw women wearing the same style of Armor and holding identical battle axes quickly walking in.
These, these are Amazonians?
How could Amazonians be here? Could this man be some Old God who has already conquered the Amazonians?
Amazon warriors appeared one after another, so densely packed that the originally spacious meeting hall quickly became small and crowded.
Those Atlanteans were all stunned.
Let alone them, the entire Thunder God Legion of five hundred people, who wouldn't be stunned when they saw them? Who wouldn't be confused!
"Viktor."
"Antiope."
Samuel called out both of their names and casually pointed outside: "Annihilate all of Ovakx's people, and announce to all Atlanteans that Atlanta has obtained the Trident and become the supreme Queen of the Sea in the ocean."
"Any disobedient ones, kill!"
"Yes," Antiope responded directly.
Viktor looked at Atlanta, and Atlanta said very directly: "His words are my words, and his meaning is my meaning!"
"Yes!"
Viktor immediately responded, turned around, picked a few trustworthy people from the Council, and left the meeting hall with the Thunder God Legion.
The winner is King, and settling scores later, these are all expected outcomes, nothing to say about that.
If Queen Atlanta had failed today, the people who supported her would also have been purged.
Here, I have to mention Viktor. Why did Samuel say he was not bad? Because in the movie, although he was one of Ovakx's people, he later assisted the Ocean Lord, Ovakx's son.
But he belonged to the category of being in Cao Cao's camp but having his heart in Han.
If he hadn't secretly gone to teach Aquaman when he was young, and at the critical moment had Mera inform Aquaman, with Aquaman's naive personality, he would never have found the Trident and defeated his half-brother who had been trained as a successor since childhood.
With Viktor and the Thunder God Legion taking action, purging the disobedient in Atlantis will not be any trouble.
As for the Thunder God Legion's breathing problem in the water, it is also easy to solve. There is no problem currently within Atlantis territory. Many places here have water-blocking membranes, and the inside is no different from the land.
After that, it depends on the attitude of the Zebei Kingdom. If the Zebei Kingdom is willing to surrender, the combined forces of Atlantis and Zebei are enough to conquer the other kingdoms.
Don't forget, Atlanta has already become the Aquaman, and with the Trident, she can command all Atlanteans, and the other kingdoms naturally also belong to the Atlanteans.
Furthermore, there is the Kraken, Karasen.
The Thunder God Legion can fully participate in the battles as support. In this way, using Atlantis' technology can solve the underwater breathing problem, and they don't need to make a wish to me!
How to say it, everyone only has one chance to make a wish. Samuel felt that merely giving them the temporary ability to breathe underwater was a bit too wasteful, after all, unifying the seven kingdoms is not such a difficult thing.
Among the seven kingdoms, the Exiled Kingdom and the Lost Kingdom are already names only. The Trench Kingdom was destroyed by me, leaving only the Zebei Kingdom, the Fisherman Kingdom, and the Saltwater Kingdom. With the Trident, not every kingdom necessarily needs to be resolved by force.
Getting off track, the main thing now is to solve the internal problems of Atlantis.
Samuel put away the Chaos Magic and wanted to sit down. Atlanta next to him directly pulled her to sit on her throne, and then moved a chair and sat down next to her.
Atlanta's actions made everyone remaining in the meeting hall understand that although Atlanta was the Queen of the Sea, this mysterious man was her King!
It seems their worries were not unfounded. Atlanta was indeed being used, and Atlantis no longer belonged to the Atlanteans!
Although some of them had betrayed Atlanta, their faith in Atlantis was still intact. As soon as Samuel sat down, several people launched an attack and rushed towards him.
The timing was quite good, and their skill seemed decent as well.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
With a few 'explosions', a few more headless bodies appeared in the meeting room.
"My name is Samuel, Void Lord, and also Atlanta's man. I have no interest in being the King of Atlantis, nor will I waste my time here managing you. Your King will not be me, it will only be Atlanta!"
"After dealing with you, I will support Atlanta in unifying the seven kingdoms."
"Thud!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several of those who had taken advantage of the chaos to stand up immediately knelt down.
"I am willing to pledge allegiance to Queen Atlanta."
"I am also."
"Me too."
Echoes of agreement rang out one after another. Looking around, only a few stubborn individuals were still holding out.
The reasons for these people's allegiance were nothing more than fear of Death or the reason of unifying the seven kingdoms.
These are irrelevant to Samuel. A community of interests is the most solid. Atlanta will rule Atlantis in the future, leaving her with a relatively stable situation. How she manages it in the future is up to her to decide.
As for those stubborn ones!
Just listen for the sound!
