292. The Traitor Princess (4k)(1/2)
Atlantis.
Ellie is sitting at the desk reading materials borrowed from the library, and quietly recording the contents on the control board's panel. Unfortunately, none of the books she has access to now contain any important information. Her father
After being imprisoned, her status as a princess was just a name, and her birthright was deprived of her by the supreme Three Wise Kings.
It is precisely because of this that she is worried about whether the information she provided to the mysterious organization is enough to make them listen patiently, and whether they will care about the possible upcoming war between land and Atlantis. These questions make her doubt the next step.
I felt quite uneasy about the meeting.
But this is what she must do. Although the exposure will probably make the situation of herself and her father worse, so it is not impossible to lose her life. Although the status of the princess is very noble in Atlantis, but let her
The only one who is special is her prince father.
If the matter is exposed, then she will commit the death penalty of treason.
Although the princess has some privileges, the current situation is very special, and Ellie also heard that they are planning to support a new prince to fill the vacancy of the Twelve Princes due to his father's imprisonment. This also makes Ellie increasingly concerned about
I feel increasingly anxious about my own fate.
If this continues, she may never have a chance to stand up again, because her father may be secretly executed by then.
So she must let her father regain his freedom before that, and she doesn't care what price she has to pay. Ellie knows very well that this will probably make it impossible for them to live in Atlantis, so since they have to escape like this
Just fine on land.
Although she has not experienced any big storms, there have been many exchanges of political interests in history. If it were her father, he might be able to reach some kind of deal with the current rulers of the land in exchange for their protection.
She closed the book and sighed softly.
Ellie's reading allowed her to realize at this moment how naive and unrealistic her thoughts were. Today's three wise kings have all lived for at least a thousand years. Princesses like herself are not like other children in front of them.
any difference.
How could he rescue his father before they stopped him?
Reality is not a fairy tale.
In fact, Ellie is still very hesitant about what she is going to do deep down in her heart. Although Atlantis will undoubtedly be the unjust party in the war that may come, her father also taught her when she was a child what is...
What is right is wrong.
And unlike her compatriots, her father also told her that the people living on land were ordinary people who were no different from them. This made her realize clearly that the evil nature of the land people as a race that had been spread in the royal city recently was just that.
An excuse before the war.
Maybe the rulers on the land are those benevolent and wise kings that can only be seen in books. They are probably a kind and righteous country, and they are the evil invaders in the story, who will bring fire and death to the happy and fair land.
But even so, if her father had not encountered such a thing, she would not have considered informing the land, because she could see that countless Atlantis warriors would probably die as a result, and
They are all fellow countrymen outside the battlefield.
Not to mention the imminent ancient evil god and the terrifying sea tribe hiding in the deepest trench.
Although not as horrifying as the Three Wise Kings claimed, they were indeed constantly eroding Atlantis' defense line and consuming their resources. The corpses of countless warriors fell into the abyss and turned into structures of the sea tribe.
Food for the nest.
And just as the original prophecy of the Four Wise Kings said, she will awaken and rise in the seventh millennium, and together with the false god on land will bring the end of the two worlds, this is an imminent real disaster, and this is also the end of the world.
The cause of the war.
It was hard for her to imagine what fate her country would fall into if the evil god really rose. However, the growing threat of the Sea Tribe was seen by every Atlantean. If Atlantis did nothing,
Theis is going to be really hit hard by them.
After Ellie's father just learned about this, he thought of a more reasonable and ethical approach - that is, to join forces with the current rulers on the ground to fight against this evil god that might threaten them.
It's what they should do.
But the Three Wise Kings only saw the sea tribe in front of them, and did not think about the evil god who was about to rise, and would even form a grudge against the land for this reason. These teachings from his father made Ellie think of the best possibility.
If she can stop this war peacefully and get them to sit down and join forces to fight against the evil god, then the land kingdom and Atlantis will achieve an acceptable "win-win", but if not,
…
At least she has to rescue her father.
With this thought, she closed her eyes on time.
"You want to see me?"
Ellie opened her eyes, looked at the conference room in front of her that she had only been to once, and then turned her attention to the human being opposite who couldn't clearly see his specific appearance.
"Yes." She said firmly, "I would like to ask if we are an organization established by humans on land?"
Ma Enmohu replied unclearly:
"We feel that it is our duty to the entire world, and as I said, the purpose of the Watchers is to protect this crumbling real world, and all the countries and social structures in which we live, from intelligent life living on this planet.
be destroyed.
"You have news for us related to the land?"
Ellie nodded heavily:
"Yes, I once reported that Atlantis has ambitions for land, but the actual situation is more complicated than this. My father was once a spy chief who was sent to land for reconnaissance work, but he met him there.
Arrived my mother.
"So I can be regarded as half a land person. It is also for this reason that my compatriots are actually somewhat prejudiced against me."
Ma En nodded:
"So you don't want to see war happen."
Ellie replied:
"That's right, and my mother may be on land now. My father never mentioned her situation to me.
"But now I can't ask questions, because he was arrested and imprisoned shortly after returning to Atlantis because he disagreed with the unanimous decision of the Three Wise Kings to launch a conspiracy on land.
and force you into war with our enemies.
"And the situation I faced was that my father would probably be imprisoned forever, or even be executed secretly.
"So I came to ask for your help."
Ma En deliberately asked in a curious tone:
"You want me to stop this conspiracy on behalf of the mainland in exchange for your father's freedom?"
Ellie looked a little struggling:
"Well, this is an unforgivable betrayal to my countrymen, but I have no other choice.
"If you hadn't found me, I might have been able to just wait for news about my father until I died, or I might have done something outrageous, and in the end I would have been imprisoned or executed secretly.
"And there is a reason why I found you now. I just got the news that Atlantis is about to have a new operation. In fact, it was a bit late when I found out. Although they still trust me, they have not notified me in time.
I have this important information.
"So I only recently learned that they sent a second wave of more elite and professional spies a year ago, and after this exploration they had enough understanding of your world. When important news came back at the earliest,
The Three Wise Kings almost changed their minds because of the information they received, because they heard that there was a strong man named Shen Xiao in the land kingdom.
"But later we learned that your rulers and other races and forces teamed up to seal this dangerous human being. This also made the Three Wise Kings completely reassured. This matter not only solved the problem that originally caused
They were very worried about the dangerous character, and it also strengthened the confidence of the Three Wise Kings that they could win this war.
"Because they feel that this incident has demonstrated the stupidity of the land country, and they have no possibility of failure in the face of such an enemy.
"But maybe it's more complicated than they think, right?"
The girl looked at Ma En expectantly, hoping to hear him say that this incident did not mean that the Federation was stupid.
Ma En nodded slightly and said:
"Yes, the situation is indeed more complicated than what they see. I am more inclined to believe that the Federation was forced to have no choice. There are some irreconcilable conflicts between them and Shenxiao. Although the current approach has many disadvantages, it is probably already
The best outcome for them.”
But in fact, he himself didn't know whether what he said was true, but in any case, he was unwilling to think of his enemy as a fool. It would be a bit too arrogant to think about it, and it was impossible for Shenxiao to really lose to
idiot.
Ellie nodded:
"I think so too, but I think this incident has indeed made the Three Wise Kings look down on you, and it is an undisputed fact that you are currently weak. No matter how you look at it, now is the best time to start a war.
"So the Three Wise Kings sent the third advance force. They will sneak into your southern and northern areas under the cover of the first two waves of spies. These two areas are relatively chaotic and have loopholes that can be caught. This time their
The goal is not just to gather information.
"We are going to start planning to find a suitable place in your territory to cause a tsunami, and use ocean magic to submerge your cities, and bring you into the war we are in now, and this matter will not be considered
your feelings.
"After their plan is completed, even if you know the truth, you will have no other choice. This is a very insidious conspiracy. At that time, you will only be forced to fight with us against the terrifying creatures in the ocean, or you will tremble with us.
Destruction together.
"But after something like this, we can't really fight side by side. I doubt whether this can really prevent the rise of the ancient evil god under the sea, and there will definitely be many innocent land people before the plan is completed.
Dying with the Atlanteans will only sow the seeds of hatred among us.
