The Atlantean Prince's Scheme

The France president was both excited and puzzled.

He didn't know why his friends in the East would send a message at this time, but for the France in their current state, could the news be any worse?

Obviously, this does not exist.

Faced with the only light in endless darkness, a light as pitiful as a firefly, even though the hope was extremely small, pitifully small, the France president did not want to give up.

Video call connected.

Wu Hui's image appeared on the screen.

The France president stated bluntly, "Our friends in the East, we need your help."

Wu Hui smiled and said, "Mr. President, please be patient. We are aware of your country's predicament, but we hope you can understand our difficulties. Because the situation is changing too rapidly, although we are willing to provide assistance, we are truly powerless to do so."

The France president's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice, "The situation is urgent now, so let's be frank. Your contact with us now can't just be about explaining why you can't send reinforcements, can it?"

Wu Hui smiled and said, "There's an old saying in the East: times have changed. Given how rapidly the situation is changing on your side, we believe the conditions for our support need further negotiation."

The conditions for providing support will be further negotiated!

The president and his cabinet ministers looked at each other, some bewildered, some delighted.

The East is still willing to support us!?

※※※

An airplane, like a divine weapon, streaked across the Weilan sky, tearing through the thick clouds.

The interior of the plane is luxuriously decorated; it's like a living room specifically for receiving guests.

Li Hao and Wu Hui sat on the sofa in the living room, next to a wine cabinet filled with rare wines from all over the world.

Wu Hui smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Li. I am your guide for this trip to France, and also your assistant on this mission."

We have now reached a new cooperation agreement with France. In order to safeguard our future interests in France, we need your personal intervention to resolve the Atlantis."

Wu Hui blinked and chuckled, "So, Mr. Li, when you make your move, please don't just take out the France. Our country is a peace-loving nation, and we hope that international peace can be maintained, and that there won't be any major unrest."

Li Hao smiled but did not respond to the question.

He was just joking around, teasing these guys. Li Hao had no interest in killing unless it was absolutely necessary.

However, Wu Hui's words made Li Hao think of something.

A completely new agreement—does this mean that Great Xia has once again taken advantage of France?

Li Hao was curious, but had no intention of asking further. If it weren't for the concern that Great Xia might lose those precious artifacts forever after Atlantis wreaked havoc on France, Li Hao wouldn't have had any interest in making a move at all.

He glanced around and said lazily, "I have to say, you guys are really stingy. You sent such a small plane to support the France?"

Wu Hui stood up, opened a bottle of wine, and laughed, "With Mr. Li alone, we can defeat a thousand troops. Why bother with a large force? One plane is enough."

Li Hao raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on his face, and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be better and faster for me to just fly there? It would even save me the trouble of using this plane."

Wu Hui poured two glasses of wine, and seeing Li Hao's expression, he knew that the other party already understood.

He didn't hide anything, placing a glass of warm red wine in front of Li Hao, and said after a moment's thought, "The situation with the France is very troublesome. Atlantis's offensive was too swift. Most importantly, we still don't know what methods Atlantis used to destroy the France."

As Wu Hui finished speaking, he lightly tapped the coffee table in front of him.

But then the projection equipment above the living room lit up slightly, and then a holographic projection appeared above the coffee table.

The scene displayed above showed the Atlantis spaceship advancing towards the City of Romance. Wherever the Atlantis spaceship passed, chaos ensued throughout the city.

Wu Hui said in a deep voice, "These are images taken by our satellites, combined with information obtained from France. Wherever the Atlantis spacecraft passes, the electromagnetic waves are severely affected, causing great chaos."

This chaos can cause short circuits, loss of mobile network signal, and in severe cases, damage to circuit boards. France now almost completely cut off from the outside world, with only a few specific communication lines still functioning normally.

That is precisely why the France suffered a crushing defeat in such a short time.

The most troublesome problem is that we cannot determine what methods Atlantis used, let alone how to effectively defend against them.

Li Hao nodded slightly.

The revival of spiritual energy is relatively recent, and the brilliance of modern civilization relies primarily on technology.

This has led to human dependence on technology; once we lose the help of technological products, many things will fall into chaos.

After a brief silence, Li Hao said with a playful tone, "But these things shouldn't have any direct connection to my flying, right?"

Wu Hui said with a wry smile, "Sir, please let me finish."

Li Hao casually shrugged, indicating that you should continue.

Wu Hui said, "Currently, we know nothing about Atlantis's purpose."

Judging from the current situation, although Atlantis has annihilated the France resistance forces in a short period of time, they have not engaged in any negotiation with the France, nor have they carried out any destructive actions.

According to our intelligence, Atlantis is capturing humans.

Li Hao frowned slightly.

Capture humans.

He had previously scanned the west with his divine sense and hadn't noticed whether Atlantis was capturing humans.

Wu Hui: "But the other side is not capturing humans aimlessly; rather, it is selective and planned. It's just that we currently have too few clues to know anything special about the humans they are capturing, nor can we determine their purpose."

The whole world is currently watching Atlantis's actions and trying to find out Atlantis purpose. Our country is no exception. Atlantis is not only an enemy of France, but could also be an enemy of Great Xia. Therefore, my mission is to find out Atlantis's purpose as much as possible."

Wu Hui paused slightly, looked at Li Hao meaningfully, and said in a low voice, "Moreover, a chaotic and weak France is in the interest of Great Xia."

Li Hao had already guessed this, so he wasn't surprised by it.

Because if he were in that position, he would have made the same decision.

Li Hao raised his glass and smiled, saying, "May our cooperation be pleasant."

Wu Hui also raised his glass in response.

While Li Hao and Wu Hui were leisurely making their way to France, France had already descended into complete chaos.

The entire country has fallen, and most mobile phones and computers are unusable; only special channels allow access to the outside world.

But for ordinary people, such channels are inaccessible and they have no opportunity to access them. So when mobile phones and computers became useless, people were horrified to find that they didn't know how to contact their family and friends.

This has led to the spread of panic.

Meanwhile, as the France descended into the worst chaos in its history, Atlantis did not stand idly by outside the City of Romance. While they did not continue their attack, they did send out a large number of shark warriors.

These shark warriors piloted small flying vehicles, heading towards various parts of the France.

Each time they return, they bring back a large number of humans.

Atlantis, the flagship.

A handsome man, whose appearance was very similar to that of a human but whose forehead was covered in silver scales, gazed out at the outside world. His pupils were slightly narrow and elongated, which was clearly different from human pupils.

This man was none other than Frande, the King of Atlantis, and the mastermind behind the fall of France.

Behind Frande stood a being with a blue fish head.

His body resembled a human's, but was noticeably more slender, especially his arms, which reached all the way to his knees. His head resembled that of a catfish, giving him a distinctly Eastern the Myth fish-like appearance.

This man was Hua Na, Frande's assistant and also the vice commander of this warship.

Hua Na said, "Your Highness, the other countries in the surrounding area have remained restrained and show no signs of attacking us. Currently, the only known country intending to aid France is the Eastern Empire. Should we continue to wait?"

Frande's eyes narrowed slightly, his handsome face remaining calm.

He gazed at the world outside the window and asked, "Hua Na, what do you see?"

Hua Na blinked in confusion, then looked out through the attic window.

The City of Romance beautiful and radiant. Even when shrouded in chaos, its dazzling, pearl-like splendor remains undiminished.

After a brief silence, Hua Na said, "A beautiful land."

Frande's lips curled into a meaningful smile, "What I see is the future, a vast and boundless future."

Hua Na shook his head slightly. "Please forgive me, Your Highness, I do not understand."

Frande said slowly, "In the eyes of these poor humans, we are an irresistible and unstoppable force. But in the grand scheme of this world's history, we, Atlantis, are merely an insignificant existence."

Do you know what we're facing right now?

It is an unprecedented and glorious era that will never be repeated in the future. All ancient beings are returning, and all ancient life will descend once again.

This is an unprecedented challenge for humanity on Earth, and it is an enormous challenge for Atlantis as well.

If we want to grow, if we want to expand, if we want to survive this upheaval, and if we want to become stronger, we must expand, and keep expanding."

As Frande spoke, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a chilling glint within.

Hua Na hesitated, "But my king has already reached an agreement with other countries; we only need the France. If Your Highness breaks this agreement, the king may be displeased."

Frande scoffed, a playful tone in his voice. "If other countries attack us first, retaliating wouldn't be considered a violation of the treaty."

Hua Na paused for a moment, then quickly understood what Frande meant.

Entrapment!

No wonder the prince never attacked the City of Romance; he was giving them a chance to call for help!
