Chapter 1612 Mermaid

"Damn it, Winter actually tore up the peace agreement! This is betrayal! This is betrayal!"

"Don't be naive. The merfolk are brutal by nature. I have already told the leader not to trust the merfolk easily. Now...sigh..."

A palace was built in the waters of Atlantis. This was the location of another demon force in Atlantis besides the mermen.

There were more than a dozen figures here, discussing something intensely, but there was no one sitting on the throne in the hall.

If Ye Ye were here, he would probably breathe a sigh of relief. Because the fairy tales he had read as a child did not lie to him. Mermen really existed. They were completely the opposite of the mermen. If the mermen had fish heads and human bodies, then the mermaids had human heads and fish bodies, which perfectly matched the human impression of mermen.

The two demon tribes each had their own territory. The fishmen built the Fishmen City on land, while they could only live in the sea and were forbidden to go ashore. The fishmen were so powerful that they could not raise their heads, and even once drove them to extinction. However, all this changed after Winter, the leader of the fishmen, took office.

The first thing Winter did after taking office was to temporarily stop the war. He even came to their territory in person, claiming that everyone was a compatriot and should not kill each other. He actively sought peace and hoped that the two tribes could reach a peace agreement and develop together.

For the two races that have been fighting for so many years, this result is unacceptable to the people, soldiers, and even the top leaders of both sides. However, Winter didn't know how to convince the top leaders of the merman tribe, and the other side actually expressed their willingness to accept Winter's orders.

Thus, the two sides entered a period of peace that lasted for six hundred years. Although there were still frequent frictions between the two tribes on the border between the Fishman City and the coast, those minor fights did not cause any serious consequences. The Fishmen even took the initiative to initiate trade to help the other tribe develop.

But all of this changed after the huge crack appeared in the sky.

"Winter tore up the agreement, and we had no countermeasures at all. Six hundred years of peace made us give up developing the army and force, and focus on production and trade. The ambitions of the murlocs began six hundred years ago, and we were completely unaware of the sudden emergence of a large number of murloc troops."

"We are the nourishment of the merman tribe. The demon field has been opened. If Winter wants to unify Blue Star, he must reach the ninth rank. The merman tribe, which has been breeding for six hundred years, is his food."

An elder of the mermaid tribe said with a wry smile that in just half a day, hundreds of thousands of mermaid people were killed or injured. The other side killed fish for their blood. The blue sea had been dyed scarlet, and even the sky was reflected in the blood-red color.

The most crucial thing is that they have almost no ability to resist. The fighting talent of the murlocs is already overwhelming that of the mermaids. They have been deceived by Winter in the past six hundred years and almost gave up the development of their army. Faced with the sudden emergence of the murloc army, they can't resist at all.

Seeing that the mermaids, who had grown to such a large size after 600 years of reproduction, were about to be eaten up as food, all the mermaid leaders felt sad.

"The king sent Princess Sofia away to preserve the bloodline of our mermaid clan. If that doesn't work, we will fight them!"

"That's right! We mermaids are not pushovers!"

"If all else fails, we will risk our lives to send the best talents in our tribe away! The mermaid tribe cannot be exterminated!"

The tones of the mermaid leaders were filled with sadness and determination, but what would it matter even if they fought?

According to their calculations, in three days, just three days, the millions of mermaids would be slaughtered completely. By then, Winter, who had absorbed the blood of their entire tribe, would successfully be promoted to the ninth rank. They would also become stepping stones for Winter to start his own journey to becoming a hero.

No one would be willing to accept such an outcome!

"Don't be so pessimistic. Maybe there will be a turnaround."

A cold and old voice suddenly appeared in the hall.

Everyone looked at the throne with surprise, only to see a figure appear on the throne that was empty just now.

"King! You're awake!"

"Great!"

"Your Highness! What should we do? Winter is going too far. Let's just fight them!"

The high-ranking members of the mermaid tribe looked at the mermaid on the throne, their king, Robert.

This is the wise man of their mermaid tribe. The mermen are brutal by nature. Over the past thousand years, they not only invaded their own tribe, but also fought endlessly within their tribe. The leaders were frequently replaced in the first four hundred years until Winter came to power.

The king of their mermaid tribe has sat on this position for a thousand years, and all the mermaids respect him very much.

"Didn't Sophia go out? As long as she finds humans and brings them to Atlantis, we may be able to cooperate with them to resist Winter."

"Even if Sophia doesn't seek help from humans, she can still escape the pursuit of the mermen with her abilities. We mermaids still have a chance to make a comeback."

Robert spoke, but his face was pale and he spoke incoherently, looking weak, which made the mermaids below feel distressed.

When Winter launched an attack on the mermaids, Winter brought four of his eighth-grade subordinates to raid the mermaid palace in order to kill the mermaid leader who had lived for a thousand years.

If Robert died, the mermaid tribe would have collapsed first. Unfortunately, due to the desperate resistance of the mermaids, Robert survived, but he was seriously injured and had lost his fighting ability.

"King! I don't understand! Why did we sign a peace treaty with the murlocs six hundred years ago? The murlocs will never let us go. We should have fought them six hundred years ago!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Robert. You know, the person who signed the peace treaty with the mermen six hundred years ago was Robert!

Hearing the doubt, Robert sighed secretly.

"We'll talk about this later. Inform all the tribesmen to shrink the defense line and retreat. Don't make any more unnecessary sacrifices. Even if it comes to the end, we still have the final means of counterattack. Winter wants to raise leeks, but I must let Winter know what it means to raise a tiger to cause trouble. Go down."

Robert's words were not to be questioned, and everyone nodded when they heard it. Especially after hearing that Robert still had a last resort, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After everyone left, Robert's calm face became haggard. After coughing violently twice, he looked up at the top of the hall with lifeless eyes.

"Sophia..."

He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to send Sophia away. After thousands of years, what has mankind become?

Do all the characters from that time still exist?
