143: Brutal elder! Assassination team!
Everyone was stunned, then orderly unfastened the empty waterskins they had just drunk from, and handed them to the brothers who volunteered to fetch water with Kevin.
Looking at the comrade who silently took the waterskin, a warrior was momentarily surprised.
Then he opened his chapped lips and softly said,
“Thank you, brother!”
“...”
Everyone was stunned.
Then, when they handed the waterskins to their comrades, they also added a word of thanks.
“Thanks!”
“Thank you, brother!”
“Thanks!”
“You’ve worked hard, brother.”
“Thank you!”
“...”
At this moment, when everyone was exhausted and too lazy to even move a muscle!
A tired “Thank you”... gave these surviving Atlanteans a faint warmth... Time rewound to ten minutes ago!
Just as Wu Tian’s men were still on their way to Atlantis Royal City... a large meeting was being held in the Mayan army’s main camp!
“...”
“Elder Godo, please speak!”
“How should we fight this battle from now on?”
A chubby Elder smiled and asked the Elder sitting in the main seat.
Although he was smiling.
But there was a chilling coldness in the fat man's smile!
Anyone who saw it would feel a sense of discomfort.
A typical Smiling Tiger Elder with a twisted personality!
Extremely dangerous!
“Clack...”
“Clack...”
The crisp sound of knuckles tapping on the table echoed, one after another.
“Clack!”
After a long while.
The tapping stopped in the crude main camp, and the Great Elder, sitting in the main seat, glanced at the two empty spots at the very end, his brows furrowing slightly.
“Elders Moyutu and Lamore are already dead!”
The Great Elder’s voice was low and hoarse, like sawing wood, extremely grating and unpleasant.
But this voice carried a strong sense of coercion.
Except for the Smiling Tiger Elder who was sitting in the second position just now... the other Elders didn't even dare to breathe heavily!
“...”
“I heard he was killed by a new King of Atlantis!”
“This new King...”
The Great Elder’s voice slowly turned cold.
“I don’t even seem to have heard of him!”
“Kov!”
The Great Elder looked at the Elder ranked fifth and said faintly,
“I want an explanation!”
“Your men...”
“Why didn’t they get this information?”
“And!”
“I also didn’t know that the Atlanteans’ combat strength had undergone a drastic change. You tell me...”
The Great Elder smiled 'gently'.
“Don’t be afraid!”
“Speak boldly and without worry!”
“Hehe...”
“...”
Drip... A drop of cold sweat instantly streamed down the temples of this Elder named Kov.
“I...”
“Actually, it’s because...”
In his haste, Kov immediately tried to stand up to answer the Great Elder’s question!
However... Bang!
Kov directly bumped into the stone stool behind him.
The stone stool fell directly to the ground!
Instantly... Kov’s movement of standing up froze!
He slowly turned his head with a look of despair towards the Great Elder, opened his mouth, and was about to explain!
“...”
“Oh dear!”
The Great Elder slowly took out the long scepter from under the table.
Then he gripped it tightly in his hand.
He beckoned to Kov, who was not far away.
“Why are you so nervous?”
“Come, come, come!”
“Come speak in front of me!”
“It’s alright, I... I can speak from here, I don’t need to...”
“...”
“Come over here!”
The Great Elder roared!
“Come over and speak!”
Then he looked up at the latter and said, word by word,
“Alright!”
“I... I’ll come over right away...”
“Please wait a moment, my leg is a bit numb...”
“...”
Enduring the fear and apprehension in his heart, Kov stiffly walked towards the Great Elder in the main seat.
Then he stopped in front of the latter.
Trembling, he slowly opened his mouth and said,
“Hehe...”
“Great Elder, it’s like this, because...”
...Pfft!
Just as Kov opened his mouth, about to explain to the Great Elder.
The Great Elder plunged the sharp end of the scepter in his hand... directly into Kov’s abdomen!
Blood splattered!
“Useless!”
Frowning, the Great Elder gently pushed with his hand, expressionlessly pushing Kov’s corpse to the ground, and frowned in disgust.
He looked at the Elders and muttered to himself,
“What a waste!”
“He even bumps into things when he stands up. What right does he have to sit with us? He should just die!”
“And he even ‘hehe’s with me?”
“Hehe...”
The Great Elder let out a low, sinister laugh.
“A good-for-nothing dares to ‘hehe’?”
“Everyone, tell me...”
“Isn’t that right?”
“...”
Everyone was stunned, then all recovered from Kov’s death, and chuckled at the Great Elder.
Everyone pretended to agree and loudly said to the latter,
“Exactly, exactly!”
“How can someone who can’t even perform his duties properly be qualified to be among our Twelve Elders?”
“He should have died long ago!”
“His problem led to our huge sacrifices!”
“He deserves to die!”
“Dying like this is too easy for him!”
“...”
“Hmm!”
Just as everyone was speaking up and criticizing the deceased, the Great Elder gently nodded and 'hmm'ed, and everyone instantly fell silent.
They looked at the Great Elder.
“Alright, let’s not talk about him anymore!”
“I remember the biggest hidden danger should be that new King of Atlantis, right?”
“This person, does he have some skill?”
The Great Elder looked at the others around him and asked.
“Uh...”
“He does have some skill, but he’s just an ordinary person after all. We only need to send people to assassinate him, and then there will be nothing to fear!”
“Just like a month ago...”
The Smiling Tiger Elder smiled slightly.
“When we killed the previous King of Atlantis!”
“...”
“Oh?”
The Great Elder turned his head and glanced at the Smiling Tiger Elder.
He asked inquiringly,
“Last time, it should have been you who sent people to assassinate the previous King of Atlantis, right?”
“This time...”
“Shall I also leave it to you?”
“...”
The Smiling Tiger Elder smiled slightly, looking at the Great Elder without any fear, and nodded.
“Happy to serve!”
...Ten minutes later, as the scorching midday sun shone into Atlantis Royal City, beneath the dense shade of trees covering a certain part of the Royal City, two figures slowly stirred.
“The water source is just ahead.”
“Here...”
“We should be able to wait for the Atlanteans. As long as we change into their clothes, then...”
“Shhh...”
Suddenly, the other person reached out and covered the speaker’s mouth.
He whispered,
“Don’t talk!”
“Someone’s coming!”
...“Everyone, hurry up, quickly replenish our water and let’s go back. We can still catch some extra rest!”
“Damn Mayans!”
“Who knows if they’ll give us a moment to breathe!”
Not far away, Kevin’s voice came.
The two figures in the shade were stunned.
Then one of them clenched his fist.
“Captain...”
“He called us ‘damn’!”
