Chapter 931: The Era Of The Surface Dwellers End

 n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Within the War Council of the Ocean Races...

"Everyone here has agreed that the Ocean Races must unite as one if we want to succeed in overthrowing the Surface Dwellers," the Prince of the Nagas, Prince Baltic, stated. "So we must set an example to those who still refuse to join our Great Plan."

A beautiful Mermaid Princess with long dark-green hair and blue eyes smiled faintly as she listened to the Naga Prince's declaration.

She was one of the three Legendary Mermaid Princesses, and her name was Ariel. The mermaid who gained the Cauldron of Dagda.

Right across her, another beautiful lady, but with long blonde hair and blue eyes, frowned.

Just like Ariel, she was also one of three Legendary Princesses, and thus, shared the title with Illumina.

Her name was Princess Wilhelmina.

"Must we really do this?" Princess Wilhelmina asked. "The Kingdom of Saphirus is one of the oldest Underwater Kingdoms. They have always taken a neutral stance in everything, so why must you persecute them?"

"Why else?" the King of the Sea-Snakes chuckled. "It's because Prince Baltic wants to pin Illumina down on his bed."

"The Naga race is still a lustful race," the Manta King commented. "Though of course, not as lustful as the Sea Dragon's Race."

"Hahaha!" the Sea Dragon King laughed. "Well, I have to admit that Illumina is indeed quite a catch. If Prince Baltic were not so hell-bent on getting her, I might just add her to my harem. But since we are all friends here, I'll just let him have her."

"Baltic is so lucky!"

"I wonder how delicious the flesh of a Mermaid Princess tastes?"

"Hahaha! Don't even think about it."

"Why not?"

"You have the face of a sardine, and you wish to taste the flesh of a Mermaid Princess? You're not qualified, fool!"

The other representatives of the Ocean Races joined the discussion. But some of them didn't want to attack the Kingdom of Saphirus because they had good relations with King Beltram and Princess Illumina.

Most of those who had joined the War Council had merely been forced to take part out of fear of offending the person who sat in the highest seat at their conference table.

Even Princess Wilhelmina, who was close friends with Illumina, didn't dare to offend such a person, knowing that if she did, even her own Kingdom would fall into ruin.

Throughout the discussion, the handsome middle-aged man who went by the name Oceanus merely listened to the bickering of the Ocean Races with his eyes closed.

However, when things were about to get out of hand, he opened his eyes, and a ripple of power expanded outward, making everyone shut their mouth and look in his direction.

"Right now, the Ocean Races must stand united," Oceanus stated. "Either they join us, or they will be destroyed. The Kingdom of Saphirus is indeed an Ancient Kingdom, and that is exactly what makes it the perfect sacrifice to force the other Ocean Races to join our cause.

"By making the Kingdom of Saphirus an example, they will understand that we won't take no as an answer. However, Illumina is still a threat, so I will ask Princess Ariel and Princess Wilhelmina to deal with her. Do the two of you have any objections?"

"I have no objections, Your Excellency," Princess Ariel replied.

"... Understood," Princess Wilhelmina replied with a calm expression on her face. However, deep inside, she was feeling sorry for her friend, who had refused to join the Great Plan.

Truth be told, Princess Wilhelmina was very tempted to ally with the Kingdom of Saphirus to resist the Great Plan.

Unfortunately, their Kingdom was in the center of the Kingdoms that were supporting the Great Plan.

If they rejected the proposal, they would be besieged on all sides, which was the deciding factor that led her Father to reluctantly agree to join the War Council.

The Kingdom of Saphirus was located in the Southwest, so they were quite far from the other Kingdoms.

But it was also because of this that they became the target of everyone, which would eventually lead to its destruction.

"Spread the word," Oceanus declared. "In two weeks, our armies will gather to conquer the Kingdom of Saphirus. After that, we march our armies to the shore, and make the Cities of Men, Dwarves, Elves, and Beasts know that their only option is to bow their heads to our rule."

King Oceanus raised his Trident, making everyone feel the power of a Colossi.

"The Era of the Surface Dwellers ends," King Oceanus sneered. "The Dynasty of the Ocean Races begins!"

A loud cheer erupted within the War Council, with all the members shouting and chanting King Oceanus' name.

Prince Baltic grinned evilly, for King Oceanus had already promised that he would be given Princess Illumina as a reward for his loyalty.

Princess Ariel glanced at Princess Wilhelmina and smiled sweetly.

"It is quite unfortunate that in two weeks, Illumina will no longer share the glory of being one of the three Legendary Mermaid Princesses," Princess Ariel said. "However, she will become the Legendary Concubine of Prince Baltic.

"I'm sure that her Epic will spread across the ocean and be remembered for eternity. It has been a while since I've become excited over something. I look forward to seeing how her story will end."

Princess Wilhelmina gave Princess Ariel a sidelong glance before shifting her attention back to King Oceanus.

With a Colossi taking the lead to enact the Great Plan, there was no way that Illumina would survive such a tribulation.

'Illumina, you said that you intended to meet your promised one, but I'm afraid that you will no longer be able to do that,' Princess Wilhelmina thought. 'I wish that there was another way to save you. Unfortunately, my hands are tied.'

Princess Wilhelmina closed her eyes as she tried to shut out the cheering around her.

Princess Ariel looked at her with amusement, and a sweet smile plastered on her beautiful face.

Among the three of them, the most popular one was Illumina, so Ariel had always held a little grudge against the Mermaid Princess whom everyone hailed as the War Princess of the Sea.
