Chapter 270

"This is the cruelest statement!!!" After Lansemello stated his position, he was quickly denounced by Fujimaru Ritsuka, "The deputy director who subconsciously separated himself from the scope of stakeholders when his fate is completely tied to us is an idiot!!!"

"I'm telling the truth, right?" Lansermello tilted his head in confusion. Before Fujimaru Ritsuka could launch the next round of condemnation, he quickly shifted everyone's attention to the two people who were currently at the center of the inherent barrier. "Well, anyway - before I leave the team, we can first sort out the current situation in the Arctic Ocean Pillar."

"... Let me summarize the situation in the Sea Realm." Camus, who had just finished a cordial exchange with Elzak, dragged his eldest disciple back to the crowd. "Although Elzak, who has been awarded the Scaled Cloth, is still struggling with his own position, the other admirals with the Scaled Cloth can basically be regarded as members of the Poseidon force - Garon's position may also be questionable."

"That means the seven strongest people in the sea realm have gathered together...right?" Fujimaru Ritsuka confirmed with Camus.

"Yes, and they also have corresponding images -" Camus moved his gaze to Lancermello and released his hand holding Elzak's collar, "The sea dragon of the North Atlantic, the seahorse of the North Pacific, the sea saint beast 'Scylla' of the South Pacific, the manta ray 'Kraken' of the Arctic Ocean, the sea prince 'Chrysaor' of the Indian Ocean, the sea fantasy beast 'Lymnades' of the Southern Ocean, and the sea witch 'Siren' of the South Atlantic."

"Ah, except for the two guys at the beginning, the others do have some origins." Kirshtalia, who managed the Atlantic Novel Zone twice, is very familiar with the myths of the Greek genealogy and explained to everyone, "Except for this one in the Arctic Ocean, the others are all related to the ocean in Greek mythology."

"The manta ray 'Kraken' in the Arctic Ocean—" Lansemero looked at the boy standing behind Camus and looked away subtly, "Although judging from the shape of his scales, he should be a creature called a manta ray, but the 'Kraken' is the sea monster mentioned in Norwegian folklore."

"I know! It's the kind of sea monster that is judged by ordinary society to be a giant squid or a giant octopus!" Fujimaru Ritsuka answered quickly.

"However, the compatibility over there in the Indian Ocean is a little bit subtle." Olgamari mentioned the admiral who guarded the Indian Ocean, "Sea Prince, it's India again... I almost thought it was the captain over there who showed up here. I didn't expect it to be Pegasus' brother - Chrysaor who also jumped out of the pool of blood formed by Medusa's blood."

"Considering Amphitrite's situation, I don't think Poseidon would dare to let Triton be his real subordinate even if he had a hundred guts - it's quite normal for a bastard to be in this position." Kirshtalia gave a sharp evaluation, combining the two admirals of the South Pacific and South Atlantic together, "As for Scylla and the Sirens, I think you should all be familiar with them."

"Of course, I mean, from the perspective of Odysseus and Circe."

"From this perspective..." Fujimaru Ritsuka was silent for a moment, and then replied in a subtle tone, "This is completely the content of a story, right? It's all what Mr. Odysseus experienced during his journey!!!"

When the sea god Grochus went to the witch Circe on the island of Aeolus to discuss love issues, she fell in love with Grochus, who was rejected by her. So, in a fit of jealousy, she turned the girl Scylla, whom she loved, into a monster. Scylla was later fed to six of Odysseus's men.

Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey" - after the Trojan War, in order to return to the woman he loved, Penelope, he crossed the ocean and encountered the fierce one-eyed giant Cyclops, the curse of Poseidon, the temptation of the witch Circe and the sea spirit Calipso, the song of the magic bird Sirens, the strait of the sea monster Scylla, the wrath of the god Helios, and other hardships, sometimes even at great cost, but finally overcame all difficulties and returned to the side of his beloved Penelope.

"In short, both Sirens and Scylla are sea monsters that threaten sailors and ships. Sirens will use their singing to lure ships to run aground, and Scylla will devour six crew members from ships passing through her territory." Lansemello glanced at Kirshtalia and Olgamari, "Is it okay for you to find a way to deal with it yourself?"

"Yes, we have no problem." Olgamari nodded and mentioned the last admiral. "Then, what is the sea beast 'Lymnades'?"

"You know nymphs, right? Sea nymphs are also a type of nymph." Lansemero mentioned the spirit base that was randomly put together by the Outer Gods and occupied by crazy nymphs. "Clytie is a nymph - and also a sea nymph. Lymnades, if I remember correctly, should be a water fairy similar to Undine or Rusalka."

"Of course, this is also a nymph - most likely from the genealogy of Naiads. I didn't see her name in the genealogy of Nereids." Lansemero raised his finger and mentioned the situation where Elzak was passively waiting for Camus' attack. "The original legend said that it would imitate the voice of the person that the traveler missed the most and ask for help, tricking the traveler into approaching the water, dragging him in and drowning him."

"As for the current situation..."

"Which one does Lord want to choose?" Kirshtalia skipped the summary of the admirals in the Southern Ocean and asked Lansemero about the next course of action. "The North Atlantic still needs to be left to them to resolve. Considering that the sea dragons are still deceiving the entire sea world, Amphitrite may not be able to directly bring everyone over... Moreover, a battle with the sea dragons will definitely alert the entire sea world."

"The reason why Camus' actions just now failed to attract the attention of the Pirates is that the Lord's barrier blocked the power fluctuations here."

"It's been a while since I've dealt with a guy who specializes in illusion." Lansemero smiled as he chose his next destination and tilted his head to everyone, "I'm going to the Southern Ocean Pillar next, and I'll communicate with Amphitrite to confirm her progress - although I don't want to discuss the relationship between her and Poseidon, even if she doesn't care, Poseidon doesn't care either..."

"Who else would care..." Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled awkwardly, moving his eyes away from the paper materials of the Sea Warriors that he had just printed out not long ago. "From this point of view, there is absolutely no possibility that Miss Amphitrite can make this ocean obey her orders - so we still have to fight?"

"It's not like we can't beat him." Olgamari raised her hand and patted Kirshtalia's shoulder, smiling as she threatened her senior in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka, "This is a man from Dioscuri who fought Zeus to a draw, killed him twice and still lives as a god. If Ritsuka is an excellent commander, then he is the top individual combat force in Chaldea."

"Of course, the deputy director is an exception."

"You're being threatened, Kirshtalia-senpai." Fujimaru Ritsuka expressionlessly reminded Kirshtalia, who was struggling to fake a smile in response to Olgamari's powerful pat on the shoulder, "Stop smiling, your shoulder must be hurt by Director Mary's pat. Your face, Kirshtalia-senpai's face is frozen."

“There’s no need to use enhanced magic in a place like this, right?!” Kirshtalia decisively avoided Olgamari’s clutches in a moment of frustration, and while running away in circles, she protested loudly, “Besides, that meteor shower can be used here——but we are at the bottom of the sea! A meteor shower suddenly hits the bottom of the sea in broad daylight!?!”

"You brought Ishtar with you, didn't you?" Fujimaru Ritsuka turned off the Servant's illustration display on his computer and said calmly, "Ishtar's Noble Phantasm can only cause an undersea earthquake, which shouldn't have a large-scale impact on the life order of ordinary society. The task of saving people will be left to the pirates who will unite the front later."

"Ritsuka - you would never consider such a method that would have such a large-scale impact!!!"

"I can open a Underworld under the Sea Realm as a token of friendship. As long as your Noble Phantasm is destroyed, we will directly lead the entire Sea Realm into the Underworld to fight, and we don't have to consider whether it will affect ordinary society." Lansermello, who stood aside with his arms crossed and watched the show, gave a suggestion. "Anyway, if we don't tear it down now, it will be the turn of the five Bronze Saints to tear it down in the future."

"...I'm just giving you a suggestion - after all, you won't really do it." Fujimaru Ritsuka subtly turned his eyes away from Kirshtalia and Olgamari, and found that Lansemello had transferred the communication from the control room to Kirshtalia's communicator. "Is the deputy director leaving?"

"Well, I'm going to meet the successor of Naiades." Lancer Melo put his hands in his pockets and began to count his inventory of ceremonial clothing. "Merlin has been surprisingly well behaved recently. Even Abe and Tai Gongwang have been denouncing him less frequently in the crown chat room. Now that I have a similar guy, I'm going to start a live broadcast for them and collect data at the same time."

"If you're curious, you can go find Noah and he'll explain it to you."

"Okay, I understand."

After Lansemello lifted the inherent barrier and left the Arctic Pillar, Olgamari and Kirshtalia stopped their previous actions at the same time, resumed their work status as the director of Chaldea and the captain of Team A, and looked seriously at the three people who were going to go to the North Atlantic Pillar with them in the end.

"Let's go, let's deal with the sea dragon first." Olgamari clapped her hands, held her head high and led everyone towards the North Atlantic Pillar. "Even if we have to go to war with the Sea Realm in the end, we have to finish off this guy first - after all, Poseidon is still on the shore."

"There is no better time than now to raid the Sea Realm - we must seal Poseidon again before Athena returns to the Sanctuary."
