Hippolyta was taken aback: "Why?"

"They...they are...."

The female warrior tensed up, her eyes blazing with anger: "They called us vulgar and rude barbarians, saying that diplomatic relations between two countries should be based on equal dialogue, and demanded that Your Majesty personally welcome them. They even prepared a welcoming ceremony."

"Damn Atlantis, as arrogant as ever."

Hippolyta and Ndiopet exchanged a glance, and the latter frowned as she spoke.

Who said these words?

"A person who claims to be a court secretary."

"What about the princess of Atlantis?"

The female warrior became even angrier at the mention of the princess: "That woman has never looked us in the eye, she's as proud as a rooster."

Endiop fell silent. If he had any doubts before, his worldview was now completely shattered. No normal person would play the princess, and even if they did, they wouldn't be so arrogant and uncultured. Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice, "(Money is good)."

"I will go find them."

As the queen's sister, her status was comparable to that of the princess of Atlantis.

Hippolyta nodded affectionately.

“Bring Setter along; she’s familiar with Atlantean culture. If you’re sure she’s a princess, bring her to the palace.”

"Understood, Your Majesty."

Endiope mounted his warhorse and led two squads of warriors out of the royal city. Meanwhile, in the cave, Xu Fuwus, acting as the "steward," pointed at the female warriors around him and shouted.

Is this how Amazonians treat their guests?

“We are carrying out the king’s orders to cross thunderstorms and tsunamis to find a hidden island to ease tensions between the two races. You rude Amazons actually forced the noble princess to walk to the royal city. History has correctly recorded that you are a cruel, lowly, and savage native group, without any manners or traditions.”

"When I return, I will definitely tell His Majesty the truth of what happened today, and ask him to send troops to surround the island and seek justice for Her Highness the Princess."

Chapter 1372 The City of the Amazons

Andy Opal witnessed a miraculous scene.

The butler, who still had a childlike heart, suddenly transformed into armor. The falling armor fragments shimmered with a faint red light and involuntarily flew upwards.

The mysterious wizard remained silent throughout, and his actions became even more bizarre: he used purple light to create a magical flying carpet, which carried two people into the sky, allowing him to survey the surrounding crowd.

Mocking? Taunting? Or demonstrating strength?

Whatever the reason, Ndiop was furious; she raised her whip and slapped her horse hard on the back, and Gwen's black horse let out a loud neigh, stamped its hooves, and charged north ahead.

The tall female warrior followed closely behind, while Xu Fu's three subordinates rode leisurely behind.

In the distance, a golden-red city, gleaming with light, appeared on the plain. It sat atop a hill, its summit facing the setting sun.

The low city walls and Doric-style temple architecture gave Xu Fu the illusion of traveling through time.

The city had many residents: merchants, hunters, farmers, blacksmiths... all of whom were women, and all of them were strong and healthy.

At Andy Opal's command, the streets were immediately cleared, and the Amazons standing on both sides of the road watched curiously as three figures flew overhead.

stranger?

The immortals have a somewhat vague concept of time. They vaguely remember that decades ago, a man named Steve Trevor 843 came to Paradise Island. Later, Princess Diana disappeared, and then they heard that she went to the human world. They don't know how she is now.

Xu Fu silently observed his surroundings and roughly deduced the progress of Amazonian civilization from the food and tools he observed.

Incredibly, thousands of years later, they still live in the campfire era, wearing leather armor, carrying bronze weapons, engaging in no entertainment, and on the contrary, living a long and healthy life.

I don't know whether to feel sorry for them or envious.

Mela also looked at the city structure that had left no trace, and the more she looked, the more puzzled she became: Is this really the fighting race that her teacher said could rival Atlantis?

With such defensive capabilities, Zebel could destroy the entire city with just one fleet.

In addition, she discovered a strange phenomenon.

...

The palace was located at the highest point in the city. By the time they arrived, it was already dark. Xu Fu, citing the fatigue of the journey and the need for rest, postponed his audience with the queen until the next morning.

Ndioppe agreed without hesitation, and the three were taken to the west side of the palace, where the Amazons prepared the purest water and the most abundant food before retreating far away.

Everything was prepared according to Xu Fu's requirements.

After Andy Opal left, Mela suddenly sat down in a chair and asked in a low voice with a puzzled look on her face.

"Have you noticed that this town is a bit strange?"

"There are no children or elderly people here."

"You noticed that too."

Carol nodded: "I've noticed that the town is mostly populated by young women between the ages of twenty and thirty-five, and everyone is very strong."

"What I'm trying to say is, they're incredibly strong," Carol added in a low voice. She was a woman too, and although she was awestruck by the Amazon's physique, she felt no envy: men have their beauty, and women have theirs; there's no need to force yourself to change your physical characteristics and become a muscle man.

Mela blinked and asked, puzzled.

"Then how will you reproduce if you don't have children?"

Xu Fu laughed strangely and said, "You want to ask: how can you have children without a man?"

The two women rubbed their eyes at the same time and huddled together to chat.

Xu Fu took off his coat and stood by the window, looking at the city under the night sky through the floor-to-ceiling windows. To be honest, he didn't like this island at all. It was backward and dull, and all he could see were a group of emotionless puppets. Thousands of years of repetitive life had erased their yearning for a better life. Only the daily combat training could make them find some of their former passion.

Amazonians are undoubtedly strong; even vendors can easily carry 200 kilograms. Unfortunately, in a confined space, that strength is useless.

Speaking of which, there's a box of my mother's things!

Xu Fu's eyes flickered. After thinking for a moment, he slowly shook his head: One box of mother cells is enough. Two boxes together might become a target for Apokolips.

The Wolf of the Wasteland is nothing; the important thing is Uncle Da.

"Xu Fu, what are you looking at?"

"A beautiful view."

Xu Fu whistled: "I've discovered that Amazonians don't wear underwear."

Carol jumped up from her seat and pulled him away from the window: "This is not the time to worry about that. We are to have an audience with the Queen tomorrow, and you must tell us your plans for the future!"

“No plan is needed. The moment we confirmed their identities, the initiative was already in our hands. They didn’t have many choices.”

Mela asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Xu Fu sighed: "This island is too backward. Both humans and Atlantis have the ability to destroy it easily."

Carol and Mela both fell silent. The Amazons were physically very strong, even slightly stronger than the Atlanteans. Unfortunately, their weapons were just too hot. What era were they living in? Still riding horses and shooting arrows? Did they really think firearms were a joke?

"Of course, these are all superficial phenomena." Xu Fu added, "It cannot be ruled out that the descendants possess the power of ancient gods. Such beings cannot be measured by ordinary combat strength."

Meanwhile, in the central hall of the palace, a bonfire was burning brightly.

The firelight illuminated the ancient god murals in the hall, where a meeting was being held. Queen Hippolyta, King Endiope's sister, Captain Philippe of the Court, Mina Leper, and other important figures from Paradise Island were all in attendance.

Setter explained in detail the situation of Xu Fu and the other two, including his own judgment, and Phillips spoke in a deep voice.

"Is that red-haired woman really a princess of Atlantis?"

"Based on current intelligence, there is a 70% probability."

This sentence silenced the entire room. Paradise Island was isolated from the world, protected by a magical barrier. The Amazons knew nothing of the outside world, and the outside world was unaware of Paradise Island's existence.

The balance has now been broken. Atlantis has discovered the location of Paradise Island, which means that they will be in a completely passive position once war breaks out.

Andy Opal said in a deep voice, "I think this princess came to the island not just to form an alliance, but for other purposes as well."

"Is she spying on our troops?"

"Yes."

Ndioppe nodded solemnly, turning his gaze to Mother Hippolyta: "Your Majesty, we must take the initiative."

"Then what do you want to do?"

“Show our strength like they do, and tell the underworld that the Amazons have been a powerful fighting tribe from the beginning.”

Setter nodded.

"I agree with this suggestion. We are the owners of this land, and we cannot allow outsiders to look down on us."

Chapter 1373 Forced into a Dead End

The arrival of Xu Fu and his two companions completely disrupted the peaceful life on the island. At the call of Queen Hippolyta, a grand welcoming ceremony began early the next morning.

A group of fully armed soldiers appeared in the square. Their tall stature, agile figures, and resolute expressions proved their strength. But unfortunately, when they mounted their warhorses and drew their bows, the scene suddenly turned bizarre.

Xu Fu tensed up, and Carol and Mira's lips twitched slightly, creating an indescribably eerie atmosphere.

Andy Opal proudly stated, "Every Amazon is a powerful warrior; we have nothing to fear."

Xu Fu translated this sentence to Mira, and Mira forced herself not to laugh out loud.

Setter noticed that the three of them were acting strangely, so he asked, "Does Your Highness feel a little uncomfortable?"
