Chapter 391: Plan
Morton patted the bricks of the house.
"Although this place is simple and crude, no matter what, the basic operation is still normal. This means that even though Allie was taken away, the 'bad guy' is not completely abandoned and is still in operation…Casa should also know about your plan, right?"
"Yes." Lei Luo nodded.
"In terms of character, Arthur is more reliable, but he is too practical and has no talent. He can't control the situation at all, so he can only rope Casa in."
"Why didn't you tell me this on the way back?" Morton asked in a resentful tone. "If you had told me so early, you wouldn't have thought so much."
Lei Luo looked at Morton. "To be honest, I quite like that you don't think and do things for the money. It's good for you."
"All right, let's talk about something more practical, such as the next plan…"
Morton pouted without being curious.
"It's very simple. Our next goal is to leave the 'bad guy' within a month and get our own place."
After that, Lei Luo marked a city less than 150 miles away from the 'bad guy' on the map.
"The target is here. Its owner has named it 'the blessed. 'After a month, its name will be changed to 'Journey.'"
After carefully checking the official information about this empire, Morton shook his head.
"The defense level of this planet is almost fortress-level. This means that, according to conventional battle tactics, even a lord-level main fleet might not be able to take it down. And now, we…"
As Morton said this, he suddenly frowned and turned to look at Lei Luo.
"Don't tell me you want the pirates to help us fight this battle?"
Lei Luo's eyes widened, and he acted as if it was something that was implicitly agreed on.
"Why not? Allie is still a great beauty. After being kidnapped by them for so many days, shouldn't they make some blood?"
"Since you've made up your mind, don't keep us guessing. Tell us the specific plan quickly."
After a while, when Lei Luo told Morton everything about his plan in detail, Morton couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
"Lei Luo, isn't it a little too dangerous for you to do this? If we follow the normal path, no matter how fast we are, it will take three to five years for us to gather enough strength to deal with the chaotic world."
"Let's not talk about three to five years now. It might not even take three to five months. Using the right path won't work at all."
"Then we can only use a strange strategy. Do you think I'm happy about it? My plan will be found out by Allie sooner or later. When that violent woman finds out that I intentionally let her be captured, God knows what she will do."
Morton thought for a while after hearing what Lei Luo said. It seemed that this was indeed the only way.
Moreover, if Lei Luo's plan was successful, his talent as a businessman would also be able to expand. Therefore, he finally nodded.
"All right. Let's do it!"
Lei Luo and Morton were in the carriage. After discussing about 60-70% of the key details that needed special attention, the carriage had already arrived at another hidden house.
This was the new village that was being built.
Because of Casa's dispatch and the money Lei Luo had secretly transferred, the hundreds of people who came with them appeared very calm. Their faces showed as if they didn't care if the sky was falling for as long as they were paid on time.
Lei Luo pulled Casa to the side and quietly asked, "How many people died when the pirates came to steal Allie?"
"Not a single one died," Casa said indifferently. When Lei Luo heard this, he became anxious.
"What? Who told you to arrange it like this? You should at least beat them up and kill a few people. Otherwise, wouldn't Allie be suspicious? Are you trying to get me killed?"
"By the gods of heaven and earth, this was not arranged by me. The pirates rushed up with 6,000 people at once. I didn't give the order at all, and everyone gave up resisting on their own accord."
Lei Luo looked around. These people were either Casa's old subordinates or the disgruntled ones who had been sent there. None of them were willing to be there.
None of them were loyal to Allie or anyone in the leadership. Such an army was facing enemies that were ten times more powerful than them.
Giving up on resisting was also a matter of course.
"All right, then we'll continue with the plan. I'll give you half a month. Go to the nearby planets to recruit soldiers. Recruit 30,000 people first. These people must all appear at the 'bad guys' within half a month."
"30,000 people? Although the territory is big enough to house more than 100,000 people in theory, there aren't all kinds of things here. There's not even a barracks. How can 30,000 people live here?"
Lei Luo rolled his eyes, revealing the whites of his eyes.
"This is not my problem."
Casa frowned and thought for a while.
"All right, I will think of a way, but I need money."
"You have money. I will give you 1 million, 600,000 for recruitment, and 400,000 for construction."
"1 million?" Casa's eyes widened.
"Is that enough? We just started building an army, and we still have to defend against pirates. We must have started from small boats, and each boat only has about 300 to 400 people. 30,000 people, that is 100 boats."
"This means that we need 100 commanders. Just the cost of these commanders is far more than a million."
"These 600,000 people just need to recruit soldiers. As for commanders, there's no need to recruit them."
"Not recruiting commanders? Then who will be the commander of this ship?"
"I naturally have a way, you don't have to care…"
"Why do you always say 'I naturally have a way'? Do you really have a plan?"
Looking at Casa's doubtful eyes, Lei Luo chuckled.
"Don't you think it's too late for you to doubt me now?"
Hearing what Lei Luo said, Casa could only swallow all the words in his stomach.
He shook his head helplessly and went to do his business.
"You're planning to direct all the ships by yourself, right?"
After Casa turned around and left, Morton, who had been standing not far away, walked up.
"The senate has controlled the entire empire for almost 400 years. After the senate took power, the first thing they did was to establish the empire's military academy and take over the right to train military commanders. Apart from a very small number of private education, more than 99% of the military commanders in the entire empire are from the empire's Military Academy. Today, 400 years later, the total number of military commanders trained by the senate has already accounted for 80% of the military commanders in the empire. This is a group of military officers who are loyal to the so-called military ethics instilled by the Senate and are even more loyal to their employers."

Chapter 392: Grizzly Pirates
"Are you worried that they won't carry out your orders while carrying out the plan?"
"No, they won't, because although my operation this time is risky, it doesn't violate the military rules of the senate."
"The reason why I don't want to recruit these officers…"
When Lei Luo said this, he shook his head contemptuously.
"It's because I don't need obedient children by my side. I like people who are not accepted by the world."
When Lei Luo said these words, Morton saw that deep in Lei Luo eyes, there seemed to be something secretly burning that was hidden deep inside of him.
Morton could not understand why Lei Luo had was strongly prejudiced against officers who came from regular backgrounds.
He could not understand the burning mystery in Lei Luo's eyes.
"It's not an easy thing to control hundreds of ships by yourself. I believe you have the ability to do so, but I think you might need a good weapon."
"Ah, yes, I almost forgot. I do need a weapon. You should be able to get it, right?"
"I can think of something."
"Besides, we only have one million gold coins for backup. All the rest of the money will be used to buy warships, recruit soldiers and mages, and buy equipment and weapons."
Morton used to trade in military goods. There was no doubt about it. Needless to say, it fell on him.
He thought for a moment and said, "I need half a month. Besides, I doubt that our port will be able to hold so many ships."
"Our port can only be used by us. You can take the other ships directly to the blessed land. The Grizzly Pirates have a liaison office there."
"Okay, then I'll set off now."
Morton was about to leave when he turned his head and looked at Lei Luo,
"Speaking of which, we're all busy, but what do you plan to do for the next half a month?"
"Pray," Lei Luo said seriously.
The next day, a huge army arrived at the port of the "bad guy" and countless ships.
Each ship was allocated according to the minimum number of people, which was the minimum number of people that could barely maintain the normal sailing of the ships. A total of nearly 30,000 people were needed.
Lei Luo, who had come out to pick up the ships, was shocked when he heard that he had bought so many ships at once.
He had thought that there would only be one-third of the number of ships, but he had no idea that there would be so many ships at once.
"Morton, you're really capable. You actually bought so many ships."
As soon as he entered the ship and saw Morton, Lei Luo smiled so much that his eyes were half-closed as he gave him a bear hug.
"It just so happens that the Dark Dragon Alliance and the Big Dipper Alliance are having a great time. They're short of money, so they tossed out such a sum. We just happened to bump into them."
"When we wake up in the future, we'll really have to treat the lords of the Dark Dragon Alliance to a meal."
"With so many ships, the success rate of our plan will be even higher…"
"However, from the looks of it, the original 30,000 people are definitely not enough. We'll have to find another 50,000 people to succeed. However, this has nothing to do with us. Let casa handle this kind of crap. After all, he was born with a mission."
"How should we divide these ships?" Morton asked at this time.
"We'll keep all the light ships. As for the remaining ships, we'll have to trouble the brothers here to make a trip and transport them all to the blessed land."
"So many ships, and all of them are given to the Grizzly Pirates?" Morton grimaced in pain.
"I can't bear to part with my children. If I want them to completely trust me, I have to give them such a great gift."
"All right, then I'll go first. When will you come?"
"Over the past few days, tens of thousands of people have come one after another. Now that there are so many ships, I have to settle down. I'll just take care of some things. I'll need three to five days."
"Hmm, that's fine too. Anyway, you're acting as a big shot. As a big shot, you have to show off. It's fine if you're a few days late."
That night, a piece of news reached Zha Mu, the leader of the Grizzly Bear Pirate Gang.
"Ulysses sent someone."
The Grizzly Bear Pirate Gang wasn't considered a big pirate gang, because if it was a big pirate gang, they wouldn't bother to curry favor with Ulysses in exchange for benefits.
Of course, the Grizzly Bear Pirate Gang wasn't considered a small pirate gang either, because if it was too small, they wouldn't have dared to capture Allie.
If it was a small pirate group, they might have been attacked by a larger pirate group that wanted Allie.
In reality, Zha Mu was a pirate with ambitions. Kidnapping women wasn't something he was willing to do.
The main reason was that when he attacked a merchant group, he was ambushed by a Lord and suffered heavy losses.
He urgently needed a sum of money to expand his strength, which was why he had done so.
However, when he had really captured Allie and sent a letter to Ulysses, he had not expected to receive any reply for almost a month.
He had even thought that it was just a rumor that Prince Ulysses wanted Allie.
Now, Prince Ulysses had finally sent someone over.
"Where is he?"
"He's in the blessed land."
The blessed land was an abandoned mine.
As a pirate gang, as a pirate cave with their lives, they naturally wouldn't show it to others easily.
And now, the Grizzly Bear Pirate Gang used this place as their liaison office.
"How many people came? How much money did they bring?"
"Only one person came. He didn't bring a ship, but he brought a ship."
"Ship? How many ships?"
"A total of 130 light ships and 220 paddle sailboats."
When the pirate leader said this, his face turned red with laughter. It was obvious how satisfied he was with this gift.
Zha Mu didn't think much of it. "130 light ships and 220 paddle sailboats?"
"The number is not bad. It's just that Prince Ulysses has such a high status. Why didn't he send a few main battleships instead of sending small ships?"
"Even if it's two or three, it's still good. Our grizzly bear pirate gang is at a disadvantage because we don't have any main battleships. If we had dozens of heavy battleships, how would we be so miserable?"
"This…"
"It's rare to have such an opportunity, we can't just count it like this," Zha Mu said as he stood up.
"Let's go, I'll make a trip personally. I need more things."
After saying that, the wooden horse left the pirate's lair and took a ship to the blessed land.
At this time, Morton had just finished handing over the ship. Before he could even sit down, he saw a dark and tall man walk in.
Thinking of how powerful Allie was back in the Dark Dragon Alliance, Morton could not help but swallow his saliva in fear.
Even though he was only an accomplice, and even though he knew that Allie wouldn't be in any danger, he was worried because in any case, he was involved in using Allie as bait to lure the pirates in.
If Allie found out about this, she would surely kick him in the face.
Oh god, wherever she kicked him, he would immediately turn into sand.
He didn't want to die so young.

"Mr. Morton, why don't you look well?"
"Oh, I'm fine. It's just that…Princess Allie is so fierce."
"Of course. Our warehouse is made of steel plates, but she has already kicked it six times to reinforce it."
"It seems that Princess Allie's body is very healthy. I don't think I need to meet her anymore. Let's wait for the official to arrive first."
Morton looked at Zha Mu with a half-honest and half-fake look of embarrassment and fear.
"Princess Allie is not happy to be with her highness. If I meet her and she is impulsive, then…"
"I understand, I understand."
Zha Mu patted Morton on the shoulder.
"How about this, the CEO will be staying with us for the next few days. We have nothing else but a bunch of whores. We snatched them all. Mr. Morton, you can choose anything you like."
"Thank you, thank you. Just give me a quiet room to read in."
Zha Mu raised his head and gave the instructions to the leader beside him. "No problem. Give the president a quiet room. Also, give the president ten top-notch whores to serve Mr. Morton and order them not to speak. Unless the president gives the order, they can't make any sound."
Morton smiled bitterly. He did not know what to say, so he could only let him be.
Three days later, Lei Luo wore clothes that cost more than 600 gold coins and carried a box.
In the box, there were two sets of clothes that were even more expensive than the one he was wearing. They soon arrived at the nest of the Grizzly Bear Pirate Gang.
After more than 30 years of construction, this pirate nest had become a fortress.
For more than 30 years, the Grizzly Bear Pirate Gang had relied on it to survive.
The lives and wealth of the tens of thousands of people in the nest, including the elderly, the weak, women, and children, were all dependent on it.
"When the empire collapses, the only strength I can rely on is probably people like them."
When the ship approached the pirate's lair and was about to arrive, Lei Luo silently looked at the people living in the pirate lair.
Unlike ordinary civilians, the space that the pirates had was very limited.
Therefore, their buildings were built in a plain and unadorned manner. Everything was based on the principle of practicality, and there was nothing gorgeous or useless about them.
Because of the possibility of being attacked at any time, when the pirates returned to their nests, their lives would become extremely regular and regular.
Once they were attacked, the residents of the nests would be able to find their own posts in the shortest time possible and start to defend their homes.
Although the leaders of the pirate gangs were generally not very capable, because of the quality of the members of the pirate gang, the pirate gang wasn't at a disadvantage in the battle with the Regular Army.
In the early stages, the quality of the soldiers was more important than the quality of the commander. This was Lei Luo's policy, so it was no wonder that he was drooling over these pirates.
"Commander…"
When the ship docked at the harbor of the lair, Lei Luo saw a burly man and Morton coming to greet him.
Upon seeing him, Morton immediately bowed humbly.
Lei Luo just waved his hand lightly as a return salute.
These were all things that he had discussed with Morton beforehand.
He wanted to wear high-end clothes, be cool, and have a noble demeanor.
Seeing that Morton was so respectful, Zha Mu quickly walked forward and extended his hand towards Lei Luo.
"Aiya, Lord Envoy, you've finally come."
Lei Luo frowned and used his gloved hand to pat Zha Mu's hand. It was considered a handshake.
"Leader, there's no need to be so polite. Find a quiet place and quickly settle the matter. His Highness is still waiting for news from here."
Lei Luo's behavior made Zha Mu very unhappy. However, thinking that he was Prince Julius's trusted aide, he had to ignore it.
Moreover, he was there to send money.
Endure it. Forget it. In this day and age, whoever had money was the boss.
Everyone went straight to the meeting center.
Zha Mu gave the seat of honor to Lei Luo. He was too lazy to show off to this old master.
"I wonder what His Highness is planning to give us? What we need the most now is gold coins. We are lacking many items for the people. Recently, the empire has been cracking down on us. There are also many mercenaries on the merchant ships. It's not easy to steal things."
Lei Luo blinked his eyes and said. "Aren't you all pirates? Why are you afraid of mercenaries?"
"Everyone knows that our area is one of the three great pirate bases in the Empire. There are tens of thousands of pirate nests wandering in the entire region. We have been committing crimes and breaking the rules since our ancestors. It was the same when Victor was emperor. Now the Senate is in charge, but we are still the same. We like to be free and don't like to be controlled by others. Just as the messenger said, we will snatch whatever we lack. We will only be fed with blood. But recently, our days have not been so good. We don't dare to touch the goods that are too troublesome. The main reason is to protect our strength."
"You are not a regular army. Only a regular army will be weaker and weaker. Pirates are stronger."
"That's right…Messenger, do you know that there are a total of top-tier mercenary guild pirate missions? One of them is to destroy the Satan's wings pirate group."
"I've heard of it."
"I don't know, but I've never heard of such rumors. Not long ago, the Doomsday Dusk Alliance, which just destroyed the East God Alliance, is likely to accept this mission?"
"Oh? How come I haven't received any news at all? It should be just a baseless rumor, right?"
"There are more than a hundred million pirates in the wings of Satan, and countless warriors. Even if the senate were to launch an all-out attack, it might not be successful, let alone an alliance."
Although he said that he did not believe it, Lei Luo was actually very interested in it. If the news was true, then his next step would be settled.
"Just as the messenger said, if the pirates can unite as they did before, then even if the senate comes to suppress them, we are not afraid. But now is different from the past. Since the birth of the law of succession, many people have come to our area to recruit people in order to fight for the throne. The prices they pay are very high. Although we pirates like freedom, we don't like freedom more than money."

Chapter 394: Beautiful Holy City
"Those guys paid a lot of money, so in the past ten years, many of our powerful pirates have turned to mercenary groups."
"As time goes by, most of the powerful people have left, so the remaining forces have started to expand rapidly. Among them, the three strongest pirate groups are Black Beard, Masra, and Flame."
"Any pirate gang that was close to them had to hand over 30% of the goods they plundered. Otherwise, they would be wiped out
"Many people were unable to endure the disturbance and were forced to leave their familiar shipping routes to look for new shipping routes. But not long ago, these three forces suddenly established a pirate union together. They also released news that the Doomsday Dusk Alliance was about to receive the Alliance mission to wipe out Satan's Wings."
"I suggest that all the pirate groups preserve their strength and join the wing of Satan Pirate Union to resist the upcoming disaster."
"In that case, it's just their one-sided statement. The reliability is very questionable."
"To be honest, I didn't believe the news at first either. However, the problem is that I saw many things with my own eyes. Several pirate groups that I'm familiar with suddenly disappeared from their area of activity. I asked other friends. Some said that they were taken in, and some said that they were wiped out. However, no one could provide any evidence, which made people very cautious. Therefore, I'm now half-skeptical about this news, and I'm only doing half of the things. I don't want to join the union, but I want to protect my strength."
Hearing this, Lei Luo reached out his hand and stopped Zha Mu, who was speaking with confidence.
"If His Highness is willing to take you as a mercenary group, are you willing?"
"His Highness?"
Zha Mu was stunned for a moment, then he laughed.
"Envoy, you aren't joking with me, right? What kind of person is His Highness? How can he look up to people like us?"
"Whether he looks up to you or not, it's not up to you. It's up to His Highness. So if there is such a chance, are you willing to cooperate or not?"
Seeing that Lei Luo seemed to be serious, Zha Mu started to feel tempted.
He glanced at Lei Luo, and his eyes started to move.
"No matter what, there are so many people in the Grizzly Bear Pirate Gang. Even though you're the leader, I don't think one person can make up his mind. It's better to ask for the opinions of others first. There's no rush."
As Lei Luo spoke, he acted as if he wanted to stand up.
"This is a pirate gang, not a senate meeting. There's no need to hold a meeting to make a decision. I alone can do it."
"But…I don't quite understand. Why would His Highness want to take in people like us? Isn't he afraid that we would be a huge liability?"
"Although His Highness has actually taken you in, His Highness will not give you any written agreement, nor will he admit his relationship with you. But we will give you money regularly, and you will do what we ask you to do."
"What can we do for His Highness?"
"Who knows? Maybe there will be something for you to do tomorrow, or maybe you will not be needed for the rest of your life."
"May I ask, what is the general treatment of the Grizzly Pirates?"
"How many people do you have?"
"300,000 women and children and 100,000 warriors."
"In that case, all kinds of daily necessities, as well as the cost of gold coins in the nest, maintenance, and maintenance of the fleet, your annual maintenance fee should be around 10 million gold coins, right?"
Lei Luo did some mental calculations.
"Yes, about that."
"20 million annual employment fee. When we have no mission for you, you are allowed to plunder. Once you suffer a great disaster, we will provide you with a city to take refuge in. Within a certain range, we can also provide you with military support. What do you think of this condition?"
"Although His Highness'conditions are good, all these conditions are only spoken by the king. If His Highness turns hostile in the future, what should I do?"
"Don't worry, His Highness has already expected this. In order to avoid your worries, I will sign the contract with you. Although I am not His Highness, I am His Highness's confidant. If you agree to the terms in the contract, then His Highness will have to sever relations with me. To put it simply, he will have to sacrifice me. In other words, His Highness has bet me on you. I wonder if the regimental commander feels that this bargaining chip is enough?"
Zha Mu didn't expect Ulysses to give him any guarantees.
But now, this person who was once a big shot like Morton was willing to give him a guarantee in disguise.
That was naturally the best.
"All right, the mercenary group's standard agreement is very simple. You can download it online. Later, we'll just sign it. Now, let's talk about business. I wonder what His Highness plans to reward us with?"
"Not a penny, not a boat…He'll give you a city…"
"A city?"
Lei Luo took out a map and found the city that he had been studying for a long time.
"Beautiful Saint City—the richest city of Governor Dasha, a member of the Anglo-immortal Economic Union. Its population is 70 million, and it's the most important weapon production area among the 26 cities under Lord Dasha. In the city's warehouse, there are three million gold coins, various military supplies, iron ores, and a total value of more than 50 million gold coins…Everything in this city belongs to you."
"Lord Emissary, do you know the defense of the Holy City of beauty? Let's not talk about anything else. Just the four thousand magic cannons alone are enough to turn us into ashes before we get close."
"If these defenses work, that is indeed the case."
Lei Luo's words were not hidden, and Zha Mu found it hard not to understand.
"Envoy, do you mean that Lieutenant Da Sha will go easy on us?"
"Unless His Highness gives him permission, he will not go easy on us. But if His Highness gives him permission, doesn't that mean that he has something to hold over us? Do you think His Highness would do such a stupid thing?"
"So, Lieutenant Da Sha won't go easy on us? Then how are we going to get those things?"
"In order to keep the defensive structures in combat state at all times, basically all the defensive structures in the empire are on alert at all times. But even when they are on alert, they still consume magic power. The defensive structures also consume magic power when they are on alert. The more defensive structures there are, the greater the consumption. When they are in a state of war, the defensive structures' alert state will be raised to the highest state. The mana consumption in this state is tens of times more than usual. When the number of defensive structures reaches a certain number, it will bring a heavy burden to the entire mana system. Recently, the union of immortal and economic cooperation and the Union of Phoenix are in a state of war. I think you know this."

Chapter 395: Written Off
"In order to defend against the Phoenix Alliance's attack, the alert status of all the defensive structures in the Holy City of Beauty has been raised to the highest level."
"Just as you said, the Holy City of Beauty's defense has reached an amazing level."
"In order to maintain the mana requirements of this astonishing number of defensive structures, the Holy City of Beauty must transport mana crystals from a nearby city every 20 days for their use."
"The messenger means that we attack the troops that transport magic crystals?"
"Exactly."
"What's the use of that? It's impossible that the holy city of beauty doesn't have magic crystals that are used during wartime."
"Of course they do, but they won't be able to use them."
Lei Luo smiled faintly.
Zha Mu revealed a knowing smile.
After that, they discussed a little more about Sister Xie, and almost everything was settled.
Both of them were very satisfied with the outcome of the negotiation.
At this time, it had been almost five months since Lei Luo and Allie had separated.
Lei Luo made a timely request to visit Princess Allie.
After receiving the benefits, Zha Mu naturally agreed to all of them.
Lei Luo, who was covered in armor and looked no different from a heavy-armored knight at first glance, turned to Morton and asked, "Do you think I can dress like this?"
"Well…Princess Allie's combat strength has always been…"
Morton coughed when he said this.
When he saw Lei Luo turn towards him, Zha Mu hurriedly said, "Uh…This is the best close-fitting armor for our Grizzly Pirates. If it's any stronger, we can only use magic armor."
Lei Luo let out a long sigh and said sorrowfully, "All right, for His Highness…"
"Open the door!"
"If the emissary is really worried, why don't we use Sleeping Magic First?" Zha Mu said fawningly.
"There's no need. Allie will be His Highness's person sooner or later. If we treat her like this now, we will regret it. She will be with His Highness in the future. If she sues us, neither you nor I will be able to bear it."
Zha Mu thought about it and agreed. He did not say anything else.
Allie was probably tired from the past few days.
She was lying on the bed to sleep. When she heard the heavy door slowly open, she immediately sat up from the bed.
Two people appeared at the door. She gazed a the man's armor.
She was a little confused at first, but then, when she saw the pair of eyes hidden behind the helmet, she immediately recognized the person.
"Hello, Princess Allie. My name is Lei Luo. I am the envoy of His Highness, Ulysses. When His Highness found out that something had happened to the princess, he was burning with anxiety…"
After blabbering on and on, he saw that Allie's originally open mouth was slowly closing.
Allie had retracted her finger. Lei Luo knew that Allie understood. His identity could not be revealed.
Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. He thought to himself, 'Oh my god, I'm already dressed like this, yet you can see through it. This is really…'
Allie only knew that Lei Luo was supposed to be there to save him, but she still could not figure out what Lei Luo was up to.
So she did not say anything. She just turned around and looked very angry.
"Princess, His Highness told me everything. He knows that you left this time because he did not fulfill his promise to give you a city as a place to stand."
"So, apart from rescuing the princess, he also asked me to deliver a message. It's not that he's unwilling to give you a city, but he hasn't chosen which city to give you."
"Now, he has decided to hand over the holy city of beauty to you and specially sent me to assist the princess in obtaining this city."
Hearing Lei Luo's words, Allie's eyes lit up.
"You mean…the city?"
"Exactly. Could it be an abandoned village?"
As Lei Luo spoke, he took out a map and displayed the location of the Holy City of Beauty in front of Allie.
"The Holy City of Beauty. The senate will place great importance on economic cities. With a population of 70 million, the city will have everything that a city should have. Military supplies are an important source of shields. Civilian supplies are famous for jewelry and luxury goods, and the most reassuring thing is that the Holy City of Beauty has a strong defense structure. The city's defense structure is also extremely powerful. Even without the cooperation of a strong army, it is enough to ensure safety…"
After listening to Lei Luo's introduction of the Holy City of beauty, Allie's eyes were dazed.
"Lei Luo, can you really give this city to me?"
"Of course I can't."
Lei Luo laughed and reminded her, "But His Highness Ulysses can do it."
After Lei Luo's reminder, Allie immediately woke up.
"Then…does he really keep his word this time?"
"Sigh, when has His Highness not kept his word?"
"It's just as the princess said. It's not as simple as eating bread. It's only natural that His Highness needs more time to plan."
"Princess, don't be anxious. The revival of the East God Alliance is not something that can be done in a day or two."
"Who can trust empty words? You said that he was serious this time. Then show me the real evidence," Allie said as she stretched out her hands.
When Lei Luo heard this, he raised his hand slightly.
He patted his hands with difficulty. Outside the door, Morton and Zha Mu, as well as the pirate warriors who were guarding them, filed in.
"Let me introduce you. This is Morton, the former president of Morton Chamber of Commerce, His Highness's new representative in the Third Province."
Lei Luo first pointed at Morton.
"Hello, Princess Allie."
Morton politely nodded and said, "Yes."
Allie nodded and automatically ignored Morton.
She knew that it was the conspiracy of these two people.
"This is the captain of the Grizzly Pirates. He sent someone to rob you."
Lei Luo turned his hand and pointed at Zha Mu.
Allie's eyes immediately widened, and she was about to make a move. Seeing this, Zha Mu instinctively trembled and wanted to retreat.
The pirates behind also took half a step forward, and they all acted as if they wanted to protect the emperor.
Lei Luo reached out and grabbed Zha Mu, stabilizing his body. He turned his face and said to Allie with a smile, "Princess, His Highness gave this city to you, but he still needs this Captain Zha Mu to cooperate with you. How about you guys just treat the past unhappiness as a misunderstanding and forget about it?"
"That's right, your highness. We had no choice in robbing you. Our brothers are really poor. Please forgive us, Princess."
"This time, we went to seize the 'Holy City of Beauty' for Your Highness. We, the Grizzly Pirates, have nothing to say. We will definitely do our best. We will not give up until the last person dies in battle."
"Enough, Captain Zha Mu. Don't go too far in expressing your loyalty. We won't let you die in battle until the last person dies."
At an appropriate moment, Lei Luo shot him a sarcastic remark.
Zha Mu chuckled and didn't say anything. Allie looked at Lei Luo and then at Zha Mu.
She thought to herself, 'Just what kind of show is this?'
"He's just a mercenary pirate. Why should he help me?"

Chapter 396: No Doubt About the People We Use."
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Allie looked at Lei Luo.
"Oh right, it's precisely because he's a mercenary pirate that he's willing to cooperate with us."
"However, it's not enough for them to make a move on this matter. I'm afraid the princess will have to make a move herself."
"I'll make a move? How?"
"Princess, don't be anxious. Listen to me explain the entire plan…"
About half an hour later, Lei Luo had already explained the whole plan in detail.
After listening to the whole plan, Allie asked doubtfully, "According to what you said, this territory belongs to the lord of the distant mountains of the Commonwealth Economic Union. If we just take his territory, will he not retaliate?"
"Hahaha."
Lei Luo raised his head and laughed for a while.
"What's there to worry about? It's not convenient for His Highness to directly take over his territory, but as long as you take over his territory, wouldn't it be easy for his highness to force him to admit the fact?"
"Will Ulysses really listen to us?"
This question swirled in Allie's mind, but she was not a fool, so she could not really say it out loud.
She just nodded and said, "All right, then I'll do as you say. I hope you didn't lie to me this time, otherwise…"
As Allie spoke, she reached out and gently patted Lei Luo's armor a few times.
A loud "bang bang" was heard, and Zha Mu and Morton were so shocked that their ears were plugged.
As for Lei Luo who was inside the armor, that was obvious.
After Lei Luo finished talking to Allie, Zha Mu let her go.
Accompanied by Morton, they returned to the "Bad guy."
Lei Luo continued to stay on the mother nest of the pirates and arranged the execution of the entire plan with them.
When Allie returned to the "bad guy," she saw that the "bad guy" was already filled with almost 20,000 people, all of whom were found by Casa.
The originally lifeless "bad guy" suddenly became a little angry because of the arrival of these 20,000 people.
These people were all civilians, so they all came after receiving the contract payment.
When they arrived at the "bad guy," they didn't dislike it.
Everyone took the materials Casa and the others bought and started to build their own simple military camp.
First, they saw hundreds of ships at the port, and then they saw more than 20,000 people here. Allie was both happy and doubtful.
Allie reached out her hand and pointed at the busy crowd. She looked at Morton and asked, "These people, are they…"
Morton put his hands behind his back and straightened his big belly as he said proudly, "These people and these ships, they are all the results of the business trip that Lei Luo and I took."
"Where did you get so many people and so many boats?"
"These people and boats are all sponsored by the senate."
"Huh… ?"
Morton chuckled and told her everything that they had done in the past few months.
After hearing that, Allie was stunned.
"I knew that kid had a plan, but I didn't expect it to be so big."
When Allie said that, she clicked her tongue.
She turned her head and looked at Morton:
"You said that you've been together with him for the past few months. Do you think he's reliable?"
Allie shook her head after asking that.
"Stupid question. You've been together with him for so long, and we've only been together for a few days. You should be closer to him than I am."
Morton smiled and said, "Princess Ali, there's something I have to tell you. There's a good saying in the ancient times: if you suspect someone, don't use them. If you use them, don't suspect them. Whether it's me or Lei Luo, neither of us wanted to come. It was you who forcefully dragged us here. If you suspect us now, then we won't be able to help you in the future."
Allie quickly waved her hand.
"You're thinking wrongly. I don't have any intention of suspecting you. It's just that Lei Luo's way of doing things is too excessive. It makes me feel a chill down my spine."
"If he's not such a person, how can he help you? As long as he's on your side, what are you worried about?"
"All right then!" Allie pursed her lips and thought for a while.
"Who cares? I have nothing to be deceived anyway. Just follow his path as long as he doesn't get me killed."
"Don't worry. Although Lei Luo seems to be boundless, he still has a bottom line in his heart."
"At the very least, I can guarantee that he won't harm you."
"Won't harm me? Hmph…"
Allie snorted coldly.
"Won't harm me? He even intentionally let me be captured by the pirates?"
"Hmm? What do you mean by that? As for…"
"All right, stop hiding it. I'm not as smart as you, but I'm not that stupid. Everything that happened today was planned by that fellow Lei Luo, including me being captured by the pirates."
It would be ugly if he continued to explain.
Hence, Morton could only chuckle.
"This matter…How should I put it? Lei Luo is 100% sure that the pirates won't do anything to you, so…"
"I don't want to hear it."
Allie turned her face away. "In short, I'll remember all the good things you two did this time. I'll return it to you sooner or later."
Morton smiled bitterly and started to be ungrateful.
"I didn't know about this beforehand. He only told me about it on the way back."
"I don't understand. If you're someone, why are you so easily manipulated by Lei Luo when you get together with him?"
Allie looked at Morton with dissatisfaction.
When Allie had invited both of them, she had more or less intended for them to restrain each other.
Unexpectedly, not only did they not restrain each other, but they had become colluding with each other instead.
In Morton's eyes, Allie's little scheming was just the standard of a child playing house.
So he did not take it to heart. He just smiled and said, "Wait for a little longer, and you'll understand."
Allie was not a brilliant politician to begin with, and she had never really thought about the checks and balances of power.
Therefore, when she saw that Morton and Lei Luo were clearly on the same page, she could not be bothered to think about it anymore.
"All right, as long as you can help me revive East God, you can do whatever you want."
"Tell me, what do you want me to do now?"
"There are a total of 60,000 people in the city. It's not easy to manage such a territory. Even maintaining the security of such a large territory is not easy. More importantly, we need a large number of soldiers to help us complete the occupation of this territory, and this is East God's forte."
"You want me to recruit the old troops of the East God?"
"Isn't that what you want to do?"

Chapter 397: Recruiting Old Subordinates
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
"Of course, after East God disbanded, there were indeed a lot of scattered people. The number of these people is not small. As long as I recruit them, I can definitely recruit them. However, empty words…"
"Of course, it's not empty words…"
As Morton spoke, he handed an amethyst card to Allie. "There are five million gold coins in here. You can spend them as you like. Treat it as a gift for them."
"Also, after we get 'Holy City of Beauty,' we'll keep all these people. We'll try our best to give them good treatment. At the very least, it won't be worse than staying in East God City."
"If that's the case, it'll be much easier. Tell me, how many people do you need?"
Allie grabbed the amethyst card.
Allie, who had been suffering for a long time without money, realized that money was a good thing.
"Officials, we need about 10,000 soldiers and 100,000 soldiers. That's all."
"Also, we need about 20,000 to 30,000 basic workers."
"Don't you need an army commander? East God's commanders are also very famous."
"No, not a single one."
Allie frowned. She was a little unhappy, but she still replied with an "Oh."
"Don't think too much. We are not afraid of the people you brought to steal our position. If we had such thoughts, we wouldn't have let you recruit our old troops."
Morton knew what Allie was thinking.
He also knew that she was a straightforward person. She could not be bothered with anything, so he said directly, "Then why don't you want the commander of our East God? The commander is the core of the army."
"Princess…"
"Don't call me princess. It sounds awkward. Call me Allie."
"Okay, Allie, you're wrong. It's not that we don't want the commander of East God, but we don't want even a single commander."
"Not even a single commander? Then how can we guarantee our combat effectiveness in battle?"
"We don't have to worry about that. Reylo will think of a way."
"You're saying that he will command the army alone…how is that possible?"
"It's possible, but for me, it's impossible. We don't have to worry about it. Let Lei Luo worry about it. We'll just do our own thing."
"I don't understand. Why do you trust him so much?"
"Let's wait and see. When you get your wish and obtain the 'Holy City of Beauty,' I really want to see if you'll still say that."
"All right, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll be able to complete the things you said in half a month. I've been in contact with them."
"It's just that we don't have a foundation, so we can't recruit them. However, after these people gather here, we have to do something within a month. Otherwise, they'll probably fall apart."
"Don't worry about that. In less than a month, 'holy city of Beauty'will definitely be in our hands."
"I can only trust you now. Tell me, other than this, what else do you need me to do?"
"Act as bait."
"What? Again? Do you want me to let the pirates kidnap her again?"
"No, this time, I was saved by a hero," Morton said sincerely.
Just as its name suggested, the Goshawk Legion used to be an extremely powerful legion. At its peak, it once had 50 heavy armored knights as its core, with a total of more than a thousand soldiers.
However, since last year, after a tough battle with a legion of the Phoenix Alliance, the Goshawk Legion was crippled.
Out of the fifty heavy armored knights, only two were left, and nine out of ten of the other soldiers were gone.
After returning from the battlefield, the remaining intact warships of the Goshawk Legion were all taken away, leaving only a few dozen ships behind.
The goshawk legion was never able to recover from this setback, and the commander of the Goshawk Legion, Cassel, lost his ambition and became a hedonist.
There were no magic crystals in the Holy City of Beauty. Even in normal times, the lord of the distant mountains had to mobilize the magic crystals from other territories, especially during wartime.
According to the normal configuration, the army that transported the magic crystals should be thirty heavy carriers, two hundred heavy frigates, or an army of the same combat strength.
However, as the war between the Union of Immortal Economic Cooperation and the Union of Phoenix became more and more intense, the legions were moved to the front, and the legions at the back became more and more nervous.
Therefore, the size of the Magic Crystal Guard Legion was reduced again and again until the lord of the Distant Mountains gave Cassel thirty heavy carriers and made the Goshawk Legion into the magic Crystal Guard Legion.
It seemed a bit exaggerated that only forty or so frigates had become the Magic Crystal Guard Legion.
However, the lord of the distant mountains had no other choice. The front was too nervous.
No matter what, the area where the Holy City of Beauty was located was under the control of the British immortal economic cooperation.
The Phoenix Alliance would not be able to break in.
The mission of the Guard Legion was to guard against the pirates.
There was not much profit in military magic crystals.
If they really fought, the loss of the battleship would be more valuable than the magic crystals on the ship. It was not worth it.
Moreover, the consequences of snatching the lord were not something that ordinary pirates could bear.
Therefore, it did not matter if the Guard Legion was a little smaller.
It should be said that under normal logic, the deduction of the distant mountain lord was indeed very reasonable.
After the Guard Legion had been reduced in size for more than half a year, the Magic Crystal Guard Legion had not suffered any losses.
However, today, the distant mountain lord and Colonel Cassel's good luck had run out.
Because today, they had encountered an opponent that had never had the slightest relation to normal logic.
"Reporting sir, there is a ship floating in the sea ahead, sending us a distress signal."
"Is your mother on that ship?" Cassel asked without turning his head as he flipped through the book.
"Ah? No," the investigator said somewhat inexplicably.
"Since your mother is not on that ship, what does that have to do with you?"
Cassel finally turned around and scolded impatiently.
"Oh…But…"
The inspector pursed his lips in embarrassment.
"This is a private passenger ship. The owner of the ship is… a very beautiful woman."
"Oh?"
Cassel reached out and touched his shiny bald head.
"Bring her in."
When the person came in, Cassel immediately saw a woman standing in front of the control panel.
This woman was wearing black clothes, and a black top covered her impressive figure.
Just like a human who would resist when being oppressed, her figure seemed to be dissatisfied with the oppression of the top.
It was filled with a kind of power that spread outward, and this feeling was really dazzling.
The lower half of her body was adorned by a short skirt, and under this short skirt were a pair of long and beautiful legs. She was not wearing stockings.
She was as white as jade, flawless, and as beautiful as a work of art.

Chapter 398: Ten Times the Force
The charming lines, the smooth skin, the feeling of light flowing on it…
Her hair was combed into a bun, with a strand of black hair hanging down from the left side of her forehead.
With the breeze on the surface of the sea, it swayed on her forehead, which was as smooth as a goose egg. It seemed to be some kind of seductive hint.
But such a woman, however, had a cold expression.
However, this was precisely what made her the most alluring.
Because she was sexy and cold, it was undoubtedly the trait that most easily aroused men's instinctive desire to conquer.
"Ma'am, hello, this is the Goshawk Legion. I Am Commander Cassel. We have received your call for help…"
After hurriedly putting on his military cap and uniform, he also buttoned up the wind buckle.
Cassel walked forward with blazing eyes and spoke solemnly.
The private cabin door was opened, and the soldiers who came to rescue the Goshawk Legion saw the cold beauty.
Sitting beside her was a thin, sickly-looking young man.
As for the others, they were just a dozen servants dressed in waiter clothes.
Each of them looked frightened.
When they saw them appear, their faces were filled with joy.
"Thank you very much for your rescue. My brother and I would like to meet your supreme commander to express our gratitude."
Although it was a thank you, the cold and beautiful woman's words did not sound warm at all.
However, from the joyful expressions on the rescue soldiers' faces, it was impossible to tell that they had suffered any harm because of her indifference.
"Okay, we will arrange it for you as soon as possible."
Soon, the dozen or so people on the passenger ship were all rescued.
And they were arranged to be in a cabin next to the Cassel flagship.
It was arranged that the cold-looking beauty and the sickly-looking young man would be in a more luxurious cabin.
However, they said that they wanted to be with the servants who suffered with them, so the soldiers did not force them.
After waiting for about three minutes, the cold beauty's request was fulfilled.
"Hello, I am the highest commander of the Goshawk Legion, Commander Cassel."
Cassel, who was dressed neatly in his military uniform, exuded the masculinity of a soldier that he had not seen for a long time.
He strode forward and extended his hand toward the cold beauty while introducing himself.
The cold beauty did not move at first. It was not until Caasel's hand was almost in front of her that she suddenly took a step forward.
Before anyone could see clearly what was going on, his huge body was already controlled by the cold beauty, who was 20 centimeters shorter than him.
She twisted his hand behind her back with one hand and strangled the back of his neck with the other.
She also exerted force downward, forcing his legs to bend a little.
This caused his body to remain only five centimeters taller than the cold beauty.
Everything happened too quickly. The soldiers who were in the mood to see the beauty did not think that such a thing could happen.
However, hesitation could only happen in an instant.
Soon, all the soldiers present pulled out their weapons in a flurry.
"If you're already equipped with weapons that can be bent, then go ahead and do it."
The one who spoke was the sickly-looking young man who was blocked behind him.
"Do you…think this is a wise move?"
After realizing that he had fallen into a trap, Cassel was once immersed in a mix of anger and fear.
But when he realized where he was and the comparison of strength on the scene, he quickly regained his rationality.
"It's really unwise to say such words when the people of East God are pinching your throat," the sickly-looking young man said as he stood up from his chair with a calm smile and walked in front of Cassel.
He laughed as he looked at the soldiers who were nervously pointing their guns at him.
"When you're surrounded by forces that are ten times your own, and you still think that you're at an advantage, it's not just unwise, it's foolish."
"Ten times our forces?" Cassel laughed coldly.
"Young man, why didn't you just say that you came with a full lord's main fleet?"
Just as Cassel finished laughing coldly, he saw the investigator hurriedly walk in from the command room.
When he saw the situation in the room, he swallowed everything he wanted to say.
He looked around blankly, "This… What's going on?"
"It's nothing. It's just a small misunderstanding. If the inspector has any military affairs, just report it to me."
The ill-looking young man pulled a chair and sat down.
The inspector looked at Cassel with uncertainty.
After getting an affirmative answer, he dared to say, "Colonel, a fleet suddenly appeared in front of us. Their intentions are unknown."
"How big is it?" Cassel's neck was still being pinched, so he could not turn his head.
He could only turn his eyes and look at the sickly-looking young man beside him. Then he continued to ask, "How big is the fleet?"
"There are about a hundred heavy frigates, more than four hundred light frigates, and thousands of ships of various sizes."
Hearing this, Cassel blinked his eyes in confusion.
According to this figure, the young man's words were not arrogant, but rather modest.
But where did such a fleet come from?
The Phoenix Alliance? They could actually infiltrate so far? This was impossible.
Could it be pirates? This was also impossible.
This area was within the sphere of influence of the British immortal economic cooperation. which pirate was so bold?
"There's no need to think so much, Mr. Colonel."
The ill-looking young man stood up again, walked to Cassel's side, and patted his shoulder.
"No matter what you think, you can't change your own life and the fate of your fleet, which are all in our hands."
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Cassel looked at the young man in front of him and asked in confusion and indignation.
"Can't you see? We want to save your lives."
"Do you actually imagine that our goshawk legion will surrender without a fight?"
Cassel's expression looked as if he had been insulted.
"Of course," the sickly-looking young man said as if it was a matter of course.
"Are you so stupid that you want to let yourself and your brothers who follow you die in this damn place? Just for the distant mountain lord who will leave you in the garbage heap after you have finished fighting?"
The ill-looking young man shook his head with a mocking smile.
"If your IQ and that of your colleagues are only at this level, I have nothing to say."
Cassel, who was hit by the sore spot, fell silent for a moment. Then, he looked at his subordinates around him who had unwilling expressions on their faces. Finally, he sighed.
"All right, but I really want to know who you are and what you want to do."
"Commander Cassel, there's no need to be in such a hurry. Go to the place we've arranged for you to rest for a few days. It won't be long before you get all the answers you want."

Chapter 399: All Hands on Deck
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
The Goshawk Legion was like an actor, completely cooperating with the script that Lei Luo had arranged for them to surrender.
This increased and solidified Zha Mu's trust in Lei Luo.
The reason for this was because as a pirate, it felt really good to be able to force the regular army to surrender without fighting.
However, as the boss in name, Allie still had a lot of questions about Lei Luo.
"Are you sure that within twenty days, the sacred city will not be able to receive any more mana crystals from its neighboring territories?"
"Of course. Right now, the Immortal Realm Economic Cooperation has entered a state of complete war. Mana crystals are first-class strategic resources. The lords have always been very selective in the allocation of mana crystals from their territories."
"In such an environment, they still have to take turns to support the sacred city and make the neighboring territories very unhappy. Now that such a thing has happened, they will definitely blame each other. No one will be willing to fill in the hole."
"Does the distant mountain lord not care?"
"In order to cover up his mistake, the lord of the beautiful city will not admit that he lost contact with the escort fleet. He will only say that the fleet encountered a storm or died in an accident in the sea."
"Under such circumstances, the distant mountain lord will lose his vigilance. After all, compared to the Phoenix Alliance, Holy City of Beauty is in the rear and is not a strategic location. At this time, the distant mountain lord can not care about them."
"You said that after losing this magic crystal, their current magic crystals can only last for five days at most, and then their battle preparation magic crystals can only last for ten days at most."
"After half a month, their defensive structures will be completely ineffective. Is this also true?" Allie asked again.
Lei Luo pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "False."
"Then you said that it will be completely ineffective?"
"If we don't put it that way, is it possible for the grizzly pirates to participate in the battle?" Lei Luo retorted mercilessly.
"Isn't this lying to them to die?"
"War…is never tired of lying."
Lei Luo turned around and looked at Allie's expression. It was exceptionally cold, and Allie felt a chill in her heart.
"I didn't expect you to be so ruthless."
"If you don't have the heart, you can go out right now and tell Zha Mu that all of this is a scam."
Lei Luo's words were still as merciless as ever.
Allie was momentarily at a loss for words. After holding it in for a long time, she stomped her foot angrily and helplessly before rushing out of the room.
"Although she has lived a few decades longer than you, in terms of intelligence, she is merely a little girl. Why do you have to speak so bluntly to her?"
Morton, who was behind Lei Luo, sighed.
"A person with responsibility is not qualified to be childish. Since she has chosen the path of reviving the East God, this is the price she must pay."
Morton was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"This is also what I wanted to ask you. In the past ten days, with a call from Allie, more than 100,000 old soldiers of the East God came. This really surprised me. I really underestimated Allie's influence."
"This is still within my expectations. There are too few beautiful things in this world, so it's completely understandable that humans always like to reminisce about the past."
"No, that's not what I want to say. What I want to say is…"
Morton looked outside the door. After making sure that there was no one outside, he said, "After these ten days, the composition of our entire army has completely changed."
"Are you saying that from a random army that only uses the name 'East God', it has become a true 'East God'revival army?"
"Isn't this worth worrying about?" Morton asked.
Lei Luo smiled.
"I don't think there's anything to worry about. The people in the world may seem very complicated, but they're actually very simple. To any person or group, as long as your existence is beneficial to them, then your existence is valuable."
"Therefore, I personally believe that the most effective way to live is to prove and display one's own value."
Hearing Lei Luo's words, Morton knew that Lei Luo had his own idea in mind, so he did not say anything more.
Instead, he changed the topic and asked, "Half a month later, when the Grizzly Pirates attack the Holy City of Beauty, how much will they lose?"
"At that time, the magic crystals of the sacred city won't even be able to sustain a single volley. And because the Grizzly Pirates have a large number of spaceships with poor quality, they will definitely choose to focus their magic crystals on small defensive weapons. I've done a calculation model. According to the optimal and worst configuration of the defensive side, the Grizzly Pirates' second-tier ships will lose between 80% and 50% of their ships. However, the loss of the main fleet's heavy frigates will not exceed 40%."
Half a month later, the grizzly pirates acted according to Lei Luo's plan. They sent out all the ships they could.
The entire fleet was over 6,000 ships. There were 32 heavy transport ships, 165 medium transport ships, and close to 4,000 light transport ships.
He had already predicted that the fleet would be huge, but when he heard that the fleet was so huge, even Lei Luo was shocked.
With such a huge fleet, he was confident that this battle would be successful.
However, when Lei Luo realized that some old and weak women and children were hiding on some carriers, he was furious.
"This is a war, not a vacation."
Zha Mu did not quite understand why Lei Luo was so angry. He did not think it was a big deal. After all, it was a battle without any danger.
Even if he brought the elderly and children to watch the show, what was wrong with that.
However, since Lei Luo was so angry, Zha Mu had no reason to argue with Lei Luo over such a small matter.
Hence, he followed Lei Luo's instructions and transferred the elderly, the weak, women, and children away.
Even though everything was done according to Lei Luo's instructions.
However, Zha Mu's heart still had a knot. He still felt strange. Why would Lei Luo care about such a small matter so much?
"This time, we will definitely win, and our losses will be smaller than expected."
When the fleet finally started moving, Lei Luo, who was in the Captain's Lounge on Zha Mu's flagship, looked at Allie beside him with some relief.
"Have you ever thought that you might arouse Zha Mu's suspicion by banishing the old, weak, women, and children off the ship?"
"I have thought about it, but by doing so, I can at least give myself some self-consolation, right?"
As Lei Luo said this, he laughed self-mockingly.
"When one day in the future, when I think about this scene and feel that it's unbearable, I can comfort myself and say that at the very least, I've chased the elderly, the weak, the women, and the children off the ship."
As Lei Luo said this, he turned his head and saw that Allie's mood seemed to have become a little bad, so he raised his head.
"Hey, I'm just a little scared because it's my first time on the battlefield, so I said some mysterious words to cover up my fear. Don't believe me."

Chapter 400: Being on the Battlefield
"If you're really afraid, why are you still staying on Zha Mu's ship? You could have found an excuse to leave."
"I have my own uses for staying here. As for you, there's no use for you to stay here. Why are you following me?"
"No matter what, everything you've done is to revive our East God. I have no reason to leave you alone for such a dangerous matter."
Lei Luo smiled and shook his head.
"It's the duty of a commoner."
Allie glared at Reylo and said, "Enough. In the entire empire, you're the only one with a brain. Everyone else is a commoner."
Because the fleet was huge and the quality of the ships was generally low, they were unable to move quickly.
They could only proceed towards the "Holy City of Beauty" step by step.
Two days before they arrived, the sacred city had already discovered the traces of the pirate fleet.
However, nobody took it seriously. The defense commander did not hesitate to turn the operation of the huge but low-quality fleet into a migration journey for pirates.
When the Grizzly Pirates were only one day away from the sacred city, the defense commander started to feel a little strange.
They sent a message to the Grizzly Pirates, announcing that the half-day flight distance from the Holy City of Beauty was a no-fly zone.
The Grizzly Pirates did not reply, and they continued to fly forward at their predetermined speed.
The defense commander was still inclined to believe that the other party did not receive his message, so he sent another message.
At the same time, he ordered all the defense buildings to prepare for battle. At the same time, he ordered them to calculate the optimal combination of the defense buildings under various circumstances.
When the fleet received the second warning message, Lei Luo suddenly appeared in the command module.
Zha Mu looked at Lei Luo with a smile and gave the order.
"All the fleets charge towards 'Holy City of Beauty.' The other ships will follow closely behind and charge with all their might."
At this point, Zha Mu turned his head and looked at Lei Luo with a smile.
"Lord Envoy, in such a simple situation, there's no need for any brilliant tactics. Sorry for making a fool out of you. However, the combat strength of our Grizzly Pirates is definitely not limited to this. In the future, if your highness has any use for us, feel free to instruct us. We will definitely…"
Zha Mu's flattery seemed to have reached its peak when he suddenly heard a loud bang that shook the sky. When he turned his head back, he saw that the sea outside was a dazzling white.
After about three to four seconds, the dazzling white gradually faded away.
Looking again, during the combined artillery attack just now, most of the small frigates of the Grizzly Pirates had been destroyed.
The other light patrol ships and other ships that flew slightly faster also suffered huge losses.
Seeing such a tragic loss, Zha Mu was completely stunned.
He staggered and looked at Lei Luo in disbelief.
"You…lied to me?"
Allie, who was standing not far behind Lei Luo, saw Zha Mu and her eyes turned red.
She immediately went into a state of alert and was ready to attack at any time.
"They still have two small-scale defensive weapons fired at the same time, or one large-scale defensive weapon with 60% of its power fired at the same time."
"You have two choices now. First, retreat immediately. In this situation, the enemy can calmly analyze and mark the position of each of your ships, so they will definitely choose the latter. In this way, you will lose all your heavy patrols and most of your guards. But, you won't get anything. Second, continue to attack with all your might. In this situation, the enemy can only choose the former, so you will lose most of your small ships. But your main fleet will basically be preserved, and you will be able to get everything I promised you…You only have ten seconds to make a decision."
Lei Luo spoke very quickly, but his words were very clear, and his voice was very cold.
Zha Mu's crimson eyes stared at Lei Luo. One second, two seconds, three seconds, three seconds later.
Zha Mu shook his head with a desolate smile. Then, he suddenly turned around and roared loudly,
"Everyone, charge at the city with all your strength."
After being bombarded by a cannon, the grizzly pirates were already in a bit of a mess.
Many people didn't know whether to advance or retreat, but after hearing Zha Mu's order, only a few ships remained in the retreat position.
Most of the ships continued to advance bravely, even the transport ships that didn't have any offensive power.
Their purpose was purely to share the fire for the others.
A few seconds later, the small-scale defensive weapons fired again, and another piece of the ship was turned into dust and debris.
"The last artillery attack will definitely wait until the best distance. They still have forty heavy patrol units in their territory. If you hand over the command to me, I think your losses will be smaller."
Before the third artillery attack arrived, Lei Luo finally summoned up the courage to make such a request to Zha Mu.
"Do you think I will still believe you?"
Zha Mu's words were as cold as ice water in the deep sea.
"At this time, your fleet needs the strongest commander."
"And for you to fall to this stage today, it is enough to prove that I am stronger than you, right?"
Lei Luo's words were much more rational and cruel than Zha Mu's.
"Believe him. He rarely tells the truth, but this sentence is true."
Zha Mu turned his head and saw that it was Allie who spoke. Her eyes were filled with pity as she looked at him.
Zha Mu saw that his fleet had already fallen apart. The originally scattered formation had completely collapsed at this moment. Other than moving forward, the various warships had no other thoughts.
Facing such a situation, Zha Mu lost all confidence.
Other than maintaining the courage to charge and survive, he couldn't do anything else.
When he understood this point, Zha Mu looked at Lei Luo coldly and didn't say anything.
He just took off his cap and placed it on the console.
Normally, taking off the cap was equivalent to giving up command.
"Leader…"
Zha Mu's actions shocked the pirates who were watching Lei Luo.
"From now on, the commander…is this person."
Zha Mu looked at his brothers who had gone through life and death with him with tears in his eyes.
He slowly walked to Lei Luo's side and pointed at his face as he spoke in a very soft voice.
After saying that, Zha Mu crossed his hands behind his back and left the command cabin without saying a word.
"Gentlemen, we are still on the battlefield."
