Chapter 421: Huge Benefits
"In order to prevent surprise attacks, the Alliance supported Lord Rowley, who owns the city, to build the city's defense structure. It was built to be even better than the Holy City of Beauty. At the same time, it supported six lord-class main fleets for Rowley, allowing him to have up to 14 lord-class main fleets of heavy troops. At the same time, the Alliance also deployed several heavily-armed cities near the Great Wall of Iron Blood to provide support at any time. According to normal logic, the possibility of such a city being conquered is close to zero. However, the people of the alliance neglected the fact that Rowley was a young lord who was emotionally rich and single. Ten years ago, when he had just inherited this city from his father, he was only a hundred years old. From then on, the leader of the Phoenix Alliance, Philip, had his illegitimate daughter secretly seduce him. After three years of hard work, Philip finally made Rowley gradually fall in love with her. In the end, what made Rowley completely fall in love with the Phoenix Alliance was the title of deputy leader that Philip had given him, as well as the exchange of twenty wealthy cities."
"When Philip's five lord-level main forces suddenly arrived within the defensive range of the Great Wall of Iron Blood, and the defense officers were preparing to launch an attack while they were still jumping, they received Rowley's order to surrender to the Phoenix Alliance. Just like that, the energy fortress of the Alliance fell within the Phoenix Alliance. When the alliance realized what was going on, the Phoenix Alliance already had nineteen lord-level fleets and one of the most powerful defense structures in the empire. With the Great Wall of Iron Blood as the bridgehead, the situation of the Alliance and the Phoenix Alliance changed. The alliance had no choice but to shrink its defense line on a large scale to deal with the cancer inside. The Phoenix Alliance has been steadily pouring new fleets into this enclave. Since there is plenty of energy on the Great Wall, no matter how many fleets there are, they do not have to worry about running out of energy."
"Because the Phoenix Alliance has been pouring in fleets and the defensive structures on the Great Wall have been expanding, the Great Wall has become one of the two major fortresses in the third province. It has more than thirty lord-level main force fleets and the first defensive structure in the third province. In the past seven years, in order to fight for this fortress, the two alliances have lost more than 100 lord-tier main forces. After a fleet warped, due to space-time warping and unstable materials, the fleet would normally lose its combat ability for about 30 minutes to an hour. This was the interval between warps. It was precisely because of this phenomenon that invading a city from within the enemy had always been a favorite tactic of famous generals."
After introducing the situation of the city, Lei Luo concluded, "And our target this time is precisely it, the Great Wall of Iron Blood. Only it has the right to be traded with the Cape of Good Hope by the British Immortal Economic Union."
The second half of the meeting was basically about how to attack the Great Wall of Iron Blood.
Morton was really not interested in military affairs.
Ali was a warrior-type person. She was very experienced in fighting alone, and she had no acuity in commanding an army to fight.
Therefore, the second half of the meeting was mainly about Lei Luo, Karman, and Zha Mu.
Since she had nothing to do with herself, Allie dozed off peacefully.
But Morton was not in the mood at all.
While the three of them were nervously discussing, Morton had been watching Karman and Zha Mu.
Zha Mu seemed nervous. In his opinion, Lei Luo's plan was too risky.
So he repeatedly cited various dangerous situations, trying to overturn Lei Luo's strategy.
However, each time, he was speechless by Lei Luo's strict plan.
As for Karman, he didn't say anything except for the occasional interjection.
Instead, he looked at Lei Luo and Zha Mu with great interest, as if he was interested in their quarreling situation.
While Lei Luo and Zha Mu were arguing passionately, he would sometimes find time to come over and talk to him.
Sitting in the meeting room, Morton did not know what was going on, but he had an instinctive sense of unease.
But he could not explain his unease directly, so he could only sit on the pins and needles until the end of the meeting.
After the meeting was finally over, Morton pulled Lei Luo to a secluded corner and asked in an anxious tone, "What's wrong?"
"One of them is a former lord under King Beichen, whom I've just met, and the other is a pirate gang that holds a grudge against you. Do you really think it's reliable for you to give all your army to two people like that?"
Lei Luo blinked and said, "I know that Zha Mu is dissatisfied, but for the sake of the huge benefits of the Cape of Good Hope, I think he'll tolerate it for the time being. Moreover, in order to avoid the danger brought by his sole military power, didn't I call Karman here?"
Morton hesitated for a moment before saying. "To be honest…I think that the real danger is not Zha Mu…but Karman."
"Oh?" Lei Luo widened his mouth. "What do you mean? Do you have any evidence?"
"No." Morton shook his head. "I don't have any evidence. I just have a hunch…haven't you noticed? When you and Zha Mu argue, Karman always seems to be happy."
Lei Luo smiled and said, "That's normal. He's like that. If not, he wouldn't be unable to get along with others everywhere he goes."
"No, this is different. This isn't the type of smile that can't get along with others."
"Then tell me, what kind of smile is this? A lewd smile?" Lei Luo smiled and looked at Morton.
Morton clicked his tongue and said, "Sigh, I don't know either, but I'm serious. I'm not joking with you."
"I know, I know." Lei Luo nodded repeatedly.
"Actually, I've thought about what you said, but I still have to do it in the end. There are several reasons. First, the most important part of the whole plan is to get the cooperation of the sorcerer of the Great Wall of Iron Blood and the cooperation of the Union of British immortal and economic cooperation. On the side of the Union of British immortal and economic cooperation, Allie's father had an old relationship with the union leader of the Union of British immortal and economic cooperation, so they had something to say. The reason why the lord of the distant mountains has been holding back from attacking us for so long is not only because of his own strength and Ulysses' relationship but also because of the alliance leader, Saxton."

Chapter 422: Birthday Celebration
"With this relationship and my plan, they will definitely be interested, so the alliance on the Anglo-immortal Economic Union's side will not be a big problem. The real difficulty lies in the cooperation with the magic conductor, who our collaborators are, how we should cooperate, and how we should help them completely organize within a month. These are all fatal things. I can't just hand these things over to others. I have to do it myself. In this way, the only reliable person here is you, but you don't know anything about military affairs, so I can only make arrangements like this. As for Karman, I know in my heart that using him isn't without risks. But, as I said before, this is the last resort. You know the current situation. We have no way to establish a foothold in the Holy City of Beauty in the long run. We have to fight our way out in the short run. And at this juncture, I don't have the time to reorganize the army. I'm not completely at ease with letting Zha Mu do all the reorganizing. That's why I thought of poaching Karman. Apart from the previous reasons, I used Karman for two other reasons besides his own ability. First, although he said that he wanted to leave King Beichen's military status, no matter what, he was once King Beichen's man, and it was Ulysses who arranged for him to stay by my side. If he didn't get Ulysses' authorization and created trouble for us without permission, he wouldn't have been able to get past Ulysses. And I can tell that Ulysses and I are sincere in forming an alliance. He would never let Karman do such a thing."
Morton opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but before he could say anything, Lie Luo continued speaking.
"Even if Karman is extremely bold and wants to do something, I don't think he will be able to do it. The reason is simple. The people we handed over to him are basically people from the original East God. These people all acknowledge Allie, so how could they acknowledge him? Moreover, from now on, it will be less than a month at most. Even if he manages some of his armies during this period of time, it will be impossible for him to completely control this army in such a short period of time. Although I'm a businessman and I'm not as good at strategic military strategy as you, I still feel that there's a dead reason. I'm always terrified when I don't control the army in my own hands."
"Then what do you think we should do? You and Allie don't know anything about military affairs, and I have to go outside again."
"How about this? How about I go for you on the side of the magic conductor? You'd better stay in the Holy City of Beuaty to reorganize the army and let Karman be your deputy. I think this is more appropriate."
"No."
Lei Luo rejected the idea very straightforwardly. "If the alliance with the magic conductor on the 'Great Wall of Iron Blood is to disappear, I have to go personally. I'm not doubting your ability, but this matter is too important. I can't tolerate even the slightest mistake."
Lei Luo smiled and patted Morton's shoulder.
"Don't worry too much. As long as we reach the Cape of Good Hope, I'll settle everything."
Morton saw that Lei Luo's attitude was very firm, so he could only sigh in the end and say, "I hope that I'm worrying over nothing."
"All right, go ahead then. I have a lot of things to do with my finances."
As Morton spoke, he was about to leave when he asked again, "When do you plan to depart?"
"Tonight, I still have to explain to Allie how to talk. After that, I'll depart tomorrow.
"After I've done most of my work at the Great Wall of Iron Blood, I'll send you a message. At that time, Allie will be able to depart directly."
"Set off tomorrow? So soon? Aren't you going to stay for another day or two?"
"Brother, how can I have time? Don't you know what kind of environment we're in now?"
Lei Luo smiled and patted Morton's shoulder. When he saw Morton's slightly disappointed expression, he asked again, "Why? is something the matter?"
"No." Morton smiled and shook his head:
"Arthur's birthday is the day after tomorrow. He said he wanted to treat us to a drink."
"What's a man's birthday? He's not a woman." Lei Luo raised his head and laughed.
"Hey…" Morton waved his hand. "Actually, we're just looking for a reason to get together and have a chat. Unknowingly, we've been together for more than eight months, but we don't really have much time to get together. I'm fine with you. I always have the opportunity to talk to you, but Arthur never had the opportunity to talk to you. Arthur was completely convinced of you. He always thought that you were his idol and felt that it was his lifetime fortune to be able to meet you. Although his ability was limited, during these eight months, within the limits of Arthur's ability, he worked desperately so as not to embarrass you. For example, if you let him be the commander of the capital's security force, it would have been an unimportant idle job. Sooner or later, we'll have to give up on the Holy City of Beauty. Our group isn't around, so there's nothing good to guard. But Arthur still worked hard and led his brothers well. Each and every one of them called him brother. It's very popular."
After listening to Morton's words, Lei Luo nodded vigorously and said, "I still understand Arthur. He is a real person. Just like you, he is a real brother. Time is pressing at the moment. There are many things that we cannot do according to our own methods. When we have free time in the future, Arthur will still have many uses. At the very least, this sincerity and loyalty of his is something that no one can replace. At the very least, no one is more suitable than him for the position of commander of the guards."
"Sigh, don't look at Arthur's background. He actually doesn't value this. He is different from you and me. He is a person with no ambition at all. His heart was like a string. Our group bumped into each other and caused such a big scene. He felt proud of us and happy for us. He worked hard for us. As for what he could get, he never thought about it. It's not that kind of hypocritical thinking. It's that he truly didn't think about anything."
"Yeah, Arthur…When I'm with him, I feel relaxed," Lei Luo said with a sentimental tone as he clicked his tongue.
"Yeah, although Arthur can't help us with our career, we're still friends. Whether it's you or me, in the end, no matter how big our achievements will be, we are all still ordinary humans. In the end, what do we live for? We're just friends. So, I think, if we're not in a hurry, we should stay until the night after tomorrow. Arthur has wanted to drink with you for a long time."

Chapter 423: The Magic Conductor's Rebellion
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Lei Luo thought for a moment and hesitated before nodding. "All right, let's drink this wine before we leave. The sky won't fall."
Hearing Lei Luo's words, a simple smile appeared on Morton's face. He didn't say anything and only stretched out his hand to pat Lei Luo's shoulder, looking very satisfied.
Soon, it was evening.
Arthur, who spent almost 24 hours a day in the office and patrolling, had already packed up most of the things on hand. Then he took a bottle of good wine that he had looted and ran to Morton's room in a flash.
When he entered the door, he saw Morton and Lei Luo already sitting in the room waiting for him. There was a map between the two of them, as if they were discussing something.
Arthur, who was standing at the door, smiled in embarrassment and asked timidly, "Am I disturbing you?"
"What are you talking about? It's your birthday today. You're the oldest."
Lei Luo turned around and saw that Arthur was already at the door. He quickly put away the map and stood up with a smile.
"If you have anything important to say, you can talk first. I'll come back later."
As Arthur said this, he really turned around and wanted to leave.
Seeing this, Lei Luo hurriedly walked over and pulled him back.
"What the f*ck? There's nothing important in this world. Come, come, come. Hey, what is this in your hand? Red wine? Is it real or fake?"
When Lei Luo mentioned this, Arthur immediately became excited. "Of course it's real. This wine is passed down from our ancestors. My family has been winemakers for generations. We don't have anything else, but we have a treasure that is stored in a special box. I went home a few days ago and brought it over."
Morton, who was well-versed in wine, took the bottle and spoke with a pained expression. "F*ck, you're really willing to part with it. You killed a bottle of red wine on your birthday. You have the bearing of a Grand Alliance leader."
"What's the big deal? There's no banquet without wine. It's fate for us to bump into each other. A bottle of red wine is nothing."
As Arthur spoke, he forcefully broke open the bottle of top-notch treasure that he had brought from home. The moment the bottle was opened, the fragrance that had been stored for thousands of years instantly filled the room.
"We can't let this bottle of wine suffer. Morton, which is the best restaurant in the entire city? Lead the way. It's my treat."
Lei Luo patted his chest and laughed.
"Haha, good. You always think of scamming others. It's your turn to be scammed by us."
After Morton finished speaking, everyone laughed along.
Suddenly, the usually rational Lei Luo suddenly had an unrealistic thought, that time could stop at this time.
Because at this time, he felt something special. This was the thing that he lacked the most in his life, and he didn't know how to express it.
Lei Luo, who was immersed in this carefree mood, suddenly felt that all the great ambitions had become empty at this moment.
Looking at Morton and Arthur, who were smiling brightly and simply, Lei Luo thought to himself, 'If only it could be like this forever.'
While Lei Luo and the other two were happily eating meat and drinking wine under the hotel owner's hateful gaze, Ulysses, who was far away in Ulysses, was not in a relaxed mood at all.
Last night, he had just received bad news that Marquis Calasio had died in the rebel army of the magic conductor.
A dignified marquis had actually died in the hands of the magic conductor. From this, it could be seen how serious the matter had become.
And this was not the only thing that made Ulysses anxious.
After such a serious matter had happened, the other marquis could not sit idly by. This time, papafiline had taken the initiative to gather all the Marquis Kings for another meeting.
However, this time, Ulysses did not receive an order from his father to attend the meeting. Instead, Morse went to attend the meeting alone.
Ulysses thought that this was undoubtedly an unusual signal. However, he could not see through his father's intentions at once.
His old father always seemed to like doing things that he could not understand on purpose.
Whenever there was a problem, Strachey would always come to him to discuss it. But for several days, Ulysses didn't see Strachey and didn't know what he was busy with.
Ulysses was depressed. He walked in the garden for half a day, but he couldn't get rid of the anger in his chest. So he strolled to Strachey's apartment.
Ulysses' apartment was made up of a group of buildings on a hill. Strange's apartment was one of these buildings.
Therefore, Ulysses walked from the garden to Strachey's apartment in less than half an hour.
The apartment was an independent villa. It was decorated in the style of the ancient times that Ulysses liked.
Ulysses came to the door of Strachey's apartment and saw that it was closed. He walked up and knocked on the door, but after a few knocks, there was no response.
Ulysses thought that Strachey had probably gone out to buy something with his servant. He knew that his teacher had this hobby.
When there was something that he could not figure out, he liked to personally bring his servant to the market to buy things.
With this thought in mind, Ulysses walked back. However, after a few steps, he saw Strachey's only servant walking over with a bag of vegetables on his back.
"Your Highness."
Upon seeing Ulysses, the servant hurriedly bowed to Ulysses.
"Why don't you change this bad habit of yours? Don't be so polite when there's no one around." Strachey's old servant was someone who had watched Ulysses grow up. Ulysses was even more friendly to him than Strachey.
Seeing him bow, Ulysses quickly walked over with a smile and helped him up. "Hey, where's Teacher? Isn't he with you?"
Uncle Zhang's eyes were wide open as he said with a puzzled expression, "Isn't master at home?"
"Is Teacher at home?" Ulysses blinked his eyes in confusion as well. "No one responded to me when I knocked on the door."
"Oh, then it should be because he didn't hear you. Master seems to be communicating with someone through magic. He probably thinks that I shouldn't be listening to their conversation, so he specially sent me out to buy vegetables."
Hearing the old servant's words, Ulysses was slightly stunned, then he nodded and said, "Oh."
"Your Highness, come back with me. Master should be at home."
As the old servant spoke, he was about to pull Ulysses back.
Ulysses smiled and shook his head. "Since Teacher is so busy, then I won't disturb him. Moreover, I suddenly thought of something to do, so I'll go back first. Help me tell Teacher to come to my place when he's free. I have something to ask him for an idea."

Chapter 424: True Brothers
The old servant nodded and said, "Okay."
After saying that, the servant carried his food and went back to Strachey's apartment.
Looking at the old servant's back, Ulysses muttered to himself thoughtfully, "Important magic communication? What important magic communication is there at this time?"
For some reason, Ulysses began to feel that his teacher was too similar to his father. Both of them were like this, and it had become hard for him to understand or see through them.
After finishing off a bottle of thousand-year-old red wine and half of the top-grade wine stored in the best hotel in the Holy City of Beauty, Morton and Arthur were finally placed on the table by Lei Luo.
At this moment, Lei Luo looked out of his window again. The moon was starting to emit a faint light. He then looked at his own clock. Damn, the three of them had drunk a whole twelve hours in one go.
At this moment, Lei Luo's body was actually more exhausted than Morton and Arthur's. Logically speaking, he should have fainted a long while ago.
However, he had something on his mind and had wanted to leave early. Therefore, he used superhuman will to forcefully suppress the urge to faint and barely maintain his consciousness.
However, although his consciousness was clear, Lei Luo's body was as limp as a ball of dough.
Even turning his head to look out of the window took a lot of effort.
Therefore, Lei Luo slowly closed his eyes and focused all his attention to feel the changes in his body.
After about half an hour, Lei Luo finally gained control of his body.
Lei Luo stood up and first loosened his muscles and bones.
Then he smiled and looked at Morton and Arthur, who were lying on the table. He whispered, "Brothers, let's meet at the Great Wall of Iron Blood."
After saying that, Lei Luo took out a card from his pocket and put it beside Arthur. Then he left.
The card was made of paper and was made by Lei Luo himself. Apart from the words "Happy Birthday" on the front, Lei Luo also wrote a sentence on the back:
"Brothers support each other and don't compare. As long as there is a difference in heart, you are not a real brother. I treat you as my real brother. I hope you won't let me down. – Lei Luo"
By the time Arthur and Morton awoke from their drunken stupor, Lei Luo was already on a passenger ship bound for the Great Wall of Iron Blood.
After sitting on the passenger ship, Lei Luo began to relax his body slowly.
After about an hour, Lei Luo finally returned his body to the state he wanted.
At this time, his face had already turned red, and the effects of alcohol on the brain came back to haunt him.
Lei Luo ordered a cup of sleeping fluid with the steward and simply fell asleep.
Under the effects of the sleeping potion and alcohol, Lei Luo fell into a deep sleep. Even if you beat him up like a pig, he would not feel anything.
Ten hours later, Lei Luo finally woke up. He felt that he was awake. Looking at the time on the passenger ship, there was still about an hour before the Great Wall of Iron Blood.
After ordering another bowl of noodles, Lei Luo placed it on his temple and began to review the information he had prepared.
There were more than 10 billion magic conductors in the entire empire, and the number of high-level magic conductors among them was as high as 65,000. But in the documents that Ulysses had given to Lei Luo, there was only a total of more than 300,000 information about magic conductors.
From this, it could be seen that those who were qualified to be on this list could be said to be the cream of the crop among the magic conductors. Among these lists, there was only one person who was on the Great Wall of Iron Blood. His name was Kronin.
In the categorization of the information, it was like this: Kronin, design age 100 years old, age 85 years old, top-notch assembly engineer, self-taught top-notch doctor.
He had a strong appeal among magic conductors.
As for the details, there were many detailed information, including the data that Kronin reported during his annual physical examination, as well as his social relations, work results, and so on.
Lei Luo had read all this information more than a hundred times.
However, in the end, Lei Luo found that none of the information had the portrait that was posted in the summary, and it was more informative.
"The appearance of a person is a portrait of the heart. The appearance expresses and reveals the entire personality of a person."
In a person's life, his behavior, mode of thinking, and state of mind were often accompanied by many subtle expressions that he was not aware of.
These expressions would be imprinted on his face after countless repetitions. The deepest impression was in his eyes. A person with an empty heart would never be able to pretend to be wise.
This was why Lei Luo was so obsessed with this portrait.
Because he was too old, his skin had become as rough as sackcloth, dry, and deeply wrinkled like a canyon. His face was completely tied together, and his hair, which was about two fingers long, had turned white, it was a little messy at the back of his head.
If this is all you have to pay attention to, then this portrait is absolutely a perfect specimen of the cruelty of life.
However, when you look at the eyes on this face, you will find that everything has been turned into magic.
It is a pair of eyes full of vitality, so much so that you can feel just by looking at this portrait, how lively the eyes will project.
And when the eyes merged with the face, one could get the entirety of the portrait: an old man with a tolerant, humorous, and slightly sad expression.
In terms of age, Morton was actually not much older than Kronin, and Morton was also a wise man.
However, for some reason, although they had not met yet, Lei Luo could not help but feel that from a certain point of view, this Kronin and Morton were not on the same level at all.
"I really want to see this person as soon as possible."
It was with this kind of mood that Lei Luo came to the Great Wall of Iron Blood.
First, he stayed in the civilian area for two to three days. After getting a clear picture of the situation, Lei Luo thought of a way to disguise himself as a communication soldier of the Phoenix Alliance and entered the military zone.
Because he had investigated everything carefully beforehand, Lei Luo used less than fifteen minutes to arrive at Kronin's house. It was a very old house.
Before he went to knock on the door, Lei Luo raised his head and confirmed the address of the door.
That's right, it was here.
"Creak.
With the sound of the wooden door opening, which was already hard to hear, Lei Luo saw the old man in the portrait appear in front of him.

Chapter 425: Communications Soldier
"What's the matter?" Kronin asked first.
Lei luo didn't answer him. He just stood a meter away from Kronin and observed the old man.
When he was looking at the portrait, Lei Luo had always felt that there was a magical power in the old man's body.
But now, when they stood face to face, he couldn't help but wonder where the magical power in the old man's body came from.
Kronin was a little surprised at first. He looked at the silent communications soldier who stood straight at his door in the early morning.
However, after a moment, Kronin smiled and said, "You're not a communications soldier."
"Yes, I'm not a communications soldier. However, I did come to bring you some information. I believe that the information I will bring to you will be more than what you want to know from a communications soldier."
Unknowingly, Lei Luo had used honorifics on Kronin.
"I have always heard that the ghost shadow military advisor, Sir Lei Luo, is young and promising. His wisdom and bravery are unparalleled. Seeing you today, you really live up to your reputation."
Kronin looked at Lei Luo for a while and suddenly threw out such a sentence that shocked Lei Luo. However, his face did not reveal a trace of emotion. He only smiled and said, "Mr. Bai is only half right. I did come here on the order of Sir Lei Luo, but I'm not Sir Lei Luo."
"Sent here?" Kronin raised his head and smiled faintly. "The matter here is so important. Can Sir Lei Luo trust anyone?"
Lei Luo was shocked again, but he just stood there. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond. It didn't feel good to be exposed twice.
When Kronin saw him like this, he smiled again and said, "Sir Lei Luo, you are quite calm. Aren't you afraid that I will expose you?"
Lei Luo restrained his smile and replied calmly, "Since I was able to sneak in, I naturally thought of a way to escape unscathed."
"The Ghost Shadow Military Advisor really lives up to his reputation. Just his composure alone is very impressive."
When Kronin said this, he moved aside, giving Lei Luo a space to enter the room.
Seeing this, Lei Luo did not doubt him and walked in with his head held high.
When he entered the room, the tables, chairs, and benches were all made of wood. The best part was that there was actually a wooden bookcase. There was actually a mountain of books on the bookcase.
There was a charcoal stove next to the coffee table. There was a wine pot hanging on the stove. After the warm wine was roasted by the charcoal fire, a portion of it turned into a fragrant steam that flowed in all directions in the air.
Lei Luo was surprised as he was looking at the furnishings in the room. Kronin then asked, "Sir Lei Luo, would you like some wine or tea?"
"Old Mister Bai, please don't treat me as an outsider. Just call me Lei Luo. Just give me a cup of tea. I just had a big drink a few days ago. I really can't drink wine."
Hearing Lei Luo's answer, Kronin poured two cups of tea and the two of them sat opposite each other at the coffee table.
As soon as he sat down, Lei Luo said, "I wonder how you saw through my identity at a glance."
"There's nothing difficult about that, right?" Kronin first smiled and then explained. "Your gaze is too focused, sharp, and penetrating. If the military even had a communication soldier of this standard, then the Phoenix Alliance wouldn't be like today, and would have long unified the world."
"Even if you're sure that I'm not from the military, how can you know it's me at a glance?"
"If we're just talking about talent, the Anglo-immortal economic cooperation's Saxton is above the Phoenix Alliance's Philip. Otherwise, the Anglo-immortal economic cooperation's strength wouldn't have been superior to the Phoenix Alliance's. But Saxton's biggest weakness was his arrogance. If it wasn't for the fact that he had always looked down on Rowley, how could Rowley have been pulled over by Saxton? One must know that the Phoenix Alliance at that time was already on the verge of collapse."
As Kronin said this, he raised his head and looked at Lei Luo.
"Think about it. Saxton doesn't even look down on a lord who controls the most important base. How could he possibly be willing to spend time with me? The only people who want to make a move on the Great Wall of Iron Blood and think that they have the ability to do so are the old troops of East God, who have suddenly appeared on the comet recently. Everyone, including me, who is concerned about the situation in the third province, is paying close attention to such a force that has suddenly sprung up. And everyone knows that the person supporting this force is not Princess Allie, but the person who is hiding behind her and known as Military Advisor Ghost Shadow. Based on your actions in the Holy City of Beauty, everyone knows that you don't want to stay there for long. With the combination of the two, it makes sense that you want to do something to the Great Wall of Iron Blood. With the strength you have now, if you want to take down the Great Wall of Iron Blood, the key is that there must be trouble inside the wall. Therefore, whether there's trouble inside the wall is the key to your success or failure. Take a look at your path of rise over the past nine months. The most crucial part is that you've almost done everything yourself and never put your hands on others. From this, it can be seen that you're not only very confident, but you're also so confident that you don't trust anyone. Therefore, you had to come personally today."
Although there was still no change in Lei Luo's expression after Kronin's explanation, the shock in his heart could not be described with words.
After a moment of silence, Lei Luo asked, "Why do I want to take down the Great Wall of Iron Blood? Although this place has a strong defense and sufficient energy supply, its economy is backward. For the two alliances, it may be an important place, but for us, it's just a hot potato."
"It's naturally a hot potato in our hands, but if we throw it out, we can sell it for a good price."
Lei Luo's body was gradually stiffening. He struggled to pick up the teacup and took a sip. After a while, he slowly asked, "What price do you think I will sell it for?"
"In my opinion, the Cape of Good Hope is not bad."
Ding! The teacup in Lei Luo's hand fell to the ground, and the tea spilled all over the ground.
Kronin stood up as if nothing had happened. "I'll pour you another cup."
Kronin poured another cup of tea and placed it in front of Lei Luo, then said these two words indifferently. "Arrogant."
Lei Luo reached out and held the teacup in his hand. His eyes looked at Kronin, but he did not dare to speak.
"No matter how modest a native is, in front of a magic conductor, he will always carry this kind of emotion in his bones, and you are no exception."
Kronin drank his tea as he slowly continued to speak.
"You are just a magic conductor who will not live to be a hundred years old. Even if you have some influence with a magic conductor, how strong can you be? In the depths of your heart, you will always be unable to resist muttering to yourself like this."

Chapter 426: The Massacred
Lei Luo continued to remain silent. Kronin had given him enough shock, enough to make him humble and cautious.
Therefore, until now, he still did not say a word. He just listened to Kronin's words with a calm head.
After a while, when he was sure that Kronin had no intention of continuing to say anything for the time being, he raised his head again.
He looked at Kronin very seriously and asked, "I thought that I had enough evaluation and respect for you, but this level of evaluation and respect is completely unworthy of your wisdom. Therefore, first of all, I would like to sincerely apologize to you for the rudeness and arrogance in my heart."
"There's no need. This is not a problem for you alone, but a problem for many. Just like how a tiger will always look down on a wild wolf, it's not a crime for a native to look down on a magic conductor. The reason why I said so much to you just now is because I have a special understanding of you. I think that there might be a real in-depth communication between us."
Kronin's words made Lei Luo's eyes light up. "So, there's still a possibility of cooperation between us?"
"Of course. Otherwise, why would I tell you this?" Kronin asked with a smile.
Lei Luo smiled in relief. He thought for a while and then asked tentatively, "I don't know why, but I suddenly have a feeling that you seem to have been waiting for me to cooperate with you…"
"If you don't appear within ten days, then we will very likely send people to contact you."
Kronin's words once again surprised Lei Luo. He was stunned for a long time before he asked,
"But…why?"
"Then why are you confident that you can convince me?" Kronin asked back.
"Because I have some bad news for the magic conductors. I think that after you see this news, you will cooperate with me," Lei Luo said.
"Some regions of the empire have already started a large-scale purge of the magisters, resulting in a riot. Is this it?"
Lei Luo was no longer shocked, because he was so shocked that he was somewhat numb.
"How did old Mister Bai… ?"
Kronin smiled faintly.
"To be able to obtain such confidential information, it can be seen that Sir Lei Luo and Prince Ulysses should have formed a reliable alliance. Congratulations, sir.".
"However, not only the massacres, but also those who were massacred know of this news."
"Are you saying that it's the news from the magister in the riot zone?"
"In order to consolidate its rule, the senate deliberately tore apart the connections between the provinces, the alliances, and the lords. Thus, in this advanced magic era, the senate still has a way to block the relevant information. However, as the victims of the massacre, we don't have such a torn relationship. A long time ago, we gradually established a connection, and in recent years, this connection between us has covered the entire empire."
"Has a complete system been formed between the magic conductors?"
When Lei Luo put the teacup on the table, his right hand trembled slightly.
"We have only established a perfect connection, but we have not formed a perfect system. Because like the natives, the magic conductor is also a human, and our interests are not completely unified. However, at the very least, we can communicate with each other."
Hearing this, Lei Luo gently exhaled and said with a self-deprecating laugh, "Smart people always like to think of themselves as chess players and others as chess pieces. But why haven't I thought about it? Why don't others think of themselves as chess players? When I'm thinking about how to use others as chess pieces, why don't others think about how to use me as a chess piece?"
"With your pride, it's already rare for you to say this."
"When did you start paying attention to me?"
"After you outsmarted and acquired the Holy City of Beauty."
"I only occupied a small city, and the lords of the third province are as numerous as the stars in the sky. Why did you pay attention to me?"
"Although there are many stars in the sky, they can't hide the brilliance of the giant stars.".
"Your show in the city not only shocked us, it also caused a small commotion in the third province. You're probably too busy and haven't had time to pay attention to it. Many organizations have already listed you in the highest-level database and are starting to conduct in-depth research on you. You even have the nickname of Military Advisor Ghost Shadow."
"Is this move worth the time you spent waiting for me?"
"Of course not. What makes us the most excited is your rebellion against the senate and the current system. We know that you don't like to use regular military officers. You even used the pirate corps. You have a strong insufferable temperament, and for people like us, we like anyone who is insufferable. For us, if possible, we hope that as many native people like you can take over the power. This is good for us."
"I understand. If that's the case, then everything will be as it should be. There are no obstacles in our deal. We just need to discuss some details.
"Since that's the case, then before that, I want to ask you a personal question."
"Please."
"What kind of person do you think I am?"
Kronin hesitated for a moment and said, "From a certain point of view, you are more mature than most people, but from a certain point of view, you are still a child."
Lei Luo blinked and asked again, "If I am still a child, then how can I grow up?"
"Only through the baptism of blood can you become a real man."
"Haven't I experienced enough blood in the Holy City of Beauty?"
"The real blood is the blood that will make your heart ache when it flows."
Lei Luo's eyes widened as he asked, "Whose blood is that?"
"This is a question that only you can answer."
Kronin paused for a moment before continuing, "This is a question that every person who wants to become a powerhouse must know the answer to."
When the topic of fresh blood ended, Kronin changed the topic.
He started to discuss the details of the cooperation with Lei Luo, as well as the terms of the deal between the two parties.
Compared to the beginning of the empire, the military's logistical support was mainly handled by civilians. However, the military was increasingly unwilling to hire civilians to handle their logistical support.
This was because modern humans had already abandoned the hard work, frugality, and adventurous spirit of the beginning of the empire. The weakness of the human nature of being lazy once again enveloped the entire human race.

Chapter 427: Broad Vision
Compared to them, magic conductors were not only cheaper but also more reliable and hardworking.
Therefore, abandoning civilians and choosing to produce a large number of magic conductors to participate in military production and logistical support had almost become the common trend of modern armies.
The Great Wall of Iron Blood was a complete fortress of war. Other than the army of millions, there were only hundreds of millions of magic conductors left.
The army was only responsible for fighting. Everything else naturally fell on the sorcerers.
Whether it was the production of energy, processing, the repair of the fleet, or the maintenance of the space port, all of these were under the control of the sorcerers.
What Kronin and his accomplices needed to do was to cooperate with Lei Luo to launch a riot on the ground when necessary and completely paralyze the ground defense of the Great Wall of Iron Blood.
Lei Luo promised that he would persuade the British Immortal Economic Union to launch the largest offensive in the past decade.
On four fronts, they would launch a general attack on the Phoenix Alliance, forcing the fleet on the Great Wall of Iron Blood to send reinforcements.
And Lei Luo's fleet would choose the right time to launch a surprise attack on the Great Wall of Iron Blood, creating a situation conducive to the riot for the fertility magister group on the ground.
Although it was a detail, both of them had only reached a vague concept.
When Lei Luo created a favorable time for the magister to riot, the magister would riot.
And once the magister started a riot, Lei Luo's fleet would use all their strength to attack the Great Wall of Iron Blood.
Lei Luo didn't tell Kronin how he would persuade the alliance to launch such an attack, nor did he say how he would attack the Great Wall of Iron Blood, and Kronin did not tell Lei Luo how he would start a riot.
Lei Luo did not say it because he believed that Kronin would do everything.
That was not the only reason why Kronin did not say it.
As for the terms of the exchange, it was relatively simple.
After seizing the Great Wall of Iron Blood, Lei Luo would gain control of the city, and all the fertility magicians in the city would be protected by their own bodies and peacefully move to the Cape of Good Hope.
After that, Lei Luo would be responsible for escorting a portion of the core members to the rebel area to participate in their rebel cause.
As for the remaining fertility magicians, Lei Luo promised to seize an energy city as soon as possible for them to live in.
These magicians would receive Lei Luo's military protection, and they could exercise complete autonomy in the city.
However, they were not allowed to participate in an armed rebellion, nor were they allowed to manufacture weapons. All the energy produced must be sold to Lei Luo.
He had thought that it would take about a month to reach the Great Wall of Iron Blood.
However, in just two hours, all the problems had been solved.
And all of this was not because he was very smart, but because he had a partner who was much stronger than he had imagined.
This made Lei Luo happy, but he was also a little disappointed. However, most of all, he was emotional.
After the official business was finished, Lei Luo asked, "After this plan is over, are you going to the rebel area as well?"
"Yes, the headquarters are urging me urgently. We have always wanted to go there as soon as possible, but we just couldn't find the right time."
"Sigh…"
Lei Luo sighed.
"This time, I was able to meet you, so I finally understood what it meant to say that there is always someone better than you.
"I originally thought that after this incident, I would have to learn more from old master Bai. "I didn't expect that I would no longer have the chance."
"Sir Lei Luo, you don't have to belittle yourself like this. If it was just in terms of thinking ability, I wouldn't be able to catch up to you even if I flattered you. The reason why I can see so clearly in certain areas isn't because of how fast my brain can think, nor is it because of how strong my calculation and memory abilities are. You humans have fallen into one of the biggest deviations, and that is always competing to see who can think faster, who has more power, and who has more computing power. That's right, over the years, you have made amazing progress in these three areas, but you have lost the most important thing, which is a wide field of vision."
"Wide field of vision?"
Kronin replied with a smile, "It's a broad field of vision. It sounds like a completely meaningless illusory word, right? How many steps does it take from your home to the market closest to you?"
Lei Luo shook his head blankly. "I don't know."
"An answer that can be found by walking once, but many people will never get it in their lifetime. Why is that? Because you've never thought of it that way. Most of our lives, what we think is more important than how we think. Magic has brought a lot of convenience to humans and gave a great boost to human civilization. But at the same time, it has also limited human vision and ossified human thinking, making humans more dependent and lazy. From a certain point of view, you have improved, but from another point of view, you have regressed."
"What you think is more important than how you think."
Lei Luo silently recited this sentence in his heart. After repeating it a few times, he said, "May I ask one last question?"
"Please speak."
"Just now, you evaluated me as an immature person. I was not convinced before, but after listening to a series of high-level arguments, I am completely convinced. But I would like to ask, is it possible for an immature person to become a good commander?"
At this moment, Lei Luo had already completely regarded the Kronin in front of him as his teacher.
Therefore, before he left, he would still ask this question.
Kronin smiled and said, "A truly good commander wouldn't ask this question. Because a good commander wouldn't doubt himself."
"Thank you, I understand."
Lei Luo nodded, stood up, and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute."
Kronin raised his hand and motioned for Lei Luo to sit down.
"You are now a first-rate staff officer, a second-rate general, and a third-rate commander. If you are a king, then you are not even a ninth-rate commander.
If you are already old, then there is naturally nothing to say.
But the problem is that you are still so young, and you have a strong ability to reflect on yourself.
"You have enough qualifications to be optimistic about your own prospects. No one is born to be a king."
When Kronin said this, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Speaking of which, we have hit it off quite well. I have something to say to you."
Lei Luo leaned forward. "Please speak."
"Sir Lei Luo, you probably don't understand what happiness feels like, right?"
Kronin's words stunned Lei Luo for a moment. "Er…"

Chapter 428: A Broken Heart
"Is there anything in Sir Lei Luo's life that must be obtained? Is there anything in Sir Lei Luo's life that must be protected?"
"…"
"Only the most shameless and sinister people can ascend to a high position. All history is the history of conspiracies. This is the most accepted view of history. However, this is also the view of history of the weak. The weaker and inferior the person, the more willing they are to believe in conspiracy theories. They like to classify everything that cannot be explained as a conspiracy. But in my opinion, a true king is definitely not an animal that only relies on intelligence and resourcefulness."
"What kind of person is a true king?"
After being speechless for a few minutes, Lei Luo finally spoke.
"A true king is a person who knows how to be happy. Not only can he feel happiness, but he can also transmit this kind of happiness. A true king gives hope to those who are in despair, goals to those who are lost, and collectives to those who are lonely. A true king needs to have extraordinary intelligence and a strong personality. and most importantly, he needs to have the strength to warm people's hearts."
When Kronin said this, he took a deep breath.
"Sir Lei Luo, you already have extraordinary wisdom and a strong personality. However, in terms of warming people's hearts, please forgive me for being blunt. You are more like a willful child."
Lei Luo swallowed his saliva, unable to speak.
"I can see from your eyes that although your gaze is firm, your eyes always tremble involuntarily. I can see from your sitting posture that although you want to appear very casual every time, in reality, your body has never truly relaxed. It is almost always in a tense state. I can see from your actions that you have never placed your palm on a person. You have always placed the back of your hand on a person. Sir Lei Luo, there is resentment in your heart that you have never shared with others. This resentment that is buried in the deepest part of your heart controls everything about you. You have become the slave of this hatred and even lost yourself because of it. You are like floating grass in the air, always moving with the wind, but you have no direction of your own. Therefore, you have nothing that you must obtain, nothing that you must protect. You do not love others, and it is difficult for you to truly accept the love of others. Sir Lei luo, compared to a human, you are more like a man made by machines."
Lei Luo, who had been pursing his lips and forcefully controlling his body, finally could not bear it anymore.
He jumped out, "Thank you for your teachings. I'm sorry…"
After saying that, Lei Luo flew out.
"Why can't you just tell him everything that will happen?"
When Lei Luo flew out, Kronin sighed, stood up, and looked towards the study.
"Everyone has a weak side in their heart. If you want to become a true powerhouse, you must first learn to face your broken heart."
A voice came from the study. It was a woman's voice. This voice exuded a lazy feeling from the bones.
Normally, the feeling of laziness was vague and approachable.
However, this voice was lazy. However, aside from laziness, there was a clear coldness that kept people away.
It was like a drop of clear spring on a high mountain. It looked clear and moving. When one reached out to touch it, one would find that it was a cold that penetrated one's heart.
As the voice sounded, a woman slowly walked out of the study.
Just like her voice, her face was languid and cold, and in her eyes, there was a look of insight and helplessness.
When people see a woman who is pleasing to the eye, they call her beautiful.
When they see a woman who is pleasing to the eye, they call her beautiful.
And some women don't get any evaluation. All they get is a sigh.
They were so beautiful snd yet so far away that there was no room for imagination.
This woman was such a woman, and people could only sigh.
However, if Lei Luo was present, he would not think too much, because he would only think of one thing—this woman was exactly the same as the woman on the cross.
"But no matter what, he's only an 18-year-old child. Maybe we should give him more time."
Kronin shook his head, unable to bear it.
"Don't get emotional easily. It'll affect your judgment."
As the woman spoke, she turned her head and looked outside the door.
"Since Mellie was able to give him 'God's time,' she naturally had high expectations for him. Although Mellie has a bad temper and is narrow-minded, she still has a good eye for people. You should believe that this young man will not collapse so easily."
"Although that's what he said, I don't know why, but when I saw him lowering his head and forcing himself to sit there and listen to me, I suddenly felt that I was very cruel."
After saying this, Kronin smiled faintly at the woman.
"Your Highness, perhaps I'm really old."
"Now is not the time for such meaningless feelings. I've already met this person. In the future, you will be the one to communicate with him. Now, it depends on whether he can survive this trial on his own. If he can, then you can continue to help and monitor him at the same time."
"Then…what if he can't get through this trial?"
The woman paused for a moment and shook her head. "No, in my opinion, he should be able to get through it. As I said before, Mellie's shortcomings are piled up like a mountain, but her eyesight is not bad. That's all. I'm leaving. If there's anything, contact me at any time."
As the woman spoke, she turned her body towards the door.
Kronin bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Your Highness. Farewell, Your Highness."
The woman did not say anything and just walked towards the door. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly stopped, turned around, and said to Kronin, "If the situation that you're talking about really happens, then take 'God's time' from his arms as soon as possible. There are only four of those. If he can't do it, we must immediately find a successor. The time until the gate of the Devil Realm opens is getting tighter and tighter. We have no time to waste."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Kronin bowed respectfully once again.
The night, the endless night, the night that seemed to never end, descended from the sky like an airtight black cloth, covering Lei Luo's face.
In the beginning, he didn't feel much. He only felt light fog-like air.
But soon, Lei Luo began to experience some breathing difficulties.

Chapter 429: I Like Your Laugh
In an instant, the difficulty of breathing turned to suffocation. He reached out with all his might, trying to tear the thing off his face.
But the harder he pulled, the harder the black thing pressed against his face.
Eventually, it even seeped into the skin of Lei Luo's face.
It was a burning pain that was so real and penetrating.
It made Lei Luo clench his teeth, and his whole body couldn't help but twitch.
"Ah!"
Finally, Lei Luo couldn't stand it anymore. He opened his mouth wide and shouted out loud with all his strength.
With this shout, Lei Luo woke up from his dream.
When he woke up, he saw all the lights in the hotel room were on, and his head was full of sweat.
He didn't know whether that shout was in a dream or in reality.
He got up and drank a mouthful of water. Lei Luo sat on the bed, unable to fall asleep again.
So, Lei Luo decided to take a hot bath.
When his whole body was in the bathtub, and the warm water flowed over the surface of his skin, Lei Luo's nervous mood was slightly relieved.
However, what followed was a faint sense of loneliness.
Lei Luo scratched his head and took out his communication crystal.
After hesitating for a moment, Lei Luo still chose to contact Allie.
"Who is it?"
Allie's voice was unclear. One could tell that she was woken up from a dream. She was still a little confused.
"What's wrong? Are you sleeping?" Lei Luo asked.
"Please look at the time."
Allie's voice was still not very clear, but it was much better than before.
"Did I wake you up? Then I won't disturb you anymore," Lei Luo said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Oh my, you've woken me up. It doesn't matter…what's wrong with you? You don't sound like you have something urgent to do. Could it be that you've gone there feeling lonely and are beginning to miss me?"
People in the dark were always more emotional and cute than during the day, especially women. Allie was no exception.
If it was during the day, she would never have said such a joke.
But at night, even she didn't know what was going on, so she just blurted it out.
Allie's joke stunned Lei Luo for a while. After a while, he nodded and said in a very low voice, "Yes."
Lei Luo's voice was very low, but Allie was very quiet, so she heard his answer perfectly.
This time, it was Allie's turn to be in a daze. She was in a daze for a while before she realized that her ears were a little hot.
Allie cleared her throat shyly and asked, "Did something happen on your side? Did things not go smoothly?"
"No, it went more smoothly than I expected. The other party prepared much more than I expected. I don't have much work to do. I can go back tomorrow."
Allie wasn't very excited when she heard Lei Luo's words. She seemed a little surprised.
"Isn't that all good? Why are you still so depressed?"
"I'm fine. I was just…moaning for a moment. Do you find it annoying that I'm like this?" Lei Luo asked timidly.
"How can that be? I think it's pretty good. No one is invincible. You're always acting like you can solve anything. It's actually quite annoying to watch," Allie said as she slid her originally sitting body onto the bed and raised her head.
"Allie, can you tell me what I look like in your eyes?" Lei Luo asked.
"Nonsense? What's going on today? You're such an arrogant guy, but you actually want to hear other people's comments about you?"
Allie smiled and rolled on the bed.
Lei Luo patted the back of his head awkwardly. "It's okay to comment once in a while, right?"
"For you, the first thing I feel is that you're smart."
"Other than being smart?"
"Conceited, arrogant, and self-righteous. You Don't trust others in everything but yourself. Also, you like to act big. You like to let others follow your own steps when you do things. Once they don't obey, you'll think of ways to make them submit…"
"Hey, stop for a moment. Why does it sound like all of them are flaws? I won't listen. Tell me some good points."
Lei Luo protested unhappily.
"Speaking of good points, you actually have a kind side, but you don't seem to be good at expressing it. I don't know who taught you to be like this. Even if it's for the good of others, you always treat others well in a condescending manner. It makes people feel uncomfortable."
"Is this considered a good point? Why doesn't it sound like it at all?"
"Barely."
"Don't I have any advantages that aren't forced?"
"Of course. At least you miss me."
At this point, Allie smiled smugly.
"Do you have to be so happy when I miss you?"
"To be able to make an abnormal human like you want to, it fully proves my boundless charm. It's not too much to be proud, right?" Allie said as she continued to smile brightly.
Perhaps it was because Allie's smile was too infectious, Lei Luo, who was originally gloomy, actually laughed along with her.
"Allie, I like your laughter."
This sentence came out of Lei Luo's mouth.
And this sentence once again caused a short silence between the two of them.
As if realizing that he had made a mistake, Lei Luo explained in a tone of explanation. "I mean, I like your laughter."
"I know…since you don't have anything to do over there, then I want you to accompany me to see Saxton. Can you do that? You can treat it as helping me, or you can treat it as a recuperation before the Great War."
"No problem," Lei Luo answered without even thinking.
Just like what he had been doing for the past month or so, although he was very dissatisfied, Zha Mu was still diligently leading his subordinates around the Holy City of Beauty.
During the day, he had to be calculative with Morton to receive and inspect the ships under his command.
He also had to clean up his own internal affairs and restore the formation of those fleets that had been broken up. Every captain and high-ranking commander had to be reappointed.
At night, he still had to bring his mecha team members and the other old "East God" subordinates to patrol the civilian areas that were filled with the rumors of a civilian uprising.
That night, just as he was dressed neatly as usual and was about to go out to patrol, he unexpectedly bumped into Karman in the corridor of the police station.
Just as Zha Mu lowered his head and was about to brush past him as if he hadn't seen anything, Karman called out to Zha Mu. "Commander Zha Mu."
Zha Mu stopped and forced a smile. "Lord Karman."

Karman smiled as he slowly walked towards Zha Mu and asked, "Is the reorganization of the fleet going smoothly?"
Because the amiability that Karman displayed at this moment was completely different from the arrogance that he usually displayed, even Zha Mu felt a little uncomfortable. He cleared his throat slightly and nodded, "It's all right."
"I heard that Captain Zha Mu seems to be lacking in manpower. Is there anything that I can help you with?"
"I have a few hundred old subordinates coming over to join me recently. They are all very good captains.
"If Captain Zha Mu needs them, I can spare some for you."
"There's no need. Our Grizzly Pirates gang doesn't lack captains for the time being."
Zha Mu was about to leave. At this time, Karman continued to say with a smile, "But why did I hear that during the battle for the Holy City of Beauty, the Grizzly pirates were almost wiped out. They had no choice but to open their recruitment doors to some small pirate groups and wandering pirates."
'The hateful face has finally been exposed,' Zha Mu thought so in his heart.
He turned around and said to Karman, "The pirates of the world are one family. It's not for the regular army to worry about us pirates."
After saying that, he ignored Karman and turned around to leave.
"I wonder how Captain Zha Mu felt when he saw his brother turn into dust?"
Behind Zha Mu, Karman said slowly with a calm expression.
Every word and sentence pierced Zha Mu's heart like needles.
But he still suppressed the anger in his heart and stood where he was:
"As pirates, from the day we set foot on the pirate ship, we have been prepared for that day. You don't have to worry about us."
Just as Captain Zha Mu finished speaking, Karman raised his voice and laughed. "I seem to hear Captain Zha Mu's hatred is about to pierce through his chest and spew out."
After hearing what Karman said, he remembered that Karman was brought back personally by Lei Luo.
Zha Mu was slightly shocked. He thought to himself, 'It's over. I was provoked by this guy.'
Just as Zha Mu was thinking about how to deal with this situation, another person walked out from the corner in front of him.
"A man's hatred should be written in his sword and blood, not in his chest."
Zha Mu looked at the person in front of him and then turned to look at Karman.
While he was terrified, he began to feel confused. "What do you want to do?"
At this moment, the sound of light footsteps could be heard.
When everyone heard the footsteps, they knew that it was Arthur.
The person standing in the corner quickly hid, while Zha Mu and Karman continued to stand where they were.
"Commander Zha Mu, Lord Karman, both of you are here. That's good. It saves me the trouble of going around to inform everyone that Lei Luo is back. He's gathering everyone for a meeting."
"Oh, I got it."
Zha Mu nodded expressionlessly.
"So fast? Is everything going smoothly?"
Karman appeared to be a little surprised and also a little flustered. These subtle expressions of his was noticed by Zha Mu.
However, Arthur, who was a careless guy, naturally wouldn't notice such details.
"I've gathered everyone today mainly to inform everyone about my work at the Great Wall of Iron Blood."
After all the members who should be present sat down, Lei Luo spoke in a straightforward manner.
Because in the previous phone call, Lei Luo had roughly explained the situation to Allie, and before the meeting, he had also communicated with Morton.
Therefore, this meeting was mainly for the other three people in the venue, Arthur, Zha Mu, and Karman.
"As expected of Lei Luo. Such a difficult task, since it was completed so quickly."
Karman smiled and shrugged, speaking in a very relaxed tone.
It should be said that Karman's performance was still very good.
Apart from Zha Mu, no one else present could tell that his smile was a disguise.
When he turned around and saw Zha Mu's meaningful smile, he quickly withdrew his gaze.
Morton noticed the special communication between the two of them, but he did not think too deeply into it. He just thought that the two of them did not get along.
And in his opinion, with Karman's personality, it would be difficult for him to get along with anyone.
"It's not that I'm brilliant, but our partners are stronger and more powerful than we imagined. They have already formed a strong and powerful organization in the Great Wall of Iron Blood. They don't need my help to do any communication or organization work."
"The magic shooters on the Great Wall of Iron Blood have already formed a strong and powerful organization?"
At this point, Karman's face showed an instinctive disgust.
"This is not good news for us. Once we succeed, we have to get rid of their core members."
"As a commander who was raised by the senate since young, I can understand your instinctive defense of the rules of the senate. But I still have to remind you that the magic guides on the Great Wall of Iron Blood are allies, not enemies. They are now, and they will remain so even after we succeed."
Karman could hear the obvious displeasure in Lei Luo's tone.
So, he shut his mouth and did not say anything about this idea.
The following meeting was very procedural. It was just to confirm the current progress of the work and to implement the battle plan again.
After all this, Lei Luo announced, "I'm only going to the the US Holy City today. Considering Allie's diplomatic experience is not enough, I intend to accompany her myself on this trip to Saxton."
"Why not stay? The army needs you too," said Morton.
"Lord Karman and Captain Zha Mu have just made things right, and if I interfere, many things will have to start over again, and changing the day-to-day will not be conducive to our immediate actions. Therefore, let Lord Karman and Commander Zha Mu carry on with the military matters as before."
"Hu…"
When Lei Luo finished speaking, Lord Karman's heart, which had been on his chest all this while, finally relaxed.
