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.”
