After sending Charlotte away, Lei Luo called Morton and Katz in.
“I need to go out and find the medicine that is going to cure Allie. I don’t know how long it will take. During this period of time, spread the news that I have forcefully used a Level-9 spell and that I am dead. Capture the traitor in the team.”
Morton and Katz looked at each other, not knowing what to say. After all, they did not have much of a say in this matter.
“This period of time is enough to run the Cape of Good Hope well. I will have Ulysses fully support you, and the deal with Saxton can be completed.”
Morton quickly asked, “What about the magic conductor?”
“Let them be pirates in the Satan’s Wings. This way, they can shut the elders’ council’s mouth, and…” Lei Luo spoke with a sly smile. “We can slowly occupy the entire Satan’s Wings with the help of the Cape of Good Hope. We can also let them think that we have an irreconcilable conflict with the magic conductor, and we can make the Pirate Army formed by the magic conductor oppose us. That way, they can more or less lower their guard. When I’m not around, we can recruit more pirates and turn them into our army. We can let them accept the concept of our Black Angel. It would be best if we can take down one of the three giants of the wings of Satan. Our cooperation with Trump will ensure the operation of our fleet.”
After listening to Lei Luo’s plan, Morton and Katz smiled bitterly and agreed.
“Then who do you plan to let lead our fleet?”
Lei Luo was silent and slowly said, “Let Charlotte do it.”
“Do you trust him so much?” Morton asked in disbelief.
Although this person was recommended by him, Charlotte was too mysterious. He was someone with an unclear background, and Morton was skeptical about letting him take control and being in power. He didn’t think it was such a good idea.
“I’ve already talked to him. I can hand her over to him for the time being.”
Lei Luo stood up, hugged Morton and Katz, and said, “I’m sorry. This is my willfulness. I can’t just watch Allie lie on the bed for the rest of her life. I’ll hand her over to you.”
Morton gave Lei Luo a punch and said with a smile, “You aren’t dealing with this alone. We all know that. Just go. Leave this place to us.”
After patting lei luo, Katz also said, “My life is yours. You don’t have to tell me what to do. I’ll help you too. When you come back, you’ll be able to see a brand new Black Angel army.”
On a warship, Lei Luo had changed his appearance. Now, he looked like a middle-aged man who had gone through many vicissitudes. His beard was unkempt, and he was sitting by the window with a cigarette dangling from his hand, listening to the conversations of the people around him.
“Did you know that something happened to the Great Wall of Iron Blood? A group of people attacked the Great Wall of Iron Blood and then used it and the book of the immortal to exchange for the Cape of Good Hope. Now, the city lord of Broken Army city has begun to retreat with his own troops.”
Another person who listened to his words asked in surprise, “Were they not hunted down by the people of the Phoenix Alliance? You should know that the Great Wall of Iron Blood is the key point of the game between the two alliances. How could they just hand it over to someone like that?”
“Of course, that’s just on the surface. Do you know how the leader of that group took down the Great Wall of Iron Blood?”
“How did he take it down?”
That person pricked up his ears. Everyone around him was absent-minded and wanted to know.
“It’s said that this leader can cast a Level-9 spell and destroy six lord-tier fleets in one go.”
“How is that possible? The highest mage can only cast a Level-8 spell now. How could he cast a Level-9 spell? That’s too ridiculous.”
The speaker pretended to be profound. “It’s just that you don’t know, but the leader died of exhaustion after releasing Level-9 spells. Now, the organization is in a state of disunity. It turned out that the magic guide was still used as an army, but it has also separated. It seems that the interests have not been negotiated.”
The people around were all exclaiming in surprise, sighing at the high level of magic attainments of the leader and sighing. If the leader was still alive, he would have been the ruler of a force by now.
Lei Luo smiled and placed his legs on the bed. Holding the newly bought communicator, he dialed Ulysses’ magic signal. In order to not let Strachey know, Lei Luo had specially modified his magic circuit, and it would look like Ulysses’ subordinates were reporting the situation to him.
“Hey! How are things on your side?”
Lei Luo smoked the cigarette in his hand, his fingers sliding on the table.
“You’re not dead after all. I thought I could take over your fleet,” Ulysses responded with a smile as he swiped the pen in his hand.
This was the soundproof magic that Lei Luo had taught him. Moreover, this magic was modified by Lei Luo according to the magic system of the ancient Magic Empire. It was impossible for modern mages to crack it. It was just like two language systems, and there was no possibility of communication.
“You’re thinking too much. What’s the Elder Council saying now?”
“It’s still the same as before. On the surface, they say they want to send people to attack you, but no one is willing to send troops. They’re still constantly arguing.”
Lei Luo let out a sigh of relief. If the Elder Council really went all out, his “Black Angel” army might really die young. However, this was also in line with Lei Luo’s expectations. Just as the empire was about to fall into chaos, no one was willing to contribute to the empire anymore. Moreover, this was destined to be a thankless task.
“Are you really going to the northern border?”
Ulysses was a little puzzled. In his opinion, after taking the Cape of Good Hope, Lei Luo should be staying behind to manage the Black Angel Army.
“There’s no choice left for me. The medicine that Allie needs is in the northern border. I have to go,” Lei Luo replied in a deep voice. This was unavoidable. If he had arrived earlier, such a thing wouldn’t have happened.
“All right, I know I can’t persuade you. I have some information about the northern border and the technological blueprint that the Empire is developing vigorously. I can only help you this way. Right now, I seem to be free, but in reality, I’m under house arrest by Strachey. I hope you can come and rescue me as soon as possible.”
Ulysses seemed to be very relaxed, but in reality, Strachey had been pressuring him all this time. Strachey had been trying to interfere with his decision, and he was growing tired about it.
Putting down the communicator, he took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand and put it out in the ashtray. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly at the northern border. Lei Luo was pretty hopeful about the outcome.
…
On a city at the gate of the demon world, a tall figure stood at the highest point of the city. This city was twice the size of the tallest city known to mankind, and the blood on it had already solidified into a bloody scab. It added a hint of baleful aura to this ancient wall.
“Is the main body on the way here?” the figure muttered to himself. If one looked carefully, the face of the person in front of him looked like Lei Luo’s middle-aged face. If Lei Luo stood in front of him, he would definitely think that this was his father, because it was too similar.
“It’s finally going to be interesting.”
He turned around and walked into the snowstorm in the city, but there was not a single bit of snow on his loose white military uniform.
