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.
"h.e.l.lo, 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 ident.i.ty could not be revealed.
Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. He thought to himself, "Oh my G.o.d, 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 a.s.sist 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 rea.s.suring 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 G.o.d 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.
"h.e.l.lo, 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?"
