Chapter 399 - All Hands On Deck
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-cla.s.s 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 circ.u.mstances, 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 partic.i.p.ate 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 G.o.d, 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 G.o.d 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 G.o.d", it has become a true "East G.o.d"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 s.p.a.ceships 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."
