Chapter 443: Conserve Your Strength

Zha Mu felt his heart was in a mess. In fact, in his true heart, he felt the same as his subordinates. His blood was boiling. He could not wait to throw away his sleeves and fight.

The reason why he was in a mess was because his younger brother, Zacken, had once again raised a completely different opinion from everyone else.

This is indeed a good opportunity. However, I dont think that we should attack the sacred city. Instead, we should immediately gather all of our people, grab as many wars.h.i.+ps as possible, and leave the sacred city.

After everyone had expressed their opinions, Zacken finally expressed his thoughts.

What? You must be joking. Weve paid such a huge price to finally have this opportunity today. How can we just let it pa.s.s?

Zacken, arent you a little too cowardly?

Youre really muddle-headed. If you keep running, can you escape from the powerful Grizzly Pirates gang? Ive never heard of such a thing.

Thats right. Although Casa has a deep foundation in the army, hes just mediocre trash.

Pandinos strategy was higher than his, but he had no foundation in the army. He was completely relying on Karmans power.

These two people are like two dogs. In front of such people, were actually running away. This is too ridiculous.

Facing everyones objections, Zacken was not moved at all.

Run away and try to preserve our strength. This is our best choice at the moment.

Everyone, please be clear-headed. Even if we take down the city, were destined to not be able to defend it. Lei Luo dared to stay here because of his extraordinary intelligence. The reason why Karman dared to stay here is because he has a powerful backer. What right do we have? Do we have to rely on our last bit of blood and bone?

Zackens words were very reasonable. None of the people present knew how to refute him.

However, at this moment, almost all of them were blinded by the seemingly huge and easy-to-obtain benefits in front of them. None of them could really listen to Zackens words.

The meeting room fell into a sudden silence, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

At this moment, Adjutant Zackens report sounded outside the door again.

Whats the matter?

Zacken seemed to be a little displeased with the interruption of the meeting.

Reporting, commander. The intelligence officer reported that two minutes ago, Arthur led troops into the special prison and rescued Morton.

Meanwhile, in the Cave of the Deadly Vortex

After resting for a few hours, the effects of the military medicine were becoming more and more obvious.

Although his body was still very weak, Lei Luos words were barely comparable to a normal patient.

Cant you tell? Those who actively sent troops to intercept are all non-pirates.

Along the way, as long as it was within the Grizzly Pirates sphere of influence, almost not a single soldier was sent out.

Seeing that Allie was still a little confused, Lei Luo explained in a low voice.

Allie took a closer look at the crystal, and it was indeed the case. She nodded her head in relief.

Karmans personality is arrogant, and its understandable that hes not popular. This isnt just a problem of personality, but a problem of a fundamental conflict of interest. Between a commander like Karman who came from a formal system and a commander like Zha Mu who came from a pirate background, in terms of ideology and the distribution of interests, they were essentially irreconcilable. If they wanted to coexist, there was only one way, and that was to have a fair adjudicator who was superior to both of them. It was precisely because I knew this that I thought that there wouldnt be a problem, and that ended up to be one of my biggest mistakes.

When Lei Luo said this, he sighed regretfully.

I thought everyone was too rational. After all, humans are not machines. The logic of doing things is not simply based on what is beneficial and what is not. At the end of the day, I still dont understand human nature. This lesson will forever be engraved in my heart.

Humans are not saints

Allie was about to comfort him, but she was immediately interrupted by Lelo. He did not need such meaningless comfort.

Not long from now, Karman and the Grizzly Pirates will be at war. At that time, our chance will come. Very soon, we will have another big battle, but it wont be a one-on-one battle like today. Therefore, our priority now is to find a fleet that can fight.

Fleet? Where else can we find a fleet now? Allie asked in confusion.

Find a neutral city to settle down in first, then turn around and go to the Cape of Good Hope, Lei Luo said.

Go to the Cape of Good Hope? What are we going there for? Allie was even more confused.

Go there and wait for someone.

Who?

Someone who can bring our fleet.

When Lei Luo said this, he moved his body a little tiredly.

But before that, I need to spend one or two days treating my body.

What about the sacred city? What should we do?

Hearing Allies words, Lei Luo, who had a faint smile on his face, suddenly became gloomy.

Since the Karman rebellion, I havent been able to control everything. I can only adapt to the situation

Lei Luo sighed. It would have been better if that person had come earlier.

When Morton saw Arthur rus.h.i.+ng into the cell with his men, he almost immediately grabbed Arthur and asked excitedly. Is Lei Lou back?

No.

Arthur shook his head.

Then why are you here?

Morton let go of his hand and looked at Arthur strangely.

Karman is dead.

As if someone had hurriedly stabbed him in the waist, Mortons slightly bent back suddenly straightened up. Did you see it with your own eyes?

More or less

After seeing Mortons serious questioning gaze, Arthurs originally strong confidence began to shrink.

What do you mean more or less?

Originally, Morton wanted to believe this fact as Arthur did, but the hesitation in Arthurs eyes made him not dare to be so optimistic.

Its the magic crystal

Arthur told Morton everything that happened in the defense center that afternoon.

Seventy-nine percent? Morton stood where he was and muttered this number.

What are the actions of the Grizzly Pirates?

Ive already sent people to contact them, but I havent received any reply.

Stupid, why are you in such a hurry to make a move? Their att.i.tude right now is crucial! Why dont you contact them first? Youre really not doing things properly.

Morton looked at Arthur with a slightly resentful look.
