Chapter 445: Mutiny

Zacken sighed and nodded. I can understand both of your feelings. However, to be honest, what Lord Lei Luo did to the Grizzly Pirateswas that fair? Everything is just cause and effect. If we really look into it, who is right and who is wrong? Who can say it clearly?

Hearing Zackens words, Morton and Arthur had nothing to say.

If they really had to talk about it, it was their side that was in the wrong.

After all, there was only one person on their side who had been in prison for a few days, but almost their entire team had been crippled.

Seeing that Morton and Arthur did not refute, Zacken also stopped.

To be honest, I have always been against the recent rebellion. The reason is simple. With our current strength, its difficult for us to stand on our own. We have to rely on a strong person to survive. Although Lei Luo has harmed us before, hes still a much stronger person than Karman. As for the reason, I dont think I need to explain. The two of you should be clear about it.

Arthur opened his mouth, wanting to say something unpleasant like, You only know that now? Arent you smart enough to have figured that out?

But this time, Morton reached out to stop him. What do you mean now? Right now, most of our regiment has fallen into an unrealistic fanaticism, thinking that we can monopolize the Holy City of Beauty. However, there is no doubt that this is an impossible goal. In the end, we still have to return to the starting point, and that is to rely on a powerhouse. Regardless of whether Karman is dead or alive, after our second rebellion, we will definitely break with him. In that case, we only have one choice left.

This majority should be everyone except for Commander Zacken, right?

Morton smiled faintly. One sentence had exposed Zackens skill in using words.

This was within Zackens expectations, so he did not appear to be in a sorry state.

This is also why I came to ask for the support of the two of you.

Why should we trust you? Arthur suddenly interjected.

Because we need each other.

Zacken turned his face and looked at Arthur.

Emotions are like a storm. Although it can be scary, it will pa.s.s eventually. The only thing that determines the long-term survival of mankind and the logic of doing things will always be the need.

At this moment, Zackens gaze was sharp, and his words were neither servile nor overbearing. For a moment, he actually forced Arthur to be a little embarra.s.sed.

Morton, who was at the side, quietly stared at Zacken. He thought to himself, What a mistake. I cant believe that such a talent was only discovered today.

Do you want to repeat the previous mistake of our Grizzly Pirates, or do you want to make a rational choice and cooperate with us? Its a deal between the two of you.

As Zacken spoke, he acted as if he was about to stand up.

Well send people to contact all parts of the area now. Whats the second thing you need us to do?

Although he didnt directly answer the question, Mortons meaning was very clear.

I hope that the two of you can defend the defense center to the death. No matter what happens, dont make a move, Zacken said.

Zackens words made Morton frown slightly. Arthur, who was beside him, had already spoken.

Why do the mutinies on the ground need the defense center? The defense buildings cant attack the ground.

Yes, what Im worried about is the sky, Zacken said as he pointed to the sky.

Are you saying that Karman faked his death?

Morton immediately reacted.

So far, we have no way to deny this possibility.

The port is not under the surveillance of the defense center. We have no way to know whether Karman is really dead or has sneaked to the other provinces. Once we gather, they will attack us. If thats the case, then they only need one heavy battles.h.i.+p to control the entire battle.

Zackens words made Mortons eyes widen. He stood up and paced a few steps before walking back to Zacken. He said with an extremely serious expression and speed, Have you told your brother all of this?

Ive already told him in private.

Whats the result?

400,000 old warriors of the Grizzly Pirates, as well as some absolutely reliable new members, have been a.s.signed to me. Ive ordered all of them to secretly approach ports 3, 7, and 9. Our maintenance troops will be there to receive them. All of our heavy battles.h.i.+ps and 150 heavy patrols are gathered at these three ports.

Are you prepared for your brother to attack the Holy City of America and you to carry out the escape plan?

Yes, in the ground war, aerial combat is meaningless, so my brother gave all of his reliable aerial combat soldiers to me.

Morton nodded heavily. Then, he asked Zacken seriously, Do you really want to serve Lei Luo?

It doesnt matter. As a traitor, if I want to win the future for the Grizzly Pirates, I have to be even more loyal.

You will become one of Lei Luos trusted arms.

Morton looked at Zacken and spoke with certainty.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the inspector rush into the meeting room. Commander, Casa has brought a large number of heavy-armored warriors to attack. There are also many imperial mages accompanying him.

Zacken stood up in shock and exclaimed, How did that happen so quickly?

You actually guessed it.

He had thought that Zackens worries were right from the start, but when Zackens worries became a reality so quickly, Morton really did not know what to do.

What surprised both of them was that Arthur was surprisingly calm in the face of all this.

He slowly stood up and gently patted the table with his hand.

What should come will come. You two smart people should continue thinking about complicated things. Im going up.

Go, f*ck it.

As Arthur said this, he waved his hand at the examiner.

Morton actually smelled a faint smell of blood when he waved his hand.

As the heart of a citys defense, the defense center naturally had a strong defensive power.

Otherwise, under the concentrated firepower of the enemy, the defense center would be the first to be paralyzed. What else was there to fight for?

It was even more so for the fortress city, the Holy City of Beauty.

In order to protect the defense center, the lord of the distant mountains had built a total of 100 large-scale city s.h.i.+elds for it.

Four hundred small-scale city s.h.i.+elds combined to form a super defense s.h.i.+eld.

This kind of defense was so solid that it could even withstand the most terrifying magic attacks.

There was also a big reason why Karman was willing to accept Arthurs surrender. It was because he thought that it would consume too much energy to take down the defense center.

Level up the s.h.i.+eld magic to the highest level.

The first thing Arthur did when he rushed from the meeting room to the combat room was to immediately give instructions to the defense officer.
