"With this relationship and my plan, they will definitely be interested, so the alliance on the Anglo-immortal Economic Union's side will not be a big problem. The real difficulty lies in the cooperation with the magic conductor, who our collaborators are, how we should cooperate, and how we should help them completely organize within a month. These are all fatal things. I can't just hand these things over to others. I have to do it myself. In this way, the only reliable person here is you, but you don't know anything about military affairs, so I can only make arrangements like this. As for Karman, I know in my heart that using him isn't without risks. But, as I said before, this is the last resort. You know the current situation. We have no way to establish a foothold in the Holy City of Beauty in the long run. We have to fight our way out in the short run. And at this juncture, I don't have the time to reorganize the army. I'm not completely at ease with letting Zha Mu do all the reorganizing. That's why I thought of poaching Karman. Apart from the previous reasons, I used Karman for two other reasons besides his own ability. First, although he said that he wanted to leave King Beichen's military status, no matter what, he was once King Beichen's man, and it was Ulysses who arranged for him to stay by my side. If he didn't get Ulysses' authorization and created trouble for us without permission, he wouldn't have been able to get past Ulysses. And I can tell that Ulysses and I are sincere in forming an alliance. He would never let Karman do such a thing."

Morton opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but before he could say anything, Lie Luo continued speaking.

"Even if Karman is extremely bold and wants to do something, I don't think he will be able to do it. The reason is simple. The people we handed over to him are basically people from the original East God. These people all acknowledge Allie, so how could they acknowledge him? Moreover, from now on, it will be less than a month at most. Even if he manages some of his armies during this period of time, it will be impossible for him to completely control this army in such a short period of time. Although I'm a businessman and I'm not as good at strategic military strategy as you, I still feel that there's a dead reason. I'm always terrified when I don't control the army in my own hands."

"Then what do you think we should do? You and Allie don't know anything about military affairs, and I have to go outside again."

"How about this? How about I go for you on the side of the magic conductor? You'd better stay in the Holy City of Beuaty to reorganize the army and let Karman be your deputy. I think this is more appropriate."

"No."

Lei Luo rejected the idea very straightforwardly. "If the alliance with the magic conductor on the 'Great Wall of Iron Blood is to disappear, I have to go personally. I'm not doubting your ability, but this matter is too important. I can't tolerate even the slightest mistake."

Lei Luo smiled and patted Morton's shoulder.

"Don't worry too much. As long as we reach the Cape of Good Hope, I'll settle everything."

Morton saw that Lei Luo's attitude was very firm, so he could only sigh in the end and say, "I hope that I'm worrying over nothing."

"All right, go ahead then. I have a lot of things to do with my finances."

As Morton spoke, he was about to leave when he asked again, "When do you plan to depart?"

"Tonight, I still have to explain to Allie how to talk. After that, I'll depart tomorrow.

"After I've done most of my work at the Great Wall of Iron Blood, I'll send you a message. At that time, Allie will be able to depart directly."

"Set off tomorrow? So soon? Aren't you going to stay for another day or two?"

"Brother, how can I have time? Don't you know what kind of environment we're in now?"

Lei Luo smiled and patted Morton's shoulder. When he saw Morton's slightly disappointed expression, he asked again, "Why? is something the matter?"

"No." Morton smiled and shook his head:

"Arthur's birthday is the day after tomorrow. He said he wanted to treat us to a drink."

"What's a man's birthday? He's not a woman." Lei Luo raised his head and laughed.

"Hey..." Morton waved his hand. "Actually, we're just looking for a reason to get together and have a chat. Unknowingly, we've been together for more than eight months, but we don't really have much time to get together. I'm fine with you. I always have the opportunity to talk to you, but Arthur never had the opportunity to talk to you. Arthur was completely convinced of you. He always thought that you were his idol and felt that it was his lifetime fortune to be able to meet you. Although his ability was limited, during these eight months, within the limits of Arthur's ability, he worked desperately so as not to embarrass you. For example, if you let him be the commander of the capital's security force, it would have been an unimportant idle job. Sooner or later, we'll have to give up on the Holy City of Beauty. Our group isn't around, so there's nothing good to guard. But Arthur still worked hard and led his brothers well. Each and every one of them called him brother. It's very popular."

After listening to Morton's words, Lei Luo nodded vigorously and said, "I still understand Arthur. He is a real person. Just like you, he is a real brother. Time is pressing at the moment. There are many things that we cannot do according to our own methods. When we have free time in the future, Arthur will still have many uses. At the very least, this sincerity and loyalty of his is something that no one can replace. At the very least, no one is more suitable than him for the position of commander of the guards."

"Sigh, don't look at Arthur's background. He actually doesn't value this. He is different from you and me. He is a person with no ambition at all. His heart was like a string. Our group bumped into each other and caused such a big scene. He felt proud of us and happy for us. He worked hard for us. As for what he could get, he never thought about it. It's not that kind of hypocritical thinking. It's that he truly didn't think about anything."

"Yeah, Arthur...When I'm with him, I feel relaxed," Lei Luo said with a sentimental tone as he clicked his tongue.

"Yeah, although Arthur can't help us with our career, we're still friends. Whether it's you or me, in the end, no matter how big our achievements will be, we are all still ordinary humans. In the end, what do we live for? We're just friends. So, I think, if we're not in a hurry, we should stay until the night after tomorrow. Arthur has wanted to drink with you for a long time."
