"This thing is interesting."

Lei Luo saw another mecha blueprint on the magic data. No one had tried the mecha on this blueprint before, or rather, no one had tried it before, because the practicality of this mecha had been doubted by the Council of Elders.

The shield-type mecha was created by the famous mecha designer, Luo Fei, and was completely used for defense. The characteristics of this mecha were that it held a huge shield, and the shield had the ability to absorb the mana released by the warship. It also had magic arrays that could mitigate the impact of mana, explosions, and other effects on defense, but it did not have the ability to attack at all.

Furthermore, it was extremely cumbersome. In the current war system, it was an anomaly. Because no one wanted to be a moving target, no one was willing to create this type of mecha, although this mecha could withstand three full-power shots from the main battleship, no one wanted to use such an expensive mecha just to block the shots from the battleship.

Everyone called it the dung beetle on the crown of Luo Fei's design. However, it might not be the case in Lei Luo's hands. He had the main fleet of the Dragon God Armor, but if the battle loss ratio was too high, it would cause great trouble to his own fleet, and he couldn't use the fleet of the Dragon God armor as a suicide squad, right?

Lei Luo knew that this would only make his people fight less and less. This was not what Lei Luo wanted to see.

Many of the magic materials that Ulysses had given him were the empire's main battleships, the blueprints for the mecha and the detailed manufacturing process. If he wanted to develop them all, their combat strength would be comparable to the empire's first-rate fleet. What Lei Luo lacked now was time, so he could not use the usual development route.

He sent the blueprints that he had set his eyes on to Katz, telling him to work overtime to hurry up. His own fleet was here, while Allie was helping him train the mecha forces and a portion of the pirates at the Cape of Good Hope.

He focused on training the pirates and magic guides separately, as well as rationally planning this 300 million fund. If things went smoothly, he would launch an attack on the Great Wall of Iron Blood in 20 days. The Great Wall of Iron Blood had four lord-class fleets.

He needed to build six fleets in a short period of time that had the ability to destroy four lord-class fleets. Lei Luo was stuck in a rut, but he still had a way.

He then thought of equipping the weak points of the Dragon God Armor with a position that could supply the shield-type mecha so that the Dragon God Armor would not be wiped out quickly. Lei Luo knew that his fleets had just been built, and he could only use quantity to defeat quality.

In addition to Kronin's cooperation from the inside, he still had a very good chance of occupying the crucial point of the Great Wall of Iron Blood.

At this time, someone knocked on the door. Lei Luo thought for a moment. He should have finished dealing with the matters of the fleet. was there anything else that he had overlooked?

"Please come in."

Lei Luo sat up from the bed and tidied up his appearance.

A young man wearing Lei Luo's commander-in-chief medal pushed the door open and walked in with a slovenly young man with squinty eyes. One could tell that this young man was handsome, but this image was really not interesting. His hands kept rubbing as he sized up Lei Luo.

"This is?"

Lei Luo smiled as he looked at the young man wearing the commander-in-chief medal. Lei Luo's attitude towards his own people was very relaxed. He did not want to give his subordinates a stereotypical impression.

"This is Mr. Charlotte. He was recommended by Morton. He came here after receiving Mr. Morton's orders."

Lei Luo was a little surprised. He remembered that Morton had told him about this person. He seemed to be a very secretive person, but he still needed to talk about the specifics.

"All right, you can go out now. Let me have a good talk with this Mr. Charlotte."

Then, he brought Charlotte to sit down on the stool next to him. It could be seen that this person did not care about working with Lei Luo at all. Moreover, his sitting posture was very lazy. He did not look like a person who was proficient in the military. He looked a bit more like a ruffian.

"Hello, Mr. Charlotte. I believe you've heard of me from Morton."

Lei Luo knew that it was useless to beat around the bush when talking to such a person. It was better to get straight to the point.

"I hope that you can be the commander of the first legion under my command."

Charlotte might not have been able to react in time. He asked in a relaxed tone, "Why should I join you, Lord Shadow Military Advisor? I heard that the mutiny in the Holy City of Beauty has completely destroyed your fleet, right?"

Lei Luo crossed his hands. He knew that the reason why Charlotte had such a lazy attitude was definitely because he had a request, and it was a huge one.

"The mutiny in the Holy City of Beauty has indeed dealt a huge blow to me, but it has also told me that you can't judge a book by its cover, so I won't deliberately look into your past."

"I don't know what you're thinking, but I know that you definitely don't have the same desires as you appear on the surface. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to see me. Let's talk openly. It's true that I need an excellent commander like you right now, but you also need me, right?"

Charlotte raised her eyebrows and pretended to be relaxed.

"Maybe. I can join you, but at some point in the future, I need you to make me a promise."

Lei Luo felt a headache coming on. These people all had their own goals, but the current situation did not allow him to think too much about it. This promise could be big or small, which made him very troubled.

If one day he wanted all of his achievements, should he still hand them over to him?

Charlotte seemed to see through Lei Luo's concerns and said to him, "Don't worry, I won't say anything about borrowing your wife to play with. After all, women are all cute creatures. This promise won't violate morality, nor will it harm your interests. It depends on your choice."

As he thought, he stirred the tea in his cup and said to Charlotte, "Can you promise that you'll only be loyal to me?"

Charlotte said in a deep voice, "Of course, as long as our conditions are met."

Lei Luo looked into Charlotte's eyes, wanting to know what he was thinking, but there was only cynicism and a glimmer of fire in Charlotte's eyes.

Lei Luo knew that he was going to agree to it, so he did not think about it anymore. He sat down on his chair, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said, "All right, I promise you. As long as it doesn't involve my bottom line, I'll agree to it."

Charlotte bowed deeply to Lei Luo and walked out of the room. A voice sounded off.

Charlotte waved her hand and said, "Don't you need to sign an agreement?"

"There's no need. As long as we know about this agreement, it's fine."

After hearing this, Charlotte turned around and glanced at Lei Luo. He realized that Lei Luo was not looking at him at all. Instead, he was looking at the scenery outside. It was as if he was attracted by the starry sky outside.

He turned around and walked out of the room. The flames in his eyes seemed to have risen and were burning fiercely.
