Allie looked at Lei Luo.
“Oh right, it’s precisely because he’s a mercenary pirate that he’s willing to cooperate with us.”
?
“However, it’s not enough for them to make a move on this matter. I’m afraid the princess will have to make a move herself.”
“I’ll make a move? How?”
“Princess, don’t be anxious. Listen to me explain the entire plan...”
About half an hour later, Lei Luo had already explained the whole plan in detail.
After listening to the whole plan, Allie asked doubtfully, “According to what you said, this territory belongs to the lord of the distant mountains of the Commonwealth Economic Union. If we just take his territory, will he not retaliate?”
“Hahaha.”
Lei Luo raised his head and laughed for a while.
“What’s there to worry about? It’s not convenient for His Highness to directly take over his territory, but as long as you take over his territory, wouldn’t it be easy for his highness to force him to admit the fact?”
“Will Ulysses really listen to us?”
This question swirled in Allie’s mind, but she was not a fool, so she could not really say it out loud.
She just nodded and said, “All right, then I’ll do as you say. I hope you didn’t lie to me this time, otherwise...”
As Allie spoke, she reached out and gently patted Lei Luo’s armor a few times.
A loud “bang bang” was heard, and Zha Mu and Morton were so shocked that their ears were plugged.
As for Lei Luo who was inside the armor, that was obvious.
After Lei Luo finished talking to Allie, Zha Mu let her go.
Accompanied by Morton, they returned to the “Bad guy.”
Lei Luo continued to stay on the mother nest of the pirates and arranged the execution of the entire plan with them.
When Allie returned to the “bad guy,” she saw that the “bad guy” was already filled with almost 20,000 people, all of whom were found by Casa.
The originally lifeless “bad guy” suddenly became a little angry because of the arrival of these 20,000 people.
These people were all civilians, so they all came after receiving the contract payment.
When they arrived at the “bad guy,” they didn’t dislike it.
Everyone took the materials Casa and the others bought and started to build their own simple military camp.
First, they saw hundreds of ships at the port, and then they saw more than 20,000 people here. Allie was both happy and doubtful.
Allie reached out her hand and pointed at the busy crowd. She looked at Morton and asked, “These people, are they...”
Morton put his hands behind his back and straightened his big belly as he said proudly, “These people and these ships, they are all the results of the business trip that Lei Luo and I took.”
“Where did you get so many people and so many boats?”
“These people and boats are all sponsored by the senate.”
“Huh... ?”
Morton chuckled and told her everything that they had done in the past few months.
After hearing that, Allie was stunned.
“I knew that kid had a plan, but I didn’t expect it to be so big.”
When Allie said that, she clicked her tongue.
She turned her head and looked at Morton:
“You said that you’ve been together with him for the past few months. Do you think he’s reliable?”
Allie shook her head after asking that.
“Stupid question. You’ve been together with him for so long, and we’ve only been together for a few days. You should be closer to him than I am.”
Morton smiled and said, “Princess Ali, there’s something I have to tell you. There’s a good saying in the ancient times: if you suspect someone, don’t use them. If you use them, don’t suspect them. Whether it’s me or Lei Luo, neither of us wanted to come. It was you who forcefully dragged us here. If you suspect us now, then we won’t be able to help you in the future.”
Allie quickly waved her hand.
“You’re thinking wrongly. I don’t have any intention of suspecting you. It’s just that Lei Luo’s way of doing things is too excessive. It makes me feel a chill down my spine.”
“If he’s not such a person, how can he help you? As long as he’s on your side, what are you worried about?”
“All right then!” Allie pursed her lips and thought for a while.
“Who cares? I have nothing to be deceived anyway. Just follow his path as long as he doesn’t get me killed.”
“Don’t worry. Although Lei Luo seems to be boundless, he still has a bottom line in his heart.”
“At the very least, I can guarantee that he won’t harm you.”
“Won’t harm me? Hmph...”
Allie snorted coldly.
“Won’t harm me? He even intentionally let me be captured by the pirates?”
“Hmm? What do you mean by that? As for...”
“All right, stop hiding it. I’m not as smart as you, but I’m not that stupid. Everything that happened today was planned by that fellow Lei Luo, including me being captured by the pirates.”
It would be ugly if he continued to explain.
Hence, Morton could only chuckle.
“This matter...How should I put it? Lei Luo is 100% sure that the pirates won’t do anything to you, so...”
“I don’t want to hear it.”
Allie turned her face away. “In short, I’ll remember all the good things you two did this time. I’ll return it to you sooner or later.”
Morton smiled bitterly and started to be ungrateful.
“I didn’t know about this beforehand. He only told me about it on the way back.”
“I don’t understand. If you’re someone, why are you so easily manipulated by Lei Luo when you get together with him?”
Allie looked at Morton with dissatisfaction.
When Allie had invited both of them, she had more or less intended for them to restrain each other.
Unexpectedly, not only did they not restrain each other, but they had become colluding with each other instead.
In Morton’s eyes, Allie’s little scheming was just the standard of a child playing house.
So he did not take it to heart. He just smiled and said, “Wait for a little longer, and you’ll understand.”
Allie was not a brilliant politician to begin with, and she had never really thought about the checks and balances of power.
Therefore, when she saw that Morton and Lei Luo were clearly on the same page, she could not be bothered to think about it anymore.
“All right, as long as you can help me revive East God, you can do whatever you want.”
“Tell me, what do you want me to do now?”
“There are a total of 60,000 people in the city. It’s not easy to manage such a territory. Even maintaining the security of such a large territory is not easy. More importantly, we need a large number of soldiers to help us complete the occupation of this territory, and this is East God’s forte.”
“You want me to recruit the old troops of the East God?”
“Isn’t that what you want to do?”
