Chapter 391: Plan

Morton patted the bricks of the house.

“Although this place is simple and crude, no matter what, the basic operation is still normal. This means that even though Allie was taken away, the ‘bad guy’ is not completely abandoned and is still in operation...Casa should also know about your plan, right?”

“Yes.” Lei Luo nodded.

“In terms of character, Arthur is more reliable, but he is too practical and has no talent. He can’t control the situation at all, so he can only rope Casa in.”

“Why didn’t you tell me this on the way back?” Morton asked in a resentful tone. “If you had told me so early, you wouldn’t have thought so much.”

Lei Luo looked at Morton. “To be honest, I quite like that you don’t think and do things for the money. It’s good for you.”

“All right, let’s talk about something more practical, such as the next plan...”

Morton pouted without being curious.

“It’s very simple. Our next goal is to leave the ‘bad guy’ within a month and get our own place.”

After that, Lei Luo marked a city less than 150 miles away from the ‘bad guy’ on the map.

“The target is here. Its owner has named it ‘the blessed. ‘After a month, its name will be changed to ‘Journey.’”

After carefully checking the official information about this empire, Morton shook his head.

“The defense level of this planet is almost fortress-level. This means that, according to conventional battle tactics, even a lord-level main fleet might not be able to take it down. And now, we...”

As Morton said this, he suddenly frowned and turned to look at Lei Luo.

“Don’t tell me you want the pirates to help us fight this battle?”

Lei Luo’s eyes widened, and he acted as if it was something that was implicitly agreed on.

“Why not? Allie is still a great beauty. After being kidnapped by them for so many days, shouldn’t they make some blood?”

“Since you’ve made up your mind, don’t keep us guessing. Tell us the specific plan quickly.”

After a while, when Lei Luo told Morton everything about his plan in detail, Morton couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.

“Lei Luo, isn’t it a little too dangerous for you to do this? If we follow the normal path, no matter how fast we are, it will take three to five years for us to gather enough strength to deal with the chaotic world.”

“Let’s not talk about three to five years now. It might not even take three to five months. Using the right path won’t work at all.”

“Then we can only use a strange strategy. Do you think I’m happy about it? My plan will be found out by Allie sooner or later. When that violent woman finds out that I intentionally let her be captured, God knows what she will do.”

Morton thought for a while after hearing what Lei Luo said. It seemed that this was indeed the only way.

Moreover, if Lei Luo’s plan was successful, his talent as a businessman would also be able to expand. Therefore, he finally nodded.

“All right. Let’s do it!”

Lei Luo and Morton were in the carriage. After discussing about 60-70% of the key details that needed special attention, the carriage had already arrived at another hidden house.

This was the new village that was being built.

Because of Casa’s dispatch and the money Lei Luo had secretly transferred, the hundreds of people who came with them appeared very calm. Their faces showed as if they didn’t care if the sky was falling for as long as they were paid on time.

Lei Luo pulled Casa to the side and quietly asked, “How many people died when the pirates came to steal Allie?”

“Not a single one died,” Casa said indifferently. When Lei Luo heard this, he became anxious.

“What? Who told you to arrange it like this? You should at least beat them up and kill a few people. Otherwise, wouldn’t Allie be suspicious? Are you trying to get me killed?”

“By the gods of heaven and earth, this was not arranged by me. The pirates rushed up with 6,000 people at once. I didn’t give the order at all, and everyone gave up resisting on their own accord.”

Lei Luo looked around. These people were either Casa’s old subordinates or the disgruntled ones who had been sent there. None of them were willing to be there.

None of them were loyal to Allie or anyone in the leadership. Such an army was facing enemies that were ten times more powerful than them.

Giving up on resisting was also a matter of course.

“All right, then we’ll continue with the plan. I’ll give you half a month. Go to the nearby planets to recruit soldiers. Recruit 30,000 people first. These people must all appear at the ‘bad guys’ within half a month.”

“30,000 people? Although the territory is big enough to house more than 100,000 people in theory, there aren’t all kinds of things here. There’s not even a barracks. How can 30,000 people live here?”

Lei Luo rolled his eyes, revealing the whites of his eyes.

“This is not my problem.”

Casa frowned and thought for a while.

“All right, I will think of a way, but I need money.”

“You have money. I will give you 1 million, 600,000 for recruitment, and 400,000 for construction.”

“1 million?” Casa’s eyes widened.

“Is that enough? We just started building an army, and we still have to defend against pirates. We must have started from small boats, and each boat only has about 300 to 400 people. 30,000 people, that is 100 boats.”

“This means that we need 100 commanders. Just the cost of these commanders is far more than a million.”

“These 600,000 people just need to recruit soldiers. As for commanders, there’s no need to recruit them.”

“Not recruiting commanders? Then who will be the commander of this ship?”

“I naturally have a way, you don’t have to care...”

“Why do you always say ‘I naturally have a way’? Do you really have a plan?”

Looking at Casa’s doubtful eyes, Lei Luo chuckled.

“Don’t you think it’s too late for you to doubt me now?”

Hearing what Lei Luo said, Casa could only swallow all the words in his stomach.

He shook his head helplessly and went to do his business.

“You’re planning to direct all the ships by yourself, right?”

After Casa turned around and left, Morton, who had been standing not far away, walked up.

“The senate has controlled the entire empire for almost 400 years. After the senate took power, the first thing they did was to establish the empire’s military academy and take over the right to train military commanders. Apart from a very small number of private education, more than 99% of the military commanders in the entire empire are from the empire’s Military Academy. Today, 400 years later, the total number of military commanders trained by the senate has already accounted for 80% of the military commanders in the empire. This is a group of military officers who are loyal to the so-called military ethics instilled by the Senate and are even more loyal to their employers.”
