Chapter 434: Puppet

Lei Luo smiled as he walked over. He put his hands on Allie’s shoulders and said, “Stay here for a few more days. I’ll go back and settle things. I’ll come find you when I’m back.”

“Do you think I’m a three-year-old child?”

Allie smiled along, but it was a sad smile.

Lei Luo knew that Allie knew as much as he did. There was no point in hiding it anymore.

So, he first looked at Allie quietly, then he reached out and held Allie tightly in his arms.

“One of us has to survive. Don’t let me lose too much,” Lei Luo whispered in Allie’s ear.

“I watched my family die in front of my eyes, but I couldn’t do anything. Two times is enough for such pain. I don’t want a third time.”

“Lei Luo, the most important thing in life is not life and death… Please, take me away.”

Lei Luo turned his head. Their faces were less than a centimeter apart, almost touching each other.

Lei Luo looked at Allie as if he was staring at the distant history.

In the deepest part of Lei Luo’s heart, in the space that was originally filled with endless darkness, a few faces had suddenly appeared.

One of them was Allie’s begging face.

Lei Luo suddenly smiled. At this moment, his smile was like a blooming peony, domineering and brilliant.

This was definitely not a fake smile at all. It was Lei Luo’s first smile that came from the bottom of his heart.

The initial disappointment and pain, at this moment, had unexpectedly been replaced by an unprecedented fulfillment.

At this moment, there was nothing more to say.

Lei Luo held Allie’s hand and the two of them left side by side.

One of Saxton’s trusted aides said to Saxton, “Alliance leader, you’re courting death.”

“Everyone will die,” Saxton said calmly. “If I were two hundred years younger, I might have gone with them.”

Saxton turned around and went back to his room. “I need to rest today. I won’t see any guests.”

“Ulysses.” The beautiful sunlight shone on Ulysses’ study.

However, Ulysses couldn’t feel the warmth it brought.

He had been trying to read all morning, but he couldn’t read a single word.

He had been waiting for Strachey for two whole hours.

Strachey finally appeared. He stood outside the door and asked respectfully, “Your Highness, you were looking for me?”

“How is the situation in the third province?”

This was the first time that Ulysses had not called out for Strachey before they started talking. This was also the first time that Ulysses had not asked him to enter the door and sit down. Instead, he had asked him to stand outside the door and answer.

“The third province…”

Just as Strachey was about to speak, he saw that Ulysses’ eyes were filled with a cold light. He knew that it was impossible to hide the matter anymore.

“The situation is great.”

“Great? What do you mean?” Ulysses asked.

“Our people have already seized the Holy City of Beauty. At the same time, we have also reached an agreement with the Persephone Economic Cooperation. We will continue to carry out Lei Luo’s plan. We will help them obtain the Great Wall of Iron Blood. In exchange, they will hand over the Cape of Good Hope’to us. At the same time, I am also contacting the remaining suzerains of the East God to prepare to reunite them. I believe that within a month, we will be able to rebuild the East God Alliance. Although we still have the name of ‘East God,’ in reality, this alliance is completely in our hands. We promised the alliance that once the alliance was formed, we would sign a long-term alliance with them. Not only would we help them destroy the Phoenix Alliance, but we would also help them fight against the Dark Dragon Alliance and Doomsday. I estimated that all of this would take less than a year. After a year, we would have a military force that could not be underestimated in the third province. The main backbone of this military force will be sent out from us. Therefore, this will be an army that will be completely under our control. With this army, the gap in military strength between us and Morse will be greatly reduced.”

Ulysses was not moved by Strachey’s blueprint in the slightest. He asked coldly, “Who will be the commander of this army?”

“In this matter, Karman played a great role, so ⁠—”

Before Strachey could finish his words, Ulysses continued, “So, the commander of this army naturally doesn’t take me seriously, nor does he take my father seriously. He only takes you seriously.”

Hearing Ulysses’ words, Strachey immediately fell to his knees with a plop.

“Your Highness, I am loyal.”

“All right, Teacher, I believe in you. You just need to order Karman to give up the rebellion and return to Lei Luo’s command. Then you are still my good teacher and I am still your good student. Please rest assured that if I can successfully ascend to the throne, I will avenge your family. I will avenge you even if I have to shed every drop of blood in the shogunate of King Beichen.”

“Your Highness, I know that you and Lei Luo appreciate each other very much, but this is politics. You can’t just do whatever you want.”

Strachey kneeled on the ground and tried to persuade him.

Ulysses turned around and stared at Strachey, who was kneeling on the ground, and answered sternly. “Teacher, don’t say anything. I only want to ask you one thing. I want you to immediately give the order for Karman to surrender to Lei Luo. Will you cooperate?”

“Your Highness, the Holy City of Beauty isn’t completely under Karman’s control. If—”

“Don’t say anything. I only ask you if you are willing to give the order?”

Ulysses seemed to be burning with anxiety. He stood up abruptly and pointed at Strachey. He was gnashing his teeth as he spoke.

“Your Highness, please don’t be moved by your own emotions…”

As Strachey spoke, he kowtowed with all his might.

Ulysses sneered and didn’t say anything else. He walked straight out of the door. When he reached Strachey’s side, Ulysses mocked himself, “Puppet.”

After saying that, Ulysses left angrily.

When Ulysses was far away, Strachey slowly stood up from the ground.

On the route to the Holy City of Beauty, there was a passenger ship modified from a light carrier.

There were only a man and a woman on the passenger ship. They were Lei Luo and Ellie.

Lie Luo occasionally looked lazy, but his back was always straight.

At this time, he was still standing on the bridge.

He crossed his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on the endless darkness, his gaze moving little by little.

One by one, he looked into the eyes of the stars that dotted the darkness.
