Chapter 437: Enemy Attack

Zha Mu leaned his body closer to Zacken and asked, “Brother, you were the only one who voted against that meeting. Now it seems that you are the only one who is right. Tell me, what should we do now?”

“Now it seems that we can only escape before Karman’s reinforcements arrive.”

Zacken did not pause and immediately answered.

From his heavy expression, it could be seen that this was a painful decision that had been made after careful consideration.

“Run? We have paid such a huge price and we don’t want anything…Run?”

Zha Mu’s body shrank and his eyes widened.

“Big Brother, do you think there is a better way?”

Zha Mu was momentarily at a loss for words. After a short while, he asked, “Then…can we fight?”

Zacken did not answer but only asked in return. “What do you think?”

There were not many people left in the original squad of the Grizzly Pirates, and the new recruits had yet to return.

Some of the commanders had even been secretly pulled over by Karman under the name of “Ulysses.”

It was obviously unrealistic to rely on these people to fight Karman.

Zha Mu sat on the spot and thought for a while. Then, he sighed helplessly and painfully and said to Zac, “Brother, have you ever thought about it? With the current environment, even if we really decide to leave, we will have to pay a huge price. Our Grizzly Pirates have already been crippled. If we take a second heavy blow, even if we can really escape, how can we continue to survive in the empire?”

Hearing Zha Mu’s words, Zacken had nothing more to say.

Just as the entire meeting room was plunged into sorrow and negativity, Zha Mu’s adjutant suddenly reported from outside the door.

“Leader, there’s an emergency report.”

Zha Mu summoned his adjutant in and asked, “What emergency?”

“Lord Karman secretly sent people to the special prison, Timothy. They were discovered by our people and blocked them. They asked me to ask, what should we do now?”

“Suddenly Timothy?” Zha Mu stood up, looked around, and waved at everyone present.

“Everyone, return to your places and defend your territory. Don’t move without my order. Zacken, come with me to take a look.”

In just two minutes, Zha Mu appeared outside the special prison with Zacken and 500 elite heavy-armor warriors.

When he arrived at the special prison with his troops, he happened to bump into Karman’s deputy, Pandino, who also appeared outside the prison with thousands of heavy armor warriors.

The two armies faced off outside the special prison.

“Why did you bring so many soldiers here for no reason?”

Pandino was a short man. He stood in front of Zha Mu and was just right at his elbow.

People often found him funny and amusing despite his domineering personality.

“Your Excellency’s troops seem to be more than twice as many as mine.”

Zha Mu replied coldly, “I heard that there were people who wanted to rebel, so I brought my troops to suppress them.”

“Preventing Morton from being executed prematurely, is this considered a rebellion?”

“Of course.”

“We agreed that it would be three days later, and there’s still one and a half days left. Why did you suddenly change your mind?”

“This is an order from Lord Karman.”

“I’m a pirate. I don’t have to listen to anyone’s orders.”

If it was in the empire, Pandino would definitely take action immediately.

However, on land, although he had ten times the enemy’s military strength, Pandino was still not that confident.

This was because land warfare was not his forte.

Thus, he forcefully suppressed his temper and changed to an equal tone as he asked, “I don’t understand, Commander Zha Mu, why do you insist on staying for another day and a half?”

“We agreed in advance that we would use Morton to lure Lei Luo back. After dealing with Lei Luo, we’ll deal with Morton.”

“He won’t come back. Even a fool knows that he’s courting death.”

“No, he’ll come back.” Zha Mu looked at Pandino and suddenly revealed a mocking expression.

“Could it be that Lord Karman is actually afraid of someone who doesn’t have a single soldier?”

“Lord Karman is afraid of him?” Pandino raised his head and smiled contemptuously.

“In my opinion, isn’t Commander Zha Mu afraid of his own revenge?”

“That’s right, I’m afraid of him. What’s wrong?”

Zha Mu replied in a clear voice almost immediately. His words nearly choked Pandino to death.

At this moment, Pandino heard a loud alarm sound in the sky. It was an enemy attack.

Pandino immediately contacted the duty officer of the Defense Center and asked in a stern voice, “What’s going on?”

“In the sky above the city, an unidentified flying object suddenly appeared. The defensive barrier has determined that it is an intruder.”

“An unidentified flying object? What is that thing?”

“The object is too small. We can’t identify it at the moment… Ah, it’s an Imperial Knight’s heavy armor.”

“Heavy armor? Where’s its location now?”

As soon as Pandino finished asking, he saw the sky suddenly turn red. A ball of white flame rushed in, and a huge cyclone was flying towards the city.

When he saw the real body of the mysterious white flame, Zacken whispered beside Zha Mu, who was trembling with excitement. “It’s that Imperial Knight’s heavy armor. The direction is Karman’s address.”

The white flame tore through the sky and crashed into the roof of Karman’s house.

With a loud bang, the bottom floor was smashed open and went hundreds of meters underground.

In order to protect his own safety, Karman had secretly recruited Ludwig, a personal guard of the empire’s knights from the fourth province, at an exorbitant price of one million gold coins a year before the mutiny.

Since the mutiny, Karman had had this imperial knight guard at his side 24 hours a day.

The facts proved that this was a smart decision.

When the Imperial Knight flying over from the foreign empire was still tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Holy City of Beauty, Ludwig felt that something was wrong. He immediately carried Karman into his heavy armor at a speed that only someone at his level could achieve.

As soon as he completed this action, the shock brought by the white flames shook the entire Holy City of Beauty.

Apart from Ludwig, Karman had also specially selected 5,000 of the most elite heavy armor warriors in the army to be his personal guards to help him protect his residence.

His salary, equipment, and energy were all the best in the army.

As for the leader of this team of personal guards, it was as small as leading 50 second lieutenants. They were all his former subordinates that he had specially recruited from afar.

They were an absolutely reliable army.

“How is this possible? One second ago, they were tens of thousands of miles away. How did they come over after just one second?”
