Chapter 449: Frame
“I’ll listen to you. Let’s go.”
In the end, Zacken lowered his head apologetically.
When the carriage flew to the empire and Zacken saw the fleet gathered outside the city, ready to attack at any time, he already knew what he was going to face.
However, now, when he really had to face all of this, he realized that even after experiencing such intense emotions, he was still unable to calmly accept all of this.
“If you want to cry, then cry out loud. Every tear today will be returned with a boat of blood in the future.”
Zacken slowly turned his head and saw that Morton’s expression had never been as cold as today, and his voice had never been as desolate as today.
“The past,” a city that was almost the same distance from the Holy City of America and the Cape of Good Hope.
On the way to the hotel, the two of them passed by a flower market. Lei Luo saw that Allie was looking at a potted plant, so he asked, “What are you looking at?”
“Chang Di,” Allie answered.
“Is this a tree or a flower? It looks so ugly,” Lei Luo said disapprovingly.
“This is men’s flower.”
It was rare for there to be something that Lei Luo did not understand, so Allie showed off.
“Nonsense, what flowers do men need?”
Lei Luo spoke in a reprimanding tone.
Allie pouted and said, “Oh, then let’s go.”
Lei Luo took a few steps ahead of her and stopped. He turned around and said to Allie, “Buy a pot.”
“Why? Didn’t you say that men don’t need flowers?” Allie said curiously.
“Arthur is a bit sissy. Maybe he likes it,” Lei Luo replied.
A heavy battleship docked at Port No. 1 of the Holy City of Beauty. A long landing ladder slowly extended from the heavy battleship to the alloy floor.
Karman, who was wearing a sky-blue Lord’s suit, slowly walked down from the spaceship.
Behind him, the officers who followed him down were the officers who had completed the mass slaughter together with him.
No one had a smile on their face, including Karman.
They used laser cannons to bombard the heavy armor warriors who had no air defense ability.
For the ancient countries in the ancient era, they might boast about the zero-casualty war, but for the current imperial officers, it was not a glorious deed.
Karman ordered the light magicians to shine on the main battlefields to clean up the aftermath.
As the last authority of the Holy City of Beauty, Karman’s order was quickly carried out.
The setting sun spread its warmth over the sleeping people and the remains of the heavy armor. It was like a group of mothers stroking their children with their hands and patting their foreheads.
The gentle breeze that was deliberately created seemed to be the requiem of all the dead.
A moment ago, the boiling wilderness suddenly became like a windless lake. The world seemed so harmonious and peaceful.
In the entire wilderness, only the imperial flying car that Karman was in said to be floating in the air alone, as if it was the only mourner.
At this time, Karman was sitting with his two main assistants, Casa and Pandino, as well as Ludwig, who had been guarding him twenty-four hours a day since the mutiny.
Although they were both officers of the regular empire, no matter what, both of them were the direct beneficiaries of this incident.
Therefore, although the two of them did not feel proud of the matter in front of them, deep in their hearts, they were still deeply grateful for this success.
It was precisely because of this that when they saw Karman leaning against the window and closing his eyes tightly, both of them were very puzzled.
Casa looked at Pandino with some confusion and asked in a low voice, “Could it be that the lord is really this sad for these dead pirates?”
Although Pandino had followed Karman for many years, it was really not easy for Pandino to answer this question.
Karman had a very high opinion of himself. He never had any deep conversations even with his closest subordinates.
Hence, no one really understood his values.
Casa saw that Pandino could not answer him. He turned around to look at Karman and saw that he even had a pained expression on his face.
After hesitating for a while, Casa reached out to touch Karman, wanting to comfort him.
When he touched Karman, Casa was surprised to find that Karman’s body was trembling slightly.
Casa finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and asked, “Lord, what’s wrong with you? If they don’t die today, we will be the ones to die. You’re not that kind, are you?”
“Do you think I’m sad for these dead pirates?”
At this moment, Karman finally opened his eyes.
“If not for them, then lord, you…”
Casa was even more puzzled.
“All of us have been framed by that old bastard, Strachey,” Karman said through gritted teeth.
Seeing Karman’s hateful expression, Pandino saw that something was wrong, so he quickly came forward.
“Ah? Lord Karman, what exactly is going on…”
“Do you see it?”
Karman pointed outside the imperial shuttle. The ground was littered with corpses, and he smiled miserably.
“It would be fortunate if we could have such a happy ending in the future.”
“Lord, what did you say…”
Casa didn’t know why Karman would say that, but he knew that Karman wouldn’t say that for no reason. For the first time in a long while, he felt afraid.
“Do you know who launched the attack on us this afternoon?”
Karman looked at Casa and Pandino’s eyes, which were already full of red blood.
Casa and Pandino were so scared by Karman’s strange behavior that their mouths were wide open, unable to say a word.
“It’s…Lei Luo,” Karman said word by word.
“Lord, when did you know about this?”
As Pandino spoke, he could not help but clench his fists.
“At the moment we fired the cannon…Strachey told me through the news.”
Casa subconsciously reached out to touch his throat, because his throat suddenly felt dry.
“Lei Luo is only in his teens, yet he has such accomplishments today. This can’t be out of thin air. His performance in many aspects is too outstanding. Without a strong mentor or a strong teacher group behind him to support him, this is impossible. Before thoroughly understanding Lei Luo’s background and whether he has a strong force behind him to support him, Strachey would not have dared to act rashly.”
