Sign In: Becoming A Great Spell Deity Starting From The Magic Academy - Chapter 444

“This afternoon, Karman wanted to make a move on you. I listened to you and stayed at the center of the defense, not daring to leave. Fortunately, the Grizzly Pirates sent people to stop me. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be in this world anymore. Don’t you know that?

“The situation is so chaotic now. What if Casar or Pandino makes a move on you?

“What if something happens to you? How will I answer to Lei Luo in the future?”

Arthur spread out his hands and argued with an innocent expression.

After listening to Arthur’s explanation, Morton hesitated for a moment and sighed.

“I think it’s not a problem for me to lead these 10,000 people to guard the defense center. But in the current situation, you still have to make the decision. At this time, don’t just sigh here, my big businessman…”

Arthur was anxious.

Morton looked at Arthur and walked around in a circle.

“As long as we guard the defense center, all the defense structures of the city will be under our control. We can’t lose this place. Let’s go, we’ll return to the defense center right now.”

“Okay.”

At this point, the two of them brought their men and rushed to the defense center.

“I think the Imperial Knight was Lei Luo.”

On the way, Arthur once again explained his judgment to Morton.

Morton looked at Arthur strangely and asked, “Lei Luo? Why do you actually think so?”

“I don’t know either. I just have this kind of intuition. It’s like a dog smelling bones.”

Arthur couldn’t help but laugh when he said this.

Morton looked at Arthur in a daze. As a businessman.

He had always acted according to logic and reason. He had never believed in intuition.

But for some reason, when he heard Arthur say this, he inexplicably felt that he agreed.

However, no matter what, out of professional habit, Morton felt that he shouldn’t encourage such irrational thoughts.

“It’s meaningless to think about this now. Let’s talk about the current situation.”

The special prison and the Defense Center were both set up in the Holy City of America. The distance between the two was only a few hundred kilometers.

Arthur and Morton had rushed back to the defense center only five minutes after they left the special prison.

During this period of time, Morton basically did not hear any useful information from Arthur.

However, at least, he knew one thing.

That was that Arthur was basically in a blind state. He did not have a rational investigation of the current situation.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the entrance of the defense center, they saw the supervisor on duty quickly walk up to them.

“Commander, vice-captain Zacken of the Grizzly Pirates is waiting for you.”

Arthur turned sideways and looked at Morton.

“See you right away. I’ll go with you,” Morton said without hesitation.

Soon, the two of them saw Zacken waiting anxiously in the meeting room.

“Commander.”

Seeing Arthur and Morton appear at the same time, Zacken instinctively wanted to greet Morton because he knew that Morton should be the one making the decisions now.

However, he thought about it. After all, this was the defense center and Arthur’s territory, so he decided to greet Arthur first.

“Commander is not making the decisions now. If there’s anything, you two can talk.”

As Arthur said this, he sat down on the side and gave Morton the seat next to Zakon.

“Commander Zacken, sit,” Morton said as he sat down.

Although his actions were fast, Morton did not speak quickly. In addition, he had a faint smile on his face.

Unknowingly, Zacken felt a sense of security. He also felt a little relaxed.

“What’s the general situation now?”

After the two of them sat down, Morton asked in a tone that said, “How many people are there in your family?”

“Most of us in the Grizzly Pirates believe that Karman is dead, and the whole situation has fallen into chaos.”

As a former businessman who was used to collecting information from gossip, Morton keenly noticed that the word Karman used was “Believe.” This was a subjective wish and did not represent the truth.

Morton looked at Zacken and said, “Captain Zacken doesn’t seem to agree with this statement?”

“Yes, we don’t have any concrete information to confirm that Karman is dead. Everything is just speculation. No matter how reasonable the speculation seems, no matter how many kinds of facts echo this speculation, speculation is always just speculation. It’s rare to have such a calm mind in such a situation.”

Morton nodded approvingly.

“I completely agree with your way of thinking… Then, I wonder what Captain Zacken wants us to do here?”

“I’m not here under my brother’s orders, but I came here on my own accord.”

First, Zacken made a statement about his identity.

“That’s not important.”

Morton waved his hand, signaling Zacken to continue.

“The Grizzly Pirates are now fully assembled…”

As Zacken spoke, he looked at his watch on the wall.

“In about three hours, we will be assembled and set off for the Holy City of America. The person the commander sent to contact should be back by now. I believe that you will soon find out about my brother’s plan from him. I just finished reading it. Zha Mu expressed that he wants us to coordinate with their actions and attack Pandino and Casa Barracks together with them.”

Arthur glanced at Zacken and then looked at Morton.

When they had just arrived at the Defense Center, the inspector reported Zacken’s visit and handed the report of the liaison to Arthur.

Morton blinked and asked Zacken, “Since you came here without permission, you must not agree with this idea, right?”

“That’s right.” Zacken nodded.

“I came here with two suggestions. First, I hope that you as commander can use your reputation and connections to call on the garrison troops of the Holy City of Beauty that are scattered all over the place to cooperate with our operation. They were all under surveillance, but now they are basically free. It’s just that they don’t have anyone to lead them, so they don’t know what to do. Right now, the entire city’s internal and external communication networks are in the hands of Karman’s people. I’m afraid I can’t contact them.”

Although he knew that it was time for both sides to cooperate, Arthur was still brooding over the betrayal of the Grizzly Pirates. Therefore, when he spoke, he sounded very impolite.

“Uh…”

Zacken understood Arthur’s feelings very well. He glanced at Morton awkwardly, hoping that he would come and rescue him.

However, Morton had disappointed him.

“Yesterday, you said that we were enemies, so you joined them to surround us. Today, you called us your allies, and now you want us to surround them with you…Captain Zacken, aren’t you overestimating our self-cultivation?”
