Chapter 432: Civil Rebellion Erupts

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

Hearing Strachey’s reply, Ulysses couldn’t help but frown. He thought to himself, ‘Why did Teacher agree so quickly today? Isn’t he prejudiced against Lei Luo?’

“Quick, Morton, quickly pack your things.”

On this day, Morton was working in his office when he suddenly saw Arthur rushing in fully armed.

Seeing Arthur in such a hurry, Morton quickly stood up and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“The local security forces have completely rebelled.”

“The local security forces have completely rebelled?” Morton’s heart chilled.

All along, Morton had been most worried about two things. One was that the military power was not directly in Lei Luo’s hands, and the other was that the local security forces would finally take up arms and strike a rebellion.

The security forces were basically formed from the security forces left over from the era of the distant mountain lords, and their composition was basically all local people from the city.

These people all had a deep resentment towards them for being so ruthless.

Morton had always been giving them huge subsidies as a way to win them over. At the same time, he kept buying heavy armor and increasing the number of heavy armor warriors to give them military pressure.

Unexpectedly, in the end, they had rebelled.

“Don’t panic. Tell me first how many people are there, and where are they rebelling?”

“They’re rebelling, all of them. Even in the capital, there are local security forces running around everywhere.”

Morton slammed the table and said anxiously,”Don’t talk nonsense! We have such strict supervision. They have no way to establish a strict organization. How can they all rebel?”

“Morton, this isn’t nonsense. It’s true. Every place is rebelling. Not only the security forces but also many civilians have participated in this rebellion. The most terrifying thing is that each of these people have weapons in their hands. In my face to face with the rebels, I found that they have more than 70 sets of heavy armor in their hands.”

“What? Heavy armor? How could they possibly have heavy armor in their hands?”

Morton was really anxious this time.

“I don’t know either. At this time, who would be able to understand this?”.

“But, Morton, don’t worry. With me here, your safety will not be a problem. But we can’t stay here anymore. This place is too big a target. This is the first place the rebel army wants to attack. You have to quickly hide. As long as we can hold on until Lei Luo comes back, everything will be settled.”

“Good, good, good.”

Morton was a business genius, but he really knew nothing about war.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. He suddenly lost his mind. He could only nod and ask his adjutant to help pack up the things.

“Ask the adjutant to bring the things over later. You go first, Morton. After settling you down, I still have to suppress the rebellion. The only thing left in the capital is the 10,000 heavy armors in my hands.”

Arthur saw that Morton still wanted to wait for the documents to be packed, so he quickly grabbed him and spoke as he pulled the documents out.

It was good that he didn’t say it, but when he said it, he felt goosebumps all over his body. “What did you say? Say it again.”

“I mean...all the ground mobile units have been sent to the various bases to quell the rebellion. Here in the capital, only my garrison troops are left.”

“No, you just said that you only have 10,000 people?”

“Yes.” Arthur nodded. When he saw that Morton’s face was a little pale, he thought that Morton was worried that these troops would not be able to protect his safety.

He hurriedly explained, “Don’t worry, we have always been very strict. The rebel forces are not strong. The 10,000 heavy armor warriors in my hands are enough to deal with them.”

“No! No! No!”

After Morton said “no” three times in a row, he slapped his thigh and said to Arthur, “You don’t understand!”

“Morton, what’s wrong with you?”

“Let me ask you, isn’t there 100,000 people in the garrison? How come there are only 10,000 people? Have the remaining 90,000 people been transferred away?”

“You’re really muddle-headed. Can’t you see that? The rebellion of the security forces is just a catalyst. It’s true that they’re luring the tiger away from the mountain.”

“Morton, you mean...”

Morton shook his head helplessly and paced anxiously in the room.

After a while, his expression returned to normal. He walked back to Arthur and held his hand.

“Arthur, remember what you said just now. You have to hold on until Lei Luo comes back. No matter what happens, you have to hold on until Lei Luo comes back.”

“Sorry, you are under border control.”

When they passed through the civilian port, the border officer stopped Lei Luo and Allie’s passports expressionlessly.

“Transit control? We are not citizens of your city. Unless you can prove that we have committed any illegal or criminal acts during our trip to your city, you have no right to control us according to the law of the senate.”

When he heard that he was being held back by the transit control, Lei Luo’s heart immediately sank, but he still argued with reason.

“Sorry, you are being controlled by the transit control.”

The expression and tone of the border officer did not change.

Allie’s eyes started to look at the port. With her speed, if she charged in, it would only take two seconds at most.

“Don’t move.”

Lei Luo saw Allie’s eyes and knew what she was trying to do. He immediately reached out and patted her on the shoulder.

When Allie’s attention was shifted to him, he quietly motioned for Allie to look at the lower left corner.

When Allie looked in the direction that Lei Luo motioned, she saw that there were nearly a hundred bright spots hidden there.

As a top-notch warrior, Allie could tell at a glance that those were heavy armor’s laser lamps.

“I request to meet the harbor commander. I want to protest against him.”

As Lei Luo spoke, he pulled Allie and was about to walk towards the person in charge of the port.

The reason why Lei Luo did this was because he was thinking in his heart, ‘If he is holding the chief commander of the port hostage, then there might be a chance.’

However, at this moment, a group of soldiers dressed in black military uniforms walked in from the hall.

“Princess Allie, Sir Lei Luo, the alliance Leader invites the two of you.”

“We have an urgent matter at the moment and need to make a trip back to the Holy City of Beauty. Please tell the Alliance leader of Saxton that we will pay him a visit three days later,” Lei Luo said.

“I’m sorry, our alliance leader doesn’t have the habit of following other people’s schedules. Please, the two of you.”

The soldier’s right hand moved, and the soldier behind him immediately made a path for them.

Under such circumstances, Lei Luo could not help but think of an idiom—walking right into a trap.

Saxton was very tall. He was unexpectedly tall. Even if he was sitting on the ground, he was actually slightly taller than Lei Luo, who was already standing.

When he stood up, he looked more like a huge tower. From afar, he looked extremely imposing.
