Chapter 416 - The Cape Of Good Hope

As soon as Karman finished speaking, Lei Luo almost immediately followed up with a dilemma. "Then create unexpected victories again and again. But what if there is a setback in the middle? Then it will immediately be a situation beyond control. Gathering like a gale, defeat like loose sand. From the ancient era of the empire to the era of Emperor Victor's struggle for hegemony, are there still many cases like this?"

"Then we will resolve the setback."

Lei Luo sat down. He was sitting in a chair, but his back was straight and did not touch the back at all.

His left hand was naturally placed on his left leg, and his right arm was quietly placed on the command platform.

The light on the command platform leaked through the five fingers he placed on the command platform, forming a spa.r.s.e shadow under his palm.

"If the sea blocks us, then fill the sea. If the mountains block us, then push them down. If the stars block us, then destroy the stars; if the Heavens Block us, then go against the heavens. "The reason why a human can become a human is not that he can stand up and walk, but because he has a stronger will than any beast. If a human loses his strong will, then he is no longer worthy of being called a human, and he has become a mere animal."

When Lei Luo said these words, his expression was exceptionally calm, and his tone was also gentle. However, this did not make Karman feel at ease, but instead, it made him feel even more creeped out.

This made him believe even more that the words of this young man in front of him did not come out of a moment of hot-bloodedness and arrogance, but came from the bottom of his heart, from the depths of his heart.

"You...really think you can defeat Fate?"

Karman himself did not know what was going on. The young man in front of him clearly had a gentle and rational appearance.

However, he had a strong sense of unease, so much so that when he spoke, he would unconsciously appear much more cautious.

It was as if he said one wrong word, Lei Luo would rush up and tear him into pieces.

"Fate?" A contemptuous smile appeared on Lei Luo's face.

"If I surrender to fate, I will be dead when I was born. The fact that I am able to live so healthily is in itself a mockery of fate."

As Lei Luo said this, he paused for a moment and then said a sentence in a calm but firm tone to summarize everything that was said above.

"If I really want to talk about fate, then from the moment I was born, I was destined to defy the heavens. I rarely admire people in my life, especially young people like you. But I have to say, I sincerely admire your perseverance and courage."

Karman took a deep breath and shook his head with some regret.

"If you are given enough time to temper yourself, I believe that your future is limitless. But if you insist on taking such a risk, frankly, I feel very regretful. You won't succeed. If you want to stand firm in this cruel world, courage is far from enough."

"In your eyes, I'm just a conceited and paranoid youth, right?"

Lei Luo finally turned his face to face Karlman.

"You have amazing potential. In time, in the entire world, the number of people who are qualified to be your opponent can be counted on one hand. But for now..."

Karman hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Yes."

Lei Luo did not defend himself. He only took out a magic crystal from his pocket and pulled out the map. Then, he pointed at one of the provinces and said, "Do you know where this is?"

Karman only glanced at a few numbers of this star field before quickly answering, "Satan's Wings, one of the three great bases of the Empire's pirates."

Lei Luo nodded and pointed at a city on the edge of Satan's Wings on the map. He asked, "Do you know what city this is?"

"Cape of Good Hope. It is the only city owned by the Lord of the Broken City of the Commonwealth Economic Union. It has a population of 1.9 million. It is one of the most prosperous cities in the third province and has a complete s.h.i.+p production chain. In terms of military, the broken city lord has defined the main direction of development as a commercial city. Hence, the military strength of this city is not exactly top-notch. However, in terms of commercial cities, it can be considered extremely powerful."

The Cape of Good Hope has four lord-tier defensive fleets, and its defensive structures are quite solid

The Cape of Good Hope was originally an ordinary mineral city, but it was later acquired by the Sky-breaking Pirate Gang.

After the Sky-breaking Pirate Gang acquired this city, they turned into a trading group, specializing in selling stolen goods for the wings of Satan Pirates...and the Cape of Good Hope gradually flourished.

A hundred years ago, the leader of the sky-breaking Pirate Gang, Pocheng, bought the t.i.tle of Lord from the senate and successfully turned the Cape of Good Hope that he owned into his own legal city.

The Sky-breaking Pirate Gang was not a very powerful pirate gang in the first place. and the most outstanding talent of the leader, Pocheng, was also in business, not military.

Therefore, in order to obtain protection, Po Cheng Lord joined the newly rising Anglo-immortal Economic Union.

With the secret support of the Anglo-immortal Economic Union, the Cape of Good Hope was doing a lot of pirate business, and now it had become the center for the Pirates of Wings of Satan to sell stolen goods.

The Cape of Good Hope flourished rapidly because of the large-scale pirate trade. At the same time, it also became a refuge for many down-and-out pirates.

Satan's Wings had an unwritten rule. As long as anyone escaped to the Cape of Good Hope, no matter how great the enmity was, it could only end there, unless that person left the Cape of Good Hope. According to the statistics, out of the 1.9 million people in the Cape of Good Hope, there were more than 200,000 people who were related to the pirate profession

"Normally, as a legitimate lord, it is unlikely that he would be accepted with such deep connections to the pirates. However, because the lord pays a large amount of bribes to the senate and the Union of Immortal Economic Cooperation every year, his gray business methods and the black-and-white ident.i.ty of the Cape of Good Hope are also accepted."

When Karman talked about the Cape of Good Hope, he was like a storekeeper who was reporting the inventory in his warehouse as if it was a treasure.

This was enough to prove that in Karman's mind, he had detailed information about all the key cities in the empire. The knowledge he had about this matter was acquired through years of experience.

In this regard, even Lei Luo was inferior.
