An took the risk to come to the ambush site mainly to deal with the possible strong enemies among the invaders who could make the final decision, and to avoid excessive casualties among his own people.
When the city guards accidentally discovered traces of the intruder and pursued them all the way, this insurance measure lost its necessity to a certain extent.
No matter how high the enemy's combat power is, with the tacit cooperation and tacit cooperation between the city guards and Erlan's men, there will be no trouble. Several of the existences that could change the situation of the battle were quickly eliminated after Leonhardt joined the battle.
This was a perfect victory achieved with careful planning and with the help of God-given opportunities.
At the same time, it's another good thing to have Wright's parents on your side. You can never have too many helpers. Especially the information learned from George's mouth can be used as another clue to launch the investigation.
In addition to the expected harvest, there was also an unexpected surprise. An's trip was not in vain.
"It's almost done outside." Leonhardt stood by the window and looked at the messy battlefield. "During the battle, the invaders had no intention of surrendering. Many brothers were seriously injured. If you want to find clues from them, it is estimated that It’s got to take some work.”
Leonhardt turned back to look at An, who happened to be looking at him as well, but did not speak.
Looking at George calmly, Leonhardt chuckled and said: "...Just in time, I'm worried that the easily obtained information may be fraudulent. I'll leave the interrogation task to the experts, and my people will escort the prisoners to Prison.”
He faced George and said, "Colonel George, I plan to go to the sluice to have a look."
"The craftsman lives not far from there. By this time, the soldiers should have brought the people there..." George glanced at Mary, hesitating slightly.
"As a citizen, Lady Mary is not suitable to interfere with official duties. I will arrange for someone to take her to the palace, where Wright is also."
Now, the safest place in the imperial capital is the palace.
Hearing what Leonhart said, George was completely relieved: "Thank you, sir!"
George thought that Leonhardt was going to send Ann, who was standing by, to escort Mary. He was about to say a few words of thanks to Ann, but then Floya walked into the room.
"My lord." Floya knelt down.
Like Leonhart and Ann, she wears a mask.
The difference is that Floya's mask is black and red, with multiple hollows on it, making the overall pattern look like some kind of bird. At this moment, she gave people a different feeling than usual, like a sharp knife that could be unsheathed at any time.
Leonhardt recognized Floya. Although he had never seen the mask on Floya's face, he could easily associate it with Floya's identity as "Night Crow". He looked at George, whose pupils shrank, and he obviously knew the origin of the mask.
George is a member of the Rebain family, and is now considered a middle-to-high-level member of the empire's military system. It is not surprising to know that Night Crow exists.
But, what’s the reason for Floya’s appearance?
Leonhardt felt something.
——Build momentum.
From his position, Leonhardt, who is the captain of the Imperial Guard, undoubtedly stands at the apex of the imperial military system. Even though George has a special status, Lecco set the rules when he established the imperial official system. Two different Their powers cannot interfere with each other, so Rebain's identity cannot bring any benefit to George. He still has to obey Leonhardt's orders honestly.
Emotionally, Leonhart "sent people" to protect Mary's safety and helped George a lot. In the future, he will help him and Mary get together openly.
No matter which aspect, George has no reason not to listen to Leonhardt's arrangements. But for others, even with George's help, it's not enough.
Investigating the damage to the city wall sluice will definitely involve many aspects such as construction and maintenance, and many of the relevant people are either rich or noble. These people may not necessarily be politically influential, but their appeal among the people is unquestionable.
It would be okay if Leonhart was older, but after all, he is only a boy who has just turned fifteen now, and he does not have an impressive resume like Lecco. For these people, the "weight" is still not enough. Although they are not going against the rules, in order to protect their own interests, it is difficult to say that they will not have anything to hide.
Leonhardt is not absolutely confident about this.
However, if it is the executor of the regent, everything is different.
Anyone who plans to live a normal life in the empire will not think of going against the regent's wishes. The consequences of that are more difficult for those people to accept than the loss of profits.
With this level of status, Leonhardt is confident that everyone will cooperate obediently!
As for proof of identity, nothing is more convincing to others than "The night crow obeys its own arrangements."
Floya appears here as Night Crow as a demonstration to George. When George is persuaded, he will understand the importance of it. Leonhardt does not need to say anything later, he will warn those who try to hide it.
But, Brother Wang is traveling with me, is this necessary?
Doubts arose in Leonhardt's mind.
He suppressed the urge to ask Ann directly and thought for himself.
...Brother Wang cannot reveal his identity, so I am the leader on the surface.
Yes, even if Brother Wang can find out the truth without revealing his identity, it will take more time. Now every second counts. Time is the most precious, and the identity of the executor is convenient and fast.
However, during this process, Brother Wang is unable to speak too much and can only give hints...
This is your chance to prove yourself!
Leonhardt was ecstatic in his heart, but maintained a calm tone on the surface, nodded to Floya, and then said to George: "She will be responsible for escorting."
"...I understand!" George solemnly performed the imperial military salute.
Floya came to Lady Marie without saying a word and helped her up.
"Excuse me." Mrs. Mary also recognized Floya. She thought more than George...
The king has been in control of the situation from the beginning, and the villains will have no escape!
Lady Mary moved her steps so that Ann and Leonhardt were in a straight line in front of her, and then bowed deeply.
"Then, let's set off." Leonhardt's words and deeds subconsciously moved closer to the person he respected the most, "Please lead the way, Colonel George."
Under the mask, An looked helpless.
The series of changes in Leonhardt's heart did not deviate from his observation. He estimated that Leonhardt was probably making up some non-existent things in his mind.
Admittedly, keeping Floya around was a hint from him, but it was to get Lady Mary to a safe place after finishing questioning George.
He couldn't predict the situation without knowing that the sluice gate had been destroyed without George's narration, and he couldn't telepathically tell Floya the subsequent arrangements outside of thin air.
For the subsequent investigation, Leonhart was given the status of "the regent's executor". Ann did have this plan, but she had not had time to think about how to implement it. Floya considered this aspect on her own and had nothing to do with him.
It's not his miraculous calculation, but Froya's god-level cooperation!
An was very grateful to Floya for saving him a lot of effort, but Leonhardt couldn't control his thoughts. I am afraid that after experiencing the convenience brought by the identity of the executor and that he can only give hints, Leonhardt will become more convinced of his idea.
...Forget it, I'll explain it later.
Somehow, An suddenly became excited about what Leonhardt would do and to what extent he could do it.
