Chapter XXII: Supreme Commander

The carriage gradually moved away from the city of Raphael, and when Ophelia and Lea were no longer visible, Leon entered the carriage.

Leon sat down in the carriage, and in a few moments gray smoke slowly rose from behind him.

Vetelle was frightened, but didn't dare to say anything.

The black smoke gradually converged in front of Leon, and finally a human form appeared.

"Why did you come out from behind me?" asked Leon, looking at Xuedia.

"What can I do! You sit in the carriage like this, and the shadow can only stick to the wall of the carriage behind you!"

"Your name is Miss Xuedia, right?" asked Vetlielle tentatively when she saw Xuedia.

"Hmm. ”

"That's how you showed up that day, right? No wonder Sister Liya would treat you as an enemy. Wittelle was overjoyed that she finally knew how Chercia had appeared that day.

"Liya, oh, it's the little girl who did it directly that day. Xuedia found a place in the carriage and sat down.

Wittrell laughed dryly, thinking, "I can't see her face, but in terms of figure, it's not much older than them, right?"

But she didn't mean it badly. Sister Lea is just worried about Lord Leon, and Miss Xue Lia must understand this. Although I was a little surprised by the name of the little girl, the first task now is to resolve the conflict between her and Liya.

"But don't worry, I didn't take it to heart. Xue Tiya still responded coldly.

"That's great. When I have the opportunity, let Sister Liya apologize to Miss Xue Liya in person!"

"No need. Xuedia stared at Vitrill for a long time, until Vitrill was a little embarrassed.

"That...... Miss Chertia, do I have anything on my face?" Vetlielle touched her face.

"You seem to have a lot of magic. "Xuedia felt the powerful magic in Vitrille from the beginning, but she didn't look like a magician.

"Ah, is that so? I just learned some basic magic from Sister Riya. ”

"What's your name?" said Shiveya, who seemed to have some interest in Wittel.

"Vitrelle, it's Lord Leon's maid. Wittelle smiled.

"Really? This little girl seems to be very happy with this identity.

"Miss Xuedia, where are you from, and why do you protect Lord Leon?" Vetlielle was also full of curiosity about Xuedia, and kept asking.

Leon was afraid that Vittell would ask some questions that Xuedia would dislike, so he quickly interrupted her.

"Vitael, you're asking too much!"

At this time, Wittelle was like a child who made a mistake, and reluctantly apologized to Xuedia.

After a two-day journey, Lyon and his party finally arrived in the city of Pacabe.

Because Ophelia had written to inform Bill in advance, Leon was not hindered and was taken directly by the soldiers to the mansion of the lord of Pakabe City, which was temporarily used as the combat headquarters.

Before getting out of the carriage, Xuedia once again hid in Leon's shadow. Only Vitterell followed Leon.

As soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, he saw a middle-aged man in silver-white armor hurrying towards Leon, followed by two guards.

"Dad!" Leon shouted happily to the approaching man.

The man in the armor was none other than Leon's father, Marquis Bill Frank.

"Leon, why are you here?" Bill didn't look excited about Leon's arrival, but rather worried.

"Dad, didn't Mom tell you in the letter?" Leon didn't understand why his father asked.

War is not what you think, it is very cruel and painful. You go back to me right now!" Bill also had his own plan in mind: the reinforcements of the Carson Empire were almost arriving, and most of this city of Pakabe could not be defended, and he must not let Leon stay here for burial. At the very least, there will be a head of the Frank family in the future.

Leon also guessed that his father would oppose him as strongly as his mother, but fortunately he was prepared.

"Father, even Mother can't stop me, do you think I'll go back like this?" Leon was heartbroken, he must stay, no matter what method he used.

"Leon, this is not a joke, House Frank, it's up to you in the future. Be obedient and go back quickly!" "As a soldier, a warrior, failure is unbearable. But now, Bill has to face reality.

"No, Father, Mother will allow me to come because I promised her that she will go back with you!, Father, please believe me!" Although Leon is not 100% sure whether he will be able to hold the city of Pakabe, he can only say this for the time being in order to convince his father.

"Is that true?" said Bill, grimacing because he knew Ophelia. If Leon wasn't sure, she wouldn't have let Leon come to Pakabe City like this.

"Hmm!" Leon nodded, "but I need my father to hand over the command to me." ”

Bill thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Leon was also taken aback, Dad agreed to this request so easily?

It's not so much that Bill believes in Lyons as he believes in Ophelia. Ophelia never does something that she is not sure of!

But where does he know. By the time he learns that he is in trouble, the once strong and confident Ophelia is long gone. This time she promised Leon was really helpless, she didn't want to watch her husband die.

"What is this?" After agreeing to Leon, Bill noticed a girl standing behind Leon.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce it. This is Vetel, my maid. Leon pulled Vittell to his side and solemnly introduced him to his father.

"Hello Marquis, Lord Marquis!" Vetlill was more nervous when she saw Bill, who was wearing armor and was upright, than when she first met Ophelia.

"Hello, then, Leon will take care of you!" said Bill earnestly, with the attitude of a soldier.

At this time, Wittelle had been stopped thinking by the sudden words.

"Please, please, let me take care of Lord Leon, please leave Lord Leon to me?" Vetel's mind didn't know where it had flown to.

"Come in first. "Now that Leon has been agreed to stay, let's let them settle down here first.

"Well, then from now on, I'm the Supreme Commander here, lead the way!" Leon was in high spirits, directly evoking Bill.

"And what has become of me?" Bill, his eyes widened, pointing his finger at himself. Himself went straight from the Supreme Commander to a lead the way?

"Huh?" Leon thought for a moment, "then you'll be my lieutenant!"

Although these two are father and son, they get along more like friends.

Bill listened to Leon's words and his muscles flare. If Ophelia hadn't spoiled him in everything, he would have had to teach him a lesson today. Thinking about Ophelia's "kind" eyes, Bill couldn't help but shudder. Heart: The adjutant is the adjutant, it's better than the one who leads the way.

Leon and Wittelle followed Bill, following the two guards deeper into the mansion.

Seeing that his father was fully armed, Leon was a little strange: "Dad, why are you dressed like this?"

"The Empire's reinforcements are already on their way, and it is estimated that they will attack in the next two days. We were about to have a combat meeting, and you just happened to be here. ”

"That's just right, it's better to come early than to come at a good time, hehe. ”

In the war room, the retainers of the Frank family had been waiting here for a long time.

Originally, the meeting was just about to start, but I received the news of the arrival of the little young master, and I had to postpone the meeting.

Everyone was talking about it, why did the little young master still come here at this time? Aren't you afraid that something will happen to this future heir?

However, what everyone is most concerned about is what kind of person this little young master is. Although he is a retainer of the Frank family, he was sent to the elven kingdom by Ophelia because Leon was a child. So almost no one here has ever seen Lyon.

After a while, Bill led Leon and Wittelle into the conference room.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Leon, and they let out a burst of exclamation: it's not a fairy, it really looks like Lord Ophelia!

Bill motioned for everyone to sit down.

"Before this operational meeting, I would like to announce to you: Well, that, from now on, Leon Frank will be the supreme commander here. Now, then, let's start the combat meeting!"

All the people's butts were not yet hot, and with a "rubbing", they all stood up: "What?!"

"I mean, from now on, Leon, as the Supreme Commander here, takes over all authority!" Bill repeated.

"My lord, let's not talk about the little master's ability. Changing commanders on the spot is a taboo for soldiers!"

"Yes, and it's the first time for the little master to go to the battlefield, right?"

"Yes, the little young master is not familiar with the situation here, and we have been fighting with Lord Bill all year round, and we have a more tacit understanding with Lord Bill, so it is more suitable for you as a commander, Lord Bill. ”

Although they spoke politely, they were even more unhappy when they saw Vitrille who was following Leon: As the heir of the Frank family, you can parachute in a supreme commander. But what do you mean by bringing a woman? And it's such a beautiful woman! This is a war, not a cannon! Disagree! Resolutely disagree!

Seeing the opposition of the retainers, Bill didn't know how to appease them for a while. You can't say that Leon has a way to defeat the army of the Carson Empire, right? Don't say it's them, you don't believe it! So, Bill gave Leon a look of help.

Leon rolled his eyes directly, as if to say: What are you doing with me? That's your subordinate, you can do it!

Bill suppressed the anger in his heart, and said earnestly: "Everyone, don't be impatient! Leon, as the heir of the Frank family, this right will be handed over to him sooner or later, and now it is just a little earlier. This battle may also be our last, so let's serve the next head of the family!"

When they returned to reality, everyone fell silent.

yes, this may be my last battle. In the face of such a situation, it doesn't matter who the supreme commander is. If you can contribute to the training of the next head of the family, then you can die a little bit better.

After seeing that everyone acquiesced, Leon finally spoke: "Everyone, thank you very much for your loyalty to the Frank family. You may think I'm here to gain experience and prepare for the succession of Frank's family. However, I do not intend to give up the city of Pakabe!Father, I beg you to introduce me to your positions and functions. ”

"From the left, the first is the commander of our infantry corps - Sherisbour, the second is the commander of the archery corps - Yuri, the third is the commander of the cavalry corps - Kazakh, the fourth is the captain of the logistics unit - Stexon, and the last is the captain of the special mobile unit - Harris. Next to it were their adjutants. ”

The people who were introduced saluted Lyon in response.

"Well, please take care of me. Now for the combat meeting!"
