Chapter 287: Elias' Decision
Sebastian watched the unsmuggled Maffeo break through the door, and he slammed the door open, which also startled Sebastian. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "Oh my God, what's going on?" he saw Ludwig and Walter being dragged back by Maffeo, well, it was a wonderful encounter. They were supposed to stay aboard the Black Shark to avoid the storm here, but here they were.
"It's just that the little guy misses me. When Maffeo finally let go of Ludwig's collar, he almost gasped for breath, and he coughed violently.
"Ludwig, can't you see it?" said Sebastian reproachfully, having managed to find a good man at the helm, who did not want to be a corpse in the riots in Aucent.
"I'm sorry...... But it's unsettling and I can't help it. Ludwig hurriedly apologized, as if he had at any moment expected that any of the Black Shark's crew would rush up and beat him up, except for Maffeo.
"Forget it, we won't sail until we're done with things, so you can stay here in peace, it's safe here. Sebastian softened his tone.
Ludwig nodded his head as if he had been given something to him. "I will, First Officer Fergt. ”
"Hey, Maffeo, why do you have blood on you?" Sebastian first noticed the blood on Maffeo's trench coat as he drew his gaze back to Maffeo.
"It's just...... Just a little apple juice. Maffeo lied.
"Oh, that doesn't look like apple juice, do you think that fools a bastard who used to fight an enemy crew on deck?" Sebastian didn't care if Maffeo lied, he just spread his hands.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you. Maffeo felt that there was no point in concealing it, and he had to tell Sebastian the truth, otherwise they would not be able to help him. He told Sebastian about his encounter with Klein, but he didn't mention the exact outcome of the battle or how he had almost lost his mind under Kazan's influence. It would be too unstable for him, and Maffeo thought they might not be able to let a guy who could go crazy at any moment continue his actions.
"So that guy is a member of the Revolutionary Army?"
"Maybe, maybe not. ”
"Is that an answer?" asked Sebastian.
"What I'm missing right now is evidence, damn it, they killed a couple of Imperial troops, I can't really guess what they're trying to do or what they're aiming for. Maffeo sat on the bench in frustration, rubbing his head, and he felt a headache again.
Sebastian handed over a cup of coffee, "Then take a break and relax yourself." ”
"Does that really work?"
"Let's try it, Adrian is already used to it anyway. ”
"Well, I hope you're right. ”
Elias rode all the way to the scene of the incident in the Southside, and when he heard that almost all the captains of the guards had been killed in the Southside, he was discussing the next plan of action with Neumann, and this sudden event completely disrupted his plans, so he didn't care about anything and galloped with Neumann to the scene of the incident.
Klein's desiccated body lay there silently, his cleanup unsuccessful, so much so that the Imperial Army sensed something was wrong half an hour later. It took a dozen guys to confirm that they understood that the news of the killing of the captain of the guard in their mouths was not fabricated out of thin air. Elias gently pushed away the stunned soldiers who had been killed by his captain, and walked over to the pile of corpses with torches.
The firelight reflected his sad gaze, but it was only for a moment, and he quickly adjusted his emotions, he knew who he was and how calm he should be. As the only surviving captain of the guard and the first to arrive at the scene, Ram was so drunk that he missed the forged and highly successful order, but it saved him his life, which is ironic.
"What's going on, Ram?" Elias asked softly.
Ram mechanically turned his head to Elias, "Captain Meyer, they're under attack, this is a forged order I found on them, everyone has ......" There was no emotion in his tone, he blamed himself to the extreme, at this moment he really wanted to draw his sword and end his life. In fact, he had done that a few minutes earlier, only the soldiers stopped him from doing so. He also nearly killed a soldier by mistake because of it, so he stopped impulsively doing that stupid act.
Elias took the forged order, and for the next dozen seconds, his expression grew darker with the content of the order. If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't given the order at all, he would have almost thought it was his own. There was even an imperial seal printed on the lower right side of the parchment of the order, no, to be exact, it was almost true, because Neumann, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly said at this moment: "That seal doesn't look like an imitation." ”
"How did they get the seal?" Elias asked calmly.
"I think they probably copied the seal perfectly, maybe they really have that strength. Neumann guessed.
"Then their attack on the eastern part of the castle may be just a cover, and they are there to put a lot of pressure on us. If they had infiltrated the castle at that time, we wouldn't have had time to care. Elias said, based on Neumann's guess.
"Possibly, but what are you going to do with the situation?" All Neumann could do was make as many suggestions as he could, and the decision-making power was always in Elias' hands.
Elias pondered for a moment, then beckoned to the two guards closest to him. "You two, take him to rest, okay?" he pointed to Ram, who was in a trance, and the two soldiers walked silently towards Ram, then hugged his crumbling body. When the three of them were gone, Elias began to give orders. "From now on, the Second Guard will be under my direct command, and in addition, I will need soldiers from the First Guard and the Fourth Guard who are proficient in swordsmanship. ”
"Yes, Captain!" Elias was the last spiritual sustenance of the soldiers, so they stopped themselves from being like the living dead.
"Do you have any ideas?" Neumann asked.
"All soldiers must strictly abide by all regulations and do your best to search every corner of Osente. At the same time, patrols must be available 24 hours a day to strengthen patrols in the outer areas of Aocente. If you spot any Revolutionary Army or Thieves' Guilds, report them to me immediately. May the gods bless you, soldiers. Elias replied to Neumann with an order.
"I can't think of a better way. Neumann spread his hands.
Amid the neat footsteps of the soldiers, Elias walked back to Neumann's side. "If I could, I'd like to be just an ordinary soldier myself, so at least I wouldn't have to think too much. ”
"But you don't have a choice. ”
"Yes......"
