Claire stood in a standard military posture and read out the order meticulously.
"His Excellency Rean Schwarzer, the 'Grey Knight', is here to convey the imperial government's request. Find out the purpose of the 'association' and quell the chaos in Crossbell."
Li En also uncovered it in the same way and pressed his hand on his chest.
"I have indeed received this order."
"Of course, we also want to help."
As if it had been rehearsed, the door to the briefing room opened just in time.
Three people from the old Class VII walked in one after another.
The three of them had discussed it last night and would arrive at the camp this morning.
The person who spoke was Alyssa who was walking at the front.
Then came Emma: "I also have some things I care about that I want to investigate."
Finally it was Machias: "I have obtained permission from the Overwatch Council, let me help you."
"I won't be polite to you anymore." Li En nodded.
Towa, who was standing aside, also showed a relieved smile.
She actually wanted to go with Rean, but the camp couldn't do without people.
Michael also serves as the Railway Gendarmerie, and Randy's activities are restricted, so he can only rely on Tova, a "tool man" who is more versatile than Rean to some extent.
The next development also confirmed Tova's idea.
"Lieutenant Orlando——"
Claire hesitated for a moment, and as soon as she raised her head, Michael took her over.
"Let me tell you. Lieutenant Orlando, you do not have permission to go with us."
"I've thought of this kind of thing for a long time."
Randy shrugged. He had just spoken to his companions and he was very calm. His right fist was clenched slightly and raised slightly.
"No need to say more, leave Xiaoyou and other students to me."
"On the contrary, we will solve the problem here as soon as possible." Rean also raised his right fist.
"please."
"It's over here."
The two fists intersect, and the points are divided when they touch each other.
After retracting his fist, Rean looked at Claire again: "Is the major going to return to Mithulam next?"
"No, we need to go to the Railway Gendarmerie branch first. There are unusual movements in Kalvad, and I'm going to arrange countermeasures."
Rean was not surprised by Claire's answer.
Although Calvard lost on the frontal battlefield, he did not give up the fight for Crossbell.
If you can't beat it from the front, you can only rely on the countertop.
In this regard, Claire and Lecter are both veterans, so there is nothing to worry about.
The person who is qualified to let them take action should be the intelligence agency directly under Calvard President Locke Smith, most likely the central director Wuxiang Loulan.
I once served in the Guerrilla Association like Cassius, and I am a master from the Eastern sect. It is said that I have analytical and calculation abilities similar to Claire's.
When the two of them face off, it can be regarded as a match in chess, and they will meet a good talent.
"We will go together until we get to the city."
"good--"
As soon as she said this word, the force guide on Claire's waist rang.
She turned around and answered.
"It's me, Your Excellency the Governor...what? General Alleria - um, I understand, I'm at the camp, I will convey it."
Aurelia attracted everyone's attention. As soon as the communication ended, Michael asked: "What happened to the branch principal?"
"She said... she was going to Mithulam to compete with the 'Wind Sword Master'!"
Hearing what Claire said, the entire instructor team of the second branch became uneasy.
"Clam!!!"
"Branch principal——?" Tova didn't understand.
"What on earth is that woman thinking?" Mihail covered his face.
"Not good."
"yes."
Randy and Rean looked at each other, both showing worries.
"Wind Sword Master" Arios Marklain is the most important support for Ko's escape. Once he is restrained by Alleria, the danger faced by the remaining people will increase exponentially.
"Is there any way to stop her?"
"It's very difficult. When I had a sword fight with me before, I was asked to find a way to contact Teacher Yun and two senior brothers. I finally found the opportunity this time... Anyway, it was my fault, I shouldn't have told her that Macbon was here!"
This pot belongs to Rean and cannot be run away. Otherwise, he goes to find Alleria, who is still staying in Rivers.
Relying on her strength, she did successfully block Macbon, but it also left this hidden danger.
Thinking of this, Rean took out his Arcus, connected to Alleria, and tried his best.
But before he could say a few words, the other party hung up, and Rean had no choice but to close the force guide.
"The branch principal asked us to figure it out ourselves."
Rean said everything he could say.
Including Roselia has left, I can only rely on you.
To this, Alleria only replied, Don't you have similar abilities? Go ahead yourself.
Randy sighed: "This is not your responsibility, you are also being cautious and for safety reasons."
It's just that the second branch is safe, but the support department is even more difficult.
If Alleria can't be stopped, at least find a way to notify Lloyd and let them prepare.
Of course, he couldn't say this clearly, he could only wink at Li En implicitly.
Rean understood.
In fact, there is no need for Randy to remind him, he will notify Lloyd as soon as possible after leaving.
At the same time, we will also make other efforts.
"Major Claire, I want to ask you one thing. When you receive the branch principal, please bring Speaker McDowell's granddaughter with you."
"Miss Ellie?" Of course Claire knew Ellie, "Why do you want to bring her with you?"
"She may be related to the branch principal."
Not possible.
Before coming back, the branch principal personally admitted that the two were distant relatives.
However, this kind of information would not be recorded in the files of the Intelligence Bureau. Rean could only "analyze" it based on the known information about the McDowell family.
Marriage between nobles is normal, especially for nobles with a long history like the Le Guin family, where there are many related families.
Randy also provided support for Rean's "speculation".
"Yes. The eldest lady's mother seems to have gone to live with a relative in Lamar State. She seems to be a noble. The branch principal is also a noble from Lamar State. The hair color and some aspects of the two are so similar-"
Halfway through, Randy couldn't continue, because many people's eyes changed when they looked at him, becoming disgusted with a bit of contempt, and they quickly made amends.
"I'm just stating the facts, don't get it wrong."
You are probably the easiest person to think wrong here - no one complained openly, but they all expressed this attitude to some extent.
Fortunately, Randy was thick-skinned enough and was not afraid of being looked down upon. He continued: "Major Claire, I'm begging you too."
Claire glanced at Rean quietly, and finally nodded: "I will find a way to persuade Lecter and strive for activities within the scope of authority - at least the order I received directed a blockade, not an arrest."
"Thank you so much." Randy bowed deeply.
Mihail regained his usual poker face: "That's it for the briefing. Orlando, Herschel, start today's exercise. Schwarzer, you can proceed with the government's request. Levit - you also go to perform your mission.
"
Claire turned and left without saying a word.
The others didn't stay too long and left one after another.
In the end, Michael was the only one left in the briefing room.
He walked back to the conference table and sat down, took off his military cap, put it aside, and closed his eyes slightly.
His expression is sometimes soft and sometimes cold, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.
