Chapter 324: Taking over the wall part 7 (1/2)
Leo turned to look at Jeffrey as he nodded his head to express that he was grateful for his great save. If Jeffrey wasn't able to think of such a quick reaction, then they wouldn't have been able to escape that easily, even if they laid all the women on the bed and pretended to be asleep, because the biggest flaw would be a missing soldier outside the door.
”I just did what I saw was the correct thing to do,” Jeffrey scratched his head in reply.
Leo didn't reply but rather walked towards the armor stand at the side as he took off the Captain's armor and threw it to Jeffrey, ”Put on the armor, especially the helmet, you would be pretending as the Captain in this outpost along with those 5 others.”
Those hiding 5 other men coincidentally just left their hiding spot when they heard of Leo's word, which quickly made them want to hide back. What they have experienced just now was already enough for all of them to feel helpless in their lives, yet Leo actually wanted Jeffrey to pretend as the Captain along with them? That... is akin to pushing them to the pits of hell. No, it's more like they are going to enter Satan's castle.
”But...” Jeffrey also felt the same way as the 5 other men. The thing that he had done just now has already caused his heart to almost jumped out of his chest, not to mention pretend as the Captain of this outpost. His heart would definitely not only jumped off his chest, but it would definitely also run away for its life, leaving him.
”Acting is suited for you, so it should be fine if you pretend as the Captain of this outpost. Anyways, our men should already be almost complete in replacing all the Silver royal family's soldiers on top of the wall, so eventually, they would start coming here. You would be receiving them, while at the same time sending the remaining Silver royal family's soldiers to their deaths.” Leo consoled Jeffrey.
To be honest, after hearing Leo consoling him, Jeffrey almost believed that it would just be fine, everything would be alright, nothing to worry about, he can do it, but then he realized that Leo has mentioned the word 'Should', which simply means it's not yet sure.
”Wou... would they really be co... coming?” Jeffrey can't help asking, a bit scared of the chances that they might not come and save him.
Leo patted Jeffrey's shoulder and said with a mischievous smile on his face, ”Goodluck!” And he left the room, leaving Jeffrey with the 5 other men inside, still stunned on what Leo meant about 'Goodluck!'.
The moment Leo left the room, he calmly walked down the staircase before slowly making his way out of the outpost. Fortunately, no one was downstairs to see him coming down from upstairs.
Leo looked outside the outpost and observe all the Silver royal family's soldiers. Right now, he can't leave the same way as he got in because the soldiers would definitely be suspicious of why he didn't return after going to the dark alley.
He started observing the best opportunity to escape, and suddenly he noticed a soldier calling out other soldiers to prepare for a march.
That soldier was obviously gathering a group of soldiers to replace those that had just left.
But before Leo really went to volunteer himself so that he can finally escape from this place, he first looked at those new arrivals. A smile soon after slowly formed on his face.
The group that has just arrived were all sitting on the corner, still wearing their helmets to hide their faces, obviously feeling panicked inside about what to do next. He didn't hesitate to walk towards them, seemingly knowing who they were already.
The moment Leo arrived in front, he silently whispered to one of them, ”The Captain of this outpost is Jeffrey, he's currently upstairs, so you can rest assured that you will be safe as long as you don't reveal your face until all the Silver royal family's soldiers left this outpost.”
Hearing Leo's words, that person can't help heaving a sigh of relief knowing that they fortunately already have people in the inside of this outpost, a Captain on top of that, just like back on the top of the wall.
”Go and tell the others, especially Jeffrey. I need to quickly leave this place to go up the wall and inform the others on what to do next. All of you should still be careful, though.” Leo said before approaching that soldier who was gathering a group of soldiers to march towards the wall.
The moment Leo left, that person quickly turned around and informed all of his comrades. They all nodded their heads before going upstairs to meet up with Jeffrey.
”I've rested enough,” Leo said as he raised his hand.
That soldier turned to look at Leo and nodded his head before motioning him to go with the group.
Leo didn't bother replying as he just walked towards the gathered group of soldiers.
At this moment, there were already a total of 20 soldiers in this group, meaning they would be marching to the wall soon.
And just like what Leo expected, the moment the Logistics personnel safely arrived, their group immediately began marching to the wall.
The moment they finally reached nearby the door leading up to the wall, Leo, who was at the very back of the group, waved his hand to give some kind of signal to his men hiding in the dark.
