After the troops and generals in Orleans came out, there were rounds of spontaneous cheers at the battle line of the British army.

There was a sharp contrast between the happy atmosphere condensed above the British army and the lost atmosphere condensed above the soldiers and generals in Orleans.

Soon, the old man walking in the front reached the front of the British army.

After searching the whole body and confirming that the old man did not carry any offensive weapons, the old man was escorted to the main formation of the British army.

At the base of the British army, Su Cheng, Deng Jiaer, Albert and other knights gathered together.

After the old man was taken into the formation and forced to kneel down on his knees, Su Cheng directly asked the old man:

"Are you Barr de Ruud?"

Su Cheng doesn't know what Barr looks like.

The old man did not answer Su Cheng's question.

Seeing that the old man didn't answer in time, all the Knights present frowned one after another.

Albert simply bent down to see the old man's face.

The old man hung his head low from head to tail. At the same time, he also hung his white hair to cover his face.

Even if Albert bent down, he could not see the old man's face clearly.

"Put your head up!" Albert shouted directly.

"... hehe."

The old man with his head down gave a few strange light laughter.

Then slowly raised his head.

At the moment when the old man looked up, Albert directly contracted his pupils and exclaimed:

"No! This guy is not Barr! "

Unlike Su Cheng, Albert, who had fought with Barr for many years, recognized Barr's appearance.

The moment he saw the old man looking up, Albert recognized it immediately - this man was not Barr.

As soon as Albert's exclamation fell, everyone in the array immediately stared at the old man like a great enemy.

Some knights who are confident in their fighting skills even put their hands on the hilt of their Knight's sword.

If the old man dares to do anything wrong, he is ready to kill him directly.

Only Su Cheng looked calm.

After learning from Albert that this person was not Barr, Su Cheng just raised his eyebrows.

"Since you're not Barr, who are you?"

"Leo." The old man said in not very standard britannian, "Leo de Forrest."

"Oh..." Su Cheng said softly, "you are Leo."

As one of the "three veterans of the Lorraine Empire", Su Cheng naturally knows who Leo is.

"You bastard!" Deng jiaerjiao, standing beside Su Cheng, shouted, "how dare you fake Barr! Where is Barr de Lu now? "

Leo was silent.

He closed his mouth and didn't answer Deng Jiaer's question.

When the people present felt anxious and planned to use violence to force Leo to speak, they had been watching Leo's Su Cheng with deep eyes since just now. At this time, they gave a light "ah" and then said:

"I know what you want to do."

"You disguised as Barr and led the defenders of Orleans to surrender to our army."

"You are the oldest general in the army except Barr. You are responsible for pretending to be Barr - the most appropriate."

"When you disguised as Barr and led the whole city to surrender to our army, the real Barr quietly ran out of the city while our attention was distracted by you."

"Am I right? His Excellency Leo de Frey? "

Leo was still silent.

But his slightly constricted pupil has betrayed his restless heart at this time.

Su Cheng was keenly aware of the subtle change in Leo's expression.

"It seems... My reasoning is right."

"Don't be surprised so soon, Lord Leo."

"My reasoning is not over yet."

"You not only let Barr escape from Orleans, but also let your 'Saint' escape from Orleans. Am I right?"

Su Cheng's words fell, and Leo's expression finally changed dramatically.

"Although I don't know if your 'Saint' is really as powerful as your rumors say."

"But I know - your 'Saint' is a very useful tool."

When talking about the word "tool", Su Cheng specially accentuated his tone.

At the same time, a meaningful smile also appeared on his face.

"The name of the 'Saint' has been known to everyone in your Lorraine empire."

"Many Rowling people have recognized that the 'Saint' is a hero who can save this country and save them."

"As long as the 'Saint' can escape to a safe place smoothly, and then hold high the 'Saint' flag, it will attract many men, women and children who don't want to become britannians."

"These men, women and children attracted by the name of 'Saint' are precious resistance forces."

"The virgin will attract the resistance, Barr will integrate the resistance, and then continue to resist our country - that's your plan, isn't it?"

Although Su Cheng asked "right", there was no tone in his tone that a question should have.

Because he was sure - that's what they planned.

Unwilling to surrender to the British Empire.

We intend to make use of the appeal of the "Saint" to fight the last trapped beast.

Su Cheng silently looks at Leo who is still silent.

Then he sighed:

"Lord Leo, I admire your will and faith to fight to the end."

"But have you ever thought about the success rate of your doing so?"

"Even if you have successfully assembled some resistance forces in the end, can your little strength deal with millions of troops in our country?"

"... as long as there is a glimmer of hope." Leo finally spoke and said in his not very standard britannian voice, "we won't give up."

"... what is the reason why you insist on fighting?"

"To protect the people at home." Leo replied without hesitation.

……

……

"... poof."

Su Cheng was silent.

After being silent for a long time, he suddenly puffed and laughed.

Su Cheng's laughter echoed in the array.

Leo frowned and stared at Su Cheng who kept laughing.

"Captain Cheng, what's funny in what I just said?!"

Su Cheng slowly stopped his laughter.

Then he said mercilessly:

"What you just said is very funny from beginning to end."

"Protect the people at home?"

Su Cheng cast a thought-provoking look at Leo.

"Are you too wishful thinking?"

"Have you ever thought that the people of the Lorraine Empire need your protection?"

"Your so-called 'protection' of the people -- this wishful thinking, don't you think it's ridiculous?"
