Chapter 556: Exposed 2
While Manager Ford and Butler Philip were at a loss in Paul's office on the second floor, a guard knocked on the office door.
"My lords, Lieutenant Warren said he had urgent military matters and left first."
"What?"
The two were shocked and hurriedly left the office and walked quickly Cross the corridor, go to the stairs and look down.
Sure enough, Burgan Varun's original author's seat was empty.
Philip said worriedly: "Emergency military affairs, what's going on?"
Director Ford was a little frustrated and said regretfully: "Maybe we should have been more decisive just now and controlled it in time. Him."
There was only a whirring sound, and the parrot that was in the office just now flew over along the corridor. When old Ford and Philip were discussing countermeasures, the bird seemed to fly outside through the window. Went.
Are you flying back now?
The parrot flapped its wings, landed on the stair railing, and opened its mouth.
"Schroeder! The army is coming! Schroeder! The army is coming!"
I have to say that this bird raised by Ladi Setia is really amazing. , the parrot actually imitated human speech. Although it was incoherent, the two of them could fully understand what it wanted to express.
If it were an ordinary parrot, Controller Ford and Philip might just be confused. However, this is no ordinary parrot, because its owner is not an ordinary woman.
If your guess is correct, Chief of Staff Schroeder is back with the army.
Old Ford thought for a while and said to Philip: "Just now Burgan said that there was urgent military affairs to deal with, is that it? I guess Schroeder noticed Burgan's unusual movements from the beginning, and left the town in the center of the lake in time. Reinforcements were found elsewhere, and now they are leading the army back."
Philip didn't know about District 51, but Old Ford, who was the director of the Government Affairs Council, knew. Unable to contact the four infantry battalions who were out for field training in time, Schroeder was most likely to go to the 51st overnight to find the army.
"I...should we help the chief of staff?"
Hearing that troops loyal to the lord had returned, Philip was so excited that his lips trembled when he spoke.
“The most effective way is to control this castle. If we succeed, Burgan and his men will definitely be thrown into panic. There will be enemies inside and outside, which will have a great impact on morale. ”
"You're right, let's call the guards now. Tell Russ, he is the former guard captain."
The two hurriedly walked down the stairs and returned to the hall where everyone was meeting.
However, a sudden change occurred at this time. A team trotted into the vestibule of the castle. There were about a hundred people. Judging from their clothes, there were militiamen and police. Old Ford and Philip were nervous, wondering what Burgan was going to do.
A man broke into the lobby of the Lord's Mansion.
"Bilaire? What are you doing here?"
Russ Hayden, director of the Department of Public Safety, who was also here to attend the meeting, asked suspiciously when he saw the person coming.
Isn’t this person Bilaire McReynolds, the captain of the second detachment? He can also be regarded as his subordinate. However, after Huxin Town entered martial law, all the police forces in the city went to cooperate with the military operations. .
"Director Hayden, gentlemen!"
Bilaire McReynolds looked very respectful, "There is very bad news. The rebels have begun to attack Lake Town. Lieutenant Burgan went to organize the defense." Upon hearing the news, the officials from various ministries who were not aware of it looked at each other, why did they come so soon?
Old Ford and Phillip cursed secretly in their hearts. They were still slandering those warriors who had finally conquered the lord. They were really confusing right and wrong.
The director of the Government Affairs Council asked: "In such an urgent moment, if you don't help Burgan, why are you coming to the Lord's Mansion?"
Biler explained: "The Lord's Mansion is such an important place. Naturally, security is the top priority. Chief Burgan is afraid that some thugs in the city will take advantage of the chaos to attack the Lord's Mansion, so he sent us to strengthen the security here. Also, in view of the current chaotic situation, the lieutenant said that everyone must do it. We have to stay in the castle. The police force in Lake Center Town is now insufficient, so we have to stay here and focus on protection.”
Philip was very angry, but he did not dare to show it on his face. He's obviously here to spy on us, that bastard Burgan.
Others were also very upset. After having meetings all night and all morning, they thought they could go back to their own beds and have a good sleep.
Old Ford stroked his beard as usual and said: "In this case, why not bring the families of everyone here to the lord's house so that we can take care of them together. If there are thugs who are coordinating the rebels in the city, they can also stay at home. It’s very dangerous.”
Philip was shocked, and then he understood that Director Ford was going to die. After bringing the families of the officials to the Lord's Mansion, and after falling out with Burgan, everyone had no worries. If they stayed outside, even if they could control the Lord's Mansion Castle, they would still leave a lot of hostages outside.
But Billaire McReynolds didn't know that Controller Ford already knew the truth about the rebellion. He thought that the old man in front of him was still in the script they wrote.
There was a hint of imperceptible ridicule in the eyes of the police detachment leader, haha, you said it yourself.
"Sir Ford, I will do it right away."
He bowed slightly to the acting lord Yurio to show respect, then turned and left the hall.
After watching Bilaire leave, Controller Ford turned to the director of the Department of Public Safety and shouted:
"Ruth, come here, I have something to tell you."
< br>Before serving as the director of the Department of Public Security, Ruth Hayden commanded the guards of the Lord's Mansion and was the person with the highest force value here.
About two hours later, the officials’ families were all brought into the castle.
"Close the door!"
After the last person entered the castle, Zane, the militia captain who came to the Lord's Mansion to participate in security tasks, ordered the castle door to be closed.
I don’t know why, Zane always felt weird in his heart.
That Lieutenant Burgan said that there were lurking rebels in the city, but after the martial law began, the Tata Town militia received the task of patrolling the streets. Zane has been leading his brothers on the streets since the early morning. Patrolling, but never saw or heard anything unusual.
Could it be that the rebels were frightened into hiding after seeing the official preparations?
Why do you have so much courage to rebel? Even if you don't dare to start a fight openly and openly, can you still do it by setting off a few fires secretly?
Lord Grayman was actually assassinated by such a group of cowards. It’s really a bit...
Just when Zane was thinking wildly, a loud noise suddenly came from the lobby of the Lord’s Mansion. The sound was mixed with frightened shouts.
What...what happened?
Zane, who was nervous, immediately thought of something bad - could there be rebels who had sneaked into the lord's mansion and were killing people in the castle hall?
I was still complaining about them just now.
Alas! Zane stamped his feet on the ground angrily and called to the brothers, "Let's go and have a look."
