Chapter 515 Even begging and pleading won't work!

The renowned battlefield commander of the Federal Army now stood before Liang He, glancing at her cautiously like a child who had made a mistake.

Liang He, with a gloomy face, was so angry that she didn't even bother to glance at him, which made Landon very anxious.

"唳~"

In a moment of desperation, not knowing how to explain himself, Landon transformed into a blue falcon and affectionately pounced on Liang He, clearly intending to beg for mercy with cuteness.

His shameless behavior drew glares from everyone, but one person's eyes lit up.

"Hi~"

Embraced by the wings of the Azure Falcon, Liang He felt a chill on her wrist. Looking down, she burst into laughter in exasperation.

"Ha, you two... you really think that by acting cute, I'll let you off the hook?"

Liang He really likes fluffy things, and she will spoil them and turn a blind eye to ordinary little things.

But this time it's different; Landon and Elius are gambling with their lives!

"Huh? Liang He, what happened? Why are you so angry?"

Upon learning of Elitaire's death, Holder, who had just sneaked back to the research institute with Lu Qin, heard Liang He's angry voice as soon as he entered. He immediately opened his eyes wide with curiosity, eager to see what was going on.

After he saw the beastly state of Landon and Elius, he became even more certain that they must have made a big mistake and were going to be scolded.

"Let Landon handle this matter."

Unlike Holder, who was completely unaware, Hoan had clearly noticed something amiss.

He directly named Landon over Elius, clearly indicating that he had guessed who the mastermind was.

As the top commander on the battlefield, Landon was resourceful and intelligent. Only he could plan everything in such a short time, mentally rehearse all the consequences, and assess the feasibility of the plan.

"Wow!"

Landon, who was called out, flapped its wings defiantly, looking like it would never admit it, and tried to bury its head in Liang He's neck, begging for mercy.

Before Cedril could even pull him away out of jealousy, Liang He struck first.

"Landon, if you don't confess right away, believe me, I'll give away all your feathers as a treat for my fans!"

In that case, he'll only be able to live as a vulture!

"No... I know I was wrong."

Even though he knew Liang He was just trying to scare him, Landon, who was already feeling guilty, still grumbled and let go of her, hanging his head but refusing to turn back into human form.

He now only hoped that Liang He would be lenient with him, considering his honesty and his furry appearance.

"At first, I did indeed act according to plan..."

However, just as Langton was searching for evidence of Ellitale's crimes, he unfortunately ran into him returning, and the two got into a fight.

“I was wearing a black robe and a mask at the time, and Elitaire did not recognize me.”

That's why Landon didn't reveal his identity immediately, for fear of arousing Elitaire's suspicion and ruining Liang He's plan.

However, without revealing his identity, Landon found it difficult to unleash his full potential. When he was besieged by Elitaire's men, Elius appeared just in time.

Landon was grabbed by Elius, who was hiding in the shadows, and temporarily concealed himself.

"Later, we thought that since Elitaire had already discovered it, if we didn't let him catch the person, it might ruin the whole plan, so..."

So, Landon decided to go with the flow and use their scheme against them. Just as Liang He had anticipated, even if they obtained the evidence, Elitaire would still need to stand trial, and it was unclear what the rebels would do after learning the news.

To avoid any unforeseen complications and a greater retaliation and counterattack from Elitaire and the rebels, Landon wanted to frame Elitaire for murder and use that as a legitimate reason to kill him directly.

"But in this way, the rebels' attention will still be focused on you. At that time, they will still associate you with Liang He and would rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."

Cedrill understood: Landon wanted to create a legitimate reason to get rid of Elitaire, but his identity should not be exposed, while Elius was different.

The feud between Elius and Elitaire was common knowledge, and the rebels were no exception.

If it were Elius who was captured, Liang He would have been furious and killed Elithel, which would have been perfectly reasonable and logical.

"But have you considered that, whether it's you or Elius, once you're caught, you could be tortured to death by Elitaire?"

Huo An, his face full of disapproval, frowned deeply. No wonder Liang He was so angry; they were simply being ridiculous!

"Actually, no... I have a way to escape."

Seeing that everyone was focusing their firepower on Landon, Elius, who was also involved in the plan, weakly raised his tail.

"I can create illusions and change my shape, so I can always escape."

"Oh? So I should praise you for being both brave and resourceful?"

Upon hearing Elius's words, Liang He was furious. She grabbed Elius by the tail, hung him upside down in the air, and stared at him straight in the eye.

Liang He's sarcastic words made Elius, the snake, feel uneasy, a chill run down his spine, and he curled up and begged for mercy.

"My little ancestor, I was wrong. I shouldn't have acted on my own, and I shouldn't have put myself in danger. Please forgive us this time."

"Yes, I will never do it again."

Seeing that Elius had even called him "little ancestor," Landon naturally followed suit and begged for forgiveness.

One of them was the top commander on the battlefield, and the other was the leader of the space pirates. Now, in front of Liang He, they were willing to transform into furry creatures and beg for forgiveness, completely lacking their former majestic demeanor.

Because they all knew that Liang He was angry because they didn't value their own lives and risked their lives, which was why she was so furious.

"Do you know that Liang He was almost killed by Elitaire's cannons while trying to rescue you from Elitaire and avenge the harm they did to Landon?"

Hoan, who also strongly disapproved of Landon and Elius's dangerous act of using themselves as bait, seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

"What?! Is this true? Sister, are you alright?!"

"Holy crap! This Elitaire is going way too far! Using cannons to bombard them, isn't he afraid of attracting the Federation army?!"

"Liang He, are you really alright? Why don't you sit down and talk it over slowly? Don't force yourself."

Upon hearing Huo An's words, everyone instinctively moved closer to Liang He, pushing Landon and Elius aside, and helped her to the sofa with expressions of tension and worry.

Landon and Elius, who had been squeezed out, were now even more frustrated.

At this moment, she couldn't care less about asking for forgiveness. She immediately transformed back into human form, wanting to check if Liang He was injured, but she didn't dare to get close.

"Alright, I'm fine. Brother Huo, you're exaggerating."

As Liang He was helped to sit on the sofa, she felt as if she had instantly turned into a frail old woman. She was speechless and could only manage a helpless twitch of her lips.

"I'm not exaggerating. If you hadn't had me lying in ambush underwater beforehand to meet you the moment the shelling started, you would have... sigh."

Hoan deliberately left his sentence unfinished and even sighed, leaving the rest for Elius and Landon to fill in the blanks themselves.

Clearly, the power of imagination is immense. Elius and Langdon's eyes immediately welled up with tears, their hearts filled with lingering fear and regret.
