When Petals Meet The Blade (Priscilla and Waldo) novel Chapter 362

Elijah just couldn’t wrap his head around it.

Kabury County wasn’t exactly wealthy. If it were just a few desperate bandits raiding the town for survival, well, that would be understandable.

But this time, Leon came specifically to eliminate the rebels manufacturing thunder grenades.

Anyone capable of producing devastating weapons like thunder grenades must have powerful backing. The forces behind them were no small threat.

Rebels like these would never attack Kabury County just to make ends meet.

This brought them no benefit.

“Ms. Yates…” Lincoln said.

“I reckon Prince Leon must have thoroughly studied the terrain on the sand table before making this decision.” Jessica let out a breath and asked, “Who

made this sand table?”

“That’s Mila, seventeenth among the Eagle Troops and a real expert at tracking and scouting.” Mila’s sand table models were rarely ever incorrect.

Jessica looked at him, a bit surprised. “A woman?”

Elijah suddenly thought of something and got a bit uneasy. He quickly explained, “Even though she’s a woman, she acts just like one of the guys and has absolutely no romantic interest in Leon. Please don’t get the wrong idea, Ms. Yates…”

Jessica said, “What nonsense are you thinking? I just heard from Leon that he doesn’t like having women around. Given that, the fact that Mila, a woman, could become one of the Eagle Troops proves her abilities must be truly exceptional.”

He couldn’t help but worry. Why hadn’t their scouts sent back any reports? The last message they received indicated they’d lost contact with Leon’s unit. His men had been searching relentlessly, and Elijah had nearly given in to the urge to go look for Leon personally.

Yet Leon had strictly forbidden him to leave the ranks even for Kabury County to death.

“He’s fine,” Jessica murmured, pressing a finger to her lips in a silencing gesture.

Elijah instantly tensed up. ‘She’s not as simple as she looks,‘ he thought, as a realization suddenly dawned on him.

Looking at Jessica again, she remained composed, her gaze fixed on the distant horizon.

Elijah’s heart tightened.

Honestly, even he wasn’t sure if his guess was right or wrong.

‘What if she’s right?‘ Elijah thought anxiously.

Elijah asked anxiously, “Ms. Yates, how… how should we deploy our forces?”

“Let’s discuss this back at the command tent,” Jessica said calmly.
