This is certainly the clearest indication in the

he should have sent an armed group of a size
capable of attempting to deal
with the menace. Sending Krell alone is pointless.
It's hard to tell how many troops he has available for deployment--some died or were wounded in the mutiny, and Leylan certainly has to keep the remaining prisoners closely guarded. He might not have anyone to spare.
I suspect that Leylan is trying to redeem himself by salvaging the Liberator only to find he's bitten off more than he can chew. I suspect he's torn between giving it up as a bad job and not losing face in front of Raiker. So he sends Krell which is a bad compromise between the two.
