"Nonsense!"

In the tent in the center of the camp at midnight, Naze, the knight of the church who had listened to the report of the black-haired wizard, clapped his hands suddenly, and the entire table followed with a loud bang, staring at his copper bell-like eyes:

"I don't know exactly what evidence you've found, but I know one thing very well - and that is you, Your Excellency Loren Turin, who has been desperately trying to clear the name of that damned deserter, so that he can not not escape the severity of military justice, but also make him puff up his chest in front of the Holy Cross and show everyone that he is not a deserter!"

"What I say is only what I see. ”

Loren propped his hands on the table and looked at the knight of the church with no fear, "and make inferences from what I have seen—if you don't believe it, though you can come up with more solid evidence." ”

"There is no need for any evidence at all, because this is the truth!" Naze, the knight of the Church, blushed, and spat flew everywhere: "Even in front of anyone, in front of the Holy Cross, I can tell you, this is the truth, the truth is certain!"

"In the name of the Holy Cross, I can testify that the deserter named Luson killed them all—even if you let him escape the final punishment, no amount of perjury will be found!"

As his words fell, several church knights behind Naze also nodded in approval.

A hint of irritation flashed in Loren's eyes, he really hated communicating with such stubborn fanatics, because they couldn't listen to half of what they didn't want to hear.

Of course, he would prefer to consult with Brandon directly if he could, but half of the entire team were members of the Church, and they were also veterans of the Northland, plus twelve Church Knights formed the main force of the team. It is simply impossible to act directly without consulting them.

The most troublesome thing is that the group is still holding on to the fact that Lusen is a deserter, completely oblivious to the fact that this is also the last place where those monsters once haunted.

Tolerating this group of unreasonable Church Knights is also the price he and Brandon have to bear if they are willing to let the team be mixed with sand by Conod.

But now Loren regretted it a little.

“...... Well, let's stop arguing about this matter and return our attention to our tasks. Loren sighed: "I also found a ...... in the wreckage of the watchtower"

"No, I know what you're trying to do, you're going to just fool around and find a chance to make that deserter make meritorious service, so that he can redeem his merits!"

Naze, the knight of the church, immediately interrupted him, directly ignoring the whites of the black-haired wizard's eyes, staring at his face with burning eyes: "If we can't make Lusen pay for this, we can't continue to discuss it - it's not about good or bad, it's about good and evil, and justice must not be late!"

Half of the camp was trembling with excitement, and the knights of the church were agitating, while the officers behind Edward, the "captain of the guard", were silent one by one.

The atmosphere is moving in an eerie direction.

This is a group of people who can't be persuaded in words, and even if Loren puts the iron-clad evidence in front of them, their brows will definitely not frown more, and they will even retort with wide eyes.

In comparison, the "tolerance" of the knight of the guard of Farnesis can be called an outlier!

Although he always wanted to kill himself......

"That's it. ”

Brandon, who was sitting in the center, imitated the royal brother, propped his elbows on the table with his fingers crossed, and looked at Naze and his wizard advisors on both sides with a playful smile:

"I mean, that's the end of the conversation, how about moving on to the whereabouts of those monsters?"

"Your Highness, this has nothing to do with military regulations or any laws in the world, but a question of justice and evil......

"I'm sorry, I'm more concerned about the survival of the Sakran Empire than good and evil, I don't need any opinions other than that, if there is, please keep it until we get back to the fortress, and any issues we discuss before that must be related to the monster invasion, and everything else is put on hold!"

"Your Highness......"

"If you really want to discuss good and evil, you can go back to the fortress and write to Archbishop Innocent in the imperial capital, accusing me of doubting my loyalty to the Holy Cross!

While saying that, Brandon had already stood up, puffed out his chest and looked at Naze, the knight of the church:

"Don't let me remind you again who is the real steward here. ”

After a moment of staring at each other, the silent church knight Naze sat down silently and chose to obey.

He couldn't have rebelled against an heir to the Sakran Empire, even if... Just the heir in second order.

The tent regained its calm, looking at Brandon who sat down with a majestic face, and unlike the surprised expressions around him, Loren's face was only strange.

Yes, Brandon had just behaved very imposingly, even more than he had last time at the Liberty Council at Ebolden, but it was not his style at all, as if he was deliberately imitating someone he was particularly familiar with.

Conod de Salion... He was imitating his brother.

Noticing the eyes of his wizard advisor, a hint of cunning flashed in the corner of Brandon's eyes, and he glanced at Loren inadvertently.

In the next second, Brandon's face once again showed a smile as bright as the sun, and he rubbed his hands and looked at the officers and knights of the church present: "Okay gentlemen, do we have any plans?"

The church knights glanced at each other, and the expressions on their faces made Loren can't help but hook the corners of his mouth.

Obviously, this group of fanatics can't have any plans except when facing the enemy.

"We can open a search net and send Rangers around us to scout. ”

At the same moment, Edward, who had been silent all along, suddenly stood up and looked at Brandon who was sitting in front of him with an indifferent expression: "Since this is the last place where the monsters stayed, there must be traces of them nearby - as long as we find clues, we will soon find them." ”

"Do you want to spread out our small number of troops and scatter them all around?"

Naze, the frowning knight of the church, stood up again and stared at Edward, who had just spoken: "Do you know that this kind of reckless behavior will cause the dispersion of power! Once attacked by the enemy, His Highness may not even have enough troops to ensure his safety......

"Your Highness has a dragon beside her, and that's why His Highness Brandon had to come to the North himself, isn't it?" retorted the indifferent Edward:

"As the dragon rider of the Empire, is there any monster in this world that can defeat a dragon?"

"Even if it's a dragon, it's not absolutely invincible!" Naze retorted sharply, "The battle of the Valley of Bloodbones is the best proof of this! Two dragons fell there, and the war was even ...... so tragic back then"

"If you really encounter such a powerful enemy, Your Highness can ride the dragon away," Edward retorted unhurriedly, "and we can also evacuate south urgently after seeing His Highness leave—in fact, in the face of a large number of enemies, scattering can increase the probability of survival." ”

"I think it's a good idea, at least... Sounds good" Brandon snapped!" snapped his fingers and winked at the others: "Who is going to say another word?"

"Your Highness, allow me to make one last proposal. ”

The indifferent Edward stood up again: "If you can, I propose that you church knights be responsible for searching the surroundings and have your guards stationed in the watchtower—compared to us soldiers from the south, the veterans of the Holy Cross are obviously more familiar with the north, and it is easier to spot the traces and clues of monsters." ”

Brandon nodded, looking at his wizard advisor, "Loren?"

The black-haired wizard didn't look back, his confused gaze kept staring at the expressionless Edward, and slowly spoke:

"I agree with Your Excellency the Captain of the Guard. ”

This guy... Something is wrong.
