Chapter 237: Passing the buck

The guards beside Nossi were puzzled and wondered what this meant.

However, seeing the bishop's attitude, Nossi seemed calm, and stood silently waiting for Lawrence to finish the prayer, and then shouted again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Bishop Lawrence turned his head to look at him at this time, and there was no wave in his eyes: "The army of the Night Race has been settled?" ”

"We got to the other side of the valley, but we didn't find the army of the Night Race, only some traces of the demonic beasts' activities." "So we judged that it should be our scout team who lied about the situation at the front. Now the commander is leading the Legion of Light towards Dija......"

"No army of the Night?" Lawrence looked very shocked and looked at Nosse, "How can this be, Paladin Scout?" Haven't they been reporting to us on the march of the Night's Race? ”

Several paladins around Nossi secretly felt a little disdainful of the bishop's reaction. They speculated that Bishop Lawrence should have understood the Legion of Light's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain when he learned of the attack on the North Templar, but now he pretended to be shocked, which was quite meaningful.

"I've sent someone to find those scouts. Judging from the current situation, those guys should have lied about the situation at the front, but it is not known why they did this for the time being. Nossey replied.

In fact, through Lawrence's performance just now, Nossi already knew what kind of plans the bishop had.

As Northy expected, Bishop Lawrence looked very annoyed: "This group of bastards, how dare you do such a thing? Because of their misintelligence, we invested most of our forces in the front, causing the void in the rear, which led to the current result. They are fully responsible for this. ”

In a few words, he brushed off his responsibilities. Several paladin guards beside Nossey lowered their heads, but their faces showed disdain without exception.

Then Bishop Lawrence turned to face the crowd who were reciting the prayer, picked up his staff and waved it lightly, and all sounds disappeared.

"Believers, all the suffering we have suffered today will be the impetus for the extermination of the Night Race. I assure you that what we have lost now will be reclaimed from the Night Race in the near future. Lawrence raised his staff aloft, "All the souls who died in this battle, I pray for you that you may have eternal life in the kingdom of light." ”

The believers looked at the milky white light that poured from the sky, and all of them burst into tears.

Ten minutes later, Bishop Lawrence returned to a secret residence of the Light Race. Many of the High Clergy were already waiting here, and when they saw Lawrence and Nossi enter, they rose to greet them.

"What about the damn paladin scouts?" Lawrence asked aloud, "Bring them all to me." These damn brutes, I want them to understand what price to pay for their actions. ”

An intelligence officer stood up tremblingly: "Lord Bishop, we just got the news that all the scouts have committed suicide. ”

"Suicide?" Lawrence's eyes were red and bloodshot.

He had intended to pour all his anger on a few scouts, but now it was like a heavy punch on cotton, and his anger could not find a suitable outlet for it, and with a lift of his scepter, the table in front of him was smashed to pieces.

Seeing that the bishop was so out of shape, all of the senior clergy below did not dare to say anything. They know very well that Lawrence's whole person is like a powder keg now, and no one is stupid enough to be that lead.

In contrast, Nosse, who had the same qualifications as Lawrence, was much calmer, sitting in the chair that belonged to him next to him, looking at everyone with a serious face. Looking at it this way, this paladin lord has the demeanor of a supreme leader.

"This can't just be left at that." Lawrence told the intelligence officer, "Go and find out who these scouts were in contact with before they committed suicide, and ask the people who lived in the neighborhood to see if there were any suspicious people in the neighborhood before they died." I don't think the whole thing is that simple, it's possible that there is a manipulator behind these guys, and that manipulator is the one who is really in collusion with the Night Race. ”

The intelligence officer bowed his head and left.

Lawrence then made a series of arrangements for the senior clergy under him, most of which were related to the aftermath of the incident. Then, he finally waved his hand to everyone: "You all go and do what you have to do, I still have some things to discuss with Lord Nosse." ”

The dialogue between the two bigwigs, as subordinates, naturally had no power to participate, so they left one after another. After a while, only Lawrence and Nocy were left in the room.

Nossi felt that the atmosphere was a little strange today. Although he and Bishop Lawrence usually work together on weekdays, in order to avoid the embarrassment of "king to king", it is generally rare for the two to talk about things in this way. Today, Lawrence deliberately left himself behind, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"Lord Noxi, I'm responsible for today's incident."

To the surprise of this paladin, as soon as Bishop Lawrence spoke, he actually said with some self-reproach: "If I could listen to you today and insist on keeping the full strength of the elite squad in the rear, there would not be such a big loss when there was a conflict between the two sides." ”

Seeing Lawrence's distressed appearance, although Nossi felt that this was the psychological punishment he should bear, he finally felt a little unbearable, and persuaded him: "It's not your fault, the scout's intelligence is the culprit." ”

"On the surface, it was indeed the intelligence error of the scouts that led to this deployment error. But at its root, it was caused by my inaccurate judgment of the enemy's thinking as a bishop. Lawrence shook his head slowly, "The reason why I didn't admit this just now is because I have to maintain my prestige as a bishop to ensure that there will be no major chaos in the Light Race as a whole. But I am aware of my own mistakes and deeply repentant. ”

Lawrence looked at Nossi after saying this, as if waiting for the other party to show an attitude. But Nossi didn't say anything, still looking at him with a blank face.

Seeing that the other party had not created a suitable step for him to go down, Lawrence had to create one himself, and said with some embarrassment: "The impact of this incident is really bad, but the thing is already like this, the person who should be punished is dead, I wonder if this matter is over?"
