Chapter 928: Failure (Part II)
The city of Salant
In the sky, a cloud suddenly obscured the sun, and the originally brilliant sunlight suddenly dimmed.
In Haboba's mansion, an attendant suddenly came in from outside.
He soon came to the door of the Shao study where the lord Haboba was, and after knocking lightly on the door a few times, after seeing that no one answered, he called out loudly outside the door: "Lord Lord!
"Oh, what's the matter?" suddenly the door opened, and Haboba was already in the doorway.
"How's the situation? Xiao Fang's war, is there any news now?" Letting the man into the study, Haboba then asked.
Just now, in the south of the lord's study, Haboba couldn't sit still at all, and he kept moving around the room.
In the first half of the war, he was involved in commanding, and later captured 100,000 people, and in order to arrange these people, he returned, but, just after returning, suddenly, the news was cut off.
This gave him a sense of foreboding.
Seeing that someone was reporting the situation at this time, he thought that he was here to report on the battle ahead, so his mood became more and more anxious.
The attendant who came in, seeing that Haboba's face was a little discolored, and the question he asked was completely different from what he wanted to report, this attendant's heart suddenly suddenly, startled, knowing that his behavior had misunderstood the lord, he hurriedly lowered his head and replied respectfully: "Lord, I am here to deliver a report on behalf of Mrs. Sihari, and she asked to see you......"
Mrs. Sihari was a friend of Haboba, a noblewoman in the past, and had an ambiguous relationship with Haboba, and used to come over often.
If it was in normal times, he would naturally be very happy to hear the news that the other party came to see him, but now, there was something else in his heart, and when he heard the matter reported by this attendant turned out to be this matter, Haboba suddenly became a little angry.
"What a bastard!" couldn't help but curse in a low voice, and Haboba, whose face was very ugly, immediately waved his hand: "You go and tell her that I don't have time to see her now, and I'll talk about it later." Bar!
"Yes!" Seeing that the lord was so depressed, and his face was so ugly, this squire
Not daring to say anything more, he immediately withdrew from the study, and trotted to reply to the lady.
In the study, Haboba's mood has become worse and worse.
If there has been no news, his anger can barely be suppressed, but now, under the ups and downs, he has already felt a feeling of being fooled, at this moment, Haboba, like a barrel of explosives that has been half ignited, will explode at any time.
"Damn it, why haven't any of the people sent out have come back? Why hasn't there been any news from the temple? Otherwise, I'll go to the temple now and ask about it!" Thinking like this in his heart, Haboba's face was gloomy and terrible.
What he was worried about was the war ahead.
Just a few days ago, his realm sent soldiers and the dragon lord to conquer other territories.
In the beginning, there would be some news of small victories coming back, but a few days ago, I don't know what happened, the front team and the territory suddenly lost contact, and after a few days of this situation, Haboba began to get nervous.
"Okay, that's it, I'll go to the temple and inquire now, to see if they have received the news, if they haven't gotten the news either, it means that something really happened. Haboba thought so, and wanted to go out.
However, after taking a few steps, he stopped again.
"Forget it, I still don't go to the temple, if there is really any news, then they will naturally tell me...... If there is no news, maybe it is good news. Haboba had to think so.
Immediately, he sat down at the table and poured himself a glass of water.
After drinking the water rumblingly, Haboba's mood calmed down somewhat.
At this time, the sound of the news sounded outside the door again, and listening to the voice, it was still the attendant just now.
The ignorant fire that had been suppressed suddenly rose up.
"Didn't you just tell you that? Let her go! I don't have time to see her now!" Slamming the door, Haboba walked out and drank.
However, as soon as the words came out, Haboba's expression was immediately stunned.
It turned out that this time, in addition to the attendant just now, there was one more person behind the attendant.
One of the people Habopa was about to meet right now, the Chaute Pastor who stayed in the temple, a fourth-level priest who was quite highly regarded and was known as one of the most promising priests to enter the fifth-level.
"Why, don't you welcome me?" Seeing Haboba stunned, Pastor Jot smiled and said.
"No, no, how could you not be welcome, I didn't expect you to come this time!" Stunned, Haboba hurriedly invited inside: "Please come in, Pastor Jot, I thought of the temple just now!"
Then he said to the squire, "Go down first." The attendant secretly wiped his sweat and went down. Thankfully, it was Pastor Jot who came this time, otherwise, he would have been miserable.
Haboba had already let Pastor Jot into the room, and Pastor Jot, who walked in, couldn't help but ask, "Is it possible that there are more people coming to the Earl these days?"
"Pastor Jot, you're joking, actually, not many people came to me, but when I was depressed just now, I was disturbed by someone, when you came, I thought it was still that person, a little annoyed, if I had known that Pastor Jot was coming, I would definitely send someone to greet me, how could it be so rude?" Haboba explained.
The other party is a fourth-level priest, and it is likely that he will enter the fifth level, even as a lord, he maintains a certain amount of respect.
Reverend Jot smiled, and when he saw that Haboba looked a little haggard, he asked, "Lord Earl, are you worried about the war?"
"Exactly! I wonder if Pastor Chot came to me this time because he had some news?" Haboba hurriedly said, "The news of the battlefield has been cut off for two days. ”
Pastor Jot shook his head and sighed: "On the contrary, I haven't received any news in the past two days, and I originally wanted to inquire about you, but it turns out that you are the same. ”
"Alas!" Both of them sighed at the same time.
To say, this kind of situation is really rare, the team sent out in the past has always been smooth sailing in the battle, but this time, there is a different situation, and they are a little worried in their hearts for a while.
I've long been accustomed to hearing the news of victory from the front, and this time there is suddenly no news, which is really a depressing thing.
"Pastor Jot, do you think this incident happened unexpectedly? Haboba thought for a while, and simply said his thoughts: "This battle, at the beginning, was quite smooth, but a few days ago, there was suddenly no news, will it ...... It's our team, what happened?"
"I think the same way, if our team doesn't encounter anything special, then even if they don't win, but, every day, report the news back, it can still be done, but, in the past two days, their contact with us has been completely cut off, I'm really a little worried!" Pastor Jot, who had always seemed calm in the world, couldn't help but show a look of worry at this time.
"However, it is also possible that we are overthinking, knowing that under the light of our Lord "we have always been invincible, and this time will be no exception!" Seeing Pastor Jot's look of concern, Haboba laughed and spoke.
Looking at Haboba, Pastor Jot nodded and said, "Maybe you're right, we're worrying too much.
Standing up, Pastor Jot said, "I still have something, go back first, I'll tell you if there's any news." ”
"Well, I have news from here, and I will inform Pastor Jot immediately. Haboba then stood up and went to the door, saying.
The two of them chatted a few more words, and Pastor Jot stopped Haboba from sending it out, saying, "Just send it here, I don't dare to treat the lord like this!"
After saying that, he walked out.
A few church attendants waiting outside the second gate protected Pastor Jot's way out.
After walking out of the lord's mansion, Pastor Jot sighed softly.
Maybe it was a hunch, he always felt that this battle had cast a lot of shadows.
If this battle really fails, one can imagine what kind of situation will arise in the territory of the god Romone!
The territory that has just been consolidated is only afraid that there will be some turmoil again
That's why Pastor Jot is so worried, if only because of the loss of some people.
What he was worried about was that if the news of defeat really came, the hearts of the people in the territory would not be shaken.
"Oh no, Pastor Jot, there's news from the front that our army has suffered heavy losses!"
However, the more he was afraid of any news, the more news would spread, and as soon as Pastor Jot returned to the temple, someone reported such news to him.
"Our army suffered heavy losses?"
After hearing the news, although Pastor Chot had already been mentally prepared, his body still trembled, and his heart sank.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Our army failed to lead in Joel, and the other side appeared to guide five evil gods, as well as part of the army, resulting in a great defeat for our army!"
"In the port city, the messenger is Bishop Khamrongpa, and he has issued a new order to you to prepare the Church in advance. ”
Hearing that Bishop Kannrongpa was safe and sound, Pastor Jot breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Bishop Kannompa is okay, the situation in the territory and the church will not deteriorate too much.
However, when he read the new order, he couldn't help but change color slightly.
"Lure the snake out?" Pastor Jot muttered under his breath, waved the order to burn, and looked out thoughtfully.
