Chapter 885: Chapter 733: Our Side Gains Another Member

The person captured was none other than the White-robed Bishop.

Not only was one of his arms gruesomely severed, his body was covered in wounds and blood, clearly having been tortured previously, but certainly not by the virtuous Order of the Sun Knights.

The Sun Knights would not engage in such acts.

Therefore, it must have been Zuo Fang’s doing.

After all, this Chief had essentially committed treason.

“How did it turn out like this?”

Xu Shuo stood up from the conference table, walked over to the White-robed Bishop lying motionless on the floor, and crouched beside him for a closer look.

Zuo Fang sneered from the side, “This man was not honest. He had items for communication on him, which led to another ambush by the Imperial Army after we entered the Eastern Continent. I was almost hurt by him; otherwise, I would have contacted you last night.”

The day before.

The Order of the Sun Knights was still trapped in a valley but eventually found an opportunity to break the formation and escaped, and that dragon went after the elves.

Knowing that the coronation ceremony was scheduled for the next day, Zuo Fang did not stop at all, leading the Order of the Sun Knights straight to the Royal Capital.

Unexpectedly, they were ambushed again en route.

If the ambush in the mountain range was a miscalculation.

But this time.

Zuo Fang did not believe that the enemy always knew their exact route.

During this attack, the White-robed Bishop attempted to escape. Zuo Fang caught him and beat him severely before conducting another search, finally discovering that he had been secretly communicating with the enemy camp all along.

It was because of this oversight.

That their team had not slept for two days.

The more Zuo Fang thought about it, the angrier he became.

So he beat the man up again.

Xu Shuo sneered, “After being ambushed twice, you only then decided to solve the problem. Why didn’t you just die there?”

Zuo Fang immediately felt displeased, “This man hid things very cleverly. If it weren’t for my coincidence in discovering his communications this time, even if you came, you wouldn’t have found the issue!”

Xu Shuo looked up at him, “I mean, you should’ve made sure he had no chance to be conscious again the moment you caught him.”

Zuo Fang was choked up, “…”

The person lying on the ground without a sound twitched.

The main reason for bringing this man back was that he had been involved with the Far North before, and might still know about the dealings between Wald XVIII and the Ice and Snow Elves, hence the need to ensure the man was brought back alive for interrogation.

But being alive was one thing.

The fact that the other party being alive brought trouble to their own people was another matter.

Compared to that.

The still unconscious Sola was much more well-behaved.

Xu Shuo reached out and grabbed the man’s hair, and while lifting his head, the other party still remained with his eyes tightly closed, showing no signs of movement.

“How long has he been unconscious?” Xu Shuo asked.

“Not long, just from last night until now,” Zuo Fang murmured from the side.

“If he can’t wake up, just chop it off.”

“Hey, you’re saying to chop off the one I brought back after all that hard work?”

“Can’t bother to treat him.”

Zuo Fang clicked his tongue.

After saying that, Xu Shuo released his grip, and the man’s head hit the floor with a bang, the sound of a free-falling head striking the floor directly.

Thump—

Zuo Fang drew his Knight’s Sword from the side.

But before the sword could fall, the half-dead man on the ground had already opened his eyes, his bloodshot eyes glaring intensely at the person in front of him.

Zuo Fang paused in his sword-raising posture, “Oh, you’re awake now.”

So he put his Knight’s Sword back away.

The White-robed Bishop gritted his teeth, retracted his furious gaze, and turned his head to the side, only to see the golden Sun Crown Helmet.

Xu Shuo’s lips curled up, “As the Church of Light’s most faithful believer, you’ve not easily reached the position of bishop. Why choose to betray the Church of Light at this time?”

The White-robed Bishop looked at him warily, “Either kill me or slice me up, spare me the nonsense.”

His voice was hoarse and grim, and his throat, long deprived of food or water, raspy and torn. After uttering a sentence, he coughed up quite a few strands of blood.

“The more I talk, the longer I live,” Xu Shuo smiled.

“…” The White-robed Bishop fell silent.

The atmosphere in the study suddenly quieted down.

Xu Shuo pulled a chair from behind the conference table, sat down beside it, and leisurely leaned on the armrest to watch him.

He did not seem to be in a hurry.

Zuo Fang was even less rushed; he scanned around, saw that there were no outsiders in the study who would pretend otherwise, so he pulled over a chair and sat down to wait.

The only one standing, Catalina: “…”

She looked left and right.

Determined the identity of a Sun Knight.

Then determined the identity of the Pope of Light.

In the end, she sadly realized she seemingly had no right to sit.

She was now merely a captive.

After a long pause.

Seeing that the White-robed Bishop remained silent.

Zuo Fang spoke up, “If he doesn’t want to talk, let it be. We’re already this far; how about we just send troops directly?”

Xu Shuo opened his mouth.

But before he could say anything, the White-robed Bishop on the ground already stirred action by speaking first.

“I actually don’t know much.”

After Zuo Fang mocked him.

Probably worried about Xu Shuo making a decision on his fate directly.

The White-robed Bishop then said, “I was only ordered to go to the Far North Mountain Range to assist the Elf Clan. As for the rest, Wald XVIII did not inform me.”

Zuo Fang continued, “See, he knows nothing. Bringing him here was utterly redundant.”

The White-robed Bishop fiercely glared at him.

Zuo Fang immediately chuckled, “Woah, that glaring matches even a Little Elf, too bad you’re a man; our Bright Pontiff most likely has no intention of keeping you.”

Catalina at the side: “???”

Xu Shuo, ignoring Zuo Fang’s teasing, merely stroked his chin in thought then asked, “Do you know what the Ice and Snow Elves’ purpose in the Amiciya Mountains is?”

As he finished speaking, the expression of the White-robed Bishop turned elusive.

Zuo Fang opened his mouth to speak again.

The White-robed Bishop then gritted his teeth and said, “The aim of the Ice and Snow Elves is your City of Light. The Imperial Army will collaborate with the Ice and Snow Elves; Wald XVIII will lure you out of the City of Light, then the Ice and Snow Elves will launch an attack on the city. Without your presence in the city, it will not withstand.”

Xu Shuo arched an eyebrow, “Why do you think the City of Light is so important to me? Don’t forget, aside from me, there’s still the Holy Maiden in the city.”

“I don’t know about these…”

“Just confine or kill him then,”

Zuo Fang impatiently drew his Knight’s Sword, “Talking as if we couldn’t guess these things, what a waste of time!”

The White-robed Bishop wasn’t rushing this time.

He just said calmly, “Even if you kill me, it’s useless. All I know is that there is also a spy from the Empire in the City of Light who will collaborate inside and out with the Ice and Snow Elves to take over the City of Light.”

Zuo Fang pointed the sword at him, “The identity of the spy then?”

The White-robed Bishop: “I don’t know.”

Clang!

The Knight’s Sword shimmered with the Power of Light, golden radiance forming a sharp and dangerous blade edge.

The blade edge had already sliced his throat.

The White-robed Bishop immediately angrily said, “What do you think my role is? Can I just know everything as I wish? Bloody hell, my only task was to act as a spy passing on messages! I’m responsible for investigating the Papal’s actions, and the spy in the City of Light handles the Holy Maiden, it’s division of labor, don’t you understand? Pfft!”

It was apparent he was truly furious.

After speaking that long message, he was so angered that he coughed blood, his face pale as cabbage.
