As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime - Chapter 111
Chapter 111: Reinforcements
It was a sunny day.
After receiving their new job, Cardinal Monn and Ace made their way to Preston.
Soon, when they arrived at Preston, Cardinal Monn and Ace saw the city was divided into two parts.
On the outskirts of the city, there was a sea of Werewolves.
Opposite them were members of the Orthodox Church and soldiers of the Kingdom, who had set up a light barrier.
The holy light barrier slightly blocked the Werewolves’ advance.
The Werewolves let out excited howls and fiercely smashed their attacks onto the holy light barrier of the Holy Knights.
The barrier received the attacks and let out a sound that sounded like a wail.
The light of the entire barrier began to tremble uncontrollably.
From this, it could be seen that the Holy Knights were almost unable to hold on any longer.
But they did not retreat.
They still gritted their teeth and stood firmly at the front.
Behind them were the people who were fleeing towards the inner city of the Kingdom.
Since Preston had fallen, at least the people who survived had to be let out of this place that was about to fall into hell.
Cardinal Monn observed for a while, then his gaze fell on the Werewolf army across from him.
Behind them, countless people, like cattle and sheep, were tied together by the Werewolves.
As the Werewolf army moved, they were dragged away by the Werewolves.
Cardinal Monn, who was so far away, could hear the cries very clearly.
Cardinal Monn even saw with his own eyes that a Werewolf was beginning to feel annoyed by the cries of humans.
He directly beheaded him with a knife.
The cries stopped abruptly.
The humans watched as the people around them lost their heads in an instant.
They held back the sounds they were about to make because they were afraid.
Their entire bodies couldn’t stop trembling, afraid that they would be the next person to lose their heads.
When the Werewolves saw this scene, they immediately laughed out loud.
There was cruelty in their expressions. “As food, you have to look like food.”
Cardinal Monn, who was far away, could see this scene. His brows furrowed into a frown.
“Damn it!”
When Ace saw this scene, she was extremely furious.
Her originally rosy face was also white with anger.
However, she was unable to do anything.
She did not have the ability to instantly rush to that person’s side.
Nor did she have the ability to bring them away from the Werewolves.
Even Cardinal Monn was the same.
Although he had the ability to walk in space, that place did not have his spatial coordinates.
Moreover, even if he had the spatial coordinates, it was impossible for Cardinal Monn to bring them all out in one go.
His holy energy could not support this consumption at all.
“Let’s go down.”
Cardinal Monn’s calm voice sounded with a hint of coldness.
Ace took a deep breath and suppressed her anger.
She nodded and followed Cardinal Monn to the Orthodox Church.
“Who are you?!”
As soon as they landed, someone noticed Cardinal Monn and Ace.
The Holy Knights who were on high alert immediately pointed their Holy Spears at them.
When they saw their faces clearly, the Holy Knights’ expressions relaxed.
They recognized Ace. “So it’s the Saintess and the Cardinal. I apologize.”
The Holy Knight’s apologetic words rang out.
Ace waved her hand, indicating that she did not mind.
Although they knew Her Highness the Saintess, they did not know Cardinal Monn.
Fortunately, Cardinal Monn was wearing the cardinal’s exclusive clothing. In addition, he had come together with Her Highness the Saintess, so they did not doubt his authenticity.
Seeing that Cardinal Monn had no intention to speak, Ace said to the Holy Knight, “We are here to support Preston under the orders of His Holiness the Pope. Can you take us to see Pope Elton?”
Hearing that the Saintess was here to support them under the orders of His Holiness the Pope, the Holy Knight was quite happy, thinking that Preston might be saved.
But after looking for a long time, he still did not see anyone else following behind Her Highness the Saintess.
He was instantly disappointed.
Although Her Highness the Saintess was a Holy Rank powerhouse, it was useless to only bring a cardinal here.
There was an army of 100,000 Werewolves on the other side.
Even a Holy Rank powerhouse would probably be torn to pieces.
Moreover, there were Holy Rank powerhouses on the Werewolves’ side.
Even Pope Elton was seriously injured yesterday.
Although he was disappointed, the Holy Knight only thought about it. He nodded and said yes, then brought Cardinal Monn and Ace to meet Elton.
When he heard Elton’s name, Cardinal Monn immediately knew why this Preston sounded familiar.
It was the Pope who had expressed dissatisfaction with him during the incident in the magical beast forest.
Although that Pope might have had a problem with him, Cardinal Monn did not care.
In addition, this was a war of life and death. Cardinal Monn naturally did not care what Pope Elton previously held against him.
The two of them followed the Holy Knight all the way to Preston Church.
This Preston Church could be considered lucky.
It was built in the innermost part of Preston.
Thus, it did not suffer much damage after the Werewolves broke through Preston’s walls.
It was still intact.
They came to Elton’s place.
The Holy Knight gently knocked on the door and asked, “Your Holiness Elton, the members of the Orthodox Church that was sent by His Holiness the Pope to support us have arrived.”
“Quick, let them in quickly!”
A somewhat dispirited voice came from inside.
However, that voice sounded excited when it heard that the people who came to support had arrived.
When the Holy Knight heard Pope Elton’s words, he opened the door, moved aside, and lowered his head slightly.
Ace glanced at Cardinal Monn. Seeing that Cardinal Monn nodded slightly, she walked in first.
In the room, Elton hurriedly stood up to welcome Her Highness the Saintess when he saw her walked in.
However, when he saw Cardinal Monn behind the Saintess, his expression instantly froze.
He had a very deep impression of this red-robed man.
At that time, he felt that Cardinal Monn was really too arrogant. He did not take the Pope and the Orthodox Church’s rules seriously at all.
He had targeted him many times.
However, at this time, Elton did not have the mood to judge Cardinal Monn. Moreover, he was here to support them.
After thinking it through, Elton’s face broke into a smile once again.
Cardinal Monn sized up this Pope Elton.
Although he did not have any exterior wound, his entire aura seemed to be very dispirited.
His strength as a advanced-level Holy Rank had also decreased.
It was obvious that he had suffered internal injuries.
Elton did not notice Cardinal Monn’s gaze. His old eyes stared intently at the Saintess as he asked expectantly, “Your Highness, I wonder how many troops you have brought this time?”
After the recent battle, Preston had lost a lot of troops.
It was not easy for them to get reinforcements. Elton wanted to hear the exact number.
When Ace heard Elton’s words, she paused and said, “It’s just me and Cardinal Monn.”
Elton was stunned on the spot.
