nAlmost 9 am at St. Servant, Cardinal Monn put on the Red Robe of the Orthodox Church.
n
n
nHe took Ace to Preston.
n
n
n
n
nAs soon as they walked up the wall, Cardinal Monn and Ace saw a brand new wall.
n
n
nAfter a night of restoration by the Holy Knights, the whole wall looked much more complete than it had been yesterday.
n
n
nIt finally looked like a big city.
n
n
nOtherwise, its ruined look yesterday wouldn’t have looked like a city with a Orthodox Church.
n
n
n
n
nCardinal Monn nodded in satisfaction.
n
n
nIt seemed that they hadn’t slacked off last night.
n
n
nUpon seeing Cardinal Monn arrived, Philip, who had been waiting here for a long time, hurried towards him.
n
n
nHe bowed and said, “Lord Cardinal Monn and Your Highness Saintess Ace.”
n
n
n
n
nCardinal Monn and Ace nodded slightly.
n
n
nThen Philip straightened up and reported to Cardinal Monn, “Lord Cardinal Monn, the task of repairing the city wall is almost complete. The only thing missing is the city gate.”
n
n
nCardinal Monn nodded, indicating that he understood.
n
n
nBut the matter of the city gate was actually not urgent.
n
n
nTo build a golden city gate, one had to use a special metal.
n
n
nAnd there had to be a blacksmith who could forge and shape this metal to make it into the shape of a door.
n
n
n
n
nBut this kind of metal was all in the Kingdom’s treasury.
n
n
nIt was not commonly seen.
n
n
nMoreover, most blacksmiths who could forge this kind of metal lived in the King’s city.
n
n
nSo the matter of the city gate still had to be settled by the Kingdom.
n
n
nThey could only wait, so this was not urgent.
n
n
nFor the moment, they just had to restore the city wall to its original appearance.
n
n
nPhilip saw that Cardinal Monn did not have any objections, he continued to report, “Last night, the Werewolves launched another attack on Preston. However, because Lord Cardinal Monn’s sword was blocking in front of the city gate, they did not dare to go forward. There was only one who wanted to cross more than ten meters to dodge the attack of the flames, but he was easily extinguished by the flames of the divine sword.”
n
n
nNo one knew the name of Elendil.
n
n
n
n
nBecause Cardinal Monn had never told them the name of the sword.
n
n
nBut in their hearts, they had long recognized this sword as the divine fire sword.
n
n
nThe divine sword was the name they had agreed on.
n
n
nWhen Cardinal Monn heard Philip’s report, he wasn’t surprised at all.
n
n
nAfter all, Cardinal Monn knew about the Werewolf’s attack.
n
n
nYesterday, when he got off work, the Werewolves happened to attack.
n
n
nHowever, Cardinal Monn didn’t ask the Holy Knights to face the enemy. Instead, he asked them to continue repairing the city wall.
n
n
nFirstly, Cardinal Monn wanted to dampen the Holy Knights’ spirit.
n
n
nAfter experiencing the last battle in St. Servant, this group of Holy Knights had an inexplicable confidence in their hearts.
n
n
nThis kind of mentality was not good in Cardinal Monn’s eyes.
n
n
nSecondly, the Werewolves’ overall strength would be strengthened by the moonlight at night.
n
n
nIt was not worth to fight against them.
n
n
nIt was better to wait for the Werewolves’ strength to return to normal during the day.
n
n
n
n
nThen, they would attack the Werewolves, so the werewolves would not have any advantage.
n
n
n“Do you have specific information about the Werewolves?”
n
n
nCardinal Monn asked calmly.
n
n
nHe didn’t want to delay any longer.
n
n
nThe number of Werewolves was about the same as the human.
n
n
nIn addition, during the day, the Werewolves did not have any advantage over them. On the contrary, he had an angel’s horn that could be a benefit to the soldiers, and also the soldiers’ morale was high now.
n
n
nIt was best to finish off the Werewolves quickly.
n
n
nPhilip heard Cardinal Monn’s words, lowering his head, he replied, “Last night, I had sent some Holy Knights to track the Werewolves’ whereabouts. However, they were afraid that the Werewolves would smell them if they were too close, so they observed from a distance and saw the Werewolves entering a jungle southwest of Preston.”
n
n
nAs the leader of the Holy Knights from Orthodox Church, Philip’s strength was only at the Amethyst Rank.
n
n
nHowever, his strategic vision was very far-sighted.
n
n
nHe knew that Cardinal Monn would ask about the Werewolves’ whereabouts today, so he had sent people to keep an eye on them.
n
n
nCardinal Monn was very satisfied with Philip’s work.
n
n
nThis saved him the time taken to fly around and search for the Werewolves.
n
n
n“Since that’s the case, let the warriors prepare to surround and annihilate the Werewolves.”
n
n
nCardinal Monn said lightly.
n
n
nHearing Cardinal Monn’s words, Philip was instantly delighted.
n
n
nThey, the Holy Knights that had come all the way from St. Servant were finally able to go to the battlefield.
n
n
nJust as he was rejoicing in his heart, he heard Cardinal Monn say again, “Oh yes, the Holy Knights from St. Servant should hold the rear line, ready to rescue the warriors in distress at any time.”
n
n
nHearing this, Philip was stunned.
n
n
nThey were such a powerful group of Holy Knights, yet they were going to be a support team?
n
n
nThis made Philip very puzzled.
n
n
nShouldn’t they be placed at the front of the battlefield, charging forward and breaking up the Werewolf Army?
n
n
nHowever, looking at Cardinal Monn’s calm expression, Philip opened his mouth, but did not dare to say anything.
n
n
nHe thought for a moment and decided to support the battle team.
n
n
nIn any case, they could still kill Werewolves.
n
n
nHe did not believe that there was any group of Holy Knights that could pierce through the Werewolf Army alone like them.
n
n
nThere would always be a team that needed support.
n
n
nAt that time, wouldn’t they still be able to go onto the battlefield and kill Werewolves?
n
n
nThinking of this, although he felt that Cardinal Monn’s arrangement was unreasonable, he did not say anything in the end.
n
n
nAs long as he could kill the enemy.
n
n
nWhatever he had to do.
n
n
nBut the next moment, Philip felt that he was wrong.
n
n
nAs the warriors gathered, Cardinal Monn took out the angel’s horn that he had been holding in his arms.
n
n
nWhen Cardinal Monn took out a horn, Philip did not quite understand what it meant.
n
n
nBut when the magnificant and powerful sound resounded throughout Preston, Philip knew from the sudden surge of power and fervor in his body.
n
n
nHis Holy Knights might really not be able to fight on the battlefield.
n
n
nHe clenched his fists.
n
n
nA surge of power spread out.
n
n
nHe said in disbelief, “With this power, it’s impossible to lose to a Werewolf, right?”
n
n
nWas their support still needed?
n
n
nAt this moment, Philip felt as if he had been manipulated by Cardinal Monn.
n
n
nBut he had no other choice.
n
n
nAfter all, he had already agreed.
n
n
nAs the horn sounded, the warriors received buffs one after another. Under Cardinal Monn’s command, they charged towards the Werewolves.
n
n
nOne of the Holy Knights from St. Servant said to Philip excitedly, “I didn’t expect Lord Cardinal Monn to have such a good thing. Now, I can’t wait to pierce through the Werewolves.”
n
n
nPhilip’s face turned even darker when he heard that.
n
n
nHe glanced at the Holy Knight and said, “Lord Cardinal Monn has ordered that our group of Holy Knights from St. Servant is only a support force in this war.”
n
n
nHearing this, the Holy Knight was instantly stunned.
