n“General, no… Why don’t we ask Monn to come over? Maybe he’ll have some ideas.”

n

n

nThe deputy’s careful tone sounded in the meeting room.

n

n

n

n

nThe deputy was very tactful. He didn’t say that Monn would definitely take care of the werewolves if he came, just that he might have some ideas, afraid that he might accidentally get on General Barton’s nerves.

n

n

nWhen Barton heard the deputy’s words, the veins on his forehead twitched slightly.

n

n

nHe thought about Monn, who was still showing off his might today, realizing that even though calling him would not be able to completely take care of the werewolves, it would at least be able to make the werewolves stop for a while and allow his soldiers to rest.

n

n

nHowever, when he thought of Cardinal Monn’s attitude, he felt that he did not want to ask this irresponsible person for help.

n

n

n

n

nIn addition, he also had a slight conflict with the Saintess of the Righteous Sect, so he could not bring himself to ask them for help.

n

n

nStill…

n

n

nThinking of how Her Holiness the Saintess had specially sent someone to inform them that they were off duty, Barton could not help but think.

n

n

nBased on their behavior, even if he went, would Monn and the others really come back?

n

n

n

n

nAfter all, it was already past five o’clock.

n

n

nAccording to what Monn said, he had already gotten off work.

n

n

nThinking of this, Barton waved his hand and said, “Let’s think of another way.”

n

n

nWhen the deputy heard this, he lowered his head in disappointment, thinking that General Barton was still angry with Monn and the others.

n

n

nWhat he didn’t know was that Barton only felt there was a high chance that Monn and the others would reject him if he asked them to come over.

n

n

nInstead of being rejected, it would be better for him to think of other methods.

n

n

n

n

nGeneral Barton thought for a moment and ordered, “Get the soldiers to return to the city. Don’t engage in hand-to-hand combat with the werewolves. We humans will be at a disadvantage if we fight at night.”

n

n

nHe then paused for a moment and continued, “When the soldiers return, get the long-range soldiers to go up and see if they can stop the attack of the Wolf Warlocks.”

n

n

nIn fact, the Wolf Warlocks and the long-range army of the kingdom were similar in nature.

n

n

nThey were all mages who used long-range spells.

n

n

nThe difference was just that the Wolf Warlocks were proficient in elemental spells, while the long-range soldiers of their kingdom was proficient in spells exclusive to the kingdom.

n

n

nGeneral Barton did not expect the long-range army of their kingdom to be able to defeat the Wolf Warlocks of the enemy. As long as they could intercept their spells and not let them harm the defensive formation, it would be fine.

n

n

nHearing General Barton’s orders, the deputy lowered his head and said, “Yes, General Barton!”

n

n

nThe deputy walked out of the meeting room and looked at the night sky which slightly red from the reflection of the Red Moon and sighed in his heart. This was the only way.

n

n

n

n

nHe passed down General Barton’s orders.

n

n

nThe success rate of the entire kingdom’s army in executing the General’s orders was very high.

n

n

nSoon, the soldiers who were fighting with the werewolves on the battlefield had retreated to the city gate while pushing back the werewolves.

n

n

nWithout the werewolves’ chasing them, they quickly retreated into the city gate of St. Servant.

n

n

nThe long-range soldiers who had already stood on the city wall began to chant spells.

n

n

nThe city protection formation quickly opened up in front of them.

n

n

nIt added a trace of holy light to the dark night.

n

n

nIn the next moment, countless golden one-handed swords made of magic power quickly flew towards the werewolves who wanted to rush into the city at the moment the formation opened fully.

n

n

nBoom! Boom! Boom!

n

n

nCountless booming sounds went off.

n

n

nSmoke and dust instantly covered everyone’s vision.

n

n

nWhen the dust dispersed, dozens of werewolf corpses appeared in front of the city gate.

n

n

nIn the next moment, the defensive magical formation of St. Servant rose again, and an ice-blue light flashed once again.

n

n

n

n

nSeeing this scene, General Wolf could not help but get furious again.

n

n

nHe roared, “Wolf Warlocks, quickly break that broken magical formation for me!”

n

n

nThe Wolf Warlocks saw that General Wolf was furious, so they quickly opened the formation and increased their power trying to break St. Servant’s spell.

n

n

nPerhaps it was because they had consumed too much magical power during the day when they faced the flames cast by Monn, so their spells were easily blocked by the royal soldiers.

n

n

nAlthough a few of them still hit the protective formation, they only caused the protective formation to shake slightly.

n

n

nThis situation continued until the next day.

n

n

nIn the morning, Monn slowly woke up.

n

n

nWhen he opened his eyes, he saw the dazzling morning light.

n

n

nHe stretched and lazily washed up.

n

n

nAfter breakfast, Monn, who had nothing to do, saw the fishing rod in the corner of the living room. Only then did he remember that it had been a long time since he last went fishing.

n

n

nMonn looked up at his watch. Seeing that it was still early, he changed into some casual clothes and took the fishing rod out.

n

n

nAce, who had just finished washing the dishes, saw him and hurriedly followed him. “Monn, what are you going to do?”

n

n

nAce couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled. He had never seen Monn go out at this time of the day.

n

n

nMonn waved the fishing rod in his hand and said, “Going fishing.”

n

n

nGoing Fishing?

n

n

nAce followed Monn with confusion.

n

n

nThey came to the place where Monn often went fishing.

n

n

nThere used to be a lot of people fishing in this place.

n

n

nBut now because of the werewolves’ attack on St. Servant, no one dared to leave their house.

n

n

nThere was no one at the lakeside now.

n

n

nThey could even hear the roars from the north of St. Servant.

n

n

nThe roars continued throughout whole night, resulting in the residents of St. Servant being unable to sleep.

n

n

nEvery day, they were on tenterhooks, afraid that the werewolves would suddenly rush in.

n

n

nHowever, Monn did not feel uncomfortable about it. He even slept very comfortably the previous night.

n

n

nWhen he woke up in the morning, he thought that he had returned to his previous life.

n

n

nHe put down the fishing rod and hung the exquisite bait rewarded by the system on the hook.

n

n

nHe threw the fishing line into the lake.

n

n

nLooking at the empty lakeside, Monn thought to himself, “There’s no one here today. Let’s see if I can catch any fish this time.”

n

n

nHe deeply suspected that the reason he couldn’t catch any fish before was because there were too many fishermen before.

n

n

nBeside him, Ace looked at Monn’s professional posture and couldn’t help but say, “You really know how to fish!”

n

n

nHearing Ace’s exclamation, Monn couldn’t help but snort, “Of course, I’m the best at fishing in this area.”

n

n

n“Then let’s catch a few fish today and have an all-fish feast tonight!”

n

n

nAce sat next to Monn and stared at the floating fish with anticipation.

n

n

nMonn didn’t consider the situation that he wouldn’t be able to catch any fish. He said confidently, “Don’t worry, I’ll let you eat so much fish that you vomit tonight!”

n

n

nHearing Monn’s confidence, Ace could not help but look forward to it even more. She even thought about how it would be serving the fish.

n

n

nIt was not until an hour had passed that Ace could not help but wonder, “Um, do you really know how to fish?”

n

n

nMonn looked at the empty bucket and the motionless fishing rod, and his face froze.
