nWhy was he smiling?

nThis question arose in everyone’s mind.

nAt this moment, they suddenly realized that Cardinal Monn, who was sprawled on the city wall, was also smiling.

n

n

nThey could not help but follow Cardinal Monn’s gaze and look over.

nWhat they saw was the Holy Knights who were bitterly resisting.

nWhy were they smiling?

nThis doubt once again appeared in the hearts of everyone.

n

n

nAt this moment, they heard Cardinal Monn suddenly say, “Philip, you guys are finally starting to behave.”

n“Yes! Lord Cardinal Monn!”

nWhen Philip heard Cardinal Monn’s praise, he instantly stood up straight and replied loudly.

nThe tears that had been rolling in his eyes finally could not help but fall out.

n

n

nAt this moment, he really wanted those brothers who were still fighting on the battlefield to hear Cardinal Monn’s words!

nUnfortunately, they might never be able to hear these words.

nThe people who heard Cardinal Monn’s words were even more puzzled.

nAce could not help but ask, “What does this mean?”

nHearing this, Cardinal Monn did not explain anything. Instead, he continued to look at the battlefield.

nA wisp of light wind gently blew up his hair, revealing his cold side profile.

n

n

nIt was Philip who heard the Saintess’ question. He explained, “When Lord Cardinal Monn first took over us, at that time, we were greedy, afraid of death, and lazy. Other than our strength, there was nothing that could match the Holy Knight’s name.”

nAfter saying that, Philip paused for a moment, then looked at the battlefield and continued, “And now we…”

nPhilip didn’t say anything. He just quietly looked at his brothers on the battlefield.

nEveryone followed his gaze and looked at the battlefield.

nAt this moment, there was no need for Philip to say anything. In their hearts, some words that they had seen from these Holy Knights instantly appeared.

nHeroism, sacrifice, glory, and so on.

nAfter knowing the story behind these Holy Knights, Ace, Sheryl, and even General Barton were moved.

nEspecially Ace.

n

n

nWhen she thought of what Philip said about cowardice, fear of death, and laziness, she immediately thought of the Holy Knights in the past.

nThe purpose of the Orthodox Church was to be the light and to protect.

nAlthough the Holy Knights also performed this duty very well, what Ace saw was indeed more of laziness and fear of death.

nDespite being the Holy Knights, they were first and foremost human beings.

nAnd of course, human beings would cower in fear of death.

nHoly Knight: Noble, bright, and holy.

nSuch qualities were indeed very rare in the Knights of the Orthodox Church.

nAnd this group of Holy Knights, personally trained by Cardinal Monn, instantly overthrew the title of a Holy Knight.

nAce felt that the previous Holy Knights should not be called Holy Knights.

nThey were just knights.

nThey would fight to protect their homeland and protect the humans.

nBut they did not have the qualities of a Holy Knight.

nAt this moment, as the Saintess of the Orthodox Church, she suddenly had the idea to reform the Holy Knights.

n

n

nOf course, this was only an idea. If she wanted to implement it, she needed the Pope’s consent.

nBut this idea was deeply embedded in the bottom of Ace’s heart.

nWhen the war was over, she would definitely suggest it to the Pope.

nEven the Kingdom’s eldest Princess Sheryl and General Barton were moved by this story.

nAt the same time, they looked at the Cardinal with even more admiration.

nAfter all, if he did not have such a noble quality, why would he think that all his Holy Knights should have such quality?

nAlthough he had a strange habit of working from 9 to 5, it was nothing in this glorious image.

nCardinal Monn did not know what the people next to him imagined.

nIf he knew, although he would not say anything, he would be puzzled.

nWhat did the qualities of a Holy Knight have to do with a Cardinal like him?

nWeren’t the Cardinals only responsible for the safety of the civilians under the Church and the protection of justice and faith?

nOf course, Cardinal Monn did not know what they were thinking.

nHe looked at the brave Holy Knights and suddenly thought of the promotion the Pope had told him about.

nHe was going to be Pope in another place soon.

nIf he wanted to train a group of such Holy Knights, it would still take a lot of time.

nWhy not apply to Andrew and transfer them under the banner of Cardinal Monn?

nWhen recruiting Holy Knights, he would just let these seniors train them, which would save him a lot of time and trouble.

nAnyway, Cardinal Monn had trained them personally, so it shouldn’t be too much to take them away, right?

nCardinal Monn thought for a moment and thought of Andrew’s kind gaze.

nHe shouldn’t mind, right?

nYes, he shouldn’t.

nThus, Cardinal Monn said, “Philip, when the war is over, bring them to report to me.”

n“Report?”

nPhilip, who was reminiscing about the past, was stunned when he heard Cardinal Monn’s words.

nFor a moment, he didn’t understand what Cardinal Monn meant.

nSeeing that he was puzzled, Cardinal Monn thought that he did not understand what he meant, so he explained, “I’m about to go to another place to become Pope. When the time comes, all of you will follow me.”

n“???”

nAfter saying this, Philip was even more puzzled.

nRegarding Cardinal Monn becoming a Pope, he did not have any doubts. After all, in his view, with Cardinal Monn’s strength and achievements, becoming Pope was only a matter of time.

nThe main thing was to see if the Orthodox Church had a new church.

nHowever, he was very doubtful about Cardinal Monn asking them to report to him.

nThey had clearly been surrounded by Werewolves, and it was obvious that they were on the verge of death. How could they report to him?

nInstead, it was Ace who reacted.

nWhat Cardinal Monn meant was that he would not let these Holy Knights die here.

nAs for Cardinal Monn’s strength, Ace did not have the slightest doubt.

nSince Cardinal Monn had the confidence to save these Holy Knights, then he would definitely save them.

nAt this moment, Ace finally heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.

nShe also did not wish for these brave men who displayed the true qualities of Holy Knights to just flash in the eyes of humans and die on the battlefield with the Werewolves.

nHowever, she was speechless at the words of Cardinal Monn who wanted to take them away.

nDid he get the consent of Pope Andrew? He looked like he wanted to take them away.

nPope Andrew would be too miserable.

nGeneral Barton and Sheryl also had some speculations when they understood Cardinal Monn’s meaning.

nCould it be that Cardinal Monn wanted to save them?

nGeneral Barton was bewildered.

nPhilip, who had been in a daze for a long time, also came back to his senses. He had some guesses and could not help but ask nervously, “Lord Cardinal Monn , are you going to… ?”

nHearing Philip’s question, Cardinal Monn finally understood his doubts. He immediately chuckled and said, “How could the Holy Knights that I personally taught be so ephemeral?”

n
