As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime Chapter 138
Advertisement
"That's right, it's almost dark now and it's time for dinner. Could it be that Lord Zach did it on purpose?"
The Sun gradually set in the west, illuminating the entire horizon in red.
In the forest, the green eyes of the Werewolves made people's hearts freeze.
Hearing the Werewolf's question, Zach was shocked.
This was only their guess, but this sentence really shocked him.
Although Zach didn't have such thoughts, the Devil's summoning scroll was indeed given to Morris by him.
So this sentence made him feel a little guilty.
For a moment, the tone of his voice was not as strong as before.
But the matter of attacking Preston could not be given up.
This was a matter that concerned his future.
He rolled his eyes and said, "I think you guys are scared out of your wits!"
This sentence immediately made the Werewolves furious.
However, they could not say anything to refute him.
Seeing that everyone was stunned by him, Zach continued, "You guys only think of that Devil, but have you ever thought why those humans are still alive if that Devil is still in Preston?"
The Werewolves were stunned when they heard this.
That's right, if that Devil was still there, why didn't he eat those humans?
It couldn't be that those humans had fought and chased the Devil away, right?
This thought flashed through their minds, and they shook their heads in amusement.
How could it be? That Devil was terrifying, and no one could withstand His attack.
Thinking of this, the Werewolves' eyes lit up again.
Seeing this, Zach was delighted and hurriedly said, "Moreover, we have already taken down Preston, but we were scared out of our wits by that Devil. If the Wolf King finds out about this, have you thought about the consequences?"

This sentence made the Werewolves' faces change again.
The thoughts of the Wolf King's cruelty, the Werewolves shuddered.
They gritted their teeth and hurriedly said, "Lord Zach! We will listen to you! We will attack Preston now!"
"Yes! Attack! Take back our territory!!"
"Take back our territory!!"
Thinking of the miserable end of those killed Werewolves, the Werewolves were instantly excited.
They were all excited.
Seeing this, Zach nodded his head in satisfaction.
It was worth his effort to persuade them to listen to his orders.
With the determination to not be punished by His Majesty the Wolf King.
The Werewolves regrouped and started to launch another attack on Preston.
The warriors who were rebuilding the city wall saw the dark mass in the distance and could not help but be stunned.
When one of the warriors saw the situation clearly, he hurriedly shouted, "The Werewolves are attacking! The Werewolves are attacking!!"
This news instantly caused the warriors who were still chatting and laughing on the city wall to stop talking.
Their expressions also became solemn.
However, when the Holy Knights from St. Servant heard that the Werewolves were coming, they all looked over.
"Damn it, after coming for half a day, we finally saw the Werewolves!"
Philip cursed.
During this half a day, he had thought that Preston had not been attacked by the Werewolves at all.
Otherwise, where were the Werewolves?
Now, he finally saw the Werewolves.
The other Holy Knights from St. Servant also stopped what they were doing and began to rub their fists.
They looked like they were about to go all out.
When Cardinal Monn saw this, he frowned.
He raised his foot and touched the stone that the Holy Knights had put down.
He said, "Hurry up and fix it."

These words instantly made the Holy Knight who was about to get his adrenalin pumping feel as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him.
He looked at Cardinal Monn and could not help but say, "Well, Lord Cardinal Monn, the Werewolves are here."
"If they're here, then so be it. It won't stop you from fixing the city wall."
Cardinal Monn said calmly.
This attitude made that Holy Knight feel complex.
He hesitated and said, "The Werewolves are here. Aren't we going to fight them?"
Cardinal Monn glanced at him and said, "I'm about to get off work. If you want to go, you can go by yourself."
"Ah, this..."
That Holy Knight scratched his head, not knowing what to do.
He heard Lord Cardinal Monn say that he was about to get off work.
Only then did Philip react. The sky was already turning dark. If it was any later, the Werewolves would probably be stronger.
Thinking of this, he put down the fervor in his heart and said, "It's already late. The Werewolves' strength will increase greatly soon. Let's not go head-on with them. We'll kill them all during the day!"
"Yes!!"
The Holy Knights responded one after another.
Seeing this, Cardinal Monn walked down the stairs.
He was ready to go home after work.
Before he left, he said faintly, "Remember to repair the city wall."
These words instantly made the excited Holy Knights listless.
They said weakly, "Yes."
Hearing the answer, Cardinal Monn did not have the slightest reaction. He inserted his Elendil in front of the city gate, acting as the temporary empty city gate.
Then, he walked outside, ready to return to St. Servant.
Ace followed behind Cardinal Monn. Listening to the Holy Knights' restless voices, she secretly laughed.
She felt that Cardinal Monn was definitely doing it on purpose.
But he did not say anything.
After all, Cardinal Monn had his own considerations in everything he did.
So, she followed Cardinal Monn with her hands behind her back.
Of course, Cardinal Monn had a reason for doing this.
He found that after the Holy Knights fought the war in St. Servant, they seemed to have started to get a little carried away.
Apart from having a bigger number size, the Holy Knights even felt that these Werewolves didn't seem to be anything special at all.
Although that was true, the Holy Knights' thoughts were still wrong.
No matter what kind of enemy it was, they should rush in and deal with it with all their might.
Otherwise, if they underestimated their enemy, that enemy might let them die a miserable death.
There was a saying, "Even when a lion catches a rabbit, he will still use all his strength!!"
As a human being, one should understand this principle even more.
Otherwise, one should be careful not to be tricked and killed by someone weaker than him.
Today, when Philip came over with the Holy Knights, Cardinal Monn discovered their problem.
If they kept to this attitude, they would probably fail one day.
That's why Cardinal Monn made them do things they didn't want to do, so as to temper their temperament.
Even if they were to attack the Werewolves tomorrow, Cardinal Monn would only let them handle the logistics.
Besides, the Werewolves wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow without a General.
Furthermore, they had already taken back Preston's city gates.
With Cardinal Monn around, how could they break through the city gates?

Den of Vipers
The Year is XXXX, and a deep, heavy fog sets in all over not just the planet, but the whole of the universe, sending all within into a deep, deep sleep. When they awake, all has changed, and both for the better and the worse. Everything has changed, from the new, impossibly massive planet that all now occupy to the terrain to the very rules of reality themselves. But what has changed the most are the people. It seemed as though Humanity was alone in the cosmos, but no longer, as new, monstrous races have been born from the flesh of those whom the Fog singled out. With the survivors rewarded for each altered former human they kill, along with each heroic (and villainous) act that they engage in, those who have changed are forced to run, hide, and try to fight back. But in a distant place, a single altered person stirs from her sleep as the Fog fades. With no Humans for hundreds of miles and a [Quest] that all other Altered share guiding her newly inhuman mind, the newly born serpentine but humanoid monster will have to fight for survival and dominance in a world hellbent on her death, with that violent, pathological hate coming not just from the remaining Humans.
