As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime-Chapter 215 - Welcome by the Entire City

In the Mage Union…

“What are you guys arguing about? The potion I have just concocted has been spoiled by the noise of all of you. Who’s going to compensate me?”

“The army of the Orthodox Church has already arrived. Why bother about the potion?”

“Are you on too much drugs?”

“Believe it or not, I’m going anyway.”

“That’s the legendary Cardinal Monn. I heard that Cardinal Monn reached the peak of Holy Rank at such a young age and even became the youngest cardinal of the Orthodox Church. I must go and meet him!”

“Let’s go quickly. If we’re a little late, we won’t even get a spot.”

“Wait for me!”

Many dumbfounded mages were also driven out of the union by curiosity.

…

Outside Sapphire City.

In a short period of time, a large number of humans had gathered.

There were knights, mages, nobles, and commoners.

Almost everyone came to join in the fun. They wanted to see if the legendary Cardinal Monn was really that young and powerful.

There were also people who wanted to see the heroic bearing of the Holy Knights.

Everyone stretched their necks.

They looked in the direction of the distance, looking forward to it.

“We’ll be able to see the young, handsome and powerful Cardinal Monn soon. I’m really looking forward to it.”

“We still don’t know if it’s true or not.”

“If it’s fake, I’ll definitely skin those mercenaries alive. Let them know that the mercy of the nobles is not given to them, even though they have powerful strength in their hands.”

Hearing this, the mercenaries around frowned.

But they didn’t get angry and chose to retreat.

In human society, people were divided into four classes.

Nobles, professionals, commoners, slaves.

Those who owned the titles of nobles would always stand at the top and look down on them. Their status in human society was only higher than the commoners.

At this moment, a clamor was heard.

Many people were shouting in shock.

As in the distant horizon, a huge army appeared.

Their formation was organized. Other than the sound of footsteps, the entire army did not make any other sound.

Countless people were excited.

“God of Light, it’s really the Holy Knights of the Orthodox Church!”

“They’re here!”

Under the gaze of countless people…

The massive Holy Knights gradually approached Sapphire City.

Their formation was neat, and their movements were like the wind.

As the elven army approached…

A somber and murderous aura was pouncing on them.

However, the humans gathered in Sapphire City did not seem to feel it. Instead, they looked at the figures in front of the Holy Knights with incomparable excitement.

“By the God of Light, I have seen the legendary Her Highness the Saintess!”

“Is that Her Highness the Saintess? As described by the bard, she is beautiful, holy, and noble. Even Miss. Vivian can’t compare to her!”

“By the Goddess of Magic! Although I have vowed to focus on magic spells for the rest of my life, in the face of such shining Holy Knights, any oath is like the worthless sand in Lake Gem.”

At Sapphire City…

All the humans were shocked from the bottom of their hearts.

Everyone looked at the Holy Knight Army with incomparable holiness. Even the young girls and noblewomen in the crowd were immersed in the elegance of the Holy Knights.

At this moment.

Countless shrieks from the human women could be heard.

Regardless of whether it was the commoner girls or the noblewomen, all of them had a face full of infatuation as they looked at Cardinal Monn who was walking at the very front.

Wearing the cardinal’s crown, having a handsome face with noble temperament, Cardinal of the Orthodox Church was extremely charming.

“That man is so handsome.”

“Wu wu, I found that I’m in love.”

“I swear to the Almighty God of Light that no noble in Sapphire City is worthy of being compared to this man.”

“Is he also from the Orthodox Church?”

“Not only is he from the Orthodox Church, but he is also the Cardinal of the Orthodox Church! I think he must be the new cardinal of the Orthodox Church!”

“No wonder he is like the sun in the sky, hot and eye-catching.”

“Why is he so handsome?”

“I really want to marry him!”

“If I can stay by his side, I would even wash his clothes and cook for him every day!”

“Looking at His Holiness Cardinal Monn and then the stinky men around, they are really too disgusting.”

The surrounding people instantly cast a wave of resentful gazes.

Girls, weren’t you afraid of being beaten to death for saying such insulting words to a man’s dignity in public?

…

On the city walls…

The higher-ups of the various major forces in Sapphire City gathered together.

There were Castellan Komuk, the presidents of mercenary and mage unions, the leaders of many large mercenary groups, as well as the powerful lone mercenaries. Of course, there were also many nobles.

Compared to the clamor below the city wall, it was silent on the city wall. Everyone had a solemn expression.

The Holy Knight Army that was coming at them made them feel extremely heavy pressured.

Although they did not believe that this Holy Knight Army would take down Sapphire City, but if they really launched an attack, Sapphire City would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Once the war started, many people present would die.

“Why are there so many Holy Knights in San Lorenzo? Isn’t the Holy Church there just built?”

“That’s not important!”

“Yes, it’s not important. What’s important is why His Holiness Cardinal Monn led an army of Holy Knights to our Sapphire City. Could it be that he really wants to start a war with our Sapphire City? Could it be that it’s because of those things?” fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m

“Hiss, it’s very likely!”

Some nobles in the surrounding had ugly expressions on their faces.

It was because they were all involved in those things.

“Why don’t we retreat first?” 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

“There’s no need! No matter how bold this new cardinal is, he wouldn’t dare to attack Sapphire City, much less kill the nobles! Not to mention that he doesn’t know that we did it, even if he knew, he couldn’t do anything to us.”

“Shut up!”

The Castellan Komuk glared fiercely at the nobles who were whispering among themselves.

The cardinal had already led the Holy Knight Army to the city gates. These shameful nobles were still discussing this matter. Did they really want to start a war with the Orthodox Church?

At this moment…

The Orthodox Church’s Holy Knight Army stopped.

It was less than 300 meters away from the city walls of Sapphire City. This distance was also the best shooting range for the Holy Church archers.

The president of the mercenary union said, “Castellan Komuk, I think we should go and have a good talk with his Cardinal Monn!”

“Indeed, no matter what, Sapphire City cannot have a war!”

Castellan Komuk nodded.

Although he was a little fat, he was a peak Amethyst Rank knight himself.

His good life had made him grow fat, but it did not destroy his courage as a peak Amethyst Rank expert.

The group descended the city wall and prepared to meet with His Holiness Cardinal Monn of the Orthodox Church.
