As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime Chapter 20
Advertisement
Barlow was silent for a few seconds before he continued speaking with a smile.
"Pope Andrew, a few days ago, it was you and senior Errol who discovered the werewolf's corpse together outside the city, right?"
"That's right, it was a werewolf who was advancing to the saint level!"
Speaking of serious matters, Andrew's expression also became serious.
After all, if the werewolves really attacked, there would be a large number of casualties!
This kind of casualties did not only include the civilians, but also the members of his Orthodox Church!
Barlow nodded, looked into Andrew's eyes, and enunciated each word clearly.
"According to Pope Andrew's guess, the saint level powerhouse among the werewolves actually quietly lurked so close to the capital. What is their purpose?"
Andrew pondered for a few seconds and said solemnly.
"No one can say for sure about this!"
"The last time the werewolves and the blood clan invaded the Kate Kingdom on a large scale was 70 to 80 years ago!"
"At that time, Orthodox Church suffered heavy casualties! In the end. We even summoned the true God to the world and killed an ancestor of the blood clan which resurrected!"
"Now, the werewolves have once again expressed their intention to invade the Kate Kingdom."
"No one can accurately guess the secret behind this!"
After thinking for a moment, Pope Andrew said lightly.
"But for this matter, I have already sent the head of the Orthodox Church's Judicial Department, Prelate Vernal, to rush to the Holy Temple and invite the Pope to come over!"
"The Pope already sent an imperial edict yesterday. The once-every-three-year inspection will be brought forward!"
"In about a week's time, the Pope will arrive at Saint Servant Cathedral!"
Hearing Andrew's words, Barlow's face immediately revealed a pleasantly surprised expression!
"What? The Pope is coming soon?"
"The Pope himself has the strength of true God! In this way, even if the werewolf clan has the appearance of the once-in-a-thousand-years sacred Silver Wolf King, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to invade our Kate Kingdom!"

"Pope Andrew, this is a great thing!"
Andrew smiled and nodded.
"But I won't hide this from you."
"The reason why the Pope usually stays in the temple and only goes out to patrol once every three years is because he's too powerful!"
"If he reveals his strength outside the temple, I'm afraid he'll be summoned by the heavenly realm soon!"
"True gods are not allowed to stay in the mortal world for long!"
"I'm sure the royal family knows about this, too."
Barlow nodded. He was the king's teacher, so he was very clear about all the secrets of the royal family.
"The royal family is aware of what Pope Andrew has said. But no matter what, with a true God like the Pope, we already have confidence!"
"I wonder if the leader of the mysterious Holy Knights will come with the Pope this time?"
Andrew thought for a moment and replied.
"I'm not sure if Leader Lucious will come along."
"But according to the usual practice of the Pope's patrol, Leader Lucious will usually come along!"
As soon as these words were said, the excitement on Barlow's face became even more intense!
He even clenched his right hand into a fist and heavily hit his left palm!
"Leader Lucious is at the peak of the saint level! Even if the Pope can not easily make a move, with Leader Lucious, we are in an invincible position!"
Andrew looked at Barlow's excited look, he was indeed not so optimistic!
"Teacher Barlow, I wonder if the royal family has a detailed record of the Dark Calamity 70 to 80 years ago?"
Barlow, who was in the midst of his excitement, was stunned when he heard this. Then, he shook his head and replied.
"The main participants of the Dark Calamity were from Orthodox Church. Although there were many troops from the kingdom participating in the war, the main focus was to defend the capital and the palace."
"Pope Andrew, could it be ... there's something else going on here?"

Andrew nodded.
"That time, although that vampire ancestor also made a move, he only made his move at the very last moment!"
"In the early stages of the war, the most troublesome ones weren't the powerful werewolves and vampires with the strength of the saint and amethyst ranks."
"But the most ordinary werewolves and vampires!"
"There were so many of them, and each of them had a physique that was many times stronger than that of ordinary warriors."
"Their speed and strength were so strong that ordinary soldiers could not react in time."
"The moment they charge toward the capital from all directions, I'm afraid that even Leader Lucious is not able to take care of them!"
Barlow's excited expression froze on his face!
The Dark Calamity from 70 to 80 years ago was finally won by the human race with great difficulty!
However, the one who suffered the most losses was Orthodox Church!
It was also after that calamity that the Orthodox Church officially confirmed the supreme status of the only true God sect in the Kate Kingdom!
Barlow could only get a vague impression from all sorts of records!
There was no record of how exactly the war was won!
"Pope Andrew, please explain in detail!"
Andrew picked up the tea cup, took a sip of black tea, and said slowly.
"At that time, the werewolves and the blood clan joined hands in an almost unprecedented way!"
"Both parties sent out a total of 120,000 troops!"
"Among them, 30,000 werewolves were from the Silverfrost legion, 70,000 were from the blood clan's Dark Night legion, and the rest were scattered tribesmen from the two creatures!"
"At that time, it could be said that the two dark creatures had sent out all their forces!"
"And the Orthodox Church at that time, including all the bishops, archbishops, Holy Knights, holy recitation, and judge, had less than 50,000 people!"
"The werewolves and the vampires started to surround the capital!"
"Once they surrounded the capital, the Orthodox Church would not be able to hold on for long with such a small number of people!"
"Therefore, the previous pope of the Orthodox Church made a decision to take out the two treasures of the church and used them as bait to lure all the dark creatures to the depths of the Suva mountains, which was hundreds of kilometers away from the capital."
"The Orthodox Church surrounded the two treasures that the werewolves and the vampires were determined to possess. Then, they defended at one place!"
"They fought the bloody battles for nearly two weeks!"
"Whether it was the werewolves, the vampires, or the Orthodox Church, all paid a heavy price!"
Andrew paused and continued to say a few numbers.
"The werewolf's Silverfrost legion was reduced from 30,000 to 8,000! The blood clan's Dark Night legion was left with less than 20,000!"
"As for the Orthodox Church's 50,000 people..."
Andrew's voice was sorrowful and low as he slowly said.
"Only... only left with less than 20,000!"
"Both sides suffered more than 100,000 casualties within a week!"
"After that, the blood clan's primogenitor made his move, and the previous Pope of Orthodox Church made his move, too!"
"After fighting against the primogenitor of the blood clan for a few hours, he had no choice but to ascend to the heavenly realm!"
"In order to fight against the primogenitor of the blood clan, the three previous popes of the Orthodox Church had no choice but to take out the true divine weapon of the church, the thorny garland, and summon the true God!"
"In the end, the true God defeated the primogenitor of the blood clan. Only then did the werewolves and the troops of the blood clan retreat!"
"Apart from the Orthodox Church, no one knew the details of the tragic battle!"
