As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime Chapter 98
Advertisement
Why was he smiling?
This question arose in everyone's mind.
At this moment, they suddenly realized that Cardinal Monn, who was sprawled on the city wall, was also smiling.
They could not help but follow Cardinal Monn's gaze and look over.
What they saw was the Holy Knights who were bitterly resisting.
Why were they smiling?
This doubt once again appeared in the hearts of everyone.
At this moment, they heard Cardinal Monn suddenly say, "Philip, you guys are finally starting to behave."
"Yes! Lord Cardinal Monn!"
When Philip heard Cardinal Monn's praise, he instantly stood up straight and replied loudly.
The tears that had been rolling in his eyes finally could not help but fall out.
At this moment, he really wanted those brothers who were still fighting on the battlefield to hear Cardinal Monn's words!
Unfortunately, they might never be able to hear these words.
The people who heard Cardinal Monn's words were even more puzzled.
Ace could not help but ask, "What does this mean?"
Hearing this, Cardinal Monn did not explain anything. Instead, he continued to look at the battlefield.
A wisp of light wind gently blew up his hair, revealing his cold side profile.
It 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."
After saying that, Philip paused for a moment, then looked at the battlefield and continued, "And now we..."
Philip didn't say anything. He just quietly looked at his brothers on the battlefield.
Everyone followed his gaze and looked at the battlefield.
At 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.

Heroism, sacrifice, glory, and so on.
After knowing the story behind these Holy Knights, Ace, Sheryl, and even General Barton were moved.
Especially Ace.
When she thought of what Philip said about cowardice, fear of death, and laziness, she immediately thought of the Holy Knights in the past.
The purpose of the Orthodox Church was to be the light and to protect.
Although the Holy Knights also performed this duty very well, what Ace saw was indeed more of laziness and fear of death.
Despite being the Holy Knights, they were first and foremost human beings.
And of course, human beings would cower in fear of death.
Holy Knight: Noble, bright, and holy.
Such qualities were indeed very rare in the Knights of the Orthodox Church.
And this group of Holy Knights, personally trained by Cardinal Monn, instantly overthrew the title of a Holy Knight.
Ace felt that the previous Holy Knights should not be called Holy Knights.
They were just knights.
They would fight to protect their homeland and protect the humans.
But they did not have the qualities of a Holy Knight.
At this moment, as the Saintess of the Orthodox Church, she suddenly had the idea to reform the Holy Knights.
Of course, this was only an idea. If she wanted to implement it, she needed the Pope's consent.
But this idea was deeply embedded in the bottom of Ace's heart.
When the war was over, she would definitely suggest it to the Pope.
Even the Kingdom's eldest Princess Sheryl and General Barton were moved by this story.
At the same time, they looked at the Cardinal with even more admiration.
After all, if he did not have such a noble quality, why would he think that all his Holy Knights should have such quality?
Although he had a strange habit of working from 9 to 5, it was nothing in this glorious image.

Cardinal Monn did not know what the people next to him imagined.
If he knew, although he would not say anything, he would be puzzled.
What did the qualities of a Holy Knight have to do with a Cardinal like him?
Weren't the Cardinals only responsible for the safety of the civilians under the Church and the protection of justice and faith?
Of course, Cardinal Monn did not know what they were thinking.
He looked at the brave Holy Knights and suddenly thought of the promotion the Pope had told him about.
He was going to be Pope in another place soon.
If he wanted to train a group of such Holy Knights, it would still take a lot of time.
Why not apply to Andrew and transfer them under the banner of Cardinal Monn?
When recruiting Holy Knights, he would just let these seniors train them, which would save him a lot of time and trouble.
Anyway, Cardinal Monn had trained them personally, so it shouldn't be too much to take them away, right?
Cardinal Monn thought for a moment and thought of Andrew's kind gaze.
He shouldn't mind, right?
Yes, he shouldn't.
Thus, Cardinal Monn said, "Philip, when the war is over, bring them to report to me."
"Report?"
Philip, who was reminiscing about the past, was stunned when he heard Cardinal Monn's words.
For a moment, he didn't understand what Cardinal Monn meant.
Seeing 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."
"???"
After saying this, Philip was even more puzzled.
Regarding 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.
The main thing was to see if the Orthodox Church had a new church.
However, he was very doubtful about Cardinal Monn asking them to report to him.
They had clearly been surrounded by Werewolves, and it was obvious that they were on the verge of death. How could they report to him?
Instead, it was Ace who reacted.
What Cardinal Monn meant was that he would not let these Holy Knights die here.
As for Cardinal Monn's strength, Ace did not have the slightest doubt.
Since Cardinal Monn had the confidence to save these Holy Knights, then he would definitely save them.
At this moment, Ace finally heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.
She 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.
However, she was speechless at the words of Cardinal Monn who wanted to take them away.
Did he get the consent of Pope Andrew? He looked like he wanted to take them away.
Pope Andrew would be too miserable.
General Barton and Sheryl also had some speculations when they understood Cardinal Monn's meaning.
Could it be that Cardinal Monn wanted to save them?
General Barton was bewildered.
Philip, 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... ?"
Hearing 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?"

Many Minded
Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author. Cover art by me! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
