As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime Chapter 140
Advertisement
Under the city walls of Preston.
Seeing that there was still no movement from above, Zach's face gradually darkened.
He felt that these Holy Knights must have received orders from Cardinal Monn.
Otherwise, how could they be so indifferent.
After all, before Cardinal Monn came to Preston, though all their plans weren't going so smoothly, it was not bad as today where there was no progress.
This scene gave him a headache.
He stared at the flaming sword in front of them.
He ordered, "Since the Holy Knights won't come out, let's charge in!!"
"Charge in?"
The Werewolves were stunned when they heard Zach's order.
Then, they stared blankly at the flame standing quietly in front of the city gate.
They couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"Commander Zach, are you serious?"
Some of the Werewolves couldn't help but ask the question in their hearts.
There was a hint of fear in their tone.
They really didn't want to face the flaming sword that terrified them.
In their hearts, although that divine flaming sword wasn't as terrifying as the Devil that treated them as nothing...
It wasn't that far off, after all, with just a light touch, one's entire body would be burned into nothingness, not even a trace of one's ashes could be seen.
This was no different from being eaten.
It was just that the flames burned rapidly, and the pain might only last for a second before it ended.
But the Devil still had to chew his prey a few more times in his mouth.
This scene made them feel a chill in their hearts.
They couldn't help but shiver a few times when they thought of it.
But they also didn't want to face that flame.
Zach heard their question and said faintly, "So, do you have a better way?"

"This?"
The Werewolves looked at one another.
They did not know how to answer the question.
Zach saw this and chuckled,
"It's okay. That sword's flame is only that high, but Preston's city wall is indeed dozens of meters high."
He pointed at Preston and continued, "No matter what, the flame can't suddenly lift itself up so high, right?"
Hearing this, the Werewolves looked at one another and said, "We wanted to cross over it before, but the flame will suddenly rise!"
Zach became impatient as the Werewolves kept asking questions.
But he still wanted the Werewolves to open up a path for him, so he could only continue, "You also said that it was before. Did you jump more than ten meters before?"
"This..."
The werewolves were stunned for a moment, feeling that what Zach said made sense.
They had never tried flying over before.
Of course, their strength was not at the Holy Rank, and they could not fly at all.
However, as an Amethyst Rank Werewolf, they could indeed fly for a short period of time. As long as they walked up step by step, they would be able to cross over the flame.
Thinking of this, the Werewolves' eyes instantly turned cold.
It was as if they had found the solution to the problem that had puzzled them for a few days.
All of them instantly became excited.
Immediately, one of the Werewolves took the lead.
Since they had found a way to resolve the problem, then whoever took the first step out now, when they returned to the Clan in the future, they would definitely receive a high reward.
They didn't want to give up this opportunity.
They immediately said, "I'm willing to give it a try for my brothers!"
When the other Werewolves heard this, their expressions instantly changed.

They were extremely vexed and felt that they had missed an opportunity for them to show off their performance.
At the same time, they looked at the first Werewolf to speak, with envious eyes.
As long as this matter was successful, when they returned to the Clan and His Majesty the Wolf King found out about this matter, He would definitely reward him well.
Maybe he could even get a noble title and reach the peak of his life.
This kind of situation made the other Werewolves extremely envious.
Seeing someone stepped forward,.
Zach's mouth gently pulled out a smile.
But the smile was very shallow, no Werewolf noticed this scene at all.
Actually, Zach didn't know if this method would work.
But someone had to stand up.
Since that was the case, he naturally had to give these guys some confidence.
He immediately agreed, "Alright, you'll be the first to lead the charge! Don't worry, after we've occupied Preston and returned to the Clan, I'll definitely report your achievements to the Wolf King! I'll propose to the Wolf King to reward you properly!!"
Hearing this, the eyes of the Werewolf, who took the lead, immediately lit up.
Why was he the first to step out?
It was for the sake of being promoted and receiving a high reward.
With Zach's words, it was equivalent to giving him a guarantee.
This made his heart even more firm.
He took a heavy step forward.
His eyes were fixed in Preston's direction.
The crimson flame was reflected in his eyes.
But this time, there was no fear in his heart.
Fear often came from the unknown.
Now that he knew how to face the flame, it was not something he could fear in his eyes.
He took a step forward.
The dust on the ground was sent flying.
Then his whole body began to gather strength.
A light purple gas began to envelop his entire body.
That was the symbol of Amethyst Rank strength.
With purple gas, the Werewolf took a heavy step forward.
His huge wolf foot seemed to have found a fulcrum in the air.
He took a leap.
His entire body suddenly stopped in the air.
It was as if he stepped on air.
The werewolf stood in the air.
Then he let out a heavy sigh of relief.
To be honest.
Although one with Amethyst Rank strength could step on the air and form an air ladder, and allowed him to stay in the air temporarily, or even step forward in the air.
But this operation was not as simple as it seemed.
This required him to have a very strong control of his own strength.
Otherwise, with an unstable breath, the whole body will fall from the air, causing the previous efforts to be in vain.
So, the Werewolf on this mission had a lot of pressure.
He could not allow the slightest mistake.
Otherwise, the mission that he had this time before the other werewolves have time to react to the completion of the mission will be mercilessly snatched away by others.
After all, there was a high reward, and no one would miss this opportunity.
In order not to lose this hard-won opportunity, he had to be careful.
Not letting go of any details.
Trying to complete the mission once.
Not giving the other werewolves a chance.
And while he was cautiously moving forward.
Behind him, the werewolves opened their green eyes.
Almost all of them were hoping that the werewolf would make a mistake and fall.
So they had a reason to take his place.
