As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime Chapter 223
Advertisement
Several treants were not that lucky either.
They thought that they had avoided the seemingly strong and fierce team.
They did not expect that Bartley, the necromancer, was like a locust crossing the border, and Lillian, his disciple, aggressively wanted to prove her abilities.
Bartley and Lillian had already noticed that along the way, although it had been purified by Monn's flame, there were still traces of demon and death.
For the Holy Knights, it was a very unpleasant smell.
But for the master and the disciple, it was an opportunity that they could not find during normal times.
So Lillian and Bartley, the two of them were constantly collecting the aura of death and demon.
This had led to a few originally strong treants being captured by both the master and disciple, and were forced into the bottle which could seal the demon. They had become the experimental items for the master and disciple.
Every footprint on the ground was a huge pit that was more than five meters deep.
The walls of the pit and the rocks at the bottom had all withered, forming a black crystal.
It could be seen how terrifying the aura emitted by the bat demon was.
"Let's move quickly! We don't know how many days the bat demon's aura can last. We have to make full use of such a convenient and safe passage. Don't waste it."
Monn turned around and urged the team.
As he spoke, he stepped on a footprint left by the bat demon and his figure gradually disappeared in the flames.
Ace also suppressed her discomfort towards the bat demon's aura.
And she followed Monn closely.
The aura left by the bat demon was very stubborn and strong. It was not easy to dissipate. Therefore, the Holy Knights did not encounter any powerful creatures.
A few days later, a large valley shrouded in water vapor appeared in front of the Holy Knights.
This was the destination of Monn's trip.

The location of the gold mine in the Kade Mountain Range.
It was also the territory that the kobolds had occupied.
"What did you see?"
Although Ace's eyes were also wide open, she could only see waves of water vapor.
Although her sense of power told her that there were many lives full of vitality in the mist, she could not see anything with her eyes.
"It's the territory of the kobolds. They don't rely on their vision. They rely on their noses!"
Monn's tone was very grave.
Ace's expression also became grave. She knew very well that the kobold's most powerful battle was relying on their sense of smell.
Monn led the Holy Knights and stood outside the water mist, waiting for the kobolds inside to come out on their own.
They had long smelled a large number of unfamiliar scents approaching.
Before Monn and his Holy Knights could get close, the kobolds were already preparing for battle.
A loud howl came from within the mist.
The mist was like a flowing cloud that had been torn apart by someone.
Neat rows of kobolds walked out with their spears in their hands.
"This is the territory of our kobolds. Please continue moving forward."
The leader of the kobolds said bluntly.
"We are only here to retrieve the gold mine."
Monn did not care about the other party's attitude.
He did not even care about the other party's vigilance and malice.
This was indeed the kobolds' territory, and the kobolds' sense of smell was indeed very good.
However, with such a small number, facing his Holy Knight Army, they really underestimated his Holy Knight Army.
"Are you kidding me? How can our gold mine be yours?"
"That's right. Even if you're dreaming, that's not what you should dream of."
"So funny. Who do you think you are!"
"Just by opening and closing your mouth, and all of it will be yours?"

The kobolds were in a mess.
However, Monn's side was completely silent.
They had come all the way here, so it was naturally impossible for them to return empty-handed.
If these kobolds did not know their place, then don't blame them for not being polite.
If they were to negotiate with them, it would be flattering them.
Each and every one of them did not know their place.
They really thought of them as toys.
Each and every one of the Holy Knights was ready to fight at any time.
"I'm actually in a good mood today. I don't want to start a massacre. You'd better know your place. Otherwise, I really don't know what kind of bad things I will do."
Monn looked coldly at the farce over at the kobold's side.
"No matter who you are, you can't rob our gold mine. This is ours."
The kobold leader knew that the people on the other side were not to be trifled with.
But this involved a huge amount of benefits.
The benefits of their race.
No one could take it away.
"Hehe. Then it's no point talking to you nicely."
Monn slowly walked towards the kobold team.
"You, you, you..."
"What do you want!"
"Don't come over!"
"If you come over further, we'll attack you without mercy!"
The kobolds didn't expect the human opposite them to be fearless.
They had already said so much, yet the other party still walked forward.
Therefore, in a panic, they prepared the spears in their hands for an attack and made a stance.
"Didn't anyone teach you? There's no such thing as mercy in a war between two armies."
Monn raised his hand.
"Shield."
"Archers!"
Following Monn's order, the archers of the Holy Knights had already stepped forward. They drew their bows and arrows, ready to attack at any time.
"Mage."
Monn gave another order.
The Holy Knights moved in three rows in unison.
"Have you decided? Are you going to call out the gold mine obediently, or do I have to do it myself? You have to decide. If you hand it over to the country, then your lives are still yours. Otherwise, you can only go into the pot."
Monn casually threw out a high-level magic scroll.
He then tore a spatial rift in the air.
An army of stone men walked out of the spatial rift.
These stone men were wearing steel armors, and their thick iron boots were stained red and rusted with blood.
The sound of armor clashing was the sound of metal scraping.
Each stone man was holding a huge axe that dragged the ground.
"How is this possible!"
"How could it be!"
"Who the hell are you?"
The kobold leader did not expect that the other party not only brought human troops, but also stone men's troops.
Where did this person come from?
With such strength, why would he go against his small tribe?
"Monn."
Monn didn't want to be so arrogant.
However, he didn't know the situation inside the mist, so he could only make a show first.
He didn't want his Holy Knights to suffer any losses.
Therefore, he had to summon a team of stone men.
If the kobolds were still unyielding in the face of such an absolutely defensive team, then he could only let the stone men go up first to withstand a wave of attacks, and then let his Holy Knights attack.
Where there was war, there would be casualties.
This was what he did not want to see the most.
It was not easy for his Holy Knights to have the lineup they had today. Every one of them was carefully selected by him.
How could I bear to sacrifice such renewable resources for a little gold mine.
