As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime-Chapter 204 - Ogres

They brought the mountain giants and the elven army to their territory.

At the same time, the stage 9 subterranean dragon was following them. After seeing the 10 mountain giants guarding the Elf Queen, it became even more obedient.

Escape? Impossible!

With intelligence that was not inferior to humans, it did not wish to be beaten up by the 10 mountain giants, much less be turned into a sheep by the evil Elf Queen and sold to human merchants.

…

When she returned to her territory, the Elf Queen once again received cheers from the elves.

Most of the elves who stayed in her territory were still very young and looked like beautiful and lively little loli. As for the bigger elves, they had already joined the army.

“Your Majesty, have we defeated the evil goblins?”

A group of little loli surrounded the Elf Queen and looked at her with big watery eyes.

“Haha, of course!”

The Elf Queen reached out and picked up a little elven loli with a soft voice. She smiled and asked, “Little girl, what’s your name?”

The little loli said, “Your Majesty, my name is Annie. I want to become an elven archer in the future and help Your Majesty beat bad guys!”

“This is a great goal. You need to work very hard.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. I will work very hard to become stronger!”

The elven queen smiled and said, “Annie, you must remember that we are noble nature elves. Our ancestors once defeated an extremely powerful abyssal demon!”

“Your Majesty, Annie will remember that we are noble nature elves!”

The little elf loli nodded her head vigorously.

“Good girl!”

The Elf Queen’s praise made the elf loli very happy.

After comforting the elves,

The Elf Queen then served Monn and the others.

Monn had let the Orthodox Church’s Paladins take part in a crushing war.

This made the Paladins, who had a high desire to fight, feel hot in their hearts.

However, they didn’t have a chance to make a move.

Weren’t they here to fight against the goblins with the elves?

Why didn’t the Paladins have anything to do with it?

The Paladins accepted the elves’ hospitality in a daze.

Monn shook his head.

It was a wasted trip.

He didn’t get any money, but it was okay. At least he got a gatekeeper.

The subterranean dragon suddenly shivered. An ominous feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

After the elves finished their victory banquet,

After chatting with the Elf Queen for a while, Monn returned to the Holy Church in San Lorenzo.

As soon as he returned, Monn received a message.

A gold mine had been discovered in the Kade mountain range to the east of San Lorenzo.

“Ah, a gold mine. There really is such a thing.”

Ace said with a slight realization.

It had only been one or two days since the discovery of the gold mine, but Ace had a lot of things to do during this period of time. Moreover, she had already arranged for this matter to be handed over to Sparrow, so she didn’t pay much attention to it at all.

It was not until Philip came with his men that she remembered that she still had a gold mine. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

The corner of Monn’s mouth twitched. When he saw that Ace did not seem to care about the gold mine at all, he felt a sour feeling in his heart.

A gold mine was equivalent to a huge pile of gold coins!

Ace did not seem to care about it at all?

Monn shook his head and his eyes lit up.

“Let’s go take a look at the gold mine.”

Monn waved his hand and led Ace and the others through town, to the quarantined mine area.

Soon, they entered the mine area. Monn also sent some people over to mine some ores.

“This is really a gold mine, and the quality of the gold is not bad. According to Allen, it should be a medium-sized mine, but it probably had 100,000 gold coins!”

Soon, the middle-aged men behind Philip confirmed the quality and value of the gold mine.

Philip could not help but suck in a breath of cold air when he heard that.

“100,000 gold coins!”

Philip looked at Monn with a complicated expression.

God, who is Lord Monn? Why is he so favored by you?

Monn looked at the gold mine with some waves in his heart.

But he was not as excited as Ace and the others had imagined.

Because Monn knew that if a gold mine was discovered in the San Lorenzo area, it would probably be handed over to the Kingdom of Kate.

After all, all the territories here belonged to the Kingdom of Kate.

Still, the current owner of the territory was the Francis family.

There was a high probability that this gold mine would become the Francis family’s.

However, the Francis family would give a portion of it to the Kingdom of Kate.

And as the discoverer, the Orthodox Church would keep a portion of it.

Since this gold mine was discovered by Monn,

Monn would naturally keep a portion of it in his sanctuary.

There wasn’t much hope that Monn would be able to keep the entire gold mine for myself.

However, there was still a portion that could be kept.

At this moment, Ace suddenly walked over

Ace said, “Your Majesty, previously, the night feline monster Sylvia came over to report that Paladin Patrol had caught a group of ogres. I would like to ask you how to deal with them.”

“Ogres?”

Monn pondered for a moment.

In regards to Kade mountain range, north was the main city of San Lorenzo, south was the territory of the magic wolf clan, and the west was the ogres tribe ruled by the King of the Hill.

The three forces stood in a three-pronged formation.

If two of them were eliminated, the remaining force would take over the Kade mountain range.

“Your Majesty, do you think we should kill them or drive them out of the vicinity of the the mine?”

Ace asked softly. She quietly put her hand on Link’s arm.

Under the moonlight, she looked extremely beautiful.

“Let’s go take a look at the ogres first,” said Monn.

He remembered that the war between the elves and the Goblin Kingdom had attracted the attention of the King of the Hill. He had sent a team of ogres to investigate the situation.

He didn’t expect that the ogres would be captured.

But thinking about it, it was to be expected.

They had so many Holy Knights. It would be strange if they couldn’t even find a small team of ogres.

…

Under the protection of a group of Holy Knights.

Monn and Ace arrived at the place where the ogres were being held.

About a dozen ogres were being held in simple cages, with a large number of Holy Knights standing guard around them.

These ogres looked ferocious, like uncivilized savages. They were all more than three meters tall, their upper bodies were naked naked, and their lower bodies were covered with dirty, stinky animal skin skirts. Their exposed skin was dark blue, making them look like oversized Smurfs.

However, it was clear that ogres were much more evil than Smurfs.

Just from their names, one could tell that ogres were a race that ate humans.

Just like how demonic beasts ate humans, ogres could also be said to be demonic beasts that look liked humans.

Monn came to the vicinity of the cage.

Ace held the Holy Sword in her hand and stood beside him.

The magic gem embedded in the hilt of the Holy Sword was emitting a mysterious light. Ace was ready to release her Holy Power to kill the ogres who dared to approach Link.
