As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime-Chapter 34
Chapter 34: Crushing Defeat
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On the battlefield, when charging forward.
The most important thing was whether the first batch of people could block the enemy’s charge!
If they could block it, then their companions behind them would be able to charge forward endlessly!
Then, they would defeat the enemy in one go!
If they could not block it, then not only would they be counter-charged by the enemy.
Even the first batch of soldiers would become obstacles for their companions behind them!
The other knights behind them immediately felt a subtle change in the situation when these four to five Mithril Rank Rank knights paused at the same time!
Such influence was like a wave that passed down layer by layer.
The result was reflected in the overall charge.
It was the final batch of captains and team captains who charged forward.
They did not know what had happened at all and had already stopped charging forward!
Twelve out of twenty Light-Armored Knights at the forefront had been eliminated in an instant!
Other than the first one who had been swept horizontally by the long spear and did not suffer too heavy of an injury!
The other eleven people were all either struck by sabers or swords!
They were seriously injured and on the verge of death!
Philip had already arranged for someone to save these people.
The injuries would not be a big deal under the powerful healing spells of the Orthodox Church, as long as their heads did not fall off!
The elimination of these twelve Light-Armored Knights caused the weakening of the momentum of the captains and the team captains. It was the fear of the first batch of knights.
At the same time, it gave them precious time!
The Heavy-Armored Knights had completely condensed the momentum of their charge!
They were like an unrivaled mountain peak!
They charged forward with such determination and unity!
Before a Black Gold Rank knight could even react, he was knocked into the air by these Heavy-Armored Knights!
He spat out a mouthful of blood!
The Black Gold Rank knight’s eyes filled with disbelief!
Even a Black Gold Rank knight was like that.
Those Mithril Rank and Grey Iron Rank knights were even more vulnerable!
They did not even display any decent counterattack before they were forced to back away by the saber and spear that came out of nowhere when they collided with these Heavy-Armored Knights who were charging at them!
A mere 40 Heavy-Armored Knights were like an army of thousands of horses to them!
They were one!
And there were no flaws!
The captains and the team captains were defeated.
After more than two minutes, to be precise, they did not even last a minute if it were to be counted from when the first Light-Armored Knight was stabbed by the spear.
Monn watched quietly throughout the entire process.
He did not use any holy energy other than commanding!
Those knights on the opposite side did not even release their long-range attacks when the charge started.
Monn had already guessed that they would lose quickly!
There was a total of forty Heavy-Armored Knights charging at the same time.
They would not be able to block them at all, even if they were Black Gold Rank knights!
Only twelve Light-Armored Knights were eliminated from the Three Talents Formation.
Everyone was eliminated from the opponent’s side!
The few Mithril Rank knights did not believe it and insisted on fighting these Heavy-Armored Knights head-on.
In the end, they were heavily injured...
Half an hour later.
Everyone gathered in front of the parade platform.
Monn stood on the stand and watched them quietly.
All the 100 Grey Iron Rank knights of the Three Talents Formation wore a proud, excited, and joyful look of victory!
On the other hand, the captains and team captains beside them were the exact opposite.
Their faces filled with disbelief, frustration, and disappointment!
They didn’t even know how they failed...
The people in front of them paused for a few seconds for some reason.
Everyone paused for a few seconds for some reason!
Then, the momentum disappeared.
Then, the Heavy-Armored Knights charged forward!
Each of them seemed to have used their full strength to stop and attack those Heavy-Armored Knights!
But with the support of the healing and support spells of the twenty Holy Choir Knights behind them.
Those Heavy-Armored Knights were like a mountain!
They could not be broken or blocked at all!
In the end, they lost...
They lost miserably!
Many Mithril Rank knights had blank expressions on their faces.
One of the Black Gold Rank Knights had a saber wound on his arm that was still bleeding, but he did not realize it. His eyes filled with confusion and disappointment!
Monn saw everyone’s expressions.
He clapped his hands, making everyone look over.
“All of you did well.”
The first thing he looked at was the Grey Iron Rank knights.
He smiled as he spoke, lightly praising them.
However, it was as if these Grey Iron Rank knights had been injected with stimulants!
They shouted crazily and waved their weapons!
Finally, everyone roared in unison!
“The god has sent his decree. Orthodox Church will protect the country!”
That was the creed of the Holy Knights, and it was also the sentence that the warriors were most familiar with.
Now, they used this sentence to vent the excitement in their hearts!
Monn nodded.
Then, he looked at the dispirited captains and team captains who were disappointed. 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m
“Do you know what your mistake was and what you lost?”
Monn’s voice was calm, and there wasn’t even any reproach in his tone.
But almost all of the knights’ faces blushed at that moment!
