Chapter 561: Borrowing a knife

"You want me to go to the Chaos Coast and coordinate to defend against the attack of the undead army?"

Hearing this, Jenn narrowed his eyes, leaned back in his chair with his hands crossed, and then looked at Archbishop Howard at his desk. But Archbishop Howard did not speak, on the contrary, a white cardinal beside him stepped forward and spoke enthusiastically.

"That's right, Bishop Pashanomens, this is an order from the Supreme Council. Now that the Scourge is eyeing the hinterland of our Saith, we need to unite all our forces to fend off the evil undead. The power you have displayed in the Shining Nation has been astounding, and the Supreme Council has found that you have enough strength to assist us in this difficult and difficult task. ”

is worthy of being a magic stick, and his lip service is good.

Hearing the white cardinal's words, Jenn pursed his lips inwardly, knowing why the Templar Order had sent him this task. But the other party can say it so beautifully, but he is really a good hand. But thinking of this, Jenn couldn't help but think for a while, maybe next time he should make a saint girl a target, so that he could also feel how the other party's mouth work was.

But after all, Jenn wouldn't just nod his head in agreement.

"So, what's in it for me?"

"Benefits?"

Hearing Jenn's inquiry, the white cardinal's face suddenly froze, he was sent by the central body, and his daily task was to be responsible for conveying various orders on behalf of the Supreme Council. Of course, these orders are good and bad, he has seen those who scold, he has also seen those who are excited, and he has seen serious ones. But I've never seen a guy like Jenn come up to talk about conditions, he. He, how can he negotiate terms with the Supreme Council? Isn't it time to stand up and say that you are honoured to be appreciated by the Supreme Council, and to die for it?

It was still Howard who knew Jenn's character, so after hearing Jenn's inquiry, he sighed helplessly.

"What good do you expect, this time the past is not to blame, it is already a compromise made by the Supreme Council. Of course. If you do well, then the Supreme Council can consider elevating you to the rank of cardinal. ”

"Cardinal?"

Hearing Howard's words, Jenn thought for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders.

"Forget it, so be it........."

"You're ............!!"

Looking at Jenn's lazy appearance, the white cardinal almost fainted. He had never seen such a person, and instead of having the slightest reverence for the Supreme Council, he looked like he was picky. His disguised smile couldn't hold it anymore at the moment, although he had long heard that this young man was not an easy guy to deal with. But only by seeing it with your own eyes will you know how arrogant and arrogant this young man really is.

But before he could say anything to express his displeasure, Jenn put down the teacup in his hand and asked.

"By the way, in that case, I have something to ask. What will I do when I get to the Chaos Coast? ”

Hearing Jenn's question, the white-clad temporarily suppressed the anger deep in his heart. Thinking that this lord was still knowledgeable, he also snorted lightly before he spoke.

"This is not something to worry about Bishop Pashanonom. Once you reach the Shores of Chaos, the Grand Knight of Montgomery of the Knights of the Holy Sword will command all coalition forces. You must have heard of the Grand Knight of Montgomery, he ......"

Just as the cardinal was about to say something about the legendary knight's experience, Jenn interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"In that case, then I refuse to participate."

"You know, under the leadership of the Grand Knight of Montgomery. We'll be ......... What, you refuse? ”

At first, when he heard Jenn's answer, the white cardinal didn't realize what he was saying, and thought that Jenn had already expressed his loyalty after hearing the reputation of the Grand Knight of Montgomery, so he was quite excited. But halfway through the sentence, he finally reacted. The young man in front of him actually refused, refused! He refused!!

"Why?"

At this moment, the white cardinal could no longer care about his own decency, staring at Jenn with wide eyes, looking at him with great doubt. In the face of the white cardinal's inquiry, Jenn shrugged his shoulders.

"Quite simply, I am willing to accept the assignment of the Supreme Council, but what I do and what I want to do when I get there, I have the final say. Others don't care, don't say anything about the Grand Knight of Montgomery, even if it's Montgomery. Could it be that he asked me to go up and send me to death, but I really can't go up and send me to death? ”

"But, but all paladins are under the command of Grand Knight Montgomery, who is the Templar's highest-ranking commander on the front lines!"

"That's good, but I'm not a paladin."

"Uh..............."

Hearing Jenn's unhesitating answer, the white cardinal was dumbfounded. He was right, the Grand Knight of Montgomery was the Supreme Commander of the Templar on the front, and strictly speaking, all units sent to the Front by the Templar were under the command of the Grand Knight of Montgomery. But the problem is that Jenn is right, he is not a paladin, but a bishop of the Order, and in this way, the problem arises.

If you want to use an analogy, it is that the paladin belongs to the general, and the bishop belongs to the civil official. The two sides are inherently incompatible. Unless he is a diocesan bishop, he has the right to mobilize the Holy Knights within his diocese. And this time, since the Chaos Coast front is only mobilizing the Holy Knights, it is only natural that Archbishop Montgomery, the highest-ranking of the paladins, will lead them. However, it would be different if Jenn went, he was a bishop of the diocese, which meant that as long as Jenn did not agree, then all paladins belonging to the diocese of Eagle Plateau could not obey the orders of the Grand Knight of Montgomery.

Thinking of this, the white cardinal's head suddenly exploded, he didn't quite himself at all, he just routinely conveyed an order, and he would do so many things. Luckily, this was before Jenn left, so what if he made a fuss about it after he arrived on the Chaos Coast? At that time, maybe the entire defense line of the Chaos Coast will be affected.

So don't let Jenn go, and only deploy his Paladin? Are you kidding! As a representative of the Supreme Council, the white cardinal knew very well that the reason why the Supreme Council had given this order was to throw Jenn to the front so that he would not cause any more trouble. If he doesn't go, then what's the point of this order?

“……… I need to report back to the Supreme Council. ”

Eventually, the white cardinal said this with a bitter face, and Jenn made a gesture of please, and then saw Archbishop Howard leave the room with the white cardinal. Although this white cardinal is not high, as the emissary of the Supreme Council, he always has something to communicate with directly.

After the two left, Enoa, who had been standing behind Jenn, chuckled.

"The Templar is interesting, master......... Are you really going to go to the front? ”

"I can't seem to go this time."

Hearing Enoa's inquiry, Jenn pursed his lips, and then he picked up the teacup and took a sip of black tea.

"But I'm also quite interested, I heard that Klein did a good job up front? I'd like to see how good he is. The Templar wanted me to help, and I was able to use these humans to teach Klein a memorable lesson, and I think he would be very impressed by my enthusiasm. ”

Hearing the mockery hidden in Jenn's words, Enoa only shook her head slightly. As the maid Jenn first summoned, she certainly knew that Jenn and Klein didn't like each other. In Jenn's opinion, Klein was just an idiot, and if he didn't have enough power, then he was nothing at all. As for Jenn's words, Klein only regarded him as a dog barking for a defeated dog, and ignored it at all. He is only bent on revenge on humanity, and for Klein, the meaning of his current life is to watch all human beings die, whether it is a man, a woman, an old man, or a child, all human beings will die tragically after suffering from painful torture, and then let their souls fall into the depths of darkness, never to be able to transcend.

But Jenn is not like this, he does not have any affection for humans in this world, but thinks that human toys should dig deeper into their essence so that they can be interesting to play with. Instead of simply and brutally killing things, this is certainly cool for a while, but be careful of the whole family crematorium behind.........

This is interesting, Jenn can be sure that the Templar Order does not know about his relationship with Klein, otherwise he would not dare to let himself go to the front, and it is such an important place as the Chaos Coast. But Jenn didn't mind adding to Klein's plans and making him angry. He didn't know much about his own power anyway, and as long as Jenn was careful, then nothing would go wrong. Besides, what if Klein finds out? It's a big deal to tear the face and call Vivien and Nabelius to help. No matter how powerful Klein is, it is impossible for him to fight the three of them together.

Just then, there was another knock on the door, and then the white and Archbishop Howard were seen walking in again. As Jenn expected, at this moment, the white cardinal's face no longer had the swaggering expression he had before, but a look of dejection. After entering the room, feeling Jenn's gaze, the white cardinal tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing an expression that was better than crying, and then spoke.

"My lord, the Supreme Council has agreed to your request, and after reaching the Chaos Coast, you will be solely responsible for defending the Endless Harbor, without following anyone's orders."

"I accept the will of the Supreme Council."

It was only then that Jenn finally stood up, and then he looked at the white cardinal and spoke solemnly.

"I am here to assure the Supreme Council that for the sake of justice and goodness, I swear to fight those evil undead until the last moment!"

Hearing Jenn's righteous answer, the white cardinal only felt that he was about to cry when he was moved............ (To be continued......)
