As the words fell, the Priest asked with a bit of confusion:
"Why can't we wait until they and the monster are both badly injured, then step in to clean up the mess?"
"Don't you understand?"
The Archbishop glanced sideways at the Priest, then said:
"The battle with the monster can't be predicted using common sense, and the Mimic Heretics are not ordinary enemies."
"We can't guarantee they don't have the capability to eliminate that monster, nor can we guarantee that, after they eliminate it, we can arrive at the battlefield in time to seize the treasure within the Jinling Ruins."
"No one knows what the treasure inside the Jinling Ruins is, but those massive underground vaults, I don't think you haven't seen them."
"If they seize the opportunity to enter the vault first, we will be faced with an extremely passive situation."
"Therefore, eliminating the monster was never the goal; it's just an obstacle to the ultimate objective."
