Although Morris has put a lot of effort into the study of the undead, the study of combining runes and magic items is still the main task of their magic item department.

If you want to close the gap between ordinary people and spellcasters, these breakthrough magic items will be the most critical means. Like the small round shield they developed before, after improvement, the cost has been greatly reduced, and now it can be mass-produced. Later, Morris researched a magic item that could make ordinary people stay in the air for a short time.

"The way this necklace is activated is very simple, as long as you crush a bead on it with your hand, it can bring nearly half an hour of the ability to stay in the air to any ordinary person who uses it. There are a total of ten beads on it, and overall it is still very durable. ”

A few days ago, while listening to Morris's introduction, Benjamin realized that they could already build an army that could stand up to the spellcaster.

The mobility of the flight is actually the biggest factor that separates the caster from the ordinary person. As long as the mage flies in the sky, ordinary soldiers can basically only be beaten. But this new discovery gave them a chance to fight back.

Benjamin also found someone to experiment, as long as the mercenary drinks the potion, and with the help of the power of this magic prop, he can jump into the air at a height of more than ten meters and calmly attack in a balanced state. Coupled with that small round shield with extremely strong magic ability defense, an ordinary level caster may not be able to beat him.

And after that, once the new type of offensive magic props is researched, with the addition of various equipment, even an ordinary person can have a powerful combat power that is not inferior to that of a mage.

This is also one of the important reasons why Benjamin suddenly proposed to build an army.

"Okay...... Since that's what you mean, I'll start preparing for the secret army. ”

Wallis was aware of the new developments in the magic items, but he had clearly not thought of it yet. After listening to Benjamin's instructions, he looked a little confused, but nodded anyway.

Benjamin looked at his back as he left, but he didn't feel any lighter in his heart.

In his original thinking, it would take a long time to complete all this. It will take until the academy has trained enough mages, the secret army is familiar with the use of various items, the research of runes and undead has broken through bottlenecks, and the treasury has accumulated enough expenses to support it all...... It wasn't until the Academy of Magic became a true powerhouse that they officially went to war with the Church.

It's just that the church may not be so kind to wait for them.

The loss of the key is just an opportunity, and the Kingdom of Hori can be regarded as having a pretext for starting a war. Benjamin guessed that when they were really ready, they would definitely not hesitate to send troops.

Ikor is at the forefront of the defense against the Church, and during this time, the former president of the Mage Guild has gradually gathered a strong mage force. It's just that in the face of the church, Benjamin doesn't know how long they can resist.

After thinking about it, Benjamin sent a few more messages to the president.

"I've produced some strategic power-ups here, and the Church is currently on the move, so I can sell them to you if you need them. ”

The Holy Light Cannon has been put into production for a long time, and because of the high cost and cumbersome production, two have been manufactured and placed in the storeroom of the academy to accumulate dust. But if other countries want to make it to order, they can continue to produce it.

- In extraordinary times, Benjamin doesn't mind being an arms dealer either.

To put it bluntly, this thing originally belonged to the church, and he didn't feel distressed at all when he took it out and sold it to other countries. It would be great if he could help Ikor resist a possible invasion of the church.

Within a few days of the news, he had received replies from the President, King Carretus, and General Stewart.

Obviously, a strategic weapon like this must be at the top of every country's leader's mind. Benjamin has now tinkered with this, and if it is only sold to one country, it will certainly not work.

A few days later, a seminar dedicated to the distribution of the Holy Light Cannons was even put together.

"As Dean Benjamin deserves, even such a confidential drawing can be obtained from the hands of the church. The general took Benjamin's hand, shook it vigorously, and said, "Compared to you, my spies sent to the kingdom of Hori are nothing short of rubbish." ”

"Where, Where, ......"

"However, in the past few days, the people on our side have indeed found some not-so-good news from the Horry Kingdom. The president said, "There has been a sudden mass movement of paladins in the territory, and the whereabouts of some troops are also suspicious. Is this why Dean Benjamin is now selling us the Holy Light Cannon?"

When Benjamin heard this, he also put away his smile and nodded.

"I suspect that the church may suddenly go to war. "A few days ago, they just cleared up their civil strife. And for some reason, I them off again. So...... That's the church, you should understand. ”

Suddenly, the general showed a solemn expression and nodded, as if he had heard some rumors. The king was a little surprised, as if he had not been alert beforehand.

Seeing this, Benjamin couldn't help but shake his head.

"We shouldn't be involved in these things like our Academy of Magic, but the Church, that's the enemy of all of us, that's why I raised the issue of the sale of the Holy Light Cannon. He said slowly, "Because Ikor is close to the Kingdom of Hori, for every three cannons we sell to Ikor, we will sell one to the other two countries, how about it?"

Hearing this, several people present were silent for a moment, and finally nodded.

This model is already quite fair. Ikor is originally in power between the two countries, and with the strict supervision of both sides, there will be no variables because of a few more cannons. Now is the church on the move, and it's not a good time for them to confront each other.

We have to come together.

"Since we've reached this juncture, then I won't hide it. The general was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "I just got a confidential piece of information about the latest movements in the Hori Kingdom. Suddenly there was a movement of grain and grass in their territory, and I suspect that it had something to do with their war plans. ”

"Where is the grain and grass moving?"

"From the south of the Kingdom of Hori, a granary called Mulland was transferred out, all the way to the east, the target was near the town of Kru, and now there should be only a dozen kilometers left. "I don't know what the church is planning, but once the supplies are in place, I think they may be able to send troops." ”
