Chapter 503: A Den in the Attic

The distance between the town of Changhe and the granary is less than a few kilometers.

It didn't take much time to occupy the granary, so the king set out again with his soldiers and began to march towards the town of Changhe.

It was a medium-sized town, located a little remotely east of Carretus, but also far from the political center. Choosing this place as their starting point is also a safer option.

In fact, Benjamin's suggestion was not something that popped into his head as soon as it was hot.

He had considered a number of factors. First of all, it was far from the border, and Ikor's army would have to step past Grayry if they wanted to threaten them. Secondly, the transportation here is quite convenient, and after the occupation, it is convenient to pass on the news, and it is convenient to attract loyal ministers such as the granary manager of the whole country......

Finally, they really need a place to stay.

Ikor's invasion was like a catalyst that pushed the situation of Carretus to the precipice in an instant. They don't have time to slowly win the support of the people, so they can only occupy a place first, and then they can find a way to bring back Glori little by little.

As the church's wanted warrant says, there is no place, they are always just "bandits".

So, in the silence of the night, the king marched with his soldiers.

Compared to a granary, capturing a town is certainly not a simple matter. Therefore, Benjamin left them behind first and flew directly into the town of Long River alone.

It's not early and the town is quiet. The streets are deserted, and there are not even many pedestrians. Half of the lights from the houses along the street have been extinguished.

Some soldiers walked along the road with lamps, but there were few of them and they didn't look alarmed. In general, this is an ordinary and quiet town, and it is possible that a gang of bandits will not be able to stop it, let alone a team of elite soldiers.

However, Benjamin is well aware that the church definitely has an eyeliner presence here.

He'd have to find these people first.

Therefore, like an owl flying by in the night, he turned on the water elemental perception method and skimmed back and forth over Changhe Town, so that the system could scan all the situation in the town.

"Hmm...... There are some suspicious guys, but it's hard to judge. "If you can determine the number of people, there are two in the tavern to the north and four in the tavern to the east, and they seem to have been frightened by your actions in the tavern before. There is an attic near the centre of town with a dozen ......"

Listening to the report of the system, Benjamin gradually knew in his heart.

In the face of this town, the king will not completely use force to occupy it, but use the name of "the king's return" to try to make the town belong to him on its own. And in the process of attachment, if there are thorns jumping out to make trouble, it will definitely be more troublesome for them.

Therefore, Benjamin had to deal with the thorns first.

Fortunately, his current perception ability of the water element is very fine, and this kind of conspiracy or something, with the cooperation of his perception and systematic analysis, it is absolutely impossible to hide.

He went first to the attic where the church had the most people.

"The camp has been sealed off and no one is allowed to enter or leave. I'm afraid the entire army has fallen to the side of the demons, and they could attack Long River at any time......"

Outside the attic window, Benjamin heard the words.

It's quite clever.

He couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

There were quite a few people in the attic, half of the dozen or so people were priests, and nine times out of ten they were the church's stronghold in Changhe Town. There were also some notebooks hidden in the drawers of the desk, which recorded the information they had investigated, possibly the occupants of the Free Mage's Declaration, some people who were sure to have learned magic, and what had been solved and which had not......

Potential mages that have already been killed will have a cross drawn after their name, as if they had been purified.

When the system fed this back to Benjamin, Benjamin couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

He didn't expect that the "Declaration of Free Mages" would also spread to such towns, giving birth to new mages. He didn't expect that the people of the church had already begun to harvest these sprouts.

It's a never-ending struggle.

The only thing to be thankful for is that there aren't many crosses on that list.

The conversation in the attic continued, and Benjamin, with a cold face, pushed open the window and flew in.

"Who? ...... you?"

"Surprised?" Benjamin interrupted directly, and the frost spread like vines on the attic walls, "I see that you are looking for a mage, so I will send it to the door myself." ”

Before everyone could react, the entire attic was completely sealed off by frost. The temperature in the attic plummeted, and the stunned mouths began to exhale white air.

"You...... You're that Master Benjamin!" a priest cried out in horror after a moment's pause.

"Am I so famous?" said Benjamin, pulling the corners of his mouth and smiling, "now that you've recognized me, you should know what you're going to do, right?"

He clapped his hands, and a wide, sharp Ice Moon Blade suddenly condensed and took shape, spinning faintly around him.

The priests took a few steps back, and someone was already trying to push the door and escape. Unfortunately, the door had long been frozen into ice, and they pushed it with their hands, and their hands were almost frozen on it.

They could only turn their heads to look at Benjamin, who was slowly approaching, with a look of despair.

"Someday, you will be punished for the crimes you have committed!" said the priest, huddled together, shivering, pointing at Benjamin.

Benjamin sneered.

"The sins you have defined, you can only punish me with your own hands. He walked over to the priests, the Moonblade already cutting through the shields of the Light, "And now, I'm going to define each of you as sinful and will sink in Hell and suffer eternal suffering. ”

"No, you're just a human being, you're not qualified to define sin......"

Benjamin interrupted the other with a spinning moonblade.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in having a theological debate with you. He smiled and walked forward, each step like a path to the underworld. Every swing of the moon blade takes away a life full of resentment and unwillingness.

Blood crept away on the frosty walls.

From the time Benjamin used his magic to kill all the people in these dozen churches, it was probably only a matter of half a minute.

Half a minute later, Benjamin shook his robe, which had not been stained with any blood, turned around, opened the drawer of the table, and took out the notebooks that recorded the information.

There is not only a list of mages, but also a list of church people in Long River.

Benjamin flipped open his notepad and smiled coldly.

This is probably the harvest of ending an underground tissue den.

Before the king could rush in with his army, he had to clean up the rats.

So Benjamin closed the page and lifted the spell. In the darkness of the night, he flew out of the window, like a ghost hidden in the darkness, rushing to harvest the next "holy" soul.
