"This ...... Is that the legendary Venerable Benjamin? We have heard of Your Excellency's name for a long time, and it is indeed an honor for us to finally meet you today. ”

In the northernmost part of the kingdom of Hori, in the dense forest leaning against the ghostly abyss, six nobles came here in disguise and met Benjamin, who had come to the appointment. They didn't look very energetic, but as soon as they met, they still took out the flattering words they relied on for survival, and looked up and down as they spoke.

Benjamin heard this and tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"When I lived in the royal capital, you don't know how many times you saw me, so don't say such things. He really didn't have the heart to be polite to them, so he asked bluntly, "Tell me, what are you looking for me for?"

The horse's fart slapped on the horse's leg, and the nobles were obviously a little embarrassed. However, they exchanged glances, and soon, Duke Colin stepped forward and said, "We want to know the truth about His Majesty's death. ”

Benjamin shook his head and asked, "What is the truth, does it still make sense to you now?"

Duke Colin said categorically: "Of course there is, it is very important!"

"Oh well. Benjamin sighed and said slowly, "It's Grant, your Pope, who followed me all the way from Koster to the king's location. In the course of my battle with him, he killed His Majesty by trickery, and I had no time to stop it, so I ...... And that's what it is. ”

"The Pope's ......"

Hearing this answer, the nobles looked at each other and gasped in unison, but if they really wanted to look at their eyes, they couldn't say how surprised they were.

It seems that they had expected this outcome for a long time.

"What's going on with Haven Wright now?" asked Benjamin in passing, "the death of the king, the death of the queen...... There's not even a nominal puppet, what is the church going to do?"

“...... They plan to set up a little princess. ”

"She's only four years old this year, isn't she?" Benjamin frowned, "What's the difference between helping a four-year-old girl and usurping the throne?"

The nobles shook their heads in unison.

"It's because we can't tolerate this kind of thing that we have to meet with you. Duke Colin gritted his teeth and said, "Let's just put it bluntly, including me, the six people on the scene have all secretly raised an army in their own territory." ”

"The army?"

"That's right, the army, well-trained soldiers who can compete with the regular army. Another nobleman also spoke, "We don't dare to raise too much, but the combined strength of all people is almost 50,000 people." ”

Hearing this, Benjamin really had a bit of surprise in his heart.

Is there really an army?

Private armies are strictly forbidden in the Kingdom of Horry, and this is one of the most resolute directives of the Church. Because of this, the nobles have always behaved like a rather weak chicken, at most they play a little trick, and they don't look like they have the courage to engage in the army at all.

Moreover, the aristocracy has always shown a tendency towards peaceful reform, and they dare not tear their faces with the church when they die, but now, they say that they actually have an army, which is really a bit sudden.

These people ...... It's too deep, isn't it?

"Under the watchful eye of the church, do you really have an army?" thought Benjamin, who made no secret of his suspicions.

"There are many remote places in the kingdom of Hori, and it is impossible for the church to penetrate every corner. Duke Colin replied, "Actually, not only the army, but also the mages trained by each of our families add up to three digits. ”

“...... Are you serious when you tell me this?"

"Seriously, of course. Duke Colin looked a little anxious, "The Pope has begun to doubt us, if we don't do something, when the time comes, no one will be spared." ”

When Benjamin heard this, he touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

If what these nobles say is true......

Then, without the support of the royal power and the stalemate in the situation, a new turn for the better finally appeared in front of them. Although an army of 50,000 people is nothing, when the church officially puts the princess on the throne, it will definitely provoke a new round of discontent. Just as General Stewart was in charge of Freden, the people would spontaneously rise up to rebel against the rule of the Church.

And when the time comes, those rebel armies ...... In fact, they are their own people.

In addition, the Academy of Magic already has a group of mages rushing here. If Benjamin was ruthless, it would not be difficult to cobble together an army of several thousand mages.

- They will have the ability to fight the church head-on.

"If you have this power, why didn't you tell me sooner?" asked Benjamin, though.

“...... This is the hole card we use to save our lives. ”

"The sooner this hole card is taken out, His Majesty the King may not even die. ”

“......”

The nobles were so frightened that they had nothing to say and bowed their heads, not knowing if they were regretting their original decision.

"I need to see your army, and I'll discuss everything after I've confirmed. Benjamin continued, "I want you to understand that at this point, there is no turning back for you, and you can only fight the church to the end." ”

"Of course we understand, otherwise, we wouldn't have said everything today. ”

Benjamin nodded.

In this way, after a short meeting, he and several nobles left the remote woods and hurried towards their respective army stations. The next action would be very dangerous, and it was necessary to confirm it with his own eyes, otherwise, he would not be able to determine whether the nobleman's words were true or false.

It took about half a day for them to fly all over the kingdom of Hori, and Benjamin also saw these six armies hidden in the deep mountains and old forests.

Although secretive, each camp is set up quite completely, and these nobles obviously spend a lot of money in it. Surprisingly, every army has been formed for at least four or five years, and it seems that the nobles have been preparing for it for a long time.

"This is the deepest secret hidden by each family, like the Fur family, which raised an army of more than 20,000 people, but unfortunately when their family was destroyed, the secret army was also found out and buried alive by the church on the periphery of the Warcraft Mountain Range. As he watched from the sidelines, Duke Colin said this, and Benjamin was shocked when he heard it.

So...... Will the Reeser have such an army?

He didn't know, but after all this time, the question had obviously lost its relevance.

Walking through the six camps, Benjamin carefully sensed every nook and cranny of the camps, and the system scanned the whole process. Eventually, he could be sure that everything the nobleman said was true.

Under the noses of the church, they really quietly hid an army of 50,000 men.

"Now, can the Dean trust our determination?" Later, in the village on the shores of Pearl Lake, they met again, and the six nobles looked at Benjamin like the last straw, "We can start talking about how to pull the church down." ”
