Mixed in with the ice arrows in the sky, the crystal ball was like an inconspicuous glass bead, and without even attracting any attention, it flew towards the priest under the shield. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Benjamin chose a place with the highest crowds, where a group of priests were huddled and treating paladins.

In the blink of an eye, the crystal ball slammed into the shield, and there was a strange crisp sound.

"W-What is that?" the priest at the head realized that something was wrong, and his expression was incredulous.

I saw that the golden shield was broken in an instant, as if the tempered glass that had been shattered, turned into countless fragments and disappeared into the air. The power of the crystal ball continued unabated, and it smashed towards the most densely populated place.

Boom!

There was a muffled sound, as if someone had hammered the priest's head in the heart. Although he was not in the direction of the crystal ball's attack, the tremor of the ground under his feet and the chills all over his body at that moment were like sharp blades stabbing straight at him, making him feel white in front of him.

How could the shield summoned by everyone be possible...... How could it be broken like that?

Thinking of the entrustment that Bishop Cameron had entrusted to him, and the responsibility he had on his shoulders, the priest felt that the world was spinning. They don't want to die here, they ...... Can't die here!

He couldn't believe his eyes even more.

That...... What the hell is it?

The crystal ball smashed into the ground, smashing a large crater and kicking up a cloud of dust. The smell of blood in the air became even stronger, indicating how terrifying the destructive power of the ball was.

In the face of such a sudden outburst, the church team was somewhat overwhelmed. The people who were hit were all dead, and the people who were not hit could only show a stunned look, looking at the direction in which the pit appeared, and forgetting to move.

"W-That thing...... It's a magic item! Grab it!"

Only the priest who was the leader, as if struck by lightning, suddenly a spirit rushed in the direction of the pit. He looked very excited, as if he had finally found Benjamin's weakness.

However, another rain of ice arrows fell in the sky.

The ice arrow enveloped the priest, but he did not react, and with a fanatical expression, he rushed towards the point where the crystal ball landed. Unfortunately, his persistence did not pay off - the last few life-saving crosses shattered, and he was pierced through his chest by an ice arrow, and he reluctantly stretched out his hand and fell less than a meter from the crystal ball.

Seeing this, Benjamin's face was calm and he shook his head.

This guy actually wants to snatch the crystal ball...... If you don't have enough strength, don't think about killing back.

However, this act of the priest was convenient for him.

After killing the head priest, Benjamin did not stop casting spells. Wave after wave of ice arrows condensed from his feet, like a row of machine guns, and swept towards the team below.

At this time, the priest lost his command, could not react, and had not yet summoned a new round of shields.

As a result, the next tragic situation can be predicted. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the rain of ice arrows, hundreds of paladins could not hold out for half a minute and fell one after another. The priest, on the other hand, carried the first wave of ice arrows on the remaining cross, and then fled in all directions in a panic.

Seeing this, Benjamin summoned another circle of ice mist, sealing off the entire battlefield, not allowing any priest to escape from here.

Unfortunately, these priests escaped with many means. Most of them used life-saving crosses and magical shields to protect themselves, and ran all the way out, eventually being frozen into an ice sculpture by the ice mist. Some priests saw the opportunity for the ice mist to be consumed by others' lives, and used the flying magic to rush out, and fled as if they were dead.

After all, there were many people to deal with, and Benjamin lacked skills and couldn't manage it for a while, so he had to let those people escape.

However, not many people can escape like this.

At the beginning, there were hundreds of priests, and when the crystal ball was smashed, there were only eighty or ninety left. Of these eighty or ninety people, only a dozen or so managed to escape. Others were either turned into ice sculptures or hunted to death by Benjamin, blood spilled all over the untouched wilderness.

In short, Benjamin couldn't say he was satisfied, but he nodded anyway.

For the church, this should be powerful enough. Before, they were afraid of Benjamin's magical prowess, but since then, they have ...... Hopefully they will be more fearful.

Don't play a trick like this in front of him anymore.

After tidying up the battlefield, Benjamin hurried away, leaving the messy corpse here as a gift he left for the church. At this moment, he had to rush to the rendezvous point in the Candela Mountains and lay out his next plan.

- Although there was a beautiful ambush, don't forget that their stronghold in Carretus has been fully discovered. The situation is very serious, and their entire plan may have to be restarted.

And after this battle, Benjamin believes that these people will become regulars on the wanted list.

In this way, he made a rapid journey, and in the evening, he finally arrived at the meeting point.

"How's it going?

In the secluded woods, Benjamin finally saw his mage, and he didn't care about the fatigue of the journey, so he immediately walked up and asked a little nervously.

"Fortunately, a few spies were killed, and no one was left behind and injured. Wallis nodded and replied, "However, some of the strongholds are too far away from here, and they may not be able to arrive until tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow." ”

When Benjamin heard this, he knew that this kind of thing was certain, so he didn't say anything.

They have magic items to deliver messages and report the situation regularly, which can guarantee the safety of people. If something happens and someone in the team suddenly misses the time of the report, Benjamin will find it according to the location of the last report.

All in all, they must be gathered here safe and sound.

In this way, on the outskirts of the Candela Mountains, Benjamin and his party hid here, patiently waiting for the arrival of the other companions. Until noon the next day, everything was safe, no accidents occurred, and the mages arrived one after another. That afternoon, however, in one of the farthest strongholds in the Candela Mountains, the mages suddenly lost contact with them.

At that time, Benjamin sat in the tent, looking at the silent wood chips in his hand, and his heart sank.

...... Got caught?

"Tony, Andal, Sain, Winnie, Lingda, five people in total. "Interestingly, they were all on that fake list, and they weren't really the church's target. But now, because they are the farthest away, they fall into an accident instead. ”

Benjamin's face was solemn.

The last time the team reported was two hours ago, when they had just bypassed Amber City......

That area was originally the heartland of Carretus, and the government had strong control, and if they were really targeted by the church, they would have been more than lucky.

"I'll have to go over and take a look. ”

Thinking of this, Benjamin immediately stood up and walked out of the tent.

"Don't you think this could be a trap?" the system reminded.

"The church did not ambush me, but dealt with my mages first, which shows that they are afraid of my strength and dare not use this as a trap. I have to save them. ”

"Why are you so persistent?" the system's tone is still the same, "they chose to follow you, and they expected this day to come." Sacrificing such things is inevitable for you. Giving up part of the overall situation is the most rational decision. ”

Benjamin ignored the system's reminders, jumped and flew straight out.

"Sacrifice, sanity...... These things are clear to me. He said slowly in his heart, "But, fuck the big picture." I have more than 100 men under me now. I can't even manage more than 100 people, so what can I do to fight with the church?"
