Benjamin quickly customized the battle plan.

Near the Crussad Gate, although the area is not very prosperous, there are several important military towns, as well as a large granary that is quite important for the Kingdom of Hori. And with the gradual development of the Black Tnight Army, at present, their strength is enough to capture this kind of stronghold with considerable defense.

However, moving through the long tunnels will also require some moving tools.

Thankfully, he had been prepared.

"Is the tank finished?"

With this in mind, Benjamin went to the armament camp and asked Morris, who was stuck in the pile of drawings.

"It should be all done tomorrow. Morris looked up and said a little tiredly, "But...... I have to remind you that these vehicles were all made out of the way, and I didn't have that much time to elaborate them, so the quality was not very good. In the event of a violent impact, there is a high probability that the frame will fall apart. ”

"But it can transport people, right?"

"Yes, not only can, but it's much faster than the average horse, and one can carry a lot of people. At this point, Morris thought for a moment and added, "But like you asked for...... It's lethal on the battlefield, and I think it's best not to count on it, it's too brittle. ”

"I see. ”

Benjamin patted the other man on the shoulder, said no more, and turned to leave the tent. He then went to the camp's warehouses and saw the crude chariot that had just been built.

It was a huge wooden vehicle. According to Benjamin's previous description, Morris designed it as a bus-like structure that looked a bit bulky. At the same time, rows of runes are engraved on the bottom of the vehicle, which serves as the support of the chariot and the original power for this thing to run.

Because it was designed to be in a hurry, it still needed the control of the mage to get it running.

Benjamin boarded the chariot, sat in the "driver's seat", reached out and held the steering wheel, and used his mental power to communicate with the entire chariot. In the next second, the wheels of the chariot slowly turned, driving the whole cart and began to move forward slowly.

The terrain around him was narrow, so he could only give it a little try, then he stopped and walked down from it.

“...... It's okay. ”

He looked at the chariot and nodded in satisfaction.

There are no complicated war equipment in this world, and it was only after the Dark Nightmare Army gradually took shape that Benjamin put forward such a production requirement in order to facilitate running around with this large group of people. Of course, it would be great if you could create something like a rune tank, but at this level, it will definitely not be reached.

But...... Since it was a chariot, even if Morris said that it had no combat effectiveness, Benjamin still saw in it the possibility of bringing it to the battlefield, not just a means of transportation.

"If you want me to say, why don't you bring the Holy Light cannon from the academy? That's the real weapon of war. The system jumped out and complained.

"That thing is too bulky. Benjamin shrugged helplessly, and replied in his heart, "We're still fighting guerrilla warfare, how can we move such a heavy thing." Wait, and when we can actually take a stronghold, we'll use that thing for positional warfare. ”

“...... Okay. So the system went silent.

Benjamin also left the warehouse area and returned to his main tent.

A few days passed in the rush of preparation, and during this time, nothing seemed to have changed in the outside world. The church seemed to have suddenly quieted down again, not knowing what it was doing, and there were still some rebels in various parts of the kingdom, but they had subsided a lot compared to the initial craze.

The intelligence around Haven is so blocked that it is completely impossible to detect. There has been no news from the nobles, and Benjamin feels a little strange, but they are hiding here, and Duke Colin probably doesn't know how to contact them, so he is not in a hurry.

Around the afternoon of the third day, a brigade of hundreds of chariots, across the entire underpass, came from the bottom of Lake Pearl to the exit at the other end.

Then, in the middle of the night, the Nightmare returned to the surface.

Only this time, they launched attacks on several targets at once.

"Your team is in charge of the granary in the north, you are in charge of the town in the south, you follow Joanna to attack the military fortress three kilometers away, you follow me to ......" The battle arrangement has already been decided, between Benjamin's command, on the wasteland, the Black Nightmare army quickly divided into five teams and set off in different directions.

He is still quite confident in this battle plan. Even in a dream, the church could not have dreamed that there was a long passage under the kingdom of Hori, and that the Black Nightmare would use it to reappear in the eastern border of the kingdom after disappearing for a few days.

The dark night will also become their best accomplice.

Meanwhile.

“...... What happened to our kingdom?"

In the eastern border of the Kingdom of Hori, on the walls of Salman City, the king ** who was guarding the city looked at the barren mountains in the distance, couldn't help but sigh, and said.

As the military center of the kingdom, Salman City is not large, but it has far more garrisons than ordinary cities. Many of the ordnance was kept in the city's warehouses, where nearly a hundred priests lived, and a bishop guarded the church. Salman City is flanked on both sides by hills, so the city has become an important checkpoint for guarding the area.

Just like tonight, even though it was late, nearly a hundred soldiers were still guarding the city.

"Who knows? The Bishop said that it was the mages who did it. Maybe it was because the long night was too quiet, or maybe it was the chaos in the kingdom that they couldn't help but worry, and soon other soldiers responded, "But, what does His Majesty the Pope think? It's been so long, it's time to take action!"

"Shh......h Be quiet, you dare to talk about His Majesty the Pope, and you want to die if you are heard!"

"But there have been a lot of bad rumors lately......"

"Shhh

"This is Salman City, how can there be bandits who don't fight here for a long time?"

"You still say, okay, okay, one day you will die on this mouth......"

In short, after a whispered discussion, everyone obediently closed their mouths. They have heard a little about the rumors in the royal capital, and no one can afford to test the Pope's temper anymore, and no matter how stunned the boy is, they have to forcibly block it back.

However, it was around this time......

"Kill!"

Voices from far and near suddenly came from behind them.

The soldiers were stunned. They turned their heads in astonishment, only to see a large dense crowd of figures suddenly appear in the hills in the other direction of Salman City, like killer ants in the jungle crossing the border, rushing towards them all over the mountains.

"That's, that's ......"

The soldiers never expected this scene.

But what shocked them even more was that after a while, nearly a hundred small dots rose from the charging crowd, floating into the air, getting closer and closer, and finally became the hundred mages in their sight.

The leader of them was surrounded by flying blue splinters, and his young face looked very familiar.

The soldiers all subconsciously took a step back.

"Enemy ...... Enemy attack!"

In the next second, a heart-rending shout rang out in Salman City, resounding through the dark night sky tonight.
