Chapter 510: Lockdown
After eliminating the elder bishop, the king quickly captured the town of Long River with his soldiers.
There is no resistance left in the town. After witnessing the castle in the sky, the people were completely impressed by Benjamin's magical abilities. They believed that with such a mage in his presence, foreign armies would not be able to harm them, so they were glad that the town was occupied.
As for the officials of the town, unfortunately, the mayor of the town, who was not young, was thrown directly from the air by the bishop, and although someone followed, he was still seriously injured and died. The rest of the management of Changhe Town is the captain of the guard, the treasurer, the steward and the like.
The king summoned them to the town hall, and after the meeting, they all pledged their loyalty to the king. As a result, their positions were all retained, and the administrative structure of Changhe Town did not change much.
"I ...... Finally back. ”
In the town hall, everyone else was gone, and the king sat on the high seat, gently rubbing the armrest of the seat with his hand, and for a moment he was full of emotion.
The seat is just an ordinary seat, not very ornate, and it can't be compared to Glory's throne at all. But the king's expression looked more precious than sitting on the throne.
- In order to sit up, he also suffered a lot.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, but ...... This is just the beginning, we haven't really taken Carretus back yet!" Benjamin came in through the door. Seeing this, he smiled helplessly and said so.
The king looked up and glanced at Benjamin: "...... You've got to make me happy for a while. ”
Benjamin stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we are not yet at a time to rejoice. ”
The king was helpless, shook his head, and said, "Okay, okay...... By the way, didn't you say before that after you helped me lay down Changhe Town, you would have to deal with other things, why haven't you left yet?"
"I'll be leaving soon. Benjamin nodded and said, "But before I do, I have a few things to attend to." ”
So saying, he took out a notebook and handed it to the king.
The king took it with a frown, and flipped it over. I saw that the book was full of names I hadn't heard of, line by line, and it felt like some kind of list.
"It's ......"
"This man with a gift for magic listed by the Church. Benjamin replied, "Your Majesty, do you remember the conditions I promised to help you at the beginning? ”
The king was stunned: "You want to get it now?" but...... There are no other mages here, aren't you leaving right away? I can send someone to find them, but who will teach them?"
Benjamin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already sent a message to the mages who are following me, and they're all rushing here." Besides, I'm not out all the time, and I'll be back soon. ”
When the king heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.
“...... That's good. ”
Although they have taken over the town of Long River, the Church still has a lot of power under its command. In case the people of the church besiege them, without the support of the mages represented by Benjamin, the priest and the paladin alone can beat them to the ground.
To put it bluntly, their situation is actually quite dangerous.
Therefore, he actually hopes that Benjamin can be stationed in Long River Town and help him beat the church and Ikor out little by little. But...... After all, it was Benjamin, and the king couldn't ask for anything.
"Well, then I'll take my leave. Benjamin took out another piece of wood and handed it to the king, "If anything unexpected happens, let me know with this thing." ”
The king nodded, and took the piece of wood with a solemn expression.
Benjamin smiled and turned to leave.
He walked briskly out of the town hall.
It's still morning, it's early. The streets of Long River were bustling with people, soldiers were busy issuing orders from the king, recruiting people in the town who would like to join them in battle, and the whole town was in a thriving atmosphere.
It is indeed a place worth developing.
When the news spreads, the eyes of all Carretus will be drawn to them, the church will hate them, and those who are willing to support them will come from all over the world.
For example, the merchant Hal went to meet the king early this morning, and wrote to his other merchant friends, asking them to enter the town of Long River to support the king.
In a word...... Counterattacking back from the town step by step, they should still have a chance to win, right?
Benjamin greeted the people on the road as he walked out. After last night's battle, he was almost more famous in the town than the king, and everyone looked at him with admiration and curiosity, which made him feel unaccustomed too.
Therefore, he could only walk out of Changhe Town first, and then use magic to take off in a low-key manner, so as not to cause another scream like a brain-dead powder.
Flying in the sky, Benjamin rushed all the way towards Glory.
"Still no news. He took out the sound-transmitting woodpiece, looked at it, and said to himself, "Even if Glory is a Longtan Tiger's Den, it's been a few days, why hasn't Miles heard any news at all?"
The system spoke: "I don't know, maybe he died there a long time ago." ”
“......”
"I don't mean anything, I'm just stating a possibility. ”
Benjamin shook his head helplessly.
With Miles' magically immune physique, it is basically impossible for him to be killed by the church. Therefore, he couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with Glori?
After all, from the invasion of Ikor to the present, the situation in Grorenne seems to have been cordoned off, and no news has come out, not even a little rumor. Last night, another bishop appeared in the area of Changhe Town for some reason, and another bishop was nowhere to be found.
What the hell is the church doing?
Therefore, Benjamin had to go and find out for himself.
The distance between the town and Glory was a little far, and he flew as fast as he could for a long time, until the evening of the same day, when he finally approached the classical and glorious city.
However, as soon as the city gate came into view, Benjamin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
The gates were closed.
The whole atmosphere in Glory looked a little weird. The gates were closed, and there was no intention of opening them. There were quite a few people patrolling the city, but if you looked closely, the people on patrol were not soldiers, but those paladins wearing special armor made by the church, and they didn't hide it at all.
Benjamin couldn't help but shake his head.
This posture, those who don't know, think that Ikor is besieging the city, and Glory is guarding the door behind closed doors!
He looked back at the main road outside the city. However, on the roads, the busyness of the past has vanished, and there is not even a single figure to be seen, and it is so deserted that it is to death.
Benjamin couldn't even ask a passer-by about it.
Trouble...... Do you want to break in?
