Chapter 705: Another Fugitive
The moment he heard the truth, Benjamin felt a headache.
The front foot was still writing to him that the plan was going well, and when the back foot waited for him to come, things turned upside down. He wanted to pull Dick by the collar and ask everything clear, but ...... In the current situation, it is clear that there is no such gap.
Priests and cleansers in the distance kept coming, all rushing towards this direction at great speed, and some had even begun to chant. The magic fluctuations came from afar, and the atmosphere of pre-war stagnation suddenly calmed Benjamin's mood at that moment.
A battle is inevitable.
He roughly looked around.
Among these people...... Grant wasn't there.
Realizing this, Benjamin's mood suddenly lightened a lot. Although he still didn't quite understand the situation, he could handle these pursuers.
"While I have time to deal with these guys, think about how to explain all this. ā
Throwing off such a sentence, Benjamin ignored Dick, who was still trembling, and flew into the air alone, rushing towards the group of about a hundred or so church men.
Flying splinters of ice condensed from his side, and then, like a heavy rain, poured down on the enemy!
At that moment, both the priest and the cleanser had a stunned look on their faces.
"Wait...... That's the dean of the Academy of Magic! there's a mistake in the information, how could he be here?"
"You can't fight with him, go back and inform His Majesty the Pope!"
Their orderly formation fell apart in an instant, and the washers reined in the saddle as fast as they could, trying to turn the horse's head. The priest in the air also turned around in a hurry, without the slightest intention of making a desperate plan.
Seeing this, Benjamin frowned slightly.
Didn't these people expect him to show up?
"Want to run, it's not that easy!"
In any case, he did not intend to let go of these church men. Once the news leaks, who knows what will happen?
Benjamin's speed was undoubtedly the fastest of all those present, and he quickly approached the ranks of the church. Tens of thousands of pieces of ice condensed from his side, as if hundreds of machine guns were firing at the same time, and the ice flew out in all directions.
Those people in the church look at their scalps tingling.
They ran away as they propped up their shields. However, the strafing of the crushed ice was too dense, and it was difficult to block it all with a single layer of holy light barrier. But in the blink of an eye, countless washers fell from their horses, and their armor was shattered. Priests gushing with blood kept falling from the sky, like a rain of blood.
Not far behind Benjamin, Dick hid behind a rock, and the whole person was dumbfounded.
"Too ...... It's horrible. ā
The escape process was very hasty, and he didn't have time to steal a night pot from the hotel, and at the moment he was empty-handed, and he felt very uneasy. But looking at the bloody slaughter in the distance, Dick only felt chills all over his body.
It was the first time he had seen Benjamin make a move, and it was then that he really realized what had become of the scrap that he had been pointing at gunpoint.
No wonder...... No wonder my father would say something like that to him.
Dick subconsciously swallowed his saliva, only to find that his throat was already dry, and he couldn't even speak. He could only hide behind the stone, clinging to the stone wall, as if this was the only thing that could make him tremble less.
When Benjamin finishes killing those church members, will he come and kill him too......
Dick's mind couldn't stop thinking about that.
"No...... ......Probably not," he comforted himself in a low voice.
"What won't be, have you figured out how to explain it all?"
I don't know how long it took, Dick was still stunned, and Benjamin's voice suddenly came from above him. Dick was startled and subconsciously stood up from the side of the stone.
He looked over and saw that all the church pursuers were strewn with corpses all over the ground, and there was not a single one left. Benjamin, on the other hand, flew not far in front of him, tilting his head to look at him.
This...... How long has it been?
Dick's mouth was wide open, but he couldn't even speak.
"Hey, talk?" Benjamin frowned when he saw this, "A few days ago, you wrote to me saying that the plan was going well, but you just needed me to help encircle Grant, right?
Dick took a deep breath and said, "That'...... That's fake. ā
"What do you mean?"
ā...... Five days ago, for some unknown reason, the Pope noticed all this and beheaded all our priests before we could do anything. Dick lowered his head and said slowly, "Father tried his best to send me out of the royal capital, and the others ...... All are dead. ā
Benjamin asked, "What about the letter?"
"It was my father who sent it out before the paladins surrounded the Fur family. Dick hesitated and said, "He said...... Now you are the only one who can save me. ā
Benjamin shook his head.
ā...... So, the contents of the letter are all fake, just to trick me into coming and saving you?"
Dick shuddered and nodded a little fearfully.
"There's no so-called 'code for the local mage forces in the kingdom', it's just to make sure I'll show up, something you made up?"
Dick continued to nod, his expression becoming more frightened.
Benjamin rubbed his head, speechless, not knowing what to say.
It's really good to be alone, Aix, an old fox, didn't forget to calculate Benjamin until he died, tricked him all the way to the kingdom of Hori, and forced him to rescue Dick.
After all, everyone else is here, is it possible to throw Dick down like this and make the church proud?
Is......
The plan that was finally put together ended up like this. Although Benjamin has always felt that there is a great possibility of failure, but the fiasco has been so far, the Fur family has been wiped out directly, and the unrest within the church has been cleaned up, which is a bit too bad.
Grant...... It seems that he has become more powerful than he thought.
"Your Excellency, we didn't mean to deceive you...... Please, please don't kill me!" Dick saw that Benjamin was slow to speak, probably thinking that he was angry, and almost fell to the ground in fright, and pleaded in a trembling voice.
Seeing this, Benjamin showed a helpless look.
"Kill you, is it good for me to kill you?"
"That...... OK...... Vent your anger?"
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to kill you. Benjamin waved his hand impatiently, motioned for the other to stand up, and asked, "What the hell has Ax arranged?" He went to great lengths to trick me into coming and get you out of the country, and then what?"
Dick looked up, "IāI don't know. ā
Benjamin crossed his hands and showed a puzzled look: "Doesn't the Fur family have any property abroad?"
Dick thought for a moment, pulled out a strange badge from his pocket, and said, "That'...... My father told me to flee to Rant City in Fredon and give it to the owner of the local tavern. ā
Benjamin heard this and nodded.
Fortunately, there are still arrangements. In that case, as long as he rescued Dick from the Kingdom of Horry, he didn't have to worry about the rest.
"Let's go, I'll take you out of this hellish place. Benjamin raised his hand, and the water vapor lifted Dick up, and the two flew towards the east together, "Your Fur family owes me a lot of money this time, and I will slowly settle it with you after you go abroad." ā
