Chapter 488: The Siege Is Not Over Yet
“...... And they succeeded. ”
After about an hour, Benjamin put away the sound wood, nodded, and spoke to the mages beside him.
At the moment, they were in the ground of that hill. Together, the apprentices and mages were sixty or seventy men, crammed into a cramped hall that had just been dug out.
- This is their new hiding place.
Priests often fly through the sky, and it is certainly not a long-term solution for them to stay in the narrow lanes. Therefore, they took advantage of this time to dig a hidden underground room to get out, and then blocked the entrance with stones and turf, and hid here for the time being.
The whole environment was terrible, and they were also very uncomfortable.
Therefore, when Benjamin learned that the plan of another team of mages in Amber City had succeeded, his heart was still happy.
I can go out!
"If they succeeded, does that mean that the priests outside will leave soon?" the apprentice on the side also asked in an expectant tone.
Benjamin smiled and nodded, "Well, if nothing else." ”
The apprentices also showed a relieved look on their faces.
Among them, the newest talent has been with Benjamin for four or five days, and there is no friendship at all. And before, they lived an ordinary and trivial life, and it was indeed quite difficult to follow Benjamin through this.
Of course, this is also due to Benjamin's non-stop telling stories and pouring chicken soup into these people.
"That'...... When can we go out?" asked Lyra, patting her gritty hair, a little helplessly.
"Wait, be careful. "I'll go out tonight to see how it's going, and if there's no problem, we'll be able to leave." ”
In this way, everyone waited patiently for the time to pass. In this boring underworld, Benjamin can only continue to tell stories to his apprentices, almost finishing their story from the kingdom of Hori to Carretus.
Hopefully, their stories will inspire these apprentices who are just getting a glimpse of the road......
Finally, a few hours later, the time entered the night. Benjamin also climbed out of the tunnel.
The silent night sky, with a light rain, gave him a lot of self-confidence. Covering the entrance to the tunnel, he flew into the air, activated the water elemental perception method, and began to carefully patrol the area.
After about ten minutes of flying, the procession of priests coming and going in the sky was gone, and Benjamin did not see anything suspicious.
...... Really gone?
Suddenly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
I didn't expect this real or false Benjamin's plan to go so smoothly.
But also, as long as the mages pretend to be Benjamin in the detention center, the people of the church will definitely be shocked, not to mention that they have killed all the people in the detention center. The church didn't know that Miles existed, and in their opinion, who else could do it but Benjamin?
At the same time, Amber City is not too far from here, and the church can evacuate people from this side, and they can rush to that side to try to track down the whereabouts of "Benjamin".
Therefore, the role of various factors ensured the success of Benjamin's plan.
Confirming that the priest had withdrawn, he hurried back underground to relay the news to the mages and apprentices. When we were finally able to come out of the field, everyone was so happy that we couldn't wait to crawl out of the hellish place that was even more crowded than the train station.
"Thank you for not driving me away. A fatter apprentice sighed heartily.
Hearing this, everyone shook their heads and smiled knowingly.
"Alright, let's get out of here first. Benjamin said, "The church's staff has been drawn to the other side, and we can't afford to miss this opportunity." There are many more villages to the east, and we need to rush there as soon as possible. ”
"No problem!"
Everyone nodded in high spirits.
However, just when Benjamin thought that the project was over, suddenly, the wood piece in his bag lit up.
Got news?
Benjamin was stunned, took out the wood chip, and activated it with mental power.
Wallis's voice came from within:
"Mr. Benjamin, there is a situation. The people of the church seem to have spotted us, blocking all the roads on our side, and there are even many priests patrolling in the guise of soldiers. We disguised ourselves as caravans, but ...... I'm afraid I won't be hiding for long. ”
Hearing the news, everyone was stunned.
Benjamin couldn't help frowning.
All right...... It wasn't as simple as they thought.
They're out of trouble, yes, but the church is moving a little fast! They've locked off another area and trapped another group of people in such a short time.
Headache.
"Teacher Benjamin, they must have a hard time getting out of trouble on their own, we have to save them!" Joanna said with a pat on the thigh and some uneasiness.
Benjamin was silent for a moment and took a deep breath.
"Don't worry, I'll get them out. After thinking about it, he said.
"You...... You're going to go by yourself?"
Benjamin nodded.
"Well, I'm going too!" said Joanna at once.
"You went with me, what about these apprentices?" Benjamin shook his head and said, "What's more, all of them combined, the number of rounds is completely incomparable to that of the church, what's the point of having one more and one less?"
"But ......"
Benjamin continued, "So, we have to move on to the church. Take these apprentices and the king, find someone to disguise yourself as me, and continue to develop in the villages to the east and confuse the church. As for Wallis's side, I'll be alone enough. ”
"I ......"
"Don't talk about it, the action is set, and we all have our own things to do. Only if you do this well, Wallis and they will be able to break through. ”
Eventually, under Benjamin's tough tone, the mages hung their heads and accepted the arrangement.
In fact, this is also their best choice at the moment.
Or a trick by the real or fake Benjamin. The church has blocked the perimeter of Amber City at this moment, but if there is news of Benjamin in the village to the east, the church must be very confused. And under such doubts, they have a chance to rescue people.
In this way, Benjamin arranged the affairs here, and said a few words to the transsonic wood, so that Wallis's side could not be impatient. Then he flew into the air, as fast as he could, towards the Amber City area.
The mage and the apprentices couldn't help but look worried as they watched his back fade away.
"Alright, let's get going. At this time, Tony could only stand up and comfort, "The sooner you arrive at the target village and convey the wrong message to the church, they will have a better chance of successfully breaking through." ”
When they heard this, they nodded silently, turned around, and hurried towards the east.
