Chapter 553: Rebels in the Mountains
Early the next morning, Benjamin left the city of Shelly and headed for the legendary rebel area.
The undercover church agents in the palace have been completely purged - Benjamin himself watched the general arrest people overnight. Not only that, but he also took the opportunity to have the system secretly scan a lot of confidential documents in the palace, and finally analyzed the results, and the general and the prime minister did not lie to him again this time.
No conspiracy, no inside story, and this is an exceptionally transparent transaction. Benjamin only needs to complete the rest of the deal - deal with the rebels, and there will be no problems.
As for the rebels......
To be honest, Benjamin also had some doubts in his heart about whether this group of rebels was really the group he had just instructed. However, the promises have already been released, how can he manage so much? If it is an acquaintance, of course, it is convenient, if not, then it can be solved directly by violence.
Benjamin didn't think he could even get rid of a group of rebels nesting in the mountains.
Flying in the sky, he was still very fast. About two days later, he was able to reach the red area marked on the map, the mountain area near the border.
The rolling mountains and dense forests, the birds and beasts, and the sparsely populated population, are indeed an excellent hiding place. Benjamin had also passed by here when he had left with the mage before.
And this time, he wants to find people in this vast mountain.
It sounded a bit difficult, but it was easier than he thought beforehand. There is no trace of human activity in the entire mountain except for the rebels, and the system does not miss even the smallest thing. Benjamin just needs to soar back and forth in the sky, and the "radar" will figure everything out on its own.
Of course, this "radar" did its job somewhat reluctantly, and Benjamin had to endure its complaints while flying, otherwise it could strike at any time.
In short, after the detection, analysis and guidance of the system...... It took them about an hour or so to find the rebels' lair with great success.
After two glances inside, Benjamin simply landed directly from the sky.
“...... You have to remember that we are not bandits and robbers, and we are not here to feed our mouths. We're targeted!Fredden has been overrun by ambitious guys, and they're ......."
The rebels' lair doesn't look like a camp, but more like a cottage. As Benjamin descended slowly, there were a number of people standing in the open space in the stockade, and the leader was shouting at the crowd, as if giving an inspirational speech or something.
These people are dressed in shabby leather armor, all of them are gray-faced, and they really look like a group of bandits.
And when Benjamin landed above their heads, everyone froze. The one who was only the one was unconscious, and when he talked about the excitement, the spittle and stars splashed everywhere, and he couldn't stop.
"Yes...... There was a mage ......" The man standing in the front row had to interrupt him, pointing at Benjamin and saying in disbelief.
"Where's the mage?" the leader of the rebels was stunned.
"In ...... Behind you. ”
The leader turned around in astonishment, only to find Benjamin landing not far behind him, waving at them, as if to greet them.
At that moment, the leader's face was very wonderful.
From shock to vigilance, and then to a slight doubt in the back, he probably also found something familiar with this mage.
"Yes...... Is that you, Master Benjamin?"
The leader quickly recognized the man.
Benjamin raised an eyebrow.
It seems that I have left a very deep impression on these people. It's just the fate of the meeting in Pingshui, and Benjamin barely remembered the appearance of this leader by relying on the system's reminders.
That's a good thing.
Looking at the leader's happy appearance now, this man really regarded the words he said to him as a life creed, and implemented them meticulously. So when Benjamin reappeared, he was as excited as a fan who had been visited by his idol's home.
This gave Benjamin an inexplicable sense of relief.
You may be able to solve this problem completely by just communicating.
Of course, apart from this leader, most of the other people in the stockade had some doubts on their expressions.
- The group had never seen Benjamin.
There are at least a few thousand people here, and nearly ten thousand are possible, which is not the same as the hundreds of people in the town at the beginning. Because of this, the former rebels have absorbed too much new blood, and most people now don't know Benjamin.
This still adds a lot of difficulty to Benjamin's communication.
"See, this is what I tell you every day about Master Benjamin!" the leader said, turning to his men excitedly, "He taught me how to deal with the enemy's armies and how to survive in these troubled times. You see, he's a real person, not made it up by me!"
“......”
Benjamin was speechless for a moment.
"How did you find us, Master Benjamin?" the leader asked politely as he turned back after explaining the matter to his men.
"I have my own way, and you can't understand it. Benjamin shook his head, glanced at the curious people around him, and then spoke, "And I have found you this time because I have something very important to tell you. ”
The leader hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
"I think it's better for us to sit in the room and talk slowly. ”
"Good, good ......"
In this way, the whole motivational speech was completely interrupted by the appearance of Benjamin. The leader disbanded the crowd in the clearing, and then, with Benjamin, he went to a hall in the cottage.
"Master Benjamin, we would like to thank you for your advice. Walking into the house, the leader turned around and couldn't help but say, "If you hadn't said it in the town at the time, we probably wouldn't have known where we died." ”
Benjamin smiled, but quickly put it away and returned to a serious face.
Listening to people praise themselves is certainly comfortable, but ...... He's not here to praise him.
He wants to "deal with" this group of rebels.
Therefore, he immediately spoke, and said in an unusually solemn tone, "Leave Freden as soon as possible, or you may indeed die in this place." ”
The leader froze, a smile fixed on his face.
“...... Why?"
"Because I got the latest news that the general is going to set fire to the mountain. Benjamin smacked off his face, "Your presence makes them feel threatened, so they are prepared to make you completely disappear from this world at any cost." ”
"Really, really......"
"Of course it's true, do you think about what I said to you in the town, is any of it false?"
The leader fell silent, having been completely deceived by Benjamin.
"That'...... What should we do?" he seemed to really regard Benjamin as their mentor or something, and immediately asked under the six gods.
