Suddenly, the mages all showed some surprise in their eyes.

Benjamin came slower than they expected, and the incident in front of them had been resolved. However, it was quite reassuring to see Benjamin return without any problems.

But...... He doesn't seem to want to return the general?

"Master Benjamin, don't worry, it's all right. Tony quickly explained, "As long as we return General Rester to these soldiers, they will leave and will not come to trouble us again." ”

Benjamin flew down from the sky and landed beside the mages, shaking his head.

"No, these soldiers can't go. He said categorically.

Everyone was stunned.

When the soldiers heard this, they looked at Benjamin and the ten mages, and they couldn't help but show a look of vigilance again.

"What happened, why didn't you let them go?" the king asked, frowning.

"It's more than what's going on. Benjamin said in a very deep and serious voice, "The latest news, Ikor has just raided the border of Carretus, and now it is likely that it has been lost. ”

"What...... What?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Do...... What the?

The mages seemed to have been restrained, and they remained motionless, and the jaws of the villagers on the side were about to fall to the ground. As for the soldiers, their eyes widened and they looked at each other, not knowing which one they were singing.

Ikor ...... Launched a raid?

It's too sudden, isn't it?

The king suspected that he had misheard, and went to Benjamin to confirm it again. So, Benjamin repeated the message several times, and solemnly said that he was definitely not joking.

"This ...... Where did you get the news? Are you sure it's true?" the king was still a little unconvinced.

"It was Miles who told me. Benjamin said with a heavy face, "I was on my way here when I suddenly received news from him. His tone is also very affirmative, so there should be no fake. ”

When the king heard this, he could only take a deep breath and try to digest the astonishing news.

Scarlett...... She came with her troops.

How so?

In the king's mind, she never met her brother again after losing her right eye and becoming a queen in the true sense of the word. However, the king could never have imagined that his sister would one day lead an army and invade the land of Carretus.

He didn't think they were going to get this far.

And...... And...... Is Carretus dying?

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Seeing this, Benjamin patted the king on the shoulder and said slowly, "When the country is in trouble, only if you calm down, it is possible to protect your country." ”

"I ...... I ......, "The king was so distracted that he could not say anything for a while."

Benjamin sighed.

He turned his head to look at the ten mages. The mages were also struggling to digest the news, but they were apparently much more receptive than the king.

"Why did the Queen choose to attack at this time?" Tony frowned.

Benjamin shook his head and asked rhetorically, "It's all this time, how can the queen not attack?"

Tony was stunned, then reacted.

Oh, yes......

If the queen had always had ambitions for Carretus, she would have noticed the recent turmoil within the country. Substitute kings, wanted bandits, strange blockades, rumors of plagues...... With so many things, even if the queen heard about one or two things, she would feel that the current Carretus was in jeopardy.

And today, the church has formed an encirclement with a large number of troops, but the encirclement has been directly overwhelmed by the terrified outcasts, and it is estimated that it will take a while to recover.

What better time than right now?

There are also guards on the border between Karites and Ikor and I don't know what happened over there, but ...... The queen had been planning for a long time, and with her army of mages, it was only natural that the raid would succeed.

Thinking of this, Tony couldn't help but gasp and felt a little chill in the back of his neck.

To be able to plan a raid without warning that even the church might not have noticed it, Ikor must have been extremely well prepared.

The Queen's Ambitions...... Is it really that big?

"Wait, isn't it......" said the king, suddenly with a stir, "that Freden has just experienced such a change, and a general has come to power. If Scarlett wants to attack, she should also choose Fredon to attack, rightly speaking, why should she attack us?"

"I don't know about that, maybe you should ask your sister. Benjamin spread his hands and replied helplessly.

The king looked pained, clutched his head, and fell silent again.

Benjamin turned his head at this point.

He looked at the soldiers at the entrance of the village, and suddenly spoke: "Ikorl has launched an invasion war against Karitus, and you, as soldiers, continue to stand here, for fear of being on the wrong side, so you hesitate to stay out of the matter?"

The soldiers were speechless.

"We ...... How do we know if what you're saying is true or not?"

Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you really don't believe it, I can't prove it to you." Wait, it won't be a few days, and the news will come from across the border. When the time comes, I hope you will not be as afraid of this and that as you are today. ”

"We're not afraid!" someone retorted angrily.

Benjamin gave a "snort", ignored them, turned around and returned to the king.

He patted the king on the shoulder comfortingly.

"Cheer up, Your Majesty. As he spoke, he glanced at the mages, "The stakes are high, and we have to think about it in the long run." Take General Rest, and we'll go inside. ”

The ten mages also nodded.

In this way, under the bewildered gaze of a large group of soldiers, Benjamin led the people into the village chief's house. The apprentices, who had been hiding in the streets, also came out. Originally, they were arranged by the mage and lay in ambush everywhere, just in case. As a result, half a day passed, and they did nothing, and could only follow Benjamin into the courtyard of the village chief's house.

At the entrance of the village, the soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what to do. The surrounding villagers also hid in their homes and talked about it.

The news just now was a bit too shocking for them.

Invasion of foreign enemies...... Is it true?

Whether it is a soldier or a villager, at this moment, they have a faint feeling that they may have earth-shaking changes in the future.

And at the village chief's house.

"Mr. Benjamin, you shouldn't be acting or something, are you? Ikor's army is really coming?" Perhaps having been following Benjamin for too long, Leila couldn't help but ask.

"I hope so, too. Benjamin smiled wryly, "Miles, though, said he's in the mountains west of Carretus. He saw the fleeing refugees with his own eyes, so he ...... Do you still think it's fake?"

As he spoke, the wood pieces lit up in his bag again.

"News again. Benjamin frowned, took out the wood chip, and activated it with mental power.

Suddenly, Wallis's voice came from inside.

"Mr. Benjamin, no. Ikor is attacking Karites, and it is said that the border has been lost, and we have seen a lot of refugees, all from the west!"

When everyone listened, there was silence.

"Now you can confirm it. Benjamin shook his head helplessly, couldn't help but open his mouth to the wood chips, and replied, "I have to say...... Your news is a step slower. ”
