Chapter 770: New Deployment
"Master Benjamin, how did you come up with such an idea?"
Walking down from the city wall, the prime minister took off his sunglasses and couldn't help but show a look of admiration, looking at Benjamin like a monster.
Benjamin scratched his head embarrassedly: "Well...... It's okay, it's just a matter of putting something on top of the lenses, and it's not a big deal. ā
"But to be able to come up with it in such a short period of time is quite an amazing skill. ā
"Where, Where, ......"
Benjamin was also praised a little helplessly. After all, sunglasses weren't something he invented, he just borrowed someone else's ingenuity.
How to see freely in the bright light?The kingdom of Horry presented them with this problem, and Benjamin quickly thought of sunglasses. The level of glassmaking in this world is still not low, and glasses also exist, but they are still a little far from the invention of sunglasses, which is only used for pretending most of the time.
So Benjamin came up with the idea of sunglasses, and the craftsmen and mages in the city immediately got their hands on it. In order to filter out the glare and ensure a clear line of sight, of course, they didn't just use ink for such a rough choice, but let the apothecary mage quickly concoct a liquid, and then collected all the eyes in the city, and quickly began to make it.
In a few hours, they made more than 1,000 pairs of sunglasses, which they immediately put on the soldiers defending the city and forced them to stand all over the city walls.
- They are also using their actions to show the enemy: "This trick is useless for us!"
When Grant and the general-looking man came to observe the situation, Benjamin was also hiding in the crowd guarding the city. At that time, he looked at the other party's deflated expression through his sunglasses, and his heart was also quite happy.
Do you really think that with this kind of bad trick, you can make them helpless?
He still remembered the general's expression at that time, his eyes were about to fall to the ground, and the whole person was still trembling, as if he was shocked by their momentum, and finally slipped back to the camp like a lost dog.
After that, the continuous bombardment of Rock City by the Holy Light Cannon finally stopped. Clearly, the church realized that they were working in vain, so they had to give up the bombardment and go back and reconstruct.
Benjamin also returned to City Hall.
He knew very well that the Horry Kingdom would not give up. Once the siege is caught in a tug-of-war, it will soon become like this, soft and hard, and any trick can be used. They had only thwarted the enemy's first move just now, and the more damaged things might be waiting for them.
The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, and it will be up to who can have the last laugh.
"Interesting, I want this thing. Outside the town hall door, Miles was wearing sunglasses and leaning against the wall. He saw Benjamin approaching and said this.
I don't know if it's because of the sunglasses, Benjamin feels that his voice has become underbeaten.
"This thing is very valuable, I can give it to you, but I need you to do some more tasks for us. Of course, we don't have to pay for this stuff as a reward for the task. ā
ā...... You're stupid to me, this thing doesn't cost even a gold coin. ā
"That's just the cost of materials, it's also intellectual property! Benjamin said with a serious face, "I spent a lot of mental work to come up with the idea of this sunglasses. Therefore, you don't look at its material is very cheap, this is a work of art, but it is the crystallization of human wisdom that is condensed in it, and it will be given to you when you do a few tasks, and you will make a lot of money, okay?"
ā......ā
Luckily, Miles is wearing sunglasses now, otherwise his expression would have looked even more sluggish.
"Alright, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you. Benjamin waved his hand and continued before the other party opened his mouth to refute, "Now we are all guarding Locke City, because of the rune defense array, it is difficult to pass the news, only you can enter and exit conveniently. Therefore, I need you to be our sentry outside and help us monitor the movements of the Hori Kingdom's army. ā
"This ......," Miles said slowly, with a hesitant expression, "the danger is very high." ā
"It's dangerous, hundreds of priests can't kill you, you just have to keep an eye on the sidelines. It's such a simple thing, you don't want to sit on the ground and start the price. ā
ā......ā
In the end, after a series of bargaining, Miles nodded in agreement, turned around, and quietly left Rock City - the rune defense array sealed the entire city to death, and he was the only one who could come and go at will.
And Ikor must have someone on his side who can keep an eye on the movements of the Hori Kingdom.
Just like what the executive prime minister worried about before - taking a long detour to his home. Although there seems to be no similar sign at the moment, the church is determined to take down Rock City, but with the passage of time, they will definitely make other preparations.
Benjamin also had to send Miles out first, to beware of this hand beforehand.
Meanwhile.
In the camp of the Kingdom of Hori.
"Your Majesty, I ...... I didn't expect them to have this kind of method, please, please don't kill me, I'm ...... I still have a way, I will definitely be able to help you take down Rock City!"
Inside the tent, General Press turned pale, knelt on the ground, and pleaded bitterly with Grant.
ā...... What else can you do?" Grant's voice was calm, and he couldn't hear the joy or anger, but it made Price feel even more uneasy.
"IāI think we can bypass Rock City!" he took a deep breath as he tried to calm himself down, and said in a hurry, "Ikor is not the only city, Your Majesty, you say yes? Rock City is not the capital, why do we have to get along with it?"
Grant, however, shook his head.
"No, we must take Rock City down, there is no point in going around. ā
General Preece was stunned for a moment, and raised his head cautiously: "Your Majesty the Pope, I take the liberty of asking, for...... Why do you have to take Rock City?"
"Because the dean of the Academy of Magic is in the city. Grant said with a cold face, "Have you forgotten why we sent troops? In order to reclaim the key to the divine realm, we have to unleash force against the nations. ā
"Yes...... Aren't we, too, trying to spread God's splendor to a wider land?"
"You have so many questions. Grant narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of displeasure in his tone, "As long as that person is hiding in Rock City, we will never leave!"
"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. General Preese hurriedly explained, "After we make a detour, we will occupy the other cities of Ikor and then cut off the supply of Locke. Wouldn't it be more convenient for us to besiege the dean of the Academy of Magic and reclaim the holy relics?"
"You can divide your forces to do this, I have to stay here. Grant said coldly, "If I don't keep an eye on it, he will probably escape from Rock City, and then all his work will be in vain." ā
"Good...... Good. ā
"And what are you doing here?"
When General Preece heard this, he scrambled to get up from the ground as if he had been granted amnesty. Then he saluted Grant several more times, turned around, and left the tent as if fleeing.
Silence reigned in the tent.
Suddenly, Grant lowered his head, stretched out his left hand, and slowly spread it out, and a strange white character loomed in his palm. He looked at the character and furrowed his brow deeply.
