Chapter 398: A Changed Plan

An hour later, Benjamin and the two officials ended their meeting and left the small village in the middle of nowhere. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Flying on the way back to Riley City, at this moment, Benjamin's mood was a little heavy.

There were indeed many unexpected gains from this meeting. However, this harvest was a bit too surprising - General Stewart had actually belonged to the church for a long time, and this news really caught Benjamin off guard.

Originally, it would not be long before he fulfilled his agreement with the general to stage an open revolt in Riley City, drawing the attention of the church. Then that general can stand up against the church. As a result, at first glance, this is a complete trap for the church.

If Benjamin did, he would have been defeated.

Therefore, although his heart is heavy, Benjamin still feels a little relieved to receive this news from the mouth of the prime minister.

He was even more determined to think that no matter whether what the prime minister said was true or not, no matter which side the general was on, in the end, he still had to bet on himself and not on others.

After talking about General Stewart, he spoke with the Prime Minister about how they would work together next. The whole plan is still based on Benjamin, and the prime minister will try to cooperate with him if he needs anything. Benjamin would not have disclosed the details of his plans to the Prime Minister in advance, lest he see that the situation was not good and turn his head to the side of the church.

At the end, they decided on their contact information and ended the meeting.

Soon, Benjamin flew all the way back to Riley City. He entered the inn room, lay down on the bed, looked at the ceiling, and fell into deep thought.

Now that they know about the general's mutiny, their next plan must be greatly changed.

What to do?

Taking a deep breath, Benjamin shook off the depression of being deceived, but the corners of his mouth gradually raised a sneer.

He knew the general's position, but the church still wanted to use this to calculate him. In that case, he can take advantage of this to counter the church.

As for the specific approach......

Benjamin closed his eyes, and a plan began to take shape in his mind.

In this way, the past few days have passed, and the entire territory of Freden is still relatively calm. The influence of Free Mages continues to spread, with more and more mages joining the resistance, and some merchants and mercenaries secretly expressing their support for them. In short, everything remained below the surface, and no one really stood up and pointed at the nose of the church and told them to get out.

Probably...... A lot of people are waiting for this to happen.

In this imminent atmosphere, suddenly, a new piece of news quietly circulated from somewhere.

"Hey, did you hear? In a week's time, the mage that published the newspaper will hold a massive anti-church march in Riley City. ”

"What is that?"

"I don't know, but it is said that the leader of that organization will appear in front of everyone and reveal some secrets about the church, including the hail punishment that has been so widely spread these days, and encourage all those who are dissatisfied with the church to participate. ”

"Really, fake, so lively......"

Once this kind of news spreads, it will still spread very quickly throughout Freedon.

After so much big news, "The Mage of Freedom" has surpassed other newspapers in China and has become the hottest headline. Therefore, in the newspapers, this widely circulated news quickly piqued the public's interest.

They were very curious, what kind of sacredness was the organization that could produce such a newspaper?

Of course, they were also curious as to how the church would react to such news, and what would the royal family do? Will it continue to support the church?

Many people have a keen premonition that the day when the two sides will face each other head-to-head may come soon.

As a result, the enthusiasm of the people was unexpectedly high, and some people who were not used to seeing the church even came to Riley City a few days in advance to see the excitement. After all, they were just civilians, and they thought that even if something happened, neither the mages nor the church would do anything to them.

Gradually, however, the city of Riley became crowded, and it was as lively as if it was going to be a festival, even though it was still mourning for the king.

Benjamin was also relieved to learn all this from his subordinates' reports.

At this moment, he sat in the official residence of Bian Mocheng, put away the magic props that Morris had made that could transmit audio, and nodded with satisfaction.

Looks like everything is going well.

That's right, despite this news, he and the large army had already left Riley City early and quietly hid in Border Desert City.

He could imagine that if he hadn't learned the details of the general, stayed in Riley City, and presided over this parade, I am afraid that it would eventually become a scene of a large army besieging the city and dying. Still, news of the march was going to get out, and he had to make the church think he had been tricked.

Only in this way can he turn the tiger away from the mountain.

At the beginning, he also thought about whether to lure the army away, and directly take all the mages and rush into the palace with the help of the prime minister to launch a coup d'état. However, it is too dangerous to do so, and the prime minister is not 100% credible. Benjamin couldn't afford to lose, so he had to let go of this opportunity and choose a safer plan.

- He is going to take the mage with him and ambush the bishop.

If the church wants to get rid of Benjamin, it will have to mobilize a lot of forces. And that time in the pure blue world, the system spied on the palace, and also helped Benjamin to explore the combat effectiveness of the church on Freden's side.

They don't have a lot of powerful spellcasters here, and the strongest one is that Bishop Victor. Therefore, he must have gone out in person, otherwise it would have been impossible to catch Benjamin. And Benjamin, in the case of a sneak attack, with a large group of mages, against the priest team led by Bishop Victor, the odds are still very good.

Of course, that being said, the specifics depend on how the church acts. If the Church soldiers divide up and quietly surround Riley City, then Benjamin and the others have a chance to raid the Bishop. If the bishop hides in the middle of the army and comes directly, then Benjamin can't do anything.

However, even if they can't kill the bishop, there are some backup options that will certainly not put themselves in danger.

At present, this plan is only known to him and his trusted mages, and more mage members are still in a state of thinking that they are really going to hold a parade. When the Prime Minister and the spies have heard the news and the people of the church have been dispatched, Benjamin will gather the mage and announce the plan so as not to leak the news.

And when the time comes, Benjamin will gather the team and start a sneak attack directly. Therefore, even if there are a few church spies in their ranks, they cannot afford to inform the bishop.

In short, in his opinion, the plan should still be perfect.

No one can think about everything, but Benjamin believes that even if something goes wrong, they have the capital to get out of it. Therefore, he dared to lead the team to do this.

Hopefully everything will go well and there will be no more completely unexpected changes......

Benjamin looked out the window and took a deep breath to think so.
