Chapter Fifty-Seven: A Seamless Sneak Attack

Hearing this, the lead cleaners stopped examining the body. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He stood up, turned around, and looked at the paladin who had suddenly appeared, his brow furrowed.

"What happened? Did the Bishop ask you to come?" he asked.

"That's right, it was the Bishop who asked me to come to you, and the Bishop told you to rush back to the church as soon as possible. The paladin replied as he took off his helmet.

Under the helmet, there was a woman with short black hair.

Under normal circumstances, Benjamin might have been surprised that there were women among the paladins, but at this moment he was already too anxious to think about it.

It was unknown what had happened, but the Paladin's appearance and the news she had brought with her was a great thing for Benjamin - the attention of the purgeers was diverted.

Benjamin has more room to act and more time to think about how to deal with the situation.

It's literally pulled back from a cliff.

Taking this opportunity, he stabilized his mind and let himself slowly calm down.

Although he didn't know what the female knight's name was, at this moment, he was truly grateful to her. If this group of cleaners had forgotten to examine the body of the Scar Man because of her presence, then Benjamin would definitely treat her as a bodhisattva and make three incense sticks every day.

"Christine, what the hell is going on?" asked one of the cleaners.

The female knight came over with her helmet in her arms and said with great seriousness: "The people of the Silent Academy have appeared again, and they have joined forces with that witch to launch an attack on the church!"

"What!" all had shocked expressions on their faces.

it?

Even Benjamin was on the side, and he couldn't listen to his jaw. The mage and the church got into a fight? It's too sudden, isn't it...... And the people of the Silent Academy, as well as Michelle, even if they are arrogant, they have always been arrogant in the dark. Attack on churches, how is this possible?

At least with what Benjamin knew about Michelle, she was by no means someone who would do such a thing.

It's not because of Michelle, that...... Could it be that after so many years of recuperation, they have cultivated a sufficient number of mages and have the strength to challenge the church head-on?

No, looking at their "Introduction to Magic" compilation, and then looking at the two stupid mages that Benjamin met that time, how could the Silent Academy be so powerful?

Benjamin still felt incredulous.

What are these people up to?

Attacking St. Peter's Basilica is crazy? You have to abide by the Basic Law in doing things!

This news was so shocking to Benjamin, and it was like a bolt from the blue for the purge of this team, making them all look at each other a little and at a loss.

After a brief moment of panic, the purge quickly calmed down.

"Don't worry, I'll use the Vision to get in touch with the bishop to determine the current situation. He said as he reached into his armor as if to take something out.

When Benjamin saw this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Vision of God?

What is that, a long-distance communication tool that the church has researched?

However, if the church already has such a thing, and such a big thing has happened, why doesn't the bishop directly use the "Vision of God" to communicate with the cleanser team, but instead send a paladin to inform him?

And, weird...... The whole thing, from start to finish, is weird.

Looking at the appearance of these cleaners, they all seem to recognize this female knight, and they do not doubt the authenticity of this news. But, as a mage, and with what he knew about other mages, Benjamin still felt that such a thing could not happen.

What are you kidding, the mages have counterattacked the church, so will the story be over in a few chapters?

With that in mind, he looked at the female knight who had brought the news. However, what he didn't expect was that the female knight was also looking at him, with a strange expression, as if she was playing a secret word with him, and a pair of golden eyes as sharp as an owl.

There was a sense of familiarity.

Golden...... Eye?

It was as if a bolt of lightning struck Benjamin, and a crazy thought flashed through his mind!

After two more glances at the knight, Benjamin changed his mind. No, this idea is not crazy at all, on the contrary, it is the only correct and reasonable explanation for the current situation.

This female knight is Michelle.

Michelle...... Did she come to save herself?

After seeing the shock on Benjamin's face again, the female knight, Michelle, should be said, suddenly raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth. She shook her cuffs, pulled out two daggers, and walked behind the two washers.

All the cleaners were still focused on taking out the Vision, and no one noticed her. She was like an Assassin walking in the sun - no Assassin would walk in the sun, so no one would think there were Assassins in the sun.

Like a concerned companion, she put her hands on the shoulders of the two washers, and then, with great abruptness, slashed at their throats.

Blood splattered, and the two cleaners fell.

"Christine, what are you doing!" Only the lead cleansers saw this and stopped using the Vision. The others turned their backs to Michelle and turned in horror at the sound of the roar and the corpse falling to the ground.

Obviously, none of them understood what was happening, but at least, they saw the death of two of their companions. After a long period of training, they drew their swords and aimed them at Michelle, and the sword began to condense holy light.

However, with a low chanting spell, they had to turn around again.

They looked over to Scar's body again.

I saw Benjamin holding an ice needle in his hand. His hand was on the neck of the Captain of the Cleaners, who was now covered in ice chips. He stopped halfway with his sword drawn, unable to move any longer, like a corpse in a cold room.

Just now, everyone's attention was drawn to Michelle. So, Benjamin seized the opportunity and summoned the Ice Needle, killing the captain of the Cleaners in a sneak attack.

While killing the Captain of the Cleaners, Benjamin also snatched the Vision from his other hand, a silver orb that exuded a magical aura.

He made eye contact with Michelle, and then, without hesitation, crushed the Vision.

"No!" several of the cleaners roared in unison, not sure if it was for the dead captain or for their broken ties with the church.

In this way, Benjamin and Michelle worked together to kill the three purges, including their captain, in a flash of lightning.

However, this surprise attack is not over here.

Michelle took advantage of this opportunity, and the attention of the cleaners was diverted by Benjamin. She threw away the dagger in her hand, rushed behind the other washer, drew her blessed sword, and slashed at the washer.

The cleaners were completely defenseless and could only subconsciously dodge. But because of this, the sword did not halve his bare head, but cut it to the armor.

The long sword collided with the armor, and for a while, the holy light shone brightly!

The harsh sound of metal cracking.

The sword in Michelle's hand was halved, and the blade was bounced away, but the armor of the cleaner also had a small hole.

Only then did the cleanser react, and let out an astonishing roar of rage, turning around and swinging his sword to split Michelle in half!

Michelle dodged and crashed directly into the arms of the washer. Then, with the broken sword in her hand, she stabbed into the rift in her armor that she had cut out!

A scream.

Michelle let go of her grip on the hilt of her sword and quickly backed away, distancing herself from the other washers who were about to rush at her. The purge who was attacked by Michelle, he covered the hole in his armor and looked at Michelle, his face still mixed with shock and dazed emotions.

Then he fell headlong to the ground.

The sound of the armor hitting the ground announced the success of Michelle and Benjamin's joint surprise attack.

It all happened incredibly quickly. From Michelle sneaking up on the first two Cleaners with a dagger, to Benjamin's killing of the Cleaners' captain with an ice needle, destroying the Vision, and finally Michelle forcibly killing another Cleaner with a long sword. The whole process takes less than twenty seconds.

The surrounding cleaners didn't even have time to rescue their partner who had been forcibly stabbed to death by Michelle.

Under a series of lies, sneak attacks, betrayals, and deaths, maybe these ten seconds or so are a bit too much information for them, and they can't digest them.

They can't be blamed, Benjamin and Michelle cooperated for the first time, but they tacitly understood like comrades in arms for decades. The duo used a sneak attack to divert the attention of the cleaners, creating an opportunity for another sneak attack, and beating the gang into a daze.

However, these more than ten seconds were enough time for them to recover from the chaos.

They are the cleansers, the elite of the church, the nightmare of the mages. After a long period of training, they still made a consistent choice after losing their leader.

They ignored Michelle and invariably attacked Benjamin.
