In the end, the academy raid came to an end in a rather tragic way.

Most of the soldiers from Ikor were unwilling to surrender and were killed cleanly. Those hundreds of mages were also loyal to the queen, and some even committed suicide on the spot, or began to fight back frantically, and finally Benjamin was frozen into an ice sculpture.

The follow-up battle lasted almost an hour. Although it was almost a one-sided situation, they were a little soft to kill just by killing people. Therefore, after the battle, everyone showed a tired look. Even the students who hid in the academy and barely made a move couldn't help but feel dizzy when they looked at the devastated streets.

According to the approximate statistics, Ikor sent 416 mages and 50,000 soldiers for this sneak attack, which can be said to be a feat in the history of warfare. It was also hard for Benjamin to imagine how the queen had sneaked into the neighborhood with so many people without knowing it.

However, it was all things that had already ended, and he didn't bother to pursue it anymore.

In the town's camp, they retrieved the Academy's captives. It turned out that at the beginning of the sneak attack, the mages of the academy and the army of Ikor engaged in a series of battles in the streets of the town. The result, of course, was a great defeat for the Academy, with the large forces retreating to the Academy, using runes to defend. About two dozen mages were captured by Ikor and a dozen more were killed in that battle.

A regrettable result, but at least, they held their homeland.

Students took to the streets to clean up the battlefield. Wallis began planning a memorial event, and the final exams were just about to begin, and the plan to rebuild the town had to be put on the agenda......

After the battle, they were tired, but the rest was more busy.

As for Benjamin, he took the queen with him and began the torture in the basement of the academy.

- That's right, after freezing her into an ice sculpture, Benjamin didn't choose to freeze her to death, but spared her life, ready to use her to solve Ikor's problem.

"Regrettable results, isn't it?" said Benjamin with a cold face in the dim light, "You gambled almost everything, and in the end you lost everything you had. ”

The queen said in despair: "If you have the ability, you will kill me, I am not interested in seeing you show off your power here." ”

"Do you think I don't want to kill you?" said Benjamin, with a cold snort, "but unfortunately, your president has sent me a message begging me to spare your life, or I would have guillotined you long ago." ”

He wasn't lying, and the president did convey such a request to him after the battle.

Although Ikor's army has been defeated, and all the mages have drunk the antidote and escaped from the queen's control, the current Ikor can be said to be extremely chaotic. The decree is not understood and rumors are spreading...... It seems that the president alone still can't control the situation.

In addition, according to him, the Mage Guild has been completely dissolved, and there are thousands of mages, and only a few hundred are willing to stay and help the president in the end. At least half of Regina's officials are unwilling to give in, leading to the current chaos.

Fortunately, there were not many noble heirs in the former empire, and there were no powerful aristocratic roles, otherwise Ikor might have started a situation of separation.

It's just that...... They still had to be wary of the church outside the Crussard gates.

That's why Benjamin is here to talk to the Queen.

"He's a traitor, and he's betrayed me, and he's betrayed his country!" said the queen with a look of disdain at once, and a look of resentment on her face.

It seems that she hates the president more than Benjamin.

"Nobody cares what you think. ”

Benjamin shook his head and clapped his hands suddenly. With his movements, the queen suddenly clutched her stomach and fell to the ground in pain, screaming through the basement.

"The curse I planted for you is only possible for those who are stronger than my magic to undo it. His voice slowly reached the Queen's ears, "You have no choice. ”

Benjamin controlled the curse for five minutes, and the queen fainted several times, only to wake up from the coma with severe pain. In the end, she could only collapse to the ground weakly, unable to say anything hard.

Then, Benjamin took her and flew for a day to Regina.

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect us to come to this point after all. ”

In the cold palace, the president looked at the queen's embarrassed appearance and couldn't help but shake his head.

The queen's face was as dead as ashes, and she didn't say anything.

"What's going on in the church, will it take advantage of the situation? Can Ikorl stop it now?" Benjamin walked over and asked his most important question.

"This ...... I don't know. The president turned his head and said, "There's no movement at the gate." The spies we installed in the Kingdom of Horry have also reported that the church has been exceptionally quiet lately, and there has been no movement at all. ”

When Benjamin heard this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Isn't that right......

If it had been so long since the Valley of God's Abandonment, the church would have finished exploring it a long time ago. And with their style, if they can pull their hands out, they will definitely not stand idly by in the matter of Ikor.

Is there any conspiracy?

He felt that he had to write a letter to the Fur family and get some inside information.

"So...... Is Ikor still in a stable situation, and what next?" Benjamin thought for a moment, then asked a new question.

It was clear that they could no longer put the queen on the throne to continue ruling Ikor. Ikor needs a new ruler, credible, able to withstand the threat of the church, and preferably justified, otherwise Ikor himself will definitely be in chaos first.

The queen can be used as a puppet to stabilize the situation in the country for a while, but ...... With the queen's character, as long as she can still get in touch with politics, after a long time, there will definitely be some troubles.

The president seemed to have the same thoughts as him, saying, "It's okay to stabilize for the time being, but Ikor needs a new ruler." ”

"Are there any down-and-out nobles in the country? As long as you can get a little blood relationship with the queen, you can take it, at least it will be easier to control. ”

The queen sneered on the side, and the president shook his head, indicating that there seemed to be no such candidate.

However, just as they were frowning, a mage suddenly ran in and reported to them, "Elder, the messenger of Karitus has just arrived, shall we meet?"

When they heard this, they both turned around in surprise.

Emissary of Caritus......

The great battle of the academy and the coup d'état in Regina were not completely secret, and other countries must have heard of them. At this time, I am afraid that the messenger came for this purpose.

However, not long after the previous mage came in, another mage walked in and said in a somewhat flustered voice: "Report to the president, the messenger from Freden is also here! They just bumped into each other at the door, and it seems that there is a quarrel!"
