Chapter 482: Pull and Sneak Attack
"They...... There seems to be no intention of continuing to the south. ”
Benjamin hid in the distance, with a few mages, and observed the movements of the group of priests. And after quietly observing for a while, Tony couldn't help frowning and whispered.
"Indeed, they don't look like they're going to General Rest's camp. Benjamin nodded his head in agreement.
According to his original idea, after he finished making trouble in the camp, the church would definitely send someone over to investigate the encirclement. But at the moment, it seems that this group of priests, who numbered more than three or four hundred, did not seem to be in a hurry to rush over, but seemed to be looking for something.
What can they look for?
There is probably no better answer than to find Benjamin and his party.
It seems that their strategic shift has been recognized......
Thinking so, Benjamin was also a little helpless. The Church is acting more and more cautiously, with a large group of people in order to prevent a lone person from being attacked. At the same time, they are no longer led by the nose by some appearances, but try to guess Benjamin's next move, and then make a move in advance.
The Church probably guessed that Benjamin would move to the center, so it sent this kind of priest brigade to investigate it in this area.
"Mr. Benjamin, what are we going to do? Wait or just slip away?"
Benjamin thought for a moment, then said, "Let's wait and see." ”
There are dozens of people in their team now, so it's not so easy to hide, and if the church finds out on the way to transfer, things will become very troublesome.
"It's not a way to wait any longer, it's better to ...... Let's try to lure them away?" Tony suggested again.
"Lead away from the ......" Benjamin heard this, as if he suddenly thought of something, pondered for a moment, and finally showed an excited look, "Yes, this is a good way!"
Tony was a little confused: "It's just to lure people away so that we can transfer, is it necessary to be so happy?"
"What's the point of just transferring. Benjamin raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "They like to hug each other, so let's play and pull and put smoke bombs to make them hug less tightly." And at that point, we'll have a chance to make a move!"
When several mages heard this, they glanced at each other, and they also smiled, gearing up.
"Finally, there's another fight to fight!" Joanna said, suppressing her excitement.
In this way, Benjamin took them back to the cave where they were hiding and began to plan the next move.
The purpose of this group of priests was to find Benjamin, and if he showed up somewhere else, the gang would surely rush over. And what Benjamin has to do is to constantly appear in various places and pull the attention of this group of priests.
At the end of the day, these people will always show their flaws.
Where they were at the moment was a small forest on the side of the main road, and there were many villages on the east and west sides. So Benjamin set out with a few people that day and flew to the village to the west. A few other mages and all the apprentices stayed on the side of the cave to observe the priest's movements.
And this time, Benjamin went straight into the largest village.
"My people, Karitus has reached an existential moment. It is absolutely intolerable for the foreign church to support the puppets, to drive me out of the palace, and to slander the whole world that I am a thief......"
The king, wearing a crown and the splendid garments that he had managed to get these days, was making his speech. Benjamin, on the other hand, followed behind, using the water elemental sensing method to observe every suspicious character in the crowd.
Soon, he confirmed the target.
"No, the two on the left are the eyeliner of the church. Even the system spoke, so he said.
I saw that the two guys dressed as ordinary farmers were hiding in the crowd at the moment, staring at the king with their eyes, but they didn't expect that Benjamin had already targeted them.
Soon, the king's speech ended, and Benjamin also used magic to help the village dig a dozen irrigation canals. They gained trust from the villagers and also took three young men with a talent for magic.
They left the village and headed north.
The two eyeliners followed, far behind them.
Benjamin didn't know what the other party's means of contact were, but he had a feeling that the Church army would soon be around. Therefore, he exchanged a look with the mages behind him, and suddenly used his magic to fly into the air and directly shake off those two eyeliners.
As they flew higher and higher, everything on the ground became a blur. Benjamin summoned a mist of water, simulating the appearance of clouds, and hid them in it.
"The smoke bomb has been released, so it's up to the opponent to get hit. ”
In this way, they flew all the way, explaining the situation to the three new apprentices by the way. After a long detour, half an hour later, they returned to the cave where they had first been hiding.
"How's it going?
As soon as he returned to the cave, Benjamin asked the mage waiting in the cave.
"Not long after they set out, about an hour ago, they were heading west. Leila replied.
"Not bad. All went well, Benjamin nodded in satisfaction, and continued, "Are you ready?
The mage and apprentice nodded their heads.
As it approached evening, they set off quickly and chased them west. The system also analyzes the traces left by the priests along the way and guides the way. And so, after about half an hour, the group of priests finally reappeared in Benjamin's senses.
And their original team of several hundred people is now only about a hundred people.
...... So smooth?
Seeing this, Benjamin was even a little skeptical that this could be a trap.
However, after a closer look, he found that these priests were the weaker ones. After all, light magic has certain limitations, and it is not as good as wind magic on the road of flying. Therefore, this group of priests will not fly.
- They can only travel on their legs.
"When the priests' group first set out, did they choose to fly or walk?" thought this, Benjamin suddenly turned to the mage who was in charge of the stay-behind mage.
"Walking. Layla shrugged her shoulders and said, "However, they quickly fell out of sight, and we didn't dare to follow." Maybe they're in a hurry halfway through, and they'll fly over first. ”
Hearing this, Benjamin also nodded.
The priest's team should have separated, yes.
The first time they tried, the pull was surprisingly good, pulling the priest's team apart. But...... Everything made sense, so Benjamin decided to stop being suspicious.
The opportunity is rare, and if you don't go to it, you won't have a chance!
Therefore, after arranging the team a little, Benjamin used his mind to cast a spell and quietly condensed a large area of ice arrows, which became the clarion call for the first round of attacks.
The more than 100 priests couldn't sense the magic fluctuations, and no one turned around to look at them. Therefore, it was not until the rain of ice arrows hit them that they reacted and turned around in amazement.
Unfortunately, this little time is no longer enough for them to sing.
Boom! Boom!
Hundreds of crosses broke at the same time, helping these people survive the rain of arrows.
"Damn! this guy ...... This guy is on purpose, he is not in the village to the west at all, but has been following behind our back!" The priest at the head showed a look of anger on his face, and immediately commanded the other priests, ready to start a counterattack.
However, at this moment, a new wave of magic power came from the other side of them.
I saw that nearly a hundred fireballs, mixed with dozens of flames in the middle, flew out from the hands of ten mages and more than fifty apprentices, and blasted towards the priest's team!
