"Grow up...... I'm afraid it's already a lot of bad luck?"

In the halls of the royal palace in Rigina, grizzled officials gathered, some with hay on their bodies. Having just been rescued from prison, they apparently didn't even have the time to clean up, and they rushed into action to finally recover Regina from the chaos.

Now several fires have been extinguished in the city, and the people of the church are fleeing for their lives. The people panicked, but with the help of the officials, order in the capital was finally maintained, and only the devastated streets remained, and it was unknown how long it would take to recover.

Then, when Benjamin returned to Regina, they rushed to the palace hall to discuss the immediate countermeasures.

"After the war, let's erect a monument to the fallen heroes. Benjamin's face was cold and his voice was low, "What about the ruler of Ikor this one, we need to get in touch with the army as soon as possible." ”

Hearing this, an old man stepped out of the ranks and nodded at Benjamin.

"Lord Dean, I am the Executive Prime Minister sent by Carretus to govern Ikol. When I was first rescued by the mages, I had already written a letter and sent it to the garrison stationed at the border. "Also, with Carretus and Fredon, I've sent a message as soon as I can to tell them what's going on here." ”

"That's good......"

Benjamin nodded, a little relieved.

However, the sound transmission wood chip he put in his bag also sounded very abruptly at this time.

"Report to the dean, this is the latest news we have found. The voice of the secret spies of the academy came from inside, and Benjamin didn't care so much, and directly released it in the hall, "There has been a large number of army deployments in the territory of the Horry Kingdom, and the vicinity of the Cruzard gate has been completely blocked. Maybe tonight, the church will officially send troops!"

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar.

"How can it be so fast?"

"How many people are there in the church? Can we stop it? Oops...... In case our news doesn't reach the army in time......"

"Don't worry, haven't our spies been reporting all the time? Now that it is suddenly difficult, it will definitely not be able to gather too many teams. ”

For a while, the officials were talking. Benjamin frowned, contemplating the situation.

What would the worst-case scenario look like......

Suppose that the news does not reach the army in time, and the church is extremely well prepared to go on the march. Then, an army of 100,000 may be wiped out in an instant. Horry's army drove straight in, and there wasn't much of a terrain in between, from the Crusade Gate to Regina.

The more Benjamin thought about it, the less optimistic he felt.

"Aside from the 100,000 troops on the border, how many troops does Ikor have left?" he asked.

"The armies in various places, all together, are about 150,000 left. The Executive Prime Minister also nodded, and hurriedly replied, "In addition, there are 800 mages that can be requisitioned, three Holy Light cannons, 30,000 pairs of enchanted armor, 52,000 sycophants, and ...... grain and grass."

The data he gave was very detailed, and in the face of the national crisis, he didn't care about any secrets or not, and poured out all the military reserves in Ikor in one go.

Benjamin's face didn't look much better because of this.

An army of more than 100,000 is quite strong, but what they need to face is the church! 800 mages and three Holy Light cannons...... This strength is too weak, and it is absolutely impossible for them to resist the overwhelming army of priests.

- Obviously, most of the requisitionable mages have been transferred to the border garrison, and in terms of spell power, Ikor can be considered an internal defense.

"And what about the Freedom Mage? The number of Free Mages in Ikor should not be under five figures, right?" Benjamin immediately asked again, thinking about it.

"We've done a secret wanted search for free mages in the territory before, and the number should be around twenty thousand. The Prime Minister hesitated for a moment and replied, "It's just ...... Their personality and style determine that they are not too willing to join the war. ”

When the is it, and it's still a personality?

At that moment, Benjamin almost cursed directly.

"The Church is the common enemy of all mages, and they will not stand idly by. After calming down, he still spoke, "Time is short, how much information do you have about these free mages? Give it all to me, and we'll solve their problems." ”

"It would be great if the Dean was willing to do this. ”

The Executive Prime Minister nodded and instructed one of his subordinate officials to quickly prepare the information they had. At the same time, Benjamin also contacted the academy and passed on everything that happened here through the sound transmission wood chips, and asked them to send as many people as possible.

In addition, Fredden and Carretus, although they had already sent them a message, Benjamin still used the sound chip to send a message for help to them.

About two hours later, the Academy of Magic once again arrived with a team of nearly a thousand people. Most of them were students, all of whom stood in Ikor Square, quietly listening to Benjamin's orders.

Benjamin also sent down the thick information in his hand.

"That's the general information about the free mages in Ikor. I only heard him speak slowly, "Take them, split up, and visit as many free mages as you can." I need you to convince them to join the resistance to the church, and even if they don't want to, to make them aware of the horrors of the church. ”

The people below looked at him, passing on the information and discussing the matter of splitting up.

It took about ten minutes for them to divide the groups, and the whole square was quiet again.

Seeing this, Benjamin took a deep breath and spoke slowly—he wanted his voice to be passionate and incendiary, but it sounded unexpectedly cold:

"I know that many of you are students, many of you have not participated in actual combat, and many of you have just been pulled down from the exam room. However, this is not a war where there is time to think about the individual. Whether it's a battle mage or a potion mage, this is your final exam, and it's about how you survive. ”

"Once the Church comes in, there will be no more academies, no magic, no research, no more classes...... Everything you have now will be crushed in an endless escape. So, don't stay out of it, and don't let that happen. ”

"It's not just Ikor who is at stake, it's the freedom of magic. ”
