Chapter 217: The aftermath of the coup d'état

The capital of Ikor is Regina. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The heart of the city, especially near the Forbidden Prison, was in a state of great chaos at the moment.

At first, it was Benjamin who led the hot-headed crowd to storm the prison guards. But what they didn't expect was that as soon as they rushed halfway, they killed a one-eyed queen halfway, blowing horns to the sky, shouting deafening slogans, and shaking everyone else on the spot.

It is said that the queen who is still in the gate to fight in person, why did she return to the horse pistol and suddenly kill it back?

Benjamin immediately realized that this was a premeditated trap. The Krussad gate is not so close to Regina, even if it is a rapid march, it will not be able to return without ten days and half a month. The fact that the queen is here shows that she has always been there, just hiding in a corner of Regina, and no one knows.

She just sat in the shadows, waiting for her prey to take the bait. And now, she appeared with a real elite soldier, and Benjamin could only pray that the other party's trap was not aimed at him.

Fortunately, soon, the Queen's army rushed to the prison and began to slaughter the prison defenders, ignoring their group of miscellaneous soldiers who were stunned on the sidelines. Looking at this scene, Benjamin finally understood what was going on.

- The queen wanted to lure the church into a coup d'état in order to purge the undercover agents in Ikor territory.

It's really a big game of chess, what is the royal conquest, what is the capture of the Crusadard gate, all for this scene is acted.

Thinking like this, Benjamin suddenly retreated.

The Church's conspiracy is shattered, and the mages will soon be rescued by the Queen, and there is no need for him to stay any longer. Besides, look at the gang of people who rushed after him. As soon as they saw the Queen, the chaotic procession began to break up.

They are all Ikor people, and the queen still enjoys a very high status in their hearts. Moreover, by now, their initial strength has almost been discharged, and their desire to run will only get stronger and stronger.

As a result, the team of thousands of people stopped charging the moment the queen appeared. Then they watched as the queen began to attack the prison guards, and when no one stopped them, they all understood, and they turned around and fled in all directions.

So, what other reason does Benjamin have to stay?

Seeing this, he and the other five mages exchanged glances. Then, before the queen could find out, they left the place as fast as they could with the chaotic crowd.

――If the queen recognizes them, I guess they won't be able to leave if they want to.

In this way, they quickly moved away from the center of the city and stopped on a remote and deserted street.

They began to discuss their next steps.

The scene in the prison has already announced the end of the coup d'état, and the church has not made any waves. However, Benjamin estimates that Ikor will have to mess up for a while. Therefore, they cannot leave Regina in a hurry. In order to catch the undercover agents of the church, Regina must be surrounded by ambush soldiers, and if they leave rashly, they will only fall into the queen's trap.

On the other hand, the queen wants to clean up the moles, and she has no time to pay attention to them in a short time. Therefore, they can stay here a little longer.

The feud between Benjamin and the blonde does need time to be settled.

The coup d'état in the capital was originally an accident on their way to rescue Augustine. Now that the accident has been resolved in an even more unexpected way, it's time for them to get back on track.

So, after discussing with the other five mages, they decided that they would go back to the inn first and wait and see for a while.

On the way back to the hotel, every street was empty. As a result, they did not encounter any obstacles. And after returning to the room, not long after, the other mages who had split up to inquire about the news also came back one after another.

Benjamin was very happy to see everyone return safely.

According to them, when the coup d'état took place and the soldiers controlled by the church began to search people in various ways, they saw that the situation was not good, so they hid in various remote streets for several hours, and only when they saw that there were no soldiers patrolling the streets, did they sneak back. It seems that after following Benjamin for so long, not to mention anything else, their ability to hide in Tibet has grown a lot.

There was still chaos outside, so they simply hid in the rooms of the inn, and like the ordinary people in the capital at the moment, they stayed at home and meditated behind closed doors.

Soon, a series of events caused by the "coup" began to heat up and ferment in Regina.

If nothing else, the flow of people on the street is at least two-thirds less than before. Although the next day, the Ikor government also issued a proclamation explaining the situation in general, and at the same time said that the bloodshed in the square was a heroic resistance of the people in the face of the enemy country, so that the people should not worry. But in fact, most people are still waiting.

When this kind of thing happens on a holiday, I was originally happy, but suddenly the sky has changed, and ordinary people will definitely have a shadow in their hearts.

Not to mention, the next day, there were many patrolling soldiers on the streets, often interrogating passers-by to check if they were spies of the church. In the face of this situation, the people will definitely not be at ease.

The queen's move is indeed a bit nerve-wracking for herself.

Benjamin didn't bother to bother with that, though. After meditating in the inn all day to adjust to the best condition, the next afternoon, he disguised himself and left the hotel, ready to go to the "sister massage parlor" again.

At noon that day, he also deliberately controlled Cinderny's curse, allowing it to have a small seizure, which should also give them a lot of pressure.

In fact, there are still too many mysteries about this "lady" who took away Augustine.

From the few words that Cinderie said by chance, Benjamin guessed that they seemed to be being hunted down by many people, whether it was Freden or Carretus, who had a bit of a hard time with them. However, Benjamin really has no grievances with them, and I don't know why she bumped into them.

In addition, it is the strange young man who has broken Benjamin's identity. I had heard that he was all the way with the blonde, but in the massage parlor, Benjamin didn't notice his existence at all, which is indeed quite weird.

With countless questions, he came to that street again and walked to the same door.

Probably because of the recent wind tightening, the store is still not open, and even the sign hanging at the door before has been put away at the moment. A bare door, with some strange spots attached to it, looks rather bleak.

Benjamin also understood that this was what the other party meant by waiting for him.

Before entering, he first observed the situation inside with the water elemental perception method - the whole store was empty, there was no one at the front desk, only one room, Cinderie was lying on the bed, talking to the blonde woman next to the bed. And in the corner of that room, there was a huge sack.

In the sack, Benjamin sensed a familiar face with his eyes closed.

It was Augustine, who had been missing for a long time.

Seeing this, Benjamin could only smile wryly and shake his head.

It's been found.

He suddenly remembered the story of Augustine's previous story of how he became a mage. At the time, Augustin had been complaining that the female mage who had led him to the rope refused to play with the tie-up, but now that he saw that he had had enough.

With that in mind, and making sure there was no ambush or anything like that, Benjamin opened the door and walked inside.
