Chapter 484: The Church's Encirclement

After quickly fleeing the scene with his men, Benjamin quickly took refuge in a narrow valley nearby.

Originally, they had a chance to wipe out that group of priests. But suddenly, the system popped up and said that it had detected a wave of magic coming from in the distance. Therefore, Benjamin could only give the order right away and retreat in a hurry with his people.

- You don't have to think about it, it's definitely the church's reinforcements coming.

They can't be at war.

Far inferior in numbers to the Church, they could not meet the enemy head-on, so they could only adopt roundabout guerrilla tactics, focusing on those who were left behind, taking as many advantages as they could, and running away after a fight, and never being caught by the enemy's large forces.

And at this moment, they have been hiding far enough, and the other party will definitely not be able to catch up in a short time. Therefore, his mages and apprentices also relaxed and found a secluded corner in the valley to rest.

"The magic just now...... It's amazing!"

As soon as the apprentices settled down, they couldn't help but discuss the battle just now. After all, this was the first large-scale caster battle they had ever experienced.

And the magic used by the ten elite mages at the end also fascinated them.

Usually dealing with some spies, these ten mages also threw fireballs with other apprentices, without revealing any special skills. But in the melee just now, the fire, the hurricane, and the dark shadow ...... The hellish scene woven by various types of magic shocked them for beginners.

"What's this, it's just a stack of mid-level magic. Seeing this, Joanna patted one of the apprentices on the shoulder and said, "When you see advanced magic, you will know what is really powerful." ”

"Advanced Magic...... Do you even know how to use this?"

Joanna smug and said, "Of course!"

"It's amazing, you can learn high-level magic at such a young age, and your talent must be very strong......"

In this way, the apprentice and the mage chatted enthusiastically. Seeing this, Benjamin shook his head with a smile and began to calculate the next steps with the system.

"How many of the villages we planned to go to haven't been?" he asked in his mind.

"It's too much. The system lazily replied, "Without the interference of external factors, it will probably take you another two months to complete it all." But do you need to talk about it? There are more and more external factors that you have to face. ”

Benjamin nodded, also with a grim expression.

Oh, yes...... The church's encirclement and interception will definitely get worse and worse.

Thinking so, he suddenly stood up, came to the mages and apprentices who were still discussing hotly, and said, "Everyone...... We don't have time to chat here, let's start the next transfer right away!"

The area was already close to Glori, and they ambushed the church team again. Next, the Church will definitely send a large group of priests to surround this place and dig three feet into the ground to find them.

Therefore, they had to move quickly.

The enemy could fly, and Benjamin had such a large group of apprentices that he could only do so on foot. Inferior in speed, they must always be one step ahead of their opponents if they want to be truly elusive.

— just like today's retreat.

When everyone heard this, they also recovered from their excitement. They didn't say anything, but nodded.

Although they were happy to have just won the battle, they also understood that the situation in the whole Carrets was not yet when they could be truly happy.

Fortunately, they did not set up camp at all, and it was easy to walk, so they picked up their things and hurried towards the other part of the valley. Although Benjamin can't hold so many people to the sky, he can summon water vapor, at least it can speed up and save everyone's effort a little.

And out of the valley, the water element induction method was turned on all the way, and Benjamin also found that there were obviously more priests in this area.

Hordes of priests went back and forth in this belt, some flying in the sky and some walking on the ground. In just half an hour, he had already spotted four teams of priests with more than 100 people.

These priests were constantly looking for traces of Benjamin and his party, which also caused them a lot of pressure.

Luckily, this is not a plain, otherwise they would have nowhere to hide.

"Go east, be careful, don't be discovered by the church. ”

In this case, Benjamin did not dare to think of fighting back. The ranks of the church were so dense that even if he managed to sneak up on one team, the other teams would immediately take over.

However, the transfer did not seem to be as easy as it seemed.

"That...... Mr. Benjamin, further on, there seems to be no obstacle that can obscure the view. ”

In this way, after walking for more than two hours, suddenly, a local apprentice glanced ahead, turned around, and said with some embarrassment.

When Benjamin heard this, he also flew forward for a while. Then, with a solemn look, he raised his hand and motioned for the entire team to stop.

The local apprentice was right.

At this moment, their position was leaning against a path by a rock wall. The hills on the side are towering, and they hide in the shadows, which can be regarded as relatively hidden.

But further on, the hill came to an end, and there was a large section of flat and open terrain behind it. Sparse trees grow in it, and it does not form a dense forest where you can hide.

If they walk in the middle of it, they will be spotted as soon as a procession of priests flies through the sky!

Trouble......

"Let's wait. After thinking about it, Benjamin said, "When it gets dark, we'll find another chance to get there." ”

When the mages and apprentices heard this, they could only nod their heads, unable to think of a better way.

They found a path between the rock walls, hid inside, and waited patiently for the night to fall. And the procession of priests passing through this neighborhood is also increasing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

Team 1...... Both teams ......

Benjamin took a deep breath.

Is there so many priests hidden in Karites?

As the days went by and the sky became darker, the number of priests searching back and forth did not decrease at all. On a few occasions, they even flew directly past Benjamin and his party. If it weren't for the cover of various vegetation, they might have been discovered.

After going back and forth several times, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

They all knew very well what the result would be when they were discovered.

- I'm afraid it's a bloody battle of nine deaths.

And when it was completely dark, Benjamin even sensed the traces of the army in the vicinity.

Suddenly, his heart was cold.

The church probably didn't know what excuse they had made, so that the substitute king ordered and sent out the army. And Benjamin can sense the army in this vicinity, and this area is likely to be blocked by the army.

It is difficult for them to escape silently.

"Mr. Benjamin, what's wrong? Your face looks so ugly. Joanna suddenly noticed Benjamin, who was frowning, and couldn't help asking.

When Benjamin heard this, he let out a long sigh and told everyone the news.

And after listening.

"This ...... Is this true?"

The faces of the ten mages were fine, after all, they were veterans of the battlefield, even if they were really blocked, they could try to break through by force with their strength, at least they could see hope. But the rest of the apprentices, they don't even know how to fly, so how can they break through?

There was fear in their eyes.

"Teacher Benjamin...... You're not going to give us up, are you?" Ryan, the captain of the apprentice's team, asked with some trepidation.
