Chapter 524: Trap

The king first halted the army, and he himself walked to the camp with Benjamin and Miles.

"Your Majesty, if General Hawke's soldiers have been ambushed and have been wiped out by the Church, are you still planning to continue attacking Glory?" Miles asked suddenly.

"Of course we have to continue. The king took a deep breath and nodded vigorously, "It's all already gone, and we can't just give up halfway." ”

Benjamin kept looking around, his brow furrowed.

Soon, they came to the front of the camp. Standing outside and looking inward, the whole camp was unspeakable. Some of the tents had collapsed, the ground was littered with fragments of weapons, and broken flagpoles fluttered in the wind.

Aside from the fact that there are no corpses, it does look a lot like a camp after a battle.

"Is there really nothing left?" said the king's face was also ugly.

To be honest, it's hard for them to judge the outcome of such a scene. He had a little idea of bypassing the camp and going straight to Glory. But if he couldn't figure out how this group of people disappeared, he was afraid that they would encounter the same unknown situation in the future.

The king's heart has never been heavier.

The fate of Carretus was in his hands, and he had to be cautious.

"Your Majesty, you stay outside, and I'll go in for you to see what is going on. Seeing this, Miles nodded and spoke.

However, Benjamin suddenly stopped them at this moment.

"Don't go in. ”

The king was stunned: "Why?"

Benjamin looked at the camp in front of him with a subtle expression. Just now, the system suddenly spoke in his head, telling him that there was a very faint magic fluctuation in this camp. The fluctuations were hidden in several collapsed tents, echoing each other, as if they were coming from some kind of magic item.

Therefore, he immediately used the water elemental perception method to find out the source of the magic power fluctuations.

It was several huge crosses, buried in the ground, and it was not known what they were used for. However, inside the cross, Benjamin could feel the surging light element inside, and once it erupted, he could destroy the entire camp at any time.

In a sense, it's like ...... Mine?

Benjamin felt palpitations. The crosses were very hidden, and the magic fluctuations were as if there were none. If it weren't for the system's reminder, he might not even have noticed.

Thinking of this, he said to the king: "There is a trap in it, it is hidden deeply. If you go in, something might happen. ”

The king looked surprised: "Trap?"

Benjamin nodded solemnly.

"Yes...... What about the soldiers from General Hawke, and where have they gone?" asked the king, somewhat anxiously.

Benjamin shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I don't think we'd better stay in this place for too long, and let's get out of here first." ”

When the king heard this, he looked around, his expression became a little nervous, and he nodded.

The army that was supposed to join them here is missing, leaving only an empty camp with traps buried in the camp. Faced with such a situation, even a fool knows that something is wrong, right?

At that moment, Benjamin even felt like a pair of invisible eyes were staring at them.

He pushed the water elemental perception method to the limit, but he didn't find anything suspicious in his field of vision. Therefore, they could only inform the whole team to bypass the camp with the trap and continue towards Glori.

However, just when they were just starting to detour.

"Here ......

Benjamin's face changed, and he suddenly flew into the sky.

Looking out from the sky, they saw dense shadows suddenly appearing in the woods in all directions around them. If you look closely, there are soldiers, paladins, and priests...... Their position was very carefully stuck, completely out of the range of Benjamin's water elemental perception method, but the positions of each of their teams in ambush formed a huge circle that completely surrounded them.

At that moment, shouts of killing were heard in the distance, and the king and the soldiers beside him did not even realize what was happening.

Benjamin could only snatch the horn from the soldier's hand and blow it with all his might.

After a long trumpet sound, he pulled his throat and shouted, "Enemy attack ——!"

Everyone's faces changed suddenly at that moment.

They were now in a flat area on the edge of the main road, with no location to rely on. In a hurry, the general took command, and the soldiers took up their arms, changed their formation, and surrounded the king and the logisticians inside, and the soldiers with shields gathered around me, showing nervous expressions.

Fortunately, in order to avoid Benjamin's induction, the enemy's ambush was located far away, so they had time to adjust their position. Otherwise, before the sword is drawn, the enemy will be killed in front of them, and they will definitely suffer heavy losses.

That's the only reason Benjamin feels good at the moment.

He flew in the sky, looking at the soldiers who surrounded him like a tide in all directions, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The church finally showed its minions.

The entire encirclement was about seventy or eighty thousand men, and the momentum was extremely huge, and Father Benjamin estimated that there were at least 1,000 of them.

Benjamin's heart sank.

Ambush halfway, this is also the scenario he foreenvisioned. However, to his surprise, the church seemed to be wary of his perception, and deliberately set up a very distant encirclement, so that he did not notice anything along the way.

Whose idea was this?

Is there still a bishop left in Caritus?

While the two armies had not yet officially started fighting, his perception searched through the ranks of the enemy to find a bishop-level figure. After looking around, he did not find any bishops, at most the priests, coming and going in the army.

But...... Even if he was just a priest, Benjamin felt a great pressure.

The mages of the brigade in the grassland have not yet joined them, and now on their side, there are only about twenty mages with relatively strong combat effectiveness. The disparity between the casters is extremely large, and the number of soldiers is also crushed, this battle is very difficult to fight!

If you just hit it so hard, I'm afraid you're going to lose......

Benjamin took a deep breath and flew in the sky with the twenty-odd mages. He asked one of the mages to cast a spell to amplify his voice, then shouted in a loud voice over the battlefield.

"Warriors of Caritus, do not believe the slander of the Church, the real king is here. If you kill him, Karitus will become a slave to Ikor!"

There was no way, before the soldier killed the red eye, he had to find a way to turn people around.

He knew in his heart that the church could control the generals, but they could not plant a cross on every soldier. Of these soldiers, there must have been many who were kept in the dark.
