Chapter 726: Grain Interception Team
The general's words made Benjamin a little stunned.
He didn't expect the church to move so fast. There are still more than a dozen kilometers...... At most, it's a week's journey, and the church can't wait a little longer, and there may be a war within this month. They don't want to play yin anymore, so they have to come and fight them while the academy is not yet mature.
For Benjamin, this is not good news.
“...... How many Holy Light Cannons can you build in a month?" Hearing this, the chairman couldn't help but take a deep breath and suddenly asked.
Benjamin shook his head and replied, "Five doors at most." ”
Time was too tight, not only the Holy Light Cannon, but also the secret army they had just set up to build, how could it be possible to take shape within a month?
Moreover, once the war starts, the academy merchant faction will be affected, and their income may also fluctuate. Benjamin may have been able to make a fortune from selling arms, but stability was more important to them.
They can't let the church send troops so soon!
"How much more do you know about the transfer of grain and grass in the Kingdom of Hori, and do you have their detailed routes?" Benjamin said as if he had suddenly made up his mind, "If we really want to go to war with the church, we need more time to prepare. ”
The general was slightly stunned and said, "Are you going to ......?"
"I'm going to destroy their grain and grass. Benjamin said categorically, "I know that destroying a group of grain teams alone will not have any impact on the overall situation. But by doing so, we can at least drag on for another week. ”
And if he makes trouble in the territory of the Hori Kingdom again, especially if he still has that crucial key on his body, the church's plan to send troops will definitely be delayed by him.
It's just that several other people showed surprise at the idea proposed by Benjamin.
"Do this...... It's too dangerous, isn't it?"
"Don't worry, it's not the first time I've done this. Benjamin smiled and said, "I can get the blueprints for the Holy Light Cannon, so you don't have to worry about my safety." ”
"But you are the head of the Academy of Magic, and the hope of all mages. "If you die, the situation on our side will deteriorate to an unimaginable level." ”
"I'm not going to die. Benjamin shook his head and said, "You don't have to persuade me, this trip must be made." Otherwise, what better way do you have to delay the army?"
When several people heard this, they looked at each other, as if they were still full of anxiety about this action. It's normal that they don't understand what Benjamin has done before, and they don't know that Benjamin has long been accustomed to this kind of problem-solving method of dancing on the tip of a knife. Their kind of normal high-ranking people must not be able to understand Benjamin.
Benjamin just knows what he knows.
He has such strength, and he shouldn't just sit in the back forever like ordinary superiors and strategize. In the face of the church, they have to use all possible resources to have a chance of success.
And Benjamin's extraordinary strength is already one of the biggest chips on their side.
"Please also ask the dean to be careful and not to force himself. ”
Eventually, after a few words of advice, these people acquiesced in Benjamin's actions, and even looked at Benjamin with the gaze of a righteous hero, as if he were going to die this time. General Stewart also gave Benjamin all the information he investigated, and also named several confidential undercover agents, so that Benjamin could contact them and get help after entering the Horry Kingdom.
In this regard, Benjamin is actually very helpless.
It's just another trip to the kingdom of Hori, killing some people and burning some food and grass, and getting rid of the pursuit of the church again, is it necessary to make it so scary?
After the arms meeting was over, he arranged the affairs of the academy and set off directly, without delaying at all. Those people also wanted to send him some helpers or something, but he directly vetoed them, saying that they didn't need so much trouble.
However, this time, the way to enter the kingdom of Horry will indeed be a little more troublesome.
The mountains on the border are probably already full of eyeliners, and Benjamin doesn't want to startle the snake, so he can only bypass the ghost abyss. Because time was really tight, he flew all the way without even sleeping, and only after a day he made a detour into the kingdom of Hori.
After that, he had to get in touch with General Stewart's eyeliner first.
"Where is that grain team now? Have you found their location?"
At the mayor's house in a small town, Benjamin rubbed his temples and asked.
I really didn't expect that the people under the general were so powerful, and there was a person who was mixed up as the mayor of the town, no wonder I could hear this kind of news, think about those people in the dark department of the academy, and only dare to mix up some news in a remote tavern.
"Master Mage, that food convoy passed through our town six days ago and headed northeast. The mayor hurriedly unfolded the map, and said respectfully, "I have kept an eye on it, and let some of the brothers wait on the various roads to see where the grain team will go." Some brothers didn't find anything, some brothers ...... Directly dead. ”
At this point, the mayor paused before continuing, "And those dead brothers, their corpses show us a clear way. ”
With a pen dipped in red ink, he drew a long, thin line on the map.
Benjamin looked at the line and couldn't help but be in awe.
"Is this the route of the grain team?" he asked, taking a deep breath, "where are they now, can you estimate it?"
"It should be near the Norman Valley, and we are almost in Crewe. The mayor replied, "Master Mage, please act quickly. ”
Benjamin nodded: "Of course. ”
If it was usual, he might have tried to learn more from here, but time waited. Crewe Town was already a military powerhouse, and once the grain and grass arrived there, Benjamin would probably have to face the simultaneous bombardment of several Holy Light cannons.
Now the church does not know that Benjamin has entered the kingdom of Hori, and he wants to take this opportunity to completely cut off this team of grain and grass.
Bidding farewell to the mayor, Benjamin sets off again. Under the dark night sky, his figure hid in the mist, speeding forward, choosing the most sparsely populated route, and no one could find him.
"What do you think...... Is the church really ignorant of your coming?" the system asked suddenly.
"As long as no one leaks the secret, they can't find out. Benjamin replied in his heart, "I also have a forbidden blister sealed with that key, and the church can't establish that kind of induction." ”
"Whatever...... I'm just talking about my intuition. ”
