Chapter 889: Back to the city

At that moment, everyone in the church was dumbfounded.

"People...... What about people?"

The Scaiver Mountains in front of them towered into the sky, the stone walls were bare, and there was nothing on them. However, they watched as the iceship crashed straight into the stone wall, and then disappeared completely, and there was not even a trace of it.

They couldn't believe their eyes and froze in place, not knowing what to do for a moment. Are they going to keep chanting? But ...... But they didn't dare to stop, His Majesty the Pope had just been angry, and if anyone touched the mold again, no one could afford it.

In the end, it was Grant himself who stopped.

He looked at the mountain wall in front of him, stunned, and silent for a long time. Then, with a cold look in his eyes, he led the people to rush up the mountain, and even tried to "rush" into the mountain like Benjamin's iceboat. But needless to say, they all made a big hole in the rock face, but they didn't make any progress at all.

Enraged, Grant manipulated the figure and began to bombard the Scaiver Mountains with punch after punch, threatening to break through the entire mountain. But...... Eventually, after about fifteen minutes, the figure seemed to turn into holy light and slowly dissipate into the air because of the time, and the mountain wall was blocked and a deep crater was made, but the situation was still the same.

And the weirdest thing is that they try to sense the princess's location, but the sense tells them that the princess is "in the mountains", moving slowly towards the east, and it doesn't seem to be very far away from them.

Can...... They just can't find anyone.

In this way, the church spent about the whole night searching the Scaiver Mountains. It wasn't until the princess had left the border along the mountains that they had to give up. The priests dragged their tired bodies back, all with their heads bowed, frustrated and fearful, not knowing which of their popes his might turn his anger on when they returned.

And at the same time, Scaifer "Mountains".

"It turns out that your ghost was captured from here. ”

Beneath the abyss, the iceship's hatch is sealed off to create a complete soundproofing that insulates the ghost's illusions. Benjamin and the others sat in the cabin, heading east. They looked at the scene in the abyss, and Morris couldn't help but speak, and said with a look of admiration.

Through the ice wall, they could see many ghosts flying around, like jellyfish floating in the deep ocean. And it was the illusion created by these ghosts that transformed the entire "Scaifer Mountains" so that they could escape from the pursuit of the church.

- They also didn't expect that Benjamin's "there is a way to get out" turned out to be like this!

"Well, the other side of the abyss is the world of the undead, and we caused some trouble over there before, so it's best not to get close. Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and said calmly, "But...... In any case, the church will not be able to see through the secrets here for a while, and we are safe. ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded, with the joy of the rest of their lives in their eyes.

"What are we going to do next?" someone asked.

"Hurry back to Koster as soon as possible, meet up with the others, and move on to the next step. Benjamin replied without thinking, "Yes...... You may have to take a long detour. ”

In this way, the iceship flew along the abyss at high speed, and after about a few hours, they left the kingdom of Hori and entered the territory of Ikor directly. In another country, even if the church can sense the location of the princess, it is difficult to threaten them. So Benjamin and his party came out of the abyss, then from north to south, across the whole of Ikor, and finally along the coastline, and rushed back to Koster.

The situation is not rosy.

Although they had just set up a church, as far as the entire Pearl Lake incident was concerned, the tunnels had collapsed and the Black Nightmare Army had suffered heavy losses, and Benjamin was only trying to remedy it as much as he could. And after that, the church will certainly not rest on its laurels, and this war is far from over.

That night, an undercurrent began to surge in the kingdom of Hori. Obviously, the movement of the tunnel when it was blown up was so loud that it must not have been hidden, and the news spread all over the country in an instant. There was a riot among the people, and there were different opinions, and even several other countries knew about it, and kept sending spies to inquire about it.

And after an overnight search of the Scaiver Mountains to no avail, the church ...... Apparently not idle.

"The Kingdom Army is heading for Koster. ”

Benjamin was even in a hurry to receive such news.

He was not surprised by this, but just said to Transsonic Wood: "Count our losses in the Pearl Lake tunnels, gather strength, and prepare well for defense." I'll rush back as soon as I can. ”

As the first stronghold of the Black Nightmares, Koster's situation is stable for now. The Rune Defense Array guarded that place, and in the past few days, the surviving soldier mages in the tunnels have rushed back one after another to join up with the large army. All kinds of anti-church people fled there, and some wealthy businessmen in China also began to contact them, willing to provide financial support to jointly bring down the church.

The situation is not too bad, they can still fight. And the church is obviously aware of this, so it organized a wave of troops, wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to strangle the Black Nightmare army as quickly as possible.

He's going to have to rush back right away.

In this way, he drove the iceboat all the way, and about the third morning after the tunnel collapsed, Benjamin landed on the coast of the kingdom of Hori and returned to Koster without any problems.

The kingdom army had not yet attacked, but it had only been three days since he left Koster, and the scene in the city was much more depressed. Many citizens have already fled in a hurry with their families. Benjamin walked on the busiest main road, more than half of the shops were closed, and the rest were just surviving. People in the streets looked uneasy, and many more hid in their homes, hoarding food, waiting for everything to pass.

"Why are so many people running? Are they so disconfident in the Black Nightmare?"

Benjamin asked as he walked into a blacksmith's shop that was still open, looked at the deserted inside.

"Haven't you heard? The Black Nightmare are all blown up! and even their leaders are gone!" said the shopkeeper, as if he didn't recognize him, "if I hadn't been reluctant to give up this shop, I would have run away." That's the Kingdom Army! Can you run in this city...... In fact, it has long been gone. ”

Benjamin's face was a little solemn when he heard this.

Looks like...... Before the church could call, they had to settle people's hearts.

He left the street and walked first to the Black Nightmare garrison here.

The station is a large area in the south of Koster, but it looks a little empty at the moment. Originally, the camp was prepared for the entire Black Nightmare army, but after the collapse, many of the tents were useless. Several large warehouses were also empty, and the ordnance and grain and grass that should have been contained in them had been buried deep underground.

"Master Benjamin!

"Your Excellency, you're finally back!"

"A lot of people died, they ...... We ......"

The first second Benjamin walked in, the camp suddenly became noisy. It was as if something that had been suppressed had accumulated to a point, and the soldiers had just finished their drills when they rushed towards him regardless of it. Those eyes overflowing with complex emotions made Benjamin's heart unspeakably heavy.

He knew that these people were waiting for him to speak.

And he had to say something.

So, surrounded by countless soldiers, Benjamin came to the playground and slowly walked up to the high platform.
