Chapter 773: Countermeasures

From the moment Benjamin stormed the camp with his army, the situation had completely turned in their favor.

It is estimated that there should still be nearly 100,000 soldiers left in the entire camp, but because they have lost their command, they are like flies without a head, and some of them have not even had time to put on their armor, and they have already fallen into a bitter battle.

A total of 70,000 people participated in the raid, but for some reason, every soldier in the Kingdom of Horry had the illusion that there were enemies everywhere.

"Where is His Majesty the Pope? What about the Bishop, where is the Captain...... The captain is gone?"

Everyone's mood was mixed with dazed despair, no one told them what to do, they had to fight on their instincts, rush through the crowd, and finally die in confusion.

And the remaining priests and bishops in the camp could hardly escape the pursuit of a group of mages.

Originally, the most advantageous thing on the church's side was joint spellcasting, but in this chaotic situation, all the priests were scattered in all corners of the camp, and they had to get caught up in a melee with the mage, and they didn't have the slightest chance to cast spells together.

Benjamin is even more detached from the battlefield, using the detection of the system to specifically target those difficult bishops. The trauma of his mental power had damaged his strength somewhat, but those bishops were already fighting with other mages, and a few ice needles flew out of the dark corners, how could they prevent it?

In a word...... The plan for the night attack was even smoother than they had imagined.

"You, you shameless bastard, when His Majesty the Pope returns, he won't bypass you, he'll kill you all one by one!"

In the chaos of the battlefield, a bishop fell to the ground, glared at Benjamin fiercely, and said in a low, painful voice, with a gritted curse hidden in his resentful gaze.

Benjamin chuckled and looked at him condescendingly.

"I really envy you religious believers, this kind of spiritual victory...... Really invincible. He spoke slowly, "It's a pity, if you like to pin your hopes on something else, then you will never have a strong day." ”

With that, countless ice spikes grew out of the bishop's flesh and blood, ending his life completely.

Benjamin, on the other hand, turned his head and flew into the sky, looking down on the battlefield from above.

“...... We won. ”

Looking at the devastated camp and the corpses everywhere, he suddenly felt an indescribable emotion and said this. This was not the first time that the people of the church trembled before him, but it was the first time that he had truly "defeated" the church.

Overwhelming defeat.

This behemoth, shrouded in holy light, gradually became less massive in Benjamin's eyes.

Even the system spoke, and said in a voice with a bit of emotion: "Yes, it's not easy, I'm an ordinary and small artificial intelligence, I endured humiliation and stealthily life, developed silently, and finally relied on my intelligence to carry the whole audience, saving Ikor and countless Ziming in this country." Ah, I'm great!"

“...... This plan of action has nothing to do with your penny. ”

"Whatever, I'm great anyway. ”

Benjamin shook his head helplessly.

With such a stir, his mood just now was completely ruined by the system.

However, now is indeed not the time to be complacent, Benjamin drank another bottle of mental recovery potion and flew into the battlefield to speed up the final finishing touch.

And after half an hour, finally, the last priest fell, and the last enemy raised his hand to surrender, and Ikor won a complete victory in this raid.

The soldiers raised their heads and wiped the blood from their eyelids, revealing tired expressions. As far as the eye could see, the entire camp was already in shambles, and the corpses were piled up all over the ground like grain in a warehouse, and they looked extremely miserable in the light of the fire.

“...... There are quite a few priests who have fled in the chaos, are they going to chase them?" the president asked in a low voice as he flew over to Benjamin.

"Let them run, there's no point in chasing them any longer. Benjamin glanced around and said slowly, "Take everything you need to bring with you, and withdraw to Rock City." ”

Don't forget, although Grant was lured away, they had been fighting for almost two hours just now. No matter how stupid Grant is, he should understand what this is all about.

The other party may come back at any time.

When the president heard this, he nodded, and understood what Benjamin meant. They didn't have time to clean up the battlefield and take the prisoners, so they hurriedly picked up the remaining fifty Holy Light cannons in the camp and returned to Locke City, where they finally burned the entire camp.

After about half an hour, they re-established the walls of Locke City and looked west.

The fire was so bright that it almost turned the pitch black sky white.

"Dean, you and the Academy of Magic will be Ikor's eternal benefactors. The executive prime minister looked at the fire, was stunned, suddenly turned his head, and said.

Benjamin shook his head.

There are many secrets about the fall of the former queen and the change of government in Ikor that are not clear even to the officials in power now. Therefore, they will not know how far-reaching the influence Benjamin once had on the country.

Benefactors and enemies can't be counted......

"Don't rejoice too soon, the army that the Kingdom of Hori has separated is still outside, and their Pope has only been temporarily distracted. Benjamin digressed and said.

However, almost everyone's thoughts have become extremely optimistic.

"What else is there to say, the big picture has been decided. The Prime Minister turned his head, pointed to the fifty Holy Light cannons that had been pulled closer to the city, and said confidently, "Now, even if we go out and fight head-on, we can push back the remaining army of the Horry Kingdom." ”

Benjamin nodded: "It's true, it's just ......"

However, he had other worries.

Why hasn't Grant returned by now?

It had been about three hours since he had been lured away, and Benjamin had not seen any trace of Grant, nor had he heard from Miles or the decoy mage. What's going on over there?

You see, Benjamin gave Miles the key to the church's legacy. He was confident in Miles' strength and specifically asked the other party to keep the key, but after all this time, Benjamin began to feel that something was not right.

Don't...... Did Grant snatch the keys back?

But even if he had grabbed it, it would have been time to return to camp, right? It was a little strange that it was so silent now, as if Grant hadn't come at all.

Benjamin's mind was full of doubts. However, he couldn't guess what was going on, so he had to go back to his residence and wait patiently for a hearing back from Miles.

The soldiers in Locke City have just experienced a big battle, they are physically and mentally exhausted, they need to rest, and they can only wait until tomorrow to solve anything.

The noisy city of Rock gradually fell silent again, and the firelight in the distance was also extinguished little by little with the passage of time, and in the end, only a charred and messy ruin remained.

At about three or four o'clock in the evening, finally, the sound transmission wood chips, which had been silent for a long time, vibrate.

Under the call of the system, Benjamin got up in a daze and activated the sound transmission woodchip. It's just that after listening to that short voice, he was awakened from his sleep completely.

Coming out of the wood chips was Miles' voice:

"They're attacking Regina right now, you'd better get over as soon as possible!"
