Chapter 884: Stalling for Time
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the people in the church couldn't help but change, and the bishop's heart tightened. Killing the princess on the spot, this kind of thing is absolutely possible for the other party to do.
They became a little embarrassed again.
“...... Are you scared?" said Grant, narrowing his eyes and a little provocatively, "I don't even have the courage to fight head-on, and I only dare to threaten us with a child who has no power to fight back?"
Benjamin snorted coldly: "Don't talk about yourself so high-sounding, what you have done to her is many times dirtier than me." ”
"We are doing God's will, and you are killing yourself. ”
As he spoke, Grant stretched out his hand again, and a piece of holy light rippled out, and the tall wall of light in front of him suddenly began to deform, and the shape of the spear gradually appeared from it. For a moment, a cold killing intent filled the entire sky, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.
But it was at this moment that the bishop watched Grant's movements and nodded knowingly. He pulled a small silver bead out of his pocket, crushed it, and a faint fluctuation carrying some kind of information was transmitted.
They're going to start calling people.
With that fluctuation, the paladins and priests in the area around Lake Pearl suddenly got up and rushed to the location of Grant and Benjamin. As if not wanting to be noticed, they were extremely cautious in their approach, like assassins, and quietly began to build an encirclement.
And at the same time as the church reinforcements arrived......
"Hand over Your Majesty, or I will let you sink in this place, along with the men and the ship. After condensing an astonishing array of spears with the holy light, Grant did not attack, but said so.
The rest of the church hid behind him, carefully watching Benjamin's movements.
The bishop was wary. The current situation is still unclear, and there is no certainty of victory in a rash war, but they have called for reinforcements. As long as it drags on a little longer, reinforcements will arrive, and they will be invincible!
Therefore, they must hold off here and not start too early.
And Benjamin did not immediately go on the offensive.
"Enemies are enemies, you don't really think I'm going to believe your nonsense, do you?" he carried the princess, and suddenly condensed an ice blade in his hand, and put it on her neck, "If you don't want her to die, it's okay, exchange your lives." ”
One of the priests immediately exclaimed: "Nonsense!
Sou!
A very thin ice needle suddenly flew out from the oblique side, bypassing Grant's spear of holy light and heading straight for the priest. However, just before the ice needle was about to penetrate the back of his heart, Grant's eyes flickered, and a ball of holy light flew away, blocking the ice needle.
The priest broke out in a cold sweat, and only now did he realize that he had walked by the door of death, and suddenly wilted.
But...... So far, the two sides still have not started fighting.
"If you don't want to die, shut up, you are not qualified to speak here. Benjamin said coldly.
"Messenger of God, say whatever you want. As soon as Grant raised his hand, layers of holy light protected them again, forming a huge ball of light, enveloping all the people in the church.
The bishop was even more relieved.
It looks like it's really being dragged down......
That demon is probably also afraid of the strength of His Majesty the Pope, so he didn't act rashly, but because of the destruction of the Black Nightmare Army, he couldn't swallow this breath, so he refused to leave, and could only take the hostages here and let out cruel words.
It is impossible for this demon to really kill the princess, and Her Royal Highness has no hostages in his hands, and the situation is even more unfavorable to him. So they can drag the situation down as much as they want, and wait until the reinforcements arrive and lay a net of heaven and earth, which is when this demon is ambushed!
And just like that, time passed minute by minute. Benjamin and the church were in a stalemate for a long time, and from time to time there were small sneak attacks, but there was no real fight. The ice blade stopped at the princess's neck, but it never went any further, and the princess had already fainted.
About half an hour passed.
“...... Here it comes. ”
The smoke around him gradually dissipated, and suddenly, more than a dozen figures emerged from the smoke, flying from all angles, surrounding the ice boat. They were all dressed in the bishop's red robes, and a dozen glances fell on Benjamin in unison.
With that, more priests flew out in all directions. As if locusts were crossing the border, the dense figures stopped behind the dozen or so bishops, and for a while, even the sky was mostly covered.
At the same time, the presence of paladins continued to emerge on the ground. They crawled along the collapse, lined up in groups, as if woven into a silver-gray carpet. Everyone stared at Benjamin in the air, shields held high, ready to waste even a little bit of Benjamin's mental power with their lives.
In a word...... In about ten seconds, the empty Pearl Lake area instantly became crowded. And thousands of pairs of eyes, all filled with pure killing intent at the moment, only fell on one person.
"There's no way to escape. ”
Grant let out a cold snort, and said word by word with the impatience that he finally didn't have to pretend anymore.
Benjamin looked around the dense encirclement.
"So...... You've transferred all the people in the neighborhood who can be used, just to kill me?" he looked at Grant indifferently, "You really think that more people are useful?"
Grant, however, had no appetite for any more nonsense.
He waved his hand violently, and the holy light spear that had been waiting in the air for an unknown amount of time finally vibrated one by one at this moment. Then, the huge spear pierced the sky and headed straight for Benjamin!
At the same time, the bishops led countless priests to start a joint spell casting. Vast expanses of holy light converged towards this place, and the light element reached an unprecedented terrifying concentration in an instant!
Benjamin only raised an eyebrow.
At that moment, he suddenly spoke, pronouncing a short, quaint syllable. Then, a blue elf-like figure flashed over his shoulder, and immediately after, dark blue runes appeared around the entire iceship.
In the next second, the Holy Light Spear was the first to collide.
Boom! Boom!
Before the spear approached the iceship, it seemed to hit some invisible wall, and exploded, its blinding light scorching like the sun.
In front of the iceboat, a large net of blue filaments suddenly appeared. Looking closely, each filament was compressed by a huge amount of water elemental limit, and a large net also blocked the Holy Light Spear one after another.
"Hmph...... That alone won't help me. ”
Benjamin's voice came from the splash of holy light. The church was startled, but when they looked up, they saw that the iceboat had suddenly rushed out of the dazzling light.
The iceboat rushed straight towards the weakest point of the encirclement.
The bishop was stunned for a moment, then shouted anxiously: "Stop! stop him!
