Chapter 530: Guarding Amber City
Benjamin has been in contact with Fredon's Frontier City.
During this time, Carrets was in turmoil, but Fredden's situation was quite stable. General Stewart, who occupied the capital, did not claim the throne, but put the delirious princess on the throne, and became the de facto ruler of Freden.
However, after all, there were still some reactionary forces in the country, and General Stewart was busy dealing with them, and he did not notice Benjamin's stronghold in the border desert city. Because of this, Bian Mocheng has been calm. Morris took the mage to farm in Border Desert City, and has made some good progress.
According to the previous news, they have cultivated more than a dozen talents who can make magic items. And the first batch of mages who broke away from their apprentices and were able to skillfully use elementary magic were also trained and had a certain amount of combat effectiveness.
Benjamin had been asking them to make some magic items that could be used in large-scale wars.
Morris also happily agreed, and started production early.
In the beginning, this request was made to deal with the church. But now, the church probably knows that they have no chance of winning, so they have fully retreated from Carretus, and there will be no more trouble in the short term. Therefore, Benjamin just happened to use these things against Ikor.
- In his opinion, Ikol's overall strength is definitely going to overpower them. If they want to win, they have to come up with a few tricks.
After sending the message, Benjamin selected a few people from the mage team with strong combat effectiveness, and set off with them, flying to Amber City.
The general is still preparing for the dispatch of troops. They certainly didn't march as fast as a mage, so Benjamin simply didn't wait for them, and could have arrived at Amber City earlier to get to Amber City to start his work.
"Those mages of Ikor...... Can't we get them over?"
Halfway through, Joanna asked with some regret.
"I'm afraid it's impossible. Benjamin shook his head and said, "You don't know about that kind of secret potion. Moreover, this strange culture of obedience has become the norm in Ikor's mage circles. The Mage's Guild is in full swing, some people are forced to do it, and some people are willing to do it. ”
"Can you really only fight to the death......
"Let's see. Benjamin shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "The situation is still unclear. Wait and see what Ikor is doing, we may not be out of chances. ”
In his heart, he certainly didn't want to fight a bunch of mages. They were both defeated, and the church hid in the kingdom of Hori to laugh off its own teeth.
Not to mention bringing all the mages to their side, but at least...... Until the problem of the church is completely resolved, it is better for the mages not to fight among themselves.
A few hours later, they arrived at Amber City.
In Amber City, the king had already allocated them a quarter, and the former stronghold of the Masonic Order had been sealed off for Benjamin and them. Benjamin took the king's edict and handed over to the local officials, and was greeted unusually in.
However, at this time, he really was in no mood to deal with the traps of these officials.
Rejecting any offer of a banquet or something, Benjamin and the others quickly began recruiting mages in Amber City.
After all, it is a big city in the country, and there have been parades to distribute the "Declaration of Free Mages" here, so there is definitely potential to be tapped here. The enemy's army could come at any time, and one more mage would give you more strength.
And in the evening of the same day, Benjamin also received news from Morris.
"It's almost ready. 200 disposable fire elemental shells, 100 auto-triggered life-saving wood chips, large barrier construction devices......"
Listening to the sound coming from the sound transmission wood, Benjamin was a little surprised and nodded with satisfaction.
So many things have been made in this time?
Suddenly, he felt much more confident in his heart. Even if Ikor has more people than them, with these things, it will definitely not be a problem to defend Amber City, and maybe he can even give the other party a "surprise".
"Send a team to bring things over. Benjamin spoke into the woodchips, "And the first batch of newly trained mages, come along, and train them." I'll call a few people to meet them across the border. ”
The border between Carretus and Fredon was less tense, and he didn't have to go out himself, and these things should be able to arrive safely.
After doing all this, Benjamin can be regarded as putting down a big stone in his heart.
Walked out the door and inquired about the situation of Ikor Army. There are still nearly 100 kilometers between them and Amber City, and they will definitely not be able to fight in a short time. Soldiers on patrol came and went, and the situation in the city was fairly stable.
Therefore, he also worked with several other mages to promote and recruit more mages in Amber City.
A few days passed.
The general, with 50,000 soldiers, also arrived at Amber City. Later, they were busy building fortifications in the city, and the number of patrols increased. Suddenly, the people in the city panicked. They realized that there might be a war, so many of them fled the city for refuge.
Benjamin didn't stop them.
It's normal to flee, they can't do the same things as the church. Ikor began to besiege the city, and these civilians would definitely suffer, so it would be better to go out and take refuge. As long as Benjamin and the others hold Amber City, these people will come back obediently.
Of course, many remained in the city, confident in the king and his army. Some people with magical talents were also sought out by Benjamin to form a team of thirty or forty people.
Among them, Benjamin even found a few of the earliest local mages of Caritus.
"We were originally Mage Freemasons. Half a year ago, the wind in the country was not quite right, and other mages were running out. We quietly withdrew, went incognito, and lived in Amber City. Later, you sang and marched in Amber City, and we were shocked!"
When the mages saw Benjamin, they smiled as happily as if they had finally returned to the organization, and said with some excitement.
Benjamin nodded in satisfaction.
He also thought that the original local mages of Carretus were all dead, otherwise he would hide in the deep mountains and old forests, and he would not be born for the rest of his life. Now it seems that it is okay, there are always people who stay.
"You can rest assured that the church has been kicked out by us. Benjamin smiled at them, "As long as we bring back Ikor's invading army, the mages of Carretus will be able to live freely again." ”
