Chapter 886: The Ice Boat Escapes
Dragging their tired bodies, the surviving Dark Nightmare Army quickly left the area.
They remembered the initial order to hide their identities and rush to Koster as soon as possible. Despite such a big change, at this moment, they don't seem to have much else to do but continue with their original plan.
The vicinity of Lake Pearl was empty, and there were hardly any people to be seen, and their evacuation did not encounter the slightest trouble.
This was still a bit of a surprise to them.
"If it's true that the church blew up our tunnel, there should be someone patrolling around here, right? There are also a lot of footprints on the ground, how can they ...... Where have all the people in the church gone?"
No one could answer the question, and they didn't have time to think about it. Since the enemy had given them life, of course they took advantage of this opportunity to quickly escape, and then disguised themselves as ordinary refugees and flocked to Koster.
As for where the people in the church have gone......
More than a dozen kilometers north of Lake Pearl, under the clear sky in the afternoon, an iceboat flew by.
"It's really good enough to chase. ”
Benjamin stood at the stern of the boat, glanced back, and said to himself.
"Don't you just want them to catch up? The system came out and said lazily, "If they don't chase them, how will the people buried in the ground escape?"
Benjamin held the stern ice railing, took a deep breath, and did not speak.
He just wanted enough people to survive.
When he arrived at Lake Pearl, the tragic sight almost made him lose his mind. But it's okay...... The system suddenly detected the life activity underneath the ground and told him. It was only then that Benjamin remembered that they had prepared an escape escape in advance.
If there are people in the secret passage, it means that the Black Nightmare Army has not been destroyed!
The result relieved Benjamin, but at the same time, he began to worry about the evacuation. There is no doubt that after the Church planned this attack, the area around Lake Pearl must be full of paladins, and it will be too difficult for the surviving Dark Nightmare to evacuate.
Someone had to divert the attention of the church for the survivors to escape through the secret passage, and this person ...... Who else but himself could do it?
Therefore, he appeared in front of Grant in a very high-profile manner in a big boat, and then forcibly dragged the time, drawing everyone's attention, and finally turned around and ran, opening up a little space for the transfer of the Black Tare Army.
"How long are you going to run?"
Benjamin was thinking about it, and suddenly, Grant's voice came from not far behind the iceboat.
The voice was accompanied by several strands of light that flew at a rapid pace.
"Hold him down. Benjamin was not surprised, but used the spiritual connection to directly summon the water elemental spirit. As soon as the elf appeared, the blue light flashed all over his body, and he instantly blocked those few extreme light filaments.
And it itself swooped towards Grant.
During the chase, Grant flew the fastest and caught up with the iceboat several times. However, Benjamin had no intention of fighting him at all, and directly threw the water elemental elf over, forcing Grant to fall into battle with a wild attack.
After about two minutes, the Hydra Elemental will be defeated by the siege of Glatt and the other bishops, and will flee back with a whoosh. As a result, the pursuing forces of the Church will be held back for a while, and it will take some time to catch up.
It was in this way that Benjamin was able to hang the church people behind all the time, but he was not really caught up.
"You...... Have you figured out what to do?"
Pushing his wheelchair, Maurice came out of the cabin with all the soldier mages, looking nervously at the black pursuers behind the ship.
From the time the tunnel was blown up until Benjamin began to divert the tiger from the mountain, he and the others stayed on the ship. Benjamin didn't have time to put them down, and they could only watch what happened, but they couldn't do anything.
"What else can I do? Get rid of them, there are too many of them, it's impossible to fight them head-on. Benjamin's tone was quite calm, which also reassured Morris and the others.
As he spoke, the water elemental elf also completed the task again, quickly fled back, and instantly escaped into the consciousness space to recuperate, preparing to delay Grant's pursuit in a few minutes.
"But...... How do you get rid of them?" Suddenly, the soldier in charge of guarding the princess seemed to think of something, and became uneasy again, "They have taken the initiative to do something to the princess, no matter how we run, they can know where we are, right?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes quickly fell on the fainting princess in the soldier's arms.
"Kill her!"
A few soldiers, who were already emotional, quickly shouted out.
Morris hurriedly persuaded: "This is not appropriate, you must not be rash......"
"What's the use of keeping her? It's because of her that the location of the tunnel is exposed. If we keep it now, we'll never be able to get rid of the church!"
"Yes! Kill her!"
"What a princess, it's just a puppet of the church, we can't stay!"
The collapse of the tunnel had already brought a lot of excitement to these soldiers, and one of the causes of the crime was in front of them. Under the interaction of the atmosphere, they couldn't help but become a little excited.
Some people even ran towards the soldiers in charge of guarding the princess, reaching out to snatch it, and wanted to end the princess's life with their own hands.
"Enough!
Benjamin immediately shouted at everyone and stopped everyone.
The soldiers were stunned, took a few steps back, and the commotion immediately subsided again.
"Even if she's alive, I can get rid of the church, you don't have to worry about that. Benjamin took a deep breath, looked around at the crowd, and spoke slowly, "I know you're all angry right now, but killing her won't solve anything. It is a sign of impotence to tilt anger on someone who has no power to resist, and she is not the object of our real anger. ”
As he spoke, he turned and pointed to the blackened pursuers behind the iceboat.
"See? That's the culprit of everything. Benjamin pointed to the group of people in the church, facing the soldiers, and said categorically, "Now is not the time to quarrel with yourself, I hope you can save this anger and use it where it really deserves!"
And this is what a qualified soldier should do. ”
All the soldiers fell silent.
They looked at the pursuers of the church, then at the fainting princess, and finally, after a long silence, nodded at Benjamin. Benjamin nodded at them, and without saying anything, they turned around and returned to the cabin with heavy steps.
Morris looked at their backs and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he turned his head back to Benjamin: "I'm glad you didn't lose your mind because of this heavy loss. ”
"I came from nothing, and this blow is nothing. Benjamin took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, "Besides, the damage is not as bad as it seems, and we still have a chance." ”
Morris was a little surprised: "You mean...... Are you going to go ahead with your plan?"
Benjamin nodded.
"Maybe we should reconsider. "No matter how many people can escape through the secret passages, the ordnance, the materials, the food and grass in the warehouse...... I'm afraid it won't be saved. Without them, it would have been very difficult for us to hold Koster, so perhaps we should go back into hiding in the shadows and continue to use the guerrilla to gather strength and wait for the right time. ”
"There's nowhere to hide. Benjamin's expression remained unchanged, "Demonic Beast Mountain Range, Underground Passage...... Is there anything else in the Kingdom of Hori that the Church can't search? It's useless to hide, right now, here is the limit of guerrilla, and we have reached the time when it's time to fight hard. ”
"But have we ever touched it?"
Benjamin looked at the pursuers who began to close the distance a little bit, looked at Grant's gradually enlarged figure in the distance, and nodded.
“...... Don't worry, we still have hole cards. ”
