Chapter 878: Haunted

In this way, the news of the Black Nightmare Army spread throughout the Kingdom of Hori again.

Because of the previous announcement issued by the church, most people thought that there was really a big war, and the Black Nightmare army had been exterminated, and the mages had been driven out of the country, and there was no way to continue to make waves. That's why people were so surprised when a series of towns in the eastern part of the kingdom were attacked.

This elusive army...... What the hell is going on?

"Is the Black Nightmare really so powerful, and it's only been a few days since it was defeated, and it can come back so quickly?"

"You're stupid! I'm afraid they weren't really badly hurt by the church. Think about it, it's not the first time that the church has released such a thing as a false announcement, and you still believe them?"

"This ...... I'm so disappointed in them!"

Undoubtedly, this is another serious blow to the credibility of the church. The announcement a few days ago was still posted on the street, but it was slapped in the face by the facts and turned into a complete laughing stock. The next morning, bulletin boards in many places were filled with all kinds of swear words and indecent organs, and the footprints were imprinted on the two big words "church", which was very conspicuous.

At the same time, the rebellion that had just fallen silent was also re-raised under the covert impetus of Benjamin. And the Black Nightmare Army has undoubtedly become the leader in the minds of the rebels.

"I thought the Black Nightmare were really defeated, ...... What a relief. ”

"I don't know how to become a member of them? What about the Nightmare Society? I heard that they have been operating along the coast before, and I don't know where they are hiding now......

After the attacks on those towns, the Dark Nightmare destroyed the local churches, plundered many ordnance and equipment, and then retreated from the city with many aspiring men, and the world disappeared. No one knew where they had gone, let alone where they had come from, and the location of the Nightmare had become a mystery to countless people.

Ordinary people are curious, and the rebel forces want to get in touch, not to mention the church, I don't know how many eyeliners have been sent out to search for their whereabouts all over the eastern border of the Hori Kingdom......

At the same time, several people are desperate to find the location of the Black Nightmare.

"Why haven't they heard from me?"

In a remote village in the south of the kingdom, six nobles gathered in a hut, and everyone had a somewhat anxious look on their faces. The princess was placed beside them, leaning back in her chair, looking ignorant and not knowing anything.

After escaping from the royal capital with the princess, they fled all the way, and after several twists and turns, they finally hid in this place, temporarily avoiding the pursuit of the church. Although at present, in order to prevent the news of the princess's disappearance from spreading, the church has also suppressed their news by the way, and has not convicted them. But there is no doubt that if they dare to appear in the public eye, it is a few dead people.

They have taken some important family members out and used the family power to make a cover, but ...... That's all.

The six nobles at this moment, wearing the most modest coarse linen clothes, are no different from the commoners. They don't have any power at their disposal, they can't contact foreign forces, and it's impossible for them to sneak out on their own.

At first, when they saw the announcement that Benjamin had been beaten away by the church, their hearts were half cold. But fortunately, the church was just trying to save face, and when the Black Nightmare reappeared in the kingdom, all six of them breathed a sigh of relief.

- Benjamin is still here, and as long as they contact the Dark Nightmares, all problems will be solved.

It's just that they find that how to connect is a big problem.

"No way, we're hiding here now, and they're sure they won't be able to find anyone. "And there's no way we're going to find their hiding place...... It's a dead end. ”

Everyone's faces are not very good-looking.

"If we continue like this, the church will find out about us one day. ”

"What should I do?"

Several people looked at each other, trying to discuss a plan, but the air grew dreary. Soon, no one even spoke, and after losing their status as nobles, they found themselves useless.

How can they find someone who the church can't find?

After a long silence, suddenly, Duke Colin raised his head and hesitated to speak: "Perhaps...... We have another way to find them. ”

Everyone's eyes lit up.

"What's the solution?"

"Like the rumors outside, they should continue to raid the kingdom's towns. If we get to the target location in advance, we can get in touch with the Black Nightmare Army when they call!"

When the nobles heard this, they all frowned.

"How do we know which city the Dark Nightmare will attack?"

"Split up, try your luck, as long as one of them gets right. Duke Colin sighed and said, "As long as Dean Benjamin knows about our condition, he will contact the rest of them." ”

The rest took a deep breath. They understand how risky this split is – the church doesn't stop manhunting, and if one person is caught, the rest will be dangerous.

But in this case, they don't seem to have any other way.

"So be it. ”

Eventually, the nobles nodded. They exchanged a complicated but determined look at each other, opened the door, and left from here with the princess in their arms.

Meanwhile.

Benjamin led the Black Nightmare Army, drove the chariot, and returned with a full load. They crossed the long underground passage and returned to their camp beneath Lake Pearl.

The operation was a great success, and the church had no idea that they would pop up there, so that every target was successfully captured by them. Grain, grass, weapons, materials...... They plundered everything they wanted, and even got several chests of life-saving crosses, as well as two cannons of Light.

However, in order to prevent spies from getting in, this time they could not absorb manpower from the people, so the number of the Black Nightmare Army remained the same.

"In the future, the Church's main defensive target will definitely be concentrated in the eastern area. Back at the camp, Benjamin quickly convened another military council, "We can dig another hole out of Lake Pearl and attack the nearby towns by surprise." ”

"This is around here...... Could it be that we are too close to the royal capital?" a knight asked.

"We're going to do it quickly, don't pick big targets, we won't have problems. Benjamin's thought was firm, "The most dangerous place is the safest place, and they couldn't have imagined that our goals would shift so quickly." ”

When everyone heard this, they discussed it for a while, and finally agreed on this general policy. They began to discuss specific operational objectives and personnel allocations, and about two hours later, the military meeting ended and a new round of operational plans was customized.

Benjamin returned to his tent.

After doing so much today alone, he was lying in bed, feeling a little tired. Still, he didn't feel sleepy. The oil lamp on the table flickered, and he turned his head to look at the light, and suddenly took a deep breath.

“...... I could feel that it was getting closer. He said slowly in his heart.

The system was uncharacteristically quiet and said nothing.

"Hey, what about you? Split again?"

The system is still silent.

Benjamin was starting to feel a little weird.

"You ......"

"What are you arguing about?" the system just happened to come out and interrupted him impatiently, "It's okay, don't shout, I'm busy." ”

Benjamin frowned: "What are you busy with, why didn't I just tell you not to speak?"

"Of course I have my own business, which with your low human intelligence will never understand. Somehow, the system was extraordinarily arrogant today, saying, "Okay, okay, what are you supposed to do, don't come and quarrel with me." ”

“......”

Benjamin scratched his head, as if he had taken the script wrong.

However, he did not say anything more, but got up and blew out the oil lamp, lay down again, and closed his eyes. It's not early, there are more tasks waiting for him tomorrow, and it's time to rest.

In the underground camp at night, the lit tents were extinguished one by one. Soon, the underground of Lake Pearl fell silent again.
