Half a day later, late at night, in a grove to the west of Riley. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The lush branches and dim night color become a natural cloak of invisibility, hiding the dense crowd of people in the woods. However, if you are in the middle of it, you can find out how many mages exist in this forest.

At a glance, the dense crowd of human heads is crowded together, and there is no edge in sight.

Despite the presence of so many people in the woods, the woods were still very quiet, and only Benjamin's voice echoed quietly.

"You may still be confused as to why I called you all to this wood. I saw him standing on a big rock and said slowly, "Actually, the parade is just fake news, and the purpose is to lure the bishop over." Just now, the news has been confirmed, and in four hours, a team of priests and a thousand soldiers led by the bishop will approach Riley City. And what we have to do is to ambush them so that the bishop will never return to the palace. ”

He set out from Border Desert City with his team of mages, and by the way, sent a message to the members of the resistance group gathered around Riley City, asking them to gather in this forest and wait for Benjamin's arrangement.

So, there is the current scene.

As soon as these words came out, the mages of the rebel organization all showed stunned expressions.

Benjamin also knows very well that this move is a bit of a force on Liangshan. These members had always thought they were going to march, only to tell them at this last minute that the march was fake and that the ambush of the bishop was real. This will definitely not make them react.

There was no way, in order to prevent the news from leaking out in advance, the bishop was alert, and Benjamin had no choice but to do so.

"It's ...... Really?" asked the mage.

"Of course it's true, Jerome. Benjamin looked at the mage and replied with a smile, "But don't worry, we'll win, and Fredon will be saved because of our battle." ”

To be honest, there were about five or six hundred mages in front of him, most of whom he had never seen. However, the system stored the information of each and every one of them. As a result, Benjamin can accurately call everyone by name.

-- This is also a small way for him to get closer to these people.

Obviously, after Benjamin's name was called, the mage was stunned, took a deep breath, and looked much calmer.

Not only him, but in the crowd, in fact, many mages looked a little excited. Although the news came unexpectedly, fighting the church head-on was actually something they had been longing for for a long time. Otherwise, they wouldn't want to join the resistance.

Although some people seem worried, they are only worried that things have come too hastily and that they are not fully prepared.

Only...... The spies planted by the church will have a bad look on their faces at this moment.

"Master Hans, where do you want to go?"

Through the water elemental sensing method, Benjamin observed a mage with a hesitant expression and a few steps back, as if trying to sneak away. Therefore, his face sank, he looked over there, and spoke coldly.

Everyone was stunned, and the mage who was stopped by Benjamin also shook his body and looked at Benjamin tremblingly.

However, he did not defend himself, but turned around and fled towards the woods without hesitation, taking advantage of the fact that no one else could react.

Seeing this, Benjamin also made a move.

Without any spells or magic fluctuations, an ice pick condensed and headed straight for the back of the spy mage!

The Spy looked back in a panic and threw a cross, opening a barrier to protect himself. However, as soon as the icicle hit it, the shield split apart, turned into bits of golden light, and disappeared without a trace.

And the spy himself was also pierced by an ice pick in the blink of an eye, bleeding profusely. Before the other mages could react, he maintained a stunned expression and fell straight down.

Seeing this, Benjamin let out a cold snort.

The cross that ran out of his hand had already proved the identity of this guy, and he didn't need to explain anything.

Among the other mages, one threw a fireball out, controlling the flames and burning the corpse of the other person as if the person had not appeared since the beginning.

"It's because of this kind of person that I have to keep my plan a secret from everyone until now. Benjamin shook his head and continued, "Right now, we don't have much time. You may not be ready for battle, but I've prepared some potions and magic items for you to use later. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the mercenary who was following him. The mercenary nodded, pushed several large boxes, and began to distribute potions and magic items to everyone.

The stock of potions is abundant, and he has prepared potions for everyone such as mana boost, mental power recovery, and quick healing. There is no way to do it, and in the end, each person just gets a small life-saving wooden card, which, like the cross, can automatically trigger a shield.

This is the best piece of equipment Benjamin can put together in a short period of time.

One by one, the mages took their equipment, took a deep breath, and gradually reacted, regaining their composure, realizing what they were going to do next.

- They're going to war.

For most people, the battle came suddenly. But...... From the death of the king to the present life of the church, what news did not come suddenly?

No one has any objections. They followed Benjamin's orders, got in order, lined up in line, and began to move towards the planned ambush site. There were only four hours left, and they couldn't afford to waste it.

An hour later, they entered a valley.

Black Rock Valley, which is a remote path from Snowy City to Riley City, has narrow terrain, dense trees, and many magical beasts. News came from the Prime Minister, and the Bishop's Church led a team passing through here, and the spies in front also confirmed the news. Therefore, Benjamin made this place their ambush site.

Both the terrain and the vegetation here are very suitable for ambushes, and the numerous traces of demonic beasts can also cover up the traces of their unprofessional ambushes. As for the possibility of being interfered with by Warcraft...... In the middle of the desert, Morris made a magic prop that can drive away demonic beasts, which can be used in this place.

The dark night was starless and moonless, and the sky was full of clouds. They probably won't be able to find such a perfect ambush environment again.

About marching to war, Benjamin knows nothing. Some of the actions related to the formation and ambush were arranged by the knight captain Reims. Hidden in the grass and trees, he couldn't help but pat Benjamin on the shoulder and sighed, "I never thought that one day I would actually lead an army of more than five hundred mages. ”

"It's not an army. Benjamin shook his head and replied helplessly.

As for the next battle deployment, they arranged very little, presumably Benjamin used his mind to cast a spell to strike first, but all the mages jumped out with him, and the target priority ranged from bishops to priests to soldiers. As for the rest...... Then it's up to you to react on the spot.

There's really no way to call them "army" by the word "army".

With their level of training, Benjamin didn't dare to arrange anything more. The combat experience that the mages had accumulated in the past was the only thing they relied on at the moment.

"After all, it's a mage, so you can't ask for too much. Lance comforted, "Don't worry, judging from my previous experience in marching and fighting, we will not lose this battle." ”

Benjamin smiled: "Then I will lend you auspicious words." ”

In fact, he is still confident.

In any case, they are all battle mages, and they still have at least combat literacy. There are only 200 priests brought by the bishop, and many of them are fishing in troubled waters, even if they are crushed by numbers, there should be no problems.

In this way, more than 500 mages were ambushed among the woods of the Black Rock Valley. Benjamin turned on the water elemental sensing method, monitoring the direction of the bishop's team in the distance, motionless, like an owl in the night.
