Chapter 367: Ownership of Military Power

Eventually, Benjamin left the place with the information of the mages who had died "heroically". Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In fact, petitioning is not necessarily a good method, but it requires a sufficient number of people and a public and grand scene. In the open situation, the church will definitely not dare to do anything with these mages, but if you go in private, it will be in the hands of your opponents.

However, since they were all gone, Benjamin couldn't let them die in vain.

In order to lead a strong resistance force, more public support is needed. The Manifesto of Free Magic was just the beginning, and when the contradictions between the mage and the church were revealed, he planned to publish a periodical newspaper. And the names of these dead mages may be used as the content of the first issue of the article to enter the list of mages of the first batch of innocent persecuted.

Of course, all this will have to wait until then it will be completed step by step.

He can't be in a hurry.

Just like the stark contrast between Mage Finch's reaction before and after, the contradictions have not accumulated to that extent, and when he stands up, others will think that he is a crazy person who is worried about nothing. The contradiction has brewed enough, [Prerequisite Task-Historical Background-Completed], he stands up, and others will think he is a hero.

In this way, Benjamin went back to the hotel where he was staying, tidied up his things, and went out again.

He's going to see another person.

"Your Excellency Benjamin, you must not tell anyone about this meeting. ”

In the middle of nowhere, in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of nowhere, Mikel cloaked and cautiously looking around, stressed to Benjamin.

"Of course I understand everything. Benjamin smiled and nodded, "You are an official in the capital, and now the situation is so delicate, going to Riley City to meet a mage in private will indeed be used as a handle." But...... Why did Lord Lance come with him?"

After putting an end to the "Keahulaan" sect together, he had not met either of them much, but the basic connection was maintained.

Just like now, Benjamin needed help from within the government, so he brought Mikel over.

However, the fact that Knight Lance would come with him was a little surprising. Haven't these two always been at odds with each other?

"He?" said Mikel, glancing disdainfully at Lance, who was standing on the side, "after the palace changed, it didn't slip out like a lost dog. It wasn't me who helped him, he's been caught up by those guys now. ”

Lance's expression was very helpless. However, it seems that what Mikel said is true, his situation is really not good, so he resisted the desire to scold each other, closed his mouth tightly, and did not speak.

Benjamin frowned.

The palace has changed into a circle?

"What the hell has happened these days?" he asked.

"In the current royal palace, the affairs are basically handled by Her Royal Highness the Queen and the new Bishop Victor. Mikel shook his head and said, "However, Your Highness is pregnant, her health is not good, and most of the affairs have to go through the hands of that bishop, isn't this called changing the sky?"

Hearing this, Benjamin raised an eyebrow.

Controlling the government...... Although he also expected this kind of thing to happen, the church really did not shy away from doing things at all, saying that it was in control, and it was not afraid of the backlash of other officials.

"Isn't there any objection from any of you?"

Mikel nodded and said, "Of course." The bishop had mentioned a lot of outrageous things, and he was all scolded back by those old stubborns, and now he must be holding back a fire. ”

Benjamin burst out laughing.

It seems that the progress of the church in the city of Xuedi is not very ideal.

Now it seems that his series of actions are still effective, forcing out the church's big move, and slowing down their plan to control Freden a lot.

But...... The church is still the church.

"Be careful, the church must have a backhand. Thinking of this, he put away his smile and said seriously, "Standing behind Aldrich is the church, their real purpose is to control Freden, in order to make this place like the Kingdom of Hori, any means can be used." ”

Mikel nodded as well.

Lance interjected, "Don't worry about this guy. On the first day that the bishop arrived, this guy was already calling him a brother, so how could he suffer?"

When Benjamin heard this, he smiled, and suddenly said, "I have made a special trip to you today because I have a very important matter to inquire about with you. ”

"Say it. ”

Benjamin took a deep breath and asked solemnly, "How many troops are directly controlled by that bishop in Freden now?"

It's so important.

He also heard the scene at the time of the execution recount by others. It is said that the execution of those mages was carried by an army of thousands of men. And the one who pushed Aldrich into the pit with his own hands was the General Barritt who had dinner with Benjamin.

There is no doubt that this great general, who was once a close confidant of the king, has now been controlled by the church. And the garrison of the royal capital under his command is probably all under the command of the church, and it is difficult to rebel.

So...... What about the rest of the armies?

If it was all controlled by the church, Benjamin felt that there would be no need to play.

When their foundation is almost laid, and the officials and people are gradually softened, they can wave their hands and directly force and suppress the mages in the territory and start a new round of white terror. Mages are basically hard to resist. Once the mages are killed, they can slowly preach, step by step turning Freden into a new religious nation.

Therefore, military power is already the most important issue at present.

"Is the army ......" Mikel thought for a moment when he heard this, and said, "In Freden, there are six generals who hold military power. Needless to say, General Barrett was like a different person after His Majesty's death, no different from a dog that followed the Bishop. The other two generals secretly returned to Xuedi City on the day of their execution, but they were discovered by those people and are now missing. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin chuckled in his heart.

Nowhere to be found...... That is, they have been controlled by the church, or will soon be controlled by the church, and there is really no difference between the two.

Further, this meant that the church would soon be able to control half of Freden's army.

Terrible.

"What about the other three generals? I want to know everything about them. Benjamin took a deep breath and asked in an extraordinarily solemn tone.

Mikel nodded and said, "I don't know much, but...... All right. ”

Immediately afterward, he gave Benjamin the general information about the three generals. Benjamin nodded his head as he asked the system to write it all down while arranging the rest of the trip.

That's right, he was going to visit the three generals one after another.

It's not that he wants to be some kind of lobbyist and let these generals support him with their armies, and he has no intention of inciting these people to confront the church and start a civil war in Freden - Benjamin knows that he has a few pounds and a few taels, and he can't do such a thing without god-level mouth cannon ability.

The only thing he wanted to guarantee was that the three generals would not be controlled by the church.

Of course, everything has to wait until you meet someone. If given the opportunity, he would not mind fanning the flames and guiding the three generals in the direction of independent warlords. In short, he wanted to sabotage the church's plans as much as possible to buy himself more time.

What else could he do?

After all, he wanted to unite all of Freden's mages, and he had a good-good-good-so long way to go!
