Chapter 537: The Truth Over and Over Again

By the end of the night, the troops stationed in Amber City and Glory had already been dispatched to the Ikor Occupation Zone.

The Queen's death was confirmed, and the main war faction among the officials immediately became the majority. With the consent of almost everyone, the army marched out in great force to regain the occupied territory.

In addition, they will also take advantage of the situation to send troops to Ikor .

The current opportunity is rare, and the king, as the queen's brother, is naturally qualified to take over Ikor after the queen's death. However, whoever kills the queen is certainly not aiming to give up Ikor away, so the king must take a tough stance and strike first.

The officials had all figured out the reason for the expedition - the Church murdered the queen, and the queen entrusted the throne to her brother when she was dying. Therefore, the king took advantage of the fact that the church had not completely destroyed Ikor and sent troops to take it over.

It's actually quite cheeky to put it, and it's no different from reversing black and white, but ...... At that time, there were only four of them negotiating, and now that the queen is dead, the queen's bodyguard mage should also have died under the effect of the potion, so only the king and Benjamin are present.

- As long as the two of them say that the queen entrusted the throne to the king when she was dying, no one else is in a position to refute it.

Of course, all this can be established on the premise that they can control Ikor by force. If someone preemptively occupies Regina, then even if everyone in the world believes in Queen Tuogu, the king will have to work hard to include Ikor in the territory.

That's why they're sending so many troops at this moment.

"The head of the Mage's Guild, will he really help us?" the king asked, looking at the back of the departing army, turning his head to Benjamin, with some hesitation.

"It probably would. Benjamin wasn't sure, but replied, "He helped me escape from the Queen." Besides, it would be a good thing for Ikor if he could be mastered by His Majesty. ”

"Yes......" the king said with some humility, "but before the empire was divided, he, as the former head of the Mage Guild, didn't seem to think very much about me. Every time my father invited him to the palace, he had to drink with him and count my shortcomings. When I was young and ignorant, I even drew on his clothes. ”

“......”

Benjamin was speechless for a moment.

Sure enough, the debt I owed when I was a child will have to be repaid one day. It is no wonder that the president chose to help the queen in the event of a split rather than support the eldest son, who inherited the orthodoxy.

- Who wants to help a bear child?

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much, it's all old, and I don't think the president looks like an accountant. But Benjamin reassured, "I'll try to persuade him." ”

“...... Then please. ”

After leaving the palace, Benjamin did not rush to leave Glori, but stayed in Glori's mage quarter, patiently waiting for the feedback of the news.

He was waiting for news from the president of the Mage Guild.

At this moment, Benjamin also wanted to fly directly to the territory of Ikor to meet the president. It's just that it's too reckless to do so, and it's unclear what Ikor is doing, and if the church people have already pushed him through, he will only be asking for trouble if he goes in.

Plus, Miles hasn't returned yet. The king lost his bodyguards and the army was outstretched, feeling insecure, so he asked Benjamin to stay at Glory to protect him. Benjamin had no choice but to stay temporarily.

Stay, stay, for now, he doesn't need to run around like he used to do for the time being.

Therefore, he stayed in his room and meditated patiently for news.

According to his estimates, the fastest will come to the front. Ikor has begun to secretly withdraw his troops, and it will certainly not take much time to regain the lost territory. They waited here for four or five days, and the whole of Carretus would be as good as ever.

However, what he didn't expect was that the president of the Mage Guild actually came with news the next afternoon.

"Hello...... Excuse me, where's Gen Benjamin?"

It wasn't the news from the sound transmission woodpiece, nor the mage under Bian Mocheng, but a completely strange young man. Like a traveler entering Glory for the first time, he looked around blankly, asking for directions, and finally asked Benjamin about the downstairs of Glory's house.

Benjamin opened the door and looked at the stranger, and couldn't help but frown.

It's a mage.

"I'm Master Benjamin, what's the matter with you?"

When the other party heard this, he showed a relieved expression and said, "Great, I have finally found Your Excellency!" My name is Huck, I am from Ikor, and I am a new student of the President of the Mage Guild. The teacher has a letter for me to hand over to you. ”

As he spoke, he took a sealed letter from his pocket and handed it to Benjamin.

Benjamin had some doubts in his mind.

This...... That president actually sent a mage directly to deliver a letter to him?

It's only been three days since he sent a message to Morris. No matter how fast Morris moved and Mage Finch cooperated, the speed of the message delivery was really a little unexpected for him.

"You flew all the way?"

The other party replied, "Because the situation seems to be urgent, the teacher told me to deliver the letter to Your Excellency as quickly as possible." I'm good at wind magic, and I flew here for a day and a night. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin nodded, and couldn't help but ask again: "You...... Didn't you drink that potion?"

"I didn't. The other party also seemed to understand the inside story, and said in a low voice, "The teacher told me about the Mage Guild, so I haven't really joined, and being accepted as a student is also confidential." ”

No wonder......

Benjamin nodded and asked no more.

He opened the envelope in his hand directly.

The fact that the president was able to send his closed students directly to deliver the letter showed that he had good faith in Benjamin and their cooperation. And perhaps...... Perhaps Ikor is in a very chaotic situation right now, and the president also needs the help of Benjamin and the king.

In short, the other party attaches great importance to it, which is a good sign.

However, as soon as he opened the letter and looked at it twice, Benjamin's face changed again.

What the letter says...... Is it true?" he asked with a frown, suddenly looking at the student mage.

"I don't know. The master was a little confused, "The teacher just asked me to send the letter, and I don't know what is written on the letter." But the teacher said that the content of this letter will be very important to you, so I must send it quickly, otherwise I may not be able to catch up. ”

Benjamin took a deep breath.

After pondering for a moment, he came back to his senses and said, "You go to the person in charge of the mage area here and report my name." They'll find you a place to come all the way and get some rest. I have an urgent matter, so I will not accompany me for the time being. ”

The mage's expression was still a little confused, and he didn't quite react to what was going on. But when he came to his senses, Benjamin had already swooped out and disappeared into the sky in the direction of the palace.

Three minutes later.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty! Important news from Ikor that this is all a trap!"

The king was suddenly awakened from his desk, startled, looked at Benjamin in some confusion, and said, "How...... What's wrong? What's the news?"

"It's a letter from the head of Ikor's Mage Guild. Benjamin flew in from outside the door and said with a solemn face, "The letter says that the queen has faked her death with a potion, and nine times out of ten she has infiltrated the vicinity of Glory with a large group of mages. And her real goal is the underground of the palace. ”
