Chapter 859: Diverting Attention
“...... Haven't found it yet?"
At this moment, in Koster's government hall, there is a dead silence like a frozen lake. Grant asked, standing above and staring coldly at the silent crowd below.
Among the people below, there were priests, paladins and local officials, but all of them just lowered their heads, and none of them dared to make a sound.
"Tell me how much time it will take you to find people. Grant sounded calm, but it made everyone below tremble in their hearts.
"Your Majesty, this kind of thing...... In a hurry. The priest at the front could only bite the bullet and say, "We have sealed the whole city, and he will definitely not be able to escape." Besides, if we only need five people to burn it, he will one day not be able to bear to escape. ”
Grant didn't speak, staring at the priest with a blank face.
"Your Majesty......" a cold sweat began to break out on the priest's forehead.
"If he is very good at hiding, what about the king, why haven't you even found the king in a city?" said Grant.
"This ...... His Majesty must have been taken by him and taken to a corner in disguise. The priest quickly explained, "Your Majesty, don't be impatient, we'...... We'll definitely find it. ”
"Sure, if they're not in Koster at all, if they've already escaped?" asked Grant at once, "What do you say for sure?"
"We have exact information, they are indeed in Kost. The priest bowed his head and said, "Besides...... Moreover, it was also read from the memories of those rebels, and that man had taken over with them last night. ”
Hearing this, Grant snorted coldly and did not question any further.
But at this moment, the door of the government hall was suddenly pushed open, and several paladins hurriedly ran in, stopped in front of Grant, and fell to one knee.
"His Majesty the Pope and the Pope, the latest news ......"
Grant frowned: "What news?"
"In the three towns to the north, the local churches have been attacked one after another, and the priest stationed there has not been spared!" the paladin's voice trembled slightly, "and ...... According to the description of local residents, someone saw a figure flying in the sky at the time of the murder, as well as ...... and that every victim mage was frozen to death by magic. ”
“......”
The whole hall fell silent for this moment.
The priest, who had just had the courage to speak, was frozen in place like a thunderbolt, and the robe on his back was wet with cold sweat.
Silence, silence for a long time, no one dared to look at the mouth, let alone look up at Grant's expression.
“...... That's what you mean by 'sure'?" I don't know how long it took for Grant's voice to float above their heads, and to hear it in the priest's ears, there was an out-of-body feeling.
"Your Majesty, I ...... I ......"
He spoke tremblingly, but his mind was blank, and he couldn't explain anything.
The next second, screams came from the government halls. The guard outside the door shuddered when he heard this, and quickly stood up straight, not daring to look inside.
At the same time, Benjamin had just left the fifth church.
"I, my God...... Father, what the hell is going on?" exclaimed from the town below, but he flew in the air, not paying attention, just flying higher and higher with the king and his two siblings, towards the next target city.
In just an hour and a half, more than ten priests had already died at his hands.
The two siblings and the king were a little shocked, and now they followed Benjamin, and their eyes revealed a little awe. It's not that they're really scared, it's just that Benjamin's usual easy-going behavior is in stark contrast to the moment.
The King, in particular, was actually the first time he had seen Benjamin fight. Those priests were like paper figures, holding in front of him for less than half a second, and in an instant they turned into ice sculptures, and his expression was similar to that of an ant that had just been trampled to death.
...... No, if he accidentally stepped on an ant, he seemed to frown, but in the face of the priest, it really didn't blink his eyes much.
The king had heard a lot about Benjamin, but it was only then that he realized why the church, which had always been fearless, kept his name so secret.
“...... Master Benjamin, are you going to wash all the churches in blood?" the king asked.
"What? no, how is that possible?" Benjamin turned his head and shrugged, "even if I wanted to, the church wouldn't be able to let me do it." After three more slaughters, I'm ready to stop. ”
Compared to the beginning, his tone was much more relaxed, probably because he had killed so many people, and his anger had almost been vented. The king listened from behind, and also felt that the familiar Benjamin was back, and the pressure in his heart was reduced a lot.
It's just that...... Payback?
The king felt like it made sense, but there was something strange about it.
"Those priests don't seem to be very strong, but they can actually go their separate ways, and we can also get a few churches. The girl came back to her senses, and said with a little itchy hands.
Benjamin shook his head.
"If you make a move, the clues will be messed up. He spoke slowly, "If you want to lure Grant over, you have to make it clear to him that I did all this, and that my next city may be such and such a location." ”
“...... All right. ”
In fact, two hours ago, Benjamin stood outside Koster and calmed down, and quickly realized that his only choice was that.
It is impossible for him to rush in to save people and fall right into the hands of the enemy. At that point in time, the only advantage he had had had was a misunderstanding from the church, which thought he was also trapped in the city and wanted to force him out, so they concentrated most of their forces on Koster, defenseless elsewhere.
And that gave him a chance.
If you kill my people, then I will kill your people, and at the same time, I can divert the attention of the church while venting my anger. He wasn't sure if he would be able to save the people of the Nightmare Society, but at least...... You can rescue the remaining members who are not caught.
"Lord Dean, they're starting to stop the hunt!" "The lockdown hasn't been lifted yet, but there's news that the Church's forces have left Koster and are heading north. ”
Hearing this, Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief.
“...... It's a pity that the remaining three can't be slaughtered. ”
He stopped suddenly, took the king and his two siblings and began to land, and soon took refuge in the woods below. In the dark night, the woods were silent, and several people hid inside, doing nothing but waiting patiently.
About half an hour later, a large group of priests suddenly appeared in the sky.
