Chapter 481: Run
Benjamin stayed in the tent with the king, and he could hear the quiet camp outside, which instantly became commotionous. Thousands of soldiers stepped forward, and the sound of footsteps came like a tidal wave.
“...... What should I do?" the king panicked, and it was clear that the situation had gone beyond his imagination.
Benjamin was composure — accidents happened from time to time, and he got used to it.
"Run. He shook his head and said helplessly.
A large amount of water vapor was summoned by Benjamin, and a gust of wind swept the camp upside down, exposing Benjamin and the others to this night sky. The soldiers in the entire camp had just gathered, and they couldn't help but move when they looked at the overturned tents.
At that moment, General Lester covered his bleeding wound and looked at Benjamin with some stunned eyes
Benjamin glanced at him, a slight disappointment in his eyes. He didn't say anything, and in the blink of an eye he took the king and rose into the air.
"No! They're going to run!" General Lester was stunned for a moment, but when he came back to his senses, he immediately shouted loudly, "What about the musket battalion? This is a bandit wanted by the whole country, don't let them run!"
I really thought I could keep them......
Benjamin shook his head.
In the camp below, a number of soldiers held a strange special firearm and aimed it at the two in the sky. Benjamin waved his hand, and the frenzied water vapor blew through, blowing so that the soldiers couldn't even open their eyes, and naturally they couldn't talk about aiming.
A burst of gunfire passed, and only a few rounds were aimed. Benjamin summoned a wall of ice and easily blocked them.
"You are the soldiers of Caritus, why do you want to attack your majesty?"
Benjamin looked at the somewhat cluttered camp below, suddenly spoke, and asked in a loud voice.
The soldiers were stunned.
"Don't be deceived by them, they are bandits who stole the crown and want to pretend to be His Majesty the King!" General Lester also spoke immediately, and he didn't know what he had eaten, but he was obviously injured but still full of anger, and his voice was very loud.
Under his command, the soldiers immediately began another round of shooting at the two in the air.
Seeing this, Benjamin also knew that it was useless to say anything, so he summoned a large cloud of water vapor and blew it towards the soldiers on the ground. At the same time, he took the king with him and flew west without looking back.
"Someday, you'll regret that you almost ruined Caritus. ”
Throwing off such a sentence, he kept speeding up, took the king, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
The soldiers lost their target, and for a moment they couldn't help but look at each other.
"General, general, are you alright?" someone asked hesitantly as he walked over to General Lester.
"It's okay, bring me the doctor. The general shook his head, and his voice seemed to be holding back a ball of anger, "Send someone to Glory and inform Your Majesty of all this." These two guys...... Their ambitions are terrifying. ”
The soldier was stunned, nodded, and turned to leave.
Under the dark night sky, the garrison camp finally slowly regained its calm after a short period of noise.
And at the other end of the night.
"How can this be? I personally appointed him as a general in the first place, and in the past few years, he can't even recognize me?"
Flying back to safety, Benjamin and the two landed. The king was clearly dissatisfied with General Rest's performance.
Benjamin didn't say anything about it, just said, "Hmm...... Let's pat the dirt off your face first. ”
To tell the truth, the king already had a passerby's face, and then they dug a tunnel to enter, and they couldn't help but look a little embarrassed. I haven't seen each other up close for several years, and I really can't blame anyone for not being able to recognize it.
In a word...... The idea of a joint garrison was basically a failure.
Not only that, but the other party will definitely report their news. So the church was able to determine their position, and the great army must have been sent at once.
They're going to have to change course.
Soon, Benjamin and the king returned to the woods to join the mages and apprentices. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, they hurried out and headed north, intending to leave the area before the large army of the church arrived.
And where they are at the moment, further north...... That's the heart of Carites.
"Is this really possible?" Tony couldn't help but say with some concern as he hurried through the night, "If we go further ahead, we will probably walk back to Glory." ”
"The most dangerous place is the safest place. Benjamin replied, "Besides, we can't stay in those corners all the time, and there are some villages around there." ”
What's more, they can't let the people in the church feel the pattern.
It's like playing hide and seek, where the enemy is guessing where they're going next, and they can only play as far as they can if they don't follow the routine.
"But if the people from the church were sent from Glory, we'd run into them directly if we went that way, wouldn't we?" asked Tony again.
Benjamin nodded as well.
"Of course. Still, we can ambush them. He said, "We will hide from the large troops, and we will kill them by surprise." ”
After all, they can sense nearby movements in advance, and they still have a head start on this kind of thing.
Besides, it's time for them to fight back.
Benjamin didn't know exactly how many people the church had in Carretus, but in the end, they were going to get rid of all of them. So why don't they start now?
In this way, Benjamin changed course again and took it towards the center of Carretus.
Along the way, they will still walk into the villages, as before, to win the hearts and minds of the people, looking for talents with magical talents. Some villages are small and don't have the church's eyeliner in them, so everything went well. Some of the villages were bigger, and some of the guys Benjamin didn't feel quite right, they would go around carefully.
And in the process, they also encountered the team sent by the church.
"Be careful, this team is ...... All priests. Hiding in the cave with his men, Benjamin told everything he sensed, "There are about three or four hundred people, and they are all combat-ready, not the kind of people who paddle water." ”
When the mages and apprentices heard this, they also showed vigilant expressions.
"Shall we do it?" asked Joanna.
Benjamin shook his head: "Of course not, how many people are there on our side?"
If these apprentices were proficient in low-level magic, he would be able to compete with his opponents. It's just that...... How long have these people learned magic? It's good to be able to use low-level magic.
With this kind of small force, you just can't expect too much.
"Let's leave when they're gone. Therefore, he gave such an order.
The next morning, however, Benjamin found that the group of priests did not seem to have any intention of leaving anytime soon.
