Chapter 495: The Last Pride

When General Lester woke up, he felt like his bones were falling apart.

Wet, as if someone had splashed a basin of water, there was no place on his body that didn't hurt...... However, when he opened his eyes in a daze, he realized that these so-called pains were not pain at all.

In front of them, there were the ten mages, the impostor kings, and their leaders.

The men were staring at him with a ...... in their eyes I can't even have anything to do with friendliness.

Suddenly, Lester struggled hard. However, he found that his hands and feet were firmly bound by hemp rope, and it was difficult to even move his body, let alone escape.

Only then did he recall the situation before he fainted.

The eerie dark shadow trapped him, and he became a hostage to the wanted criminals. In order to save him, his soldiers offered to exchange them for wanted criminals. And then...... Then, he was directly stunned by the black shadow.

Why was he in this strange house, where even the most difficult mage leader of the bandits appeared in front of him?

"General Rest, you're finally awake. Benjamin said with a smile, and to his ears it sounded like a whisper from a demon.

"You...... What do you want to do?" he could only speak angrily, his voice hoarse as if he could cough up blood.

"We don't want to do anything, we just want to convey something very important to you. Benjamin put away his smile and said calmly, "Ikor has just sent troops to break through the border of Carretus. The war began. ”

"What? ...... you"

Lester was shocked.

However, recovering from the initial shock, he immediately realized that the abominable mage must have lied to him again.

Although he was not stationed at the border, he knew the situation there. With nearly 80,000 troops and a dangerous terrain, how could it be easily breached?

Therefore, he said coldly: "Enough, you can even make up this kind of lie, you ......"

Benjamin interrupted him directly.

"Don't believe me, do you? Okay, come with me. ”

Before General Lester could react, he saw Benjamin beckon, and a strong hot and humid air flow swept in. At that moment, the window of the room flew open, and the air currents blew him out of the window and rolled him directly into the sky.

“...... What are you going to do?"

Flying in mid-air, everything on the ground quickly faded away, and the sound of the wind whistling in my ears was heard. Lester asked, stunned, a little frightened.

He had never been able before.

Benjamin, however, flew ahead, turned around, and replied nonchalantly, "Take you up to heaven and let you see if Ikor's army has come in." ”

Leist's eyes widened, speechless.

He had always believed in the official letter sent by Glori. The legitimacy of the royal family cannot be questioned, and the bandits appear and steal the crown and insignia, and His Majesty must be very annoyed at the moment. How could he be deceived by the bandits, but only add trouble to His Majesty?

Therefore, in his eyes, Benjamin's gang is a group of bandits who are skilled in deception.

But when the king stood at the entrance of the village and counted his family by name, his thoughts began to waver. As for His Majesty's appearance, after many years, he doesn't remember it very clearly, but that feeling ...... Lester is somewhat familiar.

Soon, however, he blamed the familiarity on the other party's deception. It's not difficult to imitate a person, as long as you read enough books, you can also learn about the origins of the royal family and your own family, which doesn't mean much.

As a result, he was ashamed of his vacillation, and his hatred for the bandits grew stronger.

However, now......

Not to mention the impact of the flight on him, seeing that the other party was so sure, Lester couldn't help but doubt, could it be that what they said was true?

If it's true...... He didn't dare to think about it.

The mountains and rivers of Carretus hurried past him. Lester looked down, his mind was in disarray.

He fell into a deathly silence.

Benjamin was also silent, not in the slightest sense of speaking. The two of them flew to the east in the middle of the sky, against the afterglow of the setting sun.

This silence lasted for more than five hours.

"Look, these are refugees who have fled the border. Benjamin spoke suddenly, waking Lester from his silence. When he came back to his senses, he found that they had fallen to the ground, and that it was night, and the hemp rope that bound him had long since disappeared.

He moved his limbs in amazement, then looked ahead.

I saw that on the road ahead, many people were pushing carts with luggage on their backs, and some people were sitting in carriages and hurrying in their direction. They looked very tired, carrying the child on their backs, pulling their wives, and their bitter faces seemed to be covered with a layer of dust, as if they had been walking for a long time, but something drove them to continue on their journey.

At that moment, Lester was also stunned.

"What are you doing in a daze? Find someone to ask. Benjamin's voice came from behind him, "Go and ask if we're lying to you." ”

Lester came to his senses, clenched his fists, and swallowed.

He glanced at Benjamin, then walked forward, grabbing a pedestrian on his way.

"You ...... Where are you going?"

The pedestrian seemed startled, and looked at Lester twice before he spoke, "Where are you going......? What are you still doing standing here? Why don't you run!

With that, the pedestrian broke free from Rest's grasp, dragged his heavy luggage, and continued on his way.

Lester just stood still.

Perhaps he was stunned for too long, and Benjamin had to come up to him and say to him, "You should be aware of it, right? When Ikorl invaded the country with a large army, you surrounded your own village with an army that did not belong to you, because of a personal vendetta. ”

"I ...... Not for personal vendettas. ”

"Really?" said Benjamin, chuckling, "you ask yourself, that surrounding the village with men has nothing to do with me sneaking into your tent that day?"

Lester fell silent again.

Benjamin continued, "So...... What exactly is your loyalty? is it the belief that you want to defend this country, or is it an excuse that you use to whitewash yourself?"

"I ......"

Benjamin shook his head.

"General Rest, you really don't deserve the glory your father earned. ”

"That's enough!" Finally, Reist couldn't take it anymore and began, "I'm going to Glori." I'm going to go to His Majesty, and when I see Your Majesty, everything will be clear. ”

"Stupid. If you get into Glory, do you think you'll still be able to get out?"

"What if I can't get out, I'm going to use my own eyes to determine which one is the real Majesty. ”

"Really?" said Benjamin, sneering, "what if what I said is true? What if the palace is a false king? You will be left in the palace and controlled by the church by some means. So, the vows you once made were trampled under your feet like mud. You will serve the church, you will serve the false king, and the real king will be in danger of life and death because of your stubbornness and stupidity. ”

"I ...... No, it won't. ”

"How do you guarantee it?"

Lester took a deep breath, suddenly took off the token from his waist, and threw it to Benjamin vigorously.

"This is a token of commanding the army, and I will write you another handwritten letter. In five days, if I haven't shown up, you can use them to command my army. ”

Benjamin took the token and couldn't help frowning.

"Then you ......"

"Don't worry. Lester lifted his chin with a stubborn and proud look, "If Glory's Majesty is a fake, I'll die before they control me." ”
