When Benjamin returned to Rock City, he told everyone the bad news of the fall of Regina, and at that moment, the faces of everyone in the town hall were as shocked as if they were frozen.

They took more time to come to terms with this reality than Benjamin. Obviously, as the capital of the country, Regina has taken on a symbolic meaning in the minds of these locals. The fall of the capital is like a blow to the head.

“...... We must get Regina back as soon as possible!" the Executive Prime Minister quickly spoke, "Dean Benjamin, do you know how many enemy garrisons Regina has now?"

"When it was first captured, there were very few soldiers, and there were only a few hundred soldiers defending the city. But...... The remaining tens of thousands of troops of the Hori Kingdom should all be transferred to Regina in the next few days. ”

When the prime minister heard this, he nodded and said, "Then we must act as soon as possible." ”

However, other officials have raised objections.

"How many men do we need to send to deal with that Pope? If the whole army comes out and can't take back Regina for a while, and Locke City is taken by the enemy, won't we be in an even more embarrassing situation. ”

When Benjamin heard this, he frowned: "This ...... The enemy doesn't have that many troops to do this, right?"

"No, according to our spies, the soldiers in the Kingdom of Hori have once again shown a tendency to gather. At least 30,000 more men are heading towards Ikor, and they are clearly planning to reinforce their forces. ”

This......

Hearing this news, Benjamin couldn't help but have a headache.

The strength of the Hori Kingdom is so strong that the empire that was not divided in the past can barely overwhelm it, and now the three kingdoms after the division are naturally difficult to match. In fact, if it weren't for the threat of the Silent Academy within, the Kingdom of Horry might have taken the opportunity to attack when the empire was divided ten years ago.

Now that they are hindered in their attack on Ikor, it is not surprising that they will send reinforcements. It's just that for the people of Ikor, this timing is inevitably too unlucky.

In this way, the question of retaking Regina was once again debated.

"No matter what, we have to take Regina back, even if it costs something. We've just grabbed sixty of the enemy's Holy Light cannons, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Are you going to bombard the city with cannons? Oh my God...... Have you ever wondered what the people in the city should do?"

"yes, we'd better get Regina back intact. ”

"That's so unrealistic......"

Listening to the officials' arguments, Benjamin shook his head helplessly.

In fact, their concerns are also normal. It was their capital, and if they could, they certainly didn't want to destroy every brick in the city, let alone bombard the city with the Holy Light cannon, and after the bombardment, what would they do to face the people of Ikor with it.

In a way, Grant has taken a very important "hostage", and with this "hostage" in their hands, they will become constrained in their actions.

Eventually, the president cleared his throat and ended the argument in a categorical tone.

"That's enough! We're at war, and if we fight, there will be sacrifices. He glanced around the quiet town hall and said slowly, "I'd rather the Regina be destroyed than fall into the hands of the enemy." The people of Ikor will forgive us, we are fighting for this country. ”

As the former president of the Mage Guild, the founder of Ikor and the founder of the New Deal system, his identity is actually more important than any official present. Although a system of mutual oversight has been established, the chairman actually governs the country together with the executive prime minister.

Therefore, after he spoke, no one finally opened his mouth to refute it.

"That's it, let's set off immediately, a small number of mages will stay in Rock City, and use the rune defense array to defend. The rest of the people are going to take part in this attack, and they are bound to retake Regina!" The guild leader nodded and gave the final order.

Benjamin also returned to his room, preparing to retake the Regina affair.

To be honest, everything happened so quickly, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart. But...... He agreed with the president's decision, and since time was of the essence, they really couldn't afford to waste it any longer.

In addition, if they are to recapture Regina, he will have to face Grant again.

Benjamin's mental power has not fully recovered and he can't start the "Water Coming", and he can't hold Grant for long. Therefore, he felt that he had to find some help.

"You've fought Grant more than I do, and in your opinion, how many mages do we need to work together to hold him down?" he asked, finding Miles.

"This ...... It's not that you don't know my situation, he usually just dodges when he fights me, and he never wastes his mental energy to hit me with magic skills. Miles scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "However, I think I can hold him back for a while even if I am alone." ”

Benjamin asked again, "Then is there anything you can do to hit him as hard as you did last time?"

"It depends on whether you can create opportunities for me, and it also depends on how vigilant the other party is. Miles looked helpless and said, "He's got a strange suit of armor, and he doesn't know how many times he's blocked my attacks." If he's wearing that thing the whole time, it's hard for me to really hurt him. ”

Once again, Benjamin felt deeply troubled.

Grant's individual strength is indeed terrifying, and they must be prepared for it, otherwise the attack may turn into a send-off. In addition to the Holy Light Cannon, which is a big killer weapon, he considered for a moment and selected ten of the top mages from Rock City, plus him and Miles, to form a team.

They named the team "The Lightkillers".

...... Well, it's not them, it's the system that pops up and rightfully calls them by that name. Benjamin was bombarded by the system for a long time, and one mouth leaked out, and the others gladly accepted the name.

"I love the name. Joanna said, "I used to work hard in Freden under the name of 'a' mercenary group, and I also wanted to have a normal name." ”

Of the mages who joined the Lightkillers, only four were from the Academy of Magic, and the others were native old mages from Ikor. In fact, the age composition of the entire team is very high, except for Benjamin and Joanna, the other nine are at least forty years old.

"I'm Master Hunter, I've lived for almost sixty years, I've been skilled in wind magic, and I've lived in seclusion in the mountains to the west. ”

"Hehe, I'm almost eighty years old, you can call me Margaret. As for dark magic, this old woman of mine has a bit of experience, and the most hated thing in my life is to teach those false guys. ”

"My name is Carell, and I've been studying water magic for forty years......"

Time was running out, and by the afternoon the army that had recaptured Regina had already set out of Rock City, and Benjamin hastily gathered the group, and could only go on the road with the group, getting acquainted with each other on the way, and at the same time began to practice how to cooperate with Grant.

Although they are a group of grandparents, because of Benjamin's identity, their attitude is still extremely humble. Everyone had kind smiles on their faces, but Benjamin could see behind those smiles the heavy determination.

Fight the Pope...... It's not a simple matter.

Benjamin could only try to recall every detail of his battle with Grant and make a plan to make the team known as the Lightkillers truly have the abilities of its name.
