"Master Benjamin, if I'm not mistaken, further ahead, is General Rest's garrison. He has always been a good general who is loyal to the monarch and patriotic. I think...... Maybe I can try to get in touch with him. β
As they approached the middle of Carretus, the king suddenly approached Benjamin and said this to him.
Benjamin was a little surprised.
"Didn't Your Majesty say that you haven't seen these generals in many years?"
The king nodded and said, "It is true, but ...... I still want to give it a try. If they believed me, you wouldn't have to be so uncomfortable now. β
Benjamin also fell into deep thought.
Indeed, if there is a general who has the power of the army to support them, they will not have to hide like they do now. But here's the point...... Thinking of the previous General Stewart, Benjamin felt a bit of a psychological shadow.
Is it possible for the Church to allow them easy access to generals at home?
He always felt that if he went, it might be another trap.
"How well does Your Majesty know about that General Rest?" asked Benjamin.
"People are very upright and should not be seduced by the church. The king replied, "His father's ancestors were also generals, and they regarded glory as their own life." When my father died, there were not many generals who supported me, but he was the only one who stood by my side because I was the eldest son. β
Benjamin heard this and nodded.
If that's the case...... Worth a try?
He asked for some information about the other party's camp, and finally, after thinking about it, he agreed to the idea.
Under the name of "state religion", the church is building churches in various cities and preaching unscrupulously, but Benjamin is completely powerless to stop itβthis state of affairs is really too embarrassing.
If there is a general who openly supports them, coupled with the villagers who have been wooed these days, and the rich businessmen in the country have contacted again, they will be able to gather the strength to confront the church head-on!
For that, he felt they could take a little risk.
In this way, Benjamin and his mages hid in a dense forest. He instructed his mages to lead the group of apprentices and wait in the dense forest, learn magic and give lectures, and don't run around. And he took the king with him to the general Rest.
It can't be helped, after all, it is a dangerous operation, and the fewer people, the better. It was impossible for Benjamin to take these dozens of apprentices who were just starting out to meet the generals.
Not only that, but the general's station is about a few kilometers away from the dense forest, and if something really happens, they can quickly support from this position.
"The plain to the east of the woods is General Rest's station. The king explained, "There are 20,000 soldiers in the garrison, and they have been trained for a long time, and if we can command, we should be able to compete with the royal guards of Glori." β
Benjamin couldn't help but ask as he flew towards the garrison with him, "Can't those royal guards be commanded with His Majesty's family emblem?"
The king shook his head and said, "The token for commanding the guards is in the palace, and I was too hasty to take it with me when I escaped." Besides, even if I had the token, the church had too many eyeliners in that area, and it would be difficult for us to get close to the royal guards. β
"Okay......"
When Benjamin heard this, he could only shake his head helplessly.
Soon, they approached the garrison camp.
It was night at the moment, and from the outside, the camp was very large, and several soldiers were in high spirits at the door, keeping an eye on everything nearby. You can also see a lot of soldiers patrolling back and forth in the camp, which is very strict.
Benjamin and the king hid behind a large rock and did not let the soldiers see it.
"We ...... Do you want to go straight to it?" asked the king.
Benjamin shook his head: "It's better not to, don't forget, we're all wanted now." The church also wrote in the notice that a man who looked very much like the king had stolen the crown and the family crest and was swaggering outside. If we go face to face, we will definitely be arrested as bandits. β
β......β
Looking at the king's expression, you can know that he was beaten by the church as a bandit who stole the crown and family emblem, and he was so angry that he died, it has been a few days, and he still has an explosive mentality when he mentions it.
However, there is not much that can be done. The official discourse power is in the hands of the opponent, and they can only do things in the people. Benjamin was used to doing that, too.
In the current situation, they must have secretly gone to see the General Rest. Benjamin had already determined this, otherwise he would not have chosen this time of night to come.
"Master Benjamin, can you sneak in with me?" the king hesitated.
"Try it. Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and said, "I didn't have much hope anyway, and I slipped away when I was discovered." Don't worry, we can fly, they can't keep us. β
β......β
The king's expression did not look at all reassured.
In this way, Benjamin first hid behind the rocks and used the water element sensing method to observe the structure of the camp. He changed several places in succession, and finally, he drew a rough map of the entire garrison camp.
Once he had drawn the map, he summoned various ice drills and began to dig tunnels.
That's right, that's how a mage can sneak in. He doesn't know stealth, and he doesn't have the silent pace of a thief, but it doesn't matter, he can dig tunnels!
For him, the best way to infiltrate is obviously to dig a tunnel that leads directly to the general's tent, safely, efficiently, and directly through to one stop. Make a wall of water vapor soundproofing, and the soldiers will not be able to detect their movements underground.
So Benjamin dug a hole in the ground and went down with the king. He used his magic to dig forward, and at the same time used the water vapor sensing method to observe where they were digging so they didn't get lost.
Seven or eight drill bits worked together, and the speed of digging was still very fast, it took about half an hour, and finally, they came to the bottom of the general's camp.
The soldiers in the camp were all normal and did not find Benjamin's tunnels. And after observing for a long time, there was no priest in ambush here, and he did not find anything related to the church in the camp.
Observing this, Benjamin also breathed a sigh of relief.
This General Lester ...... Maybe it can really be relied on?
"That's it. Thinking of this, he turned to the king and said, "Just dig a little into it, and we will meet General Lester in no time." β
The king's face looked a little bitter: "Covered in mud, I will probably ruin the glory of the royal family by me, right?"
Benjamin smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, from the moment you introduced the church, the glory of the royal family has long been ruined by you, and there is nothing to be ruined anymore." β
β...... Thank you, that's comforting. β
With that, taking a deep breath, Benjamin took control of the ice drill bit and dug up the last layer of dirt above his head. The dim light came in, and he controlled the water vapor, and carried him and the king directly into the tent.
