Chapter 417: Inducing the Rebels
The leader of the rebel army was stunned. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"You...... Who the hell are you?"
Probably he never imagined that in the middle of their killing, a god-like creature would jump out halfway, subdue everyone with a single magic, and then run in front of them to say such things.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters, what do you want?" said Benjamin, smiling, "I ask you, do you really hate Stewart?"
The rebel had an inexplicable expression, but after hesitation, he nodded.
"In that case, don't do it like you are now. Benjamin patted the other party's shoulder trapped in the ice and said, "As a weak person, you must take advantage of all favorable conditions as much as possible, take them by surprise, and use all kinds of means to exhaust the enemy." What you are doing now will be of no use except to vent a little emotion in your heart, and will lead you to death. β
β......β
The surrounding rebels were stunned.
W-What is this mage doing?
Could it be ...... Was he teaching them how to rebel?
The gang is completely confused.
"Master Mage, otherwise...... Why don't you let us out first?, what do you have to say, we're all listening here!" The leader looked confused, but at the same time, he also saw hope for life. Benjamin was obviously not a member of the newly established Mage Guild, otherwise he wouldn't have talked so much nonsense with them, and he would have just killed them.
Freed from the despair of death, they felt a little bit of happiness while being confused.
Benjamin, however, shook his head and let out a cold snort.
"If you want to study, put on a posture of learning, what do you want to do with so many requests?" he suddenly condensed an ice ruler, snapped, and hit the rebel army's palm, and said as he hit, "I'm doing this for your good." If I don't show up, you'll all die fast, and you'll be worthless. β
The leader of the rebel army was caught off guard and almost screamed.
Benjamin, though, is clearly the one who has the upper hand and does whatever he wants. Therefore, he didn't dare to complain, so he could only curl up his palms and nod tremblingly.
But in the heart......
The leader is crying without tears at this moment.
He is also the leader of the rebels, even if he is not very powerful, he is also a tough guy on weekdays, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, otherwise he will not resist. As a result, today, he met such a mage, how did he become so cowardly?
However, not only him, but the lives of the entire team were firmly held in the hands of the other party and played with at will. Therefore, he seems to have no other way but to admit it.
At least...... The other party didn't seem to really want to kill them.
"What do you want, Master?" he asked, taking a deep breath.
Benjamin coldly swept them around, and said, "Do you realize? In less than five days, Stewart's army will come and kill you." β
Suddenly, everyone was stunned again.
β...... Are you telling the truth?"
"Why should I lie to you? You didn't lock down the whole town when you appeared, and now that someone in the town has escaped, the news will soon reach Shelly City. Benjamin said slowly, "Especially since you still want to kill the mayor." After killing the mayor, even if the matter is big, the upper authorities will definitely send people over as quickly as possible. β
The leader was silent for a moment, and then said, "We will flee to Caritus." β
Benjamin replied coldly, "They can also send mages and assassins to finish you off, unless you are incognito and can run as far as you can." But...... If you really just run away, what's the point of you rebelling now?"
"I ...... I do not know. β
"What can be done to influence Stewart's position? What can be done to leave a way out for yourself? How can you make your team grow rapidly? Have you thought about these questions as the leader of these people?"
β...... I didn't think about it. β
"Okay, well, that's the end of your life, or you'll die at the hands of the army, and your corpses will be hung at the gates of the city for anyone to see, or you'll run around with your head in your arms, and you'll never be near Freden again for the rest of your life." Are you willing to do this for the rest of your life?"
"We ...... Unwilling. β
"Good. Benjamin finally smiled again, "You haven't reached the point where you can't be helped, seize the opportunity, maybe you can bite off Stewart's flesh." β
Hearing this, the rebel leader was also a little stunned.
"What chance?"
Benjamin approached him and whispered, "You can take control of the town, and then force the mayor to write a letter to the city before the news reaches the city, saying that there are bandits in the town." β
"Mountain, bandit?"
Benjamin nodded, and continued, "Isn't there a hill to the west? As long as the mayor of the town says that he is a bandit, the above will not pay much attention to it, and send an army of 800 people to the sky. And in that valley, gunpowder, falling rocks, traps...... You don't need me to teach you what to do, do you?"
Listening to Benjamin's words, the leader was stunned.
At that moment, it was as if a bolt of lightning flashed through his head.
"That...... Can we ambush the army?" he asked, somewhat incoherently.
"Why not?" said Benjamin, shrugging his shoulders, "the army is not as strong as you think, and with enough preparation, they are no different from the soldiers in this town who have been tied up by you." β
Hearing this, the leader fell silent.
I don't know how long he was silent, but suddenly, he took a deep breath and swallowed as if determined. The expression on his face also changed again and again, from fear at first, to confusion later, and finally, to thinking like he had found his way now.
He even looked like he had forgotten that he was still trapped by Benjamin and in danger, and instead began to think about one thing with all his heart.
Seeing this, Benjamin also showed a satisfied smile.
The [Leader Who Induces the Rebellion] mission has been completed!At this moment, the other party is already thinking about how to ambush the army sent by Xuedi City.
Interesting.
Benjamin was still a little angry about being used by Stewart and the Prime Minister, and it was only because there was a church waiting for them to exterminate that they were ready to leave Fredon and not worry about Stewart.
But...... He doesn't care, but he can be helped by others.
These rebels were originally a swarm of headless flies. If Benjamin doesn't do anything, they're not far from death. In that case, why not cause a little more trouble for Stewart?
He didn't expect these men to really turn Stewart downβit would be enough to make the guy who had deceived him suffer a little more. Of course, if this group of people suddenly opened up after his order, what kind of climate did it really become, Benjamin would naturally not be a big deal to see the excitement.
In short, he just sowed some seeds before leaving Freden. Of course, it's best to be able to sprout, and even if it can't, it won't waste any of his work, will it?
Thinking so, Benjamin glanced at the people around him again. At this moment, the people are hiding in their homes and watching, and they can't hear what they are saying. Therefore, they will not have much impact on Benjamin or the rebels.
However, looking at the next scene, people's expressions were still very confused.
- At that moment, they were stunned, and they could only see Benjamin suddenly clapping his hands, and all the ice melted in an instant, disappearing without a trace.
Not long after the rebels were brought under control, they were released again.
However, to the confusion of the onlookers, the attitude of the rebels towards the mage had changed dramatically after they regained their freedom. Not fear, no longer hostile, but a trembling respect.
Everyone was puzzled. The soldier who was tied up on the street corner was even more jaw dropping to the ground, not knowing what was happening.
Only the mages who lived in the inn opened the curtains to watch the scene, and smiled knowingly.
"Lord Benjamin's hobby...... It's really special. Tony shook his head helplessly and sighed.
