Just as Benjamin had expected, the Church's army was dispatched, and the remaining defenses in Grove were already weak. Hundreds of paladins stood at the gates of the city at a loss, not knowing what to do. Dozens of priests just popped up, glanced at Benjamin from a distance, turned around and ran.

And when the ice blades fell overwhelmingly, the paladins guarding near the city gate had no ability to resist at all.

After a few waves, these paladins were almost dead. The priest had no intention of fighting, and began to flee with his shield on his head.

They didn't run away too fast, but Benjamin didn't bother to chase them. After killing a few, he landed at the gates of the city, pulled the wheel, and opened Glori's gates.

"What's going on? Finally open the door?"

With the hum of the door opening, the people of Grove took to the streets, looking out with stunned expressions.

Outside the door, the king, wearing a crown and a robe, walked in slowly.

Benjamin flew down from the city, landed on the entrance street of Glory, saluted the king, and said slowly: "Welcome back Your Majesty." ”

Seeing such a scene, the people of Glory would have been fools if they didn't know what was happening. They rushed in the direction of the king, with different expressions of excitement on their faces, and saluted.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are finally back!"

Sealed in Glori, the people here gradually fell into a kind of panic.

News from outside barely came in, and it was not known where Ikor had hit. What's more, rumors of the real and false kings are rampant, but the "king" in the palace has not appeared for a long time. A group of paladins and priests who ran out of nowhere, in the name of the "state religion", trampled on everyone's heads.

Hidden, rebellious, protesting...... The people of Gloria did it in different ways, but in the end, all efforts were still suppressed by the church, and they didn't want to take a step out of the city.

Therefore, when they saw that the paladins of unknown origin were killed, the gates opened, and the king reappeared before them, they were very excited.

Once upon a time...... Is it finally coming to an end?

"Rise up, all of you, I have let you down in my absence from Glori. The king nodded, made a gesture to the crowd, and said slowly, "From now on, I will return to the palace, and the gates of Glory will no longer be closed." ”

People stood up. Many people looked at the king with expressions like they were dreaming, and they still seemed to be a little incredulous.

The king did not say anything more, but, accompanied by Benjamin, began to walk towards the palace.

The crowd automatically split a road and watched the king pass. More people also took to the streets, most of them didn't even know what was happening, but the king, who watched slowly walking towards the palace, gradually understood at that moment.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, he's back?"

"yes, let me tell you, that mage is amazing. As soon as he made a move, the priests all ran away. Your Majesty just said that since he has returned, the city gate can also be opened!"

There were so many people in Gloria that not many people knew what was going on, but word of mouth spread that the news of the king's return would soon spread throughout the capital.

And the king walked down the street to the palace, like a ritual.

As usual, he should have sat in an ornate carriage, or rode a horse, followed by a large retinue, and walked through the streets of Glori. Now, however, he just walked with Benjamin with a smile on his face and nodded to the pedestrians on either side from time to time.

The people of Glory were amazed.

They found that the familiar face, His Majesty had become different from before.

Of course, there were also people who jumped out to make trouble, saying that the king was also fake, and there were assassins hidden in the crowd who suddenly rushed out and wanted to assassinate the king. But with Benjamin's induction, none of this is a problem.

Before the Assassin could get closer, he was frozen into an ice sculpture by a cloud of ice mist, which shattered to the ground. The troublemakers were pulled out by him and thrown into the crowd to let the people solve their own problems.

- In this case, the only ones who will jump out and go against the other are the pawns left by the church.

I have to say that these chess pieces are much bolder than the priest, and they may not have any burden, and they will die voluntarily, and they also want to try to see if they can prevent the return of the king.

But...... At this moment, there is no one to stop them.

It was not a long walk from the city gate to the palace, but the king walked for nearly an hour. Benjamin knew that he must have had a sore back and legs, but on his face, he didn't show any timidity.

Coming to the palace, the once magnificent buildings now look cold and depressed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... You're finally back. ”

An old man, who was probably a butler, stood at the door of the palace, led less than ten servants, bowed to the king, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said in a slightly trembling voice.

"yes, I'm finally back. The king nodded, with a look of emotion, and said, "What about the others? Why are you the only one here?"

"They...... They could not stand the bullying of the church, and when there was a riot in the city, they took the opportunity to escape from the palace. After the fake king was assassinated, a group of them ran away, and now in the palace, there are only a few of us left. ”

When the king heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Good work. He lifted the butler up and said, "I will keep in mind your loyalty to the royal family." ”

The palace in front of them has been abandoned a lot, and they will definitely have to work a lot more to restore it to its former state. However, the servants looked at the king with hopeful eyes.

His Majesty was a very docile man, and he rarely criticized his servants. And now...... His Majesty still seems approachable, but he seems to have more things than before.

The servants excitedly welcomed the king back to the palace.

Your Majesty is back, everything will be changed, right?

They thought so in their hearts.

"Master Benjamin, come in too, and I'll let them arrange a place for you to rest. The king turned to Benjamin and said, "Look, the cook is still here, not running." I asked him to cook us a good meal. ”

Benjamin smiled and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, rest first, I still have something to do. ”

The king was stunned, but he didn't ask more, but nodded and said, "Okay then." When the army comes, I'll divide a mage zone out of the city for you. At the celebration banquet, let's talk slowly. ”

Benjamin nodded and turned to leave.

It's not that he doesn't want to rest, it's just that Gray doesn't really belong to the king at the moment. The Church has been in control of this place for so long, and there are still many chess pieces lurking in the city. Along the way, Benjamin sensed at least a hundred.

They are like a time bomb planted in Glory, which has not come out now, but when it explodes, it will cause another incident. If these people are not cleared, they will not be able to live in this capital.

Benjamin also didn't want his home to be hidden next door to a nest of priests.

Therefore, after confirming that there was no danger in the palace, Benjamin flew into the sky again, turned on the water elemental sensing method, and cooperated with the system to scan the whole city, harvesting the chess pieces buried here by the church one after another.
