"Teacher Benjamin, you really came to save us!"

More than half an hour after the blockade collapsed, in the remote woods, Benjamin and Wallis led more than a hundred mages reconciled, and each other breathed a sigh of relief.

They hadn't seen Benjamin in a few days, and they looked quite excited at the moment.

Seeing this, Benjamin waved his hand casually and said with a smile: "What's this, after all, you left the grassland first to save me, and I just came back to help you a little." ”

Seriously, the process of spreading the news of the plague was mainly done by these mages themselves. Benjamin kept talking to people outside the encirclement, but he didn't have much influence.

And the more important factor in their success is that the church acted too hastily.

Benjamin could also imagine that the people of the church must have been in a hurry—in order to catch him, the bishop even ignored the living conditions in the area and launched a lockdown during this peak flow of people. In this way, a large number of people are blocked here, and the church cannot provide enough manpower to deal with it for a while, which will naturally lead to chaos in the scene.

And in this chaos, Benjamin and the others had the opportunity to spread rumors.

Therefore, the church loses to its own mentality.

"What's next?" asked Wallis, "Shall we go back to the prairie......?" The situation over there is stable now, and if you have other plans, we can execute them. ”

Benjamin shook his head and said, "It's okay, you go back to the prairie first." This kind of separate action between the two teams has worked well, and if something happens on our side, I'll let you know again. ”

Since they want to play containment, they definitely can't all go together.

The mages understood this and nodded their heads. The situation was not leisurely either, so they left without much rest, and hurried towards the steppe.

Benjamin himself turned around and began to fly eastward without stopping.

- He was to join the King's apprentice and continue to win the hearts and minds of the people in the countryside.

Flying in mid-air, Benjamin took out the sound transmission wood and planned to inform the team. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took out the wood chip, the wood chip lit up by itself.

...... Just as I was about to contact them, their news came by themselves?

Benjamin raised an eyebrow and activated the wood chips with mental power.

However, coming from inside was the king's somewhat flustered voice:

"No...... Oh no, the general Rrest suddenly appeared with his troops and surrounded the village. We are now hiding in the village chief's house in the village of Kerr, and we don't know how long we can hold on. In a word...... Anyway, come and save us!"

“......”

No way?

Coming back to his senses, Benjamin couldn't help but cover his forehead.

The joy of successfully rescuing the 100 mages disappeared at this moment. He pinched the piece of wood in his hand, was silent for a long time, and sighed.

General Lester ......

Damn it.

He sent the king and them to the east to develop the village because the church was on Amber side, and no one could surround them. But he didn't expect that this general, who had fought before, would become the only unstable factor that was ignored at the moment.

- I'm afraid this man still holds a grudge against Benjamin

What's more, General Lester was convinced of the false king supported by the Church. If he had caught the king, he would have delivered the man into the hands of the church.

He couldn't let that happen.

So Benjamin took a deep breath, put away the pieces of wood, and flew as fast as he could, towards the village to the east.

Meanwhile.

In the village of Kerr, east of Carites.

"Oops...... Oops...... Why hasn't Gen Benjamin come yet?" The king held the family emblem in the palm of his hand and paced back and forth, his forehead covered with beads of sweat.

Halfway through, he took a deep breath and couldn't help but glance out again.

Outside the village, there are soldiers on the inside and three layers outside. The village chief and a few villagers walked tremblingly at the entrance of the village, negotiating with General Lester on horseback.

"General, we really don't have any wanted criminals here. You are offending the glory of the royal family by surrounding the village with your soldiers. Please retire. ”

"There are no fugitives, right, so why don't you let us in?

"General, this is my duty as a village chief, I really can't let you in......"

This stalemate has been going on for several hours.

General Rest, not knowing where to get the news, surrounded the village, saying that the wanted man was hiding inside. The village chief, on the other hand, was surprisingly righteous and stopped in front of the army to prevent them from entering the village.

The king could not help but feel a pang of rejoicing.

"There is salvation in this country!" he couldn't help but say.

"Your Majesty, the ...... I hate to argue with you, but the chief of the village would do this, mainly because his son has a talent for magic and is now one of us. Leila stood aside and cleared her throat as she spoke.

“......”

The king glared at Leila, but said nothing.

Joanna showed an impatient look, and said, "There is no way to go on like this, let's just rush out! Anyway, they are all ordinary soldiers, I have observed, there is no priest." ”

"Just ten of us?" Leila rolled her eyes and said, "Those apprentices must not be counted on, tens of thousands of soldiers, you can't kill them all until your mental power is exhausted." ”

Joanna rhetorically asked, "So what are we going to do? If we don't rush out, they'll rush in." ”

"Not necessarily. Leila shook her head and pointed to the general in the distance outside the window, "This guy is a bit of a brainbreaker, and likes to follow a set of rules. Attacking the village was not in accordance with the rules in the first place, and now that the village chief's attitude is so resolute, he may not dare to do it. ”

Joanna was stunned and looked out the window.

General Lester was still arguing with the village chief, but the soldiers behind him were already listless. Look...... I'm afraid it's still some way off.

Seeing this, Joanna couldn't help but sigh: "It's true." He could have kicked the village aside, but he just didn't dare to do it. ”

Listening to their words, the king also felt a little relieved.

"I hope the village chief's attitude will continue to be so resolute. Tony interjected, "Wait long enough for Master Benjamin to arrive, and everything will be solved." ”

When the other mages heard this, they all nodded.

They didn't know how long it would be before Benjamin arrived, and they didn't know what Benjamin would be able to do when he arrived, and get them out of the siege, but ...... They just believe.

Benjamin will always have a way.

They're used to that.

This time, however, their long-standing habit was broken.

Before they could wait for Benjamin, the situation at the entrance of the village seemed to have changed again.
