At the same time, in the Warcraft Mountains in the western part of the kingdom, human figures flashed from time to time among the dense trees. Under the cover of trees and rocks, the newly planted barracks are connected together, which looks a little simple, but from time to time there are magical lights and shadows flashing, mysterious and abnormal.

The largest tent in the camp was occupied by Benjamin and a few others.

"The priests of the Church...... You wouldn't have thought we'd be hiding in the Monster Mountains anyway, right?" said Duke Colin as he stood by the door, looking outside.

After several nobles formed an alliance with Benjamin, their private armies were carefully mobilized. At that time, Benjamin came up with the idea that it was not so easy to fight the Church by force, and that the Church would certainly be stronger than them by military force alone, and that they must take advantage of the situation as much as possible.

And the princess succeeds to the throne, which is their current situation.

Taking advantage of the discontent of the people and the confusion caused by Pravda, their 50,000-strong army could completely disguise themselves as bandits, mingle with a large number of rebels, and take advantage of the situation to revolt and occupy the mountain. In this way, the six nobles would not be exposed, and it would be difficult for the church to distinguish them from the chaotic gang.

In fact, on the night of the announcement of the princess's succession, they went into action.

Several towns in the western part of the kingdom of Hori were captured by them overnight, killing many priests and destroying six churches in a row. Of course, they did not harm innocent civilians, and by the time enemy reinforcements arrived early the next morning, their men had already withdrawn from the town and hid back in the Monster Mountains.

When Wang ** arrived in those towns, the priest who led the troops was so angry that he almost tore his hair in front of the ruins of the church and the empty government warehouse.

Not only that, but the church continued to support the looted towns, and there were inevitably misdispatches along the way. They seized the opportunity and sent troops to attack one of the teams of kings, and there were five more bodies of kings in the nameless canyon.

In this way, over the course of a few days, their army not only did not lose its numbers, but grew stronger and stronger. The stolen grain and armaments filled several warehouses, and after the town was occupied by them, many young people heard the name of the "Black Nightmare Society" and chose to follow them, which also made the whole team grow a little stronger.

At this moment, they are hiding in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, because the reinforcements of the church are increasing, so they are ready to keep a low profile for two days.

The Duke of Colin came to see on behalf of the six nobles, and in fact, the command of this army was almost entirely in the hands of Benjamin. The relationship now is a bit like that of the board of directors and the general manager, where one side owns and the other executes.

And the "board of directors", represented by Duke Colin, is obviously quite satisfied with the current situation.

"It's not that simple. Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Although there are many bandits out there and the energy of the church, if they have the heart to observe, they can also find out which are just bandits and which are our people." It won't be long before they can guess that we're in the Monster Mountains. ”

When Duke Colin heard this, he also put away the smile on his face and frowned.

"That'...... What are you going to do?"

Benjamin suddenly smiled slyly and replied, "I'm going to ask for help." ”

"Asking for help, isn't there already a lot of mages coming to the Magic Academy, how many of you still have them?"

"No, no, no...... When I say call for help, I don't mean mages, but armies. Benjamin spoke slowly, "Your Excellency, imagine that there is such chaos in the Kingdom of Hori now, if Ikor takes advantage of the situation to send troops, even if the church has three heads and six arms, I'm afraid it won't be able to deal with it, right?"

When Duke Colin heard this, he couldn't help but change his expression slightly.

"Ikor ...... Will Ikor attack the Kingdom of Hori?"

"How?"

"Your Excellency, if you can, don't let other countries get involved, right?" Duke Colin squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "Other countries have come in...... How do you make us do with ourselves?"

Benjamin raised his eyebrows meaningfully when he heard this.

These nobles are very afraid of this......

However, he didn't feel that he really had that much face, and he could directly say that he would move Ikor and start a war between the two countries.

"Ikor won't come in. So, Benjamin explains, "they've only been through war, and they've lost their own forces, and they can't just fight like that." I just want them to station troops on the border again, put on an offensive look, and buy space for us. ”

"That's good. ”

Duke Colin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Benjamin continued: "And, by taking advantage of this opportunity, we can give the church a heavy blow. ”

"What do you mean......"

"After investigating, we found the church's main stronghold for making magic items. Benjamin pointed to the strategic map spread out on the table and said slowly, "And in addition to Haven Lite, there is a very major production base, very close to our current location. ”

His finger landed on a landmark with the name Rhine written on it.

"Rhine, where are you going to attack next?" said Duke Colin was a little surprised.

In terms of religious atmosphere alone, even Haven Wright is not necessarily comparable to the Rhine. It is another settlement of the faithful, half of the city is a diocese, the number of priests is extremely large, and a large number of paladins are stationed, and the defense is extremely strong.

Duke Colin wouldn't be surprised if there was an important line of the Church there, but if Benjamin told him that he was going to attack there next, he was a little confused.

It's a big city, not far from Haven Wright, can it really be defeated?

"Lord Duke, I understand your concerns, but this step is too important for us. Benjamin took a deep breath and said, "Although we are now disguised as a gang of bandits, mixed in with the general situation, it seems very inconspicuous, but you must understand that we have actually started a war with the church, and one day we will collide head-on." And the Church's greatest advantage in armament is a steady stream of divine crosses, and we don't have much chance of winning unless we solve this first. ”

Hearing this, Duke Colin lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.

“...... Got it, you do what you think. He sighed and said, "I only hope that Your Excellency will remember that our lives, the future of the Kingdom of Hori, are now in your hands, so please proceed with caution." ”

Benjamin nodded.

And just like that, Duke Colin's inspection ended. In order to prevent the horse's feet from being exposed, he did not stop in the camp for long, and soon left the Warcraft Mountain Range under the escort of his men, and returned to his territory, where he was greeted with a smile by the messenger sent by the church.

As for Benjamin......

"How's the Freedom of Magic Proclamation going now?" asked Duke Colin as he turned his head after seeing him off, glancing at Morris, who was pushing in a wheelchair.
