A few days later, the surprising news arrived.

"The church doesn't seem to want to hide. Miles had just gone out to search, but he didn't expect to return to Crewe Town and report to Benjamin, "The latest news, Grant and his men have entered a mountain village called Carl in the north. They didn't block the news, so right now, believers across the country are gathering over there. ”

Benjamin frowned when he heard this.

What does that mean?

Although the church is already a little desperate, it will not run to a small mountain village. If the church wants to gather strength and fight to the death, it must at least choose a big city and fight with the advantages of walls and terrain, not as it is now.

They have ...... Gave up?

"That village ......"

"I know what you mean. Miles nodded, and continued Benjamin's words, "That is the village, the home of the legendary Cain and Abel." I don't know why the church would do this, but you'd better be mindful. ”

When Benjamin heard this, he was a little puzzled.

Wait a minute...... He doesn't seem to have heard of this legend?

This is a rumor with a relatively low credibility, and even the church has not written it into its own Bible, so I have not mentioned it to you. "It is rumored that thousands of years ago, there was a village named Karl, one of the few human settlements at that time. Two brothers were born from there and led humanity into the future...... And so on and so forth, and thousands of years have passed, but the small mountain village is still a small mountain village, and it has not changed, but there is no trace of the two brothers in it. ”

After listening, Benjamin thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't it the same name?"

"Probably so. The system replied casually, "Anyway, from the outside, it is a very ordinary village, although the terrain and environment are consistent with the legend, how can there be a place that has not changed at all for thousands of years? ”

Benjamin touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

It's a lot like a story made up, but the problem is that the church chose that place, so he had to think about it too. In desperation, the Church has given up its efforts and is hoping for ethereal myths and legends to save them? Or is it ...... What's really weird there?

There are enough secrets on this continent.

"How's that? what are you going to do?" asked Miles, who waited on the side for a while, and saw that Benjamin had not spoken.

"What else can I do?" said Benjamin, who came back to his senses, took a deep breath, "and there is only one last step left to destroy the church. Now that we know the enemy's location, we naturally have to rush over immediately, and we can't leave them the slightest respite. ”

"That'...... When do you plan to go. ”

Benjamin was silent for a moment and raised his head: "Right now." ”

With that, he took a step and walked out of the tent.

The entire army of Dark Nightmare was on the move again.

In fact, everything was exactly as they had planned it to be. Benjamin fended off the Kingdom Army attack on Crewe's side, while the Woods occupied the royal capital and destroyed the church, leaving the church in a state of homelessness on both sides. The location of the village of Karl was between the Black Nightmare and the Woods, so Benjamin set out with his men, and Elizabeth sent a large number of soldiers and mages to surround the church.

The two sides did not hold a military meeting, did not discuss what to do now, but they made the same choice - to take advantage of the weakest moment of the enemy and completely crush them to death.

The Kingdom of Hori desperately needs a future without a church.

Of course, in order to prevent the Church from escaping, they marched slowly this time, first forming a circle around the village of Karl, and only after confirming that the Church could not split a team to steal the house, they entered the hill and set up camp outside the legendary village.

- Both the Dark Nightmare and the Woodland camps were stretched out in an extremely long, arc-shaped arrangement, with two ends facing each other, drawing a slightly irregular circle on the ground.

And Karl Village is like a fly in a bowl, which can't fly no matter how it flies.

"They were quiet. Elizabeth stood on the sentry post and said to Benjamin beside her, "We have investigated, and they have been quiet since they entered the village of Karl, and there has been almost no movement. Almost all the priests in exile rushed over, and the faithful from all over the country gathered here as if ......"

Benjamin went on to say: "It's as if they're all here, and they're going to catch them all." ”

Elizabeth nodded.

"Or maybe they've been cornered by us. Benjamin continued, "They knew they were powerless, so the congregants rushed to witness the last traces of the church's existence, or to perish with it." ”

Elizabeth looked at the mountain village in the distance, took a deep breath, and said, "I hope so." ”

Benjamin also looked at the unusually quiet village, but at this moment, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Elizabeth again.

“...... How does it feel to rule the royal capital?"

Elizabeth turned her head and frowned, "What do you want to say?"

"Nothing, I'm just curious about how you feel when you sit on the throne. With a meticulous smile on his face, Benjamin felt that the question had to be asked, "Is it the satisfaction that my father's last wish has finally been fulfilled, or the joy of feeling that the power is in my hands and the world is in my own hands?"

“...... Neither. ”

"What's that?"

"It's a sigh of relief. Elizabeth looked away, her expression hardening again, "You've always wanted to ask this question, I know, that's right, my father's last wish was to make the Wood family the new royal family of the Horry Kingdom, and he wanted me to ascend to the throne, so he did everything to make so many preparations." ”

When Benjamin heard this, he shook his head, although he already knew it in his heart.

“...... Do you want to be this queen?"

However, unexpectedly, Elizabeth nodded without hesitation.

"I think. She spoke unusually firmly, "It's not just for my father, do you know how I escaped when the church encircled the Silent Academy? Everyone was sacrificed, teachers, elders...... They have put their lives on me, so I will carry out all this, fulfill the dream of all the mages in the kingdom of Hori, be crowned as a mage, and rule the country. ”

Benjamin sighed.

If so...... He also seemed to have a hard time persuading him.

"Do you want to be king too?" At this time, Elizabeth suddenly looked at Benjamin again, "Father has been guarding against this when he was alive, but I don't care. You were also a nobleman of the kingdom, a mage, the one who really overthrew the church. If you want to succeed to the throne, it makes sense, and I can give it to you. ”

Benjamin immediately waved his hand: "Not interested." ”

"Then why are you so obsessed with this problem. ”

"Because mages are not fit to govern the country. Benjamin crossed his hands and spoke slowly, "Governing the kingdom is a very secular job, and the mage ...... No matter how close we are to the common people, we will never be secular. We can form a parliament like Ikor or we can retreat into the background. The point is that the monarch is not necessarily the person with the highest status, and just because a person can learn magic well does not mean that he knows how to govern the country. ”

When Elizabeth heard this, she narrowed her eyes and looked Benjamin up and down for a moment.

“...... That being the case, we don't have much more to say on this topic. ”

Benjamin helplessly spread his hands: "You really want to be on the throne so much?"

"This country is not the same as Ikor, and the mages here have been through too much pain. The entire Academy of Silence is watching me from behind, and the mages of the entire Kingdom of Hori are watching you as well. Elizabeth turned to him before she flew away from the outpost, and said, "You have chosen to ignore and ignore their expectations, so I can only take your share and fulfill this responsibility." ”

With that, she flew away like the wind and disappeared from Benjamin's sight.
