Hearing this, Benjamin also became nervous all of a sudden.

Is it coming?

"Defensive...... How's it going?"

"The rune defense array you mentioned has been preliminarily arranged, and after trying it, the defense ability is indeed very good. The executive prime minister paused, and then continued, "It's just that no one is sure whether it can withstand the enemy's artillery fire." ”

Several officials from the Lord and Sect on the side also chimed in, "Yes, we all came here because of the promise of the Dean. Once this so-called great array is broken, I am afraid that our situation will become very dangerous, and we may not be able to go back. ”

It stands to reason that there is no need for these officials from Regina to come to Rock City. But they decided to come here, as if to witness the day when the formation was breached, so as to verify the correctness of their summons.

Benjamin shook his head.

"Don't worry, if Rock City is lost, I will definitely escort a few adults out safely. He said with a cold face and a little sarcasm.

"Since the dean has said so, then we are relieved. The official ignored the mockery in his words and smiled, "And...... At that time, you shouldn't have any more objections to suing for peace with the Kingdom of Hori, right?"

Benjamin was a little speechless. How long has it been since he was still saying this, but he didn't bother to refute anything. Differences in political views will not lead to anything, so let them go.

"Let the opinions of a few adults. ”

When the officials of the Lord and the faction received a satisfactory answer, they all nodded, quieted down, and said no more. After all, they were all Ikor people, and they didn't sing about the battle in a particularly obvious way, but Benjamin sensed the carriages outside the town hall, and even the luggage was ready.

Obviously, they are not optimistic about this fight.

Benjamin was inevitably a little indignant. The people of Ikor were displaced by the war, and many high-ranking officials only wanted to save their lives and sue for peace.

However, it is clear that this sentiment did not last long.

"Prime Minister, the army of the Horry Kingdom has been killed!"

A hurried horn interrupted the discussion in the town hall. Everyone turned their heads, and a knight hurried through the door, shouting at everyone in the hall.

The atmosphere has changed.

"So fast?"

The Executive Prime Minister's face could not help but change, and then, he exchanged a look with the chairman and Benjamin, nodded his head, and showed a resolute expression.

"Let's go, let's go out and see how it goes. The president stroked his beard and said in a deep old voice.

Benjamin was the first to fly out, and after him, the crowd hurried out of the hall and toward the city gate.

The horn of the guard resounded throughout Rock City, and the originally depressed streets now seemed even more solemn. The soldiers hurried in the direction of the city wall, and the people hid in their houses, the doors and windows closed, leaving only a few gaps, through which a pair of frightened eyes peeked out.

Soon, Benjamin felt the west gate of Rock City.

“...... Is that the army of the Church?" Standing at the head of the city, he looked at the scene outside, and couldn't help but take a deep breath and whisper to himself.

About a few hundred meters outside the city, the black head of the man covered the entire land like a sudden rise of the dense forest. Although the terrain of Rock City was located on a high place, and Benjamin could overlook all the enemies from an advantageous angle, the sight of such a sea of people still made him feel quite oppressive.

Not to mention the armor on all the soldiers, the silver-white iron gauntlets glittered in the scorching sun, like a sea of steel. The priests of the church were among them, and it was difficult for Benjamin to count their number.

At the front of the line, Benjamin saw a general on horseback with a strange face. Other than that, he didn't see any of the other chiefs and didn't know where Grant was.

- It made him a little uneasy.

In addition, in the back row of the line, he still saw a cannon of holy light raised by the door. The golden paint painted all over the cannon body, exuding a divine aura, I don't know how powerful it is, but in terms of momentum, it is indeed much more powerful than the Holy Light Cannon copied by the Academy.

Because the enemy army is huge, and when you get to the back row, the distance is already quite far. Benjamin couldn't count the number of Holy Light cannons, and the system's detection couldn't be completed.

"Oh my God...... Is this the legendary Holy Cross?"

Ikor and the others also came one after another. They climbed up to the top of the city, looked at the mighty army in the distance, and let out a subconscious exclamation.

- It is normal for them to be surprised, in terms of military strength alone, the kingdom of Hori is indeed far above Ikor. The weakening caused by the fragmentation of the empire will not be completely restored in ten years.

"Prime Minister, it's too late to change your mind. The officials of the Lord and faction continued to persuade, "Once the enemy launches an offensive and under artillery fire, we may be razed to the ground along with Rock City, and we will not even have a chance to sue for peace!"

"What's the panic, they came in a hurry all the way, and it was impossible to start attacking right away. The Prime Minister took a deep breath, waved his hand, and said, "This is likely to be a tug-of-war, and we need to be prepared to fight the enemy to the end." ”

Although he was only the acting ruler sent by Carretus to manage Ikor, at this moment, it was clear from his determined expression that the country had given him a new sense of purpose.

He will fight to the end for Ikor!

After all, more than a decade ago, large swathes of territory belonged to the same country. The division has given birth to estrangement and dislike, but it has not worn out the sense of responsibility in people's hearts.

“...... Wait! They seem to be planning to attack now. However, after a moment, the president suddenly said in a deep voice.

I saw that the army in the distance moved, and everyone was leaning towards Locke City. They hadn't reached the speed of charging yet, but at such times, even a slight approach could put a lot of pressure on the people at the head of the city.

And it was clear that the Holy Light cannons that were in the rear of the army were being moved to the front little by little.

He ...... They're going to fire, they're going to attack!"

The officials could not bear this pressure, and both the main battle faction and the main peace faction left the city one after another under the escort of soldiers. For security reasons, the Executive Prime Minister was also sent back at this moment, leaving only Benjamin and the President in the city, as well as a group of mage soldiers who helped defend the city.

They looked at the "artillery battalion" slowly forming in the distance, everyone looked solemn, but no one took a step back.

"One, two...... What, it's obviously more than sixty Holy Light cannons, how can the previous news be so exaggerated, it scared my liver to jump carefully. ”

Originally, the atmosphere was like a taut string, and the entire city was silent as if it was frozen, and even the sound of breathing could not be heard, but the system came out at this moment and said inappropriately.

Benjamin was speechless.
