Chapter 498: A Messenger with Bad Intentions

At that moment, Benjamin was shocked, and his hairs were about to stand on end.

Ignoring the king who stood aside, he suddenly took a step and rushed straight out of the tent. At this moment, the general was still walking back, and the "messenger" had just touched the cross, and the soldiers on the side did not even realize what was happening.

The general looked at Benjamin who suddenly rushed out, and couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"Why are you ......?"

Benjamin shouted as he ran: "General, be careful!"

Looking over the general's shoulder, he could clearly see that the priest was already holding the cross in his hand and pointing it at the general, as if he was about to read something. And a few soldiers over there didn't even understand the situation, they just stared at Benjamin blankly, and didn't mean to stop the priest.

Can't wait......

Benjamin didn't care about anything else, so he could only take the lead in making a move.

With a low incantation, a huge balloon of water suddenly fell from the sky and smashed headlong towards the priest disguised as a messenger!

At that moment, the priest's expression was also a little flustered. He apparently did not anticipate Benjamin's presence, but after a brief hesitation, he put away his cross and turned to run.

Benjamin's face sank.

Want to run?

With a wave of his right hand, the water balloon in the sky exploded like fireworks, turning into a curtain of water, covering a small area in front of him.

The priest is in the middle of it, and naturally there is no way to avoid it.

So he stopped, turned and began to chant, as if preparing to go head-to-head with Benjamin. Benjamin, however, shook his head with a sneer, and the large curtain of water suddenly closed, as if he had found the fishing net of his prey, and swept the priest into it.

The life-saving cross on the priest shattered and turned into a shield to keep the water out. But Benjamin also controlled the water curtain, and re-formed a huge water ball, enveloping the priest in it.

The moment the water balloon formed, a muffled snort came out of it.

The priest's chanting was interrupted by the Forbidden Water Ball, revealing a somewhat stunned expression.

"You ......"

Benjamin just shook his head.

"Die, you can't run away. ”

The whole process was over in a matter of more than ten seconds, and the soldiers on the side, the generals who turned around, and the king who looked out from the crack in the tent...... Before they could even reflect what was happening, Benjamin had already restrained the priest and stopped.

Then, the soldiers showed a somewhat panicked expression.

"You...... Who are you? How did you get out of the general's tent?"

When Benjamin heard this, he also felt a headache. The situation is a bit complicated, he is a person with a portrait on the wanted post, and he suddenly rushes out and fights for a while with the "messenger" sent by Glory - who knows what these ordinary soldiers will think?

I'm afraid there will be a misunderstanding......

Fortunately, the general opened his mouth at this time: "This is a guest I invited, you don't have to care." ”

The soldiers came to their senses and turned to look at the priest trapped in the water balloon: "But...... What about this envoy, he's sent by Glori!"

The priest in the water balloon also shouted, pointing at the general's nose and scolding: "How bold you are to harbor fugitives! As a general of Caritus, you don't even listen to the orders of His Majesty?"

When the soldiers heard this, they looked at the general with doubts. The surrounding soldiers also gathered one after another, and there was a feeling that more and more people were gathering.

Suddenly, the general frowned.

The scene in front of him made him feel a little tricky.

"Shut up, what emissary, even an assassin can claim to be an emissary of His Majesty?" Benjamin immediately said in a loud voice, "This man just wanted to attack the general, if it weren't for me, the general's life would have been lost." ”

But the priest did not persevere: "You are talking nonsense! He is obviously the number one bandit on the wanted warrant, but he still dares to show up." Ladies and gentlemen, if you capture this person and Glory, you can get the highest reward from Your Majesty!"

As he pointed out, some of the soldiers looked at Benjamin and seemed to recognize him.

"Like...... It's really the bandit leader. ”

"What the hell is going on......"

The soldiers were talking.

Suddenly, Benjamin also realized the seriousness of the problem. This army was led by a general, yes, but it was also subordinate to the king and under the command of Glory. If the general's prestige had not reached such a point that the soldiers would have listened to him at all costs, and the soldiers had been deceived by the orders of the false king, the current state of affairs might have led to a mutiny.

Troublesome......

He should have changed his face and rushed out again.

"The cultist who seized power and usurped the throne, you still dare to appear in front of me?" In this case, the king had no choice but to wear a crown and wear a gorgeous robe and walk out of the tent.

Suddenly, everyone's expressions changed again.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

The general's reaction was quick, and he immediately shouted, "Don't hurry up and salute His Majesty!" The soldiers were a little confused, but they still knelt on one knee in confusion and saluted the king in unison.

The priest's eyes widened and he glared at the king as if he were about to burst out of the balloon and chop him to death.

"Get up, you are all good soldiers of mine. The king nodded, and then looked at the priest in the water balloon.

It's time for him to play.

Therefore, he continued: "As you can see, this so-called messenger is in fact a spy of the enemy. Now the royal palace has been controlled by the Church, and a stand-in has been put on my throne. And those mages who protected me were branded as bandits by them and wanted by the whole country. ”

Hearing this, the soldiers looked at each other, clearly sensing that they had been embroiled in the struggle for royal power.

The king glanced at the crowd and continued, "Now that Ikor has invaded our doorstep, the Church has not thought about how to defend against foreign enemies, but has let you stand still. Soldiers, do you really want to watch the enemy invade our land little by little?"

Suddenly, the expressions of the soldiers changed again.

The rumors of the true and false kings spread some time ago, and they naturally heard about it. As soldiers, of course, they chose to trust Glori's side and support the "orthodoxy" in the palace. However, when the king, who had been branded as a "liar", came to them, and it seemed that even the general was leaning on the side of the "liar", they had to start to re-examine the rumors.

And...... More important is Ikol's invasion.

The king said that their hearts were up.

The war has begun, but they can't do anything, let alone know if their relatives in their hometown will be affected, which is absolutely something they can't bear. If they hadn't sworn an oath to the king, they would have petitioned and gone to the front to fight.

Teaching this instruction of "standing still" made the soldiers suddenly have doubts in their hearts.

Therefore, no matter which king is real, at least ...... The king in front of them, the words he said would not make them feel wrong.

"No, don't listen to this liar, he's not a king!, what do they know?" the priest in the water polo still didn't give up, and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty is in the palace at the moment, and standing still is only part of the counterattack plan, they don't understand it at all!"

"Really?" Benjamin let out a sneer, and suddenly said, "Listen, everyone, isn't this person's accent a little strange?"

"You...... What do you mean?"

Benjamin asked, "You're not a native of Carretus, are you?"

"I—Of course I am. ”

Benjamin shook his head with a smile and said to the soldiers around him: "Everyone can hear it, this is a person from the Hori Kingdom, how can he become Glory's messenger? ”

The soldiers sensed that something was wrong, and looked at the priest with hostile eyes.

"No, you have to believe me......"

The priest was still yelling, but Benjamin didn't want to hear it anymore.

His right hand was aimed at the priest, and suddenly he clenched into a fist. The balls of water that enveloped the priest also burst into flames at that moment, turning into a prison of water vortex, and in a matter of seconds, the cross on his body was exhausted, shattering the barrier, and completely submerging him.
