Chapter 867: Before the War
When Morris heard this, he showed a somewhat helpless expression: "I didn't come here to be your butler. ”
"I'm just asking about the situation...... Benjamin laughed dryly, and said casually, "Wallis has to stay at the academy, and among the other mages from the academy, you are more capable of taking care of things, so I can't ask too much, right?"
Morris shook his head helplessly.
After a large number of mages of the academy received the summoning order, they used the ghost abyss to rush to the kingdom of Hori and join the army, and Morris was the director who led the team. Not only that, in order to provide the support of magic props, he brought almost half of the magic props from there, and began to produce them with the army on the day he arrived.
At present, every mage in the army is equipped with at least a bracelet with mental strength, plus an auto-triggered life-saving necklace, which may not be enough compared to the church, but it is already a huge improvement for them.
But of course, he has to take care of this and that, and as the person in charge of the team, Morris is a little overwhelmed.
The words of the declaration...... 50,000 copies have been sent out to all parts of the country, which should give birth to a large number of local mages. News has come from the various strongholds of the Nightmare Society, and many new mages are starting to join. He reported the situation and then complained, "Next time these things happen, ask your intelligence director, I'll only take care of the magic props." ”
“...... All right. ”
Benjamin could only nod.
However, the fact that the Declaration of Free Magic has a second life in the Kingdom of Horry is also good news for them.
This is something that has been busy in the dark department of the academy lately. The Church's energy was diverted by bandits, and they took advantage of this opportunity to spread a large number of "Free Magic Declarations" from various places such as taverns and theaters, further disintegrating the ruling base of the Church.
The manifesto not only contains various instructions for the introduction of magic, but also promotes the core idea of the innocence of magic, which is indeed quite appropriate at the moment.
"It's okay, you go and get your hands dirty. He said to Morris.
When Morris heard this, he thought for a while, and then said, "That...... Haven Lite's Holy Light Defense Array, are you still going to let us crack it?"
Benjamin turned his head: "Can you?"
"There is hope, but I need a drawing. Morris pushed his wheelchair to the side of the strategy map, pointed to the map, and said, "If you can really capture the Rhine City and destroy the production base there, please be sure to bring the oil painting in the basement of the church intact." ”
"Oil paintings?"
Morris nodded, and said unusually firmly: "Yes, if I remember correctly, the architectural drawings of St. Peter's Basilica are hidden in that painting." And Haven Lite's Holy Light Defense Array is actually generated with the Cathedral as the core. ”
Hearing this, Benjamin nodded, still a little surprised in his heart.
In fact, Rhine City is the church's magic prop production base, and this information was told to him by Morris, but he didn't expect that Morris even knew so many secret details.
"Where did you find out?" he asked.
"It's not me, it's my former companions who bought it with their lives. Morris spoke calmly, "Among the mages specially trained by the church to be used as undercover agents, there are actually many people who choose to betray. We've been in there for so long, and we've always known some secrets that don't go away. ”
Benjamin heard this and took a deep breath.
"Okay, we're definitely bringing the painting back from the Rhine. ”
"That's good. Morris nodded, pushed his wheelchair and turned to leave the tent.
Watching him leave, Benjamin suddenly thought that in fact, there were so many mages from the Academy of Magic, most of them were enthusiastic students, and there were not many teachers. And people like the heads of departments and heads, only Morris came.
Thinking of this, for some reason, he felt that the burden on his shoulders seemed to sink a little more.
Benjamin, however, marvelously did not feel the slightest nervousness. He turned his head and looked at the strategic map spread out on the table, as if he had finally seen the mountain peak after a long climb, and felt that he was ready to go.
"When we attack the Rhine, the war will really begin. He suddenly said in his heart.
"Hmm...... How do you want me to answer? Why do I feel like your question has no questioning tone at all, which makes it difficult for me to answer? The system immediately spoke, still with the same blank eyes.
Benjamin shook his head helplessly.
"I'm just sighing. He said to the system, "From the time I escaped from the royal capital to now, after so many things, I finally came to the moment when I was about to fight the church head-on, and I sighed what's wrong? Can't you say something less annoying?"
"Oh, okay. The system paused for a moment, then said with great pomp, "Oh my God, you really did it!
“...... Shut up. ”
Benjamin covered his forehead.
The system has a special function, and after communicating with it, whether it is the pressure burden from all sides, or the emotional excitement of seeing the end, all of them are gone.
Benjamin only felt like his heart was standing still.
In this way, for the next few days, they were carefully preparing plans for a surprise attack on the Rhine City. Their current army, they say they are an army, but there are too many bandits, civilians, and people who hate the church...... You can go into battle with a weapon, but you really need to prepare for it.
Benjamin didn't know how to train, but the six nobles left behind a group of knights. They were originally the commanders of the army, and now it is not difficult for them to reintegrate and train the team.
In the deep dense forest of the Warcraft Mountain Range, where no one knows, the sound of drill faintly comes from it.
A few days later.
Benjamin sat in his tent meditating, and the piece of sound transmission wood in his pocket finally lit up. He took out the wood chip and activated it, and the voice of the head of the dark department of the academy came from inside:
The news has exploded all over the country, and the Church's original plan to crown the princess the day after tomorrow has had to be postponed. Last night, Wang ** had been forced to assemble and began to move towards the border. ”
After listening, Benjamin breathed a long sigh of relief and nodded in satisfaction.
The president is still righteous enough, and he helped him with this without saying a word. Otherwise, without Ikcol's army to attract attention, it would certainly not be so easy to raid the Rhine.
So...... Ikor moved, and they should move too.
Benjamin stood up, lifted the curtain of the tent, and walked out slowly.
Outside the door, Joanna happened to pass by with a team of mages, and when she saw Benjamin coming out, she couldn't help but stop.
“...... Dean?"
They looked at Benjamin's expression as if they had a premonition, and their eyes lit up as if they had survived a long night, and the first rays of dawn were reflected in their pupils.
Benjamin smiled and nodded.
"The time has come. He spoke, his voice steady and firm, "Let's go." ”
