"Looks like ...... That guy tricked us again. ”

In the rooms of the palace, Bishop Cameron put down the letter in his hand, squinted his eyes, and did not hear joy or anger in his calm tone.

"Why? he's not in the encirclement?" asked the older bishop, stunned for a moment.

"The latest news, Master Benjamin and the King have appeared in the village of Kerr to the east. How could he be in the encirclement?" Bishop Cameron shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's just his mages and what's attacking the detention center...... Pretend to be his double. ”

The older bishop was still in disbelief: "We have investigated everyone under him. Apart from him, no one has the ability to break through the defenses of the detention center. ”

Bishop Cameron continued to shake his head and said, "I don't understand why, but it's happened. Either his stand-in breached the detention center, or he appeared in the eastern village with the king, which is the so-called stand-in. ”

When the older bishop heard this, he also looked a little irritated.

"This cunning boy ......"

Although he used the king's stand-in to hold Carretus in his hands, he still felt a huge pressure at the moment. Magic is circulating everywhere among the people, and they can't stop it. Rumors were rife that almost half of the villages tended to tilt toward Benjamin, making them sit in a position that was not at all secure.

All of this is the seed that Benjamin planted in this country.

In their opinion, as long as Benjamin is eliminated, everything in Carretus will slowly develop in a good direction. That's why they mobilized so much power to wipe Benjamin out of the world at any cost.

It's a pity that this is not the Kingdom of Hori, otherwise......

The older bishop thought with some regret.

"Send someone to the village to the east. Anyway, we need to get the king back. Bishop Cameron spoke after a brief silence.

The older bishop nodded.

"In addition, no matter who attacked the detention center, those more than a hundred mages must be in the encirclement. Bishop Cameron continued, "We can no longer be led by the nose, we must continue to lock down that area." After finding out the more than 100 mages and purifying them all, we will slowly finish the rest of the work. ”

The older bishop sighed. Although he wanted to punish Benjamin as quickly as possible, for now, they could only do so.

Just as he turned around and prepared to leave the room.

"Yes...... There's something new!"

A paladin pushed open the door and hurried into the room, panting and shouting.

"What's the news?" the older bishop had a premonition in his heart that wasn't so good. He asked with a look of displeasure on his face.

"Yes...... It's the people of Amber City. The paladin hesitated and said, "I don't know what's going on these days, it's been said everywhere that there is an outbreak of plague in Amber City. A lot of people want to go out and run that place...... It may have been blocked. ”

"What?!"

Hearing this, the faces of the two bishops finally showed stunned expressions again.

The room fell into dead silence for a moment.

Meanwhile.

Under the clear sky, on several main roads around Amber City, countless people crowded here, many of them wearing homemade gray cloth masks. At a glance, it is dense, like ants pouring out of its nest.

They were people who wanted to evacuate because of the plague rumors.

"Sister, did you say there was really a plague in the city?"

"You are stupid, so many people are running out, can the news be fake? ”

"Okay......"

The news of the plague has only come out in the past few days. Once it spreads, it is extremely fast, more powerful than a real plague virus. Ordinary people don't know if there is a plague or not, but what if it is? Coupled with the effect of herd mentality, most people are running out.

However, at this moment, the situation around Amber City is a bit special.

At the end of each road, there is a blockade of troops. It's not that they don't allow people to pass by, it's just that every time someone passes, it takes more than ten minutes, which makes them even more nervous when they are in a hurry to evacuate.

Look at the way the soldiers are examined, pinch around people's faces, and open their eyelids to look carefully at the eyeballs, and see the doctor...... It seems to be a bit similar.

"Hurry up, what if we get infected?"

"Mom, I seem to be a little itchy, will it ...... Will it be ......"

Anxiety was brewing in the crowd.

As for the more than 100 mages that Wallis brought with him, they were also hiding in the crowd at the moment. It's just that, as the promoters of the whole "plague" rumor, looking at their masterpiece, their mood is still very nervous.

"It's already like this, why haven't you exploded?" Frank lowered his voice and couldn't help but say.

Their location was very close to the checkpoint, and in a few hours, the soldiers would check on them. If there is no riot yet, the situation will become very troublesome.

"Rumors are rumors after all. Wallis shook his head and said, "These people are just scared, I'm afraid...... Something has to push them. ”

"How do you push it?"

Wallis pondered for a moment, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration.

“...... Pregnant. ”

With the passage of time, people's impatience is still increasing little by little. Many people couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to ignore those soldiers and rush out. But alas, they were still afraid of the name of the army and held back.

As Wallis had said, perhaps something really needed to nudge them, so that their fear of the plague would suddenly magnify and overshadow their sanity, and the situation would change.

That's when ......

I don't know if it's a coincidence, not far behind Wallis, a young man who looked a little thin covered his head, rolled his eyes, and fell down like this.

His fainting movement was not small, and many people looked back.

Suddenly, the crowd exploded.

"Oh my God, this man...... This man has a plague!"

"Run, don't touch this guy!"

"What are you all looking for? Get out of the way, if you don't get out of the way, everyone will be infected!"

It's like a little spark thrown into the ground full of gasoline, and in an instant, the people who could still hold their temperament go crazy. What are you kidding? Someone fainted right next to them, so who could wait patiently?

Reason was overshadowed by fear, and they scrambled outward.

It all happened very suddenly, and the soldiers who stopped in the road ...... They obviously can't stop such a crowd.

"Hey, you guys...... What are you going to do......

The captain of the soldiers gripped the hilt of his sword at his waist, as if trying to intimidate the crowd. However, before he could utter a complete sentence, he was drowned in an endless crowd.

People rushed out like a flood that broke the levees.

The official Carrets – or rather the blockade of the Church – completely collapsed at this moment.
