Chapter 913: The Church's Ambush

"There's only one day left, everyone, do your best! After this valley, someone from the town of Crewe will come to meet us. ”

It was just nightfall, and in the desolate eastern hills of the Kingdom of Hori, Benjamin and the Black Nightmare were still advancing. They had been hiding in the mountains for a long time, and by constantly moving, hiding their tracks, they finally slowly approached the base camp of the Woods.

When the soldiers heard this, a smile finally appeared on their tired faces.

They didn't have a good time during this time, they went over the mountains and mountains along the way, dragging a large amount of grain, grass, materials and ordnance, which was enough to tire them half to death, not to mention the demonic beasts that popped up from time to time on the road. In an inaccessible place like this, there are often a lot of large-scale monsters living in groups, and they are always on guard against these things, which makes it difficult for their spirits to be completely relaxed.

But...... When it was finally here, everyone was in good spirits, and they wanted to take advantage of the fact that it was not yet completely night, and they would have to travel for a while.

"You don't actually have to follow the big army, I'll let a few mages protect you and fly over first. Benjamin fell back into the line from the air and looked at Morris, who was in a wheelchair and stumbling along the rugged mountain road, and couldn't help but speak.

"Don't worry about me. Morris shook his head, smiled, and said, "We have moved separately so many times, the church must be on guard, and it will be easily exposed." Besides, this time, we have to live under the roof of others, and it is better for everyone to show up together, which can be regarded as a statement. ”

When Benjamin heard this, he no longer persuaded him, but said, "So...... You're a little worried about what happened to Crewe?"

Morris nodded.

"Have you noticed that the new Duke Elizabeth is promoting revenge under the banner of revenge?" he explained in a low voice. "She's a mage herself, and I've heard a lot about it before, but few people mention it. And it seems that in the eyes of the people, she is an orthodox image of the nobility of the kingdom, but few people know her identity as a mage. ”

Benjamin frowned: "You mean ......"

"For us, whether it is a mage or a nobleman, the church will be defeated in the end, so the difference may not be so big. But for many more people, the mage represents a sense of distance, mystery, power, and far from most people's lives, while nobles ...... Represents class and power. ”

Benjamin touched his chin and didn't speak. But in his heart, thinking of everything Duke Colin had done, he had actually had a similar guess for a long time.

Duke Colin was almost the one behind the current situation.

He asked Benjamin to rescue the king in order to inflate the conflict, and then secretly helped the mages to weaken the power of the church, and in the end, even the Black Nightmare army was built with his support, and he hid a powerful army of his own abroad...... A nobleman even fights for his own life, what else can he do for it?

"The Wood family, who want to be the supreme family in this country. Morris made his conclusion vague.

Benjamin hesitated for a moment, but said, "That's Duke Colin's idea, but he's dead." After his daughter inherited the title...... You don't necessarily want to be king. ”

"Oh, do you know her well?"

“...... Generally. ”

"Then how do you know that people don't want to be kings?"

Benjamin was speechless for a while, didn't know how to answer, scratched his head and said, "This...... It feels, it feels like she's not the kind of person she is. Don't ask so much, I'm not sure, let's wait until the two sides meet. ”

Hearing this, Morris nodded, and finally stopped asking.

"Who wouldn't want to climb up? As far as I'm concerned, if the Duke of Elizabeth really wants to be king, it's acceptable. At least she's a mage, and I heard that she came from the Silent Academy? I don't think she'll repeat the King's mistakes. ”

"Really...... Do you think that in the future, the monarch of the kingdom should be a mage?" Listening to his personal opinion, Benjamin raised his eyebrows, and there seemed to be some disagreement between his tone.

Morris smiled and said, "There may be something that doesn't fit it, but as a mage, can't I be a little selfish?"

When Benjamin heard this, he smiled helplessly, turned his head away, and said nothing more.

By this time, it was already completely dark, and it would be unsafe to hurry, so he gave the order to rest. The soldiers stopped, found an open spot in the valley, and lit a fire to pitch their tents. The mages also set up defensive enchantments and prepared to spend the night here.

Benjamin was flying in the air, alone, patrolling back and forth, and the system to confirm the safety of the area.

Well...... There is a monster lair to the east, but it doesn't have a nocturnal habit, so it shouldn't get in their way. Words of the West...... There seems to be a large demonic beast roaming around, it looks like a monkey, I have never seen it before, so let's go and destroy it first.

After a rough confirmation, Benjamin flew west, and a blizzard covered it, and with great skill, he froze the giant ape into a pile of ice slag.

In the past few days, he has done too much of this kind of work.

He picked through the ice slag, took some elemental materials, and prepared to go back to study. But at this moment, there was a strong wave of magic power from the camp, and Benjamin turned his head sharply, and the air seemed to detect anomalous activity of light elements.

At that moment, he chuckled in his heart.

"Oh no......"

He immediately flew back, and ten seconds later, saw the camp again.

At this moment, a large number of priests appeared above the camp out of nowhere, condensed holy light bullets in their hands, and smashed into the camp like raindrops. The mages in the camp had built an enchantment in the air to fend off their attacks, but they were already a little crumbling.

In the camp, the soldiers were already locked in a bitter battle. Paladins and Kingdom soldiers rushed out from all directions, surrounding the Black Nightmare Legion. Relying on the strong combat ability of the rune clans, they can barely resist the enemy's numerical superiority. But by this time, many people had already been injured and lying on the ground, and no one had the time to treat them.

And on the other side of the sky, Benjamin saw Grant.

Joanna was fighting with him, with a few mages on her side. However, even if it is a dozen, Grant has the absolute upper hand at the moment. As the holy light runes flickered, one after another filaments of light flew out, almost shattering the blazing phoenix flames.

Seeing this, Benjamin immediately rushed over there.

"I'll leave it to me, and you can help the rest. He instantly flew in front of Joanna, blocked the three-shot limit filament, and immediately turned his head and said this to several people.
