After the death of Bishop Victor, the rest of the handling work, Benjamin took them less than ten minutes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Under siege by hundreds of mages, the priest and paladin were powerless to resist and were soon burned to ashes by the fireball. As for the soldiers, when the greatsword clashed with the flames, they had already been roasted to pieces, dead and crippled. In order to prevent the news from being revealed, Benjamin had to give them a good time.
In short, it is pleasant to take the bishop down, but at this moment, it is not yet time to take it lightly.
"We need to get out of here. β
After dealing with the battlefield, Benjamin faced the mages and spoke.
And after this battle, the eyes of the mages looking at Benjamin are completely different.
-- In the midst of their despair, Benjamin stepped forward, turned the whole situation around, and killed the bishop in a crushing manner. If before, they still had all the doubts in their hearts, now they are completely convinced of Benjamin.
They firmly believe that if there is one person who can take down the church, then this person must be the mage in front of them.
"Wherever you say, we'll go. Someone replied.
Looking at everyone, Benjamin felt the admiration that suddenly surged towards him, smiled, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing...... We're going to head to Shelly City now. β
He would have liked to explain why. However, he found that he didn't seem to need to explain, and the mages had already nodded their heads and began to prepare to go, without any objections.
Seeing this, Benjamin was also a little helpless.
He really couldn't get used to this, and he began to feel a little superstitious and personality cult.
But...... Let's go, time is pressing. By killing the Bishop, they had already pushed Freden to a most critical juncture. The future will depend on how much they can do in the next few days.
-- Once the news of the bishop's death gets out, who knows what will happen?
So, hastily packing up the loot, Benjamin took the mages and flew into the night rain in the direction of Shelly City. This devastated valley mouth was left behind by them and gradually drifted away.
Fly in mid-air.
"Have you figured out what you're going to do next?" the system suddenly asked.
"I didn't quite think about it, but ...... Shelly City is definitely the most crucial place at the moment. Benjamin sighed and replied in his heart, "The Bishop has drawn up quite a lot of strength to besiege me. At this moment, the interior of Xuedi City should be relatively empty. If we can take the palace, the rest will be much easier. β
"You're not a little ambitious. β
Benjamin shook his head.
I think so, but he also knows that there are too many variables in between.
He didn't know what was going on inside the palace. Did the bishop have any behind?How many priests were left in the city?Did they have any special means to learn about the bishop's death?
Benjamin knew too little to think of a foolproof plan. Therefore, he could only rush over first and observe the situation.
What if there is another bishop hiding in the palace, or Aldrich is faking his death...... With all kinds of possibilities, he didn't even dare to imagine the next development. It can only be said that the church should not have accumulated so much power in Fredon, otherwise, the country would have been theirs long ago.
I hope so...... Hopefully, the church has been forced to run out of cards.
All it is not surprising that Benjamin only needs to occupy the palace, either kill the royal family directly and launch a coup d'Γ©tat, or hijack the queen and control the government. In short, with the help of those corrupt officials, it should not be too difficult to use Freden's political power to eliminate the remaining power of the church.
In this way, Benjamin calculated the next development as he hurried towards Shelly City. In the night rain, Freedon was still calm, and most of the people fell asleep, not knowing what had happened to the country.
Early the next morning, they arrived at the city of Xuedi.
However, the first time he saw the capital, Benjamin chuckled in his heart.
I saw that outside the city, there were soldiers encamped everywhere, and the continuous military tents were like mushrooms that suddenly turned their heads after the rain, surrounding the entire Xuedi City. Benjamin and his party didn't even dare to fly too close, so they could only land in the distance now, and then quietly approach.
"How so?"
Morris said helplessly: "The church has a cross that can show life and death. It was supposed that when the bishop died, the cross broke by itself, and the church had to know the news, so they simply mobilized troops to protect the city of Snowy. β
When Benjamin heard this, he also felt a pang of regret.
It's a pity...... The reaction of the church was so fast, killing the bishop in the middle of the night last night, they immediately realized what was happening, and even expected that Benjamin would raid the city of Shelly and pull such a large army over.
I don't know what's going on in the city right now......
After thinking about it, Benjamin was still unwilling to turn around and leave. The bishop had just died, and the church was even panicked enough to mobilize an army to protect the capital. This shows that there must be a mess inside Xuedi City now.
For them, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"You guys take everyone to stay around first, and I'll go over and inquire. β
"You...... Aren't you afraid of danger?" asked Morris.
Benjamin smiled and said, "Don't worry, they won't recognize me." β
As he spoke, he began to use his usual tricks, disguised himself, and made himself look like a young hunter. A hunter who originally lived in Xuedi City, went out hunting a few days ago, and when he came back, he saw a large army, and it was normal to ask thousands of questions, isn't it?
Probably because he killed the bishop, his prestige was very high. Morris hesitated for a moment, but did not object further.
So, Benjamin came out of the woods, entered the character, frowned, and slowly walked towards the nearest barracks.
"Stop, who are you?" Soon, a soldier came out and stopped him.
Benjamin showed a confused expression and said, "I live in Xuedi City, and I just went out hunting a few days ago, how can I ...... How did you come back like this? What happened to this big brother?"
"The announcement has just been issued, and now you are not allowed to enter the city for the time being, you can stay outside for a few more days, and it will reopen soon. The soldier replied coldly.
"Announcement? What announcement? I've been in the mountains for the past few days, and I really don't know what's going on. This big brother, you should do it and tell me what happened!"
When the soldier heard this, he hesitated, but finally opened his mouth.
"Forget it...... It's not a secret, so it doesn't hurt to tell you. He suddenly straightened his chest and showed a rather proud expression, "The church and the royal family are in cahoots, and the cholera Freden has now been ambushed." Just last night, General Stewart and Prime Minister Pace staged a coup d'Γ©tat, seized the palace, and hanged all the rebels and thieves!"
