Chapter 2 The Danger of the Imperial Capital
"What did you say?" asked Sklell in shock before Benjamin could speak.
"The prince has staged a coup d'état, the whole city of Bucandirea has been closed to enter and exit, and all the city defenses have been opened. ”
"What about Sophia?" Benjamin only worries about Sophia's safety, and the rest is secondary.
"All the high-ranking members of the empire are trapped in the palace, and Sophia's message was interrupted halfway through, which should be the reason for the activation of the forbidden demon realm. Bederick had to tell the story, and then Christine rushed in in a hurry, and her beautiful little face had become extremely red at this time, not knowing whether it was because she was running too fast or for some other reason.
"What the hell is going on, my father lost contact after passing me an urgent message. As soon as she saw Benjamin and the others, Christine asked anxiously.
"What did Grand Duke Purple Moon say?" asked Benjamin.
"He said that the emperor was in danger and asked me to take over everything in the royal city as soon as possible, especially the army. The more Christine spoke, the more anxious she became: "What happened, didn't my father and Sister Sophia go to the imperial capital to find the emperor and talk about being crowned the king of the county, how could it suddenly become like this?"
"I also just received news from Sofia, the prince staged a coup d'état and trapped everyone in Bucandirea, Sofia should have sent a message that she wanted us to rush to the rescue as soon as possible. Benjamin's face also looked a little solemn at this moment, I am afraid that the situation is not optimistic when such news comes from the Grand Duke of Purple Moon.
"Huh, how could this happen?" asked Christine, who seemed a little unconvinced, "So what should I do now?"
"You first follow what your Grand Duke of Ziyue said, immediately rush back to Yasuore, you must control all the army in your own hands, let Ruoqing accompany you, and then bring those people from Bederick should be about the same, remember to execute on the spot if you encounter any resistance, don't be merciful, and rush to join you when we are ready." Kisa interjected at this time, after all, as a pope, he was also comfortable with this kind of thing, and knew how to deal with it at this time.
"Well, just do as Kiesa says. Benjamin didn't have a good idea in this matter, after all, he hadn't experienced this, and he felt at a loss for a while, but fortunately, there was no shortage of these talents around him, so Benjamin didn't seem too flustered at this time.
"But ......" Christine seemed to want to say something more, but soon she could see from her eyes that she knew what to do, so she nodded and said: "I know, I'll rush back with Sister Ruoqing and Béderick's people now, there shouldn't be any big problems on my side, but you better come as soon as you get ready, after all, Sister Sophia is still trapped in Bucandirea." ”
"Don't worry, we'll meet you soon. Benjamin saw Christine's attitude, and said with relief.
Christine didn't say anything more, turned around and walked away quickly, but at this time Kisa whispered to someone who he didn't know to say: "You follow secretly, if there is any threat, you deal with it yourself." ”
When the words fell, he vaguely saw a vague figure chasing after Christine, Benjamin knew that the figure was the assassin sent by the Holy See to assassinate him before, after being captured, Kiza helped him remove the prohibition that Carl left in his body, and thus became Kiza's personal guard, except for Benjamin, Ruoqing and Kiza, no one can usually perceive where he is, but I didn't expect that at this time, Kiza even sent him out, did the situation really become so tense?
"Sclair, in addition to the troops guarding Direano, how much can be mobilized?" Sclar, who is the head of the Knights of the New Church, is in charge of the troops, and at this time Benjamin asked, but before Sclair could answer, Benjamin's face changed, and he suddenly got up and walked towards a room in the temple, completely ignoring the surprised eyes of the other people in the regular meeting.
"What's going on?" asked Sclair, a little overwhelmed.
"I don't know, it seems like something is going to happen. Kisa said as he looked at Benjamin's back as he left in a hurry.
Suddenly, several people in the temple felt a strong momentum, and then their faces changed greatly, because they knew that this momentum was emitted by Benjamin who had left, and before they could understand it, there was a bang in the room that Benjamin entered, and then the door of the room turned into powder in an instant, and a strong black-red light shot out of the room.
At this time, Benjie obviously walked out of the room a little sluggish and a little embarrassed, looked at several people as if they were facing a great enemy, and said with a wry smile:
"There are people from the Holy See who have come into the city, and it shouldn't be weak, just now a touch of divine sense came in, I wanted to keep it, but I didn't expect him to choose to self-destruct very decisively, fortunately ......"
Benjamin didn't finish speaking, but a few people could guess from the traces on his body that the strength of this person who had been mixed in by the Holy See probably had to be at the level of an archbishop, otherwise the power of self-detonation and the release of divine consciousness would not be so great. Benjamin was also a little helpless, and he was also affected in a hurry, otherwise he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
"What?" Several people looked a little incredulous, but the fact that several people were not surprised and had to be a little worried, the people of the Holy See would appear here at this time, could it be related to the matter of the imperial capital?
At this moment, a hurried voice came from outside the temple: "My lord, there is an urgent military report. ”
"Come in. Sklell said, and soon a thin figure appeared in the hall, and before he could salute, Sklell asked, "What happened?"
"My lord, the news from the front is that the 150,000 combined forces of the Holy See and the Kipan tribe are coming in two directions towards the city of Direano and Yasore, according to the calculations of the scouts, one of the large armies will reach Yasore in five days, and the one army towards Direano is expected to arrive in ten days. The man said a little breathlessly.
"It seems that if this is the case, the affairs of the imperial capital are related to this expeditionary force, and the prince and the Holy See are probably premeditated. After hearing the news, Benjamin said with some disdain.
"I'm afraid it is, otherwise it wouldn't have been the case in the imperial capital, and the alliance between the Holy See and the tribe just appeared, I'm afraid it was arranged by the prince a long time ago and hidden in the territory of the empire, otherwise the speed of the army would not have reached its current position so fast. Sclair also said angrily.
"What is the distribution of the two armies?" asked Benjamin.
"The number of troops going to Yasore is 100,000, and the number that comes to Direano is 50,000. ”
"Exactly?" asked Kiza interjecting.
"Uh......" The soldier didn't expect to ask this, not to mention that the information sent by the scout in front did not specify the specific troop allocation, so he naturally couldn't answer it when asked at this time.
"I'm going to figure it out right away. Sclair said with some dissatisfaction, because these are things that are within his jurisdiction, and when such a big event happens at this time, he is completely unaware of the other party's situation, which is an extreme failure for Sklell.
"Yes. The soldier who delivered the message retreated with some trepidation.
"It seems that things are not so simple," Benjamin said to Sklell nervously as if he had reacted to something, "I must rush to Yasore as soon as possible, and I'll leave it to you here." ”
Sclair also understood that the safety of Yasuore should be the first priority, if Yasole was breached, the city of Direano would be completely isolated, and it would be impossible to resist the alliance of the Holy See and the Horde.
"Well, you rush to Yasuore as soon as possible, if you can hold Yasore, Direano will not be in any danger, after all, there are only 50,000 troops, there is nothing to be afraid of, and there is no problem at all in defending. ”
"If there is a strong person in the opponent's array, if you really can't give up the city and go to the temple area, unless the defense here is the God of Light in person, there should be no one who can break the ban. Benjamin explained to Sclair with some concern, and then he and Kisa hurriedly left and hurried to Yasore.
