Benjamin had never seen the bishop like that.
It should be said that he has never seen people in the church lose their temper to this extent - he has been against the church for more than a day or two, and many priests and paladins have died under his hands, including the one who was " Drum washing machine" for the dead priest. But... even the priest who was washed to death didn't look as glum as the current bishop.
After that particularly loud "bang", soon, a burst of hysterical yelling came from outside the iron door blocking the entrance. It was also at this time that Benjamin had the opportunity to learn a lesson in swear words in this world.
Therefore, he couldn't help but activate the water element induction method to sense the explosive mentality of the bishop outside.
In the blue world, he could feel that the entire left side of the bishop's face had begun to swell, and the originally spotless red priest's robe was now covered in mud. Coupled with the messy hair and distorted expression, the current bishop looks like a lunatic who has been locked up in a purification center for a long time.
He just cursed and stepped on the sealed entrance with his feet, without any trace of the aloof bishop he had been before.
How miserable…
Fortunately, except for Benjamin, no one can see the bishop's current appearance, otherwise, the bishop may not have the shame to continue to act like this.
Of course, after Benjamin observed the bishop with the water element induction method for a while, the bishop soon felt Benjamin's observation. Suddenly, he came back to his senses. After looking at his embarrassed appearance, the expression on his face became extremely wonderful.
He just squatted beside the sealed entrance, with an expression as if he had eaten something, and remained silent for about half an hour. Finally, he took a deep breath, managed to calm down, and stood up.
He did not leave, but tidied up his appearance and took off again. Under the night, he flew directly over the Crusad Gate and the border of the kingdom, and landed on the other side of the gate.
In this way, he blocked the exit of the door and used magic to carve a nearby large stone into a chair. He sat there and started praying, ready to sit there until the end of the world.
Apparently, after the initial emotional outburst, he regained his composure and realized clearly that there was no way he could break through the gate's defense. Therefore, he did the next best thing and chose to block the exit so that the mage inside the gate could not escape to Ikol.
"Sir Benjamin... now, what should we do?"
After hearing about the bishop's actions, many mages inside the gate had worried looks on their faces.
"It's getting late, let's go and rest first." Benjamin shook his head and said to them, "The Crusad gate is not that easy to break. Since he wants to fight a protracted war with us, then we will let them waste it. .”
He wanted to see whether it was the bishop who was more comfortable sitting in the chair, or whether they were more comfortable lying down on the bed
In this way, although the expressions of the mages were still a little worried, under Benjamin's persuasion, they felt at ease, found some better rooms in the gate, and went to sleep.
As for Benjamin, he squatted by the door again and observed for a while with the water element induction method. He found that there was no movement, so he went to rest.
Under the cold moonlight, the quiet fortress and the bishop sitting on the edge faced each other, as if they had become a static oil painting.
Probably more than an hour passed.
Finally, the original defenders of those gates also returned to Crewe Town sparsely.
After being ravaged by the griffons, their number was almost reduced by half, and the remaining half looked bruised and bruised. When they returned here, they crowded around the gate. Obviously, he also wanted to return to the gate and his usual bed. But unfortunately, they can't go back.
The entrances and exits on both sides of the current gate have been closed, and the entrance to the stairs at the top of the gate has also been closed. The whole thing is in a completely sealed state. A few unconvinced priests also chanted intermediate divine spells, and several giant swords of holy light were slashing at the door, which almost exhausted their own mental strength, but they failed to leave any trace on the door.
It was also at this time that they remembered that as long as all entrances and exits were sealed, the Crusad Gate would be almost impossible to break through.
In this way, after the initial anger, this group of homeless soldiers and priests had no choice but to set up camp in front of the Crusad gate in the middle of the night, adopting the same strategy as the bishop.
Such a big movement naturally attracted many residents of the town. However, no one dared to get close. They could only hide from a distance, watch, and whisper to each other.
"What happened? Is there going to be a war?"
"I don't know... But, did you see the line of writing on the top of the door before? I think the current situation must be related to that line of writing."
"I didn't see it, what's the word?"
"Oh, do you have to force me to say it? If someone else hears it... Forget it, come closer, I'll whisper to you, it's that... 'The church is really stupid'!"
"Oh, it turns out to be that 'church is really stupid'!"
"That's right, it's 'the church is so stupid'!"
“…”
They may not know what this is about, but they have also seen the words spelled out with flames. Therefore, the phrase "The church is so stupid" that appeared on the top of the gate became the most popular buzzword in Crewe Town, and was repeated countless times by all kinds of people.
If the people in the church found out, they would be very angry to death.
However, they probably have no time to care about what the people of Crewe Town and the church are saying right now. The Crusad Gate is the most important military fortress in the kingdom and is related to the safety of the entire country. And this inexplicable loss was definitely a major blow to the kingdom.
The news quickly spread throughout the kingdom, and the royal capital immediately sent a large army to the border. The holy knights who had been gathering towards the royal capital also turned their horses and rushed to Crewe Town. In the churches nearby, in addition to the bishops who stayed behind, all the other priests also set out, vowing to help the kingdom regain control of the Crusad Gate.
But... did they do it
not at all.
As a military fortress that existed before the establishment of the Kingdom, the gate was fortified once under each generation of popes after the establishment of the Kingdom. In addition, each generation of popes will use magical blessings on the gate. Over time, the strength of Crusad's gate has reached a level that no one can imagine.
At first, the church gathered hundreds of priests, chanted divine spells, and tried to force the door open, but in vain. Later, they brought in artillery and prepared to blast the door open with the blessed shells. However, under the bombardment of three artillery pieces, the gate remained unscathed. When the artillery battalion commander saw this scene, he almost pulled his Mediterranean into Wu Ke.
As a result, the whole scene reached a deadlock.
The kingdom's troops are still being mobilized here, and there are more and more people in Crewe Town. Many soldiers climbed up to the top of the gate, climbed over to the other side of the gate, and camped with the bishop, completely surrounding the entire gate...
However, if we are surrounded, so what
They were like facing a ten-thousand-year-old turtle that had shrunk into its shell. They didn't know how to start. Moreover, when they looked back, they realized that this old turtle shell was made by themselves.
Thinking of this, the bishop was almost so angry that he couldn't sleep for several days.
In this way, the people outside the gate racked their brains, thinking of how to break through the gate. But this matter was too difficult, so time was dragged on day by day.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and they still couldn't come up with any good solution.
So, what about the people inside the gate
"Hmm... It is indeed high-grade wheat, and the baked bread tastes good. And this beef, although it has been stored for a long time, it was well preserved with ice cubes. It still feels very fresh and tender when you eat it now."
After another magic discussion class, more than twenty mages gathered in a small church that they had transformed into a restaurant, eating beef carefully kept in the warehouse, drinking wine hidden under the general's bed, and talking like this road.
