"Your Majesty the Queen." At the edge of Ikol's camp, Benjamin and his more than 20 mages saluted politely, "Please forgive us for being rude. We have stayed here for so long, so we will not hinder Your Majesty." The army is here, I wish your Majesty a great victory."
The queen looked at Benjamin, and her stunned expression gradually returned to calm.
Benjamin and his group had not shown up until just now, when the bishop from the kingdom and the mage team from Ikol came to the top of the gate, they were belatedly arriving.
And the way they appeared surprised everyone present.
Just now, the long and narrow corridor was crowded with soldiers from both sides. It was so dark that it was impossible to see what was going on inside. However, after a while, a huge stream of water suddenly appeared from nowhere and swept the soldiers in the corridor around.
Benjamin and the mage team also followed the current and blasted open the side door of the corridor. Each holding a wooden board, they rushed into the swaying soldiers.
It was quite a magical scene. Each mage also recited the water ball spell in his mouth, summoning water balls one after another to form a larger water flow. As for Benjamin, it was even more the case. With a casual flick, it was a huge water ball with no side visible, hitting the soldiers in the corridor so hard that they couldn't open their eyes.
It felt like a big river suddenly emerged out of thin air in the corridor. The soldiers fell down and were swept over their heads by the river. The mages stepped on the wooden planks and rushed outside with the force of the turbulent river.
Everyone was stunned.
-The priest on the other side of the kingdom was stunned and forgot the bishop's order. He didn't have time to use magic to stop them. The queen on Iker's side showed a strange look and whispered to a mage next to her: "What kind of magic is this? Is the wooden board under their feet some long-lost magic prop?"
The mage who was asked could only widen his eyes and shake his head. Facing the more than twenty people who came on the "wave", he replied with a blank expression: "I... I don't know either."
Probably the scene in front of them was a bit beyond their cognitive scope, and Benjamin and his group appeared suddenly, catching them off guard. So no one responded. Benjamin and his group just stepped on the wooden plank, followed the rapid water flow he summoned, rushed out of the gate, and finally landed at the edge of Ikol's camp.
Of course, the way they "landed" was quite embarrassing.
Although they had rehearsed privately before the official action, they were not surfing geniuses and could not master it all at once. So after they rushed out of the door, the water dispersed and they fell to the ground with a clanking clang. Fortunately, there were more of them and they acted as cushions for each other, so no one was injured.
However, the way they stumbled and "landed" still made everyone in the Ikol camp a little confused.
The side door was blasted open, and more than twenty people rushed out in unison, stepping on the water. The whole scene was quite impressive, and everyone who witnessed this scene was also shocked.
However, even this group of majestic and high-spirited guys fell into a pile as soon as they rushed out of the gate, like a bunch of drunk ducks, and their momentum was completely gone. This strong contrast made the onlookers feel as if they were being choked by something, and they were unable to speak even a single word.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" the mage next to her asked, reluctantly closing her chin.
"It's better... let's wait and see for a while." The queen had a strange expression on her face, as if she had a burp in her stomach but couldn't get it out. She held it in for a long time before she said this.
Soon, the remaining mages of Icol gathered in front of the queen, staring at Benjamin and his party, as if they were afraid that this strange group of mages would pull out something strange and hurt the queen.
The entire camp suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere became a little strange.
"Ahem... that." Benjamin got up from the ground, straightened his appearance, cleared his throat, looked around, took a thousand steps, and then said, "Your Majesty, please forgive us for being rude. We are staying here. After such a long time, I won’t disturb His Majesty’s army. I wish Your Majesty a successful victory.”
With that said, he and the twenty or so mages behind him turned around, as if they were ready to run away quickly.
"this… "
The mages guarding the queen looked at each other with strange expressions.
"Wait a minute." However, the Queen seemed to have come to her senses at this time, and suddenly said, "What's the hurry? We just met and are leaving. I still have something to say."
As she spoke, she winked at the mages under her, and then several mages stepped forward to block the way of Benjamin and his party.
When Benjamin saw this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
really…
Fortunately, he had been alert and made such a trick before escaping from the gate, otherwise, the current situation might have become very difficult.
In fact, he had been thinking about what obstacles they would encounter on their way out of the gate. There was no doubt about it on the Bishop's side. Just look at the loud noise he made when he hit the iron door. The Bishop hated them so much that he couldn't let Benjamin go no matter what.
Therefore, if they want to escape, they must first lure the bishop away.
In addition, Benjamin was thinking about how to deal with the people on Ikol's side.
Although everyone is a mage, there is nothing special about it, but judging from the process of establishing the country of Iker, this queen's ambition is definitely not small. More than twenty mages were actually a strategic resource. If the queen had a large number of people and wanted to force them to stay, there was nothing they could do.
So, after comprehensive consideration, Benjamin came up with such a solution.
After the mage occupied the gate before, he captured all the soldiers who were left guarding the gate. Originally, Benjamin had some headaches about how to deal with these prisoners, but after thinking about it, these prisoners were simply their perfect bait.
First of all, when none of them appeared, a group of people suddenly appeared on top of the gate. The bishop would definitely think that this was Benjamin and they were trying to escape using flight. Therefore, even if the bishop knew that the people above were wearing Kingdom uniforms, he would definitely fly up to confirm. In this way, the bishop was led away by them.
Secondly, these prisoners were originally Kingdom soldiers. The people on Ikol's side must have become anxious as soon as they found out. You know, they brought so many people to seize the gate, and if they were taken back by the kingdom in the blink of an eye, where would the queen's prestige lie? Therefore, the Queen will definitely send someone up. And the only ones who can reach the top of the gate in a short time are mages.
In this way, Benjamin used a group of useless prisoners to lure away the bishop and temporarily weaken the strength gap between Ikol and them. Killing two birds with one stone, it was simply... perfect!
He couldn't help but think narcissistically.
"What's so proud about this? The prisoners have always been there. Isn't it hard to think of using them to attract attention?" The system suddenly appeared and complained mercilessly.
"Ever since you found out that your body has a big background, you seem to be getting more and more jumpy?" Suddenly, Benjamin felt helpless and said in his heart, "Your skin is itchy again? No matter how powerful the creatures from another world are, they have to wait for you to hatch them. Be more awesome."
However, the system replied blankly: "It doesn't matter, you can fuck me as much as you like. Real warriors are not afraid of any hardships. Come on, kick me twenty times like a football coach. I don't mind." .”
“…”
This system is hopeless.
Benjamin sighed helplessly in his heart, and his attention quickly returned to reality. In reality, he looked at the mages blocking their way, turned his head, and looked calmly at the queen on the high platform.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if there is anything else I can do for you? If not, we are ready to take the first step."
