So far, so good. Floating in the sky, Benjamin lowered his head and could even see the enthusiastic expressions on people's faces when they looked up to him.
There is no doubt that these people believed him.
Therefore, he did not intend to delay it any longer. Time waits for no one. Who knows what kind of preparations the church is making in another part of Regina. Although he still didn't quite understand the entire situation, what he did know was that the sooner the better, the better.
"The enemy has arrived at our doorstep. We have no choice." His tone sounded more determined. "There is only one last chance to save Ikol, and we must seize it. Otherwise, we will have to wander around in the future. Flee and die in pursuit of your enemies.”
"follow me!"
As he spoke, he kept his arms open and began to fly slowly towards the prison.
Among the crowd, some people showed fearful expressions, but most people still did not hesitate. They followed Benjamin and began to move quickly towards the Demonic Prison. From a certain perspective, no matter what their previous identities were, beggars, carpenters, businessmen, teachers... After experiencing this riot, they are already a group of desperadoes.
He was really timid and had already escaped during the riot. The remaining people, covered in blood, were determined to risk their lives at least once.
Therefore, they chose to listen to Benjamin.
Just like that, Benjamin flew forward at low altitude along the road. And around him, there was a large group of people in different costumes and ages, all covered in blood. With determination in their eyes, they followed Benjamin and walked forward.
Not long after walking, they met some patrolling soldiers on the road. However, when encountering this team of thousands of people, the soldiers in twos and threes were no match at all. With all kinds of grief and anger, the people swarmed forward and killed all the soldiers as before.
There were also soldiers who fled in panic, but they were directly killed by Benjamin in mid-air with magic. It was impossible for any of them to survive to inform the news.
He knew very well that if he wanted to rely on such a group of people to rob a prison, the other party could not be prepared at all. The soldiers in the square are incomparable to the prison. Benjamin had detected it before. Although the number of defenders in the Forbidden Prison was not in four figures, there should be three to four hundred people.
A mob numbering in the thousands, and an elite army of three to four hundred men. Even with the help of magic, Benjamin could not imagine how many of these people would survive in the end.
They had to use a sneak attack and release the imprisoned mages so that they could forcefully join the battle to ensure that the church's plan was disrupted and they lost control of Regina.
Benjamin also considered the fact that the church kidnapped family members and friends of the Mages Guild. But he only has so many people now, and he doesn't know where the hostages are being held. It's impossible for him to split up and help the mage rescue them. Therefore, he planned to lie to the mages after arriving in prison that all their relatives had been killed by the church, and use this method to provoke them to take action.
It feels like... another bloody storm is about to start.
There was no other way. In order to curb the church's conspiracy, he had to resort to this strategy. Otherwise, the church really has complete control over the situation, and those mages who are imprisoned will have no other end than death.
Thinking about it this way, I really worked hard to fight against the church. Even the several lighted water balloons floating high above him were maintained by him, keeping up with him all the way to prevent him from losing the "aura" that could intimidate thousands of people.
Benjamin couldn't help feeling a little helpless.
To be honest, although I don’t know what the Queen’s situation is, she is definitely making a lot of money this time.
With these rabble, Benjamin could only go to jail. Now is the time to take advantage of their hot-headedness. Over time, these people's minds will become distracted, and it is almost impossible to absorb them as subordinates. And the gang of mages in the prison are even less likely to obey Benjamin's command.
Because of this, he had no chance of taking Regina into his pocket. What we are doing now is just a last resort, to bring discomfort to the church and to strive for a better living space for the mages.
They were thinking about all kinds of problems - how to break the prison, how to gain some benefits in the process, how the situation will develop in the future, whether they have a way out, how to find an opening, and how to attack the church. At the same time, he had to find out Augustine and her motives from the blonde... Benjamin felt a lot of pressure. He had to think about all these problems in a short time.
To be honest, he is not Zhuge Liang. Moreover, even Zhuge Liang was at his wits' end in this complicated situation, with scarce information and time constraints.
He could only rack his brains and try his best to deal with these as well as possible.
In this way, thinking about these issues all the way, about half an hour later, Benjamin led thousands of people and approached the Demonic Prison.
He did not continue to fly in the sky, but also scattered the lighted water balloons, which would be too conspicuous and would attract soldiers. He just walked at the front of the team, leading such a large group of people to the raid spot he had planned on the road.
It was behind a large building complex. Thousands of people were hiding here without being discovered by the guards on the other side of the prison. Standing at the corner, Benjamin turned around and looked at the various faces staring at him. He couldn't help but clenched his fists and felt a surge of complicated emotions.
A group of ordinary people who were rushed to the square and surrounded by him, under his instigation, turned into an existence that was not like an army, and a bandit was not like a bandit. The next battle will be their first battle and also their last battle.
If nothing else, these old people and children in the team should be close to death.
Benjamin thought he should say something.
"There is a prison ahead. As long as you release the mages in the prison and tell them that all this is a conspiracy by the enemy, Ikol will be saved." After thinking about it, he said slowly, "Maybe in the past, you were just beggars. Businessmen, housewives, or cleaning up horse manure in the stable every day. But from today on, you are heroes."
Everyone looked at him blankly and made no response. Not to mention the people in the far back row. Benjamin didn't fly up. They couldn't even see Benjamin's face or hear what he was saying.
Seeing this, Benjamin was a little dazed, and suddenly he smiled to himself.
It's because he's worrying too much...
No matter what these people's intentions were, following him here was enough to show their determination.
Thinking of this, Benjamin turned back, took a deep breath, and suddenly raised his voice, just like the person who shouted the first voice in the square, he shouted hysterically: "Fuck the dog soldiers! Fight with them." Got it!"
As if familiar memories were activated, anger and determination emerged on people's faces again. They rushed out from the corner and rushed to the small house ahead.
Of course, the guards at the prison gate also heard this shout and were startled by the large group of people who suddenly rushed out. In a hurry, they gathered together in a panic, preparing to face this strange team that seemed to rush out of a pool of blood.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The shouts of soldiers and the roars of ordinary people kept echoing in the clear sky at noon.
Just when the two groups of people were about to collide, suddenly, an extremely loud horn sounded, as if it could penetrate people's eardrums, suppressing all sounds.
Benjamin was stunned.
Then, on the other side of the prison, another group of troops suddenly rushed out from another corner. Not only that, when they appeared, they were also accompanied by a somewhat familiar voice that was specially amplified by magic:
"Her Majesty the Queen has arrived! The rebels surrender! Her Majesty the Queen has arrived!"
Suddenly, a bad premonition came to Benjamin's heart.
He stopped charging and looked up in the direction of the sound.
I saw that the group of people were all riding horses, well-trained, and magnificent. Their gorgeous armors were shining in the sun. They looked completely different from the soldiers who were left behind in Regina.
The figure at the head seemed familiar to Benjamin.
-The Queen, who should still be entangled with the Royal Army at the Crusad Gate, suddenly returned to Regina for some unknown reason.
She sat on the horse at the front of the army, with a smile on her face that said "everything is under control", and led the army behind her towards the prison.
