Benjamin began traveling non-stop across the country.
Not only in Lant City, but also in areas where most mages are active, the prototypes of resistance organizations are gradually beginning to emerge. Just like Aiden and Norman, they respect Benjamin like an enlightenment teacher and are eager to join this larger resistance force.
In this way, half a month later, more than a dozen cities came down, and this underground resistance organization like a spider web gradually took shape in Freden.
The elder mages under him became the contact persons in each city. They secretly compiled the list of members and gave them to Benjamin. In order to prevent the list from being exposed, every ordinary member does not have the right to watch. After all the lists were stored in the system's database, Benjamin destroyed them without leaving any trace.
In Benjamin's mind, the system was constantly coordinating and organizing, marking each member's name, information, and magic skills, and even made a table for easy management.
"Congratulations, you are now the leader of the largest mage organization in Freden. There are a total of 437 mages under your command, with strongholds spread across 32 large, medium and small cities." The system reported to him.
"These are completely two different things." Benjamin shook his head and sighed, "Most of the people here don't even know who I am. I can command them, but once a conflict really breaks out, I don't know what's going on. How many people are left?"
This kind of rapid growth did not make him feel that it was so remarkable.
It was only because of the church that they gathered together, and it had little to do with Benjamin's ability. If the situation changes, this huge organization may collapse in an instant.
Moreover, even with these more than 400 people, there is still a certain distance between them and the church.
During these days, the church, which had been standing still, slowly sent out priests again to continue their missionary activities. Only this time, they became much more low-key. Guards are placed around the residence to prevent assassination from happening again. They no longer drag an individual to start preaching, they choose their targets very carefully, and they just walk around when they meet a mage.
It seemed that they were frightened by Benjamin. But Benjamin couldn't help but have a headache when faced with their cautious actions.
Contacts in various cities conveyed his orders to disrupt as much as possible the missionary plans of the priests. But the church was acting extremely cautiously, and they couldn't expose themselves, so there was still too little they could do.
Therefore, Benjamin could not focus on dealing with the church, but worked harder to expand himself.
"Can you make this kind of magic prop that can transmit information over long distances?"
In Border Desert City, he and Morris met in the city lord's official residence and asked seriously.
Morris has already assembled the desert reclusive mages and brought them into Benjamin's team. Although not all reclusive mages were convinced by him, the seventy or eighty absolutely credible people were still very trustworthy.
At this moment, Benjamin simply handed over the management of Border Desert City to Morris, and asked him to select talented people from civilians here to help train them into mages. At the same time, he could also make some magic props that Benjamin needed.
Just like now, the entire organization has just taken shape, and the transmission of information is basically through letters, which is not ideal in terms of efficiency or security. Someone else's underground party could at least send a telegram. Benjamin thought of the church's small beads that conveyed messages, so he made this request to Morris.
"You are referring to the Eye of God." Morris thought for a moment and said, "It can transmit images and sounds in real time within a certain range, but it is a one-time consumable and its range is only a few kilometers. Do you want to use it to It’s impossible for the entire Frieden to communicate.”
Benjamin felt a little disappointed when he heard this.
It turns out that the church’s technology has not advanced to that extent.
"Then... are there any alternatives?" He asked again, "There is no need to transmit images, as long as there is sound, the range is large enough, and it can be transmitted within half a day."
He doesn’t need WeChat real-time video calls, a simple version of Telegram is enough.
"This is okay." Morris finally nodded and said, "A magic prop named 'Echo of God' by the church can achieve long-distance sound transmission. In fact, now, they also use it to transmit messages everywhere. this."
When Benjamin heard this, he slammed the table.
"That's it! Just do as much as you can, and someone will definitely supply you with the materials. As long as you can ensure that every stronghold across the country can be connected to each other, that's enough."
Just kidding, the church is using it, how can they fall behind
Morris nodded in agreement.
"By the way... Based on your understanding of the church's magic prop technology, what other things are they using that you think we might be able to use?" Benjamin thought for a while and asked again.
After finally having a technical talent, he had to maximize Morris' role in this area.
Benjamin has had people copy the other party's production drawings and books so that those in the team who are interested in this can learn from them. There are now many of his logistics mages gathered in Bianmo City. Those who refine potions, make magic props, farm... And coupled with the gradual development of civilian magic schools, this remote town is now like his logistics base.
However, it is still a bit fanciful to expect that this place will suddenly exert its strength and provide him with a large number of talents.
Just like now, Benjamin has needs for magic props, and he can only ask Morris to make something for him while teaching.
"A lot, but if you ask me to do it, I definitely can't do it." Morris spread his hands, looking a little helpless, "If there are enough manpower, time and materials, I can equip each of you with an automatic trigger. Life-saving props, flight acceleration props, range magic wave sensing props, mental power boosting props... However, in this case, we still have to make some choices."
"Then let's do the one that can convey the message first. The rest will depend on the situation. We can do it when we have time." Benjamin said with some regret, "But first, give me a magic prop that can accelerate flight. I need this kind of thing very much now." .”
It's not that he is dissatisfied with his speed, it's just that he has become the leader of this organization. Every busy thing is to run around, meet all kinds of people, and find ways to enhance the cohesion of the team. , obtain information, analyze the situation, and make decisions.
Therefore, the bonus of actual combat ability does not seem to be that important to him.
"I have one here, give it to you directly." After hearing this, Morris took out a dark wooden block from his arms and handed it to Benjamin.
Benjamin took it and felt the breeze spontaneously surrounding him, as if his whole body had become lighter by more than ten kilograms. So, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you." He made a salute gesture and said with a smile.
"This is what I should do." Morris shook his head and suddenly sighed, "You know what? At first, I thought you got here because of your strong personal strength and unwillingness to admit defeat, but After joining you, I found that your mind is clearer than the average person."
"...Is there any?" Benjamin smiled sheepishly when he heard this.
"Yes." Morris nodded and said, "Most people will be confused for a while when they start to do these things, and gradually they will know what to do. But you... you have a complete plan from the beginning, with all the details. The scruples are the same as where you learned these things."
When Benjamin heard this, he smiled and said nothing.
And in the heart.
… No, he just learned that in history class.
At this moment, he realized that as a time traveler, his biggest advantage was not the cheating system, but the concepts cultivated by modern education.
And a well-trained thick skin.
