After Bishop Victor died, Benjamin and the others spent less than ten minutes on the remaining work.
Under siege by hundreds of mages, the priest and paladin were unable to resist and were quickly burned to ashes by the fireball. As for the soldiers, when the giant swords clashed with the flames, they had already been roasted to pieces, leaving them dead and mutilated. In order to prevent the news from being revealed, Benjamin had to give them a happy surprise.
In short, it was fun to take down the bishop, but at this moment, it was not the time to take it lightly.
"We need to get out of here quickly."
After taking care of the battlefield, Benjamin faced the mages and spoke.
After this battle, the mages looked at Benjamin with completely different eyes.
-When they fell into despair, Benjamin stood up, reversed the entire situation, and killed the bishop in a crushing manner. If they had all doubts before, at this moment, they were completely convinced of Benjamin.
They firmly believe that if there is one person who can bring down the church, then that person must be the mage in front of them.
"We will go wherever you say we will go." someone replied.
Looking at everyone, Benjamin felt the admiration that suddenly surged towards him. He smiled, shook his head and said, "It's nothing... We have to rush to Xuedi City now."
He originally wanted to explain the reason. However, he found that he didn't seem to need to explain. The mages had already nodded and started preparing to set off without any objection.
When Benjamin saw this, he was a little helpless.
He really couldn't adapt to this, and he started to feel a bit superstitious and a personality cult.
But...just go, time is running out. By killing the bishop, they had pushed Frieden to the most critical intersection. What the future holds depends on how much they can do in these few days.
—Once the news of the bishop’s death spreads, who knows what will happen
Therefore, after hastily packing up the loot, Benjamin took the mages and flew into the heavy rain at night, heading towards Xuedi City. This devastated valley entrance was just left behind by them, drifting away.
Flying in mid-air.
"Have you decided what to do next?" the system suddenly asked.
"I haven't thought it through completely, but... Xuedi City is definitely the most critical place at the moment." Benjamin sighed and replied in his heart, "The bishop has mobilized a lot of power in order to surround and kill me. At this moment, inside Xuedi City It should be relatively empty. If we can occupy the palace, the next thing will be much easier."
"You are quite ambitious."
Benjamin shook his head.
That's what he thought, but he also knew that there were too many variables in the process.
He didn't know what was going on inside the palace. Did the bishop have any backup plan? How many priests are left in the city? Do they have any special means to learn about the bishop's death
Benjamin knew too little to come up with a foolproof plan. Therefore, he could only rush over first and observe the situation before talking.
What if there was another bishop hiding in the palace, or Aldrich faked his death or something... There were all kinds of possibilities, and he couldn't even imagine what would happen next. It can only be said that the church should not have accumulated so much power in Freeden, otherwise, this country would have been theirs long ago.
I hope... I hope the church has been forced to use up all its cards.
Nothing goes unexpectedly. Benjamin only needs to occupy the palace, either kill the royal family directly and launch a coup; or hold the queen hostage and control the government. In short, with the help of those corrupt officials and using Frieden's political power, it shouldn't be too difficult to eliminate the remaining forces of the church.
In this way, Benjamin rushed towards Xuedi City while calculating the next development. In the night rain, Freden remained calm, and most people fell asleep, not knowing what shocking changes had happened in this country.
Early the next morning, they rushed to Xuedi City.
However, when he saw the capital for the first time, Benjamin's heart skipped a beat.
Outside the city, soldiers were camping everywhere. The continuous military tents were like mushrooms that suddenly appeared after the rain, surrounding the entire Xuedi City. Benjamin and his group didn't even dare to fly too close, so they could only land far away and then approach quietly.
"how so?"
Morris said helplessly: "The church already has a cross that can show life and death. The cross should have broken into pieces when the bishop died. The people in the church learned the news, so they simply mobilized the army to protect Sheidi City."
When Benjamin heard this, he also felt a sense of regret.
What a pity... The church reacted so quickly and killed the bishop in the middle of the night yesterday. They immediately realized what happened and even expected that Benjamin would raid Snowdy City and bring such a large group of troops over.
I don’t know what the situation is like in the city now…
After thinking about it, Benjamin was still unwilling to turn around and leave. The bishop had just died, and the church was so panicked that it mobilized an army to protect the capital. This shows that there must be a mess inside Xuedi City now.
For them, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"You should take everyone to stay nearby, and I'll go over and inquire."
"Aren't you afraid of danger?" Morris asked.
Benjamin smiled and said, "Don't worry, they won't recognize me."
As he spoke, he used his usual trick to disguise himself and look like a young hunter. A hunter who originally lived in Xuedi City went out hunting a few days ago and saw a large army when he came back. It's normal to go up and ask about the situation, isn't it
Probably because he killed the bishop, his prestige was very high at the moment. Morris hesitated for a moment and did not object again.
So, Benjamin walked out of the forest, got into character, frowned, and slowly walked towards the nearest military camp to them.
"Stop! Who are you?" Soon, a soldier came out and stopped him.
Benjamin showed a confused expression and said: "I live in Xuedi City. I just went hunting a few days ago. How... why did it become like this when I came back? Brother, what happened?"
"The announcement has just been issued. We are not allowed to enter the city for the time being. You can stay outside for a few more days. It will be reopened soon." The soldier replied coldly.
"Announcement? What announcement? I've been staying in the mountains these past few days, and I really don't know what happened. Brother, please do your best and tell me what happened!"
The soldier heard this, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.
"Forget it...it's not a secret in the first place, so it's okay to tell you." He suddenly puffed up his chest and showed a rather proud expression, "The church and the royal family were in cahoots, and Cholera Freden has been killed. Just last night. , General Stewart and Prime Minister Pace launched a coup, occupied the palace, re-enacted the ban on the church, and hanged all the rebellious officials and traitors!"
