The leader of the rebel army was stunned.
"You... who are you?"
He probably never imagined that when they were in the middle of killing people, a talkative guy would jump out, subdue everyone with a magic, and then run up to them and say such things to them.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is, what do you want?" Benjamin spread his hands and smiled, "Let me ask you, do you really hate Stuart?"
The rebels looked confused, but after hesitation, they nodded.
"In that case, don't do what you are doing now." Benjamin patted the other party's shoulder that was trapped by the ice and said, "As a weak person, you must take advantage of all favorable conditions as much as possible, take the enemy by surprise, and use various means to defeat the enemy. You have to be exhausted. What you are doing now is of no use except to vent some emotions in your heart. Instead, it will make you fall into death."
“…”
The surrounding rebels were stunned.
What is this mage doing
Could it be that... he was teaching them how to rebel
These people are completely confused about the situation.
"Master Mage, otherwise... why don't you let us out first? We are here to listen to what you have to say!" The leader looked confused, but at the same time, he also saw hope of survival. Benjamin was obviously not from the newly established Mages Guild, otherwise he wouldn't have talked so much nonsense with them and killed them directly.
Freed from the despair of death, they felt a little bit lucky while being confused.
However, Benjamin shook his head and let out a cold snort.
"If you want to study, just show up as a student. What do you want with so many demands?" He suddenly condensed an ice ruler, slapped it on the rebel's hand, and said while hitting it, "I am doing this all for Hello everyone. If I don’t show up, you will definitely die very quickly, and you will have no value at all. "
The rebel leader was caught off guard and almost screamed.
However, Benjamin is clearly the one who has the upper hand and does whatever he wants. Therefore, he did not dare to complain. He could only curl up his palms and nodded tremblingly.
But in my heart...
The leader was on the verge of tears at the moment.
After all, he is also the leader of the rebels. Even if he is not very powerful, he usually acts like a tough guy and is not afraid of anything. Otherwise, he would not rebel. As a result, today, he met such a mage. Why did he become so useless
However, not only him, but the lives of the entire team were firmly held in the opponent's hands and played with at will. Therefore, he seemed to have no other choice but to give in.
At least... the other party doesn't seem to really want to kill them.
"Master Mage, what do you want?" He took a deep breath and asked.
Benjamin glanced at them coldly and said, "Do you realize? In less than five days, Stewart's army will come to surround you."
Suddenly, everyone was stunned again.
"... Are you telling the truth?"
"Why should I lie to you? When you showed up, you did not seal off the entire town. Now that someone in the town has escaped, the news will be spread to Xuedi City soon." Benjamin said slowly, "Especially because you want to kill the mayor. After killing the mayor, even if things get serious, the higher-ups will definitely send people over as quickly as possible."
The leader was silent for a moment and then said: "We will flee to Carites."
Benjamin replied coldly: "They can also send mages and assassins to kill you all, unless you hide your names and escape as far as you can. But... If you really want to escape like this, what's the point of resisting now?" "
"I... I don't know."
"What can we do to affect Stuart's status? What can we do to leave a way out for ourselves? What can we do to make your team grow rapidly? As the leader of these people, have you ever thought about these issues?"
"...I haven't thought about it."
"Okay! Okay! Then your whole life will be like this, or you will die in the hands of the army, and your body will be hung at the city gate for everyone to watch; or else you will run away with your head in your arms, and you will never get close to Freden again for the rest of your life. You guys Are you willing for the rest of your life to be like this?"
"We... are not willing to give in."
"Very good." After asking this, Benjamin finally smiled again, "You are not at the point of hopelessness yet, seize the opportunity, maybe you can still get a bite out of Stewart."
Hearing this, the rebel leader was also a little stunned.
"what chance?"
Benjamin approached him and whispered: "You can control the town, and then force the mayor to write a letter to Xuedi City before the news reaches Xuedi City, saying that there is a bandit attack in the town. .”
"B-bandits?"
Benjamin nodded and continued: "Isn't there a hilltop to the west? From Xuedi City to that hilltop, you have to pass through a narrow valley. As long as the mayor calls him a bandit, the higher ups won't take it seriously and send eight hundred people. The army is holding up the sky. But in that valley, there is no need for me to teach you what to do with gunpowder, falling rocks, traps, right?"
Listening to Benjamin's words, the leader was stunned.
At that moment, it was as if lightning flashed through his mind.
"Um... can we ambush the army?" he asked somewhat incoherently.
"Why not?" Benjamin shrugged and said, "The army is not as powerful as you think. As long as they are adequately prepared, they are no different from the soldiers you tied up in this town."
Hearing this, the leader fell into silence.
He didn't know how long he was silent. Suddenly, he took a deep breath and swallowed with determination. The expression on his face also changed again and again, from fear at the beginning, to confusion later, and finally, to thinking as if he had found his direction.
He even seemed to have forgotten that he was still trapped by Benjamin and in danger, and instead began to think about one thing wholeheartedly.
Seeing this, Benjamin also showed a satisfied smile.
[The leader who induced rebellion] mission has been completed! At this moment, the other party was already thinking about how to ambush the troops sent by Xuedi City.
interesting.
Benjamin was still a little angry about being used by Stewart and the Prime Minister. It was just because there was a church waiting for them to destroy that they were ready to leave Frieden and not care about Stewart and the others.
But... He doesn't care about it, but he can let people care about it for him.
These rebels were originally a bunch of headless flies. If Benjamin didn't do anything, they would be close to death. In this case, why don't they create a little more trouble for Stewart
He didn't expect these people to really subvert Stewart - it would be enough to make the guy who deceived him suffer a little more. Of course, if this group of people suddenly became enlightened after his guidance, Benjamin would naturally watch the excitement and not think it was a big deal.
In short, he was just sowing some seeds before leaving Frieden. Of course it would be best if it could germinate. Even if it couldn't germinate, it wouldn't be a waste of his efforts, right
Thinking this, Benjamin glanced at the people around him again. At this moment, people were hiding in their homes and watching, and could not hear clearly what they said. Therefore, they won't have much of an impact on Benjamin or the rebels.
However, looking at the next scene, people's expressions were still very confused.
-At that moment, they were stunned and could only see Benjamin suddenly clapped his hands, and all the ice bushes melted instantly and disappeared without a trace.
Not long after the rebels were controlled, they were released again.
However, what confused the onlookers even more was that after these rebels regained their freedom, their attitudes towards the mage were completely different. Not fear, nor hostility anymore, but a kind of trembling respect.
Everyone was puzzled. The soldier who was tied up at the street corner had his jaw almost dropped to the ground, not knowing what was going on.
Only the mages living in the hotel opened the curtains and looked at this scene with knowing smiles.
"Lord Benjamin's hobby... is really special." Tony shook his head helplessly and sighed.
