Myers' efficiency is good. That afternoon, he returned to his temporary stronghold in the Kandela Mountains and told Benjamin the news he had learned from outside.
"The substitute thing has most likely been implemented." He walked into the tent, shook his head, and said with a helpless expression, "Glory is very calm. I can't go deep into the palace, but I can take a general look. It was also very calm, as if nothing happened.”
When Benjamin heard this, he just nodded without showing too much disappointment.
After all, I was mentally prepared.
"Besides this, what else did you find out? No matter if it seems useful or not, try to tell me. I need some inspiration." Benjamin asked.
Miles also nodded and said: "There is another news that I originally planned to tell you - the church has fewer manpower in Glory, and... they have more manpower around this area."
…Manpower
Benjamin's heart sank.
"Is the church coming to suppress us?" he asked immediately.
"I don't rule out other possibilities. However, the church is also very aware of the fact that you hid in the Kandela Mountains." Myers spread his hands and said, "They should be unfamiliar with the environment in the mountains, so they did not act rashly. But... they always It will take action one day.”
When Benjamin heard this, he sighed and nodded.
Indeed, the Kandla Mountains have never been a place to stay for long.
Not to mention the large number of monsters here, they must have people around to keep watch 24 hours a day, otherwise they are likely to be attacked. And now, people from the church are about to gather around.
—Those people are coming to "suppress the bandits."
Benjamin also knew very well that they could not stay in the mountains any longer, otherwise, they would really be no different from bandits.
"Help me gather people, we have to change our base." Therefore, he immediately spoke and said.
Miles frowned: "Where do you want to go?"
Benjamin took a deep breath and said slowly: "Go to the prairie to the north."
Miles was stunned for a moment, but it didn't matter to him. He nodded and turned around and left the tent.
In this way, the situation outside was confirmed, and Benjamin made a new decision. The poor mountains and rivers were not a good place. They had to move to the grassland quickly before the church people surrounded them.
Returning to the prairie—this was not a rash decision that came up in a few minutes. Benjamin had been thinking about it for a long time.
To move to the grassland, they had to give up a lot of things, but he had his own reasons.
First of all, the living customs on the grasslands are completely different from those in towns. The church has zero penetration there, so there is no need to worry about being discovered by spies. If they hide in the grassland, the church will be unable to do anything to them for at least half a year.
Secondly... there are those people on the grassland.
When passing through the grassland again, Benjamin and the others easily solved the beast tide on the grassland and taught the herdsmen the knowledge of magic. In other words, they are very popular on the grasslands and can gain support from the local people.
Now that the church is so rampant, if they want to seek development, they can only run to the grassland.
As for the mages under Benjamin, they all came over from the grassland to understand the situation. They had no objections to this decision and immediately started packing their things and preparing to move.
If anyone had any objections... it would probably be the king.
"... If you want to go to the grassland, do you mean you are ready to give up on me?"
Benjamin glanced at him while packing his things. The king's expression was very nervous, as if a suspect was uneasy in the court waiting for the verdict.
Seeing this, Benjamin shook his head.
"We don't have the ability to fight against the church, so we can only avoid its edge." He explained, "The substitute has been placed on the throne. If we don't hide, we will be caught by the church before we can prove your identity. No one can be convinced."
When the king heard this, he was stunned, and then said: "Then... what should I do?"
"If you have influential cronies, you can try to defect to them." Benjamin said calmly, "If not... you can also follow us to the grassland. When the time is right, you will not have no hope of restoring the country."
Hearing this, the king stood silent for a long time. He lowered his head and clenched his hands into fists, as if there was a struggle going on in his heart.
Benjamin ignored him and continued to organize his things. It wasn't until he finished packing his luggage that the king took a deep breath and said:
"I'll go to the grassland with you."
Benjamin raised his eyebrows, turned his head and said, "Have you thought about it?"
The king nodded and said: "If I stay in the town any longer, I will definitely be captured by the church in the end. As for the people in the country who have the ability to protect me... If I just walk in front of them like this, they may not even recognize me."
When Benjamin heard this, he smiled, used magic to hold up his luggage, and walked out, saying, "Let's go then."
The king took a deep breath, nodded, and followed.
In this way, Benjamin and his team took more than an hour to pack up their things, quickly dismantled the camp, flew in the air, and flew towards the northwest.
—People from the church may have filled the area around the Candela Mountains. Therefore, they could not take the normal route. They could only go around the mountains, bypassing the enemy's sights, and quietly enter the grassland to the north.
You will encounter more monsters on the road, that's for sure, but no matter how ferocious the monsters are, they can't compare to the people of the church!
Fortunately, they encountered no more accidents along the way.
People from the church should still be testing the area, carefully exploring the location of Benjamin and his group. As for the monsters they encountered on the road... maybe they were lucky. They didn't encounter monsters of the same level as the giant bear last time. More than a hundred mages are here again, and ordinary monsters are not a problem for them.
For about a week, they carefully bypassed the enemy's sight and entered the prairie north of Carites.
"You didn't expect it, I'm back again!"
Flying into the grassland at night, the system suddenly shouted in Benjamin's head, almost startling him.
"...be normal."
The system acted as if it didn't hear it, and immediately turned around and asked Benjamin: "I rushed here in a hurry. Have you thought about what to do next?"
Benjamin nodded.
Entering the grassland, the first thing they had to do was to visit the tribes they knew before.
At that time, as magic continued to be taught, many people became apprentices through it. And now, a lot of time has passed, and the seeds they planted should sprout, right
Therefore, although it was getting late, they still did not stop and flew straight towards the interior of the grassland. The mages looked around while flying, looking for the herdsmen.
"Wait... what is that?"
However, what they didn't expect was that after flying for about an hour, they suddenly felt waves of magic power in front of them, which was quite intense.
Ahead... are there mages fighting
