Although it was late, the general in the camp did not rest. When Benjamin and the king emerged from the ground, he was sitting at the table, working on documents related to the army.
And in this case, with a bang, the two Benjamins appeared on the scene, which was almost like the arrival of aliens on the earth.
Bang!
The general overturned the table, pulled out the long sword hanging on the wall, lowered his body slightly, assumed a fighting posture, and stared at the two of them with doubtful eyes.
Fortunately, Benjamin had used magic to soundproof the tent, otherwise, all the soldiers outside would have poured in the next second.
"General Lester, calm down, we are not here to assassinate you." He said quickly.
The general frowned when he heard this. Through the dim light in the camp, he looked carefully at Benjamin and the other two.
And the king also walked out at this time.
"Long time no see, General Lester." He maintained the posture of a king and said slowly, "Carites has fallen into a critical moment, and I need your help."
Lester looked more alert: "Who are you?"
“…”
The scene was slightly embarrassing.
Benjamin had no choice but to clear his throat and speak like a supportive official: "General Lester, when facing His Majesty the King of Carites, please pay attention to your attitude."
"His Majesty?"
Suddenly, the other party's expression became more confused.
The king also hurriedly took out his crown and family emblem, showed it to the general, and said at the same time: "It doesn't matter, I personally appointed General Lester. When my father was not yet dead, we used to hunt together, and he Of course you recognize me."
General Lester looked at the crown and emblem, and then looked carefully at the king's face. Then, his expression became a little weird.
He said nothing and did not put back his sword, which made the pretentious king look even more embarrassed.
…still don’t believe it
The king was also a little anxious and spoke again: "General Lester, you..."
However, just as he was mid-sentence, the general suddenly took a few steps back, turned around and rushed towards the door of the camp. Not only that, he also shouted: "Here comes someone! There is an assassin!" Apparently he wanted to call in all the soldiers outside.
The king was stunned at that time.
General Lester's movement was so sudden that he had no time to react. However, when the general rushed near the entrance of the camp, a strong wind suddenly hit him, and the water vapor surged towards the general, blocking him all of a sudden.
Benjamin appeared behind him.
"General, this place has been isolated by my magic. You can't get out. No matter how loud you shout, no one outside will be able to hear anything. Please be patient and listen carefully to what we want to say. .”
Hearing this, the other party turned around, glared at Benjamin, and suddenly swung his sword and slashed at him.
Benjamin shook his head helplessly.
Accelerated by the water vapor, he turned slightly to dodge the opponent's attack. Immediately afterwards, he used a water balloon technique, which turned into a huge bubble, catching the general off guard and wrapping him up in it.
"You..." Trapped in the bubble, General Lester's expression suddenly changed.
He kept swinging his sword, trying to break through the blisters, but Benjamin's magic was not easy to break. The sword in the general's hand was only ordinary and had never been enchanted. No matter how hard he tried, it was easily resolved by the soft film of the blisters.
After trying for a while, he finally stopped his counterattack and stared coldly at the two Benjamins.
Benjamin was also helpless, sighed and said, "General Lester, we don't mean any harm. Why can't you listen to us?"
"I have nothing to say to you." The general showed a look of hostility. "Not only did you steal the crown and the royal emblem, but you also want to use them to take away the entire Carites. One day, your ambition will Devour yourselves."
“…”
Benjamin was speechless.
Damn it...does this guy really believe this announcement from the church
Headache.
From the looks of it, this general must not have been bribed by the church, and was originally a candidate for alliance. Unfortunately, the other party firmly believed in the announcement issued by the fake king, but turned a blind eye to the real king in front of him, which was a bit troublesome.
Benjamin couldn't help it. Therefore, he could only turn his head and look at the king.
The king also spoke at this moment: "General Lester, you were deceived by them. The church has taken over the palace and supported a false king. These notices were all issued by the false king. I am the one who appointed you ten years ago. A true king!"
"That's enough! Don't try to lie to me!"
The king did not believe in evil: "General Lester, can't you even recognize me?"
The general's attitude was frighteningly resolute, and he said sternly: "Do you think I will admit your mistake because you look somewhat similar to His Majesty? Save it, our King of Carites, how could he be such a thief like you? A sleazy liar?"
“…”
It hurts my heart, old man.
The king was so angry that he could not speak for a while. Benjamin could only hold his forehead helplessly.
This guy has a bit of a one-brained mind.
Really headache.
In the current situation, Benjamin and the others actually have some leeway. The general is trapped here and it is impossible to escape. The soldiers from outside should not come in. They have enough time to slowly convince the other party. But... can they really convince this person
When a scholar encounters a soldier, he cannot explain why. Not everyone in this world will reason with you.
Judging from the familiarity between the king and Lester, it was obviously not enough. He probably couldn't prove his identity by saying, "Hey! You peed your pants when you were five years old. Only I know this secret."
What else could they do
Soon, the king recovered from the blow of "thieves' eyes" and "a wretched look" and began to persuade General Lester again, but the effect was really not very good.
"... General, why don't you believe what I say?"
"That's enough! I was careless in letting you sneak in. If you can, kill me. Don't waste your breath here. I will never help you bring harm to Carites!"
As time went by, both of them felt more and more excited as they talked.
Suddenly, the general seemed to be unable to bear it anymore. His expression suddenly changed, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed it into himself very suddenly!
"Even if I die, I won't let you succeed!"
A large amount of blood spattered out all of a sudden. Then, the general fell into the blisters while holding the dagger stabbed into his abdomen.
Damn...
The king and Benjamin were startled.
This general... has such an anal personality
Because the king's long speech was a bit boring, by the end of the persuasion, Benjamin started to get a little distracted and couldn't help but think about the situation outside. Because of this, when General Lester pulled out his dagger and committed suicide, he was unable to react immediately and stop it.
He could only watch as the general fell into a pool of blood.
"Hurry, save him!" The king was frightened and shouted quickly towards Benjamin.
Benjamin was so big that he had to remove the blisters and summon a few healing water balloons to see if the man could still be saved.
However, at this moment, the general who had just fallen to the ground motionless suddenly jumped up from the ground, moved quickly, and rushed towards the door of the camp again.
Damn... another liar!
Benjamin was startled for a moment, then came to his senses immediately, and wanted to use the water vapor arranged around him to stop the opponent.
However, somewhat unexpectedly, General Lester pulled out the dagger from his abdomen, waved the dagger in his hand, and slashed hard, actually splitting open the wall of water vapor blocking the door. Got it!
Benjamin finally showed a somewhat stunned look.
Is this... a magic item
Being able to break his magic, the dagger was obviously not an ordinary weapon, it was probably a specially made magic prop.
I miscalculated, I didn't expect that this general would still have such a treasure in his body!
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Before the king even realized what happened, General Lester covered his bleeding belly and rushed out of the camp. A huge roar spread throughout the garrison camp like a wild beast. .
"Listen to my order! All troops must assemble!"
