"They... seem to have no intention of continuing to move south."
Benjamin hid in the distance, taking a few mages with him to observe the movements of the group of priests. After observing quietly for a while, Tony couldn't help frowning and whispered.
"Indeed, it doesn't look like they are rushing to General Lester's camp." Benjamin also nodded, agreeing with this view.
According to his original idea, after he caused trouble in the camp, the church would definitely send people to investigate and suppress the situation. But at the moment, it seems that this group of more than three to four hundred priests does not seem to be in a hurry to rush over. Instead, they seem to be looking for something.
What can they find
There is probably no other better answer than asking Benjamin and his team.
It seems that their strategic shift has been seen through...
Thinking this way, Benjamin felt a little helpless. The church's actions are becoming more and more cautious. One group is a large group of people to prevent being alone and being attacked by surprise. At the same time, they no longer were led by appearances, but tried to guess Benjamin's next move and then take action in advance.
The church probably guessed that Benjamin would move to the central area, so it sent a team of priests to conduct a careful investigation in this area.
"Teacher Benjamin, what should we do? Should we wait or run away?"
Benjamin thought for a moment and finally said, "Let's wait and see."
Their team now has dozens of people, and it's not that easy to hide. If they are discovered by the church on the way to transfer, things will become very troublesome.
"It's not an option to wait any longer. How about... let's try to lure them away?" Tony suggested again.
"Lead it away..." When Benjamin heard this, he seemed to suddenly think of something. He pondered for a moment and finally showed an excited look, "Yes, this is a good idea!"
Tony was a little confused: "It's just to lure people away so that we can move. Is it necessary to be so happy?"
"What's the point of just transferring?" Benjamin raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "They like to hug each other, so we can play pull and put smoke bombs to make them hug less tightly. And by that time, we There’s a chance to take action!”
After hearing this, several mages looked at each other, smiled and geared up.
"Finally we have another fight to fight!" Joanna said while suppressing her excitement.
In this way, Benjamin took them back to the cave where they were hiding and began to plan the next action.
The purpose of this group of priests is to find Benjamin. As long as he shows up elsewhere, these people will definitely rush over. What Benjamin has to do is to keep showing up in various places to attract the attention of these priests.
In the end, these people will always show their flaws.
The location they were in at the moment was a small forest on the edge of the main road, with many villages on the east and west sides. Therefore, Benjamin took a few people out that day and flew to the village to the west. Several other mages and all the apprentices stayed in the cave to observe the priest's movements.
But this time, Benjamin entered the largest village directly.
"My people, Carites has reached a critical moment. The foreign church supports puppets, drives me out of the palace, and slanders me as a thieving gangster to the whole world. This is an absolutely intolerable fact... "
The king, wearing a crown and the fine clothes he had managed to get these days, was making his speech. Benjamin followed behind, using the water element sensing method to observe every suspicious character in the crowd.
Soon, he confirmed the target.
"You can't be wrong, the two on the left are the spies of the church." Even the system said so.
I saw that the two guys dressed as ordinary farmers were hiding in the crowd, staring at the king, but they did not expect that Benjamin had already stared at them.
Soon, the king's speech ended, and Benjamin also used magic to help the village dig more than a dozen irrigation canals. They gained trust from the villagers and took away three young people with magical talents.
They left the village and headed north.
The two eyeliners followed them and followed them from a distance.
Benjamin didn't know what the other party's contact method was, but he felt that the church's army would be surrounding them soon. Therefore, he exchanged a look with the mages behind him, and suddenly used magic to fly into the air and directly throw away the two eyeliners.
As they flew higher and higher, everything on the ground became blurry. Benjamin summoned a mist of water to resemble a cloud, hiding them in it.
"The smoke bombs have been released, it depends on whether the opponent is hit or not."
In this way, they flew all the way, explaining the situation to the three new apprentices. After about a long detour, half an hour later, they returned to the cave where they originally hid.
"How's it going? What's going on with those priests?"
As soon as he returned to the cave, Benjamin asked the mage waiting in the cave.
"They just set off not long ago, and headed west about an hour ago." Laila replied.
"Not bad." Everything went well, and Benjamin nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Are you ready? Let's set off now!"
The mage and apprentice nodded.
As the time approached evening, they quickly set off and chased towards the west. The system also analyzed the traces left by the priests along the way to guide the direction. In this way, about half an hour later, the team of priests finally appeared in Benjamin's induction again.
But their original team of several hundred people now only has about a hundred people.
...so smoothly
When Benjamin saw this, he even doubted whether this was a trap.
However, after careful sensing, he found that this group of priests was the weaker one. After all, light magic has certain limitations, and it is not as good as wind magic when flying. Therefore, these priests cannot fly.
—They can only travel on their legs.
"When the priest team first set off, did they choose to fly or walk?" Thinking of this, Benjamin suddenly turned around and asked the mage who was responsible for staying behind.
"On foot." Laila shrugged and said, "However, they quickly disappeared from sight, and we didn't dare to follow them. Maybe they got anxious halfway through, and the ones who can fly flew over first."
Hearing this, Benjamin also nodded.
The priest's team must have separated.
They tried it for the first time, and the effect of this pull was unexpectedly good, and they immediately pulled the priest's team apart. But... everything made sense, so Benjamin decided not to be suspicious anymore.
The opportunity is rare, if you don’t get it, you won’t have the chance!
Therefore, after arranging the team a little, Benjamin used his mind to cast a spell and quietly condensed a large ice arrow, which became the clarion call to launch the first round of attack.
These more than a hundred priests could not sense the magic power fluctuations, and no one turned around to take a look. Therefore, it was not until the rain of ice arrows hit their heads that they reacted and turned around in shock.
Unfortunately, this little time is no longer enough for them to sing.
boom! boom! boom!
Hundreds of crosses broke at the same time, helping these people survive the ice arrow attack.
"Damn it! This guy... This guy did it on purpose. He is not in the village to the west at all, but has been following us!" The leading priest showed anger on his face and immediately ordered the other priests to start counterattack.
However, at this moment, a new wave of magic power came from the other side of them.
I saw nearly a hundred fireballs, mixed with dozens of flames, flying out from the hands of ten mages and more than fifty apprentices, and blasted towards the priest's team!
