After Benjamin quickly fled the scene with his men, he quickly hid in a nearby narrow valley.
Originally, they had a chance to wipe out all the priests. But suddenly, the system appeared, saying that it had detected magic power fluctuations in the distance. Therefore, Benjamin could only give the order immediately and lead his people to retreat in a hurry.
—You don’t need to think about it to know that reinforcements from the church must be coming.
They can't afford to fight.
Their numbers are far inferior to those of the church. They cannot face the enemy head-on. They can only adopt circuitous guerrilla tactics. They focus on picking out isolated individuals and take advantage of as many advantages as they can. Caught.
At this moment, they were hiding far enough, and the other party would definitely not be able to catch up in a short time. Therefore, his mages and apprentices also relaxed and found a secluded corner in the valley to rest.
"Those magics just now... were so powerful!"
As soon as the apprentices settled down, they couldn't help but discuss the battle just now. After all, this can be regarded as the first large-scale spellcaster battle they have experienced.
And the magic used by the ten elite mages at the end also fascinated them.
Usually, when they deal with some spies, these ten mages just throw fireballs with other apprentices, without showing any special skills. But in the melee just now, fire, hurricane, black shadow... the hell scene woven by various magics shocked them who were new to magic.
"What's here? It's just a bunch of intermediate magics stacked on top of each other." When Joanna saw this, she patted an apprentice on the shoulder and said, "When you see high-level magics, you will know what is truly powerful. Something.”
"Advanced magic... can you even use this?"
Joanna looked proud and said, "Of course!"
"It's amazing. You can learn advanced magic at such a young age. You must be very talented..."
In this way, the apprentices and mages were chatting animatedly. Seeing this, Benjamin smiled and shook his head, and began to calculate the next steps with the system.
"How many of the villages we plan to visit have we not visited yet?" he asked in his mind.
"There are too many." The system replied lazily. "Without interference from external factors, it will probably take you two more months to finish them all. But need I say more? The external forces you have to face There are more and more factors.”
Benjamin nodded, also showing a stern expression.
Yes... the church's pursuit and interception will definitely become more and more fierce.
Thinking like this, he suddenly stood up, came to the mage and apprentice who were still having a heated discussion, and said: "Everyone... we don't have time to chat here, we will start the next transfer immediately!"
This area was already close to Glory, and they ambushed the church team again. Next, the church will definitely send a large group of priests to surround the place and dig deep to find them.
Therefore, they had to move quickly.
The enemy can fly, and Benjamin has such a large group of apprentices, so he can only use walking. They are inferior to others in terms of speed. If they want to be a truly elusive guerrilla, they must always be one step faster than their opponents.
— Just like today’s retreat.
After everyone heard this, they also recovered from their excitement. They didn't say anything, but nodded.
Although they were happy that they had just won the battle, they also understood that the situation in Carites was not at a time when they could be truly happy.
Fortunately, they didn't set up camp at all, and it was easy to move. They picked up their things and headed towards the other opening of the valley. Although Benjamin couldn't carry so many people up to the sky, summoning water vapor could at least give everyone a little speed and save effort.
After leaving the valley, with the water element induction method turned on throughout the process, Benjamin also discovered that there were obviously more priests in this area.
Groups of priests walked back and forth in this area, some flying in the sky and some walking on the ground. In just half an hour, he had discovered four teams of priests with more than a hundred people.
These priests are constantly looking for traces of Benjamin and his party, which also brings them a lot of pressure.
Fortunately, this is not a flat plain, otherwise they would really have nowhere to hide.
"Go east, be careful, don't be discovered by the church."
In this case, Benjamin did not dare to think of counterattack. The church's teams are so dense, even if he successfully attacks one team, other teams will immediately cover up.
However, the transfer didn't seem as easy as imagined.
"Um...Teacher Benjamin, if you go forward, there seems to be no obstacles that can block your view."
In this way, we walked for more than two hours. Suddenly, a local apprentice glanced ahead, turned back, and said with some embarrassment.
When Benjamin heard this, he also flew forward and sensed it for a while. Then, he showed a solemn look, raised his hand, and signaled the entire team to stop.
What this local apprentice said is true.
Their current location was leaning on a path beside a rock wall. The hills on the side were towering, and they were hiding in the shadows, making them relatively invisible.
But going further, the hills come to an end, and there is a large stretch of flat and open terrain behind them. The sparse trees growing there do not form a dense forest where one can hide his figure.
If they were walking among them, once a team of priests flew through the sky, they would be discovered immediately!
Trouble...
"Let's wait for a while." After thinking for a while, Benjamin said, "When it gets dark, we will find an opportunity to go there."
When the mages and apprentices heard this, they could only nod their heads and couldn't think of any better way.
They found a narrow path between the rock walls, hid in it, and waited patiently for the night to fall. The number of priests passing by here is also increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
One team... two teams...
Benjamin took a deep breath.
Are there actually so many priests hidden in Karites
As time went by and the sky got darker, the number of priests searching back and forth did not decrease at all. A few times, they even flew right past Benjamin and his group. Were it not for the cover of various vegetation, they might have been discovered.
After going back and forth several times, everyone broke into a cold sweat.
They all knew what would happen if they were discovered.
—I’m afraid it’s a bloody battle with a narrow escape.
When it got completely dark, Benjamin even sensed traces of the army nearby.
Suddenly, his heart felt cold.
The church probably found some excuse to ask the substitute king to give the order and send out the army. And Benjamin could sense the army nearby, so this area was probably blocked by the army.
It would be difficult for them to escape silently.
"Teacher Benjamin, what's wrong? Your face looks so ugly." Joanna suddenly noticed Benjamin, who was frowning deeply, and couldn't help but ask.
When Benjamin heard this, he sighed and told everyone the news.
And after listening to it.
"Is this... is this true?"
The expressions of the ten mages were good. After all, they were veterans of the battlefield. Even if they were really blocked, they could still try to break through with their strength. At least they could still see hope. But the remaining apprentices don't even know how to fly, so how can they break through
There was fear in their eyes.
"Teacher Benjamin... you won't give up on us, will you?" As the apprentice team leader, Ryan asked uneasily.
