Benjamin shook his head without hesitation.
"What are you thinking about? I have traveled to so many villages and gathered you here to fight with the church, not to throw you aside just to cause something to happen."
After hearing this, the apprentices looked at each other, and their expressions seemed a little more relieved.
Benjamin was also lost in thought.
There are several paths before them. The first is to hide. Keep hiding. Unless the church can sweep away every piece of land here, they will have a place to hide until the church cannot find anyone and give up completely. until.
However, this is too useless, and they don't know how much time they will waste.
If they don't want to be cowardly, they can also try to break out, but even if they succeed in breaking out, they will probably suffer heavy losses and be caught in the endless pursuit of the church. During this period, they could do nothing but escape.
In addition, there is another more evil way left, which is to dig a tunnel and sneak out. It's just... such a large area, Benjamin didn't know how long they would have to dig.
People in the church can sense magic fluctuations within a certain range. Therefore, only Benjamin can use magic to dig. Even if others are willing to do it, they can really only use their hands.
This kind of efficiency... Benjamin couldn't imagine it.
"Otherwise, we can ask for help from the grassland." Tony suggested. "After all, it is a team of hundreds of mages. We should cooperate inside and outside. It shouldn't be too difficult to break through."
Benjamin thought for a moment and suddenly nodded.
"Indeed, the group of people staying in the grassland can do something..."
After thinking about it, the light finally shone in his eyes again.
Of course, Benjamin did not intend to adopt this strategy of attacking from inside and outside to force a breakout. Again, they can break through, but what about these apprentices? They can't run away.
Therefore, they can only use other methods.
After thinking for more than ten minutes, he finally came up with the prototype of the entire plan. After discussing with the mages, he finally determined their way of breaking out.
—He planned to let the mages staying on the grassland lure away the church's large army.
In this way, he quickly picked up the wood piece that transmitted the sound.
After Benjamin left the grassland, he communicated with the mages in the grassland several times. According to the mages who stayed behind, the situation in the grassland was not bad, everything was going well, and the number of their apprentices had grown to more than two hundred. Previously, Benjamin's instructions to them were only to develop well and train apprentices.
And now, they finally have new instructions.
"Let the apprentices stay in the grassland first, leave one or two mages to guide them, and the rest are ready to leave the grassland. And that Miles, call him out too, it will be of great use..."
In order to prevent the extremely weak magic power fluctuations emitted by the wood chips from being detected, Benjamin deliberately hid in another place, spoke to the wood chips for a long time, and completed the entire instruction before putting it away and returning to the mage and apprentices. Hidden mountain path.
"Has it been done?"
Seeing this, the mages asked nervously.
Benjamin nodded.
"Now, the only thing we have to do is wait." He lowered his head and looked at the ground under his feet, "But... be prepared, let's start digging holes first."
In the silent night, sometimes a procession of priests flew through the sky. In such a remote and deserted trail, Benjamin and his group were hiding here, working hard to dig tunnels under the dense canopy of trees.
And hundreds of miles away...
"As expected, that guy brought it up. It's really troublesome."
In the tent of a seemingly huge herdsman tribe on the grassland, Miles couldn't help but sigh while picking his ears and listening to everything Wallis conveyed to him.
"Stop complaining. His Majesty the King is also trapped there. Just think of it as saving the King." Wallis shook his head and said.
Miles shrugged helplessly and said nothing more.
Just like that, that night, a large group of mages suddenly set off from the grassland.
They quietly left from the west side of the grassland.
"We'd better be careful." Frank couldn't help but say on the way, "We can't let the church discover our movements, otherwise, if they turn around and design us, things will become very troublesome."
"Don't worry, the church can't find us." Wallis said, "At this moment, all their strength must be concentrated on surrounding Teacher Benjamin, and they have no time to pay attention to us."
Frank heard this and nodded thoughtfully.
It took about a day and a half to quietly enter the center of Carites, disguised as a caravan, and arrived outside Amber City.
"Here we are... right here."
The caravan disguised by the mages stopped, and Wallis glanced towards the city gate.
At Amber City Gate, the strict guards are still as before. Everyone passing by will be carefully checked. Any disguise will be discovered by the soldiers at the door and will not be allowed to pass.
"Sure enough, it's still so strict." Frank also nodded and said, "The people in the church must be scared by our disguised technology."
Wallis just sighed and said: "There is no way, I hope that guy's actions go smoothly."
There are many people lining up outside the city waiting for inspection, and the mages are also waiting in the queue like ordinary caravans, waiting patiently for the queue to move forward little by little.
After about ten minutes, there were finally only four or five people left in the queue in front of the mages.
Suddenly there was a burst of excitement in Amber City.
"Oops! Oops! It's on fire! Come and put out the fire!"
Standing outside the city gate, the mages could not see clearly what was going on at the city gate, but they could still see some thick smoke rising into the sky, the faint light of fire coming from inside the gate, and the sudden chaos among the people on the street.
Suddenly, they exchanged looks with each other and nodded in their hearts.
here we go…
Once the commotion broke out, the soldiers guarding the city gate couldn't help but look back. Then, there were expressions of astonishment on their faces, and they began to feel a little at a loss. Other people lining up to enter the city also backed away, wondering what was happening in the city.
"what happened?"
"No way...Is the city on fire? How could this happen..."
People outside the city were talking a lot, but after a while, they didn't need to talk anymore.
Because the fire seemed to spread very quickly. Before long, many houses on the street near the city gate were ablaze, and the thick smoke drifting over had begun to take on a choking power.
At this time, everyone present could not sit still. Many people retreated subconsciously, fearing that the fire would spread to them.
However, not everyone is so timid. At least...some people are enthusiastic.
"Quick! Go put out the fire!"
Wallis led a group of mages and conjured a bunch of barrels from nowhere. Holding them in his hands, they rushed towards Amber City.
