"… They succeeded."
About an hour later, Benjamin put away the sound-transmitting wood pieces, nodded, and said to the mages around him.
At this moment, they were under the hill. Apprentices and mages combined, a total of sixty or seventy people, crowded into a narrow hall that had just been dug out.
—This is their new hiding place.
Teams of priests often fly past in the sky, and it is definitely not a long-term solution for them to hide in the narrow path. Therefore, they used this time to dig out a hidden underground room, then blocked the entrance with stones and turf, and temporarily hid here.
The whole environment was extremely bad and they were packed in uncomfortably.
Therefore, when Benjamin learned that the plan of another team of mages in Amber City was successful, he was still very happy.
I can finally go out!
"They succeeded, does it mean that the priests outside will leave soon?" The apprentice next to him heard this and asked in an expectant tone.
Benjamin smiled and nodded: "Well, if nothing else happens."
The faces of the apprentices also showed expressions of relief.
Among them, the newest one had been with Benjamin for four or five days, and there was no friendship at all. Moreover, they had lived ordinary and trivial lives before. It was indeed quite difficult to experience this with Benjamin.
Of course, this is also due to Benjamin’s constant telling of stories to these people.
"Then... when can we go out?" Laila patted her gritty hair and asked helplessly.
"Wait a little longer and be careful." Benjamin said, "I will go out to check the situation tonight. If there is no problem, we can leave smoothly."
In this way, everyone patiently waited for the time to pass. In this boring underground world, Benjamin could only continue to tell stories to the apprentices, and he almost finished telling their story from the Kingdom of Hori to Carites.
I hope their stories can inspire these apprentices who are just getting a glimpse of the world...
Finally, after a few hours, it turned into night. Benjamin also crawled out of the tunnel.
The quiet night sky was covered with light rain, which gave him a lot of self-confidence. After covering the tunnel entrance, he flew into the air, activated the water element perception method, and began to patrol the area carefully.
After flying for about ten minutes, the team of priests coming and going in the sky had disappeared, and Benjamin didn't see anything suspicious anymore.
…really gone
Suddenly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
I didn’t expect that this real and fake Benjamin’s plan would go so smoothly.
But yes, as long as the mages show up in the detention center dressed as Benjamin, the people in the church will definitely be shocked, not to mention that they will kill all the people in the detention center. The church doesn’t know about Miles’ existence. In their opinion, who else but Benjamin can do this
At the same time, Amber City is not too far away from here. If the church evacuates people from here, they can rush there and try to track down the whereabouts of "Benjamin".
Therefore, the role of various factors ensured the success of Benjamin's plan.
After confirming that the priest had evacuated, he hurried back underground to convey the news to the mage and apprentices. Everyone was very happy to finally be able to come out of the ground, and they couldn't wait to crawl out of that hellish place that was even more crowded than the train station.
"Thank you for not driving me away." A fat apprentice sighed sincerely.
After hearing this, everyone shook their heads and showed knowing smiles.
"Okay, let's leave the area first." Benjamin said, "The church's manpower has been diverted to the other side, and we can't miss this opportunity. There are still many villages to the east, and we need to get there as soon as possible."
"no problem!"
Everyone nodded high-spiritedly.
However, just when Benjamin thought the plan ended successfully, suddenly, the sound-transmitting wood chip in his bag lit up.
You got news
Benjamin was stunned, took out the wood chip, and activated it with his mental power.
Wallis's voice came from inside:
"Teacher Benjamin, there is a situation. People from the church seem to have discovered us and blocked all the roads on our side. There are even many priests pretending to be soldiers patrolling. We pretended to be a caravan, but... I'm afraid we can't hide. How long."
Everyone was stunned when they heard the news.
Benjamin couldn't help but frown.
Well... things are not as simple as they thought.
It's true that they got out of trouble, but the church moved a little too quickly! In such a short period of time, another area was sealed off and another team of people was trapped.
Headache.
"Teacher Benjamin, it will definitely be difficult for them to get out of trouble on their own. We have to rescue them!" Joanna slapped her thigh and said uneasily.
Benjamin was silent for a moment and took a deep breath.
"Don't worry, I will rescue them." After thinking, he said.
"You... you want to go alone?"
Benjamin nodded.
"No matter what, I want to go too!" Joanna said immediately.
"You followed me, what will happen to these apprentices?" Benjamin shook his head and said, "What's more, the number of rounds for everyone combined is completely incomparable to that of the church. What's the point of one more person and one less person? ?”
"But… "
Benjamin continued: "So, we must continue to divert the attention of the church. You take these apprentices and the king, find someone to pretend to be me, and continue to develop in the villages to the east to confuse the church. As for Wallis, It’s enough for me to go alone.”
"I… "
"Stop talking, the action has been decided, and we each have our own things to do. Only if you do this well, Wallis and the others can successfully break through."
Finally, under Benjamin's tough tone, the mages lowered their heads and accepted the arrangement.
In fact, this is their best choice at the moment.
It’s still the real and fake Benjamin’s trick. The church has already sealed off the surrounding areas of Amber City, but if news of Benjamin comes from the villages to the east, the church will definitely be very confused. And under such doubts, they had a chance to rescue people.
In this way, Benjamin arranged things here and said a few words to the sound-transmitting wood piece to ask Wallis to calm down. Then, he flew into the air and flew towards the Amber City area at his fastest speed.
The mages and apprentices couldn't help but look worried as they looked at his retreating figure.
"Okay, let's leave as soon as possible." At this time, Tony could only stand up and comfort him, "The earlier we arrive at the target village and convey the wrong information to the church, the greater their chances of successfully breaking out."
Hearing this, everyone nodded silently, turned around, and hurried towards the east.
