"Wait...is this the order given to you from above?"
Inside the camp, Benjamin took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask.
This was his reaction to the general in front of him.
Setting out from the town of Kerr this morning with the king, they arrived at the nearest camp that afternoon. They still used tunnels to sneak into the camp. Fortunately, the general they met this time was not as unreasonable as Lester.
In fact, after the king came forward, the general quickly recognized the king's identity.
"Sure enough, I felt that there was something wrong with the order from Glory. Now that I have finally met His Majesty, it is really his subordinate's dereliction of duty that allowed His Majesty to fall to this point."
It didn't take much effort for the general to recognize the person, kneel down on one knee and say so.
The king immediately felt very comfortable.
"Well, since you woke up early, I will temporarily forgive you. Get up." Finally, a general admitted him. Of course, he wanted to show off the king's profile and said slowly.
The general also nodded respectfully and stood up.
Benjamin noticed another piece of information in the general's words.
"What orders did Glory... send you?" he asked.
The general replied: "Before, the behavior was normal. It's just that yesterday, Iker had already called in. As soon as I finished writing the petition, Glory suddenly sent an official document, asking me... to stand still." "
As he spoke, he waved his fist, seemingly unwilling to do so.
When Benjamin heard this, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, and then the conversation started.
"Wait...is this the order given to you from above?"
Ikol's men had already reached their doorstep, so the church didn't want to fight back. It actually issued an official document asking the generals in the territory to stay still and not make any resistance to Ikol's attack.
Is the bishop's mind confused? What are they thinking
Don’t forget, the Queen of Icol is basically hostile to the Church. In Regina's previous coup, the queen also set a trap and swept away all the church's chess pieces. If Iker comes in, the church will definitely not gain anything good.
So... is the church planning some big move
Benjamin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Yes, stand still." The general looked dissatisfied. "The enemy is bullying you right in front of you, and you still want to stand still here? At least, the Your Majesty I knew before is not such a person."
The king seemed a little carried away and agreed: "Of course!"
The general immediately asked: "So, Your Majesty, you agree to my sending troops?"
The king nodded: "Send troops as soon as possible, the sooner the better! Every minute of delay may cause my people to fall into enemy fire!"
The general was very excited and said, "Your Majesty, can you get us the rations for the expedition?"
"Ah... military rations... this..."
Suddenly, the king became a little weak again.
The general continued: "We don't have much military food inventory, and it is basically supplied by Stella City in the north. If we want to send troops, we must get the support of several granaries in the west. Your Majesty, can you let them also Will I follow your orders?"
"This... that..." The king hesitated, unable to say anything.
The general could only show a slightly disappointed look.
Benjamin couldn't help but shook his head after watching all this.
Sending troops to fight is a very complicated matter. Just like Lester's army, although it will be under their command in a few days, if the king wants to take command, he must also solve the problem of soldiers and food and hand over various military affairs.
Benjamin doesn't know how to fight, but... this is fucking common sense, okay!
However, looking at the king's face, one could tell that he had not thought much about this issue.
Brain aches.
Forget it... He'd better think about what the church's plan was. The king and the general were slowly suffering from the army's affairs.
At this moment, suddenly, a report came from outside the camp.
"General! Glory's envoy is here again!"
… oh
Benjamin came back to his senses and felt something in his heart.
At that moment, the general's expression was also a little subtle. He first looked at the king, and then said to the outside: "Okay! Please wait for a moment, Mr. Messenger, I will go out to see him right away."
After saying that, he turned his head and whispered to Benjamin and the other two: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will send him away and come back."
The king nodded: "Go ahead."
So the general turned and left the tent, leaving only Benjamin and the king standing in the tent.
The two looked at each other.
"Glory's envoy..." The king looked a little uneasy, "Could it be Bishop Cameron who discovered us here and sent someone to take me back?"
"Your Majesty is worrying too much. You should just convey new orders to the general." Benjamin shrugged and said, "Besides, even if it is directed at your Majesty, with me here, what should your Majesty be afraid of?"
In his view, the most critical issue is the church's plan.
First, he asked the domestic generals to stand still, and then sent envoys over... What kind of medicine is being sold in this gourd? The queen's army and mages all came in. Why could the bishop be so calm
Benjamin was a little confused.
At this moment, he eagerly hoped that Miles could investigate the inside story and tell him using sound-transmitting wood chips. Unfortunately, Woodchip is still very quiet at the moment, just like a single’s mobile phone, with no new messages except 10086.
"Hey, that... the messenger from Glory seems to be a priest." The system suddenly reminded him.
Benjamin was stunned.
He also deployed the water element perception method and sensed outwards. Probably not far outside the camp, he sensed the general and an envoy wearing official clothes. They were talking about something, and their expressions looked unhappy.
And that messenger... Just as the system said, Benjamin sensed several crosses from his clothes.
Most of them are life-saving crosses, but the style of one cross is different from the others.
Benjamin felt a little familiar.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but that cross... is somewhat similar to the silver cross that was embedded in King Freden's forehead to control life and death
Suddenly, a bad premonition came to my mind.
Outside the camp, at this moment, the conversation between the general and the "messenger" seemed to have come to an end. The general shook his head impatiently, made a gesture of seeing off the guests, turned around and left, as if he didn't want to say anything more to the other party.
The soldiers on the side also stepped forward, ready to send the people away.
However, surrounded by several soldiers, the "messenger" had no intention of leaving. Instead, he stared at the general from behind, his eyes so focused that it was scary.
His right hand quietly reached into his pocket and held the special cross.
