After dealing with the priest, the general quickly sealed off the camp, preventing anyone from entering or exiting.
Although the whole matter seemed to be over, the soldiers accepted the facts and did not question it any more. But Benjamin knew very well that accent was not a particularly convincing thing, and not everyone was ready to make a clean break with the Glory puppet government. I'm afraid... there would be traitors.
Therefore, he immediately asked the general to blockade the camp.
The general also understood this and had no objection. He sealed off the camp before the whole incident could escalate, thus eliminating the possibility of anyone sneaking out to inform.
Afterwards, they returned to the camp.
"Your Majesty, although I can seal off the camp, after such a commotion, it is impossible for the envoy to return. So... Glory may also know about our meeting." The general said.
The king didn't seem to care very much and said: "So what, sooner or later we will fall out with them."
"That's what I said, but falling out with Glory means that we will soon lose the supply of food and grass. The military food in the camp can still last for half a month. After half a month, Your Majesty, you have to come up with something. .”
"ah… "
The king scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
Benjamin added on the side: "By the way, the same goes for General Lester's army. Your Majesty, please take the opportunity to solve their food problem as well!"
“…”
The king instantly became silent.
When the general on the side heard this, he looked incredulous and asked: "General Lester? With his character... did he actually come to this side?"
"That's right, but... we probably won't be able to see him anymore." Benjamin shrugged and said.
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Wait, that messenger..." He said in a somewhat solemn tone.
"What happened to that messenger? Wasn't he killed by you using magic?"
Benjamin was silent for a moment, then suddenly took a deep breath and said, "No, I'm not referring to him. Now Glory has sent an envoy over, trying to secretly use the cross to control you. So where are the other generals? Carites and others Did the church send people to these two generals who hold military power?"
The general and the king were stunned when they heard this.
this…
They also quickly think of possible consequences.
Benjamin was here, and he got rid of the "messenger" before he took action, so nothing happened. But with the other two generals, things might not be that simple.
—They've probably been tricked.
"We have to go find them," the king said immediately.
Benjamin nodded too.
If the other two generals with military power in the country are controlled by the church, the situation will become very unhappy for them. Not to mention the military rations and the invasion of Ikol, if the church launched some kind of encirclement and suppression of the rebels, they would be doomed.
"I'll go check out the situation. Your Majesty, you should stay here and think about the issue of food and grass." Therefore, Benjamin said.
"...I can go with you." The king obviously didn't want to stay.
"Those two generals may have been controlled by the church. It's too dangerous for Your Majesty to go there. It's more convenient for me to go in and out by myself."
“…”
Benjamin's reasons were impeccable, so the king had no choice but to stay here. After telling the detailed addresses of the other two military camps, Benjamin flew out in a hurry.
Just like that, in the sky, Benjamin hit the road again.
There was still no news from Miles, but at this moment, he had a rough idea of what the church might be doing. Taking extreme measures to forcibly control the military... Facing the invasion of Icol, the church is working hard to capture Carites' army.
Want to rally your forces against Ikol? It's not impossible, but to be honest, as long as they use the fake king's mouth to say that they will send troops to defend against the enemy, these troops will naturally go to fight. There is no need for such extraordinary measures at all, right
Benjamin had a bad feeling.
Therefore, on the way to the other two military camps, he also inquired about the situation in various places in Carrites.
News of the invasion had spread throughout the country, causing panic everywhere. Many people on the border were running inward, and Ikol's army was said to have been marching, and even captured several cities and killed many people. In short, Carites is really in chaos now.
Benjamin could only be thankful that several of their places to stay were far away from the border. Therefore, the flames of war will not burn them for a while.
In this way, it took him about a day and a night to visit both military camps.
His method was very rough. He just passed over the camp and let the system scan it. Then he ignored the soldiers who were startled by him and walked away. In the end, the system also told him the result.
"Well, these two generals have been decorated with crosses. I'm afraid they are hopeless."
When Benjamin heard this, he could only sigh.
Tired...
According to statistics, the two generals had 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers. Including the royal guards, the church had more than 100,000 soldiers, which really made Benjamin feel like he was blind.
In desperation, he could only return to the original camp and tell the general and the king the news.
"After being controlled by that cross, is there no solution?" The king was very sad and couldn't help but ask.
"Maybe." Benjamin said helplessly, "It's a pity that it's only in the hands of the church."
The situation is a bit stiff now. The church has a large number of soldiers, and they don't know what they are planning secretly. Ikol marched forward with great success. The soldiers in the military camp were temporarily sealed here and could not do anything. I am afraid there will be problems if they continue to be sealed.
"Is there any solution to the issue of military rations?" Benjamin asked.
If they still don't have any clue about this matter, then they might as well just crash to death.
"Yes, but there are certain risks." The general said, "There are several granaries nearby. We can lead our troops to grab a meal, and we will have food and grass immediately."
“…”
This method is really violent.
So Benjamin nodded.
"Good idea, let's do it."
Fighting to support fighting is probably their best option at the moment. Anyway, the food in the granary can only be used by the church, so why leave it there? Might as well grab it directly.
In addition... fighting against Ikol is also something they must put on their agenda.
Because the church had been showing little resistance, Ikol's army invaded quickly. If this continues, Carites will fall in a few months, and Benjamin and the others will have nowhere to hide.
They have to do something.
Therefore, Benjamin took out the sound transmission wood piece and sent a message to the hundred-man mage team who was preparing to hide in the grassland.
"After returning to the grassland, bring out all the apprentices who can come out. We have a battle to fight."
