After getting rid of the elderly bishop, the king quickly occupied Changhe Town with his soldiers.
There is no longer any resistance in the town. After the people saw the castle in the sky, they were completely impressed by Benjamin's magical ability. They believed that with such a mage around, foreign troops would certainly not be able to harm them, so they were happy that the town was occupied.
As for the officials in the town, unfortunately, the mayor was quite young, and he was thrown directly from the air by the bishop. Although there were people below him, he was still seriously injured and died. The remaining management of Changhe Town is the guard captain, financial officer, stewards and the like.
The king summoned them to the town hall, and after the meeting, these people swore their loyalty to the king. As a result, their positions were retained, and the administrative structure of Changhe Town did not change much.
"I... finally came back."
In the city hall, everyone else left, and the king sat on a high seat, gently rubbing the armrests of the seat with his hands, and was filled with emotions for a while.
The seat is just an ordinary seat, not very gorgeous, and completely incomparable to Glory's throne. But the king's expression seemed to cherish him even more than sitting on the throne.
—He also suffered a lot in order to sit on it.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, but... this is just the beginning. We haven't really taken back Carites yet!" Benjamin happened to come in from the door. Seeing this, he smiled helplessly and said so.
The king raised his head and glanced at Benjamin: "...You have to make me happy for a while first."
Benjamin stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we have not reached the time to rejoice yet."
The king was helpless, shook his head and said: "Okay, okay... By the way, didn't you say before that after helping me capture Changhe Town, you would go and deal with other things, why haven't you left yet?"
"I will leave soon." Benjamin nodded and said, "But before that, I still have some things to deal with."
As he spoke, he took out a notebook and handed it to the king.
The king frowned and took it, turning it over. I saw that the notebook was full of names I had never heard of, line by line, it felt like some kind of list.
"This is… "
"This person with magical talent listed by the church." Benjamin replied, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the conditions when I agreed to help you at the beginning? Now that Changhe Town has stabilized, it is very suitable to develop the prototype of a magic school. "
The king was stunned: "You want to do it now? But... there are no other mages here. Aren't you leaving soon? I can send people to find them, but who will teach them?"
Benjamin smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have already sent the message to the mages who follow me, and they are all rushing here. Besides, I haven't been out all the time, I will be back soon."
The king was inexplicably relieved when he heard this.
"… That's good."
Although they occupied Changhe Town, the church still gathered a lot of power. If someone from the church were to attack them at any time, without the support of the mages represented by Benjamin, the priest and the paladin alone would be able to beat the crap out of them.
To put it bluntly, their situation is actually quite dangerous.
Therefore, he actually hopes that Benjamin can stay in Changhe Town and help him fight out the church and Ikol bit by bit. But... it was Benjamin after all, and the king couldn't ask for anything.
"Well, I'll take my leave first." Benjamin took out another sound-transmitting piece of wood and handed it to the king, "If anything unexpected happens, use this to notify me."
The king nodded and took the wood pieces solemnly.
Benjamin smiled, turned and left.
He walked quickly out of the city hall.
It was still morning, very early. People were coming and going on the streets of Changhe Town. The soldiers were busy issuing the king's orders and recruiting people in the town who were willing to join them in the battle. The whole town had a prosperous atmosphere.
It is indeed a place worthy of development.
When the news spreads, the attention of all Carites will be attracted, the church will hate them, and people who are willing to support them will come from all over the world.
For example, businessman Hal went to meet the king early this morning and wrote to his other business friends, asking them to enter Changhe Town to support the king.
In short... Counterattacking back from the town step by step, they should still have a chance of winning, right
Benjamin walked out and greeted people on the road. After last night's battle, he was almost more famous than the king in the town. Everyone looked at him with admiration and curiosity, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, he could only walk out of Changhe Town first, and then use magic to take off in a low-key manner, so as not to cause another round of screams like a crazy fan picking up the plane.
Flying in the sky, Benjamin rushed towards Glory.
"There's still no news." He took out the sound transmission wood piece, looked at it, and said to himself, "Even if Glory is a dragon in a tiger's den, it's been a few days, why is there still no news at all about Miles? Pass it over?"
The system said: "I don't know, maybe he died there long ago."
“…”
"I mean no harm, I'm just stating a possibility."
Benjamin shook his head helplessly.
With Miles's magic-immune physique, it was basically impossible for him to be killed by the church. Therefore, he couldn't help but wonder if something had happened within Glory
After all, from the invasion of Ikol to the present, the situation in Grorine seems to have been sealed off. No news has come out, not even any rumors. Last night, a bishop appeared inexplicably in the Changhe Town area, while another bishop was missing.
What is the church doing
Therefore, Benjamin could only go and explore by himself.
The distance between Changhe Town and Glory was a bit far. He flew at his fastest speed for a long time, and it was not until the evening of that day that he finally approached that classical and glorious city.
However, as soon as the city gate came into view, Benjamin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The city gate is closed.
The whole atmosphere in Glory looked a little weird. The city gate was closed tightly, with no intention of opening it. There were many people patrolling the city, but upon closer inspection, they were not soldiers, but paladins wearing the church's special armor, and they were not even covered up at all.
Benjamin couldn't help but shook his head.
With this posture, those who didn't know better thought that Icol's army was besieging the city, and Glory was defending behind closed doors!
He looked at the main road outside the city again. However, on various roads, the previous busyness disappeared, not even a person could be seen, and it was extremely deserted.
Benjamin couldn't even find a passerby to inquire.
Trouble... Do you want to force your way in
