"Wait...you mean, Bishop Cameron has been killed by you?"
In the city hall of Changhe Town, the king stood up from his chair and said in disbelief. Several officials and Benjamin standing on both sides of the hall couldn't help but look at each other at this moment.
Miles nodded.
"I have been lurking in Glory, waiting for an opportunity. Just a few days ago, Master Benjamin was harassing Glory. In order to stabilize the situation, the defenders almost came out. Bishop Cameron was alone, so I sent him Assassinated."
When the king heard this, he was still speechless for a while. It seemed that the news was too shocking to him.
After all, it was this bishop who was sent by the church to negotiate with him from the very beginning. From the pretense of cooperation to the subsequent falling out, power was snatched away from his hands little by little, leaving a considerable shadow in the king's heart.
But now, Miles suddenly appeared and told him such news, of course he was a little stunned for a moment.
Not only the king, but also Benjamin was shocked.
"... If you want to assassinate the bishop, why don't you contact us first?"
Miles shrugged and said: "Not long after I entered Glory, the whole city was sealed off, and I couldn't get in touch with you. Your sound-transmitting wood chip will emit weak magic waves, which is right. It's too deadly for assassination. I didn't dare to put it on my body, so I had to find a place to bury it first."
"… All right."
When Benjamin heard this, he could only nod his head.
But... if the news is correct, this should be the last bishop in Carites, right
He suddenly became energetic.
"Your Majesty, although we may not be fully prepared yet, we have to take action." He looked at the king and said, "Now the last bishop of Carites is dead, although there are still many priests and saints left. Knight, but they have lost their command and must be in great chaos. We should send troops now to get Glory back!"
As soon as this statement came out, many people present were stunned.
The general on the side also stepped forward and echoed Benjamin's words, saying: "Your Majesty, this is indeed a good opportunity. We must quickly recapture Glori and organize the strength of the country to resist the invasion of Ikol."
However, at such a juncture, the king's expression seemed to show hesitation.
"Can we?"
Probably the church has been weighing on him for so long that it has become a shadow. When he had the opportunity to break through this shadow, he felt an instinctive worry.
Can they really defeat the church
"No one is sure what the outcome will be, but if it doesn't work now, the restoration of the country will probably just be a distant dream." Benjamin said slowly, "We can take our time, but Ikol's army will not wait. We, the church, can also send reinforcements from the Kingdom of Hori. This may be our best chance."
Hearing this, other people nodded and agreed with Benjamin's view.
Ikol's invasion was like a thorn in their throats. As native Carites, they wanted to defend their country, but because of the church they could only stay in this small town, which was really unbearable.
Because of this, they actually wanted to go to war a long time ago.
"But... what if we lose..." the king said hesitantly.
"Then we'll make a comeback." Benjamin's tone was extremely firm. "Your Majesty, one day we will have to face the church head-on. The longer we prepare, the stronger the fear in our hearts will be."
The king was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and finally nodded with determination.
"Okay, let's send troops to bring Glory back."
Suddenly, even the guards on the side clenched their fists in excitement.
In this way, in order to get the best opportunity to launch, the general immediately went back to rectify the soldiers and prepare for the expedition. Various officials in Changhe Town also became busy. They stayed in the city hall with the king and frantically discussed the battle plan.
After leaving the city hall, Benjamin rushed towards the mage area of Changhe Town.
"Changhe Town... is a good choice." Miles followed up from behind and suddenly said.
Benjamin turned his head, frowned, and said: "The war is about to start. If you don't prepare yourself, why are you following us?"
"I have nothing to prepare." Miles shook his head and said, "Otherwise, it is to protect the king personally, or to follow the army to the battlefield and kill people. What else can I do?"
"Too… "
Miles suddenly asked: "Are you confident in this battle?"
Benjamin shook his head as he walked and said, "Not many. Even if the bishop dies, there will be a lot of priests left here. I don't know the number of priests, but if there are thousands, we will definitely face A tough fight.”
"Then you are still so sure about sending troops?"
"If we don't send troops, we'll have no chance." Benjamin sighed and said, "Don't you know Ikol's progress? In half a month, they will hit Glori. What if Ikol takes Glori? If Rui captures it, the possibility of us taking it back is basically zero."
"Actually... Icol's occupation of Carites should have no impact on you mages. As long as it's not the church, why do you still bother to help His Majesty so much?"
When Benjamin heard this, he let out an undeniable laugh.
"You don't understand what the situation of the mages in Ikol is."
After thinking about it, he explained the general situation to Miles on the way back to the mage area. After listening to the Queen using potions to control all the mages, Miles nodded thoughtfully.
"I see… "
When Benjamin heard this, he seemed to suddenly think of something: "Don't tell me that you plan to assassinate the Queen as well."
"You can try it."
Benjamin smiled and shook his head and said, "Okay, go ahead and try. If you can really succeed, the king and the whole Carites will thank you."
If the Queen really dies, there will probably be a murder in Ikol, right
Just like that, Miles turned around and left as if he had gotten a new challenge. He didn't know if he was really thinking about assassinating the Queen. Benjamin ignored him and hurried back to the mage area.
He first sent a message to the mage team on the other side of the grassland, and then gathered everyone in the mage area of Changhe Town.
"The decisive battle is about to begin."
The square used to practice magic was now filled with mages and apprentices who were listening quietly. Benjamin looked around and saw that the number of apprentices was increasing, already exceeding three digits. They stood in a group, dressed in uniform clothes, and showed a unique aura.
Benjamin felt a little pity in his heart.
Over time, many of them will surely become powerful mages. However, time never stops for any genius.
In order to deal with the church's priests, he planned to bring them to the battlefield as long as they had some fighting ability, even if they only knew the fireball technique.
Fortunately, after Benjamin finished speaking, there was no fear on their faces.
"Teacher Benjamin, can we finally drive the church out of my home?" An apprentice took a deep breath and said with an excited expression.
Benjamin smiled and nodded.
The slight haze in my heart suddenly disappeared.
Time will not wait for them, and many of these apprentices may die. But for those who survive, time will make them heroes of Carites.
