The king first asked the large army to stop, and he walked towards the camp with Benjamin and Miles.
"Your Majesty, if General Hawke's soldiers are ambushed and have been wiped out by the church's people, do you still plan to continue attacking Glory?" Miles suddenly asked.
"Of course we have to continue." The king took a deep breath and nodded vigorously, "We have already set off, we can't just give up halfway."
Benjamin kept looking around, frowning.
Soon, they arrived at the front of the camp. Standing outside and looking in, the entire camp was desolate. Some tents had collapsed, fragments of weapons were scattered on the ground, and broken flagpoles were fluttering in the wind.
Except for the fact that there are no corpses, it really looks like a camp after a battle.
"Is there really nothing left?" The king's face also looked ugly.
To be honest, with such a scene, it was difficult for them to judge the outcome. He had some idea of bypassing this camp and rushing directly to Glory. But if he couldn't figure out how this group of people disappeared, he was afraid that they would encounter the same unknown situation next.
The king's heart had never been so heavy as now.
Carrites' fate was in his hands, and he had to be cautious.
"Your Majesty, please stay outside and let me go in on your behalf to see the situation." Seeing this, Miles nodded and said.
However, Benjamin suddenly stopped them at this moment.
"Don't go in."
The king was stunned: "Why?"
Benjamin looked at the camp in front of him with a somewhat subtle expression. Just now, the system suddenly spoke in his mind, telling him that there was a very weak magic wave in this camp. This fluctuation was hidden in several collapsed tents, echoing each other, and seemed to come from some kind of magic prop.
Therefore, he immediately used the water element perception method to find out the source of the magic fluctuation.
There were several huge crosses buried in the ground, with no idea of their use. However, inside the cross, Benjamin could feel the surging light element inside. Once it erupted, it could destroy the entire camp at any time.
In a sense, it was like... a landmine
Benjamin felt uneasy. Those crosses were hidden very well, and it was as if there were no fluctuations in magic power. If it weren't for the system's reminder, he might never even have discovered it.
Thinking of this, he said to the king: "There is a trap inside, hidden deep. If you go in, something might happen."
The king looked surprised: "Trap?"
Benjamin nodded solemnly.
"But... what about the soldiers from General Hawke? Where have they gone?" The king asked anxiously.
Benjamin shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I think we should not stay here for too long and let's leave here first."
When the king heard this, he looked around, his expression became a little nervous, and he nodded.
The army that was supposed to meet them here disappeared, leaving only an empty camp and a trap buried in the camp. Faced with this situation, even a fool knows something is wrong, right
At that moment, Benjamin even felt like a pair of invisible eyes were staring at them.
He activated the water element perception method to the limit, but did not find any suspicious guy within his field of vision. Therefore, they could only inform the whole team to bypass the camp with the trap and continue towards Glory.
However, just when they started to take a detour.
"coming… "
Benjamin's expression changed and he suddenly flew into the sky.
Looking out from the sky, they saw dense shadows suddenly appearing in the woods in all directions around them. Looking carefully, there are soldiers, paladins, and priests among them... Their positions are carefully positioned, and they are completely outside the scope of Benjamin's water element perception method. However, the ambush positions of each team are connected together, forming a A huge circle was formed, completely surrounding them.
At that moment, the cry of killing came from far away, and the king and the soldiers around him didn't even realize what was happening.
Benjamin could only snatch the horn from the soldier's hand and blow it with all his strength.
After a long horn blast, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Enemy attack!"
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed at that moment.
The location they were currently in was a piece of flat land on the edge of the main road, with no terrain to rely on. In a hurry, the general took command, and the soldiers took up their weapons, changed their formation, and surrounded the king and the support staff inside. The soldiers holding shields surrounded me outside, showing nervous expressions.
Fortunately, in order to avoid Benjamin's induction, the enemy's ambush position was relatively far away, so they had time to adjust their position. Otherwise, before the sword is drawn out, the enemy will kill them right in front of them, and they will definitely suffer heavy losses.
This is the only reason why Benjamin feels lucky at the moment.
He was flying in the sky, looking at the soldiers surrounding him like a tide from all directions, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The Church finally showed its claws.
There were approximately 70,000 to 80,000 people in the entire encirclement, which was extremely large. Father Benjamin estimated that there were at least 1,000 people.
Benjamin couldn't help but feel his heart sink.
An ambush halfway was also a scenario he had envisioned beforehand. What surprised him was that the church seemed to be on guard against his perception, and deliberately set up a very distant encirclement, so that he didn't notice anything along the way.
Whose idea was this
Is there still a bishop among Carites
Before the two armies officially started fighting, his senses continued to search the enemy team, trying to find a bishop-level figure. After searching around, he didn't find any bishops. At most, the figures of the priests were coming and going among the army.
But... Even as a priest, Benjamin felt a great pressure.
The large group of mages in the grassland have not yet joined them. Now, there are only about 20 powerful mages on their side. The gap between spellcasters is extremely huge, and the number of soldiers is also crushed. This battle is very difficult to fight!
If we go head-to-head like this, I'm afraid I'll lose...
Benjamin took a deep breath and flew into the sky with the more than twenty mages. He asked one of the mages to use magic to amplify the sound, and then shouted at a loud volume over the battlefield.
"Fighters of Carites, don't believe the slander of the church. The real king is here. If you kill him, Carites will become a slave of Ikol!"
There was no other way. Before the soldiers could kill him, he had to find a way to turn them around.
He knew very well that the church could control the generals, but they could not plant a cross on every soldier. Many of these soldiers must have been kept in the dark.
