Early the next morning, Benjamin left Xuedi City and headed for the legendary rebel activity area.
The undercover church agents in the palace have been completely eliminated—Benjamin watched with his own eyes as the general arrested people overnight. Not only that, he also took the opportunity to let the system secretly scan many confidential documents in the palace, and finally analyzed the results. The general and the prime minister did not lie to him this time.
There was no conspiracy, no inside story, this was an extremely transparent transaction. Benjamin only needs to complete the remaining part of the deal - to deal with the rebels, and there will be no problems.
As for the rebels...
To be honest, Benjamin also had some doubts in his heart, whether this group of rebels was really the group he happened to point out. However, the promise has been released, how can he still control so much? If it is an acquaintance, of course it is convenient. If not, then just use violence to solve it directly.
Benjamin didn't think he could even deal with a group of rebels hiding in the mountains.
Flying in the sky, he was traveling very quickly. About two days later, he successfully arrived at the red area marked on the map, the mountainous area near the border near Frieden.
The rolling mountains and rivers coupled with the dense woods, numerous birds and animals, and sparsely populated areas are indeed an excellent hiding place. Benjamin also passed by here before when he left with the mage.
But this time, he wanted to find people in this vast mountain.
It sounded a little difficult, but it turned out to be easier than he imagined. Except for the rebels, there are no other traces of human activity in the entire mountain, and the system will not miss even the smallest thing. Benjamin only needs to fly back and forth in the sky, and the "radar" will find everything on its own.
Of course, this "radar" was somewhat reluctant to work, and Benjamin had to endure its complaints while flying, otherwise it might strike at any time.
In short, after the system's detection, analysis, and guidance... it took about more than an hour, and they successfully found the nest of the rebels.
After glancing inside twice, Benjamin simply landed from the sky.
"... You must remember that we are not bandits and robbers, let alone just making a living. We have a goal! Frieden has been occupied by ambitious guys, they... "
The rebels' lair doesn't look like a camp, but more like a mountain fortress. While Benjamin was slowly landing, there were many people standing in the open space in the village, and the leader was shouting loudly to the crowd, seemingly giving an inspirational speech or something like that.
Wearing worn-out leather armor and looking gray and gray, these men indeed looked like a group of bandits.
And when Benjamin landed above them, everyone was stunned. The leader was completely unaware of it, and when he got to the exciting part, his spittle flew everywhere and he couldn't stop.
"There are... there are mages..." The person standing in the front row had to interrupt him, pointed at Benjamin, and said in an unbelievable tone.
"Mage? Where is he?" The leader of the rebels was stunned.
"Behind... you."
The leader turned around in shock, only to find Benjamin landing not far behind him, waving to them as if to say hello to them.
At that moment, the leader's face was very wonderful.
From shock to vigilance, and then to slight confusion, he probably also discovered something familiar about this mage.
"Is... is it you? Master Benjamin?"
The leader quickly recognized the person.
Benjamin raised his eyebrows.
It seems that I left a very deep impression on these people. It was just a chance encounter, and Benjamin only managed to remember the appearance of this leader by relying on system reminders.
This is a good thing.
Seeing how happy the leader is now, this man really regards what he said to him as his life creed and executes it meticulously. So when Benjamin showed up again, he was as excited as a fan who had been visited by his idol at his home.
This gave Benjamin an inexplicable sense of relief.
I might be able to completely solve this problem just by communicating.
Of course, except for this leader, most of the other people in the village had confused expressions.
—This group of people had never seen Benjamin.
There are at least a few thousand people here, possibly nearly 10,000, which is nothing like the hundreds of people in the small town back then. Because of this, the former resistance army has absorbed too many new blood, and now most people don't know Benjamin.
This still adds a lot of difficulty to Benjamin's communication.
"Did you see it? This is the Master Benjamin I told you every day!" The leader turned back at this moment and said excitedly to his men, "He taught me how to deal with the enemy's army. Survive in this troubled world. You see, he is a real person, not something I made up!"
“…”
Benjamin was speechless for a moment.
"Master Benjamin, how did you find us?" After the leader explained the matter to his men, he immediately turned back and asked extra politely.
"I have my own methods, and you will definitely not be able to understand them." Benjamin shook his head, glanced at the curious people around him, and then said, "And I found you this time because I have something very important to tell you. .”
The leader quickly asked: "What's going on?"
"I think it would be best if we sit inside and talk slowly."
"Okay, okay..."
In this way, the entire inspirational speech was completely interrupted by Benjamin's appearance. The leader dismissed the crowd in the open space, and then took Benjamin to a hall in the village.
"Master Benjamin, we would like to thank you for your advice." Entering the room, the leader turned around and couldn't help but said, "If you hadn't said it in the town at that time, we might not have known where he died. .”
Benjamin smiled, but quickly put away his smile and returned to a serious look.
Of course it feels good to hear people praise him, but... He didn't come here just for others to praise him.
He wants to "deal with" this group of rebels.
Therefore, he immediately spoke and said in an unusually solemn tone: "Leave Freden as soon as possible, otherwise you may really die in this place."
The leader was stunned, a smile frozen on his face.
"… Why?"
"Because of the latest news I got, the general is planning to set fire to the mountain." Benjamin started talking nonsense without changing his expression. "Your existence makes them feel threatened, so they are prepared to completely remove you from this world at any cost." disappear."
"Really, really..."
"Of course it's true. Think about what I said to you in the town. Are any of them false?"
The leader fell silent, having been completely deceived by Benjamin.
"Then... what should we do?" He seemed to really regard Benjamin as their mentor or something like that, and immediately asked in a state of confusion.
