"Your Majesty, where is your Majesty? I just came from Regina. I have something to report to Your Majesty!"
Benjamin ran outside the encirclement in panic, and several soldiers stopped him. So, he gasped for air and shouted such anxious words to the soldiers.
The soldiers also looked surprised when they heard this.
"Why did you come here? Hurry! His Majesty is impatient to wait for you!"
The Queen didn't seem to know the situation on Regina's side. The spies she sent had not returned yet, but Benjamin bumped into them. Suddenly, Benjamin felt happy. If he could get close to the Queen, there would be nothing to worry about.
Icol only has a few hundred mages gathered here. Even if they are all a group of powerful old monsters, with "Water Coming" activated, they probably won't be able to protect the Queen from Benjamin's surprise attack.
Under the leadership of the soldiers, Benjamin quickly entered the encirclement, near the gate of the college. He raised his head and looked at the mages who were constantly bombarding them from a distance, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
These mages... almost all use advanced magic!
When you were far away before, you didn't think it was anything special. Now if you get a little closer, you can feel the astonishing momentum of dozens of high-level magics blasting out at the same time. Strong winds, sea of fire... The elements in this area are basically in a state of chaos, and there is almost three hundred meters of no man's land around the mages. And they also specially summoned barriers to protect themselves so that they would not be hurt by the aftermath of many high-level magics.
However, the tsunami-like magic blasted towards the entrance of the academy, but was blocked by the huge barrier summoned by the "defense" runes, without causing any substantial damage to the academy.
Benjamin was amazed in his heart.
The scene in the academy was blocked by the aftermath of those magics, so he didn't know how those old mages did this.
"Her Majesty the Queen is inside, please go in quickly."
After a while, the soldier led Benjamin to the door of a temporary camp tent and urged him. Benjamin came to his senses and nodded hurriedly.
He immediately walked into the camp.
The light in the camp was a little dim, and there didn't seem to be many people there. Apart from the queen working at the desk, there were only a few mages who were responsible for guarding the tent. It seemed a bit deserted.
As soon as Benjamin walked in, the Queen raised her head and spoke slowly, sounding unhappy:
"Why did you come now? How is Regina doing now?"
Benjamin thought for a while, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, something happened to Regina! That mage has taken control of the entire palace, so the officials bow to him. And... and he seems to have given the mage a favor at the banquet. The adults all drank a magic potion and said it was an antidote. When I left, the mages all fainted and fell to the ground, no one could compete with him!"
Halfway through, the Queen slapped the table, showing an extremely angry look. After listening to all the reports, she fell silent, like a volcano about to erupt.
Seeing this, Benjamin immediately continued: "And... Moreover, Regina has been blocked by him. I can come out because the mage deliberately let me out. He wanted me to bring you something, saying... said yes… "
"What?" The Queen slammed the table again and asked angrily.
"He said... after you read it, you will be so scared that you hide under the table and won't be able to say a word."
Hearing this, the queen laughed angrily, her laughter hoarse and sharp. Then, she took a deep breath and said, "What worse news could there be? What are you hesitating about? Bring it to me!"
"yes… "
Benjamin stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly towards the queen.
At this moment, the guard mages on both sides of the queen were staring at Benjamin warily and did not relax their guard. However, when the Queen entered within ten meters of Benjamin, he spit out a short spell from his mouth, and when the blue ripples opened, the guarding mage had no time to do anything.
"Oops! There's an assassin!"
The water element field unfolded, and a huge water bubble suddenly appeared, wrapping the queen's entire body in it, and took her flying to Benjamin's side. The queen screamed at that time, and the guards beside her also roared. In the blink of an eye, the soldiers outside the camp were alerted and all rushed in.
The dark tent suddenly became extremely crowded.
Some people even rushed towards Benjamin, trying to save the queen, but they were all pushed back by the wall of water vapor. Ordinary people cannot get within ten meters of him.
Therefore, they could only form a circle and stare nervously at Benjamin from the outside. At the same time, more and more mages are gathering here.
"Your Majesty, long time no see, are you satisfied with this surprise?"
Benjamin was surrounded by countless people, but his expression remained unchanged. He didn't look at those outside at all, but turned around and looked at the queen in the bubbles and said slowly.
However, the moment he turned around, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.
etc…
"Be careful! This is just a stand-in, she is not the real queen!" The system also spoke in Benjamin's mind, confirming Benjamin's bad premonition.
In reality, the "Queen" in the bubble also looked at Benjamin coldly and suddenly smiled.
"We already knew it was you. You were deceived."
At that moment, she suddenly opened her robe, revealing the gunpowder densely packed all over her body, which made people's scalp numb. The fuse on the outside of the gunpowder was already spitting out sparks!
Benjamin was shocked.
There was no time to think about so many reasons. He suddenly made a fist with his right hand and controlled the water bubble to transform into a water ball, hoping to extinguish the sparks before detonating them.
However…
boom!
A huge sound came out, and the entire scene was frozen on the substitute's smiling face. Then, the whole world seemed to shake. Everyone fell to the ground and closed their eyes subconsciously.
Smoke and dust covered the sky and the sun, and the brilliance of magic disappeared... With such an alarming movement, even the attack on the other side of the gate stopped, and the group of mages responsible for the attack hurriedly gathered towards the camp.
"Did it succeed? Is that guy dead? Where is Your Majesty? Is Your Majesty okay?"
After a while, the soldiers who had been knocked down in the outer circle stood up one after another and patted the dust on their bodies.
"…successful?"
Amidst the heavy protection of soldiers, the real queen stepped out. She took a deep breath and looked at the ground where a big crater had been blown out, showing an ecstatic expression.
However, Benjamin came out from the billowing smoke again.
"not at all."
Like a demonic voice coming from hell, hundreds of meters in radius were instantly silenced.
The queen's expression suddenly changed.
Then strong winds picked up, blowing away the thick smoke caused by the explosion. With the sound of boots scraping against the ground, Benjamin took slow steps, and his figure reappeared in everyone's eyes.
Unlike the embarrassed looks of those soldiers, Benjamin was spotless, as if the explosion just now was just an illusion.
Standing in the deep pit formed by the explosion, he faced the astonished gazes of countless people, but he just raised his chin and looked at the queen, his eyes indifferent and even a little frivolous.
Everyone subconsciously took a step back.
"How, how is it possible..."
At that moment, they all gasped in unison, and their voices converged and became the clearest sound among the entire crowd.
