From the moment Benjamin appeared, the mages of Ikol rallied around the Queen. They were on full alert, summoned a barrier, and stared at Benjamin like they were guarding a temple.
—Even if he hasn't taken action yet.
The explosion just now was the result of the queen's careful design, but even so, the mage still came out unscathed. Therefore, Benjamin's danger level in the minds of these mages has reached another level.
When Benjamin saw this, he actually let out a sneer.
"Why are you so nervous? I haven't made a move yet..." His eyes passed through the barrier and fell on the queen. "Your Majesty, your welcome is a bit too grand, isn't it?"
The Queen was obviously the kind of person whose momentum could never be let down. She snorted coldly and said, "Looking at how hard you worked to sneak in, I have no choice but to prepare a little more welcome ceremony for you. But... if I had just done this... If it is considered grand, the next step will only be more grand."
The soldiers nearby who were so densely packed that they could not be seen were also holding on to their swords. Although they seemed to be very afraid of Benjamin, they still stood ready.
Benjamin also stopped smiling.
"You should understand that I have unlocked the potion effect of thousands of people in the Mage Guild, right?" He suddenly said loudly, "There are also hundreds of people here, they... they probably don't know that the so-called life link is just It’s a lie, but the real effect is mind control, right?”
Hearing this, the Queen clenched her fists, obviously suppressing the anger caused by the loss of control of the Mage Guild. At the same time, the mage beside him couldn't help but frown.
"...What do you mean?" a mage asked.
Benjamin smiled and said, "Isn't it clear enough? Your Majesty lied to you. She is just using magic potions to control the minds of all the members of the Mage Guild and make you work for her."
"So what? All this is done willingly by us." Those mages seemed not to care, and someone immediately replied, "Not everyone can be as loyal to His Majesty as we are. Those half-hearted mages use magic potions. Isn’t it wrong to control it?”
Hearing this, Benjamin raised his eyebrows.
No wonder... Is this the so-called die-hard mage
He also couldn't understand what these mages were thinking, honor or loyalty? But no matter what, it is definitely impossible for him to instigate these mages - regardless of the effect of magic potion or not, these people will work hard for the queen.
Then, the only way was placed in front of him.
Kill them!
Benjamin didn't hesitate any longer. Others are calling at his door, so why is he talking nonsense? As a result, he drew a string of characters in the void and pointed them at the group of mages surrounding the Queen.
"Elemental Command·Destruction."
In an instant, countless water elements rushed towards them, and soon gathered into a terrifying elemental turbulence. The turbulence first covered the top of the barrier, and soon expanded, swallowing up the hundreds of mages and the barrier together.
The faces of the mages could not help but change.
"What is this?"
Dense water magic emerged from the turbulent flow and hit the barrier. In just ten seconds, the initial barrier was shattered into pieces and could not hold up at all. They could only cast spells quickly and add new barriers to prevent them from being completely defeated in the first round.
It's just that the endless water magic is like a heavy rain, crackling on the barrier they summoned. Looking at this scene, the mages felt their scalps numb.
One person suppressed hundreds of them. Is this kid so scary
They calmed down anyway. After all, there are hundreds of mages selected from thousands of people, and none of them are dawdling. Therefore, after a brief panic, they started chanting advanced magic while maintaining the outer barrier.
And the elemental turbulence that enveloped them was also blocked by successive barriers, as if it could not do anything to them for a while.
Benjamin frowned when he saw this.
This is not a group of guys who are easy to deal with. With his existing methods, it may not be easy for the army to kill the queen.
So, does he want to start "The Coming of Water" now? However, it seems that now... is not an excellent opportunity to open up.
Obviously, the many soldiers surrounding him are not idle.
boom! boom! boom!
Continuous gunshots rang out, and Benjamin had to spend more time to use ice to create a 360-degree turtle shell with no blind spots in order to block the attack of the musketeer battalion below.
Looking carefully, it seems that there are quite a few spearmen brought by the Queen...
There were at least a few hundred people, and they fired a volley at Benjamin floating in the sky, which really caused him some trouble. He could feel that there were more of these bullets mixed with some enchanted bullets, and they might even penetrate his ice turtle shell.
Therefore, he quickly gave up hard resistance and instead kept moving in the sky, dealing with most of the attacks from the musketeer battalion by dodging.
He knew very well that there were many more soldiers here. If he activates "Water's Coming", the Queen is likely to have people rush to stop him with their lives. And Benjamin was not sure whether ten minutes would be enough for him to kill all the soldiers present.
In fact, the remaining ordinary soldiers who can't shoot have gathered together, ready to use their lives to fill the gap at any time. Therefore, Benjamin was in no hurry to open up.
Ice arrows were condensed by him. While avoiding the soldiers' shots, he used the ice arrows to counterattack. The soldiers raised their shields to defend themselves, but it was obvious that the shields made of iron were of little use.
After a while, casualties appeared among the soldiers.
"...The Shield Battalion uses the enchanted shields to protect the people of the Musket Battalion! Where are the people of the Archer Battalion? What are you still dawdling about? Why don't you attack quickly!"
Hiding in the protection of the mage, the queen was not idle. She roared like a roaring lioness. With the blessing of magic, her voice reached a terrifying level. The noise of the battlefield was completely suppressed, and the back of Benjamin's head shook.
The soldiers also obeyed the command and organized quickly, without causing any more casualties due to Benjamin's counterattack.
Later, the archers also came with them. Like the musket battalion, some of their arrows are ordinary and some are enchanted. As for thousands of people shooting bows at the same time, the scene was still a bit scary, and the area covered basically left no room for dodge.
Therefore, Benjamin had to make a sudden turn and rise to an altitude of nearly 100 meters to temporarily avoid the sharp edge.
"so troublesome… "
In previous battles, he had never felt that ordinary soldiers were a threat. At most, they were a group of human shields that drained his mental energy. But now, the human shield can also pose a threat to him.
He had to think carefully about the delicate position of mages in the war.
Waves of magic power came from below. It was obvious that the elemental turbulence failed to break through the defense of the mages. And their first round of high-level magic chanting is probably coming to an end.
Benjamin felt troubled.
It seems that it is not that easy to fight one against ten thousand.
Can I only turn on "The Coming of Water"
However, at this moment, he suddenly sensed the magic wave coming from another direction. Benjamin turned his head and saw that the academy's defensive barrier had been alerted at some point. A large group of mages poured out of the academy and took up positions near the door.
"Dean Benjamin, we are here to help you!"
Each of them was excited, chanted in unison, and launched an attack on Ikol's army without hesitation.
