If Regina really fell, what happened to the soldiers fighting in the streets? Judging from the scene, there are still many defenders in Ikol, and the Kingdom of Hori has not gained an overwhelming advantage.
So... then...
Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath.
This is another coup.
"Master Dean, what should we do? Someone below seems to have discovered us." Laila frowned and said after looking down for a few times.
Benjamin came back to his senses, suddenly stretched out his hand and made an offensive gesture.
"Let's... rush!"
Before the mages could figure out the situation, Benjamin waved his hand and led them towards the palace. Several ice arrows were condensed, and the guard at the palace gate didn't even have time to speak before he was penetrated through the chest and fell straight down.
Benjamin also landed on the ground and rushed in without hesitation.
—Although it's not clear why this is happening, he can roughly understand Regina's situation now.
Palace coup, for this city, this kind of thing seems to happen too much. There had been an uprising in the church once before, but the Queen was present at the time and used that opportunity to eliminate an undercover agent of the church, so there was no subsequent impact.
However, now the church is repeating its old tricks, and the entire Regina has no warning about this.
After rushing into the palace, Benjamin quickly activated his water element perception and tried his best to bring the scene in every corner into his field of vision. He saw two priests behind the corner of the corridor, he saw several paladins and officials in the palace hall, and he also saw a bishop in the study...
"I seem to hear something. Is it someone from outside rushing in?"
"Be careful, let's go out and take a look."
The two priests behind the corner of the corridor were talking and walking towards this side. But when they turned the corner, they were greeted by two water balloons.
flutter! flutter!
The priest was suddenly submerged by the water ball, and the effect of the life-saving cross was also shattered by the rapid cutting of the water. In the blink of an eye, the two priests were frozen into ice sculptures and then shattered on the ground.
Benjamin didn't even stop for half a second, but continued to rush towards the palace hall.
In the hall, there were several officials whom he was relatively familiar with. They should be Ikol's important ministers. They were talking happily with the paladin beside them. There is no doubt that they are the basis for the church to launch this coup.
However, Benjamin failed to find the president from the palace.
This gave him a very bad premonition.
"Master Dean, please wait for us..."
The mages also quickly caught up from behind, Joanna waved and shouted.
Benjamin looked back and suddenly said: "You go to the study first, there is a bishop there. Go and entangle him, don't let him run away. Little girl who can read, come with me!"
The mages were all stunned, but they responded quickly and nodded. At the bifurcation point of the palace corridor, Benjamin and the girl rushed towards the palace hall, and they flew towards the study.
"Who is it? The dignity of laws and regulations cannot be violated. You can't just enter the palace hall casually!"
When Benjamin kicked the door open and rushed in from the front, several officials in the hall turned around. One of them inserted his waist and scolded him confidently.
The paladins also drew their swords and glared angrily.
Benjamin sneered, and with a wave of his hand, countless ice arrows appeared. The paladins and priests in the entire hall did not even last two seconds.
Two seconds later, the body fell to the ground, and several officials were stunned.
"You don't even recognize me? I am a lifelong member of the Judgment Council, Master Benjamin." Benjamin slowly walked into the officials and said coldly, "I'm sorry, the laws you use to pretend to be powerful are me and the Mages Guild. It was decided together with the president of the association.”
After this reminder, the officials were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.
"House, Mr. Dean? You...how did you come here? We...we...listen to my explanation. Things are not what you saw. We..."
Benjamin waved his hand, and the flying ice arrows interrupted their words. Then, the corpses of several more officials fell, leaving only the last one alive, shivering in a corner.
—Just one is enough.
"I don't have time to interrogate them. I need to control their minds with telekinesis and make them tell me what they need to say." He turned his head and gave the order to the girl.
The girl also nodded. Soon, the spiritual power spread out, and the only official trembled. Gradually, the panic on his face slowly disappeared and he became a little dull.
"Let me ask you, where are the other people in the palace?" Benjamin asked coldly.
"The people... the guards have all been sent out and are fighting the army outside. They should be eliminated soon. All the servants have been silenced, and the disobedient officials have been thrown into prison... "
Benjamin immediately asked: "Where is the mage? Where is the president? What did you do to them?"
"Mage... The mage has been purified on the spot by the Bishop. The president was tricked by us into a tavern in the city. After being knocked unconscious with medicine, he was tied with a magic-forbidden chain and transported out."
It turns out that the president is not dead yet...
Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked: "Where are you going to transport him?"
"I... I don't know."
Suddenly, Benjamin frowned deeply.
He never expected that the church would be so well prepared. A coup not only completely took control of the palace, but also deceived the president into a trap, easily eliminating the church's biggest resistance.
Although Benjamin still doesn't understand many things, but... he must save the president!
He was responsible for many of Ikol's military arrangements, and the church kidnapped him probably for this reason. Benjamin guessed that maybe the 100,000 troops currently displayed on the border were still staying at the border, and the news was completely blocked. He didn't even know what was happening in Regina.
And this fall actually only happened in the city of Regina.
Thinking about it this way, the church's plan is actually very obvious. This is a decapitation tactic - they are unwilling to attack Icor's solid defense line head-on, so they trigger a coup in Regina and want to dismantle Icor from the inside!
Therefore... they need to live forever.
The 100,000 troops at the border are still waiting for them to use their status as president to deal with them.
Thinking of this, Benjamin quickly left the hall with the girl.
If anyone in the palace knows where the president was taken, then this person can only be the bishop in the study!
