When Benjamin rushed to the study, the nearby corridor was in a mess, with several large holes blown out of several walls. The battle between the mages and the bishop had just heated up, and chaotic magic waves spread from it.
"When you get close later, try to use telekinesis to control the bishop's mind." Benjamin did not rush into the battle, but whispered a few words to the girl.
"This... the other party's mental power seems to be very strong, I may not be able to affect him."
Benjamin frowned.
If you can't use telekinesis to get the words out, then things will be a bit troublesome.
However, the situation was urgent and he didn't have time to worry about it and flew directly into the study.
In the study, a dozen mages formed a large circle, and countless magics flew out of their hands and blasted towards the bishop in the middle. The bishop held a crystal-encrusted scepter in his hand, gathered a large amount of holy light, and tried to counterattack while defending.
-The overall situation is tilting towards the mage. Even if Benjamin does not join, the bishop will not be able to last long.
"...Master Benjamin, I didn't expect you to come so quickly."
Through the collision of layers of holy light and magic, the bishop's eyes fell on Benjamin, and his voice sounded calm.
"There are still many things that you didn't expect!" Benjamin snorted, waved his hand, and summoned dozens of hanging ice swords, "Suffer death, you can't take away Ikol!"
Then, dozens of ice swords fell and slashed hard at the barrier held up by the bishop!
The dazzling holy light instantly began to tremble.
When the bishop saw this, his eyes moved, and he suddenly took out a strange cross from his robe. Following the crushing action, a dazzling holy light suddenly erupted from the bishop's body, blocking everyone's sight and even pushing out the water element. Even Benjamin could not sense his movements.
"He wants to escape! Stop him!"
Joanna was stunned and immediately shouted.
Although more than a dozen mages could not see anything, they still cast spells together, instantly building layers of magical barriers. Fire, ice, rocks... Even if the magic props in the hands of the bishop are heaven-defying, there is no way he can break out of these blockades!
As for Benjamin, he took the opportunity to summon several streams of water, preparing to trap the bishop with magic-forbidden water bubbles, and then torture him about where the president was transported.
However…
flutter!
A soft sound came from the holy light blooming from the cross, like the sound of flesh and blood being broken. At that moment, all the mages were stunned.
Benjamin seemed to have thought of something, his face suddenly changed, he sketched the characters, and used an elemental command·healing as fast as he could.
However, his reaction seemed to be a little late.
"Don't... don't dream. You will never know where we took people for the rest of your life."
With a weak and hateful word, the dazzling holy light gradually disappeared, and the fluctuating elements returned to calm. Then, everyone could finally see clearly what was happening.
The bishop was seen lying there, holding a dagger tightly in his left hand and inserting it into his heart. The mages all took a breath in unison, and only Benjamin hurriedly drew out the string of runes.
However, by the time the raindrops fell, the bishop had already run out of energy.
At that moment, the entire study fell into deathly silence.
"Dean Benjamin..."
After a long silence, Laila spoke, hesitantly wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Benjamin's sudden wave of his hand.
"Ignore him. Go to Regina's prison and release all the officials they imprisoned!" Benjamin took a deep breath and said quickly, "We must quell this coup as soon as possible and allow Regina to resume normal operations. .”
The moment the bishop died completely, he realized that it might be difficult for him to save the president.
Helpless emotions surged up, making him suddenly feel a little tight in his chest. It's just... The pressure of reality quickly brought him back. They could no longer waste time in mourning for the president.
Most of Ikol's army deployment was completed by the president, but besides him, there were some people who were also responsible for this matter. The top priority now is to get in touch with the 100,000 troops at the border. We must not let the church use the president to defeat the army easily!
Just like what was said before using telekinesis, the disobedient officials in Icol were thrown into prison, and they had to rescue them first.
So the mages left the palace and rushed to the prison quickly. Benjamin flew into the sky towards the border, and at the same time killed all the priests he saw on the way.
—In the streets, the melee continues. However, the people in the church seemed to have received some order and began to intend to retreat.
Obviously, they also understood that it was no longer possible to directly capture Regina through a coup. Although it is not known how they communicated, the news of the bishop's death should have reached the ears of every priest in some way.
Therefore, Benjamin does not need to worry about Regina's situation. The coup is an inevitable result.
He quickly left here and flew all the way to the west.
No matter which direction the president was smuggled by the church, there is no doubt that they will eventually go west, close to the border of Ikol, and then use the president to neutralize the alert of the 100,000 defenders.
Benjamin didn't want to give up just yet, so he decided to try something. If the church hasn't gone too far, you should be able to find some clues if you look down from a low altitude.
"Quick, help me scan the pedestrians and caravans on the road... Scan each one clearly for me. The church people may have disguised themselves and hid the people in the team." While he was searching, he He ordered in his heart.
"I don't think there is much hope." The system said lazily. "The border is so long. They have countless forked roads to transport it across, not to mention some routes that can't be called 'roads'. It's simply like finding a needle in a haystack. Moreover, retreating To put it simply, even if you can search all routes, as long as they choose to take a detour, you will never be able to catch them.”
"Just go find me, there's so much nonsense." Benjamin replied coldly.
The system was silent for a moment and said helplessly: "Human beings..."
In this way, the entire search lasted about two hours, and Benjamin examined tens of thousands of square kilometers. However, just like the system said, they never found any clues.
Under the dark night, the world was as silent as an execution ground after a hanging.
Finally, Benjamin paused in the air, took a deep breath, and flew back to Regina with a heavy heart.
… Hopefully, in these two hours, order has been restored in Regina and officials with military command have been rescued from prison.
