While everyone was busy with their own affairs, Benjamin sat alone in the room, enduring his headache and thinking about the next solution.
Today's results are indeed good, but... can they really kill the enemy like this
The church is not a fool. When they find that a strong attack is ineffective, they will inevitably take other measures. And more importantly, with Benjamin's current state, it would be difficult to face Grant head-on.
"Analyze, how long will it take for me to fully recover?" He suddenly spoke and gave instructions to the system.
"Due to some special reasons, I can't analyze your mental power." The system said lazily, "But didn't those potion mages get healing potions for you? Why are you in a hurry? Just drink it slowly and disappear."
"Can I not be in a hurry..."
When Benjamin heard this, he looked at the empty potion bottles on the table and shook his head helplessly.
Many of the academy's potion mages also came to Rock City to refine potions for him that could heal his mental power. However, mental power failure is a relatively rare situation, and there are very few types of medicines. The mages conducted almost on-the-spot research to get the potions, but Benjamin could only drink those things with the mentality of a guinea pig.
—The materials selected by those mages are very mild, so there is no need to worry about side effects, but correspondingly, the therapeutic effect it can play is quite weak.
At least for now, Benjamin can't even last five minutes with the water element field open, let alone dreaming about "the coming of water".
It's...a headache in a double sense.
With no other option, Benjamin had no choice but to turn his thoughts away.
"That thing in the sky...can you fix it?" He asked the system again.
Under the night, the two mirrors of light and water still hung high in the sky above Rock City. They were as exquisite as a miracle, but they made everyone in the city feel uneasy.
You can't leave that thing hanging all the time, right? The amount of elements contained in the mirror is very terrifying. If any action accidentally breaks the mirror during the next attack, the entire Rock City may suffer.
Naturally, Benjamin couldn't let it go.
"Didn't you do that? How should I solve it?" the system replied without hesitation.
"But that thing must have something to do with the elemental plane, so can you please use your intuition and tell me how to solve it?"
"It's really troublesome." The system said disgustedly, "However, I don't think it is a dangerous phenomenon. All elements are in an absolutely static state, and the internal structure of the mirror is also very stable, and it is unlikely to have a destructive reaction."
"Then... is it possible for us to make use of it?"
"What do you want to do?" the system asked.
"The enemy is still surrounding me outside, and I have lost my combat effectiveness. Of course, I have to find a way to use everything I can use." Benjamin said in an expectant tone, "There are so many elements hidden in the mirror. If I can bombard the enemy's camp, Go, won’t we win for sure?”
"Well... you can try it."
"How to try?"
"Of course, use runes." The system said without hesitation, "But... the structure of the mirror is somewhat special. You may have to activate the runes in the void state to affect it."
"you sure?"
"It's just intuition. You'll know after you try it."
"All right… "
Benjamin touched his chin.
The system's frivolous tone made him feel a little bad, and he had a vague premonition of death. But other than that, there seems to be no other way. Therefore, he still planned to wait until the critical moment to try again.
The next day.
"Are they...still planning to continue the attack?"
The sound of artillery fire rang out continuously, waking the people of Rock City from their sleep. Continuous shells fell on the rune defense formation, and the holy light flashed so brightly that the entire city was polluted, and it also caused great trouble in observing the enemy's situation.
Standing on the city wall, Benjamin was almost blinded by the shock and had to squint his eyes and ask.
"I'm afraid they have other plans." The executive prime minister closed his eyes and shook his head. "Although the bombardment has continued, the intensity is far worse than before. It is impossible to break through the rune defense array. They want to rely on the Holy Spirit to The light interferes with our line of sight, and there may be other intentions.”
Benjamin couldn't help but feel speechless.
In order to attack the city, did the church even use this method
There are more than sixty holy light cannons in the place, and now only one is allowed to fire at a time. They are not trying to break the barrier, but let the holy light produced by the explosion dazzle their eyes here. And there are so many priests in the church, and they take turns to control them, and they can shoot each other in a few minutes. This is already a kind of terrible torture.
If this continues for a long time, someone may actually go blind.
Moreover, in addition, the dazzling holy light also had a great impact on their strategy.
"I suspect they want to use the interference of strong light to sneak around Rock City and attack Regina directly." The executive prime minister said in a more worried tone, "Although there are mountains nearby, this is the only way to Regina. But if they are determined to take a long way around and we can't detect them, things will become very difficult."
When Benjamin heard this, he couldn't help but frown deeply.
They have to think of some special way to deal with the opponent's damaging move...
at the same time.
"With this method, can we really force them to abandon the rune defense array and come out to fight us?" Grant asked casually while sitting in the camp, looking at the city in the distance bathed in the holy light.
"Your Majesty the Pope, you don't understand this." General Press smiled flatteringly. "To deal with a turtle huddled in its shell, hitting it hard with a hammer is the most laborious way. On the contrary, sometimes we just need to smoke it. If it is smoked, it will not be able to bear it and will run out of the shell."
"But a few days ago, you told me that we could easily break through Rock City's defense and kill all the mages in the city with just a strong attack."
“…”
General Press was speechless for a moment.
"Forget it, it's up to you. As long as you can force them out, you can use any method, whether it's yelling at them outside the city or blasting them with holy light." Grant turned his head and said slowly, "From the Bishop I will help you suppress your objections to the priest, and I hope you will not disappoint me."
Listening to the other party's tone of voice, General Press couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for some reason, so he could only nod his head hurriedly and responded repeatedly.
However, at this moment, a soldier suddenly ran in panic from outside the tent.
"General, general!"
"What's wrong?" Price was startled. He raised his head and looked at the soldier with a ferocious expression. "Don't yell if you have nothing to do. Didn't you see that His Majesty the Pope is here?"
As he spoke, he glanced cautiously at Grant, fearing that the pope would suddenly find something wrong and be dissatisfied, which would cause him to suffer as well.
"No... Well, General, the situation in Rock City seems to have changed."
Hearing this, Price was not surprised but delighted: "Rock City? We forced them out so quickly?"
"They didn't, general. That... Most of the soldiers guarding the city were originally stimulated by the holy light and left the city wall. However, they all ran back now, and they still stood on it, as if they were not afraid of the holy light dazzling their eyes. "
"How is that possible? You're talking nonsense!" Preston was shocked.
"General, it's true. You... you'll know when you come out and take a look."
After hearing this, Price turned pale and sweat poured down his forehead. At that moment, he didn't even dare to turn his head and look at the expression on Grant's face.
Not afraid of the Holy Light... Really
He really couldn't imagine what measures the other party had taken. However, if the people on Iker's side really have a way, what he just boasted in front of His Majesty the Pope... he doesn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Let's go out and take a look." Suddenly, Grant's voice reached his ears, startling him and suddenly he came back to his senses.
"Yes Yes… "
General Press nodded and walked out of the camp. Taking advantage of the interval between the bombardments of the Holy Light Cannon, they gradually approached Rock City, and then looked towards the city wall.
I saw rows of soldiers and mages standing on the city wall. They stood across the rune defense formation and faced the Pope and General Price who came to observe. Each of them had a fearless look on their face.
On their noses, there was a pair of glasses that General Price had never seen before. The dark glass lenses, which were coated with ink or something, blocked everyone's eyes. At the same time, they probably filtered out the strong light produced by the Holy Light cannonballs, allowing them to stand on the city wall fearlessly. superior.
The whole picture shows hundreds of thousands of people wearing the same black glasses, standing all over the city walls of Rock City. Pres looked at it from a distance, even though His Majesty the Pope was standing next to him, he felt inexplicably...losing.
