From the moment Benjamin led his army into the camp, the situation had completely turned to their side.
It is estimated that there should be nearly 100,000 soldiers left in the entire camp, but because they lost their command, they were wandering around like headless flies. Some of them didn't even have time to put on their armor, and they were already trapped in a bitter battle. .
A total of 70,000 people in Ikol participated in this raid, but for some reason, every soldier of the Hori Kingdom had the illusion that there were enemies everywhere.
"Where is His Majesty the Pope? Where is the Bishop? Where is the Captain... The Captain is also missing?"
Everyone's mood was mixed with confusion and despair. No one told them what to do. They could only rely on their own instincts to fight, rush through the crowd, and finally die in confusion.
And it is difficult for the remaining priests and bishops in the camp to escape the pursuit of the mages.
Originally, the church had the most advantage in joint spellcasting, but in this chaotic situation, all the priests were scattered in various corners of the camp, and had to be caught in a melee with the mages. They had no chance of jointly casting spells. .
Benjamin was even more independent in the battlefield, using systematic detection to specifically find those difficult bishops to attack. The mental trauma caused some damage to his strength, but those bishops were already fighting other mages, and a few ice needles flew out from dark corners. How could they prevent them
In short...the night attack plan was even smoother than they imagined.
"You, you shameless bastard, when His Majesty the Pope comes back, he will not bypass you, he will kill you all one by one!"
In the chaotic battlefield, a bishop fell to the ground, stared at Benjamin fiercely, and said in a painful and low voice. There were countless curses hidden in the vicious eyes.
Benjamin smiled slightly and looked at him condescendingly.
"I really envy you religious believers. This kind of spiritual victory method... is really invincible." He said slowly, "Unfortunately, if you like to place your hopes on other things, you will never be strong. day."
After saying that, countless ice spikes grew out of the bishop's flesh and blood, completely ending his life.
Benjamin turned his head and flew into the sky, overlooking the entire battlefield that was coming to an end from a high place.
"… we won."
Looking at the devastated camp and the corpses everywhere, he suddenly felt an unspeakable emotion and said this. This was not the first time that people in the church trembled in front of him, but this was the first time that he had truly "defeated" the church.
An overwhelming defeat.
This behemoth shrouded in the holy light gradually became less huge in Benjamin's eyes.
Even the system spoke up and said in a voice with a bit of emotion: "Yes, it's not easy. I, an ordinary and insignificant artificial intelligence, endured humiliation and lived quietly, developing silently. In the end, I relied on my intelligence to carry the whole audience and save the world." I killed Ikol and countless Zimings in this country. Ah, I am so great!"
"...This action plan has nothing to do with you."
"Whatever, I'm great anyway."
Benjamin shook his head helplessly.
With such a disturbance, his mood just now was completely destroyed by the system.
However, now is indeed not the time to be complacent. Benjamin drank another bottle of spiritual recovery potion and flew into the battlefield to speed up the final finishing process.
And after half an hour, finally, the last priest fell, the last enemy raised his hands and surrendered, and Ikol achieved a comprehensive victory in this surprise battle.
The soldiers raised their heads, wiped the blood from their eyelids, and showed tired expressions. Looking around, the entire camp was in a mess. Corpses were piled on the ground like food in a warehouse, and they looked extremely tragic under the light of the fire.
"...Many priests took advantage of the chaos to escape. Do you want to chase them?" The president flew to Benjamin and asked in a low voice.
"Let them run, there is no point in pursuing them." Benjamin glanced around and said slowly, "Take everything you need to bring and return to Rock City."
Don't forget, although Grant was lured away, they had been fighting for almost two hours. No matter how stupid Grant is, he should understand what this is all about.
The other party may come back at any time.
Hearing this, the president nodded and understood what Benjamin meant. They didn't have time to clean the battlefield, take away the prisoners, and hurriedly picked up the remaining fifty Holy Light Cannons in the camp, returned to Rock City, and finally burned the entire camp to the ground.
About half an hour later, they stood on the wall of Rock City again and looked towards the west.
The flames soared into the sky, almost turning the dark sky white.
"Master Dean, you and the Academy of Magic will be Icol's eternal benefactor." The executive prime minister looked at the fire, lost in thought, and suddenly turned his head and said.
Benjamin shook his head.
Even the current officials in power don't know the many secrets about the former Queen's downfall and Ikol's change of government. Therefore, they would not know the profound impact Benjamin had on this country.
benefactor? Enemy? I can’t even figure it out…
"Don't be too happy yet. The army from Horli Kingdom is still outside, and their pope has only been temporarily diverted." Benjamin changed the subject and said.
However, nearly everyone's thinking has become extremely optimistic.
"What else is there to say? The overall situation has been decided." The Prime Minister turned his head and pointed at the fifty Holy Light Cannons that were pulled closer to the city. He said with confidence, "Now, even if we go out to fight head-on, we can still The remaining troops of the Hori Kingdom fought back.”
Benjamin nodded: "That's true, it's just..."
However, he had other worries.
Why hasn't Grant returned yet
About three hours had passed since he was led away, and Benjamin had neither seen any trace of Grant nor received any response from Miles or the decoy mage. What happened over there
You know, Benjamin gave Miles the key related to the inheritance of the church. He had confidence in Miles's strength and specifically asked him to keep the key. However, after so much time passed, Benjamin began to feel that something was not right.
Could it be that... Grant really took the key back
But even if he grabs it, it's time to return to the camp at this time, right? It's really strange to be so silent now, as if Grant didn't come at all.
Benjamin was filled with questions. However, he couldn't guess what happened, so he could only return to his residence and wait patiently for a reply from Miles.
The soldiers in Rock City have just experienced a big battle. They are physically and mentally exhausted and need to rest. If anything happens, they can only wait until tomorrow to solve it.
The noisy Rock City gradually fell into silence again, and the fire in the distance extinguished little by little with the passage of time. In the end, only a blackened and messy ruins remained.
At about three or four o'clock in the night, finally, the sound-transmitting wood chips started to vibrate after being silent for a long time.
At the call of the system, Benjamin got up in a daze and activated the sound transmission wood chips. However, after listening to that brief voice, he suddenly woke up from his sleep.
What came out of the wood chips was Miles's voice:
"They're attacking Regina right now, you'd better get here as soon as possible!"
