"… have not Get it yet?"
At this moment, the government hall in Coster was as silent as a frozen lake. Grant stood above, looking coldly at the silent crowd below, and asked.
Among the people below, there were priests, paladins, and local officials, but they all just lowered their heads and no one dared to speak.
"Tell me how long it will take you to find this person." Grant sounded calm, but it made everyone below tremble again.
"Your Majesty the Pope, this kind of thing...can't be rushed." The priest standing at the front could only bite the bullet and said, "We have sealed the entire city, and he will definitely not be able to escape. Besides, we only have five people. If five people come to burn the ground, one day he will be unable to bear it and run out."
Grant said nothing and stared at the priest expressionlessly.
"Your Majesty..." Cold sweat began to break out on the priest's forehead.
"Since he is good at hiding, what about the king? It's just a city, but why didn't you even find the king?" Grant suddenly said.
"This...His Majesty the King must have been taken by him, disguised and hid in a corner." The priest quickly explained, "His Majesty the Pope, please be patient. We...we will definitely be able to find him."
"Affirmative? What if they are not in Coaster at all? What if they have escaped?" Grant immediately asked back, "How can you be sure?"
"We have accurate information. They are indeed in Koster." The priest lowered his head and said, "Besides... Moreover, we also read from the memories of those rebels that that person took over with them last night."
Hearing this, Grant snorted coldly and stopped questioning.
But at this moment, the door of the government hall was suddenly pushed open, and several paladins hurried in, stopped in front of Grant, and knelt down on one knee.
"His Majesty the Pope, the latest news..."
Grant frowned: "What news?"
"In the three towns to the north, the local churches were attacked one after another, and none of the resident priests was spared!" The paladin's voice trembled slightly, "And... according to the description of local residents, someone saw a figure flying in the sky at the time of the murder. And... and every victim mage was frozen to death by magic."
“…”
The entire hall fell silent at this moment.
The priest who had the courage to speak just now was like a thunderbolt. He froze in place, and the robe on his back was wet with cold sweat.
Silence, a long silence, no one dared to look at the mouth to speak, and no one dared to look up at Grant's expression.
"...Is this what you mean by 'certain'?" After an unknown amount of time, Grant's voice floated above their heads, and in the priest's ears, there was an out-of-body feeling.
"Your Majesty, I... I..."
He spoke tremblingly, but his mind went blank and he couldn't explain anything.
The next second, screams came from the government hall. The guard outside the door shuddered when he heard it, and stood up straight quickly, not daring to take another look inside.
At the same time, Benjamin had just left the fifth church.
"My, my God... Father, what happened?" Exclamations came from the town below, but he was flying in the air and didn't care. He just took the king and the two siblings to fly higher and higher, toward Fly to the next target city.
In just one and a half hours, more than ten priests were killed by him.
The two siblings and the king were both a little shocked. They followed Benjamin now, with a little awe in their eyes. It's not that they were really scared, it was just that Benjamin's usual easy-going was in sharp contrast to this moment.
Especially the king, in fact, this was the first time he saw Benjamin fight. The priests were like paper figures, standing in front of him for less than half a second before turning into ice sculptures in an instant, and his expression was almost as if he had just trampled an ant to death.
... No, he would frown if he accidentally stepped on an ant, but when facing the priest, he really wouldn't even blink.
The king had heard a lot about Benjamin's deeds in the past, but at this time, he truly felt why the church, which had always been fearless, kept his name secret.
"...Master Benjamin, do you plan to wash all the churches with blood?" The king couldn't help but ask.
"What? No, how is that possible?" Benjamin turned his head and shrugged, "Even if I want to do this, the church won't let me do it. If I kill three more to get my money back, I'm ready to stop."
His tone was much more relaxed than at the beginning, probably because his anger after killing so many people had been vented. The king listened from behind and felt that the familiar Benjamin was back again, and his psychological pressure was relieved a lot.
Just... get your money back
The king felt that it made sense, but there was something a little strange about it.
"Those priests don't seem to be very strong. In fact, we can work separately and we can also get a few churches." The girl came back to her senses and said with a little itchiness.
Benjamin shook his head when he heard this.
"If you also take action, the clues will be messed up." He said slowly, "If you want to lure Grant here, you must make him clearly realize that I did all this, and my next city may be so-and-so. It’s the location that matters.”
"… All right."
In fact, two hours ago, Benjamin stood calmly outside Coster and quickly realized that this was his only choice.
There was no way he could rush in and save people, playing into the enemy's hands. At that point in time, the only advantage he could take advantage of was the church's misunderstanding - the church thought he was trapped in the city and wanted to force him out, so it concentrated most of its power on Coster and did not do anything else. No defense.
This also gave him a chance.
If you kill my people, I will kill yours. While venting your anger, you can also divert the church's attention. He wasn't sure whether this would be able to rescue the people of the Black Nightmare Club, but at least... it could rescue the remaining members who were not arrested.
"Master Dean, they have begun to stop the search!" The latest news soon came from the sound transmission wood chips, "The city blockade has not been lifted yet, but there is news that the church's large forces have left Coster and are heading towards Tracked to the north."
Hearing this, Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief.
"...It's a pity that the remaining three cannot be slaughtered."
He suddenly stopped and started to land with the king and two siblings, and quickly hid in the woods below. Under the dark night, the woods were silent. A few people were hiding inside, doing nothing but waiting patiently.
About half an hour later, a large group of priests suddenly appeared in the sky.
