Early the next morning, the news spread throughout the Hori Kingdom as if it had wings.
"The Black Nightmare Army has officially revolted!"
"It was just last night that Coster was beaten down by them. The tragic scene... the door was flooded with blood! The Royal Army was no match for them at all. They could die and escape. Now things are really going to change. Oh my god!"
"Have you heard? Now the Black Nightmare Army has occupied Koster and uses it as their stronghold. All those who are dissatisfied with the church are welcome to defect."
This time, people across the country were completely shocked. They knew about the existence of the Black Nightmare Army, and they also knew that the Church had suffered a lot at the hands of that group of people, but after all, they had been hiding and had not had a head-on confrontation with the Church's army, so it seemed a bit trivial.
Therefore, when the Black Nightmare Army began to attack, everyone was shocked.
—This means that they are already on the same level as the church.
For a time, the people's morale was in chaos. Some people packed up their belongings and fled from the southern part of Horli Kingdom quickly, not wanting to be involved in the dispute between the two sides; some people were refreshed, and after inquiring about the news, they rushed towards Coster without hesitation...
And this scene was completely formed spontaneously by the people, and Benjamin didn't even do anything behind the scenes.
At this moment, he was still busy taking over the Black Nightmare army.
"Are you the first ones to come here?"
On the morning of the second day after the capture of Koster, Benjamin flew to the east of the kingdom, contacted through wood chips, and received the first and relatively important group of soldiers.
- Morris took a dozen technical talents and soldiers together, pretending to be fleeing passers-by, and holding the princess in his arms, waiting for Benjamin to pick them up at the agreed place.
"Well, we came here in a chariot." Morris nodded and pointed to the chariot disguised as a carriage behind them. "The people behind may be a little slower, but after all, they are moving in separate directions. Even if a few teams are moved by Interception will not hinder the overall situation."
Benjamin also nodded after hearing this.
He personally took action just to pick up the important people and ensure that they arrived without incident. It was impossible to pick up everyone. The Black Nightmare Army had just occupied Coast, and there were still many things waiting for him to do there.
Therefore, he quickly waved his hand, unfolded the water element domain, and brought the group of people and the chariot into the sky. Under the clear sky, Benjamin didn't bother to cover his tracks. He just made a large ship out of ice and flew quickly towards Coster.
"I...where are we going?"
Flying in the air, the princess was held in the arms of the soldier. The howling wind from outside woke her up. She broke away from the soldiers' arms and walked to the edge of the cabin. She looked at the passing sky and earth through the ice, and gradually revealed a look of horror.
Benjamin stood aside, turned his head when he heard this, and smiled softly.
"We will take you to see your father."
He tried to comfort the princess, but when he said it, he realized that these words... didn't sound very comforting, but rather a bit disturbing.
Fortunately, at her age, the princess didn't quite understand what she meant.
"Father...Father...I want to see the queen mother." She looked at the ground outside the ice, tilting her head with a confused expression. She quickly pursed her mouth, as if she was about to cry.
Benjamin suddenly felt a headache.
"Good little girl, why are you provoking people?" The system also appeared, gloating and complaining, "You know how to make people angry with just one mouth, and you can't even say a nice word?"
Benjamin scratched his head and ignored the system.
He winked at the soldiers on the side. The soldier must have been taking care of the princess for some time. He nodded understandingly, picked up the princess and coaxed her, trying to divert her attention away.
However, this time, the princess seemed a bit difficult to coax.
"I... my father is dead... wuwu... my mother is also dead..." At first it was just sobbing, but later it turned into howling. Even Morris on the other side of the cabin was alarmed. He turned his head and glanced at Benjamin with disgust.
Benjamin was speechless.
What did he say at the beginning about being a father and not a father
"...Don't cry. Whatever you like to eat, I'll buy it for you later." Benjamin was so barren that he could only squeeze out this sentence in the end.
After the princess heard this, her crying gradually became quieter.
She gradually stopped sobbing, rubbed her eyes, raised her head, and stared at Benjamin blankly. At that moment, the innocent and ignorant expression suddenly changed, like a dazzling lamp suddenly having all its power drained away.
- Her expression became still and indifferent, and even looked a little evil when paired with her childish face.
"I want to eat your flesh."
She grinned and laughed like a puppet, and the atmosphere in the entire ice ship condensed.
Benjamin was stunned.
"you… "
But the princess put away her smile and spoke, her tone full of abnormal sophistication: "Those who offend the gods will only have one ending in the end. Devil, all of your people are already dead."
"W-what..."
Everything in front of him was so weird that Benjamin's heart couldn't help but beat wildly. He looked at the princess who was close at hand, and suddenly felt a little familiar in her expression.
—The expression and tone were very similar to every priest he had ever met.
These things, paired with that childish face and voice, showed an extremely strong sense of dissonance, as if... as if someone else was speaking with her face and voice!
Benjamin's heart was startled at first, then cooled down, and he fell to the bottom in an instant.
"What did you do?" He suddenly grabbed the "Princess" shoulders and asked with a cold face.
"Princess" gave a sneer and shook her head.
"You'll find out soon enough."
After saying that, she closed her eyes, and the priest's unique hypocritical expression gradually disappeared from her face. After a while, everything quickly returned to normal, and she fell asleep, breathing steadily, as if nothing happened.
Everyone had a look of astonishment on their faces, and the soldiers didn't even dare to step forward and approach the princess.
But a few seconds later, Benjamin suddenly raised his head and waved his hand!
The ice boat turned around and headed straight towards Pearl Lake!
"F-Master Master... this is..."
After a moment of shaking, the soldier came back to his senses, looked at the princess sleeping on the ground, and then at Benjamin, who looked extremely bad, and spoke with a look of astonishment on his face, wanting to know what happened just now.
But at this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from a very far away place. It sounded like a mountain collapsed. Even though it was a very long distance away, it still reached the ears of everyone on the ship.
At that moment, they looked forward and saw a large amount of thick smoke suddenly rising on the distant horizon. Then, the ground below seemed to tremble slightly, and the model-like trees became swaying before their eyes.
Benjamin suddenly clenched his fists.
"...it's Pearl Lake...the direction of the tunnel." Morris looked at the thick smoke in the distance, suddenly took a deep breath, and closed his eyes forcefully.
