As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the church couldn't help but change, and the bishop became even more nervous. Killing the princess on the spot is absolutely possible for the other party to do such a thing.
They became a little embarrassed again.
"...Are you scared?" Grant narrowed his eyes and said with a hint of provocation, "You don't even have the courage to fight head-on, and you only dare to threaten us with a child who has no power to fight back?"
Benjamin snorted coldly: "Don't talk about yourself so high-sounding. What you did to her is many times dirtier than me."
"We are fulfilling God's will, and you are seeking your own death."
As he spoke, Grant stretched out his hand again, and a piece of holy light spread out. The tall light wall in front of him suddenly began to deform, and the shape of the spear gradually appeared from it. For a moment, cold murderous intent filled the entire sky, and the atmosphere became even more tense.
But at this moment, the bishop looked at Grant's actions and nodded understandingly. He took out a small silver bead from his pocket, crushed it, and a vague wave carrying some kind of information spread out.
—They're going to start calling people.
Following that fluctuation, the paladins and priest troops in the area around Pearl Lake suddenly got up and moved out in unison, rushing to the location of Grant and Benjamin. As if they didn't want to be noticed, they were extremely careful as they arrived, like assassins, and quietly began to build an encirclement.
And at the same time as church reinforcements arrived...
"Hand over your majesty, otherwise, I will let you and the ship sink in this place." Grant said this after using the holy light to condense an astonishing array of spears, without launching an attack.
The rest of the church hid behind him, watching Benjamin's movements carefully.
The bishop was alert. The current situation is still unclear, and there is no guarantee of victory if they start a war rashly, but they have already called for reinforcements. As long as they wait a little longer and the reinforcements arrive, they will be invincible!
Therefore, they must hold off here and not take action too early.
And Benjamin did not start attacking immediately.
"The enemy is the enemy. You don't really think that I will believe your nonsense, do you?" He carried the princess, and suddenly an ice blade condensed in his hand, and he put it on her neck. "If you don't want her to die, that's fine. , in exchange for your lives."
One of the priests immediately shouted: "It's full of nonsense! It's just wishful thinking!"
Whoosh!
A very thin ice needle suddenly flew out from the oblique side, bypassed Grant's Holy Light Spear, and headed straight for the priest. However, just before the ice needle was about to penetrate the back of his heart, Grant turned his eyes and a ball of holy light flew away, blocking the ice needle.
The priest was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. It was only now that he realized that he had walked near the door of death, and he suddenly fainted.
But... so far, the two sides still haven't started fighting.
"Shut up if you don't want to die. You have no right to speak here." Benjamin said coldly.
"Messenger of God, say whatever you want." Grant raised his hand, and layers of holy light protected them around them, forming a huge ball of light that enveloped everyone in the church.
The bishop secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Looks like I'm really stuck...
The demon was probably also afraid of His Majesty the Pope's strength and did not take action rashly. However, because the Black Nightmare Army was destroyed, he couldn't take this breath, so he refused to leave. He could only hold the hostage here and speak harshly.
There was no way this demon could really kill the princess - without a hostage in hand, the situation was even worse for him. So they can drag out the situation as long as they want, and wait until the reinforcements arrive and lay a dragnet, which is when this demon will be punished!
In this way, time passed by minute by minute. Benjamin had been in a stalemate with everyone in the church for a long time. From time to time, there would be small sneak attacks and confrontations, but there was never a real fight. The ice blade stopped at the princess's neck, but never moved an inch further, and the princess had already fainted.
About half an hour passed.
"… coming."
The surrounding thick smoke gradually dissipated, and suddenly, more than a dozen figures emerged from the thick smoke, flying in from all angles and surrounding the ice ship. They were all wearing the red robes of a bishop, and more than a dozen eyes fell on Benjamin.
Following this, more priests flew out from all directions. Like locusts passing through the border, dense crowds of figures stopped behind the dozen bishops. For a moment, even the sky was mostly covered.
At the same time, figures of Paladins continued to appear on the ground. They crawled along the collapse, arranged in groups, as if woven into a silver-gray carpet. Everyone stared at Benjamin in the air, with their shields raised high, ready to use their lives to waste even a little bit of Benjamin's mental energy.
In short... In about ten seconds, the empty Pearl Lake area instantly became crowded. And thousands of pairs of eyes, filled with pure murderous intent at this moment, only fell on one person.
"You have no escape."
Grant let out a cold snort, and spoke word by word with the impatience that finally no longer needed to be pretended.
Benjamin looked around the densely packed circle.
"So... you transferred all the available people nearby just to kill me?" His expression remained unchanged and he stared at Grant indifferently. "Do you really think that more people are useful?"
Grant, however, had no interest in talking nonsense anymore.
He waved his hand violently, and the spears of Holy Light that had been waiting in the air for an unknown length of time finally vibrated one by one at this moment. Then, the huge spear cut through the sky and headed straight for Benjamin!
At the same time, the bishops led countless priests and began to jointly cast spells. Large swaths of holy light are gathering here, and the light element reaches an unprecedented and terrifying concentration in an instant!
Benjamin just raised his eyebrows.
At that moment, he suddenly spoke and read out a short and simple syllable. Then, a blue elf-like figure flashed past his shoulder, and then, faint blue runes appeared around the entire ice ship.
The next second, the Holy Light Spear struck first.
boom! boom! boom!
Before the spear approached the ice ship, it seemed to hit some invisible wall and exploded violently. The dazzling holy light shot out like a scorching sun.
In front of the ice ship, a large net composed of blue filaments suddenly appeared. Looking carefully, each filament is made of a huge amount of extremely compressed water elements, and a large net also blocks the spears of Holy Light.
"Hmph... This alone can't help me."
Benjamin's voice came from the splashing holy light. Everyone in the church was shocked, but when they looked up, they found that the ice ship suddenly rushed out of the dazzling light.
—The ice ship headed straight for the weakest point of the encirclement.
The bishop was stunned for a moment, and then shouted anxiously: "Quick! Stop him! Don't let him escape!"
