Grant rushed outside the camp in an instant.
Outside the camp, the soldiers on both sides looked frightened and looked in the same direction, not knowing what was going on. But following their gazes, one could see a blurry figure moving away at an extremely fast speed.
"Quick! Stop him!"
When Grant saw this scene, he first wanted to fly over by himself, but suddenly he seemed to think of something, stopped, and began to command the soldiers in the camp.
The soldiers were stunned for two seconds, then raised their legs to chase after him. But unfortunately, in just these few seconds, the figure accelerated, escaped from the camp, and disappeared into the distant horizon. At this time, the soldiers had just started to take steps, and then they could only stop and look back at Grant helplessly, not knowing what to do.
Grant floated in the air, looking at the direction where the man disappeared, his expression became extremely ugly.
It was only then that the bishop came out of the tent.
"Fa, what happened?"
"... That mercenary." Grant was silent for a few seconds, then spoke in a suppressed voice, "That mercenary who was with the Magic Academy, when did he sneak here? Why didn't anyone notice it? Where's the warning bell?"
Suddenly, the surrounding soldiers fell silent and did not dare to speak.
The bishop realized what had happened, and his expression changed drastically: "This... how much did he overhear? Then our battle plan... No, Your Majesty, we must take action immediately! If he finds out about that, our entire operation will be ruined. Complete failure!"
And Grant obviously realized the seriousness of the situation.
"There's no time to rest. Hurry! Everyone get moving. We'll set off in ten minutes, and we must reach Coaster tonight!" He immediately gave the order, "In addition, inform the fleet that they must also start to speed up. !”
The entire royal army camp was in panic again.
At the same time, about a kilometer away from the Royal Army camp, Miles ran quickly and took out the sound-transmitting wood piece.
"Quickly withdraw from Koster. If you don't withdraw, it will be too late!" He said towards the wood chips, "The Royal Army has prepared a secret fleet, loaded with dozens of Holy Light Cannons, and is going around the sea, planning to Attack from the front and back, the whole city will be surrounded by them!"
Soon, a weak magic wave spread, transmitting this message to Coster.
After doing this, he stopped on the side of the road and found a bush to hide his traces. Acceleration and stealth consumed a lot of his physical strength, and the effect of the potion had ended. At this moment, he could only wait for his physical strength to recover before continuing to act, which made him feel a little worried.
The delay time of the sound transmission wood chips was more than an hour. He only hoped that within this hour, the Royal Army would not have time to take action and Benjamin could lead his people to evacuate in time. Otherwise, he himself may not be able to reach Coster. If the Black Nightmare Army fails to withdraw, the situation will definitely be very bad.
A few minutes later, Miles, who was hiding in the bushes and lying on the ground, suddenly heard a rumbling sound. The Royal Army has already passed by, and the horses' hooves galloped across the ground, like an airtight drumbeat, which made those who listened feel chest tight.
Miles couldn't help but take a deep breath.
At the same time, most people didn't realize how rushed the night was.
At least...Coster doesn't know.
"Those kind of flame pigs that can self-destruct. If you have time, get more of them now." In the hut at the gate of the city, Benjamin said to the two rune research mages, "If we are ready to fight, they will definitely Can shine on the battlefield."
He has not received information about the Royal Army from Miles, but in his opinion, as long as Elizabeth is willing to support, they will defend Coster's capital. And if you want to defend this city, you must be prepared for a battle.
The fortifications in the city are already being rebuilt, and it would be better if the other side could produce more "war machines".
—like pigs.
"As long as there are enough materials and experimental subjects, we will start doing it right away." The two mages did not refuse and immediately nodded in agreement.
And Benjamin must have prepared these things long ago and can only produce them. And in fact, he has already figured out a better way to use this self-destructing creature - a way to detonate it without sacrificing the lives of his own soldiers or forming a suicide squad.
The church will be pleasantly surprised.
In this way, Benjamin left the hut and came to the magic production area in the city. It was night, but the entire production area was still busy. He walked around and finally entered the deep laboratory and found Morris who was busy.
"Do I want everything out?"
"It has been assembled and placed in the warehouse, ready for use at any time." Morris nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It seems that you are really planning to defend this city. To be honest, everyone is invested now." Production and various equipment cannot be packed, which will be inconvenient if we need to evacuate."
"It doesn't matter, just be ready." Benjamin comforted, "If we really need to retreat, we can also leave those burdens behind. After all, talents are the most important."
Upon seeing this, Morris nodded and said nothing more.
However, just as Benjamin turned to leave and was about to go to the warehouse to check, suddenly, his sound transmission wood chip vibrated slightly.
"...It seems there is news." Benjamin was stunned for a moment, and then took it out of his pocket.
A rather fierce voice came from inside.
"Master Benjamin! Little Elizabeth... No, the Duke has agreed to support, and they have now begun to dispatch reinforcements. The Duke will also personally go out, with many mages, and he will definitely be able to reach Coster in less than three days!"
After hearing this, Benjamin perked up, and Morris beside him nodded in surprise.
"They are so decisive." Morris looked at Benjamin and said with a bit of surprise, "It seems that we can really defend Coster this time!"
Benjamin also smiled and said: "After all, we are allies. The more strength we have, the more success rate we have in eradicating the church. We have also helped the Wood family a lot. Elizabeth is not that kind of person. They will definitely come to help us. of."
Although Duke Colin's plan is still unclear, allies are allies, and they don't need to hold grudges.
You can order an all-out defense of the city.
Even Morris rolled out in a wheelchair, preparing to leave the laboratory and go to the production area to notify other mages. But strangely, the piece of sound-transmitting wood that Benjamin had just put back in his pocket suddenly started buzzing and shaking again.
"So what..."
The two of them frowned in unison.
