In the end, Benjamin returned to the newly built camp of the Black Nightmare Army.
No matter what, what they have to do now is to gain a foothold here and work hard to restore their former power. Looking at the sparse soldiers in the huge camp, Benjamin also felt the need to slowly replenish the combat power lost along the way.
"With our reputation, many people will definitely defect to us." Morris said in the meeting tent, "The only question is how much time we have to digest these people."
Several other people also nodded.
"The church must be in a hurry right now. They won't let us recuperate. We need combat power that can be formed in a short time."
Time is money, and Benjamin knows this. With the current financial situation and Elizabeth's permission, they can recruit a large number of soldiers in Crewe Town. However, the influx of a large number of novices will definitely reduce the training level of the entire army, and it will take a lot of effort to regain its combat effectiveness.
It's really hard for them to adopt a rapid expansion approach.
So, after deliberation to the end, Benjamin decided to take some extraordinary measures.
"You should have already studied the telekinesis classics we got from the island, right?" He looked at the two siblings and asked solemnly, "So... regarding the technique of using telekinesis to control monsters, you guys should learn How far is it?”
When the two siblings heard this, they looked at each other.
"It's not difficult to control Warcraft, but if you want to command a large number of Warcraft to join the war, you need to consume a lot of mental energy." The young man replied, "Besides, we must first have Warcraft to command. We cannot control them for a long time. , there must be a special place to keep those monsters in a non-combat state."
Benjamin nodded without hesitation and said: "We will find a way to do this, and there will definitely be a sufficient supply of potions to restore mental power. You just need to promise that those beasts will charge into battle for us when the time comes."
"no problem."
"good!"
Benjamin perked up.
Compared to trump cards, commanding Warcraft is actually more of a bottom line. This method actually existed a long time ago, just because the impression of Warcraft in people's minds is so bad. There are many examples in history where trying to raise Warcraft resulted in disasters. Therefore, Benjamin was afraid of affecting the image of the mage and the Black Nightmare Army, so he never took it out.
But today, they seem to have no better solution.
He still vaguely remembered that when he first entered Icol, he obtained another method of controlling "warcraft" from a group of pirates - humans could forcibly transform ordinary beasts into temporary beasts through some bloody processes. of Warcraft. But the disadvantage is that those pseudo-Warcraft look scarier than the real World of Warcraft, and their lifespan is extremely short, and they require a tedious training process, so they are definitely not useful.
Anyway... After the meeting, they got to work immediately.
The dozen telekinesis spellcasters secretly trained by the academy immediately followed the two siblings to practice the skills of controlling monsters; Morris began to design a cage for holding monsters; some soldiers and mages went to Crewe Town, preparing to recruit some new recruits on a small scale. Blood; and Benjamin himself set off with dozens of mages and flew to the mountains that stretched along the border.
-Although the church once cleaned up this mountain, it was not completely cleaned up. If Benjamin remembered correctly, this is the main living place of griffons.
"How many are we going to catch?"
Benjamin thought for a while and said: "Five hundred, this is the limit of what they can drive."
The destructive power of five hundred griffons on the battlefield is unimaginable. Although there are so many of them, the "control" mentioned by the two siblings is just to command them to rush in a specific direction. However, as long as they are allowed to rush into the enemy camp and then let them do whatever they want, the church will probably be very happy. Hard to handle.
Of course... they have to catch five hundred of them on this mountain first.
This heavy number also made the mages accompanying Benjamin a little stunned, and they wiped the sweat from their foreheads. Griffins are powerful and accustomed to appearing in groups, making it difficult for ordinary mages to cope with them. Therefore, this time Benjamin brought with him all mages who were proficient in the water element.
- He really doesn't want to bring a group of guys with attributes that conflict with his own, and end up being tied up when the time comes.
"This mountain... is really desolate."
It had been more than an hour since they had flown here, and they didn't encounter even ordinary monsters on the way. Looking at the bare mountain walls, some mages from the Hori Kingdom couldn't help but sigh. Back then, this mountain range filled with monsters was the biggest obstacle to them smuggling out of the country.
Benjamin nodded and said nothing.
In order to intercept him, the church began to clear the entire mountain range of monsters, and then set up a blockade on the top of the mountain. Of course he would not tell all this, but he just hoped that their targets would not be slaughtered by the church.
They searched for more than two hours in the mountains, flying deeper and deeper. Benjamin kept turning on the water element induction method, and the system scanned everywhere. Finally, when passing by a narrow crack, the system suddenly shouted: "Wait! Stop for a moment."
Benjamin raised his hand to signal the team to stop, and then asked in his mind: "What's wrong?"
"Inside this crack... you can take a look first."
"Do you have any monsters?"
The system hesitated for a moment and said: "I'm not sure, but this place is very narrow, and the church might miss it when it is cleaning up. And according to my detection, through this narrow crack, the terrain inside seems to be very open. This place There may be a cave inside the mountain."
When Benjamin heard this, he also nodded and pointed to the valley towards the mages. They have been searching in the mountains for so long without even seeing Mao. If they continue like this, they will have no choice but to give up this method and cross the border to find prey in Ikol.
The mages understood and their eyes lit up with runes. With the gathering of water elements, several drill-like vortexes were soon aimed at the crack.
-They can't even get in without cutting it open.
The water vortex rushed up and was nailed to the stone wall. Sparks flew out for a while, and the sharp sound made everyone frown. But after a while, they drilled open the originally narrow crack and turned it into a tunnel for several people to pass through. And standing at the entrance of the tunnel, there seemed to be a weak wind blowing from the other end.
Seeing this, everyone looked at each other and nodded.
Benjamin flew at the front, and the rest of the people followed, and they all flew into the tunnel in a whoosh. About ten seconds later, Benjamin flew out of the tunnel. The sun fell on his face again, and he felt suddenly enlightened.
However, the next second, a harsh cry also came from above them.
