In the end, this military meeting ended in a situation that many people did not expect.
"Your Majesty the Duke, do you really think we should do this? I mean... bypassing the church and attacking Havenright is too risky." After the representatives of the Black Nightmare Army left, the general of Wood's Army Turning to look at Elizabeth, she couldn't help but persuade.
"I understand." Elizabeth nodded and said, "However, after the church sends out troops, their defensive strength in the royal capital will definitely be greatly reduced - this is their desperate counterattack, so they will not leave themselves a way out. . By planning the route in advance, we may be able to approach the royal capital without anyone noticing."
"But even if we get close to the royal capital, we may not be able to capture it in a short time."
"It might have been difficult before, but now... we have this."
As she spoke, Elizabeth opened her palms, revealing a black cross and a fresh green ginkgo leaf.
This was what Benjamin handed to her personally at the end of the meeting.
This leaf is the key to the secret door of St. Peter's Cathedral, and this cross is a restraint weapon specially made by the Magic Academy. According to Benjamin's description, consuming this key and activating the cross will disable the entire Holy Light Barrier in Havenright for half an hour. And half an hour was enough for them to break into the empty cathedral.
Then, they only need a fire to completely destroy the foundation of the church!
One more thing to mention, that ginkgo leaf was once attached to the church's tracking spell, but after special processing by the Magic Academy, the tracking ability on it has long been removed, so there is no need to worry that the church may notice something is wrong.
When they saw the black cross and the key, everyone in Woodfang was shocked. They didn't expect that Benjamin had even prepared a secret weapon to attack the royal capital. Because of this, they finally passed this risky plan.
—The Black Nightmare Army guarded the town of Crewe and attracted the attention of the church. At the same time, the Wood Army secretly bypassed the Kingdom Army and captured Havenright in one fell swoop!
In this plan, the Black Nightmare Army actually took the initiative to bear most of the pressure. They will be responsible for resisting the church's desperate attack, and they must also hold people back. Correspondingly, Wood's army only had to face a royal capital that was not defended by many people. This was also the reason why there were not many people on Wood's army who opposed it in the end.
But of course, Wood Army didn’t pay nothing.
"Do you really want to leave the town of Crewe and the gate to the Black Nightmare Army to guard?" The general couldn't help but ask again.
"The church is here for them, and only they can attract the attention of the Royal Army." Elizabeth nodded and said, "Don't underestimate the Black Nightmare Army, let alone the Magic Academy. They are so confident, they must We have prepared a lot of unpredictable things, maybe we can really hold on.”
Hearing this, the general hesitated for a while, and then asked the question: "But... even if they can hold it, what if they occupy the gate and won't return it?"
In an instant, Elizabeth showed a serious face and stared at the general coldly: "General Trey, do you know what you are talking about? You are going to fight with your allies before the war has even started? You make me very sad. Disappointed, from this moment on, you are no longer the Major General of Wood’s Army, go back and reflect on it.”
The general was stunned.
Several other people in the room also showed somewhat surprised expressions.
"Sir, you can't do this to me..." The general was anxious and stepped forward to plead.
"You need to sober up." Elizabeth shook her head, and suddenly waved her hand, and a soft breeze blocked the opponent, "You don't need to participate in this attack. During this period, please go to the basement to reflect. No one is allowed to see him without my order."
After saying that, she opened the door, turned and left the room.
at the same time.
On the other side, Benjamin had just returned to the camp with his people.
Their expressions looked a little nervous, but at the same time there was a lot of excitement. The plan has been made, and they will face the church again. Although this is not the first time they have fought against the Royal Army, as long as they hold on again, this time will probably be the last time.
Once Wood's army succeeds in stealing a house, the church will never be able to recover.
Therefore, this defensive battle will be extremely important. They defended the town of Crewe, and the church was caught in the middle. It was attacked from both sides and was close to death. If they fail to hold on, the church will be able to survive for a while if they capture the gate. After such a long war, everyone desperately hopes that it will end soon.
They must hold Crewe.
"Start building the rune defense array. We have obtained permission." Benjamin waved to the two rune-specialized mages and said, "The rest of the people will also slowly move over. We will be stationed in the Crewe is in town.”
In fact, Elizabeth's nod to this plan was equivalent to handing over the town of Crewe to them. Although Benjamin was not very interested in fighting for territory, it was always inconvenient for the army to be stationed outside the town, so he accepted this with peace of mind.
The Black Nightmare Army began to pack things again, and the griffins they captured were also kept in special soundproof cages, covered with a layer of cloth, and prepared to be transported to the town.
—Currently, griffins are their biggest trump card, with a total of twenty-five in the camp. In fact, except for that valley, it has been difficult for them to find traces of the gryphon anywhere else, and because they have to reserve their mental power to control the gryphon king, the two siblings cannot take action, leaving only the mental spellcasters trained by the academy... This is the amount that can be controlled.
And even an ordinary griffon's combat effectiveness is astonishing.
Benjamin has tested that in a one-on-one battle, an ordinary mage cannot defeat a griffon at all. It would take at least five people combined to deal with it. After a lot of emergency training, those mental spellcasters can already ride on the back of the griffin, wearing armor and holding a heavy hammer. While controlling it to fight, they can also command their undead servants to fight in the field. The combat effectiveness is quite terrifying.
Not to mention the Griffin King.
In addition to this, he even started asking Ikol for help.
"For the reason that I helped you defend the country, sell me a few Holy Light Cannons." Benjamin used sound-transmitting wood chips to say to the president, "You can raise the price slightly, but don't raise it too high. Don't forget I sold those cannons to you too."
—During the transfer process, several of the Holy Light Cannons they originally owned were damaged, and there was nothing they could do about it.
In addition, the previous predicament of the Magic Academy has slowly been overcome. Students will definitely no longer be able to participate in the war, but they can send some teachers to support them as appropriate. Therefore, Benjamin also sent a message to Wallis... In short, this will be the most critical battle, and there is no need for them to hide it.
Under the setting sun, Benjamin looked at the suddenly busy camp, took a deep breath, and nodded secretly.
