And at the same time.
"That's all right. Bring the prisoners back to the camp. Split into two teams and continue searching. If you find any traces of the priest, notify us immediately. The remaining people will go back with us."
The pursuit battle in the Battle of Crewe Town came to an end, and nearly the entire Royal Army was captured, and a large number of priests also died in the pursuit. As for the remaining enemies, they had already taken advantage of this period of time to escape without a trace, and there was no point in pursuing them. So, Benjamin nodded and gave the order to withdraw his troops.
In fact, even if those priests were allowed to run away, they would not be able to make any waves.
—Half an hour ago, they received a message from Elizabeth. Havenright had fallen and St. Peter's Basilica was destroyed. Where could these priests go
The church is finished.
"Don't be careless. The current Pope is still alive and well. If we don't find him out, this battle will still not be over." Miles said as he walked from a distance and looked around.
"I know." Benjamin nodded and said, "However, if he is really determined to hide, hide in the mountains or hide in a remote corner of the kingdom, I am afraid it will be difficult to find him by normal means. So. … This important task will be left to you!”
Suddenly, Miles was confused.
"Why...are you here on me again?"
"Besides you, who else can find a person in a huge crowd?" Benjamin patted him on the shoulder and said seriously, "No need to refuse, I know you have this ability! Go ahead, the future of the kingdom will be yours." It’s on you!”
“…”
Miles was speechless for a moment, and before he could even say anything, the task of finding Grant came to his shoulders.
As for Benjamin, he turned around and looked at the Griffin King.
After the spiritual power of the two siblings was exhausted, the Griffin King returned to his wild nature, and Benjamin could only weave a water cocoon again and trap it inside, but it was not an option to remain trapped like this. The original mountain belly couldn't be used anymore. In order to bring it out this time, they blasted a huge hole in the mountain belly. I'm afraid if he throws the Griffin King back with his front foot, this guy will run out to seek revenge on them.
There is nothing else to do right now. The work of cleaning up the battlefield can be left to others. He also planned to hold the prisoners of the Royal Army for a few days and then deal with them slowly. In short... After the battle was won, their situation was naturally much better. They didn't need to be as chaotic as fleeing. They could solve the problem of the Griffin King first.
However, after much deliberation and unable to come up with a solution, Benjamin could only drag the water cocoon and bring it back to Crewe Town.
The town of Crewe was very lively at this time.
With the fighting over, residents can finally open their homes and take to the streets again. Although there were corpses everywhere on the road and the smell was overwhelming, they were so excited that it was difficult to calm down.
- In just one day, these people witnessed too many things, including the defeat of the Royal Army, the Pope's escape... and the huge griffin controlled by Master Benjamin. Fear, doubt, excitement...all kinds of emotions were mixed together. They didn't know why they were excited, but they couldn't calm down.
The church... really failed.
Of course, when Benjamin came back dragging the Griffin King, they were so frightened that they hid back in their house.
"You have to get a cage for it."
Benjamin flew all the way into the Black Nightmare Army camp, found Maurice, dragged the Griffin King in the water cocoon to his wheelchair, and said this - of course, in order to complete this move, two tents in the camp were overturned, and there were still stains on the ground. A big hole appeared.
Morris was speechless.
"I might as well get myself a coffin."
"Please, just make one. No matter how much materials we have, we can afford it." Benjamin hurriedly advised, "Have you ever thought about what this means? Human beings have found a way to tame monsters. This is the beginning of a new century. . If one day, humans can freely control Warcraft, what will this world look like?"
"...What do you want to say?"
"You can imitate the principles of telekinesis and try to develop a magic item that can control monsters." In order to solve the problem of the existence of the Griffin King, Benjamin could say anything. "People over at the academy, listen. After telling me about its existence, I have already sent someone to ask for it, saying that I want to use it for experiments. But as long as you make this cage, from now on, it will be your research material, and no one can take it away!"
Upon hearing this, Morris narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at the Griffin King who was still struggling in the water cocoon.
"Just me?"
"That's right!"
"Okay, let me give it a try." Morris sighed helplessly and nodded.
Benjamin also breathed a sigh of relief.
All the production mages in the camp were gathered together to study the Griffin King's cage, and Benjamin could only maintain the water cocoon, trapping it inside, and waiting for them to make something. The trouble is, he waited all day and night, and his mental strength was almost exhausted. With the support of the magic potion and the help of his two siblings, he finally managed to get through the cage.
-A huge cage, with iron bars engraved with runes, stood in the camp of the Black Nightmare Army, and even the entire town of Crewe could see it.
After Benjamin confirmed that it was strong enough, he breathed a sigh of relief and threw the Griffin King in.
He wanted to go back and rest, but unfortunately the messenger from the royal capital had already arrived. He could only hold on to his energy, changed his clothes, and met the other party in the main camp tent.
"How is the situation in the royal capital?"
The messenger who came was a knight from the Wood family, and had also been in the Black Nightmare Army, so he had no reservations and said: "Master Dean, the situation in the capital is stable now. St. Peter's Cathedral has been completely burned by us, including the contents inside. Various collections of books, utensils... As you insisted at the meeting, nothing is left."
Benjamin nodded after hearing this.
It's a pity, but it's something they have to do.
"Be careful. Although we defeated the Royal Army, the Pope is still alive." He reminded, "With his strength, if he leads people to raid the Royal Capital, you will still be in big trouble."
The knight nodded and said: "The Duke sent me here for this reason. She hopes that the Magic Academy can support several magicians who are proficient in runes and help us build a rune defense array in the capital, so that we are not afraid of enemy raids. "
… So that’s the plan.
Benjamin was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything and immediately said he would send someone there. In fact, he could move there with the Black Nightmare Army, but Crusad Gate is also a military town after all, so they had better guard both sides to prevent Grant from suddenly appearing.
In this way, after carefully reporting the situation in the royal capital, the knight saluted, turned around and left with the assigned rune mage. Benjamin also breathed a sigh of relief, shuffled back to his tent, and fell asleep.
