Chapter 514: Long River Town’s New Look
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Benjamin was not in a hurry to return to Long River Town, and stopped for a while between Gealorre and Hill City.
The Church would definitely send another messenger. If the messenger they send were more eloquent, or if he had not enraged the Queen enough, with the real messenger going over to explain everything, it was very likely that the entire plan to divide them would fail.
Of course, Benjamin could not let this sort of thing happen.
Because of that, on a mountain path, he found the messenger that the Church had sent.
Without saying much, Benjamin hid in the shadows and killed the messenger with a shot— There could be monitor crosses on him, so Benjamin had better not reveal himself, and could only use this tactic.
After that, he left without looking back, not staying in the area any longer.
Killing the messenger would definitely delay the Church’s movements for a while. And after a few days, when the Queen’s army launched an attack near Gealorre, the conflict would be aggravated, and it would be impossible for them to ally anymore.
Having done all this, Benjamin spent another half day to return to Long River Town smoothly.
There was still no news about Miles, but Benjamin had lowered all expectations. This fellow had always been elusive like a phantom, and had always kept disappearing. There was nothing anyone else could do.
And in Long River Town, everything seemed to be developing well.
"A lot of villages have sent letters signifying their willingness to support His Majesty The King— Carmo, Angus Village... In just a short few days, actually, a lot of places have surrendered. Some cities have also sent envoys here to check out the situation, and they seem to have intentions of surrendering."
The ten man elite mage team had entered and were stationed in Long River Town, Tony reported as such to Benjamin.
Hearing that, Benjamin could not help but nod his head.
It looked like the king could recapture many regions in Carretas without firing a single shot!
Of course, there were all places in the corners and on the sides, the most important were still the central region and Gealorre. If they could defeat Gealorre, it would be equal to the success of re-establishing the kingdom, and the rest of the places in Carretas would yield themselves automatically.
However, it was definitely not going to be easy for them.
"About magical talent... How is it going?" After thinking, Benjamin asked again.
"Rather well." Tony, looking really determined, answered, "His Majesty had drawn out a huge area in town for us, and even found some people on the name list. Now, there are thirty to forty people altogether; if we add in the students who are ing back bit by bit now, we have almost a hundred students!"
"...only almost a hundred? Nevertheless, Benjamin was not especially satisfied with it.
These were only students; it was impossible for them to be sent onto the battlefield in such a short time. He had started developing magic trading now because he wanted to scout for those who had greater talent, and quickly nurture them into mages, so that they could be part of the backbone in the resistance against the Church.
And that kind of great talent could probably only be found in one student out of twenty or thirty of them. Because of that, a hundred was not enough.
"Many more will e." However, Tony said with a firm face. "When His Majesty made his public announcement to the entire nation, he had also mentioned this matter of ours. So now, the whole of Carretas knows that we have magic here that they can learn. Those who have been inspired by the Declaration of the Freedom of Magic will hurry here."
"Let us hope so..."
Benjamin nodded his head.
"So, Mage Benjamin, having these people here now with us, is it enough?" Tony spread his hand out, saying, "Yesterday, Diana has already started plaining that there are too many students, she can’t cope with the teaching. The mages battalion are still on the grass plains, shall we get them to e over too?"
Hearing that, Benjamin gave it some thought, and said: "No, let the battalion stay on the plains. Just get another ten or so people to e over and help. Our position on the grass plains is extremely secure now, we cannot simply give it up."
"Alright..."
Thus, after the situation had been reported in detail, Benjamin was starting to get familiar with Long River Town. He followed Tony to a place the King had given them— a residential area in the west of the town. The renovations were still going on, but the appearance of a mages’ residential area was beginning to form. Tony pointed at the biggest building there, and told Benjamin that the King had given it to Benjamin for residence.
Seeing that, Benjamin could not help but nod his head.
Not bad... He was, at least, a King who knew how to show gratitude.
