Chapter 160 (1/2)

Night fall, to the north of the Town of Crewe, behind some rocks in a narrow mountainous pathway

”Do you really think this ork? What if you miscalculated?” Suddenly, the System voiced out in

Benjamin’s space of Consciousness

”I did not miscalculate” Benjamin answered expressionlessly

He thought that once Augustine bore news to hi and that

he would be sneaking into a sack full of wheat, transported to the Crusader Gateway, and be

stealing the cross that very night

He didn’t think that Augustine would infor very different

He ca the afternoon Benjamin returned to reality from his

uild — news on Andrew, the stammerer who

has a talent on ical equipment

”Andrew? There’s new developuard He

quickly came back to his senses and followed up His plan to steal the cross was to help Andrew in

researching neays to deflect the cross He hadn't even made a move yet and Andrew came

through on his end Benjaer

He was filled with anticipation when he went up to see Andrew

However, his anticipation was not met by reality There was no new development in Andrew’s

research However, he told Benjamin a valuable bit of information

”My u-uncle is also a Mage He has be-been secretly serving the nobles in Morten up north”

Andrew stamo, a small army took off

fro towards here He said, the ar new

backup cro-crosses to the gates”

Benjamin was dumbfounded

New backup crosses?

Benjaical equipment For so

nated location and personnel for production and

research, such as some cross factory or cross research faculty This here Benjamin was

stumped

Take the crosses used at the gateway to check for es as an example, the cross definitely did

not coates but should have been pre-made elsewhere and sent over

He quickly forced these questions to the back of his head but surprisingly Andre the

answers anyway

”Where is this army?” He asked, ”They haven’t reached the Town of Crewe, have they? Which

route did they take, does your uncle know?”

A platoon of soldiers transporting backup crosses was like pork belly sent to his mouth for

Benja in the middle of nowhere, without the protection of the

gateway and fortress would be easy for Benjamin who has recovered all his abilities

Coht fro

hiates

More conveniently, he could disguise the whole scene to look like there was a beast attack after

taking care of the soldiers It wouldn’t raise any red flags - safe and highly efficient

”He ru-rushed over, so he could reach before the so-soldiers, to inform u-us on this” Andrew

answered, ”He said, to, the soldiers would reach Town of Cr-Crewe, so to-

tonight is our only chance”

Tonight, it is

Benja was just right

He had been in this forsaken town for far too long They could finally leave the Kingdom of Helius

once they obtained the cross and Andrew finishes decoding the puzzle
