The Move to Make the Mages Stay Behind

Benjamin shook his head aggressively.

"What do you think? I went through all those villages and gathered all of you here to fight the Church, not abandon you after something small goes awry."

The disciples looked at each other after hearing this and seemed to be more at ease.

Meanwhile, Benjamin started thinking of a solution.

There were a few ways Benjamin thought of to get out of their predicament. The first one was to hide – to hide non-stop and remain as quiet as a church mouse. There were plenty of hiding spots in the area and there was no way that the Church would be able to discover them all.

But, this would lead them nowhere. Besides, who knew how much time they would even waste creeping about.

But the alternative was even worse – trying to break out via brute force. Needless to say, this option would cause them a great number of casualties and just seemed plain stupid in Benjamin’s head. He was here to gain more followers, not lose them.
