Chapter 217: The Aftermath of a Coup d'etat

In the capital of Icor, Regina.

It was very chaotic at the central part of the city, especially nearby the anti-magic prison.

At first, Benjamin was leading a bunch of angry citizens about to attack the prison guards. But the most unexpected situation occurred when they were about to charge -- single-eyed Queen came out of nowhere and blew the horn. The loud noise froze everyone.

The Queen was said to be at the gates. Why would she suddenly come back out of nowhere?

Benjamin immediately realized that it was a trap set beforehand. The Crusader Gateway was not that close to Regina, and even if they were quick, they would not make it back in less than ten days. The Queen appearing meant that she already laid waiting somewhere in Regina, unbeknownst to other people.

She hid in the dark, waiting for the prey to take the bait. And now, with her elite forces, Benjamin could only pray that they would not strike immediately.
