Benjamin’s preparations took about a week.
The mages successfully spread out across various cities disguised as hunters, farmers and merchants. One week was not long but it was just enough time for them to blend in with the locals and familiarize themselves with the city.
News from all over the country was travelling through the magic tool and everything seemed to be going smoothly. Benjamin was relieved.
Usually, at this point, he would be afraid that his subordinates may accidentally leak something to the Church. But because of his earlier precautions, the damage would be mitigated even if they were indeed compromised.
However, it seemed that the Church had their mind elsewhere at the moment.
Although the news has yet to spread among the public, Miles had informed Benjamin that he had just assassinated eight priest leaders. Now the Church was in chaos; the King confirmed this by mentioning that even the bishop has looked lethargic over the past few days.
