The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 867 Your Goddess Dreamed in Me

As far as the current situation is concerned, the views of both sides can't be miscalculated, and those echelon captains didn't intend to oppose Mei Li.

After all, everyone was attacked on the way to the fort where the Knights of the Sun was stationed, and according to the original plan, they only needed two or three hours to reach the fortress and join the Knights of the Sun team.

This distance is enough for one day even by walking.

When the safest known fortress is less than one day away, going to the fortress is indeed a safe and secure idea.As for the herd of beasts that attacked them, it was judged to be a small herd of beasts that bypassed the fortress. Also died long ago.

On the other hand, Mei Li thinks that the movement of the beast horde has exceeded the control of the church, and now the possibility of encountering a herd of beasts on the way to the fortress will be greatly increased. Don't forget that they have many wounded, and they don't have any carriages or anything at hand. The means of transportation and the movement of the wounded were not fast enough. If they encountered a large-scale animal horde before entering the fortress, all of them would have to be snacks for others.

Therefore, Mei Li suggested to retreat immediately. The few people left could not help at all. They might as well go back and report the situation to the church while ensuring their own safety.

The focus of the debate between the two sides is actually intelligence.

What happened to the church's plan to encircle the demons and even the herd of beasts? Did the four knights deployed on the left and right sides complete their missions? Is the fortress where the Sun Knights stationed and blocked the gate still there?

There is no way to obtain this information, and they do not have any means of contacting other troops and the outside world.

At this point, Lin Tianci has already known the result through Manna Mora. Although he doesn't know the specific situation of the knights who have taken a step forward, the conclusion is that the church's plan is over.

But the problem is that several echelon captains don't believe what he said.

Because of the nightmare incident in Nolde Harlan, Lin Tianci is actually quite well-known within the Knights, not to mention that he was able to escape just now, and Lin Tianci's spells also played a big role.

But while the echelon captains showed respect to Brother Lin, they also secretly expressed distrust.

After all, Lin Tianci is considered an outsider, and he is not from their plane, not to mention that he is very close to Meili, and the 'divination' he did may be a lie to make Meili's words more convincing.

It is impossible to understand each other only by reasoning. This is the virtue of human beings. It would be okay if there is an immediate boss who can make decisions. The bad thing is that everyone is at the same level, and no one has the authority to order others.

So after some dry-mouthed arguments, several echelon captains decided to clarify the matter with the subordinate knights, let the knights make their own choices, and everyone parted ways.

Don't think that the members of the knight order are all big soldiers. One of them is considered to be a knight noble who is not hereditary. It is no problem to recruit the army to be an officer. He has the ability to command and identify.

But the result was really not unexpected.

Almost the vast majority of people chose to go on to the fortress where the Knights of the Sun were stationed, only a small group of people were willing to go back with Meili, and even Meili's own direct subordinates had quite a few 'betrayed'.

The most critical point of this is Meili's female identity.

Sevilla's social concept is still that women are suitable for taking care of children at home or doing some clerical work. It is difficult for Meili, a heterogeneous person, to be recognized by her colleagues.

However, since this is the case, there is no need to force it. The rescued supplies were divided according to the number of people, and the group of people heading for the fortress gradually disappeared in the thick morning fog.

–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

Those who were willing to go with Meili, including Lin Tianci, had less than 20 people, and half of them were wounded.Those who can take up arms to fight, probably not even half of them.

Originally, the safest way was to advance along the railway, because the incense that could torso monsters was placed on both sides of the railway.But since their magic locomotive was attacked, it means that the effect of incense in the beast tide is almost zero.

Coupled with the thick fog in the early morning, if everyone still walked along the railway under such circumstances, they might be taken as snacks for bullying by wandering monsters, which was too eye-catching.

For this reason, Mei Li decided to take people into the forest, and at the same time ordered everyone to apply a medicinal powder that can eliminate odors, so as to prevent them from being tracked by monsters with a keen sense of smell. Find a safe place to shower.

Compared with open land, the complex environment in the forest can provide greater cover. If you are really attacked, it is more conducive to defense in the forest than in the open land.

But there are pros and cons. Entering the forest will cause your own vision to be frustrated. No matter how familiar you are with fighting in the woods, you can't compare to the monsters who have lived here for generations.

In short, it can be regarded as a helpless move after weighing.

The dense fog in the morning didn't seem to be affected by the sun, and the time was almost at nine o'clock in the morning, and the dense fog still didn't mean to disperse, it just seemed a little thinner.

Merlin, who was holding a map and a compass to identify the location, walked in the front. He glanced at the compass from time to time so as not to get lost. He focused more on the surrounding trees surrounded by dense fog.

Entering the forest is good for concealment, but it is also easy to be attacked, so you must be as careful as possible.

At least so far, no monster has popped out of nowhere.

Unexpectedly, Hall and his younger sister Sally also chose to retreat with Meili. One of the brothers and sisters was in charge of the rear, and the other was in the team to take care of the wounded who had difficulty moving.

Hall will choose to believe in Meili, probably because of his experience in Nordhalan last time.

In fact, if you take a closer look at the group of people who followed Meili, they are all the knights who protected the Marquis Winifred together last time. They clearly know what Meili, a girl who has been excluded all the time, is capable of. She was chosen in the eyes of many colleagues who did not understand.

Lin Tianci was right next to Mei Li, and he was leading the way with her to guard the front. His spiritual power had already been dispersed, and the team was under his surveillance within a radius of 50 meters.

At this time, ordinary mages should be placed in the middle of the team like Hall's younger sister Sally, so that they can be protected. After all, mages are really hurt if they are attacked by surprise.

But everyone knew that Lin Tianci, a 'mage', was especially good at close combat, so no one said anything wrong.

Using the scabbard to push aside the bushes blocking the way, Mei Li identified her location, and told everyone behind her to rest in place.

They have been walking for nearly three hours, and the consumption of walking is trivial, and everyone's condition is not very good.

Those who were slightly injured could barely walk by supporting each other, and those who were seriously injured could only be carried on stretchers made of crude branches. Such a group of disabled soldiers walking through the forest would be very dangerous if they consumed too much energy.

Everyone sat down and rested for a while, Mei Li didn't intend to rest at all, and went around to check the surroundings.

At a place a little further away from the crowd, she asked:
"Tianci, where did you get the information from?"

Just like Lin Tianci learned a lot of information about the plane of Mei Li and Seviala through chatting, Mei Li also knew that Lin Tianci did not know the so-called divination, that is, prophecy spells.

But according to Meili's understanding of Lin Tianci, he is not the kind of person who talks casually.

There were people around all the time just now, so Meili didn't have the nerve to ask, and she only got the chance when she stopped to rest.

Lin Tianci hesitated for a moment, then whispered:
"What if I say that your goddess of creation told me? Do you believe it?"

Mei Li was taken aback for a moment, then nodded:
"I believe.."

Do you believe it so easily?

"God sent you to prove your reliability, I believe you will not joke about such a big event."

In any case, the two of them had a fateful friendship. Although what Lin Tianci said was a bit of fantasy, Meili still chose to believe him.

Therefore, this girl's temperament is always very reassuring, and she might be the protagonist of Long Aotian in another story.

"I'm not joking. I met your goddess of creation on the train before."

For people on the plane of Sevilla, Mannamora is indeed their creator, even though Mannamora himself doesn't care about his creations at all.

It was rare for Mei Li to show a hesitant expression, and she paused for a moment before saying:
"What is a goddess like?"

Holding a sand sculpture book that looks like he bought it from Taobao, he looks so lazy that even Brother Lin would be ashamed of himself after reading it.

I don't know if this answer will satisfy Meili...

When Lin Tianci was explaining how to explain the pain, Meili herself said:
"No, I shouldn't ask that, there's no need."

"why?"

"Everyone has the image of a goddess in their hearts. Only existence and existence in the heart can be called faith, and she does not need to be materialized."

The reason is very simple, Mannamora is the creator, yes, but what they worship is not the real Mannamora, but the deified Sevilla.

However, Brother Lin still doesn't quite understand this group of believers. It can save a lot of trouble for Meili to believe so easily.

"Did the goddess say anything else?"

"She told me that I would die if I continued to move forward, and told me to return to Eastern China quickly. At the same time, she also said something about the Demon King of Darkness."

"Is the beast tide really related to the Dark Demon King..."

Originally, this matter can only be regarded as a guess, and it is still a guess without direct evidence at all. Neither Lin Tianci nor the church can be 100% sure that the activities of the demons are related to the Dark Demon King, or even what the Dark Demon King is. I don't know, there are only a few scattered words to indicate that it does exist and has appeared.

Afterwards, Lin Tianci told Meili all about how he met Manna Mora and about the plane of Servia. The only thing he concealed was about his identity and...
——The fact that you misunderstood Mannamora as Seviala was only due to the accent.
