On the Seven Towers

Holmes had fallen asleep under Nina's care. Serinda walked out of the room, and Li Jia followed behind. In the light of the fire in the corridor, he could see her gloomy face. The girl's face was like the changing wind and clouds, with determination and hesitation appearing alternately.

Li Jia did not speak. Although he had his own ideas, he knew Serinda's habits. At this time, she did not need anyone to disturb her, but liked to make her own decisions.

But he felt from the bottom of his heart that what Holmes brought was right. Now taking these mobs under their command to rescue Count Carlos is a self-destructive act.

Perhaps outsiders would be surprised by their brilliant achievements along the way, but Li Jia knew very well that this was the tactic used by the rebels to coerce civilians and expand the army during various riots in the past. Although such an army can conquer the queen's city, its real combat effectiveness is not as good as the elite in the hands of Count Carlos, let alone the opponents of the temple knights in the Temple of Nature.

If Serinda leads such a team and is stopped by the Knights of the Temple of Nature, it will basically be over.

Serinda punched the wall and said, "I've decided."

"What?" Li Jia, who was thinking wildly, woke up.

"I'll go save him." Serinda had made a decision and her voice was very decisive.

"But your father asked you not to go. I think his analysis makes sense. I just calculated the possible situation. If our team wants to go to Bavaria City, we may leave behind 20% to 30% of the soldiers just by crossing the mountains to get there, not to mention fighting with the Knights of the God of Nature." Li Jia said.

"When did I listen to him carefully?" Serinda asked back, she turned around and looked at Li Jia. Li Jia saw that her eyes were slightly red.

"I... although I haven't called him father for many years, but... I can't do nothing when I see him dying." Serinda took a deep breath, "Don't worry. I won't bring all the troops here, that would be like asking someone to fight me. I'm only going to bring a dozen elite soldiers, if I can find him, I'll rescue him. If I can't find him or rescue him, I'll come back as soon as possible. I've never been the kind of person who wants to die, so I won't do stupid things that overestimate my own abilities."

"So... then I'll go with you." Li Jia said.

"No, someone must take care of the troops here, you don't have to go with me, you just have to guard the city for me." Serinda said, "However, if the people from the Temple of Nature really come to besiege, you must remember to protect yourself, if the situation is not right, you retreat. Do you understand?"

"Don't retreat immediately?" Li Jia asked.

"How much effort did it take us to get here and capture Lagos? How many people died? If we retreat, won't all those people die in vain? What if we encounter the pursuit of the Temple of Nature when we retreat?

Maybe the Temple of Nature won't come so soon, you still have time to consolidate the city defense and summon the reinforcements of the Tower of China. As long as they can send a few masters, we will be safe."

"Okay, Serinda. But I should be with you. Your knights will naturally be in charge here. I am usually just an advisor and staff officer, and occasionally use magic to fight. I... I can't lead those berserkers." Li Jia said.

Serinda said: "This matter has been decided, and I will not make any changes. Without further ado, I will summon the knights to arrange the action. You should inform the Tower of China of the situation as soon as possible."

——————————————————

A simple communication formation has been installed in the city of Lagos, which can contact the earl or the Tower of China. But I had not received any information from Count Carlos before, which was enough to prove that the defeat came very suddenly. The Count did not even have time to use the communication array before he was chased away by the Temple of Nature. Li Jia spent half an hour to contact Xiao Chen and Wang Jiyuan in Holy Sword City.

After hearing the news of the Count's defeat, Xiao Chen said, "We have recently observed the unusual movements of the Temple of Nature, but we didn't expect them to act so decisively against Count Carlos. However, once the Temple of Nature takes action, according to our prediction of the Count's strength, he has no chance. If the Temple of Nature starts to deal with you, you will have even less chance."

Wang Jiyuan suggested, "In my opinion, your current situation is also very dangerous. According to our intelligence, there are legions of the Temple of Nature stationed within 50 kilometers of you. I strongly suggest that you leave Lagos immediately and try to get closer to us no matter what method you use."

Li Jia said, "I can't leave here when Serinda needs me the most. She is going to rescue her father and leave the city to my care. I... can't leave. I want to know if you have any way to support this city? Is it possible to send reinforcements?"

There was silence on the other side of the communication array for a few seconds.

Xiao Chen said, "The faction of the Gods in the Temple of Nature has intervened in the war quite suddenly. We have occupied too many new places and our troops are spread out widely. The defenses in various places are already stretched thin. It is probably not realistic to send forces to the cities far to the east at this time. You are the closest to the Alonso family and the Thunder Tower army."

"The Alonso family and the Thunder Tower's army have been making limited progress. They have too few troops and have only captured a few nearby small cities. They can't save us. And once they know that the opponent has changed from a kingdom to a natural temple, who knows what choice they will make!" Li Jia said with a pleading tone, "Xiao Chen, considering that the Arias family is our most powerful ally, shouldn't we do more? Now that there are so many great magicians in the Tower of China, we only need to draw a few to support us, and the situation will be greatly improved. Or, it would be good if we can call on a few mage classes."

Xiao Chen sighed and said, "Sorry, I can't do it. If we have a ready-made force close enough, I believe that Commander Wang can make proper arrangements to help you contain the enemy and change the current situation. . But..., but, our number of masters is not enough to cover our own defense line, and I can't make a decision to let our masters take risks like this. "

"Xiao Chen, you were not like this before." Li Jia said in a hoarse voice, "For friends, you will definitely rescue them at all costs."

Wang Jiyuan said: "Li Jia, are you making things difficult for Xiao Chen? He is now the acting chairman, and he must consider the overall situation when seeing problems. It is no longer a matter of friendship, but we must be responsible for so many people under our rule. Besides, you should also know that although Count Carlos is called our ally, he is not on the same path as us after all. Your quick retreat is the most feasible way! "

"I..., no, I'm not going to make things difficult for anyone. In this case, there is nothing to say. I'm going to help Serinda." After saying this, Li Jia hurriedly cut off the communication.
