On the Seven Towers

Sokha said: "Of course I can prove myself. Lord Xiao Chen told me a secret. It was about the time when you used the charm spell together and got into trouble. The target of the charm spell was Miss Serinda, but the magic was reflected on other people, so it caused a mess, right? So I can prove that I was sent by Lord Xiao Chen, right?"

Regarding the charm spell, Xiao Chen told everyone at the time that it was just a magic accident, and the real reason was almost unknown except Li Jia and Serinda. When Soka said this, Li Jia knew that he was telling the truth, but this truth made him even angrier. Li Jia's voice was filled with confusion and anger as he asked, "You mean Xiao Chen actually asked me to abandon so many people and escape alone? Serinda handed this place over to me, how could I just turn around and leave?"

Sokha was a little scared when facing the angry Li Jia, but he still tried to calm himself down. He said, "Master Xiao Chen asked me to tell you that if there is any way to save it, they will not sit idly by and watch the situation of their allies. But the sudden intervention of the Temple of Nature has caused the situation to deteriorate rapidly. It is really too late to save the army here. Since there is no hope of saving this place, there is no need to die with the rest of the people. He has no ability to save everyone here, but he must save you."

"Don't say such stupid things. I won't leave." Li Jia said firmly.

"Then I'm afraid we will have to take you away by force." A magic halo appeared in Soka's hand. This is a powerful sleep spell he had prepared long ago. They planned to knock Li Jia unconscious if he resisted.

"I'm afraid you guys are far from enough." After Soka's magic was used, before Li Jia was knocked down, an arc-shaped light curtain appeared around Li Jia, blocking the light ball outside. He had seen the situation was not right before, so he was naturally prepared.

"Farot, Milo, Loreto, do it!" Soka cast a dispel magic to attack Li Jia's shield while commanding the other three warriors to rush towards Li Jia. They were afraid of hurting Li Jia, so they didn't take out their weapons, but infused their fists with fighting spirit to hit Li Jia's shield.

"Get out of here, otherwise it's your own fault if I hurt you." Seeing that these people were not ready to give up, Li Jia also began to release attack magic. As a high-level mage, it naturally didn't take much effort to deal with these middle-level mages who didn't even dare to take out their weapons. He quickly prepared a mental blast magic, intending to teach these guys a good lesson and then throw them into the dungeon.

Then, just when Li Jia was about to cast a spell, he suddenly felt a wave of magic coming from behind him. He looked out of the corner of his eye and was shocked to find that Nina, whom he had always thought was just an ordinary person, actually pressed a pair of hands wrapped in magic fluorescence on the back of his neck.

Just now, Li Jia was worried that the magic aftermath in the battle would hurt her, so he specially wrapped her and himself in the same shield. So he had no defense against her sneak attack. He could only watch the hand pressing down and feel the magic energy flowing into his body. "Nina, you actually betrayed me and Serinda..."

"No, I may have betrayed the lady, but I have never betrayed you." Nina said.

It was also a powerful sleeping spell. Li Jia felt dizzy and then his body fell down. In the confused feeling of falling into sleep, he vaguely felt that he was tied up with a rope and carried on his back. He didn't know anything after that.

Unconsciously, Li Jia seemed to have a dream, reviewing his life. He seemed to have been lonely all the time. Although many people hurried past him, some seemed to ignore him, and some might stop their eyes on him, but they did not stop to accompany him in the end. The reasons for leaving are always various, but the results of leaving are so similar, making him feel extremely lonely. Only that pretty figure stayed by his side, making him want to give everything for her.

He also saw Xiao Chen, but Xiao Chen's figure at this moment somehow overlapped with his overly strict father, and he looked disgusting.

He questioned Xiao Chen a lot in his dream, but Xiao Chen scolded him in a more severe voice. Li Jia only felt that there was a gathering of anger in his heart, but he could not break out.

He hated this feeling.

——————————————

In the communication room of Holy Sword City, Xiao Chen closed the communication array, sighed, and said to Luo Ling beside him: "Li Jia will probably hate me to death now."

"What you did is really like a parent who controls too much." Luo Ling rubbed Xiao Chen's head, "I often do impulsive things, always giving people the feeling of being careless. Now I control others, but I am serious."

"That's a matter of life and death. I know that Li Jia may hate me for doing this, but for his life, he will hate me. You know, I never like this woman, Serinda, but Li Jia was fascinated by her, married her into the family, and obeyed her every word after marriage. This time, what makes me most dissatisfied is that everyone judged the danger of staying in Lagos City, but Li Jia turned a deaf ear to it and insisted on being a hero there!"

Luo Ling asked: "If I were in Serinda's position, and you were in Li Jia's position, what choice would you make?"

Xiao Chen said: "I won't let the situation fall to this point. First of all, I won't use the rough method of Serinda to organize a motley army. Secondly, even if I fall into their situation, I will not defend Lagos City to the death. I will choose to withdraw my troops and retreat to Ariak City, and then seek help from the Tower of China. Otherwise, if I defend the enemy city I just captured, wouldn't it be self-destruction?"

Luo Ling curled her lips, obviously not very satisfied with this answer, and said: "You may also be ambushed by the Temple of Nature on the road."

"That's better than being locked up in a city and being beaten by people. And I can let the troops break up and move closer to Ariak, so that the fist of the Temple of Nature hits the air."

"As long as their main force withdraws to Ariak City, where there is city defense and people's hearts, this battle can be fought, but Serinda is greedy!"
