On the Seven Towers

"What do you say?" Luo Ling asked.

Xiao Chen said: "This woman has shown her greed and short-sightedness since she stole the "Shadow Scroll of Knowledge Sea". Even if she knew that people from the Temple of Nature would come to besiege her city, she would still have a sense of luck. After all, Lagos is an important southern town that she spent a lot of effort to conquer. Do you think she will give up this piece of fat that she has swallowed in her mouth?

She asked Li Jia to stick to this city, just hoping that the power of the natural temple would not be as strong as the legend said. Although the Natural Temple's army is small in number, its quality is far from comparable to that of their existing subordinates. "

"She has taken your support into account." Luo Ling said.

"Even if we send reinforcements immediately, how long do you think it will take to get to that city?" Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly, "I asked Wang Jiyuan to calculate it. Even if we use the teleportation array regardless of the cost, it will take at least three days. Deploy the army to Lagos City, not to mention the size of the army and the cost of crystals.”

Luo Ling nodded and said: "Even sending a small team of experts will not solve this problem. It is impossible for a city to be defended by a few experts, not to mention that the Temple of Nature has no shortage of real experts at all."

Xiao Chen said: "Besides, whether it is the army or experts, once we mobilize our troops, we will definitely not be able to take into account the defense of our own towns. Will the Temple of Nature not want to attack us? They just haven't found a suitable opportunity yet. Once we reveal any If there is a breach, their knights will attack without mercy.

And as long as we show a little bit of weakness, those Mage Towers and nobles holding the stinky feet of the Natural Temple will bite us like hungry wolves.

Even the priests of the secular sect and the divine coming sect cannot deal with it. How can we be sure that they will not participate in this war? After all, most of them are people who really value interests and can put their beliefs aside.

It's not that I don't care about Li Jia or his wife, it's just that I have to be responsible for more of my companions. It's not that I don't want to help him, but now...even if I bet my life, I have to bet on something more valuable.

So since we can't go, we can only force him to come back. "

"It seems that you have thought it through clearly. In this case, don't think too much about other things. They will only interfere with your judgment, or make you feel painful after making the judgment." Luo Ling put a hand on his shoulder and squeezed it gently, "You have made a decision like a leader. A true leader."

Xiao Chen looked at Luo Ling, her clear eyes full of sympathy and understanding. Xiao Chen, who had hardened his heart to make an analysis, suddenly felt soft in his heart, and felt his eyes were sore. He blinked and said, "Hey! I'm not doing this for that brat Li Jia, I just feel lucky, and Compared with him, my vision is ten thousand times better. Then I was moved by my own luck.”

"Just go ahead." Luo Ling pinched him, "I know what Li Jia means to you."

"Don't say it so weirdly, I get goosebumps." Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and said.

"He is actually a flaw. You have always felt that you supported his relationship with Selinda and approved his marriage to Selinda, which was the key reason for a series of wrong things and the current situation." Luo Ling looked at him and said word by word, "But that's not the case. It wasn't you who made him fall in love with Selinda, nor the choices you made for him, nor was it you who made him decide to become Selinda’s husband. As an adult like him, he should take responsibility for his actions. You don’t have to blame yourself for other people’s naivety, selfishness and blindness.”

Xiao Chen looked at Luo Ling and opened his mouth slightly: "If you didn't have confidence in your own mental power, I really doubt that you had cast some kind of soul-seeing magic on me."

"Is there still a need to cast a spell? When you were on the phone with Nina just now, all the emotions were written on your face." Luo Ling rubbed his head again and said.

"It feels really bad to be seen through. It's always embarrassing." Xiao Chen touched his nose and said, "Now I hope everything goes well for Nina and the others."

————————————————

Nina and her group hurriedly left the Duke's Palace. Guard Milo carried Nina's father, Knight Holmes, on his back. Guard Loreto was responsible for carrying Li Jia, who had fallen asleep. Officer Farot was responsible for leading them to their defense area. , he had just deliberately set aside a relatively low section of the city wall, and dispersed all the soldiers on it.

"Miss Nina, which direction should we escape after leaving the city?" Farot asked.

"Miss Selinda has already gone to McCall City in the northwest, so I told Mr. Xiao Chen that we will go to Gronia City in the west." Nina said.

Farot suddenly asked in a low voice: "Miss Nina, do you think we have betrayed Miss Selinda?"

Nina was stunned and said, "Don't we count as saving his husband?"

Farot nodded slowly: "It makes me feel more at ease if you say that."

Nina smiled, but found that her heart was filled with panic. She glanced at her father and then at Li Jia before letting out a sigh of relief.

A group of people came to the city wall, hung ropes from it, and climbed down from the city wall one by one.

Nina and Farot followed at the end. Nina saw the people in front of them getting off the ground safely, and was about to turn over, but she seemed to vaguely see a few reflections in the forest in the distance.

"What's wrong?" Farot asked.

Nina said: "There seems to be some movement there."

Farot said: "Is it an enemy?"

Nina released a mage's eye magic, and the invisible mage's eye flew from the city wall to its previous location. Half a minute later, Nina covered her mouth and exclaimed: "It's the army!"

Farot said: "They must be from the Temple of Nature! They really came to attack at night."

"what to do?"

"According to their current speed, they will attack the city in half an hour at most. We first need to find out from which directions the enemy is coming. If we want to escape, we must avoid their army." Farot said.

"That's right." Nina controlled the mage's eye and looked in other directions. After a while, she pointed to a mountain in the distance and said, "It seems that the enemy was divided into five teams and outflanked them from all directions. Let's go in that direction. , can insert into the gap between the two armies.”

"Okay. Miss Nina, take them away quickly, remember to use the mage's eyes to check the situation ahead." Farot said.

"Well, let's go." Nina was about to use Feather Falling Technique to jump down, but saw that Farot didn't move at all, "Why don't you go?"

Farot said: "The enemy is coming. Someone must inform the brothers in the city about this. I want to stay."

"It won't make any difference if you stay. If the enemy gets closer, other sentries will spot them," Nina said.

"Maybe, but an earlier warning would probably give us a little more initiative... I think this will make us feel at ease." Farot gave Nina a gentle push and let her float out, "You guys leave quickly, before I send the message Leave the city before the alarm! Take care!”
