Seeing that Serena seemed to be in a good mood, Elaine added in a low voice.

"Well, I understand that it's impossible to go on. However, isn't it just right, a cavalry unit is coming..."

Under the moonlight, Serena's expression gradually turned ferocious.

Elaine jumped up the rock nimbly and came behind Serena, only to find sparks appearing in the valley at dusk.

"It's the knight of Marconia..."

Elaine is a little complicated.

Although she is not a Marconian, she also regards the Marconian knights as her allies at this moment.

At this time, Serena had obviously decided to swallow this friendly army that unfortunately passed by here in front of her, so as to improve the possibility of survival for her nuns and sisters.

Seemingly sensing Elaine's inner turmoil, Serena explained softly.

"Don't worry, we only need to kill a few people. They are already tired and frightened. As long as we kill the leader, we can take command, and then we can..."

In the gentle voice, it was hard to hide the blood.

Chapter 15 Cooperation under the Misunderstanding

"on!"

Following Serena's whisper, the two figures flew down from the rock together, and rushed towards the knights who were still unaware.

Elaine dexterously controlled her landing point, and landed steadily on the horseback of the most expensively dressed knight. The dagger in her right hand rested on the knight's waist, and the claw in her left hand rested on the knight's waist. throat.

"Don't move, surrender quickly, or don't blame me for being rude!"

After all, she was still kind-hearted, and she was not willing to kill her immediately.

Before the knight could recover from the frightened stiffness and react, there were continuous beating sounds and angry shouts from the other side.

Elaine turned her head hastily, but saw that Serena, who she thought was a surefire one, was actually wrestling with her target on horseback.

"how come?"

In Elaine's mind, Serena is omnipotent.But right now, someone can counterattack calmly under Serena's surprise attack, and even make Serena change her face, this is really...

"Bastard!"

Serena drank violently.

She never expected that this unremarkable-looking burly man not only wore mail armor under his blouse, but also had an abnormally fast reaction speed.

In just a few seconds, this guy has adapted to Serena's tricky attack style, and switched from defense to offense.

Although Serena was very strong, her equipment and physical strength were at a disadvantage at this time. After the advantage of the surprise attack disappeared, she was really embarrassed for a while.

After thinking about the pros and cons, she gritted her teeth and cast out the divine spell of judgment again.

"Saint Gillian, please give that sinner the verdict he deserves!"

A white light flashed, and Serena was shocked to find that this fierce-looking guy was standing still!

"damn it……"

Serena suddenly turned over and jumped off the horse, ready to activate her succubus blood, desperate.

But at this moment, the knight actually stopped fighting back, raised his hand and shouted.

"Wait, Your Excellency Serena, I'm afraid this is a misunderstanding!"

These words made all the knights who were about to gather around to help their companions stunned.

Even Serena's eyes widened, and she looked at this guy who had no impression at all.

"Why... I..."

For a moment, her tongue, which has always been eloquent, got a little knotted.

On the contrary, Elaine next to him reacted and immediately asked:

"You know Maiden Serena, right?"

The burly knight nodded, and replied in a deep voice:

"Yes, I have fought against Your Excellency Serena before, so even if she has disguised her appearance now, I can be sure that this is Your Excellency the Holy Maiden."

"We are all knights of Marconia. At this difficult time, we should be allies, shouldn't we?"

Only then did Serena realize that the guy in front of her was the tin can she had encountered when rescuing Phyllis.

If you look closely, the guy subdued by Elaine seems to be this guy's trash master!

So she was embarrassed.

It is obviously inappropriate to kill her again. Although she was originally going to sneak attack and annex her allies, it would be embarrassing if the sneak attack failed.

And this guy recognized him, which means that there is no option for everyone to act as if they have never seen their own escapes, and they must give an explanation.

However, Serena was Serena after all. Soon, she put on an expression filled with righteous indignation, and asked in the tone of a victim.

"Ha, allies? Don't you know what's going on these days? There are no allies, only obstacles on the way to escape."

"Who knows what kind of thoughts you all have? We have encountered Maconian people who are full of malice a few times. How could it be that you believe what you say?"

Serena's words were so harsh that the burly knight didn't know how to explain it for a while, and fell into an embarrassing silence.

At this time, the person in front of Elaine raised his hand and said:

"Foster, let me do this kind of negotiation. Miss behind me, please allow me to turn around and watch Her Excellency Serena speak, okay?"

Elaine relaxed her fingers subconsciously, the nobleman coughed twice, and finally turned to look at Serena.

"Your Excellency Serena, I am Baron Phil of Gavin Valley. It is an honor and a pity to meet you again in such a scene."

"Although I don't know why you brought your subordinates to attack us, I can roughly understand your mood at this time."

"That's right, there are dangers everywhere now, and we can't use the eyes of the normal environment to distinguish the source of danger. Your caution is also very necessary."

"However, I can swear to the goddess that we have not given up our glory, nor have the courage to openly attack the saint of the church, so please rest assured that we are safe."

"So, let's sit down and have a cup of tea, and discuss our respective demands frankly. It's good for everyone, isn't it?"

Although these words were mixed with a lot of meaningless content in Serena's view, they still gave both parties a step down.

Serena nodded, signaling Elaine to put away her weapon and officially enter the negotiation stage.

After Elaine put away his dagger and left behind Baron Phil's horse, the two sides found a flat place sheltered from the wind and started negotiating.

As Serena expected, Baron Phil is the core of this group of young nobles.

Although he was not the highest-ranked person present, he was the most popular guy.

Including the last time he went to besiege the monastery, he was actually entrusted by others to help others stand up.

And the knight named Foster is actually a famous person in the knight circle.

Regardless of martial arts or courage, this guy is first-class and strong.

According to his companion, Foster could have been admitted to the Dawn Knights with his ability, but because of his friendship, he stayed with Baron Phil - which is a rare story in the aristocratic circle.

It was also Foster who immediately sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and persuaded Baron Phil to organize his best friends to retreat from the front together, so that he could meet Serena and the others here.

Through a simple conversation and self-introduction, Serena quickly came to a conclusion:

Most of these guys are inexperienced boys with ideals and aggressiveness, but they are also prone to confusion and depression.

Right now, relying on the almost blind trust in the core of Phil and Foster, they can still unite to find their way home.

Once encountering setbacks, this small team is likely to fall apart.

But even so, the strength of these guys is what she needs at this time.

After all, there are more than 20 serious sword-granting knights here, and a team of more than a hundred attendants.

"Knights, I am very glad to meet you in such a dark situation. You may wonder why I, as the saint of the church, appear here at this time."

"I can tell you: First, I am here to protect the nuns and sisters here. They came here to assist you under my initiative. I have an obligation to bring them home..."

Having said that, she looked thoughtfully at the young people in front of her, and saw that they all showed the expressions she wanted, so she continued to speak with a smile.

"Secondly, I feel that even in these circumstances, we still have a chance to come out unscathed and even have a few small but brilliant victories."

"victory?"

Phil and the others asked in puzzlement.

"Yes, as long as you listen to my command, all this will become a reality."

Serena put on a confident expression.

She was betting that her title as a saint was loud enough, and that she had left an extremely deep impression on Phil and Foster last time.

Chapter 16 Saving the Virgin Serena

"Unfortunately, I disagree."

This cold answer poured over Ingrid like a bucket of ice water.

Too disappointed, she stood up from her seat in a gaffe, rushed to Tempus's desk, and yelled.

"What are you talking about? That's the chief saint of the next generation! She's even the duchess who you personally conferred the title on. Is your heart a stone?"

Tempus cast a cold glance at Ingrid, then turned to Ercle III.

"Your Excellency, it seems that the nobleman's mental state is no longer suitable for positive communication. Look..."

Elcle III sighed, stood up and raised his hand, and stunned Ingrid with a modified magic.

Aurora next to her quickly supported the chief saint, preventing her from rolling down on the cold stone floor of the Tempus office.

Ercle III bowed slightly to Tempus and said:

"I'm sorry, please forgive her unintentional mistake. She didn't mean any disrespect to the king, she just...you know, that's her only disciple."

"Of course, I understand."

Seeing Elcle III being so sensible, Tempus' cold expression melted a little bit.

"Actually, I am also very worried about the situation of Saintess Serena. You all know that I have always been optimistic about her and respect her family's sacrifices for the kingdom."

"But putting aside these personal emotions, we must admit a reality-for Marconia, our integrated legion is more important than the Holy Maiden of Serena."

"As for her title...with all due respect, there are so many nobles in that mountain range, I don't think there is anything special about a baron."

"I even think that Her Excellency Serena is actually capable of escaping by herself. I believe in her mind and skill."

"So, no matter what, I can't send my limited support force to that desperate situation at this time."

"I can only pray to the goddess St. Gillian like you, and pray that after the misfortune really happens, the mages of the Arcane Alliance will realize the importance of the saint Serena in time."

"In this way, we can welcome her back to our side after paying some price."

Hearing this, Aurora couldn't help giving Tempus a vicious look.

For the saint, the most important thing is to have a flawless reputation.

Regardless of whether Serena can come back, as long as her capture becomes a reality, she will bid farewell to the possibility of the chief saint forever.

Not to mention whether Serena will be hurt during this process, or whether she will have time to reveal her identity.

Whenever she is captured by the members of the Mystic Alliance, it will be announced that her reputation will be discredited in the entire circle of the church and the nobles, and she will no longer be able to see people.

Although Aurora considers herself to be in a competitive relationship with Serena, if the long-distance running competition between the two is stopped abruptly in such a dramatic way, she absolutely cannot accept it.

However, she is not stupid, knowing that at this moment, she must not yell at the king as rudely as Ingrid did just now.

That would not only be useless, but also give a bad excuse.

She needs to find another way to save Serena.

"Teacher, shall we go back like this?"

After they left the king's office, Aurora helped Ingrid, who was still unconscious, and asked Elcle III in a low voice.

"Well, let's go back first. Since Tempus is unwilling to send troops, then we will do it ourselves."
