To Aurora's surprise, the Pope had already made a decision at this time.

"what do you mean……"

"Of course we want to bring Serena back, and we can't let her reputation be damaged. Moreover, we need to find all those sisters and bring home everyone who is not lost."

Erkele III's expression was still calm, but in his eyes, a raging flame was burning at this moment.

"They were sent to the front line out of duty and dedication to the kingdom. They are the heroes of the kingdom and our heroes."

"Since the kingdom doesn't care about these heroes and would rather stand by and watch, then let's do it."

"But……"

Aurora understood what her teacher meant and was very moved.But she was no reckless person, and she quickly realized the huge price involved.

"However, teacher, theoretically, the use of force by our Protectorate Knights is limited to defending our church facilities, escorting important people of the church, etc. We have no right to take the initiative to send knights abroad, let alone participate in wars."

This is indeed clearly stipulated.After years of running-in, the church gave up considerable rights, and only then did it retain its own armed forces.

"That's why I didn't plan to send the guardian knights at all."

Elcle III suddenly showed a slightly mischievous smile.

"Look, you are Serena's good friend, and so is Margaret. Serena still has her own followers, and even some fanatical admirers."

"Of course, the Church cannot send the Guardian Knights out of the country, but if it is Serena's friends and admirers who volunteer to form a volunteer army to search and rescue our heroes in the Kolo Valley, the Church will provide some necessary support, right? ?”

"what?"

Aurora was taken aback.

She really didn't think about it.

Indeed, Serena actually has a lot of friends, and her strength is quite impressive.

Not to mention her own side, she can set off with a dozen followers at any time;

Margaret has a lot of people on her side, so she is a powerful helper at this time;

Although Serena's own subordinates are mostly strange characters with unknown origins, their strength is by no means easy.

The only pity is that Serena's most prestigious southern border has no time to carry out publicity and mobilization this time, otherwise it would not be impossible to pull out a legion.

If you think about it carefully, these powers can even go to war against some small city-states?

"It seems that you have figured it out, Aurora."

The pope's gentle voice sounded again.

"From now on, we must hurry up. It has been three days since the full retreat, and the people of the Secret Law Alliance have probably begun to mobilize troops to surround the coalition forces of the nobles in the western region."

"But they are also human beings, and magic also has its limit. Based on your military knowledge, how long do you think it will take them to surround that area?"

"A week, at the earliest it will take a week!"

Aurora replied with some excitement.

She suddenly realized that not only did she have a chance to rescue Serena, but the chance was not small!

"Very good. Now, through the fast channel of the church, I can pave all the roads and checkpoints from the capital to the border for you in one day."

"You start to act now, and take as many people as you can within today. At the same time, I will sign a warrant to let the church organizations along the way provide you with supplies and assistance, and help recruit 'volunteers'."

"If everything goes well, you will arrive at the border with the Secret Alliance in four days, and you will have almost two days to open up the last passage."

"I believe that with Serena's ability, she can persist until that point. Then Aurora, can you do the rest?"

Ercle III looked at his disciple with piercing eyes.

"I can!"

Chapter 17 Serena's Whirlwind

"This is not going to work. We have no way out."

At the edge of the Keluo Valley, Serena made such a judgment after observing the surrounding terrain.

That day, she won the bet.

Baron Phil and Knight Foster did have a very positive impression of Serena.

Despite being severely beaten, Baron Phil knew very well that it was a miracle in itself to be able to rescue an insignificant maid from the siege that day.

Whether it is motivation or ability.

Phil is no shallow-eyed redneck.

Even though he was only the master of a small territory, his eyes still did not stop exploring the world.

And the more he knew, the more he understood how precious the miracle of that day was.

Well, since Saint Serena can successfully create a miracle once, who can say that she won't create a second time?

With this mentality, Phil persuaded his friends to join Serena's team.

After the two sides merged, Serena had such a force:

The combat power is not bad.There are not only powerful fighters, but also a sufficient number of magic users;

Supplies are limited, but enough to last a week.Considering that it is spring now and some food can still be collected in the wild, Serena set the upper limit of her troop's supply time to ten days;

Moderate mobility.The knights did have spare horses, but after these horses were used to carry the weak nuns, their mobility dropped to the point where they were no better than infantry;

The external environment is harsh.Yesterday, across the river valley, they witnessed a Marconian army being annihilated by the Mystic Alliance.

The speed at which that army collapsed was shocking.The tragic end made many nuns unable to bear to look directly at her.

There is no doubt that this time the Secret Art Alliance has made a great determination to completely wipe out the vitality of this Marconia.

Judging from a rational point of view, this choice of the Secret Law Alliance is very reasonable.

As long as enough Marconians are eliminated, it is unlikely that Marconia will threaten the Alliance mainland again in a short time.

Therefore, this is also the reason why those defeated soldiers who surrendered were pushed down the ditch.

Considering all the circumstances, it is not difficult for Serena to draw the following conclusions:

They will soon have to engage in an encounter with the enemy;

They have the strength to fight;

They are powerless to consume and hold;

They must avoid prolonged battles, because the enemy is strong and we are few, and once they are entangled, they are doomed to defeat.

"We must actively seize the opportunity to fight the nearest enemy, and we must win the battle in a short time. At the same time, we must try our best to obtain the enemy's horses, vehicles and all other supplies, and quickly leave the battlefield after quick screening .”

Serena picked up the map she had drawn and explained it to the leading knights.

"The terrain here is full of ravines. Once we fall into an area of ​​terrain that we are not familiar with, it is likely that we will never be able to turn back."

"Unlike us, the mages of the Secret Alliance have certain abilities to allow their troops to cross this terrain, so it is impossible for us to gain a better terrain advantage in the encounter."

"Then, what we can do is..."

Knight Foster seemed to think of something, and pointed to the other side of the map.

"That's right, we're going to take the initiative to attack the enemy in the areas we've already traveled and recorded. At least our first battle must be like this."

"After defeating the enemy and obtaining enough intelligence and supplies, we have more room to deal with the enemy."

"It is unrealistic to expect the enemy to act according to our intentions, so we can only carry out ambushes in a few key positions."

Serena's slender fingers lightly poked a point on the map.

"My gut tells me this is the best place. What do you guys think?"

Phil looked at the map and recalled the location Serena pointed to.

That's right, there is a shoal, and it is the only place where the river can be crossed within a few miles nearby. No matter which side it is, they will definitely choose to take that road;

Since it is a river valley area, there will be a thin mist in the early morning and dusk, which is convenient for them to avoid the enemy's sight for deployment;

Moreover, the terrain there is flat, which is conducive to knight assault.Especially when the enemy is crossing the river - it is impossible for those shield mercenaries and spearmen to maintain their formation while crossing the river!

A smile appeared on Phil's face. He looked up and found that Foster also smiled and nodded to himself.

"Done!"

…………

At dusk that day, when Phil pulled out his long sword from the chest of the enemy under his feet, he was in a daze.

He knew that he would definitely win this time. After all, Serena had broken things down so that even a fool could do it well—well, most of Serena's subordinates in her previous life could be regarded as fools.

But he really didn't expect that things would go so smoothly.

With the blessing of divine arts, the horses of the knights ran more powerfully, and while their speed was increased by three points, even their stability did not decrease much;

The enemy's rain of arrows and magic rays were successfully defended by magic and deviated from the target;

And when the enemy lined up in a hurry, even the aquatic plants in the river grew wildly, entangled their hands and feet...

Of course Phil didn't know that it was Elaine who was casting the spell.He only knew that the first battle in his life was so hearty, the victory fell from the tree like a ripe fruit.

"How are you doing?"

Foster's strong hand landed on Phil's shoulder, making him stagger.

Phil grinned, took a breath, and then replied with a smile:

"Great, hell, I never knew fighting was such an easy thing."

"Combat is never easy."

Foster shook his head, and looked at Serena who was pointing fingers at the nuns.

It's her who makes fighting easy.

"What is she doing? Why do you leave those women's clothes on the ground? Also, what are you doing digging holes over there?"

After seeing what the nuns were doing, Phil asked curiously.

"Well, think about this scenario: you find that your friendly forces have been wiped out, the enemy has taken away a lot of supplies, and left some nun hoods in the panic. What would you think?"

Foster asked pointedly.

"Well……"

Phil frowned and replied:

"I would feel that the enemy is not far ahead, and they are moving slowly. There are women in their team, and the organization is not very good... Wait!"

"Yeah, that's what we need."

Foster smiled and added a few words.

"They will still think that we have just gone through a battle, and we will lose a lot of physical strength. But, Phil, are you tired?"

Phil smiled, flexing his biceps.

"Ah, I see what you mean!"

After nightfall, Serena annihilated the second secret alliance mixed team in another open area a few hundred meters in front of the river beach.

Chapter 18 The Other Side of the Game

"Leonard, what are you laughing at?"

"Ah, no, Camille, I'm not actually laughing. After all, this was a terrible failure..."

Leonard, one of the new archmages of the Mystic Alliance, waved the battle report in his hand with an obvious smile.

Camille, Leonard's own sister and most loyal follower, frowned and walked to Leonard's side, grabbed the piece of paper, and quickly scanned it.

"Ah? How stupid are these guys? They were ambushed three times in a row within a radius of less than two miles?"

"Ha, it's still two total annihilation, only a few light infantry escaped in the last time!"

After Camille said this in a somewhat exaggerated voice, he changed into a cold tone.
