Holmes was already asleep under Nina's care, and Selinda walked out of the room, followed by Li Jia, and her cloudy face could be seen by the light of the fire in the hallway. The girl's face was like a storm, and a look of determination and hesitation alternated.

Li Jia didn't say anything, although he had his own ideas, but he knew Selinda's habits, at this time, she didn't need anyone to disturb her, but liked to make decisions by herself.

But he felt from the bottom of his heart that what Holmes had brought was right. Now to take these rabble of their men to rescue Count Carlos is a self-defeating act.

Outsiders may be surprised by their brilliant achievements along the way, but Li Jia knows very well that this is the tactics 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 power is not at all comparable to the elite in the hands of Count Carlos, let alone the opponent of those Templars of the Temple of Nature.

If Selinda was stopped by the Knights of the Temple of Nature with such a team, it would basically be over.

Selinda punched the wall, and she said, "I've decided." ”

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

"I'm going to save him. Selinda had already made her decision, and her voice was decisive.

"But your father himself told you not to go there. I think his analysis makes sense, too. I've just calculated what we might encounter, if this team here were to go to Bavilian City, I'm afraid that just crossing the mountains to get there like this would leave two or thirty percent of the soldiers behind, let alone fighting the knights of the gods of nature. Li Jia said.

"When did I listen to him?" Selinda asked rhetorically, and she turned to look at Li Jia. Li Jia saw that her eyes were slightly red.

"I ...... Although he hadn't called him father for years, he ...... Let me see that he is going to die, but he will do nothing...... I can't. Selinda sniffed deeply, "Don't worry." I'm not going to bring all the troops here, then I'm really looking for someone to fight myself. I'm only going to take a dozen elite fighters with me, and if I can find him, I'll rescue him. If I can't find it, or can't save it, I'll come back as soon as possible. I've never been the kind of person who wants to live or die, so I don't do stupid things that don't help me. ”

"That's ...... Then I'll go with you. Li Jia said.

"No, the army here must be taken care of, you don't come with me, you just need to guard the city for me. "However, if the people of the Temple of Nature do come to besiege you, remember to protect yourself, and if the situation is not right, you will retreat." Got it?"

"Don't you retreat right away?" asked Li Jia.

"How much effort did it take us to capture Lagos here?How many people died?Once we retreated, wouldn't all those people die in vain?And what if we were pursued by the Temple of Nature while retreating?

Maybe the Temple of Nature won't be here so soon, and you'll still have time to fortify your defenses and summon reinforcements from the Tower of China. As long as they can send a few masters, we will be stable. ”

"Okay, Selinda. But I should be with you. Naturally, you'll have your knights in charge here, and I'm usually just an advisor and staff officer, occasionally fighting with magic. I...... I can't lead the berserkers. Li Jiadao.

Selinda said: "This matter has been decided, I will not make changes." Without further ado, I'm going to gather the knights now to arrange the action. You should inform the Tower of China as soon as possible. ”

——————————————————

A simple communication formation has been installed in the city of Lagos, which can be used to communicate with the Count or the Tower of China. However, he had not received any information from Count Carlos before, which was enough to prove that the defeat came extremely suddenly, and the Count did not even have time to use the communication circle, so he was driven by the Temple of Nature to flee in all directions. It took Li Jia half an hour to contact Xiao Chen and Wang Jiyuan, who were in the Holy Sword City.

After Xiao Chen learned the news of the Earl's defeat, he said, "We have recently observed the movement of the Natural Temple, but we didn't expect them to attack Count Carlos so decisively. However, once the Temple of Nature makes a move, according to our prediction of the Earl's strength, he will have no chance. If the Temple of Nature starts to deal with you, you will have no chance. ”

Wang Jiyuan suggested: "In my opinion, your current situation is also very dangerous, according to our information, within fifty kilometers of you, there is a natural temple legion stationed, I strongly recommend that you leave Lagos City immediately, no matter what method you use, try to get closer to us." ”

Li Jia said: "I can't leave here when Selinda needs me the most. She's going to rescue her father and leave the city to my guards. I...... Can't leave. I want to know, is there any way you can support this city? Is it possible to send reinforcements over? ”

The other side of the communication array was silent for a few seconds.

Xiao Chen said: "The matter of the Divine Presence Sect directly intervening in the war in the Natural Temple came a little suddenly, because we have newly occupied too many places, and now the troops are very open, and the defenses of various places are already stretched. At this time, it is estimated that it is not realistic to come up with the strength to go on an expedition to the cities of the Far East. But you are the closest to the Alonso family and the Thundering Tower. ”

"The armies of the Alonso family and the Thundering Tower have been making limited progress, they have too few troops, and so far they have only captured a few small cities nearby, and they can't save us. And once they know that their opponents have changed from a kingdom to a natural temple, who knows what kind of choice they will make!" Li Jia said again with a somewhat pleading tone, "Xiao Chen, for the sake of the Arias family being 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 if we can call in a few mage classes, it would be good." ”

Xiao Chen sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I can't do it." If we have a ready-made army close enough, I believe that Commander Wang can make proper arrangements to help you contain the enemy and change the current situation. But...... However, we don't have enough masters to cover our defenses, and I can't make the decision to put our masters at risk like this. ”

"Xiao Chen, you weren't like this before. Li Jia said astringently, "For friends, you will definitely go to the rescue at any cost." ”

Wang Jiyuan said: "Li Jia, are you embarrassing Xiao Chen? Now that he has become the acting chairman, he must consider the overall situation when he sees the problem. It's no longer a matter of friends' righteousness, but we have to 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 with us after all. It's the most feasible way for you to retreat quickly!"

"I ...... No, I'm not trying to embarrass anyone. In that case, there is not much to say. I'm going to help Selinda. After Li Jia said this, she hurriedly cut off the communication.
