Chapter 158: Searching for Traces
Chapter 158: In Search of the Trail (Page 1/1)
Half an hour later, the drawing of the perception circle was completed, and the summoned spirit mages disappeared one after another, and only Xiao Chen and Luo Ling were left in the magic array.
Luo Ling withdrew from the circle, Xiao Chen walked to the center of the circle, he closed his eyes again, and pressed down lightly with one hand, and the light on the circle began to light up one after another.
Combined with the power of the magic circle, his perception of the bracelet immediately became distinct, and it was originally just a faint feeling, but now he could determine the direction. It's just that what makes him feel strange is that the other party didn't run this way, but went in the southeast direction. With the help of the formation, Xiao Chen had a general perception of the distance, and he could judge that Nina's position had crossed Lagos City.
Xiao Chen stepped down from the magic circle, his face full of worry, "Something is wrong, Nina is moving in the opposite direction." ”
"Did you run back to Lagos City?" asked Luo Ling.
"No, it seems to have penetrated deep into the mountains and forests southeast of Lagos City. Xiao Chen lowered his head and pondered, "Could it be that they were blocked by the troops of the Natural Temple on the way? they must have been in trouble anyway, we must have hurried over." ”
Xiao Chen didn't have time to say anything to Baños, so he directly asked him to go to Green Forest City to find Qin Mu and Li Tianrui, while he took Luo Ling and the others to set off immediately and headed in the direction of Lagos City.
When Xiao Chen and Luo Ling performed their flying skills, they were far from being comparable to Nina, they performed the levitation technique on Kalanda, Chen Hansheng and Aklei, who were warriors, and Lin Lichuan performed the flying technique himself. Then Xiao Chen used magic power to form a rope to hold everyone together, Luo Ling made a streamlined shield in front of everyone, and at the same time played the role of blocking the wind and accelerating, Lin Lichuan unfolded his strange spiritual power silk thread "The Thread of Everything", and the silk thread outlined countless wind system magic scripts at lightning speed behind them, and each rune condensed into concentric circles, and then sprayed outward air currents, pushing everyone forward. With the full strength of the three mages, it only took about thirty minutes for everyone to approach Lagos City.
The sky was already dark, and from the air, you could see the general situation in the city. Xiao Chen and the others hovered in the air and hid their traces, condescending to observe the situation on the ground. Xiao Chen cast a lens magic and magnified the scene on the ground many times in front of everyone.
The city of Lagos had just gone through a fierce battle, and black smoke was billowing from the city, which was filled with houses and trees that had been set on fire by magic. There are many small pneumatic cannons and mortar wreckage on the city wall, and it seems that even with the use of Chinese technology, Selinda's troops still did not resist the knights of the Temple of Nature for long.
Below there were soldiers carrying corpses and cleaning up the battlefield, and priests and mages were putting out fires or repairing the walls, and it looked like they were ready to restore the fortifications of the city right away.
In the distance, a procession of thousands of people was approaching from the main road to the north, preparing to enter the city through the north gate.
"That's an army of the kingdom. "Judging from the clothing, it should be the army directly under the queen, half of them are Janissaries and half are members of the Southern Army, and those who are cleaning the streets in the city now should be the remnants of Duchess Josefina who was defeated some time ago, and they should be led by the Duchess's people to avenge the Duchess." Guarding around are the Knights of the Angry Waves and the Heavenly Punishment Legion in the Temple of Nature's Guardians.
Josefina's troops, although numerous, were supposed to be limited in combat. I suspect that the Knights of the Angry Waves of the Temple of Nature and the Heavenly Punishment Battalion were the main attackers, and the Duchess's army followed them into battle. Now, however, it looks like it will be Queen Laura's army that will eventually take over the city. ”
"The people of the Temple of Nature actually consumed their own troops, labored hard to take down a city, and then handed it over to Queen Laura?" Xiao Chen felt a little strange, "This is not in line with their usual style. Judging from the corpses on the ground, they must have died quite a few people, right?"
Akle said, "That's right, do you see the gap in the wall?"
Xiao Chen fixed his eyes on it, the gap should have been blown open by powerful magic, and there were corpses lying around it, and there should have been a very tragic battle around this gap, judging from the corpses on the ground, a large number of berserkers died on the defending side, and many brightly armored Templar knights fell on the besieging side.
Aclay studied for a while and analyzed: "The besieging side of the city is from here, but the berserkers under Selinda are not easy to deal with, once they are crazy and not afraid of death, even if the battle situation is suppressed by the other party, it will not be affected by morale."
From here, the Knights of the Furious Waves have killed more people than berserkers. However, the Knights of the Angry Waves took advantage of this numerical advantage to kill all the berserkers in the gap and attack the city. However, they were ambushed by a second wave near the east gate, in which the mage and berserker worked together, with the berserker fending off the enemy in an alley, and then the mage casting a spell from behind. Strangely, however, there were no berserker corpses here, only those of the Knights of the Raging Waves. ”
"There's both elemental magic and spiritual magic. Look at the magic...... It should be Li Jia's handiwork. Luo Ling said.
Xiao Chen frowned and said, "That's right, those berserkers who don't see the corpses are not ordinary people, but Li Jia's spirit servants, and they will naturally disappear after the battle." It seems that Li Jia didn't run out before the battle, did Nina's mission fail?"
"No matter what Nina's mission is, guessing from the traces at the scene, Li Jia should have fought for a while before retreating. Aklee continued, "They were blocking the enemy near the east gate, probably covering the evacuation of the others. This battle is over, and Li Jia and the others should chase the others out of the city. ”
Chen Hansheng also said: "That's right, I saw that the enemy was constantly being scouted by small teams, like running in the forest in the southeast, they should be tracking Li Jia's remnants." ”
"Can you continue to track Nina's whereabouts?" Luo Ling asked.
Xiao Chen said: "After coming here, I feel that Nina's position is clearer, she should have run east into the mountains and forests." ”
Luo Ling said: "Find Nina first, maybe if you find her, you can figure out what happened last night." ”
