Chapter 159: Looking for the Count
A few hundred kilometers northwest of Xiao Chen and the others, on the mountain outside a small village in the mountains, there were only five people and one prisoner around Selinda.
Since the city of Baviria had been captured by the Temple of Nature, they could only teleport to a small city called Amrocle, but it was still nearly a hundred kilometers away from the town of Sedara, and Selinda forcibly used a long-distance teleportation scroll in order to hurry up, and teleported in the direction where Count Carlos might be.
This kind of long-distance teleportation without a corresponding teleportation array is a very dangerous behavior. Because as long as there is a slight deviation in the magic control, it is possible for you to appear in the mountains, or underground, and end up killing you on the spot. However, there has always been a lot of adventure in Selinda's personality, and in order to hurry, she still launched this scroll despite the dissuasion of others, but fortunately, she was lucky, and the teleportation landed in mid-air.
It's just that when the teleportation ended, a group of more than a dozen of them were exposed to the eyes of a nearby natural temple team.
The army attacked them, and Selinda and the others were caught off guard in the air, and two of the fighters died under the fire of the enemy soldiers before they could land. Selinda immediately counterattacked in the air, most of the berserker elites she was carrying, and the individual combat power was much stronger than the opponent's warriors, and after a fierce battle, in the end, Selinda's side still won the battle.
However, Celinda also lost half of her men in this encounter before she was able to defeat the opponent's squad of nearly fifty people. During the battle, she captured one of the enemy's low-ranking knights and judged the direction of Count Carlos' retreat.
It turned out that after Nina's father, Holmes, had left that day, the Count's party was soon overtaken by the Knights of the Sun. They fought a chase in the town of Sedara, and the remnants of the Count spent a great deal of money escaping the Nature's pursuit and fleeing deeper into the mountains. The enemy army that Celinda encountered today was the team searching for the Count nearby, and at that time, other teams had already discovered the traces of the Count and his party, and they were outflanking the Count's hiding place.
Selinda was lucky, the enemy army she had defeated was not far from the Count's position, and she forced the captives to lead the way, and after crossing two hills, she saw the small village in front of her. Looking down from the hill, there were about two hundred soldiers stationed in the village, wearing the armor of the Arias family, which was probably the only remaining force of the Count of Carlos.
Lumière, the leader of the Berserker Guard, crouched beside Selinda and put his hand on his forehead and looked down. He had several wounds on his body that had just congealed, and some were even oozing blood, all from the battle just now. Lumière didn't care, though, as if the wounds had no effect on him. After observing him for a moment, he said, "I see that guy from Batis, and Master Banderas is also there. It is estimated that the Earl is in this village. ”
"Looks like we've finally found a place. Selinda pulled a dagger from her boot and stabbed her nearby Nature captives into the heart without hesitation. The captive let out a low grunt, and then fell limp, convulsed a few times, and died.
Lumière looked at Selinda with appreciation, and this simple and decisive way of doing things resembled the true character of the count. Regardless of the Count's final end, as long as Miss Selinda can survive with some berserkers, there will always be a time for the Arias family to revive again.
"Now that we've found them, let's go and meet them. I also have a long-distance teleportation scroll in my hand. You can leave with my father. Selinda said.
"Miss, if the Count was willing to leave, I'm afraid he would have retreated with Master Banderas a long time ago, right?" Lumière was a very clear-headed man when he wasn't mad, "There must be a reason why he has been reluctant to retreat with teleportation magic. If there is no teleportation array, you can't take a few people away just by relying on Master Banderas to cast spells or use scrolls, right? The scroll you just used belongs to a very high-level type, but it only teleports a dozen or so people. I guess the Earl won't be able to give up on the warriors who have been fighting with him until now. ”
"Reluctance to give up his companions, is that really his character?" Selinda asked rhetorically.
"The Earl was originally a very affectionate man. His ruthlessness and ruthlessness are all directed at the enemy, or in order to confuse others, pretending to be like that. But the real man is a very considerate person for his subordinates. You may not know that when the Count pretended to be a playboy and secretly amassed strength, he solved a lot of personal matters for us subordinates, he solved the difficulties of the family for some people, avenged the past for others, and raised children for others. Otherwise, why are so many people willing to fight for him? In addition to fighting for a meritorious career, many people are moved by his sincerity. So if he himself were to fight these fighters to the end, I wouldn't find it strange at all. ”
"I don't care what he thinks, I can't delay like this now. Selinda's tone was already filled with anger, she glanced at the corpse on the ground and said, "This Nature Temple team we eliminated is just one of many outflanking teams. There must have been a large number of enemies close to this place, and if you don't find a way to take him away, it will be too late. ”
Selinda stood up and was about to jump down, but Lumière, who was next to her, reached out and grabbed her arm.
Selinda said angrily, "Lumière, what are you doing? Do you keep saying that my father has multiple feelings, but you are not ready to save him, but are you just going to watch him fall into the hands of those guys in the Temple of Nature?"
"Mademoiselle, before the Earl sent me to you, he told me very solemnly. If one day he is in crisis, I must stop you from saving him. Because if he's in danger, there's only so much you can do. ”
"Cocky guys. Selinda sneered.
"You are the most important thing in the world to Lord Earl, and he does not want you to put yourself in danger by trying to save him. Lumière's expression was both sad and sincere.
"He couldn't control me before, and he shouldn't think about it now. Let go of your hand, Lumière, or I'm welcome. With that, Selinda raised the dagger in her hand and pointed it at Lumière's chest.
While the two were at a stalemate, someone on the side suddenly shouted: "Mademoiselle, Lumière, squat down! The enemy is coming!"
