Chapter 156: Riverside Decision
Nina and her party finally passed through the area where the enemy army was located. She saw the warriors in the eyes of the mage, these warriors from the temple were quiet, strong, and capable, none of them showed much emotion, but they felt as hard as a piece of cold steel.
Nina doesn't understand military affairs, but she feels that these warriors are simply heaven and earth compared to the soldiers under Selinda.
After avoiding the legions of the gods of nature, they began to move at full speed, and soon came to a river.
There are no ferries here, and naturally there are no boats. Fortunately, the river was not too wide, and Nina and Soka discussed it, in order to save time and avoid being discovered by the people of the Nature Temple, they were going to perform the levitation spell on everyone else, and the two of them performed the flying spell themselves, and then one person took two of them, and took all six people across the river in one go.
After the two finished the spell, Nina took Loreto and Li Jia, and Soka took Miro and Holmes, and each began to cross the river.
However, Nina didn't expect that at this time, the wind blowing on the river at night was quite small, her spell foundation was not as solid as Soka, and her strength was not as strong as his.
Soka Feida on the opposite bank of the river, put down the two and looked back, and found that Nina was dragging the two of them to staggering only ten meters from the shore, he quickly flew over to help her hold Li Jia, but he didn't expect to let Li Jia fall down and fall into the water when he took off his hand during the handover.
Miro, who had already gone ashore, saw Li Jia fall into the water, and hurriedly rushed into the river, he fluttered in the water for a while, and finally pulled Li Jia ashore.
Li Jia was wearing a traditional mage robe, which was completely soaked in water after falling into the river, and it looked wet and heavy on her body.
"If he walks directly on his back, I'm afraid he will get seriously ill. Nina said.
"Let's bake it for him quickly. A thin layer of flame ignited in Soka's hand, ready to dry Li Jia's clothes.
But as soon as his hand pressed on Li Jia's chest, he was caught by a layer of light film that suddenly rose, and then the light film expanded outward, forming an egg-shaped shield that wrapped Li Jia inside.
Soka was startled and withdrew his hand, while Li Jia opened his eyes.
Nina said, "You, are you awake?"
Soka said: "It should be the relationship between falling into the water and waking him up from the effect of the sleep technique." โ
Li Jia sat up and looked at them with an angry look. He first observed his surroundings and asked, "Where is this?"
Soka and Nina looked at each other, and Nina said, "Here in the jungle west of Lagos City, we have crossed the Rรดma River. โ
Li Jia looked at Nina and shook her head and said, "I really can't imagine that even you will betray your young lady, Xiao Chen, a despicable guy, when did he buy you?"
Nina said: "How can you use such words to describe Your Excellency Xiao Chen, he arranged this rescue entirely for your own good." โ
"You call the act of knocking me unconscious and forcibly taking me away? Li Jia said angrily, "As for Xiao Chen...... He arranged spies around me without my knowledge at the beginning, without respecting my wishes at all. And now he is ignoring my determination to protect my wife's troops and forcibly takes me away. Is there anything wrong with despicable deeds?"
Nina defended: "If it weren't for His Excellency Xiao Chen's orders like this, we would have been surrounded by the enemy by now. You know what? We came out and ran into the enemy's attack, and if it hadn't been for Farot's sacrifice to distract the enemy's attention, we would have been hit directly by the enemy's army. โ
"What?" Li Jia looked up in the direction of Lagos City, he could vaguely see the light from between the branches and leaves of the woods, and then listen carefully to the rumbling sound, "It's already a fight?"
Nina said in a deep voice, "The Temple of Nature has sent at least four or five different forces to attack us, and there are also kingdom armies with them. I don't know exactly how many soldiers they have, but from the Mage's Eye, there must be a lot more than we do. Those are the elites of the Nature Temple!"
Li Jia stood up, ran a few steps towards the river, and then performed a flying technique and took off. He looked east from the sky and saw that all kinds of magic were constantly exploding on the walls of Lagos City, and it was the enemy magician who was attacking the city. He knew by looking at the light that the enemy had at least thirty or forty mages in the attack, and had an overwhelming advantage over the defenders of the city.
Nina also flew up and said to him: "Your Excellency Xiao Chen's judgment is not wrong, if Miss Selinda decided to retreat at the first time, we would have hoped to escape from their encirclement before the other party's army converged, but now it is too late." You're a high-level mage, so it's easy to see that we don't have a chance of winning, right?"
"But if I'm ......," Li Jia clenched her fists, "the situation will always be better, right? and if I want to evacuate from the city, I can cover more people." โ
Nina grabbed Li Jia's arm and pleaded, "Lord Li Jia! It's too late to say this, we have to go! We are not far enough away from them now, and we are not safe enough, the people of the Natural Temple may find out about us at any time and catch up with us." โ
Li Jia shook off Nina's hand, he flew to the other side of the river, and stood facing the wind in Lagos City, "I can't look like this, I have to do something, Selinda gave me a city and an army, I can't do nothing, run away like a coward!"
Nina and Soka stopped in front of him, and Nina said, "You will only kill yourself if you go past like this, what is the use of you rushing to the army of the Temple of Nature alone? โ
Li Jia said: "I won't appreciate Farot's matter, I never asked him to do anything for me!
"No!" Nina said firmly.
Li Jia stretched out a hand and said, "Since you have already made a move on me just now, then I have nothing to be polite to now." โ
After saying that, a ball of light erupted from his hand, and a spiritual detonation magic exploded directly next to Nina and Sokka, and the two of them couldn't withstand such a blow from a high-level mage, and fell into the water one after another.
By the time they came back to their senses in the water, Li Jia had disappeared into the night sky.
"Miss Nina, what should we do? Shall we withdraw ourselves?" asked Soka.
"No, I can't explain to His Excellency Xiao Chen, we ...... We chase!"
