On the Seven Towers

Nina and her group finally passed through the area where the enemy was. She saw the appearance of those warriors in the wizard's eye. These warriors from the temple were quiet, strong and capable. None of them revealed too much emotion, but they felt as hard as a piece of cold steel.

Nina didn't understand military affairs, but she felt that there was a huge gap between these warriors and the soldiers under Serinda.

After they avoided the army of the God of Nature, they started to move forward at full speed and soon came to a river.

There was no ferry here, and naturally there was no boat. Fortunately, the river was not too wide. Nina and Sokka discussed it. In order to save time and avoid being discovered by the people of the Temple of Nature, they planned to cast the floating spell on everyone else, and two people cast the flying spell by themselves, and then each person took two, and took all six people across the river in one breath.

After the two finished the spell, Nina took Loreto and Li Jia, and Sokka took Milo and Holmes, and they each started to cross the river.

However, Nina did not expect that the wind blowing over the river at night was quite strong. Her magic foundation was not as solid as Soka's, and her strength was not as great as his. When she was hovering on the river bank, she felt that she was at ease, but when she was on the river, she became powerless.

Soka flew to the opposite bank, put the two people down and looked back. He found that Nina was dragging the two people and was shaky only ten meters away from the shore. He hurried over to help her hold Li Jia, but he didn't expect that when he handed over, he slipped his hand and let Li Jia fall into the water.

Milo, who had already landed, saw Li Jia fall into the water and rushed to the river. He struggled in the water for a while and finally pulled Li Jia ashore.

Li Jia was wearing a traditional wizard robe. After falling into the river, it was completely soaked by the water. It looked wet and heavy on his body.

"If he carries him directly on his back in this state, he might get seriously ill." Nina said.

"Help him dry quickly." Soka lit a thin flame on his hand, preparing to dry Li Jia's clothes.

But just as his hand touched Li Jia's chest, it was blocked by a layer of light film that suddenly rose, and then the light film expanded outward, forming an egg-shaped shield, wrapping Li Jia inside.

Soka was startled and retracted his hand, while Li Jia opened his eyes.

Nina said: "You, you woke up?"

Soka said: "It should be because of the fall into the water that woke him up from the effect of the sleep spell."

Li Jia sat up and looked at them with anger. He first observed the surrounding environment and asked, "Where is this?"

Sokha and Nina looked at each other, and Nina said, "This is the jungle west of Lagos City. We have crossed the Roma River."

Li Jia looked at Nina and shook her head and said, "I can't believe that even you would betray your lady. When did Xiao Chen, this despicable guy, bribe you?"

Nina said, "How can you use such words to describe Mr. Xiao Chen? He arranged this rescue entirely for your own good."

"You call the act of knocking me out and forcibly taking me away a rescue? This is too ridiculous." Li Jia said angrily, "As for Xiao Chen... He arranged spies around me without my knowledge at the beginning, and did not respect my wishes at all. And now he ignored my determination to protect my wife's troops and forcibly took me away. Is there anything wrong with describing such actions as despicable?"

Nina argued "If it weren't for Lord Xiao Chen's order, we would have been surrounded by the enemy now. Do you know? We ran into the enemy's attack when we came out. If it weren't for Falot sacrificing himself to divert the enemy's attention, we would have been directly hit by the enemy's army."

"What?" Li Jia looked up in the direction of Lagos City. He could vaguely see the light from the branches of the woods. If he listened carefully, he could hear a rumbling sound. "It's already fighting?"

Nina said in a low voice: "The Temple of Nature has sent at least four or five different troops to attack us, and there are also the Kingdom's troops with them. Although I don't know how many soldiers they have, from the Mage's Eye, I can see that there are definitely many more than us. Those are the elite of the Temple of Nature!"

Li Jia stood up, ran a few steps towards the river, and then performed a flying spell to soar into the air. He looked east from the air and saw that various magics kept exploding on the walls of Lagos City. It was the enemy's magicians who were attacking the city. He knew from the lights that the enemy had at least thirty or forty magicians participating in the attack, which was an overwhelming advantage over the defenders in the city.

Nina also flew up and followed him and said, "Mr. Xiao Chen's judgment was correct. If Miss Serinda had decided to retreat immediately, we would have had hope of escaping their encirclement before the enemy's army closed in, but now it's too late. You are a high-level magician, so it should be easy for you to see that we have no chance of winning, right?"

"But if I'm here..." Li Jia clenched his fists, "The situation will always be better, right? And if we have to evacuate from the city, I can also cover more people."

Nina grabbed Li Jia's arm and pleaded, "Lord Li Jia! It's too late to say this now, we have to go! We are not far enough from them now, and it's not safe enough. The people from the Temple of Nature may find us and catch up at any time."

Li Jia shook off Nina's hand. He flew to the other side of the river and stood facing the wind in Lagos. "I can't look at it like this. I have to do something. Selinda gave me a city and an army." Army, I can't do nothing and run away like a coward!"

Nina and Soka stopped in front of him. Nina said: "You will only get yourself killed if you go there like this. What's the use of rushing in front of the army of the Temple of Nature alone? Then Farot will be in vain." Dead? I won't let you go."

Li Jiadao: "I won't appreciate what happened to Farot. I never asked him to do anything for me! Get out of my way!"

"No!" Nina said firmly.

Li Jia stretched out a hand and said: "Since you have already attacked me just now, I have nothing to be polite about now."

After saying that, a ball of light erupted from his hand, and a mental explosion magic exploded directly beside Nina and Soka. The two of them could not withstand such a blow from the high-level mage and fell into the water one after another.

By the time they came to their senses in the water, Li Jia had disappeared into the night sky.

"Miss Nina, what should we do? Should we evacuate first?" Sokka asked.

"No! I can't explain to Mr. Xiao Chen, we... we chase!"
