Chapter 150: At the turning point

The shouting became clearer.
"Miss Celinda! Miss Celinda!"
"It's Nina." Celinda stood up. "Something must have happened, otherwise she won't bother me at this time."
Celinda pushed open the door of the roof and saw her maid, Nina, rushing up in a hurry, with a look of panic and tears on her face, as if something terrible had happened.
Seeing Selinda, Nina ignored the etiquette, grabbed her by the arm, and stuttered, "Miss! Something serious happened, your father was defeated, my father sent a message, he just arrived Below, I was seriously injured. "
Celinda grabbed her: "What are you talking about?"
"It was Lord Earl's army that was defeated. Only my father escaped and brought the letter." Nina repeated.
"Calm down, how about your father?" Celinda asked.
"It's downstairs," Nina said.
"Then go! Let's take a look below!" Li Jia said.
"Take me to see him soon!" Celinda pulled Nina down the stairs, and Li Jia hurried down.
Nina's father, Holmes Knight, was lying on a bed in a bedroom. He was injured a lot because he lost too much blood, and his face was miserable. He leaned on the cushion at the head of the bed and his eyes were about to catch up, but he still tried hard to open his mouth and tried not to fall asleep.
When Celinda broke into the room, Holmes propped her body up hard and said, "Miss Celinda, there is an extremely urgent military situation! The army of Lord Earl was ambushed by the knights of the Sunshine Knights of the Temple of Nature and the Celestial Corps ! "
"Why did the Temple of Nature suddenly attack us? There was no sign before! And we also reached a tacit agreement with the priest of Roland. How could this happen suddenly! What is the situation with the count himself? What about the army under his hands? "
"I do n’t know if your father escaped their siege in the end, but I ordered him to highlight the encirclement to inform you that there must be an army of natural temples near you too, if we judge it right If it is, the main attack will be the Guardian Corps led by the Raging Knights. The Holmes punishment. "Holmes said in a breath. After he finished speaking, he coughed several times and spouted a blood. Frightened, Nina hurried up to wipe him.
Celinda shouted to Nina: "Don't add to the chaos here, hurry and find a healer."

"Oh, yes." Nina gave her father a worried look and hurried out the door.
Celinda has been commanding the army for a while, and now she is sullen and speaks with majesty: "Homs, you now tell me in detail what happened."
Holmes raised his head and looked away from the window. "Everything happened three days ago."
He paused, as if remembering what happened in the end: "In the past ten days or so the Count is leading us to siege the Rock Fortress. The fortress is very strong. Although the Duke of Hoval has repeatedly lost to our hands, his hands are still there. There are a lot of troops, these people shrink in the rock fort, so that every inch of the wall of the rock fort is filled with enemies, it is difficult to deal with.
We pierced three camps in three directions in the northwest and south of Panshibao. Daying is the west camp where the earl is located. Although the defense of Panshibao is solid, but with the pneumatic gun the Chinese gave us, it was only time to knock on the wall problem. Four days ago, we opened a gap during the day. Then they kept suppressing each other, so that they could not use magic to repair this wall. Lord Earl was ready to launch the main attack at night, breaking through the gap and taking the Rock Fort in one fell swoop.
But just when our team started attacking Rock Fort from several directions at the same time, the main berserker team began to attack the castle wall gap. Many temple knights and soldiers of the guards of the temple came out from nowhere. They suddenly appeared from the back of our team. Under the cover of magic, they launched a surprise attack on us while the night was dark.
No matter how powerful the army is, they cannot resist the enemies rushing from behind, not to mention that these enemies are extremely powerful. The enemy forces in the rock fort also rushed out of the castle together, striking our troops on both sides. "
"That night" Holmes shook his head bleakly. "It was a complete defeat."
"What about their main berserkers? Was they also defeated?"
"That's the knights of the blazing sun. They formed two cavalry ranks with knights above the middle level, and attacked our mad warrior troops. You all know that mad warriors will lose their minds once they go crazy. The warrior led the original attack route, lured them into the traps prepared by the temple priests, controlled them with vine magic, and trapped them alive in those vines. "
"So what happened to my father-in-law?" Li Jia asked.
"Because Xiying couldn't stop the madmen of the guards of the palace, Lord Earl led us the guard knights, and some of the gathered soldiers retreated to the city of Bevilla. At the time, I found that the city had also fallen into the hands of the Temple of Nature. Because after a night of fighting and running away, everyone needed rest and supplies, Lord Earl could only take us to a nearby city called Cedara to stop However, we all know that it takes only a few hours at most to find us from the Temple of Nature. Lord Earl believes that the Temple of Nature will not attack him alone, and will also come to deal with your flank troops. So, we must deal with the situation he encountered Tell you.
Lord Earl ordered me to separate you from the five other knights, but when I came out, I ran into an enemy army who came to chase the Earl. I was spotted and spotted by their scouts. . It seemed that we, the messengers, were the only ones who stood out in the end. "
"What does he want us to do?" Celinda asked.
"Retreat, withdraw to Ariak, and send a messenger to the Tower of China to seek assistance. Now you have to move on, or it is impossible to stick to Lagos City. There is a lack of popular support in the city, and only the Chinese can change the situation. , Help you to siege. Your troops are all pieced together, the walls here have been damaged, and the residents do not support you. Once you encounter the siege of the Temple of Nature, you will be attacked inside and outside. Only if you retreat immediately, you can attack in the Temple of Nature. Survive underneath. "Holmes said suddenly with a solemn tone." Master Earl specially told me that I must emphasize that you should never think about saving him! "
