Mo Yu sat quietly beside Bella's bed. Bella was covered in bandages, like a mummy. She was severely burned all over her body, and her eyes were blind. She couldn't move. If she hadn't had divine power in her body and received magical treatment from the healing wizard, this level of injury would have killed her. But she at least survived in Mo Yu's Suzaku team. Except for Mo Yu, Gawain and her, all other masters died in the battle.
Mo Yu recalled the action at that time. The Suzaku team had a smooth start. There was only one saint stationed in the temple they raided. Mo Yu and Gao Wen attacked openly and secretly and easily dealt with him. However, the people in the temple informed the news in time, which attracted an ambush team from the City of God.
Perhaps it was because enemies often meet on a narrow road. Mo Yu and his team did not expect that this team was led by the commander of the City of God, Dominic. When he saw Mo Yu and Gawain, he was like an enemy meeting, and he was particularly jealous. As soon as he found out that the other party was the Sword Tower Saint who caused him huge losses, he began to mobilize all his forces to hunt down Mo Yu and Gawain. The Suzaku team was chased for five whole days and paid a great sacrifice in the pursuit. Bella was seriously injured by the opponent's magic during the fierce battle on the way. Mo Yu's original injury was more serious, but her strange mad swordsman physique allowed her to recover quickly. But Bella did not have such ability.
"Thirsty..." Bella, who was wrapped in clothes, made a hoarse sound.
Mo Yu quickly used a spoon to scoop some water from the cup on the bedside and dripped it between her lips. However, when she scooped the second spoonful, the room suddenly shook, and the light coming in from the window became much brighter. Mo Yu looked out the window and saw an extremely huge fireball exploded in the sky. It was blocked by the city shield of Arano and turned into dazzling fireworks. However, the air vibration it brought still affected the entire city under the shield.
"Is that... an enemy?" Bella wanted to turn her head to look out the window, but her neck was stuck and she couldn't turn to the window at all.
"They are enemies, but don't worry, they can't get in." Mo Yu comforted her, "It is said that the city's defense shield is newly built, and there are many troops in the city. Even if they have many saints, they can't get in."
"You...you go. They need you." Bella said.
"Gawain has gone." Mo Yu looked at the spark that was constantly blooming and said, "Now, no one has told me what to do, so let me accompany you. The mayor here, Chen Hansheng, said that he would not easily let us go to the battlefield unless it was necessary. He is a very courageous man. Although his strength is not high, he is not afraid of those saints. He also said that saints are not the only decisive factor in the battle. The soldiers of the guards can also play their role."
Bella sighed.
Mo Yu gave her another sip of water, then said, "Don't think about anything else, just have a good rest."
"I... am praying." Bella said, "I hope she can help us at the most critical moment."
Mo Yu said: "I never count on help from others. Even if He Xiaoxi is not a god like the God of Nature, we should not pin our hopes on her. I just hope that if she shows up, she can heal your injury."
After Mo Yu finished speaking, a white fluorescent light suddenly appeared on Bella's body. The fluorescent light appeared suddenly and without a source, but it began to heal her injuries. The light lasted for about five minutes. Although Bella was still wrapped in bandages, Mo Yu could feel that her breath had improved a lot. Bella said: "She responded to me. She said that she could only do so much, but she couldn't appear in the place where the saints of the city of gods appeared. If she was exposed in front of these people, it might cause the God of Nature to awaken early. The rest of the battle must be done by ourselves."
Mo Yu nodded and said, "It should be so."
There was a knock on the door behind Mo Yu. She turned around and saw Chen Hansheng and Lorenzo walking into the room together.
Chen Hansheng's cheeks were thin, his eyes were red, and he looked very upset. Mo Yu could clearly feel his hands trembling slightly. And Lorenzo behind him did not have the high spirits that Mo Yu had seen him the last time. It seemed that both of them had suffered a great blow.
However, when Chen Hansheng spoke to her, his voice was still calm. He said, "Miss Mo Yu, there is a mission now that requires your help."
"Please go ahead. I'm almost recovered now."
"In the past two days, the army of the city of God and the saints outside the city have been bombarding our city shield. They drew a large siege array and used magic to consume our shield. Fortunately, Arano is a new city and one of the most important military strongholds in the south, so the city defense is one of the best in all the cities of the Tower of China. But their attack is not without effect. The two points where they concentrated their attacks have already begun to show damage to the array system. However, repairing these parts will reduce the strength of the array in these places, and perhaps there will be holes of a certain size. When our people repair the array, someone needs to guard there to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the opportunity. I want you, Gawain and Lorenzo to do this together. This is all the saints we can send. I will send the most elite guards to assist you, and I will also mobilize the artillery fire on the city wall to cover your actions. But..."
"Okay." Mo Yu interrupted the other party and said, "I've already said that I will follow your command in this battle."
"I know, I know." Chen Hansheng was silent for a while, "But this mission is very dangerous. Even more dangerous than raiding the other side's saint."
Mo Yu did not answer, but listened quietly to the other party continue talking.
"You may face several or even more than ten saints besieging you. The battle will be fierce, and you may not be able to return." Liu Yisheng said with his head down, "You have just recovered from your injuries, and Lorenzo has just been teleported from Green Forest City to the city. I really don't want you to carry out such a mission, but I have no other choice. If the city's protective shield is broken, the city will be doomed."
Mo Yu touched Bella's head and said, "It is indeed a challenge. I accept it."
"I should have died anyway, but my life was saved by Kalanda. It would be best if I could use it to protect the city she built." Lorenzo's voice was not loud, but his tone was very firm.
