Just as Guderian was circling Natasha in his arms, Fortan Ulis opened the door of the study and entered.
“...... Sorry......" Fortan Julius stepped back after seeing this scene and closed the door again.
Natasha blushed and buried herself in Guderian's chest when Fortan Ulis opened the door, and Guderian smiled at Fortan Gillys, although he was also a little embarrassed, and his smile was filled with satisfaction and happiness.
Guderian put Natasha down and said to the door of the study, "Master, is there something wrong?"
Natasha pinched Guderian's face and walked towards the door to open it: "Master, please come in." The shyness on Natasha's face has not yet subsided, and she looks bright and moving.
Fortan Ulis re-entered the study, looked at the two of them a few times, and said, "Bless you." ”
Natasha walked back to Guderian and graciously hugged Guderian's arm, and the two looked at each other sweetly for a second and said to Fortan Ulys, "Thank you." ”
Fortan Ulis nodded and said, "The underground world is empty, and the abyssal species have taken the opportunity to invade, and the city lord just now sent me over to participate in the battle. Are you going to stay with me or stay in the Mage Tower and wait?"
"Abyssal species?" said Guderian and Natasha in surprise.
"According to Drow, the original rulers of the underworld were the Minotaurs and Centaurs. But the Minotaurs and the Centaurs are feuding and have been fighting each other for dominance of the underworld since time immemorial. It wasn't until the arrival of the Drow, kobolds, gnomes, and some other terrestrial races that united with the Minotaurs, and some weak races such as centaurs, or races with strong individual strength but sparse populations due to reproductive problems, were driven into the abyss. After that, they are called abyssal species. The so-called abyss is also a part of the underground world. It's just that it's deep in the center of the earth, full of lava lakes or rivers, and there aren't many places to live and survive. They were driven into that environment, but they survived tenaciously and continued to grow, and for nearly a thousand years, they raised troops from below the abyss to invade from time to time. Maybe a counteroffensive would be more appropriate. Fortan Ulis explained.
"It turns out that the underground world is not peaceful. Guderian sighed.
"Hmm. The centaur clan who were driven to the abyss at that time also had some tribes left above the abyss. Although they have integrated into the world of Drow and Minotaurs, they still have the potential to act as internal responses. Therefore, Emperor Drow has a certain amount of guarding power for all cities in the underground world. It is also to prevent the forces formed by the descendants of the imperial dynasty in various time periods from falling against each other or rebelling against each other for thousands of years. Fortan Ulis said.
Natasha made eye contact with Guderian and said, "Let's go with the master." ”
"Good. I'm going to prepare some materials first, and then I'll come over and disguise you. Fortan Julius said as he walked out of the study.
"Guderian ......" Natasha and Guderian looked at Fortan Julis's notes together in the study, Natasha raised her head leaning on Guderian's shoulder and looked at Guderian's side face.
"Huh?" Guderian put down his note, turned his head, and gently hugged Natasha closer.
"I want to stay here like this......" Natasha looked at the man in front of her stupidly—she had a feeling of unreality, she was afraid that the happiness she had just had was just a dream.
"Fool. I'm going to take you back to the earth, I'm going to take you home, I'm going to marry you. Guderian kissed Natasha on the forehead affectionately. Natasha snuggled into his arms.
"Hmm!" Natasha felt very sweet, and unconsciously hugged Guderian tightly: "But what about Sophie and Ellie?"
Guderian's body stiffened a little, and there was a faint tingling in his heart. But Guderian was still firm in his heart at this time: "No one can separate us!" - when men are with the girl they love, the casual promises often become the lies after parting, but the moment they say these promises, they are convinced that they are not that kind of people. And these promises are often the most touching and remembered by girls, but the world is impermanent, can these promises that were more than Jin Jian at that time withstand the verification of time?
Natasha knew that Guderian was really fascinated by her, and she was fascinated by him. It's just Guderian's entangled past, and she is Sophie's cousin, that makes her feel that the happiness at this time is like a dream. Guderian's words made her feel a little at ease, and she believed in Guderian. It's just that reason told her that who can say what will happen in the future?
"Well, even if it's like a moth to a fire, I'll follow you......"
Soon after, the two of them became undead again under the disguise of Photanyulis. It's just that even in this state, the two can still see the affection and infatuation for each other in their eyes.
Under the lich's embarrassing reminder, the two of them reined in this flaw and followed the lich out of the mage tower. Natasha had changed into a black robe and cloak, and Guderian had changed into a full-body heavy armor and carried a two-handed greatsword.
Under the watchful eye of a tall, severed brown minotaur on the castle, the lich led the two of them through the castle, through the city of a few passers-by of various races, and out of the south gate. Then the lich summoned three mounts of strange skeletons, and immediately the three of them mounted the unnamed skeleton mounts and galloped south in the misty light. The terrain of the Underworld is not much different from the surface, except that there are no tall mountains and greenery. Led by the Lich, they traversed hills, canyons, and sparkling lava swamps. Along the way, when he was hungry, he hunted an animal that resembled a rabbit under the guidance of the lich, and when he was thirsty, he cut off a kind of half-human tall mushroom that could be found everywhere and quenched his thirst with the water stored in the mushroom umbrella. The space of the underground world is not a whole space or continent like the surface of the earth, but a space under a huge void that is composed of passages connected by passages. Along the way, because of the blockage of the lava swamp or some ancient murderous territory, or straight to the south or a detour in another direction and then to the south, passing through countless kobold tribes, more than a dozen cities of different sizes, in Guderian's feeling, there was about half a month of surface time, and finally came to the front line of the abyss.
This is through a diagonal downward passage, and in the view of Guderian and Natasha, a huge space that can be considered a sandy plain. There was no unknown light source that could emit light overhead, and the dark red light was reflected from the depths of the plain. The lich said that it was the magma lake and the lava river reflecting from below the abyss. The air here is somewhat warm and smells of sulfur. The troops of the underworld were stationed in front of the sandy plain behind the passage, guarding the passage behind them. Three or four miles away is the camp of abyssal species. When the three lichs arrived, the plains were fighting—arrays of minotaurs fending off the onslaught of centaur formations, drow archers and mages shooting or casting magic behind the minotaurs, archers and mages of unknown races behind the centaurs, and at least 30,000 people fighting on this huge battlefield in Guderian's vision. The flames of the magic explosion and the dense shadows of the arrows reflected each other, and the sounds of fighting, war drums, explosions, and roars were the main theme of the entire battlefield.
The lich took Guderian and Natasha to the camp's tent to report, and the two stood outside waiting for the lich to enter alone. The Minotaur or Drow standing guard around them turned a blind eye to Guderian and Natasha standing outside the tent - it wasn't the first time the Lich's undead servants had seen it, so there was nothing to be curious about. It wasn't until a short time later that the lich came out of the tent and led the two of them straight to the front without saying a word.
Drow and a team of dwarf mages are activating circles in front of each circle, and two gnome archmages are floating above the battlefield to battle the archmages of the abyss species. As the lich lifted into the air, the abyssal species on the opposite side also flew up, and an archmage came up to him. Natasha and Guderian stood to the right of the Drow and the Gnome Mage team - undead minions would not attack enemies from a distance away without the Lich's orders.
Under the cover of his helmet and visor, Guderian silently watched the movement of the battlefield - as it stands, the Abyssal Species did not do their best to attack the defenses of the Drow and the Minotaurs. From the rise of the lich, the corresponding archmage was dispatched in time to fight, and it can be seen that the abyssal species is at ease. According to the Lich's explanation along the way, the last power of the underground world is almost concentrated on the abyss.
In this way, the commander on the Abyssal Species side is not stupid - he didn't press all the hole cards as soon as he came up. This kind of temptation and stalemate can slowly erode the strength of the Drow and the Minotaur, and at the same time, it can also test whether the Minotaur and the Trow have reinforcements. This is a yang scheme, a yang plot that you have no choice but to take.
After a few more days of temptation, the abyss side will be able to determine the reality of the Minotaur and Drow, and the arrival of the lich is the key to winning these days. In Guderian's judgment, the loss of the passage was already inevitable. Unless a miracle happens.
Natasha didn't care about that, her eyes under the black cloak kept her eyes on Guderian. Even if Guderian was covered in heavy armor, he couldn't get enough of that figure. The corners of Natasha's mouth unconsciously rose, and with the disguised undead face, she looked extremely terrifying. Fortunately, there was a cloak and hood, and the drow or dwarf mages around her didn't notice her weird and terrifying smile.
On the battlefield, the battle continues......
