At four o'clock in the morning, in the town of Lasia, east of Gronia City, the acting city lord of Gronia, Baños, stood humbly and respectfully beside Xiao Chen and his party, watching Xiao Chen stand on a stone fountain in the town square, with his eyes closed and performing some secret technique.

The man in front of him is the supreme leader of the Tower of China, the Great Magician, and an exotic visitor with a mysterious heritage. Compared to him, Baños was just a mid-level knight who followed Selinda, and although he was now in charge of a city, he didn't dare to have any disrespect in front of Xiao Chen.

He followed Xiao Chen and the others, and after a midnight trek, he came to this town more than a hundred kilometers away from Gronia City.

After Xiao Chen and the others came to Gronia, they wanted to go to a closer location to meet Li Jia and the others, so Baños recommended this town.

The town of Lasia is located halfway between the cities of Gronha and Lagos and is a must-stop on the way from Lagos to Gronya. The town was also recently conquered by Selinda, and it turned out to be a stone-producing town with some of the best stonemasons in the vicinity. However, as Selinda's army crossed the border, the town was almost destroyed, and most of the town's young men were taken away by Selinda as artisans and slaves. Later, when it was used as a transportation and supply line, there were often convoys and reconnaissance teams stationed, and the remaining old people, women and children were repeatedly plagued, and those who did not die fled to the surrounding villages for refuge. Now, the town, which used to be home to more than a thousand people, is empty, like a ghost town, and looks very eerie in the early morning.

Xiao Chen opened his eyes and floated down from the stone carving of the fountain.

"Can you sense Nina's bracelet?" Luo Ling asked.

Xiao Chen stretched out a little finger, pinched the top section and said, "There is only a little feeling, I can sense her existence, but I can't judge the direction." I need a big array of heightened perceptions. I need to ask you how many people you can borrow to make this circle. ”

Xiao Chen beckoned to Baños, who walked forward quickly and asked, "Lord Xiao Chen, do you need anything?"

"I borrowed a piece of your field in this town and used it to set up a formation, don't you mind?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Of course, it's my pleasure to help you. What's more, it's almost like Borderlands. Baños bent down and said, "I also have a few mages here, although their strength is far from yours, do you need their help?"

Xiao Chen said, "No need. We're grateful to be able to get us here with a teleportation array and show us the way. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, then you get busy first. Baños stepped aside.

Xiao Chen and Luo Ling stood in the square, Xiao Chen stretched out a finger, put a little on Luo Ling's forehead, and told Luo Ling about the structure of the magic circle through the soul bridge, the latter closed his eyes and thought for a minute or two, and nodded, meaning that he had understood the structure of the formation.

Then around the two of them, figures began to appear continuously, Xiao Chen's side appeared Tasia and Elaina, and Luo Ling had more than a dozen mages around him. After these mages appeared, they began to tacitly draw patterns and place crystals on the square, and soon a large magic circle took shape.

Baños looked at it from the sidelines and his heart was full of admiration, he couldn't understand how these people appeared, he just simply felt that Xiao Chen and they were very powerful. But Ravi, the mage assistant beside him, was stunned, he could feel the magic fluctuations that had not been transmitted just now, but these mages actually appeared.

"What's wrong?" asked Baños at the sight of Ravi's blank gaze.

"The strength of these Chinese is terrible. Even my teacher, Master Banderas, couldn't do that. Having a group of mages appear silently allows so many people to draw the same circle so quickly as if they had a single mind. Lavi cupped her chin and shook her head vigorously, "Only a mage can understand the uncanny. ”

"Do you think they are more powerful than the Earl?" asked Baños.

Ravi nodded.

"Isn't that great?" said Baños softly, "but luckily they're strong enough and here again, so we're finally able to get on the line." ”

Ravi immediately came back to his senses, and he said, "Are you ready to give up the Earl's side and go to the Chinese?"

"If you don't turn to the Chinese, do you wait for the people of the Temple of Nature to come to Gronia City and crush our little city defense team?" Baños sighed, "I don't want to turn my back on Miss Selinda." However, the battle between Count Carlos's main force and the Temple of Nature felt like an egg hitting a stone, and such a good situation collapsed in an instant. But look at what the Chinese are doing? Shaking the Heimu Pass, which was personally guarded by the emperor, forced the sage back and killed the emperor. Only with strength like theirs can resist the Temple of Nature!"

"I know, it's just...... If only they could do a favor to Lord Earl. Ravi said pitifully.

"Who told them to be too far apart? "But, then again, there is often only one winner in this kind of king-to-king competition. Now friends may become tomorrow's enemies, and this time it was the Temple of Nature that struck and defeated the Count, perhaps a lucky thing for the Chinese. ”

"However, Lord Xiao Chen doesn't seem to have time to listen to you. Ravi said.

"Isn't there still Lord Chen from Arano City?" said Baños.

He saw that Chen Hansheng was looking at the surrounding ruins, and stepped forward and said directly, "Lord Chen, I need your help. ”

"Oh?"

"I want the city of Gronia to be under the jurisdiction of Alaru. Otherwise, after a few days at most, it will also become a dead city like this town. Baños said.

"Are you going to use our power to fight against the Nature Temple?" Chen Hansheng already had a premonition in his heart about what he was going to say.

"No, not with the help of you, but with the complete surrender of the city to you. "I'm just guarding this place for Miss Selinda, and I don't have enough strength to defend the city. Rather than let it fall into the hands of Miss Selinda's enemies, it will be left to you. Not only that, but there are quite a few towns that Miss Selinda has attacked all the way, and I think their administrators, if they are sober enough, will make the same choice as me. ”

"You can think this for the ordinary people in the city, it can be said that you have a heart, this matter needs to be discussed with Chairman Xiao Chen. Chen Hansheng patted Baños on the shoulder and said, "But I guess his answer should be 'good'." ”
