Chapter 46: Underground Operations
In the small square below the tower, a cloud of teleportation light dispersed. Garriot appeared on the ground, crouching down, a third of his body that had been covered with scales was now shaved off, and there were many horrific wounds on the exposed flesh.
The Marquis of Bardini and Marco, Primo and others, as well as the remaining Black Guards, were mostly gathered in this square. They all gathered around Sacheri's half-headed corpse.
Seeing Garriot appear here with a miserable face, the healer mage in the Black Guard hurriedly rushed to treat him.
The scales and other dragon traits on Garriot's body began to fade slowly, but as he regained his human form, many wounds slowly recovered, which is the strength of the bloodline warriors, and in the process of transforming from a powerful form to a human, many injuries will also be healed by the body, gradually returning to the range of human bearing.
However, this is not without a price, it will further consume the power of their bloodline, and the less the power of the bloodline, the worse the effect of the next transformation, which can only be slowly recovered through recuperation.
By the time he had fully regained his human appearance, his injuries had healed a lot. There was no more blood on his body, but his face was horribly pale. He walked up to Sacheri's corpse and sighed, "Poor Sacheri and Miguel have unfortunately fallen into the battle with such a powerful enemy, but they have maintained the honor of the empire until their deaths. ”
There was silence, and even Marco stopped talking. Everyone had just seen the whole battle from the city tower, and although it was far away and some details could not be seen clearly, everyone knew how much advantage these Chinese occupied.
Garriott raised his head and said to the Marquis of Bardini, who was about to stop talking, "This is a very costly battle, and no matter how many of your soldiers die, they will not be worth the deaths of Sacheri and Miguel. So stop any more complaining nonsense. We have sacrificed so much that we finally understand what kind of enemy we are facing. ”
"What kind of enemies do you think they are?" Marco asked.
Gariot looked at him like an idiot and said, "Of course it's an enemy we can't defeat. ”
He poked Marco in the heart with his finger: "I remember you, boy, aren't you very good at coming up with ideas?" You better come up with an idea as soon as possible, how to rush out and cause some losses to the Chinese outside, I wait for your action." Otherwise, I'll throw you out in two days. ”
"Lord Garriot, how can I do something that you can't do?" said Marco.
"If you can't, you have to do it. Ignoring him, Garriot walked up to the Marquis of Bardini, pointed to the shield in the sky, and said, "You'd better hope this thing will last long enough, or you'll ......" he shook his head and walked with the remaining blackguards towards his station.
When Garriot and the blackguards were far away, Marquis Bardini said to Marco: "Marco, you shouldn't provoke Lord Garriot, we can't do without his blackguards to keep the city." Even if we don't keep the city, we can't do without his help. ”
Marco said: "My lord, I am only making suggestions based on tactical needs. I have no selfish intentions, even a little, to protect our own strength. ”
"And the truth is that our strength has not been saved, and we have offended him. Marquis Bardini said.
"My lord, do you really want to follow them to the dark?"
"What kind of words is this! Don't you know what kind of people the Chinese are? They are fundamentally opposed to the aristocracy! We can do business with them. But to get them to come and strip me of my nobility and let me sit with people of untouched origin? Bardini frowned, waved his hand, and said, "Do your thing, don't provoke Lord Garriot for the past two days, follow me in peace, you won't regret it in the end." ”

In a tunnel somewhere underground, Tasia, Elaine, and Xiaobai are groping their way forward. After the enemy in the previous enchantment control center was warned, a large number of additional men were dispatched, the passage to the inner layer was blocked, and the True Eye was placed at the door, so that Tasia and the others could not get close at all.
Because they were too far away from Xiao Chen, and there was a barrier from the ground, the connection in the meditation world became very weak, but they had a vague sense of Xiao Chen's situation. Although they didn't know the specific situation, they understood that Xiao Chen and Master Kona's actions were very unsuccessful, and the barrier had already risen, so the problem of solving the barrier fell on them.
"We have to find other places where we can cut in. "We've been wandering around the entrance for a long time. However, these pathways are well guarded, and if we don't take action to lure people away, we won't find a chance. The three crossings leading to the control center were each guarded by seven or eight people. ”
"We can destroy them if we want to. Elaine said.
"And then there were the reinforcements from afar. Tasia shook her head, "We can't deal with that many people. ”
"But if I try to get their attention, you and Xiaobai will have a chance. Elaina said.
Xiao Chen would never agree. You're kidding your life. Both magic and vindictiveness can destroy our souls. ”
"Okay. I just think that the second life is just as careful as the first, and that's too boring. What's more, this time the life is not complete. ”
"Xiao Chen has always treated us as complete people. Tasia argued.
Elaine stretched, "Just an offer." Xiao Chen is like this, Xiao Chen is like that, you are really Xiao Chen's housekeeper. ”
Tasia wanted to talk back, but Elaine suddenly pulled her and pointed in one direction, "What do you see that person doing?"
Tasia looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw a mage-like figure, escorted by two warriors, walking in their direction.
Tasia and Elaine hurriedly avoided it. The mage came to a stone wall behind them, took out a basket from the storage ring, and pulled out a hedron from the basket and placed it on the wall, and as the layers of the formation lit up, the stone wall behind them showed the outline of a stone door. When the magic text penetrated the entire stone door, the door slowly opened. The two of them hurriedly glanced and found that the interior of the stone gate was full of complex magic arrays, which were running at full strength, and there was a very bright light shining through it.
The mage walked in with a basket, and the stone door slowly closed. After about half an hour he came out again, still carrying the basket in his hand.
