Throne Steps

Three months later, near the ancient city outside Beidi.

The tail feathers brought a flaming arrow down from the sky, making a buzzing sound of piercing the air in mid-air, and the heat came with the sound of the wind.The arrows hit the magician's protective cover and the shield array composed of giant shields, and the thud-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thumped soldiers' arms that supported the shield array went numb.

Suddenly, an arrow hit a protective shield heavily.

The magician exclaimed in shock: "Oh no!"

It was too late, but at the moment when the protective cover was about to shatter and several arrows were about to fall, a bigger and stronger protective cover rose up in an instant, blocking the flying arrows.

"Your Highness!"

The head guard followed Saenz, holding his sword tightly in his hand: "The time has passed, please retreat!"

"The soldiers in front haven't finished withdrawing yet, so the cover cannot be weakened!" Saenz supported the shield, and every time the arrow hits, he will receive an energy shock. "Retreating too quickly will give the enemy a chance..."

"Magic attack preparation—" A commander's voice came from not far away, "Count down, three! Two! One—"

At this moment, all the magic shields and shield formations were quickly dispelled and disappeared, and with a sound of "Hit!!!", a wave of attacks rushed out at the same time from dozens of places where the magic power was concentrated!The strong magic power is like a huge arrow, like a flying stone, like a huge fireball smashed down from the sky, instantly melting the arrow that hit it, and rushing straight to the rear of the enemy in the distance!

Boom - boom!

The long sword of the guard cut off an arrow that had slipped through the net and said to Saenz, "Your Highness, you have been fighting continuously for a long time, and I'm afraid it won't work if you continue like this!"

"It won't take much longer." Saenz held the staff in one hand and the long sword in the other, striding forward, "Support will arrive soon, just hold on for a while, and form an encirclement..."

On the top of his staff, the magic crystal that originally contained strong magic power has become very dim. Even so, these not-so-bright colors are still flowing slowly.

This means that Saenz is urging the remaining magic power inside.

"Your Highness, we can hold on, don't go any further!" The chief guard chased after him, "Everyone can hold on!"

"I can hold on too! Don't talk nonsense!" Saenz pointed to the side, "You go and help there."

"Your Highness! I..."

boom!bang bang——

There were a few more explosions in the distant sky, but this time the soldiers were not frightened, but surprised.

"The reinforcements are here!!!"

An eagle roared high in the sky.

When Saenz woke up, he found himself lying in a room set in the ruins of the ancient city.

what happened?

He closed his eyes for a while, and finally remembered that the army stationed in the ancient city finally joined the reinforcements, and the vagrant tribes who harassed and attacked the garrison in the ancient city were severely defeated.At the end of that battle, he collapsed because his heart was relaxed and his strength was exhausted.

The most difficult time is over.

Thinking of this, Saenz got a little more refreshed, but he was still exhausted.He slowly turned his head, and was about to pull the bell beside the bed, when he suddenly saw something that was not there before on the table not far away.

A round earthenware pot, and a flower branch inserted in it, covered with flowers almost like a ball.

The petals are red. Although they are a little dry and a few pieces have fallen on the table, they are still the brightest color in the room.The outdoor lighting hits its side, and with a little breeze, its petals sway gently, and then slowly fall one piece.

Saenz himself didn't even notice, his eyes became soft and focused.

He just stared at it for a long time before pulling down the bedside bell.

A little orderly came in. Seeing that Saenz's eyes were open, he rushed to the bedside in three steps: "Good morning, Your Highness, how do you feel? Do you need some water? Shall I call the doctor?"

He spoke quickly, but clearly and without being offensive.Saenz finished listening quietly, only glanced at the flowers on the table, and asked, "He's here?"

"Ah?" The little orderly followed his gaze and looked back, confused, "Who?"

Saenz understood, but he didn't explain to the little orderly, he just said: "Pour me a glass of water, and then go to the doctor. Also, find my head guard and ask him to call the person who brought the flowers. "

"Yes!" The little orderly went to the table and poured water, and asked Saenz, "Your Highness, do I want to take these fallen petals..."

"No, keep it."

A few minutes later, the doctor and the chief guard came, followed by the "flower sender".

"You've been in a coma for a day and two nights, how do you feel?" The doctor said while examining Saenz, "Your magic power is exhausted now, so the source of magic power will feel a little weak, but it will recover after a good rest. The trauma on your body Basically nothing serious, but the injury on the right calf still needs to be recuperated, it is best not to exert force for the next two weeks..."

The doctor was talking one by one, but only the head of the guard was listening carefully. As for Saenz, his eyes had drifted to the person sitting at the table.

The man also looked back at Saenz quietly.

They remained silent until the examination was over. The doctor said he was going to explain Saenz's meals to the kitchen, picked up his bag and left.Out of "interest", the chief guard chased the doctor away.

The door was gently closed.

The people in the room continued to be silent for a few minutes, and finally, the person beside the table couldn't bear it first, held a flower that fell on the table and said: "I wanted to send it right away, but who knew that it was put in the storage ring forcibly?" It’s been so long. Although it has been dried, it’s still a bit ugly hahaha..."

Saenz said to him, "Li Chen, come here."

Li Chen was horrified by his stare, and unconsciously squeezed the flowers with his fingers: "..."

Saenz made a gesture to get up: "Then I'll go over..."

"Don't, don't, don't!" Li Chen immediately jumped up, joking, the doctor just told him not to move, "I'll go over, don't move."

So, Li Chen honestly sat on Saenz's bedside.

Saenz closed his eyes: "Why are you here? You and Yan Ying?"

"You guessed it all, why are you still asking me?" Li Chen replied, "When I followed Yan Ying to the border, I thought it would be over in a short time, but it turned out to be more than two months, and the flowers were about to fall... ..."

At the beginning, Saenz decided that the border army and the ancient city army would fight at the same time and meet each other in order to achieve the goal of opening up the route and allowing the border army to support the ancient city.However, if it is necessary to leave enough combat power to defend the border, the second batch of crossing troops will be somewhat stretched.In order to solve this problem, Saenz in turn borrowed the method of the Southwest - requesting the support of the mercenary group.

As a large mercenary group with its base camp in the north, Rock Eagle was the first to respond to Saenz's request.As soon as Li Chen heard about this opportunity, he took some black swans and sneaked into Yanying's team. During the period, he also ran into Zuoman and Leather Bear's team, not to mention.

He was still talking about flowers, but Saenz said: "I don't know if there will be a stalemate? Come to the battlefield without being prepared? Are you dying? Are your injuries healed?"

Li Chen came here for him, and now that he has scolded him, he doesn't care at all.In fact, his injuries are not healed, but how can he be healed?It is confirmed that the damage to the magic power source cannot be fully restored, and Li Chen still cannot lift heavy objects with his right hand. Li Chen didn't say anything about it.He just smiled lightly, raised his eyebrows condescendingly and looked at Saenz: "At least I'm much better than you, at least I'm still sitting, I can stand and walk."

Saenz stretched out his left hand on the inside of the bed: "Really? Then use your right hand to exert strength."

Li Chen couldn't care about the injured person, so he had to stretch out his right hand to hold it.He was sitting on the right side of Saenz, and he wanted to hold it, but he could only lean over slightly above Saenz.

As soon as his fingers touched Saenz, Saenz opened and closed his hands, interlocking his fingers.

Li Chen: "...!"

It was too late to break free, and Saenz squeezed his hand tightly: "This is called recovery? Is this strength?"

Li Chen's right hand was indeed unable to use his strength, but he still insisted: "I just saw you get hurt, so let you...Wow!"

Before he finished speaking, the huge force from his hand pulled him down, and Saenz held him and rolled over, directly pressing him onto the bed.

"Look at my injury, huh?" Saenz put his right hand on Li Chen's side, and his left hand still clasped his fingers together. It was his turn to be condescending, "This is your current fighting strength? You can't even handle a wounded person." ?”

Li Chen stared at him, trying to struggle: "I'm just not ready...!"

"Really? But don't you have a chance to prepare every time?" Saenz lowered a little more, his breath on Lichen's face, "I advise you not to touch me, the doctor said my right The calf cannot bear the force."

Li Chen froze, feeling like a prey being watched by a hunter: "Calm down..."

"Calm down? How do you tell me to be calm?" Saenz glanced across his face, and there seemed to be an undercurrent in the depths of his eyes, "You were seriously injured to save my mother, the magic source, right hand... you know I don’t know, I was going crazy at the time?”

Li Chen didn't know whether he should speak at this time, he opened his mouth subconsciously, and made a soft breath: "I..."

"You still dare to write to me saying that you are fine, this is your 'fine'!" Saenz exerted force on his left hand again, but the held right hand really couldn't return more force , "How dare you just come overseas like this! In this state, you may die hundreds of times!"

"But you're still here... You don't know, I've actually encountered such a scene before.

"I was injured during the battle, and when I woke up, there was a bouquet of flowers in the room.

"You came to see me with flowers to comfort me. But you yourself were scarred and tired, but you told me that you were fine.

"You don't know what it means to me to see you at this time."

After the words fell, Saenz's lips also fell.
