Monri.

Etta wiped the blood from her mouth with the back of her hand and smiled at her brother across from her: "You lose, Esparo." As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed violently and vomited a few more mouthfuls of blood.

Esparo slowly propped up his body that was about to fall apart in pain, and his red eyes shot out a malicious look: "Dream! You are the loser!" As soon as he waved his hand, the monsters that were raging around him roared back and turned towards them. Coming in the direction of Etta.

There was no fear on Etta's face. He just took a few more glances at his companions who had already suffered misfortune, then took out a palm-long tube from his arms, coughed a few times, and bit off the tube with his teeth. Guy, ignoring the sparks that burned his face, smiled confidently at Esparo, and raised the mouth of the barrel to the sky. Signal fireworks erupted from the tube, and a red flower flashed in the dusk sky.

Esparo's eyes narrowed: "What are you doing?!"

"Of course it's a message, stupid brother." The smile on Etta's face grew bigger and bigger, making Esparo's uneasy feeling even stronger.

Ten kilometers away in Nojia territory, the long-awaited human army had already seen the red flower in the sky. Soldiers immediately reported to Duke Jedda of Nojia: "It has been confirmed that all the monsters have entered Mengli, and most of them are standing there. In the magic circle."

Minister Weisha who was next to him immediately turned to the monks of Vana: "Let's do it!" The representative of the monks hesitated: "The warriors who lured the enemy have not escaped yet..." "They expected to die before they went, so do it quickly! "The Weisha people kept urging, and the monks all turned their attention to Jedda, waiting for him who had always played the role of leader to give the final order.

Jada looked at Mengli in the distance again with a complicated expression. Take a deep breath. He nodded heavily. The monks immediately turned around and took action. After a while, tens of thousands of silver lights shot out in the direction of Mengli, shooting straight into the sky.

But at this time, the two people in Mengli had completely different reactions. Etta smiled more and more happily. Esparo cursed loudly, and his reason told him that he must leave immediately. The silver light from the strange magic circle on the ground made him feel very uncomfortable, and the monsters around him. He became even more restless and made a sound similar to a scream.

Esparo turned around and left, but unexpectedly Etta rushed over and hugged his legs tightly. He tried desperately to break away, but Etta showed him a ferocious smile: "Dear brother, for the glory of Heda . Let’s go to hell together!”

Esparo was shocked. Subconsciously he stabbed him with a dagger. But suddenly I felt a pain in my body. His limbs seemed to be pulled by something. My body is almost no longer my own. Couldn't help but scream. It is the dividing line for switching scenes.

Van A. The Temple of Light in the center of the Central Holy See.

A monk in charge of supervision suddenly shouted loudly: "Mengli has launched!" The crowd trembled. The bishop with the highest status immediately turned to the other supervisors: "Be prepared. We want..."

"Anchor City is also activated!" before he could finish. Another monk spoke up. The bishop immediately ordered: "Act as planned!"

Everyone ended their prayers. Return to your post and be ready. Soon. The magic circle symbolizing Water City also reacted. Everyone excitedly carried out the Scepter of Light, which had been soaked in the Fountain of Life and had restored its mana. Six bishops stood on the central magic circle. Hold the staff together. Get ready for the final step.

At this time. But a disappointing voice sounded: "Xiko hasn't started yet. What happened?"

Alex, who was assigned to guard the door, immediately walked to Xiko's magic circle after hearing this. When he saw that there was no reaction from above, he couldn't help but frowned and suppressed the worry in his heart.

"Isn't it said that the warriors in Xike are the strongest? We and Shaonan have sent people to help, why haven't we started yet so late?"

"If they fail, all our efforts will be in vain! If we had known, we wouldn't have believed what they said. It would be better to send a few more people."

"That's right, they are always not as good at dealing with creatures from the demonic realm as we are."

"Or maybe someone has tampered with the defense there?"

Whispers continued, Alex hid the resentment in his heart, and solemnly saluted several bishops: "Please rest assured, bishops, Xi Ke's defense was personally arranged by His Excellency Bishop Jacob, there can be no problems . It’s probably just a slight deviation in time.”

Jacob straightened his body, glanced around coldly, and the discussion immediately disappeared. The bishop with the highest status rolled his eyes and glanced around, then nodded slightly: "Then let's wait calmly for the final signal."

Alex bowed deeply and returned to where he originally stood. Looking at the Xiko formation that was motionless at all, he couldn't help but worry: What happened there? Return to the dividing line of the original scene

Minte leaned against the broken wall and gasped for air, barely able to steady his body. His right hand was bloody, tired and painful, and he could hardly lift it. The wand on his left hand emitted a few streaks of silver gas, and then stopped responding. , he knew that his magic power was probably going to be exhausted.

He walked slowly back against the wall, staring directly at the monster less than twenty meters away from him, chanting a prayer of light in a hoarse voice. The monsters seemed to be intimidated by the power of the Light Prayer and did not dare to step forward, but as his magic power faded, they began to get ready to move.

When Minte saw a magical beast take two steps towards him, he knew that the prayer of light was no longer effective, and the falling of night enhanced the power of the magical beasts. He smiled bitterly and backed away, but felt his back hit a wall. Could it be that he couldn't escape

Suddenly there was a dazzling red light shooting into the sky not far away, which meant that a companion had sent a signal. Under the red light, he vaguely saw a figure standing on the roof of the building. He looks like his father. My heart was suddenly filled with joy.

Dad is still alive! Mom will be very happy, right

Silver light emerged from the ground, and the monsters roared, as if they had a premonition of something, and wanted to retreat outwards. Arrows falling from the sky blocked their footsteps, and they roared, smashed, and hissed angrily. One of them turned his eyes to Minte and rushed over with eyes wide open.

Minte wanted to run away, but he had no strength left in his body, but he was about to win. How could he be willing to die under the claws of the monsters and become a victim of their anger? !

He struggled back. But I felt a doorknob behind me. It was the door! He quickly twisted it open, dodged in as fast as he could, and closed the door tightly before the monster's claws came down.

He closed his eyes tightly, waiting for the door to be smashed open by the monster. But the sound never came. I couldn't even feel the slightest vibration outside. He was secretly happy, maybe the magic circle had already worked. Destroyed the monster? !

He looked out through the crack in the door, only to find that there were still monsters running around outside. I hurriedly looked for my father, but couldn't see anything. I can only comfort myself in my heart. My father has climbed high enough, and those monsters will not be able to climb up for a while.

The pain in his body came one after another, and he gritted his teeth, but a small moan still leaked out. He turned around and looked at the house he was in, trying to find something helpful. However, after seeing the situation inside the house clearly, he was stunned.

This place is no different from an ordinary room, with cupboards, tables and chairs, and a big clock in the corner. The only thing unusual is that there are five doors on the wall on the side where he is, and before he came in just now, he clearly remembered There are no other doors or windows on the wall next to it!

The memory deep in his mind suddenly emerged. If what he thought was correct, then after opening the door on the opposite side, what was outside was...

Min Te forcibly controlled his trembling legs and steered them toward the door. He held the door handle, took a deep breath, and pulled it open.

Looking at the crooked corridors and stairs outside, he suddenly felt like crying. He grabbed the door frame tightly with his hands, moved his body outward, and shouted as loudly as possible in a hoarse voice: "Grandpa Senet... plug..."

There was a familiar figure standing at the top of the stairs, with a frown on his beautiful face and the same cold voice: "Who are you?!"

Minte felt relieved and sat down softly leaning against the door: "Keith..." Then his eyesight went dark and he didn't know anything anymore.

When I woke up again, it was already night. He seemed to be sleeping in a small room where he had stayed before. When he moved his head, he saw the person sitting beside the bed: "Keith..." The voice had changed back to that of a girl. She couldn't help but be startled. The effect of the medicine would not wait until tomorrow. Have you passed

"Are you awake?" Keith reached out to touch her forehead expressionlessly, "You have been unconscious for three and a half days, but you were injured so badly, this time is considered normal."

Three and a half days? ! Minna blinked. Has it been so long? She was suddenly a little anxious. Her father didn't know the news about her yet, so he must be very anxious, right

She struggled to get up, but she felt that every part of her body was in pain. She couldn't help but whine, but her mouth was blocked by a cup of concoction that Keith handed over.

Holding back the feeling of nausea and drinking the potion, she looked up and looked around: "Where is Grandpa Senet? Are you doing experiments?" If she asks the old magician for help, he will have a way to make a potion that can make her heal instantly. Bar

But Keith's words poured cold water on her: "Master went back to Shaonan to fight and won't be back for a while. He had prepared these medicines before." He picked up the cup and walked out: "You should have a good rest for a few days. , I will tell him when he comes back."

Minna sighed in frustration. She knew that such a big thing happened. As a great magician, how could Grandpa Senet not get involved? But when will she wait

While she was complaining, a wave of sleepiness came over her, and she suddenly remembered that the potion she just drank seemed to contain sleeping ingredients. Could it be that she couldn't even prepare the medicine for herself? do not…

Before she could think more, the darkness dragged her into sleep.

She was sleeping and waking up, and she didn't know how many days had passed, but the injuries on her body were gradually getting better, except for the part where the monster scratched her right hand. The injury was serious. Fortunately, Alex had given her a small bottle of the Fountain of Life before. That's how I saved the hand. But it's still numb now. He couldn't use any strength, and the magic power was restored extremely slowly. Keith didn't allow her to leave the room, let alone go upstairs. Weak and helpless, she could only eagerly look forward to the old magician's return.

Perhaps hearing her call, on the seventh day after she arrived here, Senet walked downstairs dusty. As soon as he heard Keith's report, he immediately put aside all his fatigue, rushed into the small room, stared directly at Minna, and said "Wow".

Minna decided to ignore the other party's emerald green beard and shouted: "Grandpa Senet. You are back. I have been waiting for you for many days!"

"It's so big..." Senet muttered twice, then took out his wand to check her, and touched the scars on her hands and feet, feeling a little distressed: "Poor child, you suffered. Well done. As expected. Your grandfather’s little Mingna.”

Ming Na felt a little happy and smiled sweetly. Pointing to her right arm, she said: "Here, I was scratched by the monster's claws. There was a lot of blood, and I washed it with the fountain of life. The toxins are gone, but I don't seem to have any strength." She moved herself Diji: "I don't seem to have much strength..."

"That's because you were injured too badly!" Sennet sighed, feeling a little troubled, "Xiao Mingna, you are not in good health. You need to take a good rest and stop doing dangerous things for the time being."

Minna blinked, temporarily? How long was that

Shaonan's chief potion master's skills were not guaranteed. Within two days, Mingna was already able to get out of bed and move around. She could no longer hold back, and after receiving a lot of potions from Senet and giving instructions for half an hour, she finally opened the door she came in with the help of his spells, and stood in front of Xi Ke again. On the ground.

In Xi'an under the sunshine, the ice and snow have melted. Residents from the evacuees returned to their homes, searching for items that were still intact and removing damaged wall tiles, planning to rebuild a home on the original site.

Ming Na walked slowly on the street. There were many people like her wandering around, so she didn't attract anyone's attention. She looked left and right and walked through the crowd to the central area. She saw that the white magic circle on the ground was almost invisible under the trampling of people. There was no black or gray at all on the ground, and no trace of the existence of the Warcraft could be seen at all.

"Ming Na!" A voice shouted from behind. She turned her head and saw that it was Alex, feeling a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

Alex rushed over, grabbed her arms tightly, looked up and down, front and back, stretched out his hand to touch her face, but quickly took it back, his face had returned to calm: " I thought you were dead, but I didn't expect you to be quite lucky." He looked at her and whispered, "Since it's okay, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Ming Na giggled and scratched her head: "I accidentally escaped to the house of a great magician I knew when I was a child. I was seriously injured at that time, and the grandfather was not at home, so I had to wait until he came back to heal me. I was injured, so I came back immediately." She looked around: "Where is my father? By the way, aren't you in Fan'a? Why are you here?"

Alex coughed uncomfortably: "Come and take a look... By the way, your father is still in the military camp outside the city. He has always believed that you are still alive and said that you will not abandon your parents."

Ming Na smiled: "Of course I won't. Do you know where he is? Take me there quickly!"

Alex gently helped her up: "Didn't you say the injury was serious? Be careful. Look how pale your face is!" He stretched out his hand to fend off pedestrians and protected her as she walked toward the South District.

"I'm fine, but my magic power hasn't recovered yet..." Mingna stopped and looked at the blood stains on the roof of the house in front of her that had not yet been eliminated, "Vasily... you know the person who lured the enemy with my father and me... how about it?" Yet?"

"Originally, your father was the only survivor, and even you were included in the list of martyrs." Alex said softly, "The funeral was held the day before yesterday, and the red cloak that Mint dropped served as his stand-in. Listen. He said that the remains of the martyrs of the Security Agency will be sent back to Ito for burial. After returning, I will accompany you to visit them."

Ming Na held back tears, nodded, pulled him forward, and after a while, stopped again.

Jada stood in front of a wall, staring at the blood stains on the wall with some disappointment. She bent down and picked up a red stone, thoughtfully.

"Strange, why is he here too?" Ming Na was confused.

Alex whispered, "Who is he?"

"Duke Jedda of Nogar, I used to work as a spy for him for a few months, as I mentioned last time."

"Oh..." Alex looked at Jada for a few seconds and then asked Mingna, "Do you want to tell him that you are still alive? That seems to be the place where you died. Is he pregnant with you?"

"Huh?" Ming Na checked it carefully, and sure enough, that wall was really the last place he stayed that day.

At this time, someone approached Jada and asked respectfully: "Are you mourning your friend? I heard that the person who died here was a very brave man."

Jada said calmly: "No, he is not my friend, but my enemy." Seeing the man's stunned look, he smiled mockingly, and added in a voice that could only be heard by himself: " The enemy I consider a friend..."

But Mingna only heard what he said before, and she turned to Alex angrily: "Let's go, there is no need to let him know that the enemy is still alive!"

Alex smiled, took off his cloak and put it on her: "The wind is too strong, be careful of catching a cold." Then he helped her and walked forward.
