Throne Steps

Chapter 135 The Mirror in the Tree

"Your Highness, please retreat first!"

Saenz's guards came over, embarrassed and excited, with a tyrannical vindictiveness.Saenz came back to his senses, and the noisy environment spread out in his senses, the sound of soldiers fighting, the light of the magic fighting, and even the staff in his hand surged with manic power.

Saenz heard his own voice, hoarse and dignified: "Where are the reinforcements?"

"I don't know, we are surrounded, the news can't get out, and can't get in." The guard anxiously wanted to pull him back, "The protective formation has been broken, please retreat into the valley!"

The light of the fire and the magic circle reflected on people's bodies. Everyone's armor and cloth robes were severely damaged, but powerful power still burst out from these people.The overwhelming movement of the firefight almost lit up the night sky and shook the ground, shaking the soil with terrible magic force, and the nearby warriors were almost unable to stand still.

Saenz's staff fell to the ground, and the shaking stopped immediately, and he raised the staff again: "You can't hold it!"

The guard almost shouted: "Your Highness!"

A huge and dazzling magic circle suddenly came down from the sky, and it would be attacked by its coercion a hundred meters away.Saenz held up his staff—the magicians around him waved their staffs regardless of supporting the defensive camp—dozens of rays of light rushed towards the rotating formation, like an arrow smashing a mirror, the formation It burst in the blink of an eye, and the fragments turned into bits of streamer and galloped towards it with inertia!

The mages tried their best to restore the protective shields, but many people were still hit hard by the arrows.

The barrier supported by Saenz was the fastest, otherwise the casualties would be even more severe, although it seems to be very dangerous now.

The closest guards fell one by one beside Saenz, and it was unclear whether they were seriously injured or dead, and no one had time to treat them and recuperate.Those who are still standing can see that it is the end of their strength, and the magic crystal on the top of the staff has dimmed. The magician even drew his long sword and rushed towards the bright fire like a warrior.

Things aren't looking good for Saenz either.

He knew that his leg was injured, but he couldn't feel the severity when his magic power was almost exhausted.The magic crystal at the top of the staff flickers on and off, and this priceless stone is about to lose its use.

"Let's go, Your Highness!" Jin Wei used his big sword to block the attack flying in from the gap, and his fighting spirit almost burned the arrow, "Please teleport!"

Teleport, yes, teleport.However, Saenz looked around, unable to move.Up to now, the teleportation array can only transfer up to three people at a time, and the existing square crystals are not enough to support everyone's escape.

This is not a mercenary squad with only a dozen people, but a barracks he is in charge of alone.Even if it is just a garrison point, there are hundreds of people, and it is impossible to take everyone away.

Escape by yourself, and let these hundreds of people be wiped out without their leader?He can't do it.

His personal guards only put his safety first, even if he was unwilling to leave, the guards wanted to drag him to a safer depth.

Saenz has no feeling in his right leg, but he is still standing: "How long will the reinforcements be?"

The guard could no longer hear Saenz's words clearly. He seemed to understand that Saenz's leg was seriously injured, and planned to carry Saenz away.

At this moment, a burst of spherical light suddenly exploded high in the distant sky, accompanied by a loud and screaming sound.

The people near Saenz cheered, because this was the signal of the arrival of reinforcements.

A figure rushed from the periphery, it was Saenz's guard captain.Standing ten steps away from Saenz, he yelled loudly: "The middle management and I will place the bombs, and the others will keep their strength and hide!"

Not only the middle-level people, as long as they still have magic power or fighting spirit, they all ran away with the captain of the guards.Positioning bombs represent the target to be rescued, and they are also the best target for the enemy. If they fail to defend, the entire garrison will be destroyed before reinforcements come in.

This seemed to be the moment when the last words should be left, but everyone rushed out without looking back.Saenz was picked up by the two guards around him and ran towards the camp in the opposite direction. His magic power was still supporting the nearby barrier, but he was so weak that he could hardly even hold his staff.

His silver pupils stared into the distance, and the people who were closest to him in the past, the people who held the pledge of allegiance, were rushing towards the fire.

Boom——

The locating signal flare flashed in the air, and countless magic and sword energy gathered at the source of the signal flare, and it exploded with a bang, as if the land would collapse in the next second.

The huge surge of power shattered the protection that Saenz was struggling to support. There was a buzz in his mind, and the staff slipped from his hand.

Saenz woke up from the darkness.

Above the head is a light-colored bed curtain, not luxurious, but clean and tidy.Saenz closed his eyes again to calm down a little. The sequelae of the fierce battle came from the nerve endings of his whole body, making people feel that waking up may not be a good thing.

Tired, aching, drained of mana.

Saenz remembered the injury to his right leg, but he couldn't sit up immediately, so he had to move a little.The good news is that under the cover of other feelings, the right leg does not seem to be particularly painful. The bad news is that if there is no pain, there is another bad possibility.

Maybe the right leg has been disabled, so I don't know anything.

Saenz can't remember why this happened, but he doesn't think there's anything unusual about it.There is a faint feeling in his heart: now he can let go of his emotions a little bit, and there is no need to deeply suppress them.

Even so, Saenz just sighed in a low voice, and stretched out his hand to grab a sling tied with a brass bell beside the bed.There are a lot of things waiting to be dealt with, and now is really not the time to feel sorry for yourself.

The copper bell jingled twice, and the butler came in.After all, he was too old to go to the battlefield, but even so, his expression still showed deep fatigue.

After all, the housekeeper is the person who has been around Saenz for the longest time. Saenz took care of his situation first, and then asked about the current situation.

"How long have I slept?"

"Two days and three nights."

Saenz's heart skipped a beat. Two days and three nights are really enough to do a lot of things.He asked a few important questions first, and after getting a detailed answer from the housekeeper, he settled down a bit, and asked about the casualties in detail.

Even though Saenz was prepared, he was still speechless for a while when he heard the answer.The wounded can still be saved, but there are a few of the dead who are closest to him.Especially the chief guard, who has been with him for many years, and sometimes the two of them can get along as brothers.On a night full of flames, the appearance of the head of the guard leading the crowd to place the bombs was actually the last time Saenz saw him.

Feeling suffocated for a while, Saenz closed his eyes and opened his mouth to ask, but the butler started asking if he wanted a therapist to come in and take a look.

In the current situation of Saenz, in fact, the previous conversation has been too exhausting.It's just that he is too much beyond ordinary people, and the housekeeper is not easy to disobey easily, so he interrupted him during the pause.Even though Saenz was still full of doubts, he was quite clear about his physical condition, so he had to treat the illness first.

Therapists are quite busy these days, but Saenz must not delay.The butler summoned them as soon as the copper bell rang, and they were already waiting at the door. As soon as the butler opened the door, they came in to treat Saenz without any delay.

The three therapists had different directions of treatment. After some consultations, one of them looked at the butler, as if he had something to say.

Saenz sneered: "Don't be shy, just say it."

The therapist looked at his companion, then turned back to Saenz.

"The magic power in your Highness is exhausted, but the source of magic power is normal. As long as you take a good rest, you will be able to replenish your magic power again in time. We have treated the internal injuries affected by battle qi and magic several times before, and they are now recovering well. Wait for His Highness's magic power to run smoothly. It's easy to fully recover..." The therapist first rambled on for a while, which didn't sound like bad news, but Saenz knew in his heart that it was just a foreshadowing.

The therapist paused for a moment, and when he spoke again, it really wasn't good news: "However, His Highness's right leg...was not treated in time when it was injured, and it was oppressed for a long time, which led to..."

Saenz knew that this was still nonsense, so he interrupted: "Say it directly, can you please?"

The therapists looked at each other, bowed their heads and said, "...our abilities are really limited."

This is Saenz's close therapist, there is really no need to play tricks with Saenz.Even though Saenz was already prepared, his heart sank when he heard this answer.

Mentally and mentally exhausted, he really didn't want to spend any more effort on the surface.He closed his eyes, and the butler took the opportunity to wink at the therapists, who immediately retreated quietly.

Saenz said, "You go out too."

The butler nodded: "I'll go and prepare nutritional supplements for you."

Because of the leg injury, Saenz was bedridden for several days.

Sometimes the housekeeper would help him sit up, drink some nutritional supplements or deal with some documents, and sometimes he could lie down for a whole day.Except for the housekeeper and the healer, no one enters this room anymore.

In fact, Saenz’s behavior was normal, but the housekeeper had seen him many times and was keenly aware of his negative emotions, so he minimized the things that would disturb his recuperation.

On the third day, the number of people who came to express their willingness to visit was close to double digits.The butler thought for a while, and dismissed people from other forces, leaving only the standard Saenz lineage, and then tried to convey it to Saenz.

His Highness the Third Highness was also very straightforward: "I don't see you."

The housekeeper responded, and said, "The intelligence department and the Ainuma Temple are also here."

Saenz rolled his eyelids: "Sean? Wiggins?"

"Director Wiggins is here, but Sean is not here."

Saenz turned a page of information: "Not seen."

The housekeeper once again gave everyone a negative answer.Saenz's cronies understood quite well, the battle was horrific and His Royal Highness was seriously injured, they were too embarrassed to bother him with work, and they only said they were here to visit the sick.It's not convenient now, so forget it.

The people from the intelligence department are Sean's special envoys, and they simply asked about the situation after receiving Sean's voice transmission from thousands of miles away.He didn't dare to cheat Saenz like Xiao En did, so he silently retreated after listening to the housekeeper's words.

Only Wiggins, not moving at all, stared at the butler and asked, "How is your Highness doing?"

Where did the housekeeper tell him the real situation, and replied in a general way: "It's much better, please don't worry."

Wiggins approached and said, "How can I not be worried? I will only talk to him about praying for the casualties, and it won't be long."

The butler lowered his eyes and replied: "Your Highness is mentally weak, it is really inconvenient now. I will definitely convey your matters, please go back."

Wiggins entangled with the butler for a while, but he really had no chance of winning, so he left.Before leaving, he asked the housekeeper to pay attention, as long as he could visit, he must be notified.

The butler sent everyone away, and returned to Saenz's room to report.Saenz was about to solve his physical problems, so he supported his body and slowly moved to the side of the bed, ready to grab the crutches placed beside the bed.The housekeeper took a few steps to help, but was stopped by Saenz.

"I've got to get used to it."

Saenz's tone was cold, and he sat on the edge of the bed with his right leg stretched.Although the body is still weak, it is still a trivial matter to move one leg with one hand.It's just that the long hair was really in the way, so Saenz grabbed a rope and tied it up behind his head in a simple and rough way.

His walking around the room was really slow, the housekeeper didn't dare to approach him to help him, and just stood there watching.A full-length mirror was placed by the wall, faithfully reflecting a slow-moving figure.

ugly.Saenz stared at himself in the mirror, his eyes became colder——

Seeing people in such an embarrassing posture, is it because you want to pity others?
