At the beginning of landing on the island, in order to solve the dark plague, Shiloh personally led people to go deep underground along the lizard people's passage. Although the ground was not explored, the entire Hope Island was so big, how could it possibly hide so many lizards?
people.
Besides, if there really were a lot of lizardmen underground, why didn't they rush out the next night and wipe out all of Shiloh's group? They had to wait until nearly a year before they started.
At that time, Hilo had only knights and sailors around him. Compared with now, his strength was completely different. There were nearly ten thousand lizardmen. Squeezing Hilo to death was as easy as squeezing a fly to death.
The only reason why they didn't take action was that there weren't so many lizardmen underground at that time.
How did nearly ten thousand lizardmen come into being in just one year? They couldn't be born one by one.
Lizardmen are not goblins, so they can't have children so easily.
Could it be that they have wings and fly from other places at night?
Shiloh lay on the bed and tossed and turned, no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure out how these lizard men appeared.
I don't know how long it took, but a deep sleepiness came over me. Finally, Shiloh couldn't hold on any longer, so she got dressed and fell asleep.
A dreamless night.
The next day, Shiloh was awakened by the sound of movement around him.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a slim figure in front of him busy in the room, arranging the clothes in the room for him.
Shiloh was a little confused, thinking that some servant came to prepare face wash and breakfast for him, so he didn't say anything and wanted to lie down for a while, but as he looked at it, he felt more and more something was wrong. The man's back was slender and slender, and there was nothing like hope.
Those rich and rough peasant women on the island.
I saw that the man rolled up his sleeves, revealing his forearms as white as jade. He was wearing simple clothes, and a piece of linen was tied on his head. His long black hair was entangled, and his hair hung down on the man's face.
The sunshine looks so warm and beautiful.
Shiloh's eyes widened and he finally realized that the person who was busy in his room was none other than Claire!
Claire was only a teenager, her body had just grown, she was in her prime, and she exuded a sense of youthful vitality. The smell of cigarette ash in the room had dissipated, and instead there was a faint fragrance, which made Shiloh
Somewhat distracted.
It's early in the morning now, so Shiloh's good brother can't hold himself any longer.
At this time, the room has been tidied up. Shiloh usually doesn't like others to enter his room, so the servants will tidy up the room after Shiloh gets up. At night, Shiloh will put the books he has read into
The late-night snacks eaten and the clothes taken off were thrown around, making the room a mess, and now Claire has sorted it all out.
The clothes were neatly folded and placed in the closet. The opened books were carefully bookmarked and placed in the bookcase. The tablecloth on the table was replaced with a new one, and today's breakfast was placed on it.
, water was also placed in the tub, and soft towels were folded squarely and placed on the edge of the tub.
Claire, on the other hand, was carefully placing a pot of flowers on the window sill, changing their positions, as if she was thinking about how to place them best.
Shiloh was a little at a loss, and all that flashed through his mind were strange words such as three years of bloody profit, death penalty, etc.
This, this, this...am I going to be worse than a beast today?!
While she was thinking wildly, Claire finally finished playing with the flowers. When she turned around, their eyes met.
There was a bang, and Claire's face immediately turned red. She originally planned to get everything done while Shiloh was sleeping and then leave quietly, but she didn't expect that Shiloh would see everything.
"Your Highness, good morning."
Lowering her head in embarrassment, Claire first hid her hands behind her back, but then felt that this was very inappropriate, so she hurriedly put her hands in front of her, thought about it, and then took off the linen strips on her head, looking a little at a loss.
Damn, she is indeed a beautiful girl.
Seeing Claire's movements, Shiloh sighed for no reason in his heart. He glanced at her twice more before he realized that his gaze seemed too greedy. He coughed hurriedly and got up from the bed.
"Well...morning, Claire, why are you in my room?"
"I came to prepare breakfast for His Highness. I saw that the room was a little messy, so I tidied it up myself."
Shiloh nodded and wanted to get a new set of clothes to change into. Claire hurriedly took out a set of clothes, hugged it to her chest and said: "Your Highness, let me dress you up."
Shiloh's eyes couldn't help but stay on Claire's chest... Well, this dress is good for development.
Claire's body trembled slightly as if she felt Shiloh's gaze. Ever since she was rescued by Shiloh, she had always wanted to repay Shiloh. However, as a civilian, she couldn't find anything besides Shiloh in her clothes.
There is no other way.
As long as His Highness doesn't dislike her humble background.
Thinking like this, Claire plucked up the courage and wanted to change Shiloh's clothes.
Shiloh was startled. Appreciating beautiful girls is not a big problem. If he really takes advantage of it, it would be a big sin. He hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I will do it by myself. You can go out first."
Claire stiffened, bit her lip, and finally put her clothes on the stool obediently, and walked out of the door obediently. When she reached the door, she finally plucked up the courage and asked, "Your Highness, can I still do it in the future?"
Clothes for you?”
Shiloh subconsciously wanted to shake his head. If he really let this girl stay by his side, maybe one day he would really be worse than a beast. She is not an adult yet!
However, when the words of rejection came to her lips, after seeing Claire's hopeful and worried eyes, Shiloh finally couldn't bear to reject this beautiful girl, and finally nodded gently.
After getting Shiloh's permission, Claire was visibly relieved, smiled happily, bowed and turned around to leave. As a result, she accidentally hit her head on the door, making a muffled sound.
Shiloh couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter. Claire covered her reddish forehead, opened the door and ran out in shame.
After this episode of getting up early, Shiloh's mood became extremely smooth, and even the irritability caused by Joel's old lunatic was gone. He changed clothes, washed up, and after breakfast, he was as before
, came to the study room.
As soon as he opened the door, Shiloh was surprised to find a burly man with a red nose and beard standing inside. He was standing in the middle of the study at a loss. As soon as he saw Shiloh, he immediately fell to his knees.
"Your Highness, my subordinate's name is Maimaiti. He belongs to the desert mercenaries and is the captain of the leader Mahmoud... Late last night, the captain woke up!"
Shiloh was surprised at first as to why there was an unknown person in his study, but when he heard that Mahmoud had woken up, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said eagerly: "You just woke up last night? Why didn't you inform me immediately!"
Maimaiti touched his head and said: "Your Highness, there is a girl who is blocking me and refusing to let me go up. She said that you have just gone through a big battle and are exhausted, so your subordinates are waiting here and don't dare to go up.
Any offense."
Shiloh was stunned, and immediately realized that the girl Maimaiti was talking about was Claire. He was slightly grateful for this girl's attentiveness. He was indeed worried last night, and he didn't know when he fell asleep.
"You've worked hard after waiting all night. Go down and rest first. I'm going to see Mahmoud right now."
Shiloh could no longer care about anything else at this time and jogged all the way to Mahmoud's residence. The reason why he was so anxious was precisely because Mahmoud had led people underground before and was the only one who knew the details of the lizard people.
.
Since Mahmoud was injured, he has been living in a separate residence under the care of a specialized medical officer. The reason why he was in a coma for so long was because when he was escaping, he was attacked by a lizard man's long-range weapon - that kind of
He was shot by a strange snake arrow and bitten by a poisonous Takia snake. The venom flowed out of his body, causing him to become comatose.
It has to be said that Mahmoud's physique is also extremely strong. Even though there is healing water in Stormwind City that can remove toxins, it is already remarkable that he can insist on returning to Stormwind City without dying of poison immediately.
It was precisely because of this that he was in a coma for half a month.
But now, he finally wakes up, which means that Shiloh is finally no longer in a blind spot in the war with the lizard people.
Rushing to Mahmoud's room, Shiloh happened to see Mahmoud taking medicine. This strong man had lost weight, his face was as golden as paper, and he showed obvious fatigue after recovering from a serious illness.
When Mahmoud saw Shiloh, he wanted to stand up and salute, but Shiloh immediately pushed him back.
"Don't move. Just lie down and recover. These days, it's thanks to you that Stormwind City has been saved. I want to thank you."
When Mahmoud heard Shiloh's words, he shook his head quickly and said in a hoarse and weak voice: "My subordinates have failed in protecting Stormwind City and have committed a crime of neglect of duty. How dare you take credit for it? If His Highness hadn't returned in time to defeat the Lizard,
Man, I'm probably dead on this bed now."
Shiloh saw that although Mahmoud was obviously weak in every aspect, he could speak clearly and think smoothly, so he knew that he was out of danger. He pulled a stool to sit in front of the bed and said: "Okay, okay, let's go
Stop flattering each other... Mahmoud, I came to you this time to ask you something important. What did you find when you dived underground? How many other lizard men are there underground?"
Mahmoud knew that this was a matter of life and death, so he took a slow breath and finally revealed his findings slowly.
It turned out that Mahmoud and his men went underground that day and discovered that a series of underground passages extending in all directions had been dug out by the lizard men under Hope Island. Each section of the tunnel was connected to a cave, and a large group of people lived densely inside.
There are at least hundreds of lizardmen, and there are at least close to a hundred such caves.
These lizardmen were most awake at night, but would become extremely tired in the early morning. Mahmoud and the others smeared lizardman feces on their bodies and sneaked in quietly in the early morning, and then slowly reached the depths of the ground.
Deep underground, there is a huge cave with hundreds of small caves. Countless lizardmen are entrenched in them. What is surprising is that these lizardmen actually built a huge new cave in the center of the cave.
The altar was filled with lizard-man corpses, and all the blood was released. It seemed that some strange ritual was being performed, and the scene was extremely bloody.
Above the altar, there was a stone coffin tied up with a large number of black iron chains. The coffin was extremely strange, emitting an extremely rich bright yellow gas, which made your head feel dizzy even if you took a single breath.
Under the coffin, about 1 meter away from the altar, countless blood energy formed an extremely complex magic circle, rising and falling slowly. Mahmoud saw with his own eyes that when the magic circle emitted a bright light, it rose and fell.
At one time, nearly a hundred lizardmen would come out of the magic circle.
"This is the teleportation magic circle!"
Shiloh was shocked. Teleportation magic was extremely complicated and required a huge amount of magic power. Very few magicians would use teleportation magic to travel. Even extraordinary magicians could teleport up to nearly a hundred people with one use of teleportation magic. It can be said that
Magic has very little practicality. Except for countries, almost no one will use teleportation magic to carry out commercial and military activities.
But these lizardmen have actually been able to use teleportation magic to transport troops. No wonder there will suddenly be so many lizardmen on the island.
Feelings are transmitted from somewhere else.
If Shiloh can snatch this teleportation magic circle and figure out its working principle, then in the future, there will be no need to use merchant ships to exchange supplies between islands. As long as a teleportation magic circle is arranged in advance, it can be done.
It simply greatly increased the construction and development speed of Stormwind City.
Thinking of this, Shiloh couldn't help but swallowed his saliva. He wished he could activate the art of war now and attack the ground in a mighty manner.
Teleportation magic circle! I'm here!
Seeing Shiloh's somewhat absent-minded look, Mahmoud clearly guessed what Shiloh was thinking. He braced himself and said: "Your Highness, the teleportation magic circle is indeed the most exquisite magic circle I have ever seen in my life. However,
I see that those lizardmen who want to activate this magic circle seem to consume the lives of a large number of slaves and use their blood to support the operation of the magic circle. It is precisely because of this that we lurked and observed in the dark for more than an hour.
I only saw the teleportation magic circle being activated once."
Hearing these words, the enthusiasm in Shiloh's heart was undoubtedly completely extinguished by the cold water in front of him. He calmed down and discovered the loopholes. If the teleportation magic circle can take effect at any time, how could the lizard man do it?
Pulling over more than 10,000 soldiers, the more soldiers the better.
Just when he was regretting that he finally came across a treasure but couldn't use it, Shiloh suddenly thought of another key point in Mahmoud's words.
His expression suddenly became strange, and he stared at Mahmoud and asked, "Mahmoud, you said before that there was a coffin locked with iron chains on the altar?"
Mahmoud nodded and recalled, "Yes, it's a coffin. It's made of stone. It's quite huge. I don't know what the secret is inside."
Listening to Mahmoud's statement, Shiloh couldn't help but think of the coffin found in the dwarf's underground city, in which a sacrificial body was buried.
Could it be said that there is such a sacrificial body underground on Hope Island?!
