When Margaret saw Zhao Hai receive his undead, she couldn't help but feel relieved. She was now sure that Zhao Hai didn't kill people and turn them into undead when he was in the lower realm. Just looking at how smoothly he did it, she knew that he wasn't the type of person who killed people and turned them into undead.
After Zhao Hai received his undead, Margaret turned her head to look at Zhao Hai. It was clear that she was waiting for Zhao Hai to speak. Zhao Hai looked at Margaret and said, "Teacher, I just heard that they sent a total of 100 people this time. 80 of them came to kill us while the remaining 20 went to the reception area. Can the people there hold on until we return?"
When Margaret heard Zhao Hai, her expression couldn't help but change. Then she said, "The reception area has some defensive forces. If the other party were only 3rd or 4th rank Mages, then I'm afraid it would be very difficult to defend against them. However, Simpson is there. Although Simpson's strength isn't very strong, he can still be considered a 3rd rank Mage. He should be able to deal with them for a while. Let's go back quickly."
Zhao Hai thought for a moment before he said, "Teacher, I have a spatial divergent ability. We can use the Space to return to the reception area. But once we get there, I'll lose most of my strength. It would be very difficult to deal with the enemy."
When Margaret heard Zhao Hai, her eyes couldn't help but light up as she said, "Alright, let's go back immediately. I'll deal with the enemy." Zhao Hai nodded, then he pretended to chant some incantations. Then he made some gestures that he didn't understand. After that, he opened a spatial passage and followed Margaret inside. In the next moment, they appeared in the reception area.
As soon as the two entered the room, they heard the sound of explosions coming from outside. Zhao Hai pretended to be pale as he said, "Teacher, I need to adjust my breathing. I'll leave the rest to you."
Margaret nodded, then she turned around and walked out. Before long, she arrived at the lobby. Upon arriving at the lobby, Margaret understood why the reception was able to last for so long. It turned out that there was a defensive formation in the reception.
The defensive formations of the Machine Field weren't the same as the defensive formations of the lower realms. The defensive formations of the Machine Field were powered by crystals. Because of this, the defensive formations were much stronger compared to the defensive formations of the lower realms.
These crystals were the ones in Zhao Hai's Space. When Zhao Hai saw these crystals, he was surprised. He didn't think that the crystals in his Space would be the most important resource in the World of Cultivation.
Margaret looked at the barrier that surrounded the reception area. Simpson was standing inside the barrier, and from time to time, he would fire a few spells at the mages outside. He didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
However, Margaret's heart wasn't in a good mood. From the situation in the reception area, it seems like the guards of Thailand Star haven't discovered anything. This wasn't good news for Margaret. This meant that the people of Thailand Star might have been bought over.
Aurora Star was an important source of Mithril. The three major forces were very strict in controlling this place. Now that so many Mages had entered the city and were fighting in the city, the city guards were nowhere to be seen. This could only mean that the guards had already been transferred away. Moreover, they were transferred away by their own people.
If this was the case, then this operation wouldn't only involve the Zhang Family. This was because the Zhang Family didn't have the ability to do so.
However, this thought only appeared in Margaret's mind. She didn't think too deeply about it. It was impossible for her to investigate this matter by herself. Right now, she needed to solve this problem first.
After thinking about this, Margaret began to move. One must know that Margaret was a 4th rank Mage. Although she didn't like fighting, she had been a teacher for a long time. Most of her time was spent studying magic formations. Because of this, her understanding of magic formations was far beyond ordinary Mages.
If it was in an ordinary situation, then Margaret would be at a disadvantage against these Mages due to her lack of combat experience. But at this time, Margaret was standing inside the defensive formation and was casting spells towards the Mages. This was different. Others couldn't hit her, but she could hit them. In this case, the other side would naturally be at a disadvantage.
The other party also discovered Margaret's sudden appearance. Although they didn't know why Margaret suddenly appeared here, they were sure that their assassination attempt had failed.
This time, their main target was Margaret. Originally, they surrounded Margaret in the bar as a backup plan. In their minds, if they failed in the bar and Margaret managed to break out, then Margaret would certainly return to the reception area. They also had people in the reception area, so if Margaret ran to the reception area, then she wouldn't be able to escape their ambush.
But it was a pity that Zhao Hai, who was completely unremarkable in their eyes, made their plan fail. Margaret and Zhao Hai didn't return to the reception area at all, instead, they ran to the mine.
The people who chased after Zhao Hai and the others also entered the mine. Because of this, the people in the reception area wanted to kill the crew. However, they didn't expect that the reception area had a defensive formation that prevented them from attacking.
These people weren't in a hurry. In their opinion, it didn't matter if they couldn't break in. After all, their main target was Margaret. As long as they killed Margaret, it didn't matter if the crew died or not.
But now that Margaret appeared in the reception area, they couldn't help but panic. Although they didn't know why Margaret was here, this proved that their plan to assassinate her didn't succeed.
Margaret was safe in the reception area, so it was impossible for them to break in. Moreover, they couldn't attack for too long. Although they had bribed the garrison of this area, the garrison wouldn't be able to suppress them for too long. It can be said that their operation was a complete failure.
The Mages looked at each other, then one of them nodded and waved his hand. Therefore, the Mages immediately withdrew. However, Margaret and the others didn't immediately remove the barrier. They didn't know if the enemy would come back or not.
After the people left, Xin Pu went to Margaret's side and said, "Teacher Margaret, what's going on? Where's Zhao Hai? "
Xin Pu's impression of Zhao Hai was very good. Zhao Hai was usually very gentle and didn't have any arrogance. Because of this, Xin Pu appreciated Zhao Hai very much.
Margaret calmly said, "Rest assured, Zhao Hai is fine. He's just resting in his room. Are my crew alright?"
Xin Pu nodded, "Of course they're fine. However, some of the crew members didn't come back. They were the ones who went out with Zhao Hai to buy things."
Margaret remembered that Zhao Hai had his skeletons take a few crew members away. Thinking about it, those people shouldn't have any problems.
Margaret nodded and said, "I think they'll be fine. Right, what about Crick? Where is he? "
Xin Pu replied, "He should be in his room. I told them to stay in their rooms and not come out." Margaret nodded, then she turned around and went upstairs.
Zhao Hai was also paying attention to the situation outside. He didn't need to rest, so naturally, he had to pay attention to the situation outside. When he saw that those people had left, Zhao Hai felt relieved. He immediately informed the skeletons to take the crew members back. At the same time, he went out of his room.
However, Zhao Hai still pretended to be pale. As soon as he came out, he saw Margaret, so he immediately said, "Teacher, how is it?"
Margaret looked at Zhao Hai, then she quickly said, "It's alright, those people have already withdrawn. You can go rest, there's no need to worry."
Zhao Hai nodded, "That's good, I just used too much strength. It's nothing. I'll have the skeletons take the crew back."
Margaret nodded and said, "I'll go to Crick's room to take a look. You can come with me." Zhao Hai nodded, then he followed Margaret to Crick's room.
Zhao Hai knew that Margaret letting him follow her meant that she was treating him as one of her own people. This was even better, it would be more convenient for him to do things in the Academy.
Crick's room wasn't far from Zhao Hai's room. The two quickly arrived at Crick's room. When they arrived at Crick's door, Margaret gently knocked twice and said, "Captain Crick, are you there? I'm Margaret, open the door. "
As soon as her voice fell, the door opened. Crick looked at Margaret with surprise. When he saw Margaret, Crick couldn't help but be happy, "Miss Margaret, you're back. That's great, you're fine. Mr. Zhao Hai, you're also fine? That's great. "
Margaret nodded and said, "Don't worry, everyone is fine. You don't have to worry. Right, go and call the other crew members. We'll gather in the dining hall. It's almost time for lunch, so let's have something to eat." Crick nodded and then ran to call the others.
At this time, a burst of sirens could be heard outside. These sirens were different from the ones on Earth, but they were still very sharp.
At this time, Simpson also came up and said to Margaret, "Miss Margaret, the guards are here. What do you think?"
Margaret's expression was very ugly. It's been three hours since she was attacked. After such a long time, the guards still haven't appeared. Now that they're here, Margaret sneered and then turned around to leave.
Zhao Hai didn't say anything as he followed Margaret outside. He knew that Margaret wouldn't say anything nice. However, he didn't intend to stop her. The Ashley Family was a powerful force in the Machine Field. Naturally, they would have their own bearing. If the other party did something like this, then they would be seen as weak if they didn't say anything.
