Chapter 847 Section 78 Breakout

Chapter 847 Section 78. Breakout

They were not short of supplies, and had enough food and equipment. The logs and rolling stones were all used up, but there were still a few barrels of oil.

Fermi asked to take them. After they broke out, they lost the terrain advantage, and kerosene was the only large-scale killing weapon besides the magician.

"Why don't we stay here and wait for reinforcements?" Aloma interrupted, she felt it was too risky to run out now.

Fermi's eyes moved away from the rock wall where the dull digging sound came from: "What if there are no reinforcements?"

"How could it be..."

The flashes of the Great Wall of the North have never stopped since last night, and the two empires have no time to pay attention to Hell Mountain for the time being... even with the pressure from Lord Annan.

"I agree." Beryl stood up. "Without the portal, we can't hold out for too long. The Gray Mountain Range is full of ratmen, and they can pile us up to death... Breaking out is the only way out."

If two days or even one day ago, the foreign aid corps would still have objections to Fermi's decision, and might even have secretly criticized him for being timid...but after really coming into contact with those endless rat tides, all imaginations were shattered like bubbles.

Even if you kill a hundred or a thousand ratmen...what does taking away a basin of sea water mean to the entire ocean?

Some soldiers even suffered from war trauma-they couldn't rest, and they were awakened by the ferocious ratmen who pounced on them as soon as they fell asleep.

"Then why didn't you break out earlier?" Aloma asked, holding the magic stone.

"The soldiers need to rest, and the basement can still hold out for a while."

Fermi looked at Aloma, or at the magic stone in her arms: "And most importantly: we can't evacuate in advance, giving those people an excuse to attack Lord Annan."

If this magic stone spreads out, everyone outside will know who "those people" refers to.

Broken Tooth was executed by his own people, and the Gray Mountain Range was blocked, but these were not their reasons for leaving the battle. Even if they evacuated at the last minute of the eleventh, they still didn't make it to the twelfth.

Ymir gathered the mages together and distributed the remaining magic potions to them. Whether the people here could break through depended on whether the portal could be opened smoothly.

And just like last time, not long after, the passage was dug by the ratmen, and the ratmen poured in, with the golems and warriors at the front.

Five thousand eight hundred and thirty-four people... this is the current number of people in the Hell Mountain Camp.

There are 2,800 people in the Hellfire Legion, more than 600 people in the Fourth Legion, 83 people in the Elite Team, and the remaining 2,300 people are all from the Foreign Aid Legion, all professionals.

They are undoubtedly a powerful force... but the enemy is the ratmen.

The warriors took turns to be at the front, and Fermi and the others waited for the arrival of 0 o'clock.

Three hours later, the time came to August 12.

"Prepare to break through!" Fermi ordered.

The mages began to cast spells, and the exhausted magic power quickly filled up in the basement.

As if they knew they were going to escape, the ratmen that poured in suddenly became fierce, the slave rats disappeared, and countless elite rats poured into the basement.

The soldiers' hands were numb from opening cans, so they had to add more soldiers to pull the battle line.

As the mages cast spells, the arched portal emitting fluorescent light gradually took shape in the basement, much larger than Annan and much smaller than the one at the Northern Great Wall.

Suddenly, a fluorescent green light spot, like a living thing, drilled into the passage and lingered on the portal.

The portal that was about to take shape was like a layer of gray gauze, dim and lightless.

The ratman priest was stopping them!

The warriors rushed to the passage like crazy, trying to find the ratman priest hiding behind. At this time, a crisp breaking sound rang out, and Ymir smashed her vine root staff.

The surging life energy poured out, silently relieving the fatigue of the surrounding mages, and was manipulated by Ymir to pounce on the evil energy lingering around the evil and melt it.

The portal finally took shape, and a dilapidated village with sparse rats appeared opposite the portal.

Belial shouted to the warriors to send some to rush in, followed by the rangers, and then the musketeers.

Ymir and the magician group maintained the portal, and Femi followed the last group of warriors to withdraw.

"Set off some fireworks to tell us that we are leaving."

"Yes."

Ymir was the last one to prepare her last spell.

The dazzling illumination rose from the basement and bloomed in the air of the camp. At this moment, a fluorescent green evil energy accurately shot out of the channel and hit the portal.

The mages in front of the portal watched the portal disappear with their eyes wide open, isolating them from Ymir in the basement.

...

The warriors quickly cleared the ratmen in the village.

They had never expected a group of humans to appear, and they were cleared by humans without any resistance.

"There is no magic here..."

Georgina stretched out her silk-gloved palm like snow,

"But there are no ratmen either." Nina next to her said with a battle axe.

"Hurry up, we'll be there soon!" Belial urged them past them and ran to the front of the team: "Go east! Before the ratmen react!"

The chaos of the mages spread to this side.

"What's going on?" Nina looked up.

Georgina walked over and came back with a gloomy face after a while: "The portal disappeared, and the elf wizard is still there."

"Can it be rescued?" Nina said in a muffled voice.

"Unless she can open it again by herself."

"It seems she can't come back..." Nina whispered, and suddenly rushed towards the ratmen with a battle axe.

Fermi came back with a gloomy face: "Take a ten-minute break."

In any case, they escaped from the rat tide.

Although there were many ratmen around the abandoned village, most of them were slave rats, and there were no ratman priests.

The original plan to break out was to set off immediately after arriving at the village. They knew the reason why Femi gave the order: to wait for Ymir.

Belial hesitated and gave up persuading. It's only ten minutes, the ratmen shouldn't be able to catch up.

Soon, ten minutes passed, and the portal was not opened...

Femi no longer hesitated, took a deep breath: "Let's go east!"

This team, which was mostly professionals, began to break out to the east.

The warriors protected the front row and flanks, the rangers cleaned up the ratmen who caught up, and the mages and hellfires were protected in the center - the gunshots were too easy to attract ratmen.

At first everything went well, and they didn't encounter many ratmen, but as their existence was spread, ratmen began to surge in.

The gunshots rang out in the valley of dawn, about 50 miles away from Hell Mountain.

The first to arrive was not the rat tide, but Ilimoyas who led the white dragon group.

"Have you seen Ymir?" Femi waved at Ilimoyas.

Ilimoyas landed in front of him and lowered his dragon head: "Didn't she come with you?"

"At the last moment, the rat priests attacked the portal..."

"I'll go back--"

"No, Lord Ilimoyas, go to a place with magic." Femi refused her, "Lord Annan will definitely try to summon you after he can't contact us. Tell him the situation here."
