Chapter 896 Section 127. Painful Decision
There were less than 20 minutes left before the one hour agreed with Grand Marshal Galkin, which was not enough for them to trace back from the underground river.
They couldn't wait any longer...
Annan gathered the rescued people together and asked them, "Who of you saw the dungeon?"
The survivors looked at each other, and suddenly a young man holding the head of a berserker stood up.
Annan had some impression of him, and his name seemed to be Rex? A soldier of the Guards Corps, who insisted on joining the evil corps.
"Lord Annan, my companions and I encountered a dungeon on the way out, but there was no one inside..."
"Do you remember the way?"
Rex hesitated for a moment, then looked back at his companions who were hiding behind the others: "Esseran must remember!"
"Damn..." Esseran cursed and had to walk out of the crowd: "Lord Annan, I don't remember it very clearly..."
"It doesn't matter, take me there."
Rex was stunned: "You want to go there yourself?"
"Because I'm the only one who remembers the way back."
Theoretically, those people are deep enough underground, and the attack of the Mountain City should not affect there, but Annan dare not gamble... and Ilimoas has not come out yet.
Annan activated the amulet and summoned Mr. Swarro with a cold face.
The Skeleton King needs to manipulate the Skeleton Army outside, and the Dark Rift suppresses magic. Only Mr. Swarro, who is on the road to legend, can ignore the blockade.
"Mr. Swarro, I need you to escort me to the Black Rift..."
"I'm not your guard."
"We rescued a group of innocent women in the dungeon before. They are desperately hiding underground..."
"... Only this time."
Bringing a group of burly warriors, Annan followed Rex and the other two who led the way and took advantage of the defeat of the ground demons to drill into the Black Rift again.
The Naga also followed. Even the sea tribe had a good impression of the lord who personally risked his life to rescue his people.
"Whether it succeeds or not, this time it counts as your merit." Annan did not forget to say to the trio.
"For the Free City, for Annan!" Rex patted his chest excitedly.
Athelran and Just looked at him at the same time.
Swarro used magic to construct an hourglass, representing the time when the Mountain City would destroy the Black Rift.
It turned out that Athelran really remembered the way. After casting the Swiftness spell, it took them only three minutes to reach the familiar dungeon.
"Follow me!"
The guide was replaced by Annan.
He had a good memory, and with Mr. Swarlow's prophecy and combat power, he rushed into the depths of the black rift and found several mages of the evil army who were lost deep underground.
When he heard the noisy sound of water flowing in the underground river from the front, Annan breathed a sigh of relief.
When the mages and women of the evil army saw Annan really bring people, they all cried, and the villains also had complicated expressions.
If they had a balance in their hearts, they would have completely leaned towards Annan at this moment.
The success of finding the others made Annan regret the separate actions... But Brino Janna and Black Widow are both masters, they should not drown in the underground river...
Annan looked up at the magic hourglass. Even if they did not stop along the way, the hourglass still passed half.
When they set out, there were still twenty minutes left, and half... that is, only ten minutes left.
...
"Report!"
The messenger stood at the door: "Grand Marshal, the magic tower is ready!"
"How long is it until an hour?" Grand Marshal Galkin stood in front of the terrace, staring at the rift in the north.
"Ten minutes left, Grand Marshal."
"Notify the Mage Tower... Attack at the scheduled time."
The messenger hesitated a little: "But Grand Marshal, Annan Reeves is still inside..."
Grand Marshal Galkin did not even turn his head, only his voice became rough: "Do you want me to postpone the time?"
"No, Grand Marshal!"
"Then follow the order."
Grand Marshal Galkin said lightly, waved his hand, and signaled the messenger to retreat.
The hand that was put back on the guardrail clenched unconsciously...
...
Fighting is not Yingge's strong point.
Inquiring, interrogating, or assassinating are her forte, but it is useless here.
The cave terrain is not complicated, and the demon can smell her human scent from more than ten meters away...
Holding on until now, Yingge is already at the end of her strength, and any inferior demon can reap her life...
When thinking about this, an inferior demon appeared in front of her.
"Hu..."
Yingge exhaled a foul breath and clenched the only remaining dagger. At least after leaving that sad home, these few days were experiences she could not even dream of...
It's a pity that all the good things will be like this cave, buried deep underground, unknown to anyone.
Dragging her bloody body, Yingge and the inferior demon were entangled. She only lasted for a few seconds before her dagger was knocked out due to exhaustion.
When she was preparing to face her own death, she suddenly heard a clattering sound coming from far away...
Puff——
The inferior demon's chest was suddenly pierced by the long sword behind it. Yingge looked up in surprise and saw a piece of sun emblem plate armor that had only appeared in her dreams.
But it became mottled and covered with marks...
"Brother...?"
The skeleton grabbed the stunned Yingge and ran outside.
...
"You have good news. Alice saw your blue dragon."
On the way back, Mr. Swarovski suddenly said.
Annan was surprised: "Where are the others?"
"She didn't say."
Looking at the few remaining hourglasses, Annan made a decision: "We will retreat too!"
The speed of going out was much faster than when they came in. With about three minutes left, they returned to the surface.
Annan saw some soldiers from the foreign aid army and the Janna people running to meet them.
The Janna people scattered and fought with the surrounding demons.
"Who else hasn't come out?" Annan asked the soldiers.
"Miss Dela didn't come out, there are still many soldiers!"
Annan looked at the increasingly few hourglasses and took a deep breath: "Everyone, withdraw from the black rift!"
"What about the others?"
At this time, an untimely voice sounded.
Annan looked at the Naga who asked the question, and after a moment of silence, he said: "It's too late... Even if we go back, we can't save anyone."
After making this decision, Annan seemed to fall into the underground river again, and the bone-chilling cold made it difficult for him to breathe... But there was no time, they had no way to find Dela and the others in the last two minutes.
In the distance, the Janna people shouted towards us: "Why are you still dawdling? The time is up!"
"Let's go!"
Annan ran out first.
All the humans fighting around the black rift retreated, leaving the confused demons behind.
About two minutes later, Annan, who was running wildly with the team, suddenly noticed that the hourglass was running out...
At the same time, the mountain city dozens of miles away suddenly flashed with a strong light.
