Chapter 847 78. Breakout
They are not short of supplies, and their food and equipment are sufficient. The logs and rolling stones were gone, but there were still a few barrels of oil left.
Fermi asked to bring them. After they broke through, they lost the terrain advantage, and kerosene was the only weapon of large-scale destruction besides mages.
"Why don't we stay here and wait for reinforcements?" Aloma interrupted, feeling that it was too risky to run out now.
Fermi looked away from the rock wall where the dull sound of digging came from: "What if there are no reinforcements?"
"How could it be..."
The flash of the Great Wall of the North has not stopped from last night to now, and the two empires have no time to pay attention to Hell Mountain...even with the pressure from Lord Annan.
“I agree.” Belial stood up. "Without the portal, we won't be able to hold on for long. The Huiyue Mountains are crowded with ratmen, and they can pile up to kill us... Breaking out is the only way out."
If foreign aid had arrived two days or even a day ago, The Legion will still have objections to Fermi's decision, and may even criticize him for being timid... But after coming into contact with those endless waves of rats, all imaginations were shattered.
Even if you kill a hundred, a thousand ratmen... what does it mean to the entire ocean to carry away a basin of sea water?
Some soldiers even suffered from war trauma - they couldn't rest and were awakened by the approaching ferocious rat-men as soon as they fell asleep.
"Then why didn't you break out earlier?" Alomar asked, holding the magic stone.
"The soldiers need to rest, the basement can last for a while."
Femi looked at Aloma, or at the magic stone in her arms: "And the most important thing : We cannot evacuate early and give those people an excuse to attack Lord Annan."
If this magic stone is spread, everyone outside will know who "those people" refer to.
Broken Tooth was executed by his own people, and the Huiyue Mountains were blocked. This was no reason for them to leave the war. Even if they evacuated at the last minute on the 11th, they would not last until the 12th.
Ymir gathered the mages together and distributed the remaining magic potions to them. Whether the people here can break out depends on whether the portal can be opened smoothly.
And just like last time, not long after, the passage was dug by the rat men, and the rat men poured in, with the golems and warriors in front.
Five thousand eight hundred and thirty-four people... This is the current number of people in the Hell Mountain camp.
The Hellfire Legion has 2,800 people, the Fourth Legion has more than 600 people, the Elite Team has 83 people, and the remaining 2,300 people are all from the foreign aid corps, all professionals.
They are undoubtedly a powerful force... except that the enemy is the Skaven.
The soldiers took turns to stand in front, and Fermi and the others were waiting for the arrival of 0 o'clock.
Three hours later, the time came to August 12th.
"Prepare to break out!" Fermi ordered.
The mages began to cast spells, and the depleted magic power quickly filled up in the basement.
As if they knew they were about to escape, the influx of rat-men suddenly became violent, the slave rats disappeared, and countless elite rats poured into the basement.
The soldiers' hands were numb when opening cans, so they had to fill in more soldiers, stretching the battle line.
As the mages cast spells, the fluorescent arched portal gradually took shape in the basement. It was much larger than the one in Annan and much smaller than the one at the Great Wall of the North.
Suddenly, a fluorescent green light spot, like a living thing, entered the passage and lingered on the portal.
The portal that is about to take shape is like a layer of gray veil, dark and dull.
The rat priests are stopping them!
The soldiers rushed to the passage like crazy, trying to find out the rat priest hiding behind. At this time, there was a crisp breaking sound, and Ymir smashed her vine root staff.
The surging life energy surged out, silently relieving the fatigue of the surrounding mages, and was controlled by Ymir to pounce on the lingering evil energy and dissolve it.
The portal finally took shape, and a dilapidated village scattered with sparse rats appeared opposite the portal.
Beryl loudly asked some soldiers to rush in, followed closely by the rangers, and then the musketeers.
Ymir and the mage group maintained the portal, and Femi followed the last group of warriors to withdraw.
"Set off some fireworks to tell us we're leaving." "Yeah."
Ymir was last, preparing her last spell.
The dazzling light spell rose out of the basement and bloomed in the air of the camp. At this moment, a ray of fluorescent green evil energy accurately shot out of the passage and hit the portal.
The mages in front of the portal watched with splitting eyes as the portal was annihilated, cutting them off from Ymir in the basement.
......
The warriors quickly cleared away the ratmen in the village.
They completely did not expect that a group of humans would appear and be cleared away by humans without any resistance.
"There is no magic here either..."
Georgina stretched out her silk-gloved palms like catching snow,
“But there are no rat men either.” Nina next to her said, holding a battle ax.
“Let’s hurry up, we’ll be there soon!” Beryl urged as he walked past them and ran to the front of the team: “Let’s go to the east! Before the Rat Man reacts!”
The confusion among the mages spread here.
"What's going on?" Nina raised her head.
Georgina walked over and came back with a gloomy face after a while: "The portal disappeared, and the elf archmage is still over there."
"Can it still be saved?" Nina said in a dull voice.
"Unless she can open it again by herself."
"It seems she can't come back..." Nina whispered, and suddenly rushed towards the rat man with her battle ax raised.
Fermi came back with a gloomy face: "Take a break for ten minutes."
Anyway, they escaped from the rat tide.
Although there are also many rat people around the abandoned village, most of them are slave rats, and there are no rat priests.
The original breakout plan was to set off immediately after arriving in the village. They knew the reason for Femi's order: to wait for Ymir.
Beryl hesitated to speak and gave up the persuasion. In just ten minutes, the Rat Man shouldn't be able to catch up.
Soon, ten minutes passed, and the portal never opened...
Fermi no longer hesitated and took a deep breath: "Let's set off to the east!"
This team, mostly professionals, began to break out to the east.
The warriors protect the front row and flanks, the rangers clean up the chasing ratmen, and the mages and hellfires are protected in the center - the gunfire is too easy to attract the ratmen.
Everything went well at first, they encountered not many rat-men, but as their presence was spread, the rat-men began to come in,
The gunshots were heard about 50 miles away from Hell Mountain The dawn sounded in the valley.
The first one to arrive was not the rat tide, but Ilimoyas who led the white dragon group.
“Have you seen Ymir!” Femi waved to Ilimoyas.
Elimayas landed in front of him, lowering her dragon head: "She didn't come with you?"
"At the last moment, the rat priest attacked the portal..."
“I’ll go back——”
"No, Lord Ilimoyas, you go to a magical place." Femi rejected her, "Sir Annan will definitely try to summon you after he cannot contact us and tell him the situation here."
