Chapter 852 83. The last battle before the river
Blom did what he promised: he led three hundred people to hold off the chasing rats for a long time.
The price is that they will never come back.
But even if the pressure is relieved, the number of the breakout team is still decreasing due to the rat men all over the mountains and plains. Even the mages are armed with magic guns to eliminate the endless swarms of rats.
This is the rat tide. Killing a hundred rat men will not reduce the tide, but if you reduce one person, it will really reduce the number.
As night falls, the team that has been running for a day quickly makes these mages, who are weaker than ordinary people, a burden and slows down the team's speed.
Georgina and Nina, who came back to lead her, said: "You go, don't worry about us."
"Don't say stupid things."
The mages continued He couldn't run anymore, so he offered to stop the rats.
“No!”
Femi's answer was exactly the same as Nina's: "Unless we die, nothing will happen to you."
Mages are valuable assets. Regardless of whether they will remain in the foreign aid corps in the future, at least for now, they are weak comrades, and Fermi must protect them.
When the warriors could hardly lift their blunted swords, and the front row was about to be overwhelmed, and there was no basement for them to hide this time, Ilimoyas fell from the sky.
She brought the news that Annan would be rescued. Even though they knew that the rescue would be at least a few days away, it still cheered them up.
"Hold on! Lord Annan will come back soon to support us!"
The return of the blue dragon relieved some of the pressure, and many slave rats were afraid of the dragon's power.
Elimayas swooped down, breathing out lightning dragon breath as the rats plowed the ground. At a certain moment, a ray of evil energy shot out from the rats, entangling Yi who was caught off guard. Limayas.
Ilimoyas, who was instantly weak, could not lift her wings and crashed down, shattering the ground and the rat-men. Then the rat people swarmed up and covered Ilimoyas's beautiful dragon body.
Femi led the legion to rush to support, and dazzling lightning suddenly burst out among the surging rats. The rat people climbing up Ilimayas turned into charred black, and the air was filled with scorched smoke. odor.
Elimayas rose into the air again. The brief siege just now did not cause any damage to her deep blue dragon scales. The waving wings stirred up strong winds, and Ilimoyas took a deep breath, and the winding lightning dragon's breath spurted out, turning the rat priest hiding in the elite rat group and the surrounding rats into charcoal.
"Follow."
Hovering in a circle, Ilimoyas whispered to the humans on the ground, and rushed to the east with the remaining five white dragons, opening the way in front.
From night to morning, every swing of the weapon was accompanied by the screams of the rat men and the splash of blood. However, the rat tide is always endless, coming in wave after wave.
A white dragon fell mournfully, and the rat men swarmed up. Ilimoyasi rushed to the rescue, but another white dragon fell. By the time she arrived, it was already too late.
After two days of breakout, there were less than 4,000 people left out of the 5,800 people who set off.
And they are still 100 miles away from the border of Dimon Kingdom.
No one complained that Fermi made a bad decision. Because the rat people's blockade has always existed, the result of their stay in Hell Mountain will not be much better than now...
Although the price is equally tragic, there are only two heads of the white dragon left, and less than three points of the centurion left. In one case, even Fermi lost a right arm.
After the bloody sunset disappeared, the surviving three thousand people rushed to a rushing river in the middle of the night.
Like a dividing line, there is an endless tide of rats on the west side of the river, while there are only sparse rats on the east side.
It saved the lives of the exhausted warriors, but it also trapped them here.
Everyone stood with their backs against the river, resisting the incoming rats, and chaos arose.
Georgina raised her magic musket and aimed at a rat-man with sharp teeth, and pulled the trigger——
The gunshot did not sound as expected, and the greedy and crazy rat-man flashed in his eyes. Pounce, and to make matters worse, Nina is not around. Georgina, who had always stood in the distance and cast spells gracefully to destroy the enemy, closed her eyes——
Warmth exploded in front of her eyes, but there was no pain. She opened her eyes and saw an unknown young soldier blocking the attack for her and killing the rat man, but the rat man's iron pieces also tore through the tattered plate armor and stabbed him. Wear chest.
"Healing!"
Georgina yelled, before remembering that her magic had dried up.
"I...I..."
The young soldier who fell to the ground stretched out his hand. Georgina gave up her past obsessiveness and grabbed his hand with a silk-gloved hand: " What do you want to say?”
The somewhat handsome young soldier spit out pink blood foam: "Master Annan and I...who is more beautiful..."
"You...I don't know who Annan is..." Georgina cried while laugh.
The young soldier gave an ugly smile, the hand held by Georgina dropped, and his eyes reflecting the starry sky gradually lost their luster.
“I really want to go back to Liberty City…”
Georgina seemed to have lost the ability to think and stayed there in a daze.
Until a familiar roar sounded in my ears.
“What are you thinking about!”
Nina pulled her up, pushed her to the protected core area, and continued to rush out to fight.
Ilimoyasi landed with the only two white dragons left at this time, stared at Femi and said: "Who will go first."
"Let the mage go first, all the wounded and Let’s stop the rat tide together!”
Femi did not forget to ask people to bring Aloma. Her magic stone is the only evidence that they are still fighting.
Alomar already knew his importance and did not refuse. He said to the bloody little William: "Where is Richardson?"
"He died in the battle." He said .
In the past, little William was a young son with no independent opinion - this can be seen from the fact that he was kicked out by his sister for conscription. But as he experienced the war, he transformed from a boy into a warrior.
Elimayas and the two white dragons carried the mage across the fast-flowing river and placed them on the other side, but the transportation took time, and all the soldiers began to fight for time for them.
The blood dyed the grass red and was submerged in the deep darkness.
Ilimoyas, who made nearly a hundred trips back and forth, finally sent off more than 300 mages, but there was nothing she could do about the remaining 2,000 warriors.
On the dim eve of dawn, a tragic atmosphere filled the battlefield.
They can't hold on any longer.
Lochran returned from the front line carrying the centurion who was seriously wounded and bleeding.
"I should not be able to see the dawn..." The centurion coughed up a mouthful of bloody sputum, "My suicide note... damn it."
He remembered that their suicide notes were all with the Elf Archmage, who I can imagine that Ymir will be ahead of them...
Lokern looked at the night sky, and when he was about to sigh something, he suddenly saw the outline of a star covered with morning glow coming from the horizon, becoming more and more clear. , the outline of the floating city emerged...
"That's Liberty City, it's floating! We are saved, have you seen it!" Lockran lowered his head excitedly, surprise frozen on his face.
The centurion was no longer breathing.
