Chapter 896 127. A Painful Decision
There were less than twenty minutes left before the hour they had agreed with Marshal Galkin, which was not enough for them to trace back from the underground river.
Can't wait any longer...
Annan gathered the rescued people together and asked them: "Which of you saw the dungeon?"
Survivors, what do you expect? I looked at you, and suddenly a young man carrying the head of the Mad War Demon stood up.
Annan has some impression of him, seems his name is Rex? Soldiers of the Guards Corps must join the Villain Legion.
"Lord Annan, my companions and I encountered a dungeon on the way out, but there was no one inside..."
"Do you remember the road?"
Rike Si hesitated for a moment, then looked back at his companion who was hiding behind the others: "Iselan must remember!"
"Damn..." Iselan cursed and had to walk out of the crowd: " Lord Annan, I don’t remember very clearly..."
"It doesn't matter, take me there."
Rex was stunned: "You want to go there in person?"
"Because I am the only one who remembers the way back."
Theoretically, those people were deep enough underground, and the attacks from the mountain city should not be able to affect them there, but Annan didn't dare to bet...and Ilimoyas still hadn't come out yet.
Annan activated the talisman and summoned the cold-faced Mr. Swaro.
The Skeleton King needs to control the skeleton army from outside, and the dark rift suppresses magic. Only Mr. Swaro, who has embarked on the path of legend, can ignore the blockade.
"Mr. Shivaro, I need you to escort me to the black rift..."
"I am not your guard."
"We were in the dungeon before Saved a group of innocent women who were hiding underground in despair..."
"...Only this time"
Bringing a group of burly warriors with him, Annan followed the three Rex men who led the way, and took advantage of the defeat of the demons on the ground to get into the black crack again.
Naga also followed. Even the sea tribe had a good impression of this kind of lord who personally went into danger to rescue his people.
"Whether it is successful or not, this time it will be considered your meritorious service." Annan did not forget to tell the trio.
“For Liberty City, for Annan!” Rex slapped his chest excitedly.
Iselan and Just looked at him at the same time.
Swaro used magic to construct an hourglass, representing the time when the mountain city would destroy the Black Rift.
It turns out that Aiselan really remembered the way. It only took them three minutes to reach the familiar dungeon after applying the swift spell.
“Follow me!”
It was Annan who led the way.
His memory was good, coupled with Mr. Shivaro's prophecy and combat power, he rushed into the depths of the black rift and found several evil legion mages lost deep underground.
Annan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the noisy sound of the underground river coming from the front.
When the wizards and women of the evil legion saw that Annan really showed up with someone, they all started crying, and the villains also had complicated expressions.
If they had a balance in their hearts, they would have completely tilted towards Annan at this moment.
The success of retrieving the others made Annan regret the separation... However, Brinor Janna and Black Widow are both masters, so they should not drown in the underground river...
Annan looked up at the magic hourglass. Even if they didn't stop along the way, half of the hourglass still passed.
There were still twenty minutes left when they set off, and half...that was, only ten minutes left.
......
"Report!"
The messenger stood at the door: "Generalissimo, the mage tower is ready!"
"An hour away How long?" Marshal Galkin stood in front of the terrace, staring at the rift in the north.
"Ten minutes left, Grand Marshal."
"Notify the Mage Tower...to attack according to the scheduled time."
The orderer hesitated slightly: "But Grand Marshal, Annan Reeves Still inside..."
Marshal Galkin didn't look back, only his voice became thicker: "You want me to postpone the time?"
"No, Marshal!" "Then execute the order."
Marshal Galkin said lightly, waving his hand to signal the ordering soldiers to retreat.
The hand that returned to the guardrail clenched unconsciously...
...
Fighting was not Shadowsong's strong point.
Spying, interrogating, or assassinating were her forte, but it was useless here.
The terrain of the cave is not complicated, and the demon can smell her human scent from more than ten meters away...
Up to this point, Shadow Song is at the end of his strength, and any lemure can He could even harvest her life...
While thinking this, a lemure appeared in front.
“Huh…”
Shadowsong exhaled a breath and tightened his grip on the only remaining dagger. At least after leaving that sad home, these past few days were experiences she could never dream of...
It's a pity that all the good things will be like this cave, buried deep underground, and no one knows about it... .
Drawing her blood-stained body, Shadowsong was entangled with the lemure. She only lasted a few seconds before the dagger was knocked off due to lack of strength.
When she was preparing to welcome her own death, she suddenly heard a clicking sound from far to near...
Poof——
The lemure's chest was suddenly pierced by the long sword from behind. Shadowsong raised his head in surprise and saw a sun emblem plate armor that had only appeared in dreams.
But it became mottled and full of traces...
"Brother...?"
The skeleton grabbed the dazed Shadow Song and ran outside.
……
"You have good news. Alice has seen your blue dragon."
On the way back, Mr. Swaro suddenly said.
Annan expressed surprise: "Where are the others?"
"She didn't say."
Looking at the few hourglasses left, Annan made a decision: "We also Retreat!”
They went out much faster than when they came in, and they returned to the surface in about three minutes.
Annan saw some soldiers from the foreign aid corps and Janna tribesmen running to meet them.
The Janna tribe dispersed and started fighting with the surrounding demons.
“Who else hasn’t come out?” Annan asked the soldier.
“Miss Della is not there, there are still many soldiers!”
Annan looked at the fewer and fewer hourglasses and took a deep breath: "Everyone, withdraw from the black rift!"
"What should the others do?"
At this time, an inappropriate voice came out sounded.
Annan looked at 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 a single person."
Making this decision, Annan seemed to He fell into the underground river again, and the bone-chilling coldness made it difficult for him to breathe... But there was no time, and there was no way they could find Della and the others in the last two minutes.
In the distance, the Janna tribe shouted: "Why are you still dawdling! The time is coming!"
"Let's go!"
Annan ran out first.
The humans fighting around the black rift all withdrew, leaving the confused demons behind.
About two minutes later, Annan, who was running wildly with the team, suddenly noticed that the hourglass had run out...
At the same time, the mountain city dozens of miles away suddenly shone with a strong light.
