Chapter 693 Evacuation
Above the Frozen Fortress, the giant eyes appeared for a while and then slowly closed, disappearing without a trace, as if they had never appeared, but the lingering fear left by the terrifying oppressive feeling on everyone has not dissipated for a long time, leaving a long dead silence on the battlefield .

Since the giant eye did not cause substantial damage to the troops of both sides, the soldiers gradually recovered, the original chaotic order slowly restored, and the vanguard troops clashed again.

But at this moment, the horns sounded regularly from the inner city wall, and the rhythm conveyed the meaning: retreat.

Obviously, according to Solandelle's time estimate, the team that evacuated earlier should have arrived at the scheduled location and established a blocking position, and now this group of troops can begin to retreat.

The soldiers fought with inferior forces, and they were already exhausted. They were completely infected by Solandelle's flag-carrying act before, and they forcibly boosted their morale and fought recklessly with the tribal soldiers. In fact, they were so tired that they almost raised their weapons. not moving.

At this time, when the retreat horn sounded, the pressure on the soldiers suddenly dropped, and they quickly retreated from the tunnels extending in all directions to the inner city wall.

The tribal warriors wanted to chase them, but they were completely unfamiliar with the structure of the tunnels. After chasing them, they ran around like a maze. After chasing for a long time, they found themselves spinning in circles, being ambushed continuously, and escaped in embarrassment after leaving behind many corpses. .

Seeing this, Jupiter was almost mad with anger, and immediately ordered all the siege equipment to be used to launch a fierce attack on the inner city wall.

Last night, the tribal soldiers broke through the outer wall of the frozen fortress and firmly controlled the barracks area. All the heavy weapons fell into their hands.

Before the defenders of the Frozen Fortress fought tenaciously, the heavy weapons could not be transported to the effective strike range, so they could only engage in hand-to-hand combat. But now the defenders have retreated in large numbers, the road has been cleared, and those powerful weapons were quickly transported up.

Ballistas, trebuchets, chariots, and siege towers. Steel giant arrows are constantly inserted into the city wall. After being pulled, large pieces of the wall are torn off. The boulders hit the wall and leave deep pits like meteorites. When the city gate was hit hard, the steel bars began to bend under the huge force, and the inner city wall was like a crumbling giant, ready to fall down at any time.

The siege equipment is huge, and the enemy is pressing every step of the way. Under the instinct of survival, the evacuated soldiers will inevitably panic, which leads to crowding and stampede.

In order to maintain order and improve the efficiency of the retreat, Solandelle led the grassroots commanders to stand guard at the exit of the tunnel and lead everyone to evacuate in an orderly manner.

When Garot led the imperial guards out of the tunnel, the first thing he did was to look for Solandelle. When he saw her standing outside intact, Garot couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Garrett stepped forward quickly, panting and said: "Your Highness, you have to leave quickly, there are barbarians chasing everywhere outside, this inner city wall can't last long!"

Solandelle looked at the soldiers who kept running out of the tunnel entrance, and muttered nervously: "I can't go yet. I have to wait for everyone to evacuate."

Garrett grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her vigorously: "You can't save everyone! It's enough to save a group! If you delay any longer, it will be dangerous. Let's go!"

"Boom—" Just as Garrot finished speaking, the middle section of the wall was hit by a boulder from a trebuchet, and the structure finally couldn't support it, and pieces collapsed.

With the sound of rolling stones, smoke and dust shot up into the sky, and the tunnel below collapsed, and the soldiers who hadn't escaped were buried in it forever.

Seeing this scene, Solandelle's heart was bleeding. These soldiers stayed here just to cover the evacuation of the compatriots behind them. They had tried everything, but they fell in the darkness before dawn. How cruel it is thing.
"Save people! Some are still saved!" Solandelle shouted, and rushed over regardless of her own safety. Seeing this, Garrot and the rest of the soldiers quickly followed her pace.

After the middle section of the wall collapsed, the foundation also collapsed, and the entire tunnel was blocked, and the people inside could not be saved anyway.

However, some people escaped from the tunnel before and were not directly buried alive, but were affected by the collapsed wall and were crushed in the ruins. These people have the hope of being rescued.

Solandelle rushed to a soldier who was being suppressed, struggling to move the stones above, and shouted: "Save those who can see first, move fast!"

Everyone followed suit and started saving lives.

When those soldiers were suppressed, they were already desperate. They thought that they would either be crushed to death here, or they would be captured alive by tribal fighters, tortured horribly, and finally died in pain.

They really didn't expect that Solandelle would rush back to save everyone at such a critical moment, and they all burst into tears and thanked each other.

The outermost group of soldiers bore less buried objects, and they were quickly rescued by everyone's joint efforts. According to preliminary statistics, there are hundreds of people, and they are all safe.

However, there are still many soldiers who were in a bad position before. When the wall collapsed, they were buried very deep. Some of them were crushed to death and there was no hope of saving them. Others were still alive, but there were many wreckage on their bodies. , unlike those who were lightly buried, they could be pulled out with all their strength. It took several people to work together to clear the ruins before they could be pulled out.

Even though the rescue was extremely difficult, Solandelle did not give up, and was still saving people one by one, saving one more was one.

"Help! Woo! Someone help me!" In the ruins, Solandelle suddenly heard the cry, and she hurried to the direction of the sound, and found a young boy was crushed here.

The boy's face is very childish, he looks a few years older than Solandelle, he should be the kind of conscript who came to serve in the army as soon as he was an adult, at this time he was suppressed by intertwined wreckage from the waist down, only half of his body was exposed, I can't get out no matter what.

Seeing Solandelle running over, the boy's ashesy eyes lit up with hope, and he desperately stretched out his hand and shouted at her: "Your Highness! Help me! My leg is being crushed!"

Seeing such a young child's life hanging by a thread, Solandelle was already very anxious, and hurried to his side, struggling to hold the wreckage with her shoulders, to buy the boy a gap to crawl out.

With Solandelle's efforts, the wreckage was lifted a little, and the young man muttered "thank you" and quickly crawled out.

However, at this moment, another boulder hit the city wall, causing the wall to collapse. Solandelle was also knocked down by the aftermath. Before the boy's legs could be fully pulled out, they were crushed again.

What is even more suffocating is that tribal warriors have already appeared at the gap in the city wall, and they are rushing towards this side with loud shouts.

Garalt rushed to Solandelle, grabbed her arm and shouted, "Go! The enemy is about to catch up!!!"

Hopes were ignited and shattered. The young man had already collapsed. He stretched out his hand helplessly to Solandelle, crying hissingly: "Your Highness! Don't abandon me! Please! Woohoo!"
