Alien world

Chapter 848 79. Annan’s determination

In the early morning, morning mist floated over the Huiyue Mountains.

The thick fog flowing through the valley was like a river of milk, only tainted by the rat-men rushing out.

Ilimoyas left the white dragons to them, stirring the mist and disappearing into the sky.

Fermi's eyes returned to the rat men rushing out of the thick fog from all directions.

After a night of breakout, their biggest enemy is no longer the rat-men, but fatigue...

The total rest time in the past three days was less than eight hours. They had been able to rely on blessing magic before, but as the journey intensified, the attrition caused by fatigue and sleepiness increased.
"Hold on, as long as we leave the evil blockade, we will survive the most difficult level!"

They pushed on and drove another dozen miles. They should still be about 150 miles away from the Kingdom of Dimeng, but bad news came one after another.

As the morning fog cleared, a mixed group of rats appeared on the road they came from, gradually approaching.

They don't care at all if it's Hell Mountain. But this is a wilderness with no natural dangers. They can easily be dragged into the quagmire by this group of elite rats and swallowed up by the continuous influx of rats.

Fermi looked at Blom: "I need someone to stay and stop them."

"There are not enough people in the elite team." Blom shook his head, "Give me two hundred people."

"Okay, do you want the oil barrel?"

There were eight barrels of kerosene left, and they couldn't carry such a heavy thing for more than a hundred miles.

"It's more useful if you hold it."

Fermi transferred more than 200 professionals from the foreign aid corps who were willing to take the rear, making up 300 people.

"I'll let Bai Long pick you up."

"No need, you can run, don't worry about your back." Blom thought of his brother, Swayne's father - he would always hold a pipe in his mouth and exhale a thick smoke when making important decisions.

If only that pipe was with me now.

"Sven..." Blom looked at his nephew.

"No, uncle, I'm with you," Swain said firmly.

"Well, your father can't come to hell to blame me anyway." Blom smiled and turned back to face the three hundred warriors and rangers who were looking at him.

"From Breeze City to Hell Mountain, we have been running away... This time, I don't want to run away anymore!"

Blom raised his sword and stabbed it into the hazy sky.

"Tell those rat-men who are the masters of this land!"

Three hundred people charged in the opposite direction of the main force.

Blom led the team to block the chasing rats, but the pressure on the team was only relieved. The rat men coming from the other three directions still slowed them down, especially the mixed rat tide coming from the front.

Compared to Elite Rats, Rough Rats are real trouble. Even the heavily armed elites could not withstand the hammer blows from these big men who were taller than the golems. Under their impact, the frontline soldiers were rapidly collapsing.

"Prepare oil barrels and fire arrows!"

As Fermi shouted, the oil barrels carried by the heavy horses were unloaded one after another. But how to smash these hundreds of pounds of kerosene into the rat tide?

A soldier suddenly picked up the oil drum and rushed to the front line.

The elf ranger quickly lit the arrows and pulled up the bowstring——

The soldier relied on the plate armor and rushed into the pile of rat men with the oil barrel in his arms. However, when he wanted to retreat, he was entangled by several elite rats. The weapons left wounds along the weak points of the plate armor.

The Elf Ranger was unable to fire his bow and had to watch as the Elite Rats swarmed up, drowning the oil drum and the warrior.

"Find a good opportunity and don't hesitate."

A rough voice came from the side, and another soldier rushed forward holding an oil drum.

Perhaps no rat man could resist the scent of oil, so a group of elite rats and reckless rats rushed towards the warrior.

A large number of ratmen gathered around him, and the final gap has not yet been closed. This is the best opportunity... "I don't know your name yet..."

The Elf Ranger's pale thin lips opened slightly, and he released his hand holding the bowstring.

A fiery red arrow shot at the oil barrel raised by the warrior with a roar, and then the oil barrel erupted like lava——

……

Ilimayas, who was far enough away from the Huiyue Mountains, suddenly felt her body light up, and the ubiquitous suffocation feeling disappeared.

At the same time, a portal appeared in front of her, and Ilimoyas was thrown behind her.

Ilimoyas flew back to the portal floating in the sky and saw Annan who was relieved.

From last night to early morning, Annan never gave up casting spells.

"How about it?"

"Femi led the legion to leave the camp and break out to the Dimon Kingdom in the east."

"map."

There was a stirring sound from Annan's side, and then Olmedo's voice sounded: "It's close to two hundred miles away, can they make it there?"

"No, there are rat people on the road." Ilimoyas replied.

Annan frowned. The evil energy has blocked the entire Gray Mountains, and even if Mr. Swaro and Dean Blehim are allowed to pass through, nothing can be done.

"Annan, please think of a way...remember to pay me." Ilimoyasi suddenly spoke and flew in the direction she came from.

Blue Dragon's actions made the hesitant Annan suddenly strengthen his determination.

"I want to make a decision."

He closed the portal and spoke to his eldest sister and Olmedo.

"I support you." They said in unison.

"Don't you ask what the decision was?"

Olmedo responded: "I just don't want to watch soldiers die in a foreign land. Whatever your plan is... do it."

……

The square in front of the city lord's palace.

All the residents and tourists of Liberty City blocked the square and surrounding streets, looking at Annan and Olmedo who were standing on the terrace of the city's main palace to announce major events.

First, Olmedo described the situation in the north. When the crowd was in an uproar, Annan stood up: "You may ask, why do we let our brothers and sisters resist the rat people...because this is our responsibility."

"Can we really hide in Middle-earth and enjoy the peace maintained by those heroic warriors? Then what is the difference between us and other nobles?"

The crowd around the city lord's palace gradually became quiet.

"We can stay here, but those who lost their homes will forever lose trust in us, just as we lost trust in those people."

"Death is full of pain. Because of this, we must build a great wall of flesh and blood!"

The huge square was silent, with only Annan's words echoing over Liberty City.

"I am not a visionary leader. I am not a person who has the courage to crush the enemy's bones into dust... I just want to protect my people, be your strong backing, and be lifted up by every Free City person. You can raise your head proudly when you stand up for your own home!”

"The warriors in the north did what they promised, now, it's my turn."

"Liberty City should shine like a gem in the sky, instead of being buried underground and growing moldy!"

Annan's dark eyes swept across the quiet crowd.

"So, let's take them home!"
