Alien world

Chapter 852 83. The last battle before the river

Blom did what he promised: he led three hundred men to hold off the pursuing rats for a long time.

The cost is that they never come back.

But even if the pressure is reduced, the number of rats in the mountains and plains is still decreasing, and 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 them, said: "You can go and don't worry about us."

"Don't say stupid things."

The mages could no longer run away and offered to stop the rats.

"no!"

Femi’s answer was the same as Nina’s: “Unless we die, nothing will happen to you.”

Mages are a valuable asset. 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.

The warriors could hardly lift their blunted swords, and the front row was about to be overwhelmed, and when 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 to move forward in the face of the dragon's might.

Ilymayas swooped down, breathing out lightning dragon breath to plow the ground among the rats. At a certain moment, a ray of evil energy shot out from the rats, entangling the unprepared Illymayas.

Immediately weakened, Ilimayas couldn't 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 the smell of burning.

Ilimoyasi rose into the air again, and 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."

After circling in a circle, Ilimoyas whispered to the humans on the ground, and rushed to the east with the remaining five white dragons to open 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 with a mournful cry, 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 breaking out of the 5,800 people who set off, less than 4,000 people remained.

And they are still 100 miles away from the border of Dimon Kingdom.

No one complained that Fermi made a bad decision. Because the Skaven blockade has always existed, the outcome of their stay in Hell Mountain will not be much better than it is now...

Although the price was equally tragic, only two of the white dragons were left, less than a third of the centurions were left, and even Fermi lost one of his right arms.

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 reigned.

Georgina raised her magic musket, aimed at a rat-man with sharp teeth, and pulled the trigger——

The gunfire didn't ring out as expected, the Rat Man with greed and madness in his eyes rushed towards him, and to make matters worse, Nina was not around. Georgina, who had always stood in the distance and gracefully cast spells to eliminate enemies, 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 her magic was drained.

"me……"

The young soldier who fell to the ground stretched out his hand. Georgina gave up her previous hermeticism and grabbed his hand with a silk-gloved hand: "What do you want to say?"

The somewhat handsome young soldier spat out pink blood foam: "Master Annan and I... who is more beautiful..."

"You...I don't know who Annan is..." Georgina cried and laughed at the same time.

The young soldier put on 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 stood there blankly.

Until a familiar roar sounded in my ears.

"What are you doing?"

Nina pulled her up, pushed her to the protected core area, and continued to rush out to fight.

At this time, Ilimoyasi landed with the only two white dragons left. She stared at Femi and said, "Who will go first."

"Let the mage go first, and all the wounded will join me to stop the rat tide!"

Femi didn't forget to bring Aloma, and her magic stone was the only evidence that they were still fighting.

Aloma already knew her importance and did not refuse. She asked the bloody little William, "Where is Richardson?"

"He died fighting," he said.

In the past, young William was a young son with no independent opinions - this can be seen from the fact that he was kicked out by his sister for conscription. But as he went through the war, he transformed from a boy into a warrior.

Ilimoyas and two white dragons carried the mage across the fast-flowing river and placed them on the other side. However, 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.

After nearly a hundred trips back and forth, Ilimoyas 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.

Lockran returned from the front line carrying the centurion who was seriously wounded and bleeding.

"I shouldn't be able to see the light of 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 would have thought that Ymir would be ahead of them...

Locklan looked at the night sky and was about to sigh something when he suddenly saw an outline covered with morning glow coming from the horizon. It became clearer and clearer, and the outline of the floating city emerged...

"That's Liberty City, it's floating! We're saved, did you see it?" Lockran lowered his head excitedly, surprise frozen on his face.

The centurion was no longer breathing.
