Alien world

Chapter 896 127. Painful decision

There were less than twenty minutes left before the one-hour appointment 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 has seen the dungeon?"

The survivors looked at each other, and suddenly a young man carrying the head of the Mad War Demon stood up.

Annan had a bit of an impression of him. His name seemed to be 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?"

Rex hesitated for a moment, then looked back at his companion who was hiding behind the others: "Iselan must remember it!"

"Damn it..." Iselan cursed and had to walk out of the crowd: "Lord Annan, I don't remember very clearly..."

"Whether it's successful or not, this time it's all your credit." Annan did not forget to tell the trio.

"...Just this once."

"Because I am the only one who remembers the road ahead."

Annan activated the amulet and summoned the cold-faced Mr. Swaro.

Rex was stunned: "You want to go there in person?"

Naga also followed. Even the Sea Clan had a good impression of this kind of lord who personally took risks to rescue his people.

Annan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the noisy sound of the underground river coming from the front.

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.

Estherland and Just looked at him at the same time.

It turned out that Aiselan really remembered the way, and it only took them three minutes to reach the familiar dungeon after applying the swift spell.

With his good memory, coupled with Mr. Shivaro's prophecy and combat prowess, he rushed deep into the black cracks and found several evil legion mages lost deep underground.

"For Liberty City, for Annan!" Rex slapped his chest excitedly.

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.

"follow me!"

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.

It was Annan who led the way.

Swaro used magic to construct an hourglass, representing the time when the mountain city would destroy the Black Rift.

"It's okay, take me there."

"Mr. Swaro, I need you to escort me to the black rift..."

"We rescued a group of innocent women in the dungeon before. They were hiding underground in despair..."

"I'm not your guard."

When the mages 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 probably won't 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!"

"How long until one hour?" Marshal Galkin stood in front of the terrace, staring at the crack in the north.

"Ten minutes left, Generalissimo."

"Notify the Mage Tower...to attack according to the scheduled time."

The messenger hesitated slightly: "But Generalissimo, Annan Reeves is still inside..."

Marshal Galkin didn't look back, only his voice became thicker: "You want me to delay the time?"

"No, Generalissimo!" "Then execute the order."

Marshal Galkin said calmly and waved his hand to signal the ordering soldiers to retreat.

The hand that was placed back on the guardrail clenched unconsciously...

……

Combat was not Shadowsong's strong suit.

Spying, interrogating, or assassinating were her forte, but it was useless here.

The terrain of the cave is not complicated, and the devil can smell her human scent from more than ten meters away...

After persisting until now, Shadowsong has reached the end of her strength, and any lemure can harvest her life...

While thinking this, a lemure appeared in front of him.

"call……"

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.

Dragging 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 meet her own death, she suddenly heard a clicking sound coming from far away...

puff--

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...

"elder 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 will retreat too!"

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 hasn't come out yet?" Annan asked the soldier.

"Miss Della is not there, there are still many soldiers!"

Annan looked at the dwindling hourglass and took a deep breath: "Everyone, withdraw from the black rift!"

"What about the others?"

At this time, an inappropriate voice 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 won't be able to save a single person."

After making this decision, Annan seemed to have fallen into the underground river again, and the bone-chilling coldness made it difficult for him to breathe... But there was no time, and they had no way of finding Della and the others in the last two minutes.

In the distance, the Janna tribe shouted: "Why are you still dawdling! The time is almost up!"

"let's go!"

Annan ran out first.

The humans who were 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 was running out...

At the same time, the mountain city dozens of miles away suddenly shone with a strong light.
