Verse 68. But at what cost

Chapter 837 Section 68.But what is the price

Annan was stunned by the bloody viscera that slipped from the portal, and then he realized that something was wrong!

"Warriors attack! The mage is not far behind! ”

Olmedo reacted first and ordered the foreign aid corps to set off.

The warriors roared and rushed into the portal, and the group of warriors who did not get tired and were not injured immediately stabilized the crumbling tide of battle.

Before it was even the mage's turn to enter, the nezumi were re-pinned back to the vicinity of the passage.

"Where's Fermi!" Annan asked Yumir, who was standing aside.

"I'm here, Lord Annan." Fermi, whose plate armor and face were covered in undried blood, walked around to the portal: "It's good that you ...... a few minutes early"

"How could the nezumi rush in...... Lost camp? ”

"Well, a large number of soldiers have been infected with the plague, and the rat people have also rang the bell and sent elite troops to raid the camp, and we have been forced to retreat underground to defend ourselves."

"You want to go backβ€”"

"We will retake the camp and hold it until August 12!" Fermi blocked back Annan's words to let them go back.

Annan was silent for a moment and said, "The first batch of foreign aid corps is 1,500 people, and there should be about 1,000 more people added tomorrow." ”

"The more the merrier......"

After a full day of fighting the nezumi, Fermi put away all his arrogance.

"Do I need to send you the Guards and Musketeers?" Annan asked.

"No, sir. You've helped enough. This war has transformed Fermi, and his temperament is even more dull and restrained, "If you use your resources to win, I don't deserve to be the commander of this legion." ”

Annan stopped persuading and watched as they and the legions of foreign reinforcements drove the nezumi out of the basement and asked them to send the infected soldiers back to Liberty City.

"Lord Annan, we can still fight!" As a result, the wounded soldiers refused.

Fermi was also saying: "Lord Annan, the musketeers are the key to defending Hell Mountain, and those infected soldiers can continue to fight after purifying the plague, so let's only send the seriously wounded soldiers back." ”

The two attacks of the Wind Rats and the Nezumi Men into the basement caused heavy casualties to the Hellfire, and there were only more than 2,000 soldiers left to fight, and they couldn't hold Hell Mountain at all...... Even if it is an increase of nearly 1,500 foreign aid.

"Then do as you say."

Annan gave Fermi full autonomy. He's trying to nurture the people around him, rather than turning them into echoworms.

For example, handing over official business to Olmedo and Itilia, is it true that Annan doesn't like to sit in the office all day and do boring official business?

"Don't rush out, we only have one chance!" Beryl's shout came, and he ran around the foreign helpers who were venting their energy and told them to collect their points, "Don't cast spells!" Don't cast spells! Don't cast spells! We continue to pretend to be weak, get ready to rush out and retake the camp, and make sure that the news of the portal doesn't get through to the nezumi! ”

"Beryl is now a staff officer of the Hellfire Legion. If it weren't for their advice, we wouldn't be able to make it this far. ”

"Something almost happened...... Annan blamed himself, "the portal time should be changed to once every six hours." ”

"Lord Annan......"

"I'm not leaving Liberty City anytime soon." Annan also didn't give Fermi a chance to object, "Tell me what supplies you need." ”

Fermi said, "Logs, rolling stones, everything that makes the nezumi unable to climb up the hillside. ”

"I see...... I'll be here for you in six hours. ”

The portal began to become unstable, and before Annan could inspire the foreign reinforcements, the portal was annihilated in front of him.

Fermi remained resolute and stared into the void for a few seconds before turning back.

This batch of reinforcements is almost all professionals, and there are a lot of elites and masters, otherwise it wouldn't have taken only a few minutes to suppress the nezumi near the passage.

"Adjutant, count the casualties again." Fermi tilted his head to speak, but no one answered.

"Where's Walter?"

He found that the adjutant who had been following him was gone.

"Did you say adjutant? He perished with a nezumi. "A soldier walked with a magic musket as a crutch and pointed at a disemboweled corpse more than ten meters awayβ€”

Already cold, Walter stabbed the Elite Rat in the mouth with a magic musket, and the Elite Rat's sword slashed through his belly.

Fermi sighed, "Who are you?" ”

"Report, I'm Lokren, a member of the thirteenth squad of the Hellfire Legion!" Loqueren quickly straightened up, only to pick up the magic musket crookedly in the next second.

"Why didn't you leave with the wounded?"

"I hurt my leg, not my hand!" Lokren said loudly.

Fermi bowed: "I appoint you as a temporary adjutant. Now go and count the casualties. ”

"Yes, sir!"

Lockren limped away.

The battle continued, and the warriors with tomahawks and meteor hammers pounced excitedly on the elite rats, and the rangers could not intervene and aimed at the ratmen pouring in through the passage.

Only the mages have nothing to do.

Nina was killing in the front row, and when she split the head of a canned rat with a tomahawk again, and swung it at the nezumi next to herβ€”

"I'm my own person!"

The fluency of the lingua franca made Nina uncomfortably retract the axe.

She didn't wait for the human-speaking rat to explain, for it then burrowed into the rat colony and continued to kill the rats.

"What's going on......" Nina scratched her head with the back of her axe in confusion, unable to figure it out, too lazy to get it, and continued to kill the other nezumi......

They were under the command of Staff Officer Belier and controlled the tempo.

Unless the nezumi start digging from somewhere else, the longer they hold out in the basement, the better things will be for them.

The temporary adjutant Loqueren returned with a new casualty report: "missing" about 500 people, of which seventy-seven were wounded who had been returned to Liberty City, but the centurion died almost a third......

Because they are professionals, they are at the forefront of the rat tide when it comes in.

Lokren walked over to a young soldier pushing away the corpse of an elite rat and reached out to pull him up.

"You actually shot......" he groped his chest, as if looking for a bullet hole.

"I can't wear plate armor." Lokren said.

Fermi silently carried the corpses with the soldiers, sending the corpses of his companions to the back, not mixing with the filthy nezumi.

"The broken tooth is gone."

Baryl ran over at this point, fearing that the nezumi would betray.

"Broken teeth aren't that kind of person......"

"It's not even human." Beryl never believed in nezumi.

Fermi didn't explain, and asked the soldier to find Miller.

"How's the rest of the front?" Fermi asked in passing.

"I don't know, we're out of touch with the outside world."

Miller was quickly brought in, and he looked bruised and swollen and wounded. The red-eyed soldier who had previously killed him couldn't tell the difference, and the foreign aid didn't know it - it was lucky that it was still alive.

"What about broken teeth?"

"I saw it squeeze out!"
