Alien world

Chapter 1617 Chapter 250. Fire
Watching these well-equipped, tall elite warriors meticulously catching up with the ratmen, slaughtering them without any unnecessary movements, and finishing off the injured ratmen, the soldiers of the empire seemed to be seeing their former selves in a trance.

A team of red angels came towards them with a clear goal.

Gary took a deep breath and was about to speak when a soldier stepped forward.

"Are you soldiers from Liberty City?" he asked tentatively.

Iconic muskets, sophisticated standard troops, no one would do this except that warlock brother.

But when did his army become so powerful?

Clearly, a year ago they had to rely on making... a trade with the rat people to get the second place.

The captain took off his helmet, and the hot sweat he produced quickly turned into rising mist in the cold of the Far North.

"I am Link, the Centurion of the Hellfire Legion. Are you..."

He was equally hesitant and didn't dare to confirm. After all, the soldiers were not much better than the refugees now.

"We are soldiers of the Black Watch."

Link breathed a sigh of relief and asked his deputy to signal the reconnaissance aircraft overhead, notifying the legion commander: Confirm the target.

it is finally over.

The soldiers felt relieved. The gunfire on the beach began to thin out and was coming to an end.

"Are... you the only ones left?" Link asked.

He was a veteran of Hellfire and had participated in the original expedition. He knew the size of the Blackwatch. There were only less than sixty people in front of him, and they were still being escorted.

Where are the others, have they dispersed?

"Also! We are here to contact reinforcements!"

Since it concerns their companions, they are unable to remain calm and orderly and all talk at once about the situation.

Link was so confused that he had to interrupt the voices: "Our legion commander is right behind us, you can talk to him."

He led his defeated soldiers to Fermi.

Fermi listened quietly as they came out of the mountains at a heavy price. It seemed that the situation was more troublesome than he had imagined.

"Where are the empire's reinforcements?" A soldier looked around, trying to find a familiar figure.

As long as the Imperial legions arrive, everything will be fine.

Even though this is the devil's base.

Unexpectedly, the commander of the Hellfire Legion said: "There are no imperial reinforcements, only us."

"How can it be……"

Only Gary suddenly realized: "There is a spy?"

Femi looked at Gary standing in the crowd and nodded: "The Empire is currently cleaning up internal instability factors. My king is worried that informing the Empire at this time will harm you, so we are the only ones left."

"Where are the Legion Commander and Master Xingmang!?"

"They were taken to Montreal Hill and examined. The charge was... treason."

"This is impossible!"

This is of course impossible, but it is enough to illustrate the brutal clash of forces within the empire, and even such a big man is not immune.

In this situation, how can Liberty City trust the Empire?
It can even be said that Liberty City is helping the Empire under pressure.

There was no time to be grateful. The hopes that had just risen among the Blackwatch soldiers dimmed again. Did they have to rely on these people before them?

They did not deny that the Hellfire Legion had made amazing progress. After a year, they were able to annihilate an elite rat force that had doubled in number without any casualties. However, strength was always the only criterion...

Their power is based on false strength. Apart from anything else, a fully-equipped Black Watch team can easily rush into their ranks and start a massacre...

But no one would blame their savior, and the Blackwatch soldiers whispered to each other and soon made up their minds. "Please give us some food, clothes, armor, and weapons."

"You are in very bad condition." Fermi looked at the bloodshot in their eyes.

Being able to travel thousands of miles in the Far North with just a few pieces of clothing and come to us, each of them is worthy of the title of elite, but they are all at the end of their strength and will sleep for days and nights once they fall down.

Otherwise, dozens of elites would not have been surrounded by a group of ratmen without even thinking of resisting.

"They are still waiting for us."

It seems that faith is also the reason that supports them to get here.

"Are you sure they're still alive?"

There was a brief silence, then Fermi spoke, his words tinged with ice by the cold wind.

"What did you say!" A soldier glared angrily.

Fermi looked calm, even though the opponent was stronger than him, as if he was the superior one.

A true commander who has experienced the trials of blood and fire, nothing can move him.

The leader of these Black Watch soldiers, who was also the soldier in the previous conversation, expressed a trace of pain: "I... can't be sure."

"Stevens, what are you talking about!" many people asked anxiously.

"Mr. Albek reminded me that if things don't go right... don't look back."

The officer called Stevens lowered his head, and his body, which did not tremble in the biting cold wind, was now shaking.

"We are hope and also the spark..."

The Blackwatch soldiers showed signs of grief, but no one said anything.

The Black Watch Corps has strict rules and obeying orders is their duty.

"understood……"

Fermi listened quietly, then tilted his head and ordered, "Krian, you send the wounded back. I will lead the others north to look for other survivors."

Kirian shook his head. "I have survived alone in the wilds of the North for several months. I have more experience than you. I will lead the team."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Femi didn't argue about who would "die": "You take a few blue dragons and find other survivors as quickly as possible. We will stay here and attract the attention of the rat people."

The Blackwatch soldiers died along the way, and were covered in ice and snow so that they were invisible to the naked eye. The ratmen would definitely be able to find them through a carpet search.

They have to race against time with the enemy.

The Blackwatch soldiers were stunned. They almost thought they had to abandon their comrades who were still in the mountains.

Without Imperial reinforcements, they had little hope.

At this moment, many people truly identified with the Hellfire Legion, believing that they were a powerful legion that could rival the Blackwatch Legion.

Even though it is still weak, the will is strong.

Half of the ten blue dragons were divided, and Kyrian only took two people, a Black Watch soldier and an assistant, both of whom climbed onto Cousin Serius. The remaining four blue dragons carried the survivors, who were in short supply, including food, medicine, and clothing.

They set off, flying north, following the guidance of a Black Watch soldier who adamantly stated he remembered where he came from.

Femi retracted his gaze and continued to ask the Black Watch soldier beside him about the details of their escape.

"You mean the Forbidden Magic Area has existed since the beginning, and you weren't banished directly to the Far North?"

Warp... No wonder the Imperial Guard suffered such a terrible loss.

If it was a complete Blackwatch Corps, the harsh environment alone would not have allowed them to be nearly destroyed. He had previously thought that the Blackwatch Corps had been dispersed by the enemy, but... only these were left.
