Alien world

Chapter 1631 Chapter 264. I want to see him alive or his body dead

Of the hundreds of people who remained in the caves in the canyon, only less than sixty were found alive.

The Blackwatch soldier was unwilling to give up and continued to check everyone over and over again.

Kirlian thought it was okay - there would be no disappointment without hope. He expected that no one would survive, so being able to rescue more than 50 survivors was beyond his imagination.

The deputy lit a second and third bonfire to warm up the entire cave. He also took off five or six layers of clothes from the survivors, leaving only one single piece of clothing.

Their limbs were like fruits left outside in the winter, a horrifying black and purple color. After being roasted for more than ten minutes, they swelled to the size of elephants, and they uttered unconscious groans of pain in a coma.

Without treatment, they won't last long.

"Please start casting the spell."

Iselamar nodded, exited the cave, restored his true form, squeezed out his cousin Serius, and activated the power of his dragon body.

A milky white light like holy light emerged in the cave, and the light spots sprinkled on the survivors whose bodies were swollen and their limbs were necrotic.

The survivors, who had fluid accumulated under their skin like water bags, became visibly shriveled, and their skin became wrinkled as if they had been soaked in water for several hours.

The pain disappeared from their faces. Although the survivors didn't wake up immediately, everyone's injuries had stabilized. They should be sent back for recuperation and treatment as soon as possible. Maybe they will be fine after a while.

The Black Watch soldier returned to the campfire, his face looking neither crying nor smiling, but more confused.

Kirlian could understand his feelings. The Black Watch, one of the eight imperial guards, was an invincible force in the hearts of countless people, but in the end only a hundred people survived...

What was worse than almost total annihilation was that almost all the casualties were non-combat casualties. The soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but instead died in the conspiracy of the ratmen and... the betrayal behind them.

To some extent, the Skaven's trap was indeed successful, tearing a piece of flesh from the Empire.

"There is still a team outside, we must rescue them..." Edwin whispered after regaining some consciousness.

"You mean Team Tom?"

The Blackwatch soldier asked, and after a brief silence, he said, "I'm afraid they've already..."

"We have to find their bodies, we can't abandon our comrades!" Edwin's excited voice echoed in the cave.

"Sorry, we can't do that..."

"why?"

Because he was too excited, he started coughing violently. Edwin's painful cough was accompanied by the sound of splashing water, which was heart-wrenching.

"Calm down, they are not the Imperial Army."

After coughing and retching for a few times, Edwin finally stopped and covered his head with his splitting headache: "Not the Imperial Army? How could it be..."

Kirlian spoke up at this moment: "The Empire cannot come for the time being. We are soldiers from Liberty City. We found the people you sent out for help on the west coast, and we followed them to rescue them."

The Black Watch soldier explained the whole thing, but Albek never woke up. The survivors who regained consciousness listened to him quietly and finally understood why it was the Liberty City Army instead of the Imperial Army that came.

"Deputy Commander, you said there are spies inside the empire, right?" Edwin looked at Kyrian.

"That's right... So for safety's sake, Lord Annan didn't tell the Empire and acted alone."

The survivors looked at each other and clenched their fists weakly.

No wonder the Imperial Guards were so powerless to resist. It turns out there were spies helping the rat people!

"Annan did the right thing..."

A weak voice sounded, and Edwin turned his head in surprise: "Lord Albek, are you awake?"

"Are these the only ones left?"

Albek glanced at the silhouettes in front of the three bonfires, his eyes dim.

The others were silent. "Do you know Lord Annan?" Kirian asked him.

"We fought side by side at the Northern Wall for a while. The traps set against the Legion smelled of demonic sulfur... I guess it was not only the ratmen and spies who set them up, but also demons.

"Given their treachery, if you tell the Empire, it is very likely that other legions will fall into new traps."

Albek spoke very slowly and took several breaths after each paragraph.

"The devil is so smart?"

Kylian was surprised. It was not that he underestimated the enemy. It was mainly because there were several trainee devils in Liberty City who told jokes about devils all day long. One day, the fire demon led his subordinates to attack the devil fortress. After fighting for several months, they finally pried open the fortress gate and were ready to feast on it, but found that there were friendly troops in the fortress.

The Flame Demon thought about it and decided to eat it with relish.

Any creature with normal thinking logic will realize that there is something wrong with this joke - both sides are demons, can't they tell them apart during a fight?

This is where this devil joke insults the devil.

Albek did not deny it: "Demons are not very smart, but if there is a smart commander, many shortcomings can be made up..."

"Like this series of traps, I guess the six-armed snake demon is behind it."

Six-armed snake demon?

Kirlian's eyes lit up. He knew that Annan was obsessed with the six-armed snake demon. If he could catch one and bring it back to Annan as a gift...

Albek asked some more questions, and Kyrian told him everything he knew, such as the fact that the Black Watch commander and the chief mage were taken back to Montreal Mountain for questioning.

Albek seemed relieved: "It seems that there are some things that spies dare not do too thoroughly..."

After a moment's thought, Kirlian guessed what Albek meant.

Letting them return to Montreal Mountain at this time is equivalent to protecting them. Although the Black Watch Corps is almost wiped out, as long as the two legends are or, they will get up again one day.

If even the legion commander and the chief mage "encounter an accident"... the name "Black Watch" will disappear completely.

"The war is not over yet." The Black Watch soldier said, "We have to go back and continue fighting..."

"I'll join." Edwin was the first to respond.

"Take me one."

Albek didn't say anything, but his attitude spoke volumes.

The grain porridge was cooked, and Kirlian and his companions fed each survivor some food, ensuring that their vital signs were stable, and then prepared to embark on their journey home.

"Team Tom...is there really no other way?" Edwin refused to give up because his brother was in the team.

"We don't have that much time." Kirian murmured.

When setting out, Fermi said that the corps would stay on the coastline to attract the enemy's attention, and would retreat if the enemy became too strong.

The place where they landed was the heart of the demon base, and it seemed that the Hellfire Legion would not be able to hold out for long.

"I'll look for it!"

The eldest cousin, who finally found an opportunity to show off, spoke loudly.

"Then split up,"

"My cousin and I will go to the north to find your team. You go back with Lord Blue Dragon."

"No need. We haven't heard from them for so long. I'm afraid they have disappeared in the snowstorm." Albek took the initiative to speak, and Edwin lowered his head in silence.

As Edwin suddenly raised his head, Kirlian said:
"Lord Annan has given Hellfire the task of finding you. I want you to be found alive or dead."
