Chapter 148: 15 Days of Defense

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In Lecter City, a large number of soldiers of the Lieluo Army had gathered here.

Rowe and Romon stood among these soldiers, as they inspected the crowd.

Rowe then opened his mouth and spoke to the crowd.

“We are going to the Broken Cliff Mountain to save our brothers who were trapped on the mountain due to the heavy snow sealing off the mountain!

“I only have one request of you!

“You must come back alive!”

Rowe said with a heavy voice.

“I won’t fail the mission!”

Countless soldiers shouted out.

Their voices echoed throughout the whole of Lecter City.

Mike and Lilian were standing nearby, observing everything.

“I really didn’t expect such a heavy snowfall to seal the mountain!” Lilian said to Mike.

Mike replied, “Don’t worry! I believe that Sifusco and the others will come back safely!”

“How can you be so sure?” Lilian asked.

Mike forced a smile and said,?“I believe in Sifusco’s ability! His life will never die on that d*mned Broken Cliff Mountain!”

Although Mike had not known him for long, there was an extraordinary quality of perseverance in Sifusco.

That was the most precious thing in this chaotic world.

Besides, Sifusco himself was a powerful warrior.

Therefore, it was natural that Mike thought this way.

Even so, Mike’s heart was already in his throat.

Due to such a sudden change, anyone would think that the vanguard team had no chance of survival.

“Just wait and see, they will definitely return!”

Mike looked at Lilian and said firmly.

By now, the mighty army that was supporting the rescue of the vanguard team had already left Lecter City.

They quickly headed in the northwest direction of the Broken Cliff Mountain.

This time, the support team was led by Dali.

Although Dali had not thought highly of Sifusco before the vanguard team had set out, after the current situation...

Dali was worried for Sifusco as well.

However, as much as the people of the Lieluo Army wanted to save the vanguard team from Broken Cliff Mountain, at the moment, they felt helpless.

The only thing they could do now was to speed up their advance.

“Everyone, advance at full speed!”

Dali shouted to the reinforcements behind him.

“I hope everything is fine! You must come back alive!”

...

On Broken Cliff Mountain, at the back of the sentry tower, some of the soldiers were digging up the snow.

As for why they were doing this, the answer was obvious.

Behind these soldiers, were a large number of frozen corpses.

Some of these dead soldiers had frozen to death as they were digging the tunnel.

Some had been willing to starve to death just to save a mouthful of food.

The soldiers who were digging their graves did not have any tears on their faces.

Because of the cold weather, they did not dare to shed any tears.

The moment the tears fell, they would freeze into ice.

They suppressed the sadness in their hearts and continued to dig their brothers’ graves.

In the low hill not far from the sentry tower, a long tunnel had appeared in it.

Sifusco tenaciously stood in the tunnel, as he directed the remaining soldiers as they continued their excavation work.

Today was the fifteenth day of the excavation progress.

There were fewer than five hundred people left in the original eight hundred-man vanguard team.

At the back of the sentry tower, the snow that had buried more than three hundred people had already been piled up high.

“Just a little faster and we’ll be out of here soon!”

Sifusco thought to himself.

Suddenly, the two soldiers who were digging in front of them fell down once again.

The remaining eight soldiers completely ignored the two people who had fallen, but their expressions became extremely sad.

In fact, this was when Sifusco gave them an order.

“If there is a death during the excavation process, the others can not stop their work.”

In their hearts, these soldiers also knew this.

Every minute and second of their lives was exceptionally precious.

They could not stop their advancement because of a dead person.

The best consolation for these dead soldiers would be when everyone had safely left this place.

Sifusco strode forward.

Alone, he carried the two bodies, which were by now completely frozen, and walked towards the back of the sentry tower.

Sifusco slowly put down the bodies of the two soldiers.

Then, he closed their eyes and spoke to one of the soldiers who was digging the snow.

“Two more of our brothers have left.”

When the soldier who was digging the grave heard this, his heart trembled, but he did not respond much.

“Captain, I understand.”

The soldier replied simply.

After receiving the reply from the soldier, Sifusco let out a breath of cold air and walked towards the tunnel at the low hill.

“So, two more people have fallen?”

Sifusco sighed in his heart.

“I have completely failed as a Captain! I can’t even protect my own soldiers!”

Then, Sifusco gave himself a tight slap.

This slap was not only because he blamed himself, but also because he wanted to keep himself awake.

The remaining soldiers were getting worse and worse.

Many of the soldiers’ attitudes had become more and more negative.

It was only for this reason that Sifusco could only tell them over and over again,?“It’s almost done! It’s almost done!

“We can go back tomorrow!”

Suddenly, a soldier rushed out from the tower.

Behind him, a few other soldiers were chasing after him.

The soldier at the front shouted loudly.

“I can’t live anymore! I’m about to be freed! Hahahaha! Goodbye to this world!”

After that, the soldier jumped off the cliff without hesitation.

The soldiers behind him shouted as they chased after him.

“No! No!”

Unfortunately, it was too late. The soldier jumped and quickly disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Sifusco looked at the scene that had just happened before him, feeling completely heartbroken.

He slowly walked in the direction of where the soldier had jumped off.

Then, he clasped his hands together and closed his eyes, as though he was praying for him.

Suddenly, a loud voice sounded.

Everyone present turned to look in the direction of the voice.

They were all smiling as they looked in that direction.

The voice shouted,?“We’ve done it! We’ve done it! Captain, we’ve finally managed to dig through it!”
