Chapter 106: Despair and Hope
Translator: 549690339
“Calm down! Everyone calm down!”
“Don’t all rush forward. Enter in batches! Enter in batches!” Commander Harvey shouted at the chaotic teleportation gate.
But even if Harvey shouted loudly, the situation did not improve at all.
Whether it was the news sent by the sentries from the front line or the increasingly obvious tremors on the ground, fear had spread rapidly among the tens of thousands of refugees in Red Flame Town.
The crowd that had been obeying orders and queuing up in an orderly manner was now terrified and in a mess.
They all knew that the terrifying monsters from the Dreadclaw Forest were rushing toward Red Flame Town at an extremely fast speed.
Under the threat of death, everyone wanted to hurry through the portal to the safe Fire Code City, so they all tried their best to squeeze through the portal at the center.
But this led to…
“Mommy…Sob, sob, sob…Mom, where are you?”
“Stop! Let me stand up. You, you stop stepping on me! Ah…”
“Die…Someone died! ”
“Get out of the way!”
The teleportation gate was only so big, and tens of thousands of people were squeezing in at the same time, which naturally caused the teleportation efficiency to be even worse.
Furthermore, countless people had already died in the stampede before the Fallen Abyss monsters could attack.
Fear itself was far more terrifying than a terrifying monster.
“Damn it! Why were these monsters always fine before, but at this moment! “Harvey punched the tree next to him.
His sharp intuition had already allowed Harvey to sense a few abnormalities behind him. But now, Harvey had no time to think. He had to stop the chaos in Red Flame Town first.
“Damir!” Harvey tried to use a roar to wake up Damir, who was completely stunned by the shock.
“Damir!”
Unfortunately, the young mage was still in a daze, as if he hadn’t heard anything.
Damir couldn’t be blamed for this. When tens of thousands of terrified, fearful, and crazed faces surrounded you and surged in front of you, not everyone could be as calm and composed as Harvey.
Of course, the solution to this situation was very simple.
Pa!
Harvey directly slapped the young mage’s face, almost sending his fragile body flying.
However, the burning pain finally pulled Damir back to reality.
“Use your magic and think of something! ”
“Oh… Okay, it’s… Yes!
Damir only reacted after he came back to his senses. He racked his brains and quickly searched for spells that he could use at the moment.
Fortunately, the mage here was Damir, who had a huge amount of magic reserves. If it was any other Fire God Church Spell Caster, they would not be able to do anything in such a short time even if they racked their brains.
After all, the Fire God was not good at pacifying the mind. That was the domain of the Water God and the Rock God.
A senes or Incantation synaD1es came trom Danur’s moutn, ancl tne magic power formed a corresponding spell under the combination of the incantation.
“Soul Shriek!”
It was the rarest of the Tier 2 Psychic Spells. Its main function was to intimidate the opponent in battle, so as to achieve the goal of temporarily slowing the opponent down.
As expected of the son of the future version, the number one genius mage of Fire Code City. Damir relied on his knowledge to temporarily suppress the situation.
An invisible soul sound wave spread out with the young mage at the center, radiating to the chaotic crowd around the portal.
In an instant, all the crowding and trampling stopped. The panicked expressions on the refugees ‘faces disappeared, replaced by confusion.
“Soldiers! Gather!”
“Maintain order!”
There was no time to praise Mill’s performance. Harvey took advantage of the temporary silence of the refugees to quickly organize the guards of Red Flame Town to restore order and rescue those who were injured in the chaos.
The situation finally took a turn for the better. Although there were still one or two local disturbances, it was generally stabilized.
After the first time, no matter how scared the refugees were, they were no longer as crowded as before. They knew that if this continued, everyone would be finished.
Under the command of Harvey and Mayor Thorin, the teleportation team slowly began to move in an orderly manner.
It seemed like everything was developing for the better.
But…
At this moment.
Another change occurred!
A deafening roar of a giant dragon resounded in the sky. Even though it was far away, it still seemed to be right in the ears of everyone in Red Flame Town.
Damir, Harvey, and Lin…
Hundreds of closed beta players…
Tens of thousands of refugees lined up to escape through teleportation…
Everyone subconsciously looked toward the source of the dragon’s roar, which was the Dreadclaw Forest.
And then…
It was as if he had just lit a match in the cold night, but in the next moment, it was mercilessly blown out by the whistling cold wind.
When the Fallen Abyss Bone Dragon flew out of its nest and spread its sky-covering bone wings in the air, it appeared.
Even though they could only see a vague outline in the distance, it didn’t stop them from bringing despair to everyone in Red Flame Town.
It was as if disaster and destruction were one, making it impossible for anyone to resist. They were like ants in front of the other party, without any room for struggle.
Even Harvey, who had been calm in the face of danger, subconsciously thought of running when he saw the Fallen Abyss Bone Dragon floating in the air.
Of course, his second thought was…
Close the portal!
He had to close the portal immediately!
Initially, Harvey had wanted to take a gamble and stop the monsters from coming out of the forest in full force, buying time for the refugees to teleport and retreat.
However, when the Bone Dragon appeared, even though Harvey’s emotions were frantically trying to stop it, his rationality still told him that he had failed.
The Teleportation Portal plan had failed.
Tms was Decause tne Bone Dragon’s target was 0Dxnous1Y Kea Flame Town. m addition, the monsters that had suddenly gone berserk as soon as the portal opened.
Harvey immediately guessed the terrifying truth.
Could it be that these festered monsters were waiting for this moment? Their target was not the mere Red Flame Town, but the teleportation gate in Red Flame Town.
They… He wanted to use this portal to go to Fire Code City!
Harvey and Mayor Thorin’s eyes met in the air. They both realized this at the same time, and they saw the determination in each other’s eyes.
He absolutely could not allow this bone dragon to descend upon Fire Code City!
Even if he had to give up his own life, even if he had to give up the lives of the tens of thousands of refugees in Fire Code City, he would still have to… He closed the portal and shut off their last hope of escape.
“Damir!”
“Shut…”
Harvey clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He hadn’t even uttered a complete ” shut down ” yet.
In the next moment, he could not make a sound.
That was because…
The scene that scared everyone in Crimson Flame Town and dumbfounded all the closed beta players happened again.
It was this Bone Dragon that had just appeared and floated in the air, as if it was the embodiment of disaster. However, when people blinked their eyes again, they were shocked to discover that this Bone Dragon seemed to have been firmly grabbed by something at its tail.
Then, the classic scene of Hulk smashing someone appeared in the minds of every closed beta player.
It was not exactly the same, but it was almost exactly the same.
The Bone Dragon had only been awe-inspiring for a few seconds before it let out another painful scream.
Then, a huge force came from the dragon’s tail, directly spinning the bone dragon in the air. After drawing a semi-arc, it was finally thrown back into the forest on the ground.
Boom!
Accompanied by a heavy thud like muffled thunder, a large amount of dust flew up and instantly enveloped the depths of the forest in the distance.
The commotion was so great that it even covered the tremors of the ground caused by the Fallen Abyss monsters running wildly. It was also possible that all the Fallen Abyss monsters stopped moving at this moment and turned their heads to look at the depths of the forest where they had fallen. “What the f * Ck are you all still doing here?”
Commander Harvey was the first to wake up from the shock. He roared angrily, waking up many of the dazed refugees and guards.
“Hurry up! Hurry, now!”
“Everyone, get into the portal! “Harvey didn’t care about cursing people anymore. Or rather, this was the time where cursing was needed.
With the Bone Dragon gone, the Teleportation Gate naturally did not have to be so cruel as to close.
Harvey looked at Red Flame Town, which had been pulled back from the cliff.
The highest commander of the knights took one last deep look in the direction of the Dreadclaw Forest, where the terrifying bone dragon had not flown since it was dragged to the ground.
“No matter who you are…”
Harvey muttered to himself, but he quickly added.
“Or perhaps…What is it?”
“But I, Harvey, will remember this favor. The entire Red Flame Town and Fire Code City will remember it!
“Thank you..
“He didn’t make us sinners.”
Harvey felt a lingering fear just thinking about it. They were so close, so close, to having Damir close the portal in order to prevent the skeletal dragon, to shut off everyone’s hope.
Because if they really did that, even if Fire Code City was temporarily safe, they would definitely become the target of hatred for the tens of thousands of refugees in Red Flame Town.
However…
What Harvey didn’t know was that he was just a little bit off, but it wasn’t luck at all.
Instead…
It was destined.
Bean-sized beads of sweat appeared on Damir’s forehead. His lips trembled as he looked at the backs of Harvey and Mayor Thorin, who were busy giving instructions. He wanted to say something but didn’t dare to.
Because even though Harvey hadn’t said the words to close the portal, Damir still understood and prepared to release the closing spell.
This was also the reason why he had such an unprecedented expression of fear.
The others didn’t know, but Damir did.
He was…
He didn’t know why, but it seemed like his closing magic had a negative effect on the portal..
It’s not working!
