Chapter 143: Advancing Into Broken Cliff Mountain
As the snow had been falling continuously recently, time seemed to move forward silently but rapidly.
This did not leave any chance for people to catch their breath.
At the moment, Lecter City was also covered in white snow, which turned the entire city into a pure white snow city.
At Lecter Square, a secretly assembled team was now ready to go.
Everyone was covered in snow-white fur.
From a distance, they looked as if they had become one with the entire world of ice and snow.
Sifusco was the leader of this team, so he was currently in the process of doing a headcount of his people.
“Everyone is here! Let’s get ready to set off!” Sifusco announced loudly to the people in front of him.
Then, just like that, the team of eight hundred people walked out of Lecter City.
In the administrative building of Lecter City, Romon and Rowe were observing the scene at Lecter Square that was in the distance.
Looking at the team that was making its way out, Rowe said with satisfaction, “Finally, this day has come!”
He looked at Romon, with eyes that were filled with joy.
Naturally, achieving victory in the war would be extremely intense. However, the main thought that was actually in Romon’s mind was the hope that this team could return safely.
Sifusco was a man who was extremely calm.
Although he was not an immortal cultivator, his power was already comparable to the Nameless soldiers.
“I just hope this battle will be a little easier!” Romon replied calmly.
In a house in Lecter City, Mike, Lilian, and the Nameless Saint were in the middle of a discussion.
Looking at the Nameless Saint, Mike asked, “Mr. Nameless Saint, what do you think of Sifusco?”
Hearing Mike’s question, the Nameless Saint smiled as he gave his reply.
“He is very strong. He can even reach the same level of strength as immortal cultivators without needing to rely on cultivation.
“In addition, he is also a person who is neither arrogant nor impatient. He truly has a great future!”
Hearing the Nameless Saint’s words, Mike felt encouraged and continued, “So, do you think that the final victory of this war will belong to us?”
After a moment of thought, the Nameless Saint shook his head.
“On the battlefield, everything changes in an instant. Without seeing an absolute advantage, none of us can say for sure what the final result will be!”
The Nameless Saint walked towards the window.
Staring at the white snow, he could not help but sigh.
“The weather has changed!”
…
On Broken Cliff Mountain, the stealth unit was slowly advancing up the mountain.
This unit was the vanguard team led by Sifusco.
By now, this stealth unit had already arrived at the halfway point of the Broken Cliff Mountain.
Looking up the mountain, the raging snow was fiercely hitting at everyone.
Among their ranks, countless warriors were also succumbing to the extreme cold.
The winter in the northwest was very cold. It was so cold that no one even wanted to open their eyes.
Seeing that the vanguard team that he was leading did not seem to be in good condition, Vanguard addressed them.
“Everyone, hold on! We are about to reach the top of the mountain!”
However, no one from the remaining team replied.
The morale of the team seemed to be poor, but Sifusco was unable to do anything about it at the moment.
If they did not take down the defensive point of Broken Cliff Mountain as soon as possible, they would undoubtedly freeze to death halfway up the mountain.
Obviously, it was impossible to turn back now.
Everyone had gone through a lot of hardship to even come this far.
If they chose to turn back now, they would probably die halfway anyway.
Sifusco took another look at the defense point of Broken Cliff Mountain that was overhead and shouted out.
“Let’s take down this defense point as soon as possible! That way, we can rest early! Everyone, keep up the good work! We’re almost there!”
After his rousing words, the morale of the vanguard team seemed to recover a little.
Numerous bodies had been buried within the steep Broken Cliff Mountain.
Some of the owners of these unknown skeletons could have fallen due to a misstep, while others might have been killed while executing a failed sneak attack, thus abandoning them here.
The path ahead became steeper and steeper, but the vanguard team led by Sifusco could now already see the sentry tower that had been set up here at the defensive point of Broken Cliff Mountain.
The moment everyone spotted the sentry tower, it seemed as if the hope of survival had appeared before them. This led to a trace of their fighting spirits being rekindled in their hearts.
However, just as everyone was about to reach the top, Sifusco suddenly raised his hand to signal for everyone to stop.
Sifusco began to observe everything on the sentry tower.
He calculated the timing of the attack and the actual battle plan that was to follow.
“Are there only fewer than twenty people there?” Sifusco said faintly.
For some reason, Sifusco felt a hint of unease in his heart.
However, when he thought of his soldiers in the vanguard team who were suffering from the cold, he silently made a risky decision in his heart.
He then opened his mouth and announced to the people behind him.
“There are fewer than twenty Empire soldiers on the sentry tower in front of us. Everyone, follow me and charge ahead!”
“Alright!”
When the vanguard team heard Sifusco’s words, they quickly agreed.
The eight hundred-man vanguard team, all dressed in snow-white fur, had now reached the peak of the Broken Cliff Mountain.
A group of people charged into the sentry tower.
The imperial soldiers of the Empire in the sentry tower did not have time to think before they were killed one by one by the numerous members of the vanguard team that had appeared in front of them.
Very quickly, all the imperial soldiers that numbered fewer than twenty people were annihilated and fell into a pool of their own blood in the sentry tower.
The sentry tower was very large and was enough to accommodate this vanguard team of eight hundred people.
After the vanguard team had completely disposed of all the imperial soldiers, all of them began to gather around the fire.
Deep in thought, Sifusco observed the scene in front of him and the fallen imperial soldiers.
Sifusco wondered, ‘Why do I have this constant bad feeling?’
Suddenly, a junior soldier of the vanguard team carried a bag of things as he ran towards Sifusco.
Excitedly he said, “Captain! We found a large amount of food here!”
Then, he pointed to something in the distance.
Looking in the direction that the man was pointing at, Sifusco saw a warehouse-like place that was filled with food.
Suddenly, a thought came to his mind and he immediately shouted to the crowd.
“Everyone, run!
“Everyone, quickly follow me and leave this place!”
