“Did you dig through it? Did you really dig through it?”


  Sifusco roared loudly as he ran towards the direction of the tunnel.

  When Sifusco reached the tunnel, sure enough, a ray of light was coming through the end of the tunnel towards the interior.

  Looking at the scene in front of him, Sifusco became unusually excited.

  “Great! We can finally leave this place!

  “Do your best and speed up! I’m going to gather the remaining brothers in the sentry tower!”


  Sifusco informed the people who were still digging.

  Then, Sifusco immediately turned around and walked towards the sentry tower.

  “Sigh, if this had happened earlier, that soldier wouldn’t have had to die!” Sifusco thought sadly in his heart.

  Although he was feeling very sad, making sure that the rest of the people who were left now was the most important thing that Sifusco should do.

  He pushed open the gate of the sentry tower.

  What greeted his eyes was a lifeless scene.

  Countless soldiers had collapsed on the ground and were weakly looking at the sky.

  Immediately, Sifusco opened his mouth and announced to everyone, “Everyone, pack up! We’re ready to leave!”


  After hearing Sifusco’s words, the spirits of the people who had collapsed on the ground finally lifted.

  “Captain… has the tunnel… been dug?”


  One of the soldiers who had collapsed on the ground stretched out a hand and said to Sifusco.

  Sifusco immediately walked forward, took his hand, and said, “Yes, it’s almost done. We can go home now!”


  “Home… we can finally… we can finally go home!”


  The soldier smiled, but after he uttered his last word in his trembling voice, his heart stopped beating.

  Sifusco held onto the soldier’s cold hand.

  At the moment, he could no longer bear the sadness in his heart.

  “Wake up! Quickly, wake up! We can go home! Please, don’t be silent!”


  Sifusco grasped the dead soldier’s hand as he shouted.

  His tears flowed uncontrollably and fell on the soldier’s body.

  However, no matter how much Sifusco shouted, the soldier could not reply any longer.

  “It’s useless, Captain, he’s already dead!” Said a soldier as he walked to Sifusco’s side.

  Hearing this, Sifusco finally restrained his current emotions and closed the soldier’s eyes.

  Then, he stood up and said to the remaining soldiers.

  “Brothers, we’re going home!”


  …


  Sifusco was standing at the exit of the tunnel in the low hill, waiting for the soldiers who were still alive to evacuate.

  After all the soldiers had completely evacuated from the tunnel, Sifusco said again.

  “Let’s go! We’re going home!”


  Then, the vanguard team of about four hundred and thirty people walked down Broken Cliff Mountain.

  The snow was white, and the snowflakes were still dancing in the sky.

  The remaining team led by Sifusco had finally reached the halfway point of the mountain.

  On the way down, the exhausted soldiers started to collapse, one after another.

  Sifusco knew that he could not stop because of them.

  So he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, as he continued to move forward.

  The road ahead was very long and very far.

  As they sped up, they could see the road at the bottom of the mountain.

  As the altitude started decreasing, Sifusco could also feel the temperature slowly rising.

  Although it was still cold, compared to the bitter cold on Broken Cliff Mountain, the temperature at the foot of the mountain could be described as warm.

  As he descended the mountain, Sifusco would occasionally look around at the surrounding trees.

  Even though Sifusco knew that there would not be an ambush from the Empire in such bad weather, he persisted in observing his surroundings for the safety of the remaining soldiers,

  Suddenly, Sifusco sensed a powerful force approaching him from the front.

  That force was extremely scattered and looked like an army of thousands of soldiers.

  “Take cover! Everyone take cover! There might be enemies ahead!”


  Sifusco warned.

  When the remaining soldiers heard Sifusco’s words, they all became cautious.

  They were afraid of losing their lives just like that.

  Hence, they all started to look for cover to shield themselves and prevent themselves from being exposed.

  Not long after, a large group of soldiers walked towards them.

  It was then that Sifusco discovered that this team was not one of the Empire’s ambush troops, but the rescue troops led by Dali.

  “It’s Commander Dali! Commander Dali is here to save us!”


  One of the soldiers said excitedly.

  When Sifusco saw Dali, a sincere smile finally appeared on his face.

  “You guys are finally here!”


  Dali, who was walking in front of his troops, spotted the remaining members of the vanguard team led by Sifusco.

  He rushed towards them like he was crazy.

  “It’s Sifusco and the others! Everyone, follow me to the rescue!”


  Dali said excitedly to the rescue troops behind him.

  When the two teams met, there was an uncontrollable flow of hot blood and hot tears.

  Sifusco slowly stumbled towards Dali.

  “You’ve finally come to save us… Commander Dali!”


  Sifusco said in a weak and trembling voice.

  Dali was about to say something when Sifusco suddenly collapse.

  Dali rushed to pick Sifusco up.

  Dali checked Sifusco’s pulse and finally felt relieved.

  “Fortunately, you’ve only fainted. If you died, how would I explain it to the two leaders?”


  Then, Dali put Sifusco on his horse.

  Dali then announced to everyone.

  “Brothers! Let’s go home! We’re going home!”


  After Dali said that, everyone slowly walked in the direction of Lecter City.

  …


  Above the city gates of Lecter City, Rowe, Romon, and Lecter were standing there waiting anxiously.

  Suddenly, they spotted in the distant snowstorm, a vast and mighty team that was rushing over.

  The moment Rowe saw them, he immediately shouted.

  “Open the city gate!”


  The three of them quickly ran down towards the city gates.

  When the city gates opened, a familiar face appeared before their eyes.

  “Leaders, General Lecter, Sifusco has come back late and made you worry.”
