After escorting the last family of refugees into the portal.
At the last moment when he disappeared, the whole family of five, old and young, looked at him with tears of gratitude. There was even a little girl who was a few years old. Until the last second before they left, she still held his hand tightly and cheered him on, giving him a fierce kiss on the cheek. All of this filled the player’s heart with pride.
It was a wonderful feeling because for a moment, the player really thought that he was not in a game made of virtual data, but in a real world.
With their hard work, tens of thousands of refugees from Red Flame Town were able to escape from the claws of the monsters and move to a safe place.
However, this feeling didn’t last long.
Because he was too immersed in his emotions in the next moment, he did not pay attention to the battlefield. If he was not careful, the Fallen Abyss monster would take advantage of the gap and push him to the ground.
Fortunately, a sharp sword came in time and pierced through the monster, saving him.
“Don’t get distracted, rookie!” Harvey casually threw the monster’s corpse on the sword to the side and then pulled the player up from the ground. Just like how the players felt about the world, the natives like Harvey had changed their attitude toward the players.
If he had mentioned the wonders of the outlanders in his letter to Mayor
Thorin before, he would have thought that he was exaggerating.
But now, Harvey felt that Sorin was still too conservative.
It was as if they had unlimited energy, did not Imow fatigue, and did not fear death. It could be said that they had held the portal for almost an hour. In the first half hour, the main force was the elite soldiers of Red Flame Town, but as time went on, the soldiers ‘physical strength gradually could not keep up. Instead, it was all thanks to the outlanders who fought more and more bravely that they could hold on for the second half hour and successfully complete the retreat plan.
Motherf * cker!
It seemed that in the future, these foreigners would have to be included in the recruitment list of the Knights. Moreover, they would have to be the key recruitment targets!
At the same time, he also asked Damir to get some information from Vivian and ask that little girl how she had such a great reputation among the foreigners.
He had to snatch her before the Fire God Sect and the nobles reacted!
The most difficult period had passed, and Harvey’s thoughts could not help but drift away. He began to think about the future.
After all, the refugees had all left. Next, they would be responsible for bringing up the rear. They would enter the teleportation gate and retreat. Finally, they would close the teleportation gate and complete the mission.
“Everyone, pay attention!”
“Shrink the defense line. We don’t have to accompany these ugly monsters anymore. Prepare to retreat! Return to Fire Code City!”
Under Harvey’s command, the soldiers and gamers let out a long sigh.
Seeing that victory was at hand, everyone gathered their strength and pushed back the Fallen Abyss monsters while approaching the Teleportation Gate.
“Damir, have you set the closing time of the portal?”
Harvey was only asking just in case. He believed that Damir would not neglect such an important matter.
However, Harvey did not get the response he had expected.
When he took a break from the battle and looked at Damir in surprise, Harvey’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the young mage breaking out in cold sweat and his lips trembling.
“Damir! What happened? Was there a problem with the asked anxiously, but Damir still had a muddleheaded expression.
Harvey immediately grabbed the mage by the collar and shouted in his ear,”
“Speak! Damir! What happened?”
“Pass… Teleportation Gate…l can’t close it…” The young mage sat on the ground with a thud.
“I also… I don’t know if something went wrong when I activated it, but why…Why is there no response to the instruction that my teacher taught me to shut down…
Damir had tried all sorts of methods an hour ago, but none of them worked. It was as if the magic had never been turned off from the very beginning.
On the other side, Harvey took a step back after hearing Damir’s words, his face filled with shock.
“You… Do you know what you are saying?”
Harvey, who had lost control of his emotions, lifted Damir up from the ground and pointed at the utterly lost Damir, who had surrounded Red Flame Town with a dense mass of Fallen Abyss creatures.
“Take a good look at these monsters. If you don’t close the portal, do you want them to follow us to Fire Law City for a tour?!”
“Then why did we work so hard before? Why did those soldiers die?”
“You… You!”
Liao Zixuan was right to insist that Vivian not touch the portal. Even with Damir and Harvey’s deep affections, Harvey almost drew his sword and cut Damir down after such a big mistake.
Even though the source was not on their side.
Fortunately, a clear stream of energy flowed out from the necklace on Harvey’s chest and instantly suppressed his anger, allowing Harvey to quickly calm down and regain his rationality.
This was one of the two pseudo-extraordinary items that Maggie had given him, the Focus Necklace.
He knew that it was useless to blame Damir. He had to think of a solution now. The necklace on his chest not only woke Harvey up, but also gave him a hint..
