496 Plan (1/2)
In fact, the others were also aware of this problem, Lahn included, or he wouldn't have tried to flee so urgently.
Unfortunately, Lahn understood that he couldn't escape after hearing Lin Yun and Thorne's discussion.
”What to do, what to do, what can we do…” In the end, he lost hope and went out of control. An esteemed 4th Rank Archmage was nothing more than a helpless child at such time. He held his head in his hands, a pale expression on his face as he painfully said, ”I don't want to die here…”
”Shut the hell up!” Thorne's expression was unsightly. In such a situation, even if he had been through countless battlefields, swept through every major plane and experienced leading numerous Planar Wars as a Commander, Thorne couldn't help becoming irascible when Lahn Merlin started to give in to despair and ruthlessly glared at him.
In fact, even he didn't know what to do...
The current situation was remarkably bad...
It was to the point where a feeling of powerlessness rose in this experienced Commander's heart.
”No one is willing to die here!” Thorne looked at Lahn, resentful towards him for failing to meet his expectations, before coldly saying, ”Although there is no way for now, it doesn't mean we have no opportunity. The greater the danger, the less we can succumb to chaos, a headless chicken like doesn't need to wait for the arrival of the Ice Field Mammoths, I might as well finish you off myself.”
After Thorne's strict rebuke, Lahn, whose emotions were out of control, gradually calmed down. But this 4th Rank Archmage was still somewhat depressed, despair plainly visible on his face.
”Now, everyone has to stick together, never separate. Only that way can we have a chance of staying alive..” Thorne looked at the white mist clouds and thunderous booming sounds slowly approaching. After finishing his words, his face was devoid of blood.
Even if they only had six people, they were all Archmage level powerhouses, such a line-up would be considered quite formidable in Okland, but he wasn't confident in facing over a thousand Ice Field Mammoths.
Although he was already an esteemed Sword Saint, after going through that nightmare, he was still fearful of those Grim Reaper Ice Field Mammoths.
”Rumble…”
The ice shook under their feet and the cracks widened and lengthened, that thunderous sound felt like doom announcing its entrance and everyone had alarm and terror plastered on their faces.
As the white mist rose higher in the air, the silhouettes of the Ice Field Mammoths appeared in everyone's line of sight. They could see those mountain-like monsters with long tusks charging across the Winter Ice Field, cracking the vast expanse of ice and sending shards flying.
This ice had been formed throughout the years and was extremely solid, even some newly advanced Archmages might need to spend a lot of power and all kinds of spells to be able to shatter it, but those Ice Field Mammoths only needed to run to burst it, this showed how terrifying their raw strength was...
Hundreds of Ice Field Mammoths sieged them from all directions, their limbs heavily trampling the ice field as they were dashing at maximum speed, and letting out deafening roars.
”Coming, coming… They are already here, have you thought of a good plan?” Lahn was panicking, shouting and shrieking, despair on his face.
The people in the team answered with silence, they were all nervously looking around, those long tusked mountain-like monsters looked extremely fierce.
The momentum displayed by over a thousand mammoths was indeed scary. Even if only for a moment, most of them had already thoroughly gave up resisting.
Maybe no one noticed that the silent Lin Yun was frowning, gazing into the distance, entranced, as if he wasn't caring about those charging mammoths.
”High Mage Mafa, Mafa…” Thorne shouted twice, but he suddenly discovered that the other side simply wasn't answering to him. At such a crucial time, the young mage was actually absent-minded, 'Does he not know how bad the situation is?'
But Thorne didn't get angry and quickly moved over, he coughed, wanting to say something, but he then saw the youngster calmly turning towards him.
”Sir Thorne, I know what you want to say…”
”You…” Thorne suddenly froze, how could he not understand, the situation was so dangerous yet the young mage was so calm, despite what was happening.
Could it be, the young mage thought of something?
Thorne felt somewhat worried, he squeezed an unsightly smile at the young mage and calmly waited for the young mage to talk again.
He didn't have to wait long as the young mage's voice echoed a few seconds later, ”I have a way…”
Although Lin Yun's voice was very soft, it clearly transferred to everyone's ears. In a flash, everyone nervously looked at him. His words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, sending waves in everyone's minds.
”What… What do you mean…” Thorne flushed, unable to stop his voice from getting louder.
”This plan might not guarantee everyone's safety, but this is our best way…” Lin Yun's expression was as calm as before as he pointed towards the north, ”We need to go two kilometers north, moreover we have to attract all the Ice Field Mammoths over. As for the reason, I don't have the time to explain.”
Hearing this, their expressions turned somewhat unsightly.
