Chapter 406: Chapter 378: The Great Retreat of “Mist Gate”! (9.2K, huge chapter!)_3 Chapter 406: Chapter 378: The Great Retreat of “Mist Gate”! (9.2K, huge chapter!)_3 “Stop killing, stop killing! Didn’t you see the retreat task? If we get left behind, we probably won’t be able to leave!”

“Brothers, pay attention to the notifications in front of you! A little brother might regrow, but if you’re gone, you’re really gone. Retreat quickly!”

“Regroup halfway up the mountain!”

In the midst of shouts and cries, some bloodthirsty individuals finally took notice of the notifications.

After that, the retreat officially began!

Apart from some who were still reviving and those whose minds or mental states had been slightly affected by overuse of various items, everyone, upon seeing the potentially endless respawn time that might arise, chose to follow their innermost desires, put down their killing intent, and gathered for the retreat…

Just like someone said, a little brother might regrow, but if the big brother is gone, he’s really gone.

“Whoosh!”

A fireball, as large as a little sun and over fifteen meters in diameter, rose on the battlefield.

In the warmth of the firelight, those who were not seriously muddled quickly recovered, and then, with the assistance of some company employees, escaped from the battlefield, while those who were severely muddled…

Let’s deal with them first.

After all, reviving only takes a few minutes, maybe ten at most. In such chaotic situations, it’s better to talk physics than reason with them. Otherwise, if the enemy launches a sneak attack amidst the confusion, there’ll be no chance to reason at all.

It’s like rescuing someone who’s drowned; rather than letting them flail, it’s better to knock them out first.

You should know, on the battlefield, in addition to the morale of various races plummeting, there’s also a bunch of uncontrolled aberrant life forms released by both sides.

Once these guys lose control, they will kill indiscriminately like nuclear pollution…

Colin didn’t join the fray but instead stood at the gate, diverting a portion of his power to control the large fireball, overlooking the utterly chaotic battlefield below…

As he watched, he quickly noticed something that others on the field didn’t.

“There are ‘Red Moon’ followers who have also started to become bothersome.”

Colin’s brow furrowed as he looked at those whose red light was becoming increasingly intense.

The ‘Red Moon’ followers, after a wild melee from both sides…

Did not decrease in number; instead, there seemed to be even more of them, often parasitizing the corpses of enemies outside the company, taking over the flesh.

Even some shattered aberrant beings couldn’t escape the fate of being parasitized and corrupted.

Originally, Followers of the ‘Red Moon’ only had numbers, but now, as they multiplied while others decreased, not only did their numbers grow, but their quality improved as well.

However, Colin didn’t see the few elite ‘Red Moon’ followers who had just fled; he didn’t know where they had gone. Protected by the power of the ‘Red Moon’, he couldn’t track them effectively by any means…

But although he couldn’t easily leave the mountainside to avoid a dishonorable sneak attack on his base, that didn’t mean he couldn’t interfere with the situation below.

He occasionally struck from a distance at the edge of the cliff, targeting troublesome individuals to aid the retreat of thousands of employees.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

A distant and ancient sound came from behind, and when Colin turned around, he saw the tightly shut gates slowly opening like a pair of outstretched hands.

The ‘Mist Gate’ had formed!

“Hurry up and go!” Colin, seeing some employees who were seeing this gate for the first time hesitating, immediately urged them on.

Hearing his words, some employees entered without objections.

Once there was a leader, the others quickly followed suit.

Seeing this, Colin swept a glance over the crowd, confirming nothing inappropriate had slipped in, then looked back down to the fray.

“More people make the retreat quite troublesome, but luckily this mountain is still a no-fly zone for now. If not, it would be a bit of a hassle. Also, there are more D Level Personnel than I expected, feels like a hundred or even two hundred?”

While looking at the various internal organs, brains, eyes, limbs, weapons, clothes, and even resurrected dentures fluttering in mid-air, influenced by the power of the Red Moon, Colin unconcernedly picked up a stone from the ground, swung it in a circle, and hurled it down the mountain to kill or drive away some bothersome enemies.

Meanwhile, at the foot of the mountain, company employees also carried out their tasks in an orderly manner.

“All D Level Personnel, carefully guard the respawn points, prioritize the evacuation of all E level and Below employees, then retreat!”

“Damn it, help me, my doll girlfriend has come alive and run off…”

“Damn it, there’s no talking sense to these steely second-dimensional types. Just revive and retreat quickly instead of dawdling. Missing a doll won’t kill you. My brand new PS5 got lost and I didn’t fuss about it!”

“Why did you bring a PS5 to a battle?”

“Shut the hell up! Focus on defense! Focus on completing the task!”

On the battlefield, D Level Personnel cooperated with each other to repel the invading enemies.

The only good news now is that the Heretic Alliance, thanks to Brother Shunzi’s success, has been shaken to the core.

Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome to orderly withdraw personnel scattered across the battlefield.

But just then, within the heretic ranks, a determined voice rang out…

“Fight on! Is it just because of a setback here that you want to give up everything?!”

“The long struggle has only just begun!”

“We haven’t truly failed yet! Believe me, even if the Bonfire’s cage comes again, as long as there is resistance, we cannot say there’s no hope of breaking it!”

A strong being with Divine power present in his body shouted, his power surging.

Facing the gaze of numerous Different Races, he clenched both fists to his chest and spoke out loud.
