My Attractiveness Only Affects Divine Beasts

Chapter 145: Self-rescue Operation

“Ah? Does that mean we can only wait here for death?” Questioned one of the soldiers.

“Captain, is there no other way to escape from here?”

Hearing the soldier’s words, Sifusco immediately tried to assuage their fears.

“Don’t worry, hear me out first!”

Sifusco sorted out his thoughts before continuing to speak.

“Although we can’t cross this place within a week, it doesn’t mean that we can’t leave this place.

“Although the snow is very deep and there’s a big rock pressing down on this spot, as long as we can bypass the snow covering the big rock and turn around to dig a U-shaped tunnel towards the mountain on the side, we still have a chance to leave this place!”

When the soldiers heard Sifusco’s words, everyone smiled with happiness.

Then, they eagerly asked, “Captain! Do we really have a chance to survive?”

Sifusco immediately answered.

“Yes, of course! But, we’ll have to wait!”

The soldiers immediately asked, “Wait? Why do we have to wait?”

Seeing that the soldier was puzzled, Sifusco replied.

“Before we can start to dig, we have to wait until the hill next to the snow is completely frozen before we can dig. Otherwise, our lives will be in danger!

“I was just observing it. It will need about three days before it is completely frozen.

“During these three days, we won’t be able to do anything. Once the three days are over, we will have to start the 24-hour non-stop construction work immediately!

“We have eight hundred people here. Each of us can work under the heavy snow for about an hour. That’s the limit!

“Each excavation can only accommodate ten people at most. If that’s the case, we’ll need two hundred and forty people for a whole day!

“However, we don’t have the tools to excavate here. So, in a while, we’ll gather up all the weapons that we have and pack up the long swords and axes. We need to prepare to start our self-rescue plan!”

When the soldiers heard this, they began to question him, one after another.

“Captain, how long will we need to keep digging like this to reach the end?”

Sifusco quickly answered their question without thinking.

“If we are fast, we will only need ten days.”

“Ten days? That’s too long!”

One of the soldiers sighed.

Then, Sifusco continued, “But if we are slow, then we will have to stay here for at least twenty days!

“Alright! Tell the others what I said and get moving!”

Before the soldiers could ask any more questions, Sifusco gave his orders.

After the had soldiers left, Sifusco started to look around the tower again.

Sifusco walked to the back of the tower and looked down. There was an endless cliff in front of him.

On the left side of the sentry tower was also a cliff.

There was a low hill on the right side of the sentry tower, and in front of the sentry tower was the path down the mountain that had been completely covered by snow.

The terrifying abyss continuously roared with the wind and snow.

The cold wind and snow were constantly ravaging Sifusco’s body and mind.

In his opinion, he did not actually know how long this vanguard team could survive here.

Whether they could even survive until the day they saw the light of day again.

Another gust of cold wind blew, startling Sifusco and causing him to shiver.

Then, Sifusco walked into the sentry tower.

When Sifusco entered the sentry tower, the eyes of all his many soldiers were focused on him.

When everyone saw Sifusco entering the sentry tower, all of them rushed up and asked, “Captain! Do we really have a chance to survive?”

“Captain! Will the rescue really come? We won’t die here, right?”

“Captain, Captain, what should we do if we run out of food?”

When Sifusco saw that everyone’s questions were all about survival, he realized that everyone’s confidence in surviving was gradually fading.

Therefore, in order to boost morale, Sifusco said, “Please rest assured! We definitely have a chance to survive! As long as all of us do not give up hope, we will definitely complete the excavation of the tunnel and eventually walk out of this Broken Cliff Mountain!”

However, how could Sifusco’s words alone change the current situation of the people who had already developed a chaotic mentality?

Even after everyone heard Sifusco’s words, they still looked frightened.

Sifusco walked over to the soldiers who were close to him and whispered something in their ears.

After Sifusco finished speaking, the soldiers began to speak loudly to the crowd.

“Please believe in the Captain! Please believe in yourselves! As long as we don’t give up hope, we will definitely be able to leave Broken Cliff Mountain alive!”

Sifusco had already walked to the top of the sentry tower. He looked down through the glass on the top floor.

He saw that the snow that was blocking the road was slowly increasing in length.

Obviously, this would be a race against time.

The scariest news did not stop there.

At the moment, they were not able to carry out the excavation work yet.

They could only wait until the hill beside the snow had completely frozen before they could begin the excavation work.

Sifusco lay down on the ground, feeling a little tired.

His mind started to recall the scene before he had gone up the mountain.

Then, he could not help but mumble to himself.

“No wonder there were fewer than twenty Empire soldiers on this Broken Cliff Mountain. It seems that they knew that this Broken Cliff Mountain would be sealed by the heavy snow!”

Those were Sifusco’s thoughts as he gradually fell asleep.

He had been traveling continuously for the past few days, and his journey had been very tense.

As the leader of this mission, he had a huge burden on his shoulders.

Now that the snow had sealed off the mountain, which meant that they could not go out for a while, at least Sifusco could finally rest for a while.

Soon, Sifusco fell asleep as he half leaned against the wall.

Just then, several soldiers who had come to discuss the aftermath with Sifusco, saw that he had already fallen asleep.

They all tactfully left the place quietly.

When the people in the sentry tower learned that Sifusco had fallen asleep, everyone became quiet.

“Actually, Captain is the most tired person these days!”

“Although the snow has sealed the mountain, at least the captain can have a good rest! I think we shouldn’t disturb him!”

“Yes, yes. Since the Captain has said that we still have a chance to survive, then we should take advantage of the time now and have a good rest!”
