Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 768: The Group Escaped From the Cave

And the little girl in front of her, if they’re not mistaken, was Vivian who led a part of the dwarfs to revolt.

It was said that Vivian’s hands were injured in the war.

She was severely punished by the dwarfs and could not forge for the rest of her life.

But at that time, Cumberland happened to send an invitation. The dwarfs who were busy moving could not find anyone to deal with it.

Out of helplessness, they sent Vivian to bring some new recruits to the job.

Vivian did not personally build the port, but instead took up the role of the chief commander of the entire construction project.

“I heard that His Highness Lord Kant is also acquainted with this little girl.” Claremont said to Devitt in a low voice.

“Yes, I know that too.” Devitt nodded and said, “However, the Vivian standing in front of us now seems to be totally different from the one who stayed in Cumberland.”

“During that time, I have been to Cumberland a few times.” Abel frowned and said, “I didn’t expect that in such a short time, that would be a drastic change to a person.”

The floor shook even more. Devitt glanced at the old chief who was standing silently on the side. He felt that it was not a good idea to continue this confrontation. He immediately walked to the side of the old chief and said, “Chief, let’s quickly retreat.”

“You guys go. I’ll stay here with this little fellow.” the chief shook his head and said, “If she has any grievances, just vent them on me.”

Claremont frowned and said, “Your niece did such a thing on impulse. Please don’t be stupid. If a person’s life is lost, then everything will be meaningless.”

After saying this, Claremont and Abel looked at each other. They made up their minds — even if they had to knock the old chief out, they had to take him out.

“Clang!” The light at the corner of the stairs fell at their feet.

Devitt and the other two saw that the situation was getting worse. Without waiting for the old chief to reply, they lifted half of the old chief’s body. They jumped down the stairs.

“You can’t escape!” Vivian shouted as she watched the figures of these people escape to the door.

“Abel! Bring Vivian with you!” Claremont shouted at Abel.

The moment Abel passed by Vivian, he held her in his arms. No matter how much she resisted, she clenched her teeth and did not let go.

“Let go of me!” Vivian bit Abel’s arm.

“Why are you so insensible!” Abel endured the pain of being bitten and frowned at Vivian.

The group ran out of the building and passed through the crumbling buildings.

“Boom — boom –” the sound came from the edge of the town. Devitt looked in the direction of the source of the sound. He found the scout team and a group of dwarfs in pajamas.

The elven soldiers were using their spells to continuously attack the iron gate that blocked the secret door.

“Chief!”

“Captain Devitt!”

The arrival of Devitt and the others attracted the attention of the scout team and the dwarven craftsmen.

“Chief, what’s going on?” A dwarf wearing a nightcap rushed to the side of the chief and asked.

“… sigh.” the old chief sighed and said, “Klidoff betrayed us. These soldiers were sent by the humans and elves outside the island to help us out.”

“Eh?” the dwarfs who heard the news were all surprised.

“Captain Abel! Captain Devitt, Captain Claremont! You’re finally here.” an elven soldier walked up to the three people and called out.

“How’s the situation now?” Abel asked anxiously. His right hand was still holding the little girl in his arms, preventing her from escaping from him.

“Currently, the elven soldiers and the Caradia soldiers are working together to find a breakthrough point.” the soldier reported.

“Any progress?” Claremont continued to ask.

“The entrance to the place was sealed by the iron gate. The material of the iron gate is harder than we imagined.” the soldier’s face revealed a troubled expression.

“It’s too late.” Devitt looked back at the shaking house behind him and said to the gnome chief, “Chief, do you have any ideas?”

“This iron gate is the last line of defense we have set up for this residence.” the chief shook his head and said, “I don’t know when this little girl took the key to the basement from me, and then she had the chance to use this device.”

Abel squatted down and looked straight into Vivian’s eyes. He asked, “What about you? How are you going to escape?”

“Hmph.” Vivian turned her face away and did not say anything.

Abel frowned, stood up and said to the others, “It seems that this little girl is ready to die here with us.”

After the dwarves heard the conversation between the two, they looked at Vivian in disbelief. However, Vivian ignored their gazes and kept her head down.

“We have to think of a way to escape from here.” Claremont said in a solemn voice.

“There are about thirty minutes left before the cave collapses.” Devitt took out his pocket watch and said after taking a look.

Abel walked to the iron gate where everyone was besieging and attached his right hand to it.

He used the spiritual energy in his body to feel the density of this piece of steel.

It was too strenuous for Abel to do such a test. When the water element in his body squeezed into this piece of metal with great difficulty… Bean-sized beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

“Stop fighting.” Abel wiped his sweat and said to the soldiers who were trying to break through, “You can’t break this piece of steel.”

When the scout soldiers heard this, they all stopped.

“Captain Abel, maybe we can find the ventilation shaft here and break through from there.” a wind elf soldier suggested.

“Right.” Abel suddenly realized. “You lead the way!”

“Okay.” the soldier nodded and immediately used the spiritual power in his body to fly into the air. According to the airflow he felt, he searched for the air lock of this small town.

“Found it!” five minutes later, the elven soldier stopped in front of a mountain wall. He shouted excitedly at the soldiers standing on the ground.

“Good!” Abel immediately followed. After observing for a while, he said to the other soldiers, “We can break through from here!”

Each elven soldier brought a Caradia soldier and flew high into the sky, arriving at the location where Abel and the wind elf were. The two forces combined and smashed a big hole in the rock wall.

“Wow!” the dwarves cheered happily. They hadn’t thought of this method before. Now that they could break through the crisis easily, they were really happy.
