(Thanks to Hua Bixuan for the 100,000 RMB reward, which allowed her to become the leader of the Fighting Alliance. Tycoon, mighty!!!)
There were no restrictions placed on the various great squadrons. Grouping up? Helping each other? Mount Elbrus would let them know that there were some difficulties that couldn't be solved with numbers.
8123 metres above sea level. Although it didn't sound too far, this was the height of the mountain peak. For every 1000 metres of sea level, one would have to climb a distance of 10,000 metres, or even 20,000 or 30,000 metres. Furthermore, when one truly started to climb, one would discover that Mount Elbrus was a devil!
The first problem was the devil's weather.
It was crazily tormenting everyone. At this moment, it was still negative tens of degrees Celsius. After making a detour around the next mountain peak, one would suddenly be greeted with a temperature of tens of degrees Celsius. Before one could even remove their clothes, a sudden gale with sharp rocks would blow over like bullets …
Under this devil's impromptu performance, every 1000 metres of sea level would require a day, or even 2 days of time. This wasn't something that could be done by mustering one's courage and holding one's breath. The bullet-like rocks and meteorite-like hailstorm would cause one to have no choice but to stop and hide in a safe place while shivering.
North slope of Mount Elbrus, 4500 metres above sea level, Divine Peak Fortress.
Compared to the devil's weather in the south slope, although the north slope of Mount Elbrus was also extremely vile, it wasn't as unpredictable as the devil's weather. The feeling it gave to those who had experienced the devil's weather in the south slope was as comfortable as spring.
Hundreds of elite soldiers were stationed in this fortress. Theoretically speaking, this was a military fortress that was used to defend against attacks from the mountain peak towards Bella Dean City. This was just one of the reasons why the Bella Dean people wouldn't have any loopholes in their defence. In reality, there wasn't a single army or large scale mutated beasts that could get close to the 100 kilometre radius of Mount Elbrus without the consent of the Bella Dean people.
However, at this moment, the greatest use of the fortress was to welcome the CHF squadrons that had passed through the elimination rounds.
On the walls of the fortress, a dozen soldiers were currently looking towards the mountain peak in high spirits, waiting for the appearance of the next squadron.
"It's about time. It should be over." A young soldier rubbed his hands together. His suntanned face radiated with the unique spirit and aura of a Bella Dean citizen.
Beside him was a veteran soldier. He had the same complexion, but his long beard was mottled with white. His weathered appearance gave off a very reliable feeling. "Hmm, how many days is it today?"
The young soldier said with a hint of excitement, "Tomorrow is the last day of the deadline."
"They're coming! There are quite a lot of people coming this time! "
Right at this moment, a wave of clamorous noise resounded.
The young soldier quickly jumped up and looked up from the battlements. In the distance, a long line of people appeared in his sight. A rough count showed that there were about a dozen people.
At first, the group was advancing slowly. However, as the outline of the fortress appeared in their sight, the group of dozens of people suddenly let out fierce roars. Some were crying, some were laughing, and some were angry. They began to accelerate and some of them fell down. Sometimes, going down the mountain required more concentration than going up the mountain, but they quickly got up. The destination was right in front of them.
The white-bearded veteran soldier opened the gates of the fortress.
The first male to rush through the gates grabbed the veteran soldier's arm. "Old bro, are we there yet? We're in Bella Dean City, right? Am I right! "
The veteran soldier smiled. Looking at the exhausted face of the young man, he nodded his head and said, "You've passed through this gate, and you've completed the first elimination round."
The young man took a deep breath, before revealing an uncontrollable emotional expression. However, at the instant when he exhaled, the emotional emotions disappeared from his body, leaving behind only heavy fatigue.
More and more squadron members walked in. Regardless of who it was, upon knowing that they had completed the elimination round, all of them sat on the ground, not wanting to budge an inch.
The veteran recorded their information, name, age, squadron, contact person …
Clearly, this group wasn't from the same squadron, but a group formed from multiple squadrons. All of them were B rank squadrons, with not a single one below B rank.
At this moment, the first male to enter the gate had already caught his breath. Once again, he found the veteran soldier and said, "Hello, I'm Hu Bing from the Copperfield Academy squadron. Do you know the situation of the Copperfield Academy squadron? Did they pass through the elimination round? "
The veteran soldier shot an astonished look at the male before replying, "Copperfield? S rank squadron? They've long passed through. How did you fall behind? "
A sigh of relief appeared on Hu Bing's face as he replied with a smile, "I suffered some injuries. That's why I fell behind."
The veteran soldier smiled in response. So that's how it was. Shooting a deep look at Hu Bing, he noticed that there were basically no traces of injuries on him. "These people were organized by you, right?"
The smile on Hu Bing's face turned somewhat embarrassed. Being alone was too lonely. Therefore, he had to do something. "Is there anything to eat? It's best if it's soup, meat soup. "
"There's no meat soup, but there's fish soup."
"That's even better."
"Wait here."
After saying that, the veteran soldier called out to some people to set up two pressure cookers at the entrance of the stronghold. Filling them with water, he placed large chunks of fish meat into the cookers, covered the pressure cookers, and placed them above the bonfire to simmer.
"It's very easy for the water to boil on the mountain. If you want to drink soup, you can only use these pressure cookers." Looking at Hu Bing, the veteran soldier explained.
Looking at the bonfire, Hu Bing asked, "Old bro, can you tell me how many squadrons have passed through this elimination round?"
"Haha. Your five squadrons should be the last batch. Including you guys, there's exactly 55 squadrons. The Martial Ghosts and Divine Emperor Academy led by the Gui Family was the first to complete the mission, taking only 10 days."
As he spoke, a look of reminiscence and admiration appeared on the weather-beaten face of the veteran soldier. "The Gui Family is truly amazing. They managed to reach the top of the Northern Slope in 10 days. When they arrived at the stronghold, they looked as though they had just returned from a field trip."
Not only were they tyrannical, they were also resilient and disciplined. The Gui Family's style was a terror that could freeze one's bones.
"Your Copperfield Academy is the second squadron to arrive at the stronghold. That's right, aren't you from the Potter Family?"
Replied Hu Bing with a smile. "My mother's surname is Potter, so I can be considered as half a descendant of the Potter Family."
"You guys are also very formidable. You've only used 12 days to reach the stronghold. You guys are the strongest in this competition zone." A feeling of pride appeared on the veteran soldier's face. After all, he was able to witness the peak experts of the younger generation.
After drinking 2 big bowls of fish soup, Hu Bing led the 5 squadrons that were still able to move down the mountain to report.
Everyone had completely relaxed. In the next moment, the majestic and spectacular Bella Dean City appeared before their eyes.
Everyone was shaken by this majestic scene. The white stone buildings that were built on the mountain gave off an indescribable sense of solemnity and dignity. As for the vast plains at the foot of the mountain, the neat and tidy streets of the city radiated with joy and vitality.
"Old Hu! You brat! You're finally back! "
Before Hu Bing could even give a sigh, a pleasantly surprised voice rang out.
Turning around, he saw the entire Copperfield squadron standing by the side of the mountain path. Laura, Karkel, and all of them were present. For the sake of not dragging down the speed of the entire squadron, Hu Bing had stayed behind. However, being the powerful Copperfield squadron, they still hoped that Hu Bing would be able to arrive on time. Fortunately, he had not failed to disappoint them.
At this moment, not far away, a group of people walked past them in an orderly line. They could hear them mumbling something.
Within this group, the most eye-catching person was a tall and big female that appeared as dazzling as the sun, Oli, and an incomparably handsome youth that appeared to be enveloped by a natural radiance, Papada!
The powerful Blazing Angel Academy squadron!
