"I think this plan could work. Alright, I will join you!" said the Harlight Prince after reviewing the plan that Emery had concocted.

He then continued on, "It will be dangerous indeed, but the new function of the combat armor will ensure our escape should we fall into danger. My two squads will be joining you."

Emery nodded gratefully at Roran. Then, he looked towards Orion as the latter spoke. "You will need my help for your plan to work, I will join you. However, I can't say the same to my squad members. I can't force them to risk their lives."

As a matter of fact, Orion was a little hesitant to join or not. After all, he really wanted to see the state of his brother Orycon. However he decided to help finish the task first.

What sounded next was a voice belonging to a woman. Turning his head, Emery saw it was the water element master, Trish.

"You have saved my life and I plan to return the favor." She continued, "I will try to persuade my squad members to help you as well."

Once again, Emery nodded gratefully and thanked her. With this, there were a total of 3 people who agreed to help him - Roran, Orion, and Trish.

Unfortunately, the next in line, the archer maestro Rayne did not continue the streak.

With an apologetic smile, she said, "I really want to help. Unfortunately, I don't have any of my rune arrows left; without them, my strength would be greatly reduced. But don't worry, I'm sure some of my men will be willing to help."

"It's okay, Rayne, I understand."

His gaze shifted from Rayne and swept past Julian. The Roman didn't even say anything, with just a slight nod it was clear that he and his squad were committed to joining his cause.

Finally, Emery's gaze stopped on the two people who should be the most hesitant of all.

Anas of the Kaleos and the kid-looking Arcana.

Contrary to expectations, Arcana surprisingly wanted to join the plan. Or rather, he wanted to tag along.

"I still need a bit more points, so I'll be following you a little longer," was what he said.

As for Anas, it was plain to see that the Kaleos young noble was deeply troubled. Emery noticed that he was looking at the Titan bloodline, presumably seeking the opinion of the latter.

Sigurd, however, expressed his willingness to help the endeavor. As such, the irritated Anas turned to Emery and spoke in a sour tone. "Fine!, but don't count on me. Because I will immediately run away at the first sign that your plan is not working."

Emery smiled and nodded his head as a sign that he understood. He then bowed to those present, thanking them for their willingness to join and help his risky plan succeed. After that, everyone quickly dispersed and went to their own squad to spread the results of the meeting.

The entire base quickly went busy, as everyone prepared for the impending move.

At this moment, the red-haired girl standing next to Emery finally opened her mouth and spoke in a gloomy tone. "Say why don't you ask what I think?" Unfortunately for her, Klea quickly intervened by saying, "Emery is troubled enough already, stop teasing him!"

After admonishing Annara, Klea approached Emery. "Is there anything that I can help you with?"

Emery thought for a moment before saying, "Can you please check the situation on the walls?"

The reason he asked to do this was because he was worried that too many acolytes would leave the wall and endangered the base.

"Thank you." Emery said as he saw Klea nod.

The Egyptian queen turned and quickly grabbed Annara without giving her a chance to escape.

Next, Emery turned his attention to his skill [One Mind]. He told the five Chizpur brothers to go underground and carefully make their way towards the east coast of the continent.

The Chizpur brothers would be a crucial help and factor for the plan.

After that, Emery accessed the device on his hand to check on the status quo. It took a while before the device finally showed the number.

Of the 303 acolytes of Platoon 3, only 170 were remaining. Emery also missed 3 captains: Wage and Ryan Gasa, and Rayne. However, as a kind of compensation, he had Magus Bellain and her remaining nine saint fighters, rounding up the number of people for the next task to 180.

Even though this kind of power wasn't that extraordinary against millions of enemies, Emery still hoped that their journey would be smooth-sailing.

[8 hours, 38 minutes]

It took nearly an hour for the survivors to prepare to move. A total of about three million survivors filled the central area of the base, ready for their journey eastward.

Right now, Emery was standing in the middle of this sea of people, with Orion standing beside him. Seeing the signal the survivors were ready, he turned to Orion and nodded his head, whereupon Orion quickly cast his Divine spell to boost Emery's power.

Emery could feel a powerful surge of energy welling up within him as his body was enveloped in light.

With that, he managed to form the largest Spatial Gate he had ever created. It spanned 100 meters in width, and with the help of the connection he had with the Chizpur brothers through [One Mind], he was able to extend the range of the spell.

The total distance separating the two bases is 2,800 miles. It consisted of a distance of 900 miles to the east coast, then there were another 900 miles through the narrow corridor that existed between the seas, before finally the last 1,000 miles that had to be traversed to reach the Platoon 1 base.

The second landscape, the narrow corridor, would be the key to the success of their plan. Its limited space would make it easier for them to defend against the hordes.

Given the remaining time they had, the only way they would succeed and reach 1st Platoon base with minimal risk was for Emery to cast the Spatial Gate only three times. The first one directly to the entrance of the narrow corridor, the second to the end of the corridor, and the third to the Platoon 1 base.

Therefore to make this plan work, Emery had to make his [Spatial Gate] spell be able to break through a distance of 900 miles.

Emery mustered all the strength he had, coupled with the [one mind] link of the 5 plant creatures and the boost that Orion's Divine spell gave him, he forced himself to expand the distance that the spell could reach. Beads of sweat trickled down his face, while his entire body began to tremble.

600 700 750.

750, was the limit Emery reached. He couldn't push it any further, no matter what he tried. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to make the plan work.

However, at this exact moment, the wooden plant in his hand suddenly shone. It seemed to understand what Emery was up to.

In an instant, Emery felt a powerful energy washed over him. It affected his mind, eased the mental burden he was feeling and significantly increased the range that his Spirit Reading was able to cover.

800 850 900.

Finally, Emery's Spirit Reading had reached where he wanted it to be. The east coast of the continent, where the entrance of the narrow corridor is located. Without further ado, Emery willed the Spatial Gate to be opened.

As the Spatial Gate gradually opened, Emery could see tens of thousands Abyss creatures swarming the narrow corridor.

"Everyone, get ready!" shouted Julian, as he would lead the first half of the acolytes to clear the way and secure the area. In the meantime, the other half remained with Roran responsible for guarding the base until the last survivor crossed to the other side.

When a stable connection finally formed between the two Spatial Gates. The gate was successfully opened, and Julian immediately ran towards it.

"Charge!!"
