At Post Nine, the major evacuation through Blackflame Mountain Pass was proceeding tensely. On this site, including new recruits and warriors, there were roughly thirteen thousand, and if counting the 5,500 from the Goldenrod Kingdom and several thousand players, the total stationed soldiers at Blackflame Mountain Pass exceeded twenty thousand.
But now, only fewer than eight thousand could be gathered here.
The remaining ones were either unaccounted for after the Ratmen's excavation collapsed the post earlier, or still resisting the Gnolls and Kobolds' attacks on Post Eight. Although Murphy learned through player forums that around a thousand NPCs trapped with Old Qin broke through the Ratmen's tunnels, the current casualty rate still reached nearly 40%.
This was beyond mere flesh and bone damage.
