The magical world, the sacred city, the Ministry of Magic.

Minister of Magic Nicholas sat at his desk with lifeless eyes. At the same time, on his desk, there was a battle report just sent from the front line and a letter. The content of the battle report was very brief, just briefly stating that Tyre City had been lost and that the coalition army led by Knight Commander Ralph was almost annihilated. These two pieces of news, no matter which one was combined, were a great blow and shock to Nicholas. But what he could not imagine was how these two pieces of information were combined together?

The fall of Tyre City meant that the depth of the magic world would be open to the demon army from now on; and the destruction of Ralph and his coalition forces meant that the magic world had lost an extremely important strategic force. It is true that each city still had garrisons, but without the main mobile forces that could be mobilized, it was no different from waiting to die.

After all, the number of people in each city is no more than a few thousand, and in smaller towns, the number of defenders is even less than a thousand.

"Is it really destined that the demons will rule the world..." Nicolas sighed deeply, leaning back on the chair, full of despair. Ralph was not only the leader of the Knights, but also the highest-ranking military commander under Nicolas. Even he died, which shows how powerful the enemy is. Otherwise, even if they lost a battle, they wouldn't be completely wiped out, right?

Now that Ralph is gone, Nicholas can only place his last hope on the successor, Lin Tianlang. Recently, he has been sending people to the Saint Lun School of Magic to inquire about Lin Tianlang's news. But every time he gets the news, Lin Tianlang still hasn't returned. He has been gone for two months, and there has been no news. Could it be...

Nicholas didn't dare to think about it. If the worst result really happened, then their magic world would be completely hopeless. If that happened, they might as well just open the city gates and surrender, and perhaps they could avoid a massacre.

As for the other letter on the table, it was written by the officer Gimli. Nicholas knew Gimli, who was also a rare leader. He led the Elven Archery Corps under the Ministry of Magic. It was said that he was born in the Crescent Forest.

"Sigh... Sir Brave, everyone's hope... is placed on you... I wonder when you will be able to come back and lead us in organizing a counterattack..." Nicholas sighed deeply again, looking at the ceiling with empty eyes.

Saint Lunt City, Saint Lun Magic Academy.

"Oh... my God, the city of Tyre... has actually fallen!"

It has been more than two months since the death of Principal Vincent, which means that it has been nearly half a year since the start of the war readiness. Those students who volunteered to stay and participate in the training have made significant progress after half a year of training. During this period, all teaching activities have been terminated, and everything is based on coping with the current crisis. To some extent, St. Lun College has become a military school.

During this period, students basically had two sources of news about the outside world: newspapers and the school bulletin board. Important events would be announced on the bulletin board. Since Vincent's death, Griffin, Nelvie and others have taken on the responsibility of leading the school. Nelvie believes that students have the right to understand the current situation in the wizarding world, and they should not be kept in the dark no matter what. They must always be aware of their own situation.

Therefore, the time of distributing newspapers during breakfast every morning has become the most important time for students to learn about the outside world. For this reason, the school has specially extended the breakfast time.

Fortunately, although the entire magic world has entered a state of war, the environment inside Saint Len College is still relatively peaceful, but the food is more or less affected than before and is not as rich. After all, food is a very important strategic material, and now almost all the resources in Saint Len City have been managed by a distribution system.

"Oh my god... Isn't the city of Tyre known for its defensive strength only second to the Holy City and Saint Lent City? How could it be breached by the demons so easily?"

"Yes, yes... Oh, what a pity! The people of Tyr are so pitiful. I've been to Tyr once before. That city is close to the sea and is so beautiful! But it's a pity that it has fallen into the hands of the demons... It's really sad."

"Ah... But then again, didn't the Ministry of Magic do anything? Didn't they send out the army?"

"I heard that they sent troops... but they were no match for the demons! A force of tens of thousands of people was completely wiped out!"

"Oh my god...Isn't this too exaggerated?"

"I'm not exaggerating at all. This is just gossip. It hasn't been announced on the bulletin board yet, but I should be there soon... I heard this when I eavesdropped on the teachers' conversation yesterday..."

"..."

The students were chattering at the table, talking about the latest news while eating breakfast. Although the breakfast was much simpler than before, no one complained. After all, the food was delicious, after all, it was made by the elves, but it was not as rich as before.

Meanwhile, at the end of the table, a red-haired girl propped her chin up listlessly with her hand, fiddling with the garlic meatballs and grilled sausages on her plate with a fork, but she couldn't eat anything. Opposite her, Xu Weiwei and Qiuyue were reading a newspaper together, while Shirley next to her was nibbling elegantly at the pear in her hand.

"Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you? Why are you so listless?" Aniya poked the red-haired girl's arm with her finger and said in a low voice.

"Oh... I don't know, I just feel it's so boring..." Long Xinyu sighed deeply, then picked up a meatball and put it into his mouth, chewing it dryly for a long time but not swallowing it.

"What happened to you, Xiaoyu?" Shirley put down the pear in her hand and asked with concern. Since the combat readiness training began, the concept of classes in Saint Lun College has faded a lot. Everyone trains together, and there is no separation according to class grade or so. It is also because of this that the five girls have the opportunity to stay together.

"Nothing... everyone, tell me, that guy... has disappeared for more than two months, right? So many big things have happened in the magic world in these two months, but there is no news about him... really, it's so annoying!" Long Xinyu puffed out his cheeks, then swallowed the meatball in his mouth fiercely.

"So Xiaoyu was thinking about Alang... Well, come to think of it, I haven't heard from Alang for a long time, and I don't know how he is doing now." Aniya also pursed her lips lightly, with a slightly worried look on her face.

"Well... Tianlang..." Shirley hesitated, but in the end she said nothing. At this time, Xu Weiwei, who was sitting opposite, spoke up: "Everyone, don't worry so much. Isn't there a saying that goes 'no news means peace'?"

"Well, we should trust the master. He will definitely come back safely." Qiuyue said softly, putting down the newspaper in her hand. However, there was also deep sorrow on her face. The magic world has become increasingly unstable recently. Although they are temporarily in a comfortable rear area, they really don't know when the demons will attack.

"But... it's hard to trust him!" Long Xinyu gritted her teeth and raised her voice a little: "The last time I went out with the principal for three months, and when I came back, the principal was gone... It's so dangerous outside now. Although this forbidden forest is not 'outside', who knows what's inside! What if... what if... what if he dies in there, then, then we won't even be able to find his body!"

"Xiao, Xiaoyu! You...don't say that...I'm scared!" Aniya was frightened by Long Xinyu's words, and her cute little face turned pale all of a sudden.

However, at this moment, Qiuyue, who was sitting opposite, suddenly stood up at lightning speed, clenched her right fist and hit Long Xinyu directly on the head.

"Ouch!"

Long Xinyu felt pain and shrank back holding her head: "Senior sister, why did you hit me!"

"Xinyu, don't say such unlucky words." Qiuyue said in a very serious, even somewhat angry tone.

"I, I know... I don't want to say this... but, but I just can't control myself from thinking about it... Who told this guy to be gone for such a long time, and there's no news from him since then." Long Xinyu held his head and whispered.

"Okay...Xiaoyu is just worried about that guy's safety." Xu Weiwei said to Qiuyue with a helpless smile.

"Well, even so, we can only trust Tianlang, and we must trust him." Shirley said, "His current strength is that of a true gold-level magician. His strength should have reached the level of the principal or even surpassed the principal. If he really encounters some trouble that even he can't solve, then our worries will be useless. All we can do is take care of ourselves, improve ourselves, and not hold him back at the critical moment."

"Xuexue is right, and that guy... the biggest trouble right now should still be the Demon Lord, there shouldn't be any trouble more difficult than the Demon Lord..." Xu Weiwei said. As she spoke, her eyes looked out the window, and along the window, extended to the invisible forbidden forest...
