Canglan Ji

Fang's mage legion.

The leader was a blond young man, his robe fluttering in the mountain wind, and his expression was determined.

The current head of the mage legion - Faramir.

Seven days earlier, Faramir had been in a deep coma.

He fell into a deep dream, which was chaotic and chaotic.He saw many scenes in his dream, and there was only one person in those scenes.It was a tall young man with black robe and black hair, even his eyes were black, like the incarnation of night.

He is at the table, by the window, in the courtyard, on the horse, on the flying dragon, and in the sea of ​​fire.

The way he smiles, smokes, walks, reads, drinks tea, and talks.

This person seemed to have a deep bond with him. Faramir wanted to call him, but found that he did not know his name.His figure in each frame is rapidly dissipating, leaving only an empty scene.

The young man's appearance was very clear at the beginning, but as more and more blank scenes appeared, his face became more and more blurred, and finally only a vague outline remained.

Faramir wanted to tell him not to go, but he didn't seem to hear it, and he sank into the deep darkness step by step.

"See you in the next life, Mo."

"Come back!" cried Faramir, opening his eyes, and sitting up suddenly from the bed, sweating profusely, his heart throbbing so violently that his lips turned white with pain.

He clenched his fists and waited for the painful palpitations to subside. When he finally calmed down, he found that his face was covered with tears.

——Why are you crying?

——Why is it so uncomfortable?

——I seem to have lost something very important...

Faramir wiped his face and sat on the bed for a long time. He remembered that he had a dream, but he couldn't remember anything about the dream.

He looked around the room blankly, lifted the quilt, put on his shoes and got up.Days of bedridden made his limbs a little stiff, so he shook his arms and legs and walked to the window to look.This is the residential area behind the Mohe Canyon. All the troops have been transferred to the front line, and the people have already withdrawn. The entire area is empty except for the occasional guards who come and go in a hurry.

Faramir turned and looked around the room, and saw the necklace on the table.

The black ball the size of a finger is dull and dull, as if it has absorbed the surrounding light, and there is no reflection at all.Faramir thought the necklace looked familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen it before, so he hung it around his neck.

"Master Marquis, you are awake!" The soldier who took care of him every day pushed the door and entered, and was pleasantly surprised to see him wake up.

"Where is this?" Faramir asked him.

"Behind the Mohe Canyon. A large number of monster legions appeared on the front line, and a large number of nurturing magic stones appeared everywhere. The troops from various countries withdrew. We couldn't stand it anymore, so we retreated here for the time being." The soldier replied respectfully.

"It's been hard for you these days." He nodded slightly, thanking the soldiers who took care of him, and then pushed the door out, teleporting several times in a row, and quickly rushed to the front line.

Some acquainted generals on the front line brought him to the currently low morale of the Mage Corps, and conveyed the order of the current frontline commander Ma Boyuan, not to make the news of Xiu Shamu's death public, and appointed him as the new head of the Mage Corps.

Before he could react, all the sorcerers surrounded him in twos and threes, asking him if he knew the whereabouts of Xiu Shamu.

"Master Marquis, will you lead the group in the future?"

"Where did the dean go?"

"Is the dean coming back?"

"What shall we do next?"

- Dean?Who is that?

Faramir had no answer.

Xiu Shamu's last spell was not requiem, but oblivion.

Faramir completely lost all memory of Xiu Shamu, as if such a person had never appeared in his life.It took him a few days to learn about Xiu Shamu's identity from the accounts of the surrounding generals and mages, and he became more and more confused.

——Xiu Shamu?

——Why does everyone remember him, but I can't remember anything?In my own memory, it's as if he didn't exist?

But he didn't have time to take care of himself, the battle on the front line was tense, and he had to bring the mage group to the front line.

Ma Boyuan was sitting on the front line and had no time to look after him, so he asked someone to bring him a manual.

It was the record book he used to collect information on monsters. Many key points were circled and marked in the notes.

No one knows the magic resistance of the frontline monsters better than him. The transcript clearly sorts out the spell coordination that can be used in large-scale battles. The last few pages indicate the ratio and range of various elemental magic powers of the mage group, as well as the supplementary materials needed. , with the utmost detail.

Faramir has been involved in the battle since the second day he woke up. He is no longer the hesitant and cowardly boy he used to be. He has a precise grasp of the battle situation, and every order is clear and decisive.

The sea of ​​ice, rain and fire, the wind and thunder, the gorgeous and vast spells, the light and shadow are relaxed, and you can advance and retreat freely. Cooperate with the flying dragon knights and heavy cavalry, break the battle situation in one fell swoop!

In just one battle, the mage army was integrated from a mess of sand into a regiment.Courage and faith reappeared in everyone, and they followed Faramir as unwaveringly as they had followed Xiusamu.

But every time he opened the notebook and saw familiar and unfamiliar handwriting on it, he would feel an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

The person who wrote it didn't have a signature, and there was no extra nonsense, but he guessed that it was Xiu Shamu's handwriting.

--who are you?

——What kind of role did you play in my life?

——Why would I forget you?

Canglan Town, Beijun Logging Ground, Shuojin Town and other places destroyed by monsters were all marked with a cross on the map. From Xuefeng City down, the red crosses along the way were shocking.

Yu Chuan turned a glass bottle in his hand, which contained the blue soil that Xiao Ran brought with him when they reunited, and remained silent for a long time.

That is their hometown, the place they most want to go back to.

Putting his hands on his shoulders, Xiao Ran said behind his back: "I will take Cang Lan back, for sure."

Yu Chuan rested his head on his waist: "Let's rebuild Cang Lan together."

"Ah."

"There is also Shuojin Town, I still want to go there to celebrate the New Year."

"it is good."

"What's the situation now?"

Xiao Ran sat next to him and spread out the map: "The surge of the Sishui River connected the underground river, causing the monsters of the Great Rift Valley to rush out from inside. After investigation, with Shuojin Town as the boundary, the closer the monsters are to the direction of the Great Rift Valley The higher the intelligence is. The mutant monsters we usually encounter when fighting outside the city gate, once the same species is located in the direction of the Great Rift Valley, the thinking ability will be significantly stronger. The reason must be inside the Great Rift Valley. In the Wisteria Forest The monsters in the world gather in groups, and each group has a leader. Under the leadership of the leader, they carry out large-scale and organized hunting of the original monsters for food. They are very dependent on water sources, and most of them gather near the water flow. The number of monsters north of the Sishui River is very large, with a total number of about [-], and the proportion of mutant monsters is unknown."

Yu Chuan said: "If we want to recover the towns along the way one by one, the battle line will be stretched too long. Especially in Shuojin Town and Beiyuan Logging Field, the power of monsters has greatly increased, and too many mutant monsters have gathered. Our troops are limited. , the front line is tight, and it is not realistic to deploy troops. With our current strength, even if some towns are recovered, it is very easy to be captured again. Since the monsters rely on water sources..."

Xiao Ran glanced at him with a smile: "I think so too. Now we can't enter the Great Rift Valley, but we must make restrictions." Xiao Ran nodded Sishuihe, "Start from here."

The chief of armaments was asked by Xiao Ran, "How much are all the explosives?"

The chief of armaments touched his head: "This is really not much, less than a hundred catties."

"Contact Viscount Ye Erwen, ask him to help deploy 200 explosive bombs, and the speed must be fast."

"Yes!"

It is very difficult to make gunpowder in Shenji Continent, small equipment can still be used, and large explosives are extremely unstable.

After all, Ye Erwen still had some ideas, and 200 explosive bombs were transported to Xuefeng City by Raven 5 days later.

The current situation in the rear is relatively relaxed, and the concentration of monsters after the dispersal of the magic stones is far less than that in the front line.They usually gather in groups from the wild towards towns, and swarm after reaching a certain size.

After a battle, Xiao Ran ordered 2000 archers, 400 infantry, 1000 light cavalry, and 300 heavy shield soldiers, and together with Yu Chuan led a regiment to march towards the Beiyuan logging camp.

After temporarily regaining the logging ground in the North Campus, Xiao Ran dispatched all combat forces except the infantry regiment to patrol around and clear the monsters to protect internal security.The remaining infantry began felling trees en masse.

More and more magical beasts began to gather here, and the 3000 troops on the periphery could only hold out for three days.

But Xiao Ran only needs three days.

Three days later, when the pressure of the war situation was about to reach a critical point, Yu Chuan led the light cavalry to break through the encirclement, and Xiao Ran led everyone behind to advance towards the narrowest channel of the Sishui River.

The foot force of the infantry regiment is the strongest. Ten people carried an ancient log and ran quickly, and arrived at the destination after half a day.

The river here is extremely narrow, only about 7 meters, and the water flow is very fast.

The outer battle circle was all handed over to the archers and light cavalry. The light cavalry led the surrounding monsters to one place, and a blasting bomb went down and killed a nest.The rest were suppressed by the archers from a distance, just enough to wipe out most of the monsters in the distance.The remaining sporadic charge was completely blocked by 200 heavy shield soldiers. Yu Chuan led 300 infantry to wipe out the close monsters, protecting the internal battle circle extremely carefully, and all combat power was distributed just right.

There are only 100 infantry and 100 heavy shield soldiers inside, which is also the heaviest
