"coming!"
As the evening approached, the outpost of the Shepherd's Valley of the Shadow Demon Legion finally welcomed the long-awaited reinforcement team and the medical magician team responsible for transferring the wounded.
Compared to the small number of magicians in this outpost, a team of more than twenty magicians entered the valley in a mighty manner.
"Nolan? Salina?"
Excitedly running out to see the reinforcements, Aylin suddenly saw two acquaintances, and cried out in surprise.
"Nathan?"
Then Ailin immediately realized that Nuolan and Sarina were also acquainted with him, and they were also members of the Silver Trout Academy team, and they used the "Eye of the Tyrant" in the game, which eventually forced Lin Luolan to leave.
"Ayrin, Lin Luolan, why are you here?"
Seeing Aylin and Lin Luolan clearly at a glance, Nuo Lan, Salina and Nathan were also taken aback.
"We accepted the mission of the Special Affairs Office and came here for reinforcements."
Aylin scratched his head and laughed, "What about you? Isn't it that only teams that have reached the top eight in the country are eligible to participate in this mission? Why are you also performing missions here?"
"You guy, don't you look down on people too much?" Nuo Lan looked at Aylin helplessly, "I'm here because I have already graduated from the academy and joined the team of Nan'an Magic Academy. Nathan is also like me. .”
"What about Sarina?" Ayrin asked tirelessly.
"You guy, can't you carry out the mission if you haven't made it to the top eight in the country?" Sa Linna was also a little hit by Aylin, and said depressedly, "I was transferred here temporarily."
"Why are all the top eight teams here? The national competition was interrupted?"
"Don't you all know? Because of this big battle, the competition system has been changed. We will decide the winner and loser by performing missions here, and decide the final champion and runner-up."
…
"Black Necromancer Gaia, Green Snake Sorcerer Squad, Iron Leaf Ghost Ankos... Such a lineup actually blocked it. No wonder Salina and Nuolan were eliminated by them in the competition."
While Aylin was chatting with Nuo Lan and the others, the magician team of the Shadow Demon Legion had also had a quick exchange with Zorn and the others.
All the team members, including Captain Jiger, looked at Ayrin and Lin Luolan with deep disbelief.
Most of the members of their team are also from Silver Trout Academy, and coincidentally, they have also fought against the iron leaf ghost Ankes before, so they know the strength of Ankes and others.
"What's the situation now? Why are there such raids near this outpost?"
Rui asked Jiger, who was about the same height and age as him, but with gray hair.
"According to the latest information, the evil dragon cultists still don't want to give up Shadowfall Valley. In terms of the overall layout, they are desperately trying to prevent us from entering the scope of Shadowfall Valley."
Jiger said: "This time we have a lot of top magicians from the Kingdom of Dowa. They have suffered a lot in the previous large-scale battles. After they found that there is no way to compete with us in large-scale battles, they are now completely A tactic of breaking it down into parts was adopted, and one or two or three magician teams were guerrilla outside."
"Such a tactic can achieve a certain effect. Even in a weak situation, it can assassinate the magician team that consumes a lot of the opponent. But it should not have much effect on the overall advancement." After pondering for a while, Rui said.
"Of course." Jiger nodded, "So there are two most likely factors. One is that the Evil Dragon Cultists have some special operation in Shadowfall Valley, forcing them not to give up and must stick to it. Another point That is, they suffer from the fact that the number of top magicians is not as good as ours, so they use this tactic to delay some of our general attack on Shadowfall Valley, most likely waiting for some bishop-level evil dragon cultists to arrive."
After a pause, Jiger looked at Rui, Zon and others and added: "Based on the first point, the most likely thing at present is that Shadowfall Valley may be related to the blood of the evil dragon, and it may be possible for the evil dragon cultists to obtain the blood of the evil dragon. arrangement of holy relics."
"Or, just like the legend, there is a special arrangement that can revive the evil dragon." The expression on Rui's face did not change, but he added this sentence in a somewhat stern tone.
"So..." Jiger glanced at Rui, then turned his head to look at Aylin and Lin Luolan, looking hesitant to speak.
Rui looked at him calmly: "What?"
"In addition to transferring the wounded and replacing the guards here, we have also brought new tasks to your Holy Dawn team."
Jiger looked at Rui with some embarrassment, but said immediately, "It is estimated that according to the plan of the Special Affairs Office, this is your real first mission. Let you support here, and it is not expected that there will be a large number of enemies. There was a surprise attack."
"Is there a new mission coming?"
Ayrin's voice suddenly sounded.
While talking with Nuo Lan and the others, he clearly heard the words "new mission".
"What, do you think we just went through a battle, and we don't have the strength to carry out new tasks?" Ayrin looked at Jiger's eyes, realized something, turned his head to look at Lin Luolan again, and said : "It doesn't matter. When Lin Luolan came, he couldn't move one hand. Now even if he can't move both hands, he can still fight!"
"What a strong fighting spirit... Ayrin, this guy really doesn't know what fear and danger are."
Hearing his words, the group of people were suddenly speechless.
"But..." Jiger, who had never seen Ayrin's battle and was not familiar with Ayrin, couldn't help but say something.
"We will never give up on winning."
But he only said two words before he was interrupted by Ayrin's voice, "Although I don't know what Chris and Morgan's teams are doing now, I know that even if they face us In such a situation, you will never give up.”
"What task?" Rui didn't say much, but asked Jiger directly.
Because the situation on the battlefield and the situation of the magician teams on both sides are constantly changing, the follow-up missions should also be temporarily designated by the important figures of the Special Affairs Office on the front line, so Giger did not take out any secret documents or the like, but directly in the A map spread out on the ground.
"This is the specific location of Shadowfall Valley."
Jiger clicked on one of the most prominent dark purple valleys on the map, and Ayrin, who lay directly on the side of the map, immediately saw that there were countless trails marked by densely packed red lines around the dark purple valley on the map.
"These are called evil trails." Jiger's fingers happened to land on these trails marked with red lines, "These are the usual passages for the evil dragon masters in Shadowfall Valley to enter and exit. According to the information we have so far, these evil There are either cliffs or many traps on both sides of the trail. The road is extremely narrow and can only allow a small group of magicians to pass by, not suitable for a large group of magicians to rush in. Usually, these evil dragon cultists also disperse from these evil trails. This Shadowfall Valley It's like a lair. If we want to attack this lair, we can only attack from countless evil paths at the same time. Now in order to curb the entry and exit and supply of the evil dragon magician, and prevent the evil dragon magician from transferring some things, we must first block these Evil Path, first implement a substantial siege to Shadowfall Valley."
"Your task this time is to rush into one of the evil paths and block that evil path."
"This is actually equivalent to capturing one of their outposts, right?" After listening to Jiger's introduction, Ayrin, who was lying on the map, raised his head and asked, "The Dragon's Breath Academy and the others who competed with us should be the same task?"
"I think it should be, it should be that each rushed to the vicinity of an evil path." Jiger looked at Ayrin and nodded.
"Time?" Rui also raised his head, and asked the simplest two words.
"The expected general attack is just five days later, so it is required to complete the siege of Shadowfall Valley on the fourth day, and you will reach this evil path in four days."
"Four days?" Ayrin didn't feel anything yet, but Rui frowned slightly.
"Yes, based on the distance from Shadowfall Valley to here, in four days, it is almost at full speed." Jiger turned his head, looked at Ayrin and said solemnly, "And I have to remind you that the entire Dorast There is no detailed map of Nan'an Demon Forest on the mainland, only a rough map like this one. Although the number and orientation of the valleys and rivers are clear, no one knows what kind of stronghold of giant monsters and monsters will be on the way. And the evil trail There are usually archers and warriors of the Dragon Cultist nearby, so this task is not easy for any level of magician team."
"If it's a mission that can be completed easily, it's impossible for Morgan and his team to decide the winner." Ayrin looked at Jiger and said, "If you don't dare to carry out dangerous missions, then you can still be called Is it the magician team?"
Jiger looked at him and was speechless for a long time.
"This guy is really a born combat artist!"
Nuolan looked at Aylin who was sure to accept the mission with complicated emotions, and took a deep breath, "Aylin, I have one thing to remind you, if you compete with a team like Abel College, you have to be careful of their opponents. threaten."
"Be careful of Abel College, what do you mean?" Ailin was taken aback for a moment.
"The Abel College team has always had a bad reputation. They used to use some improper schemes in national competitions before." Nuo Lan looked at Aylin and said softly.
"It seems that the bearded man said something similar to me." Ayrin said with his eyes widened, scratching his hair.
"Which bearded man?" Nuolan, Salina and the others asked in confusion.
"Lei Kai from Winterfell College, why don't you know each other?" Ayrin said in surprise.
"... Although Lei Kai has a little beard, but he is so tender... And if you only talk about a beard, who would know that you are talking about Lei Kai." Nolan and Salina were speechless.
"You have to be careful."
Jiger looked at Rui at this time, and added emphatically: "According to the information, at least the plague bishop Anchenori is active in the Nan'an Demon Forest."
