At night, the knights huddled in a clearing not far from Ramakhsh, lying down or leaning against the broken wall, most of them asleep, except for Stan and Tirling, who were still keeping vigil. Around the camp, in addition to the mages who were divided into several groups to keep vigil, there was also the protection of the barrier, but the knights were still relieved and sent two people to keep vigil.

It was a very windy night, and the sultry wind from the south made the tents rattle, and scattered dark clouds drifted quickly over the moon, making the camp sometimes silvery and sometimes pitch black. Stan glanced at Ramahesh's tent, where the archmage had gone in to rest, and there was nothing suspicious about it from the outside. "I always felt like there was something in that tent. Stan turned around and said to Tillin beside him.

"Why don't you go and see it here?" Tillin snorted, standing up to go over.

Stan pulls him back. "Don't be impulsive, don't you see those four mages? ”

The mages guarding the tent were staring at him vigilantly when they saw Tillin standing up and looking at him, and Tirin had to pretend to move. "I've been sitting for a long time, and my feet are numb. Then he sat back down. "We can knock them out and sneak in. ”

"Don't be stupid, there must be an enchantment there. Nerfi's voice came, and the girl rolled over and faced the two men who were on vigil, as it turned out that she had not been asleep.

Stan smiled sheepishly. "We're just guessing and we're not going to go over, by the way, why haven't you fallen asleep yet?"

Nerfi simply sat up, combing her long flaxen hair. "I can't say it, I always feel a little panicked. ”

"Is it too tense to be surrounded by so many mages?" Stan asked with concern, "Or are the mages influencing each other?"

Nerfi shook her head in confusion. "No, when I was in the Mage Tower, there were more mages around, and I didn't feel this way. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark cloud obscured the moon again, and the position of the group was pitch black, and Stan couldn't see Nerfi's face, and Tirin flicked the dagger with his finger. "If it's not going to be peaceful tonight, we'd better be careful. ”

Although Tillin's words seem unfounded, neither Stan nor Nellfi refute them, and they have a hunch on their part, and with the Twilight cult's attack during the day, they have reason to step up their defenses.

Nerfi picks her cane from her knee and sits down next to Stan. "I can't sleep anymore when you say that, so let's keep a vigil together. ”

The girl's scent wafted into Stan's nose, and he remembered the nights he spent with Nerfi in the Borderlands when he went north to Doyle, when Nalfi was so headstrong, and now that she's a lot more mature, Stan feels a little unable to keep up with her. "Although there are no aurora in the southern sky, you can look at the sky from afar in the wild without any scruples, and if you are in Doyle, you can freeze for five minutes. ”

"It doesn't take five minutes, two minutes is enough. Tillin interjects, and then realizes that Stan is speaking to Nerfi and quickly closes his mouth.

Nerfi also looked up at the starry sky in the distance, where there were no dark clouds. "And what do you think is the beauty of Doyle's starry sky, or is it here?"

Stan almost blurted out. "Of course it's Doyle's, it's my hometown, there's no place like it. ”

"I didn't expect you to be a family lover, Stan. Nalfi turned his head and smiled, strands of hair running down his cheeks, and Stan noticed that his brain was starting to dull again.

"This ...... I'm just used to being there, you know, I'm used to the cold, it's ...... here" Before Stan could finish speaking, a few hundred yards in front of them, a dazzling fire suddenly flashed, followed by a violent explosion, and the entire camp seemed to shake. "Hell, it's really here, wake them up!"

The three of them immediately woke up the other knights, and the mages were also awakened by the sound of the explosion, and Ramakhsh stepped out of the tent, staring grimly into the distance, where the flames caused by the explosion had already burned, and the panicked shouts of the mages were heard. Sagunar and a few mages were already on their way over, when similar fires flashed from the left and right sides, followed by several explosions, and for a while, the camp was on fire, and the mages were in chaos.

"Don't panic, you three, go to the outposts on the left, right, and back, and tell the archmage there to hold your ground, and don't chase them out. There was no panic on Ramakhsh's face, and his voice was very calm.

Stan listened, impressed by the old mage, and walked over to Ramahesh. "Is there something we need to do? We're not going to shirk. ”

Ramakhsh did not look at him, but slowly walked back to the tent. "No, it's just a tentative attack, they haven't used their real strength yet, we can deal with it. ”

Stan looks at the draped doorway curtain and reaches out to remove it, but his hand pauses in the air for a few seconds before giving up and walking back to his companions. "He said no problem, we don't have to meddle. ”

Magir was ready to go, sword in hand. "If we can't ask for it, we'd better save our strength. ”

Ulf leaned against the wall and said puzzledly, "If I were him, I would definitely let us go to the front line to fight the Twilight Sect to the death, why save our strength?"

Stan's sword is still in its scabbard, and he finds himself much calmer than before. "Maybe he knows that there will be a time when he needs us more in the next few days, and that's when he needs to work hard. ”

The others didn't say anything more, but looked around, the roar of magic and explosions continued, and the burning flames gradually joined together, enveloping the entire camp. The flames lit up the sky, the black night sky turned red, the fierce southerly wind grew bigger and bigger, and the scorching breath blew into the camp and brushed the faces of the people.

The scattered battles continued until the early hours of the morning, and the surrounding area gradually fell silent, and the knights finally put their minds at ease, and did not sleep well all night, and now once they relaxed, most of the knights immediately fell into a deep sleep. Stan and Magir don't fall asleep right away, they know that Sagunar will come to report the situation, and they can't afford to miss any information.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Sagunar to limp towards the tent, he was actually injured, and the middle-aged mage sat down on the ground to heal the wound on his foot. Ramakhsh didn't immediately ask him about the situation, but sat quietly in front of the tent and waited, Stan didn't know what kind of medicine the two guys were selling in their gourds, so he had to hold on to his eyelids that were about to stick together, so he didn't let himself fall asleep. Soon, several more mages approached, and they were not considered young, and some even had long white beards like Ramahesh, and white hair hung down from their hats. Stan knew they had to start talking about the fight, so he focused his attention there.

Ramakhsh raised his head slightly, glancing around at the mages in front of him. "Alright, as always, Sagunar, you can speak first. ”

Sagunar had already healed his wounds, and his mana looked very strong. "Those guys are still harassing as their main purpose, although the offensive is much stronger than the previous days, but they still haven't sent the main force. ”

Ramakhsh nodded. "Well, as I thought. He looked at an old mage on his left. "Fabioso, how is the left wing?"

Fabioso took off his mage hat and exhaled with difficulty. "As Sagunar described, it's just a large-scale harassment, but the left wing still has lost three mages and can't be saved with healing spells. ”

There was no expression on Ramakhsh's face. "Bury them well, where are you, Hell?"

When Stan heard the name, he immediately looked over to the mage in surprise, only to see an old mage's face hidden under the brim of the mage's hat, making his face difficult to see in the dark, but Stan still remembered the voice of his voice. "We also had casualties, but the casualties were even greater. ”

"We can't afford to spend with them, they have more people than we do. Ramakhsh then asks several of the other mages, who Stan speculates must be the leaders of the various regions, so they gather here to report on the situation.

"They're all archmages. Nerfi's voice rang out behind Stan, Stan was startled and quickly turned his head, but Nerfi was startled by his reaction and screamed softly.

Stan sees that it's Nerfi and scratches his hair in embarrassment. "I'm sorry, Nerfi, I didn't mean to scare you. ”

"It's okay, I should have scared you first. Nerfi leaned out from behind Stan and looked at the mages in front of him.

"You said they were all archmages?" Stan asked curiously.

"That's right, it seems that this time the Mage Tower can be regarded as a dumping of the nest, these people may be all the people who stayed in the Mage Tower, and other mages will definitely be sent here if they haven't been wandering around the kingdoms for a long time. Nerfi swept the faces of each archmage. "I've seen most of these people, ah...... That is. Nerfi pointed to Fabioso. "That's Ness's master. ”

"Which one?" Stan looks in the direction Nerfi pointed. "It's a good thing Ness isn't here, otherwise it wouldn't have been a problem. With that, Stan remembered his previous guess with Nerfi. "If Ness has really been captured by the Twilight Cult, then ......"

"Yes, their general offensive is coming. Nerfi took a deep breath and retracted her leaning out.
