Forty-eight is his code name, his name is Li Mao, of course, he is not a member of the Li family, he is just a small blacksmith apprentice in Brocade City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As his name suggests, Li Mao is very polite and deeply loved by his master, if nothing else, he will definitely be an excellent blacksmith, but an accident happens.

Due to the new compulsory education, the then 16-year-old had to go to the academy in the morning and return to the blacksmith shop in the afternoon to study with his master. In the academy's intermediate courses, he was exposed to a lot of knowledge about source energy, and also learned how to awaken the ability to control source energy. The hot blood in the young man's chest made him forget the threat of death, and together with a few classmates, with the help of his seniors, he hunted several alienated rats and devoured their souls.

Several of his classmates died, but he was the only one who survived, and he really succeeded, and from that day on, he became a new powerhouse, although far from being powerful.

Li Mao did not grieve for his dead classmates, in this chaotic and dangerous world, even if he was only a sixteen-year-old child, he knew that anyone must be responsible for their own choices, and when they make a choice, they must accept the consequences that come with it, so he is not sad, just sorry for the dead.

In order to make up for the regret in his heart, he decided to join the sacred city guard with the common wish of the deceased to fight to protect the city of brocade and protect his homeland. From then on, his fate changed, and he became a staunch blacksmith and became a staunch City Guard soldier.

Training, training, listening to lectures, listening to lectures, there is endless training every day, and in the afternoon, there are teachers from time to time to explain various tactical skills to the players, explaining the importance of guarding the brocade city and protecting the homeland.

Li Mao's every day was monotonous and fulfilling, and four whole years passed like this.

Today is Li Mao's twentieth birthday, and it is also the first time he has faced a real enemy.

In the past, in the training, everyone also carried out actual combat exercises, and selected some strange beasts around the city to hunt, so that everyone could taste the taste of blood. In actual combat, Li Mao has killed ferocious beasts with his own hands, and has also witnessed his companions being injured or even killed by beasts, but until today, he has not known what a real war is.

When the black wolf appeared, the hideous appearance and ferocious momentum would also make his legs weak, when the spear pierced into the black wolf's body and took the life of the black wolf, the aroused ferocity also made him and his companions together, let out a thunderous roar, the roar even overwhelmed the black wolf's howl, when the black wolf approached and had to fight in close quarters, the courage that had just been aroused could also support him like a veteran, bravely fighting with the black wolf, stabbing the short sword in his hand into the opponent's body, regardless of whether he could really kill the other party.

However, when the black wolf lost his patience and swarmed up, Li Mao panicked, like every recruit.

The first war five years ago caused the city guard to lose two-thirds of the veterans, and in the past few years, many veterans have to leave the city guard because of their age, and there are some survivors among the veterans who died inexplicably, for various reasons, resulting in the current city guard, the proportion of veterans who have really participated in the alien beast war, even less than a quarter.

So, in front of the tide of black wolves, the recruits panicked, the courage aroused has been exhausted, leaving only fear and despair, if it were not for the sense of responsibility for the homeland behind them, it is estimated that many recruits have fled the battlefield under the stimulation of fear. However, even if they didn't flee now, their hands and feet were sore because of fear, and they had almost lost their combat effectiveness and became a delicious piece of food in front of the black wolf.

Li Mao is one of them, facing the open mouth and sharp fangs of the black wolf more than half a human tall, Li Mao's brain is blank, and the coping methods of countless drills in training have long been driven out of consciousness, Li Mao can only watch blankly as the black wolf gets closer and closer, and the fangs stab at his throat.

"Snort. A short sword stabbed out from his side, stabbing diagonally upwards into the black wolf's open mouth, and stabbing into the black wolf's brain along the softest muscle in his mouth, and the hand holding the sword, before the black wolf could bite hard, quickly retracted, causing the black wolf's two rows of sharp teeth to slam together.

"Waste, seed, cumbersome. A big hand pushed Li Mao aside, and the person who stabbed the short sword behind him spat in disdain, and took a few steps forward to shoulder the responsibility that should have been borne by the two people.

Li Mao looked at the other party in astonishment, he was no stranger to the other party, it was a soldier named Cui Jun in the city guard.

Cui Jun is a veteran who survived five years ago, usually loyal and honest, although he is strong and burly, but he always has a simple smile on his face, even if he is ridiculed by his comrades, he never gets angry, and always touches the back of his head and smirks together.

However, now Cui Jun in Li Mao's eyes is no longer the kind and honest man, at this time, Cui Jun, half of his body has been soaked in blood, a deep cut on his chest, the skin and flesh of the wound are turned out hideously and terrifyingly, if it is not for the protection of protective clothing, this cut is enough to cut his sternum. Moreover, this is not his only wound, count carefully, there are more than a dozen wounds that can be seen on his body, but, as if he was fine, he let the claws of a black wolf, hugged the wolf's head from the side and twisted it hard, and in the crisp sound of bone misalignment, the black wolf collapsed to the ground softly.

"I'm not a burden. The contemptuous taunt made Li Mao angry, angry and ashamed, and made him find that feeling again, the feeling when he was about to devour the soul of the alien beast, the crazy blood made the young Li Mao's face red, bounced up from the ground, clenched his weapon and strode to Cui Jun's side, and stabbed the black wolf in front of him with a sword, "I am also a soldier of the city guard." ”

"I said that you wronged you, but you are still a burden. Cui Jun pulled Li Mao away, let him dodge the black wolf on the side, and kicked the enemy in front of him by the way, and said with a hideous face, "Look at it, see how I fight." ”

"Yes. Li Mao couldn't help but answer loudly, and followed Cui Jun with a few recruits who had gathered, carefully observing his advance and retreat.

For a while, in this small area, the offense and defense between the wolves and the crowd actually reached a short-term balance.

A similar situation is happening in all corners of the entire front, and the grouping carried out by the crow himself has finally had an effect, and the seeds of the replacement of the old and the new are taking root and sprouting silently, if the generals themselves do not make mistakes, the more and more mature recruits will make the outcome of the war without suspense.

However, the generals are now making mistakes, and many times.
