The artillery fire was deafening, and one shell after another burst into brilliant flames in the ruined city.

In the midst of the violent explosions, a group of figures were moving slowly through the area where they had just been shelled.

It is a team of orphans left behind by the war, the oldest of whom is approaching adulthood, and the youngest is a baby waiting to be fed, holding hands and helping each other over the wreckage of one collapsed and dilapidated building.

Leading them was a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard and many terrible scars on his face, he was sturdy, wearing a whitish gray robe, like a gray light, and he deftly jumped back and forth between the ruins, guiding the children behind him.

At this moment, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came!

"Quick, kids get down!"

In the dark night, the middle-aged man suddenly sat up from the bed with a surprise and was confused for a few seconds, only to realize that he had a nightmare and a false alarm.

He exhaled deeply, raised his hand and wiped it on his forehead, was stunned for a moment, and looked sideways, only to see that his palms were already full of sweat.

"Is it a dream, dreams can be so real......"

The sudden movement behind him made the middle-aged man's words stop abruptly, and the years of war experience made him react instantly, and when he turned around, his right arm jerked back, but when he saw the source of the abnormal movement, he suddenly relaxed like a deflated ball.

"Hug!"

The immature voice interrupted the middle-aged man's rebuke that he was about to blurt out, he sighed helplessly, and reached out to hug the girl who was smiling at him.

"Sir?"

The middle-aged man followed the prestige, and it was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy who was looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong?" Shaking the girl in his hand and laughing, the middle-aged man asked, but the next second, he saw the boy's sleepy eyes, and immediately said apologetically: "Did I wake you up?" ”

"No, sir, it's getting cold." The boy smiled and shook his head, his immature face revealing maturity that did not match his age.

"Yes, thank you, Arendt." The middle-aged man responded with a smile, "Don't call me Mr. in the future, just call me by my first name, Mandel." ”

"How's that going to work, sir?" The boy named Arendt hurriedly shook his head, and there was a hint in his tone that could not be refused.

Sir, this is the greatest honorific title for a person in Hovajona, obviously, in the eyes of boys? The actions of middle-aged men are worthy of this title.

See Arendt's stubborn look? The middle-aged Mandel sighed helplessly? Okay, okay, shout ...... guys"

Suddenly, his face changed drastically? It's too late to even put down the girl in your hand? An arrow strides to the entrance to the ruins.

At this moment, Mandel and the others are under a piece of rubble that has not yet completely collapsed? The narrow entrance and the desolate surrounding landscape allow them to effectively hide from enemy detection, while the heavy, insulated floor slabs overhead help them avoid the scanning of thermometers.

Protecting the back of the girl's head with his hand, Mandel cautiously poked his head out and looked out? Moment? The flickering red and green dots of light in the dark night sky made his pupils shrink suddenly.

"Quick!" Mandel turned around and yelled at Arendt, "Get everyone up!" We were discovered! ”

Mandel's exclamation sobered Arendt instantly, and he turned around in a panic, clapping his hands vigorously and shouting out the names of his companions.

How fast do children respond? Still confused at first? But they came back to their senses in an instant, packed their bags, and carried them on their shoulders in less than a minute? The speed is so fast that I am afraid that even ordinary professional soldiers will be ashamed to see it.

"One...... XV, XVI. It wasn't until he saw Arendt, who was in charge of the broken back, appear, that the middle-aged man turned around and swept through the ruins, and after confirming it again, he turned the hood behind the robe, tied it tightly, and quickly followed.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The roar of engines in the sky had become more pronounced, and as the sound grew louder, a hint of horror appeared on the children's faces.

"It's a roadblocker bomber." With the help of the moonlight, Arendt could clearly see the four propellers on the left and right wings of the plane.

Mandel snorted lightly, as if he didn't care, but in fact, his heart had sunk to the bottom.

The Barricade Bomber, as the name suggests, is a bomber specially developed to intercept the enemy, and it carries high-precision instruments that can make it impossible for a group of people to hide even in the dark.

"Sir, are we going to die?" Arendt's voice interrupted Mandel's sorrow, and his lips moved slightly, smiling again, "Are you afraid?" ”

"I'm afraid." Arendt nodded, no matter how mature he was, he was only a fifteen-year-old boy.

"Why, the adults don't want to let us go, we haven't done anything bad." Arendt's thin little face was full of resentment.

But Mandel couldn't reply to him, because.

That's their life.

Hovahona is a planet that has reached quasi-space civilization, and like most planets, human beings are the masters of civilization on this planet, and it can even be said that they are the only masters, because on Hovahona, human beings have solved all the problems of genetic diseases through genetic screening technology, and with the development of science and technology, various diseases are gradually being eliminated, but the prosperity is only the scene on the surface of Hovahona, and with the spread of genetic technology achievements, crises are also quietly accompanied.

Magical energy.

This is the general name of Hovahona's abilities and abilities, and it can be seen from the title that the Hovahona civilization has great resistance to abilities and abilities.

In fact, on the planet Hovajona, there are two words to add to the end of the magic energy.

Scourge.

Genetic screening technology has dramatically accelerated the growth rate of the Hovahona humans, to the point that their average personal body values have even surpassed those of those who have reached the pinnacle of space civilization.

The large-scale, even explosive, emergence of capable people is inevitable.

But apparently, the Hovahona civilization was not up to the task.

The emergence of the capable has turned society into chaos, with no legal sanctions, no countermeasures, and tragedies caused by the capable continue to occur in the Hovahona civilization, which advocates gun prohibition and freedom.

This is a catastrophe that has not been encountered in the nearly 1,000 years since the emergence of the Khovahona civilization.

The originally hostile nations came together under the threat of the Magicians, and the Coalition Government of Hovahona came into being, and they tried to use scientific methods to restrain the Magicians for their use.

But this conundrum is something that even a stellar civilization can't do easily, and how can a quasi-space civilization do it, and the outcome is as expected, the coalition government fails.

With the failure of the experiment, it means that there is no hope of peacefully resolving the problem of the Mages, and there is only one option left.

The coalition government understands that if the Demonic Powers are not solved in the embryonic stage, once they are gradually full-fledged, then it will only be themselves who will be overthrown and destroyed.

A bloody repression by force came suddenly.

Due to the extreme behavior of a few demons, coupled with the deliberate propaganda of the coalition government, the demons have become rats crossing the street, and under the offensive of the coalition government's army, countless towns related to the demons have been destroyed, and those humans who tried to live in peace with the demons have also been slaughtered.

"Sir, do you say, can we go back to our old lives?"

Arendt's voice woke Mandel, who turned to look at the former man.

Before the outbreak of the war, Arendt was born in a wealthy family, his parents were high-level intellectuals, and he had a lot of income, but Arendt's sudden awakening of magic broke the peace of the family, and the originally happy childhood was gone, the disgust of his parents and the hatred of the people around him, made Arendt feel what is called the hot and cold of the world, and also made him mature early, but the war machine did not stop in a hurry because he was a child, and his parents' denunciations put him in prison, if he didn't happen to meet Mandel......

"Yes, probably." Mandel's tone was uncertain, but Arendt, who was on the side, smiled with satisfaction when he received this reply.

Seeing this smile, Mandel's mood suddenly became complicated.

Before his awakening, he was a highly decorated military officer who had been received and honored by the top leaders of his country many times, but he also suffered injuries as a result, and even the speed that he was proud of before was greatly reduced due to injuries to his legs.

But the awakening of the magic energy gave him a new life, Mandel still does not know what his magic power is, only knows that he can speed up the treatment of other people's non-fatal injuries, which makes him very popular in the army, but then the sudden change of the situation in the outside world made everyone's opinion of him suddenly change, when the war broke out, if it were not for the reminder of his comrades-in-arms who shared the hardships back then, he was afraid that he would have died in the hands of his own people.

But behind the tragedy is often an even greater tragedy, after the outbreak of war, after experiencing the tragic deaths of relatives and friends and witnessing the government's ruthless extermination of the demons, Mandel is full of boundless anger and angrily joins the rebellion formed by the demons.

With the addition of Mandel, the lineup of magicians is like a tiger, but the arms can't twist the thighs after all, under the suppression of absolute strength and firepower, the magician camp was quickly broken apart, and after the death of several main leaders, the remaining magicians can only choose to flee separately, and Mandel is one of them.

The rest of the story is that he meets Arendt, the lucky ones who were abandoned or narrowly escaped the slaughter while on the run.

"Sir!" Suddenly, a rapid exclamation came from the quiet ranks.

Mandel furrowed his brows and followed the voice as he stepped forward.

"What's going on?" Mandel came next to the boy who made the noise, the boy's name was McConnor, and the magic power could help others to slow down their nerves, and all Mandel asked him to take care of the younger children in the group.

"Nitya says she's hearing something different!" As he spoke, McConaughey shook the child clinging to his shoulder, the same girl who had begged Mandel to hug him.

Taking a deep breath, Mandel forced himself to smile, the girl in front of her heard strangely from ordinary people, and the team evaded the ground search team many times by relying on her magic ability, so Mandel had to pay attention to it, but also because she witnessed the tragic death of her parents in the hands of the army, Nitya was extremely afraid of life and her personality was also very introverted.

"Nydia, what kind of voice is it?"

Nytia's smart eyes flashed, and she imitated: "Bang, bell, bang, bell......"

Hearing this, Mandel trembled, and was about to call everyone to speed up their pace, but suddenly there was a sharp whistling sound above his head!

"Lying ......"

Before the words could be blurted out, the dazzling firelight suddenly cracked a hundred meters away.

Attack is coming!

Shaking his dizzy head, Mandel hurriedly got up to check the safety of the rest of the team, seeing that everyone was fine, Mandel was just about to exhale the breath he was holding in his mouth, but the next second, the buzzing sound caused by the explosion in his ears suddenly disappeared, and then, the sound of the mechanical operation came into his ears.

"Tracks!?"

Mandel was startled, and crawled to call for everyone to get up and go back on the road, and at this moment, a dazzling white lamppost suddenly lit up, pointing directly at Mandel.

"Bang, bang." The sound of tapping on the microphone suddenly resounded.

"All the magicians raised their hands and faced us, standing three meters apart!"

It seemed that seeing that Mandel and the others had not moved, the machine gun on the armored car suddenly opened fire, and a straight line of fire swept dozens of meters in front of Mandel, and the splashing rubble frightened some young children in the team to suddenly let out bursts of sobbing and exclamation.

Mandel's face was dead, and he crept into his lower back, where a grenade was hidden, his last gift to his enemies.

"Don't move, you ......"

The officer in the armored car saw Mandel's small movements clearly through the night vision goggles, and immediately burst into tears, but the next moment, another voice sounded on the radio, full of shock.

"Battalion commander! Look at the sky! ”

The exclamation was accompanied by the announcement, and all the officers and soldiers looked up into the air, and Mandel saw this opportunity and was about to make a move, but a beam of light that lit up like day interrupted his next move!

"The bomber was destroyed!"

"Quick, raise the muzzle, air defense squad, air squad?!"

There was a panic in the broadcast, and Mandel was also shocked by the sudden explosion in mid-air, but the next moment, his face was overjoyed, thinking that a more powerful magician had come to solve himself and the others, but when he looked up and saw it clearly, his expression was stunned.

Above the sky is a giant battleship that is extremely black!

"Fire, fire!"

The battalion commander shouted into the walkie-talkie, unaware that his orders had already been resounded through the ruins through the radio.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Countless bullets shot into the air, and dozens of missiles also rushed straight up with slender tail flames.

The sudden start of the battle quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding exterminating army.

Under one command after another, the army began to gather rapidly.

The roar of planes was dense and neat, and more and more lampposts pierced the darkness and hurried towards the blind and devastated town.

A big war is inevitable.
