Chapter 52 Jiang Han's Analysis
"Yes, the Fountain of Fury can make demons extremely violent. The Black Church has mixed this water into the rainwater, attracting a large number of demons to attack Bo City. The Snow Peak Mountain Post Station may have already fallen."
"How is that possible? Wasn't the Snow Peak Mountain Post Station guarded by Chief Instructor Zhan Kong? With so many Guardian Mages, how could it be so easily breached? And what about Bo City? How is Bo City now?"
What worries Mo Fan the most is his father, Mo Jiaxing, followed by Ye Xinxia and Mu Ningxue.
"I'm not quite sure," Lin Yuxin shook her head.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lin Yuxin and Mo Fan finally emerged from the passage and arrived at the back mountain of Tianlan Magic High School.
When they saw the ruins of Bo City, Mo Fan and Lin Yuxin were both speechless with shock, especially when they saw the huge figure perched atop the Yinmao Building.
"That's the Crimson Alert!!" Lin Yuxin exclaimed in shock, staring at the four crimson beams of light in the distance.
"Isn't that the highest level of alert? Isn't that only issued when hundreds or thousands of demons invade a city?" Mo Fan murmured.
"Yes, this is the first time I've encountered something like this. I've only seen the Bloodstained Alert in documents; I never imagined I'd experience it firsthand. Please keep this safe." Lin Yuxin stared at Mo Fan with her sharp eyes, handing him the bottle containing the Earthly Holy Spring.
"Earthly Sacred Spring? Why was this entrusted to me for safekeeping?" Mo Fan looked at the Earthly Sacred Spring in his hand with considerable surprise.
Lin Yuxin said calmly, "Master Wei's identity is too sensitive, making him more likely to be targeted by the Black Church. If I had other options, I really wouldn't have entrusted the Earthly Holy Spring to you for safekeeping."
"Uh, don't be so blunt, you'll lose all your friends if you do that," Mo Fan complained.
"I hope you can safely deliver the Earthly Sacred Spring to the safety barrier. The Earthly Sacred Spring is too important for Bo City to be lost."
"I understand. I have a favor to ask of you. My father and sister's fate is currently unknown. If you encounter them, I hope you can protect them. Thank you." Mo Fan took out a photo of himself, his father, and Xin Xia from his waist and handed it to Lin Yuxin.
"Okay, I promise you." After saying that, Lin Yuxin disappeared into the torrential rain.

After Jiang Han led the fifth patrol squad away, the Snow Peak Mountain post station, lacking reinforcements, became the scene of a fierce battle. The city walls were littered with the mutilated corpses of demonic Moon Guard mages.
"Hold on for another half hour. Every minute we hold on, the citizens of Bo City will have a better chance of escaping." Zhan Kong encouraged the remaining mages while casting spells. "By the way, where's Bai Yang? Didn't he re-contract a Ghost Wolf Beast a while ago? Tell him to release the Ghost Wolf Beast."
"Boss Zhan Kong, Bai Yang disappeared not long after Jiang Han and the others left," a guard mage on duty replied.
"What? This traitor! It seems I really trusted him wrongly. I hope Jiang Han is alright." Zhan Kong said angrily. "Ignore him. Everyone, retreat to the post station and shorten the defensive line."
After Zhan Kong finished speaking, the guard mages on the city wall began to retreat into the post station. Many more guard mages fell in pools of blood during the retreat, but there was no time for them to grieve. They were guard mages, and they carried the heavy responsibility of guarding Bo City on their shoulders.
······
Ten kilometers outside Bo City, in the mountains, a team of mage guards in military green uniforms were hurrying along. They were the fifth patrol team that Jiang Han had brought to support Bo City. To conserve their mana, Jiang Han flew high in the sky to clear a path for them, quickly dealing with any one-eyed demon wolves that blocked their way with a mid-level lightning strike.
When they were still a few hundred meters away from Bo City, Jiang Han slowly descended from the sky, waiting for Leng Chen (the captain of the fifth patrol team) and his men to arrive. After Leng Chen and the others arrived, Jiang Han said, "The area near the center of Bo City has completely fallen. There are several Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolves guarding the Winged Wolves there. We can only search for surviving civilians in the outer city."
"What Winged Wolf? That's a commander-level demon! How could we in Bo City encounter such a demon?"
"It takes several high-level mages to kill a demon of the commander level. It seems that our Bo City only has one high-level mage, Chief Kong. Does that mean Bo City is doomed?"
"What's there to be discouraged about? I'm the Guardian Mage, we must do everything in our power to save as many as possible!" Leng Chen roared. After intimidating the team members, he looked at Jiang Han, "Brother Jiang Han, do you have a plan?"
Jiang Han picked up a dry branch and drew four circles on the ground. He placed a few pebbles in each circle. The number of pebbles in each circle varied, ranging from six or seven to two or three.
"Look, these represent the Magic Association, the Hunter's Alliance, Tianlan Magic High School, and Mingwen Girls' Middle School in Bo City. Before going to Xuefeng Mountain Station, I had someone notify the Magic Association and the Hunter's Alliance. I think these two organizations should have gathered a large number of magicians and citizens. Even if they can't escort the citizens to the safety barrier, they can still hold their ground."
"Currently, the weakest points in defense are Tianlan Magic High School and Mingwen Girls' Middle School, both of which have a large number of students. Although they are magicians, they have never experienced a life-or-death test. If they encounter demons, they may panic and be unable to cast spells, leading to their deaths."
"It would be difficult for the teachers and school leaders who are located close to the school to protect all the students, so I think we should go to the two schools first."
After listening to Jiang Han's analysis, Leng Chen nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Jiang Han makes a lot of sense. We should indeed go to the school first, after all, the students are the future of Bocheng. So, should we go to Tianlan Magic High School or Mingwen Girls' Middle School first?"
"Let's go to Tianlan Magic High School. From what I've observed, Mingwen Girls' Middle School is too close to the Yinmao Building. If we go there, we're very likely to be discovered by Yi Canglang. Not only will we be able to rescue them, but we might also get ourselves into trouble," Jiang Han said with a bitter expression.
Jiang Han didn't want to go to Mingwen Girls' Middle School. Besides knowing that Ye Xinxia wasn't there, he also knew that there was a passageway under the school's cafeteria, which was one of the exits through which demons attacked Bo City.
"Alright, then we'll do as Brother Jiang Han says. Let's head to Tianlan Magic High School first," Leng Chen nodded.
"Yes, I agree with the captain's suggestion."
As expected of the young man valued by Boss Zhan Kong, his strength and courage are quite impressive, Leng Chen thought to himself.
Jiang Han continued to lead the way, his left arm's Thunder Dragon Bracers only holding 1% of their energy; it would be a long time before he could gather enough energy to unleash high-level magic. Led by Jiang Han, Leng Chen and the others slowly advanced towards Tianlan Magic High School, killing forty-seven Cyclops Wolves and Giant-Eyed Blood Rats along the way, and rescuing over a dozen civilians.
My system points increased by over a hundred, which is almost enough to redeem a 2x cultivation boost card.
Jiang Han was always at the forefront whenever they encountered demons, which deeply moved Leng Chen and the others. What they didn't know was that Jiang Han's willingness to be at the forefront, besides protecting himself from the demons, was also to accumulate the energy needed for the Thunder Dragon Bracers.
When they were still a few hundred meters away from Tianlan Magic High School, one of the rescued citizens spoke up: "Hey, this doesn't seem to be the way to the safety barrier. What are you doing?"
