The Art of War

"A general is a man of wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage, and discipline." One needs more than invincible strength to lead an army. It's more about a good mind of leadership and careful planning. As a result, Jiyan's desk is always organized with books on warfare, which are filled with notes reflecting his own strategies.

Medicine Box

Jiyan's enlistment in the army came with a gift from his mother—a medicine box shaped like a Terminal. She feared he would become a killer on the battlefield and reminded him of his role as a healer. He later used it to carry necessary medicines, just in case.

A Corner of Jinzhou

On an ordinary, everyday afternoon in Jinzhou, the sun was shining through the clear sky and spreading to thousands of homes, and Jiyan couldn't help but take pictures of the scene. The soldiers' sacrifices hold even greater significance against this tranquil backdrop.

The Unyielding Will

Shortly after Jiyan's appointment as the Midnight Ranger's general, an unexpected Tacet Discord Outbreak occurred. It was during this battle that he suspected the Threnodian's resurrection. As the weary soldiers recovered from a fierce battle on the frontline, they were greeted by an ominous sight: shadow ravens circling above and swarms of Tacet Discords charging towards their position at the Norfall Barrens and Desorock Highland pass. The outnumbered army knew that failure to defend this stronghold could spell doom for the entire Huanglong. Even seasoned veterans had never faced a crisis as urgent as this one. Amidst the chaos, Jiyan alone remained composed. "All of you. Prepare to fight." "Absurd! If we lose now, it's truly over. We can still retreat and protect the city!" "Choose now: stand with courage, seize our chance. Or run and face defeat. For centuries, the Midnight Rangers have held this pass without retreat. Or do you prefer to go down in history as cowards?" The veterans left, their emotions ranging from disappointment to rage. Jiyan's resolve remained unshaken. He carefully studied real-time images from monitoring devices and noticed a connection between the Tacet Discords and the shadow ravens above. Quickly summoning the other commanders in the military, Jiyan devised a plan and led their coordinated army to face the enemy head-on. With precision, they used Sound Emulators set in a narrow valley to emit the shadow raven's frequency. As he expected, the Tacet Discords were drawn towards the sound, allowing for their easy capture. Meanwhile, the Midnight Rangers stationed at Norfall Barrens were instructed to join hands with their comrades in the Desorock Highland, and carry out a pincer attack on the Tacet Discords. In the midst of a sandstorm, Jiyan bravely fought off hordes of enemies, paving the way for his fellow soldiers with unmatched strength. The Tacet mark on Jiyan's nape was flickering, a sign of Forte overexertion, but he pressed on. His Qingloong flew high in the sky like a proud banner of resolution, never once faltering to the ground.
