Roland, the last kingdom of mankind, was destroyed.
Three hundred thousand defenders and two hundred thousand civilians were reduced to ruins overnight.
When Ellen Roland climbed out of the pile of corpses, he only had a jade pendant on his body and his mind was filled with tens of thousands of books memorized from the library. He is a descendant of a branch of the royal family, a third-level useless mage who can't even use a decent attack magic.
But he has a "civilization reconstruction system" that he brought with him when he traveled through time - not a golden finger, just some basic supplies and drawings. What really kept him alive was the knowledge in his head and the few people around him who also crawled out of the dead:
Ren Tiebei, a seventh-level general with a disabled right arm; Melissa Starlight, a fifth-level great magician whose magic power was suppressed to only 10% by the ban; there are also seven veterans, two farmers, a blacksmith apprentice, three craftsmen, and a seven-year-old little girl.
Seventeen people escaped from the swamp for six days, avoiding the sixth-order rock python, and finally found a high ground where they could settle down and live.
They called it "Camp Hope."
But hope is never shouted out.
The million-strong army of the Orc Empire is still mopping up the remaining humans, and the rift in the void is ready to move under the thousand-year seal. However, the dragon clan, which is said to be able to reverse the situation of the war, has long been sleeping in the dragon nest at the northernmost point of the continent, and no one knows about it.
Allen had no time to lament. He only knows that people who are alive must always have hope.
This is a story about rebuilding civilization from the ruins. There are no divine weapons, no bloodline awakenings, just a group of people who don't want to die, using their brains, hands, and lives to rekindle the fire of mankind little by little!
