Just as the battle reached its climax, a deafening thunderclap suddenly resounded from the sky—a powerful natural force that had been previously unnoticed had finally descended upon this land!
Then a torrential downpour began, and countless bolts of lightning flashed and collided among the dark clouds. Affected by this sudden turn of events, both the offensive and defensive sides found themselves extremely passive.
Even so, no one present stopped. On the contrary, their belief in victory became even stronger...
"Hurry! There's a breach over there we can exploit!" A brave soldier risked his life to pass through layers of protective netting to deliver valuable information to his comrades;
"Keep increasing the output! Don't give the enemy a chance to breathe!" The red-clad witch refused to give up easily, even after exhausting her last bit of magic.
Zhao De, on the other hand, used his exceptional martial arts skills to kill several enemy generals in succession, inspiring more followers to rekindle their hope...
"Zhao De, watch your back!" Liu Ruyan's voice suddenly rang out amidst the chaos. Zhao De instinctively took a step back, a cold glint of light grazing his face. He swiftly turned, his longsword meeting the attacker's blade. Sparks flew as the two weapons clashed, producing a deafening metallic scraping sound.
"You despicable scoundrel!" Zhao De roared, shoving his opponent several steps back. But he had no time to catch his breath; more enemies had already surrounded him.
Just then, a green arrow shot out from the side, striking the attacker squarely in the throat. The man's eyes widened, he clutched his neck, staggered a few steps, and finally collapsed heavily to the ground.
"Thank you." Zhao De nodded slightly to Liu Ruyan. Although ordered to retreat to the safe zone, this resolute female commander clearly did not intend to completely obey.
“We’re partners, after all,” Liu Ruyan shrugged lightly. “Besides, you seem a bit overwhelmed.”
The two stood back to back, surrounded by a dense swarm of enemies. The rain continued to pour down, soaking their battle robes. Yet, amidst the storm, the two seemed to grow even more resolute and fearless.
Meanwhile, the red-clad witch continued to unleash powerful magic. Streaks of flame, like long dragons, snaked across the battlefield, carving out seas of fire. Anyone attempting to approach her was repelled by her intense heat. "Trying to defeat me? Far from it!" A cold smile played on her lips as runes on her fingers shifted and combined, unleashing even more powerful spells.
The elven hunter moved through the woods, searching for the best sniping angle. Each draw of the bowstring meant the end of a life. "Don't move!" he whispered, aiming again at an enemy trying to stealthily approach his companions. With the vibration of the bowstring, the arrow pierced its target accurately. But at that moment, a lightly armed infantryman suddenly leaped from the bushes and slashed at the elf's back with a short sword…

Fortunately, a long, thin, and incredibly sharp dagger struck his wrist, forcing him to release his weapon. Immediately afterward, a dark figure flashed into view, launching a series of lightning-fast attacks until the soldier collapsed in a pool of blood.
"You...who are you?" The still-shaken elf turned around and asked.
The shadowy figure slowly revealed its true form: a masked female assassin. "I'm here to help," she replied calmly. "You've been fighting here long enough; it's time to teach the enemy a lesson."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire battlefield seemed to fall silent for a few seconds. Then, a loud explosion came from afar—it turned out that at the height of the battle, Zhao De and his men had successfully detonated the explosives they had planted beforehand!
The immense explosive force not only destroyed many enemy positions, but more importantly, it broke the existing stalemate. "The opportunity has arrived! All troops, attack!" Liu Ruyan shouted, leading all her remaining comrades forward. Their eyes burned with the fire of revenge, their hearts filled with only the thought of victory…
Meanwhile, on the other side, the red-clad witch and her new helper worked in perfect harmony. The former used magic to suppress the enemy's offensive; the latter, with her keen insight, found the optimal entry point. "Follow me!" she whispered, her figure vanishing from sight in an instant. Immediately afterwards, screams of agony filled the air…
Seeing the situation about to reverse, the enemy commander became extremely anxious. "Quickly organize a defensive line! We absolutely cannot let these guys succeed!" he roared. "Anyone who can't hold them off will have to leave their lives behind!"
But it was too late—with the launch of a new offensive, the once impregnable fortress was already crumbling...
Back to back, Zhao De and Liu Ruyan faced the dense horde of enemies, their eyes showing no fear. Rain soaked their hair, but it only strengthened their mutual trust. "We can't stop, we must keep going!" Zhao De's voice was firm and powerful, seemingly instilling strength in everyone around him.
“You’re right.” Liu Ruyan nodded in response, her long sword twirling gently in her hand. “Only by overcoming the obstacles before us can we see the dawn of the future.”
Just then, a burly man clad in heavy armor charged towards them, wielding a giant axe. Zhao De kept a close eye on his opponent's every move, his sword already poised to strike. As the man closed in, Zhao De leaped up, his sword tip aimed directly at his throat. The man reacted swiftly, blocking the attack with his axe, but the powerful impact still forced him to stagger back several steps.
"You little devil, you've got some skills." The burly man panted, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, but he still wouldn't give up. "But that's all."
Before he could finish speaking, he swung his incredibly heavy weapon again, attempting to knock Zhao De down in one fell swoop. But this time, Liu Ruyan swiftly intervened from behind, deftly pushing the burly man off course. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao De quickly adjusted his stance, his sword tracing a perfect arc—precisely severing the helmet strap around the burly man's neck. The defenseless man instantly collapsed to the ground, his blood staining the rain-soaked earth.
The two exchanged a smile, and then faced the next challenger.

Chapter 1258 Wisdom and Courage
This battle was not only a contest of strength and skill, but also a battle of wits and courage. Meanwhile, the Red Witch encountered some tricky problems. Having just finished a fierce magical duel and preparing to recover her strength, she suddenly sensed something was amiss…
“Things over there aren’t looking good,” she muttered to herself, not because she was in danger, but because she realized the enemy seemed to be trying to break through from one direction. If they didn’t act quickly, the consequences would be dire. So the witch decided to take action. “I need your help,” she said, turning to the veiled woman.
"Go ahead and say it," the latter replied calmly, showing no fear even though he knew what might happen next was even more dangerous.
At the same time, the elven hunter noticed something amiss: his friend, who was supposed to be providing support from afar, had suddenly appeared in the center of the battlefield and seemed to be under threat from multiple sides. "It seems this is the only way..." After a slight hesitation, he made a decisive decision.
“Don’t worry, I’ll cover your retreat,” he promised his new companion, then swiftly fired several arrows, buying himself precious time. The elven warrior nimbly weaved through the enemy ranks and quickly reached his friend. “Follow me,” he said, and the two ran together towards safety.
Back with Zhao De and Liu Ruyan, as they dealt with the last wave of enemies and were preparing to rest, they suddenly heard screams coming from not far away. Clearly, someone was in trouble. Without a second thought, the two immediately took off running towards the direction of the sound…
"Who is it?" Liu Ruyan, who was running at the front, shouted. As she approached the scene, the sight that came into view made her pause in surprise—it was the black-clad assassin who had once fought alone against numerous enemies, now lying severely wounded in a pool of blood. "We must treat her quickly," she said, reaching out to help him up.
"Wait, look over there!" A voice suddenly drew everyone's attention. In the distance, flames soared into the sky, accompanied by deafening explosions, and a thick plume of smoke billowed out. Undoubtedly, the explosives planted earlier had taken effect…
"Quick! We must bring her back!" Zhao De said urgently, lifting the wounded female assassin onto his shoulder. He turned to Liu Ruyan, "Go contact the medical team and tell them to prepare."
“Okay.” Liu Ruyan nodded, quickly pulled out her communicator from her pocket, and contacted headquarters while running. However, their movements attracted the attention of the enemy, and several figures rushed out of the shadows and blocked their way.
Zhao De frowned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "Liu Ruyan, you go first, I'll cover you." Before he finished speaking, he had already swung his sword, aiming straight for the nearest enemy. The man was quite agile and barely managed to block the attack, but was still forced back several steps by Zhao De's force.
"Trying to escape? Not so easy!" another soldier roared, thrusting his spear forward. Zhao De dodged to the side, his longsword slicing off the spearhead. At the same time, Liu Ruyan was equally formidable, her longsword slicing through the air, accurately striking a soldier attempting to ambush her. The two fought back-to-back, supporting each other perfectly.

Just then, the sound of bowstrings vibrating rang out, and the elven hunter suddenly appeared on a tree not far away. Several arrows shot out in quick succession, instantly taking down several enemies. "Get out of here quickly, I'll hold them off!" he shouted, then leaped down from the tree trunk and engaged the enemies in fierce hand-to-hand combat.
With the elven hunter providing cover, Zhao De and Liu Ruyan finally had a chance to break through. The two ran swiftly through the dense forest, heading towards the medical station. They easily dispatched any stragglers they encountered along the way. Soon, they arrived at the medical tent, and Liu Ruyan immediately called for the medical staff to begin treating the wounded female assassin.
Medical personnel sprang into action, treating her wounds and administering medication. The female assassin, pale-faced, still managed to open her eyes and glance at the group, weakly saying, "Thank you...all of you."
"Don't be so polite, let's rest now," Liu Ruyan comforted, then turned to Zhao De standing beside her. "What we need to do next is hold this place and prevent the enemy from continuing their attack."
Zhao De nodded, his eyes resolute: "That's right, we can't let them take this opportunity to break through the defenses."
Liu Ruyan quickly gathered her thoughts and began to arrange the next tasks: "The medical team should complete the treatment of the wounded as soon as possible. The rest of you should prepare weapons and equipment. We need to hold this area. The elven hunter also needs support. Try to get the messages to him."
Just as they were discussing countermeasures, the red-clad witch rushed over, her face filled with urgency: "The enemy has begun to concentrate its forces to launch an attack from the west. We must strengthen the defenses there."
Zhao De immediately understood: "Alright, you lead a team to support the west side, I'll stay here to command."
“Alright, I will do my best.” The red-clad witch nodded in agreement, then turned and beckoned a small group of people beside her to follow her away.
Zhao De and Liu Ruyan returned to the center of the battlefield and found several soldiers cleaning up the scene and collecting enemy corpses. "How is it? Are there any wounded?" Zhao De asked.
One of the soldiers replied, "Reporting to the captain, we have taken a headcount. Three people have minor injuries and have received initial treatment. They can continue fighting."
Zhao De patted him on the shoulder: "Well done, but the real test is yet to come. Everyone must remain vigilant."
Just then, a communicator nearby suddenly rang; it was an emergency call from the front lines. Liu Ruyan quickly picked up the communicator and answered, "This is Liu Ruyan, please speak."
A tense and urgent voice came from the other end of the communicator: "The enemy has broken through the first line of defense on the west side and is now advancing towards your position! Please prepare for battle!"
Liu Ruyan's face darkened, and she turned to Zhao De: "They're here."
“I know,” Zhao De gripped his sword hilt tightly. “Notify everyone to prepare for battle. We must hold this place!”
No sooner had he finished speaking than a deafening explosion erupted from the west, billowing thick smoke. Immediately afterward, a large number of enemy troops surged towards their lines. Zhao De waved for his men to engage, and then charged forward himself.
"Liu Ruyan, let's join forces again!" Zhao De shouted.
“Of course, we will fight side by side to the end!” Liu Ruyan replied. The two stood together in tacit understanding, their swords clashing as they met the oncoming enemy.
At that moment, a tall enemy wielding a heavy axe charged straight at them. Zhao De reacted quickly and rushed forward to meet him.

Chapter 1260 Our Battle
"This time, I won't let you succeed so easily!" he roared, swinging his longsword and slamming it heavily against the giant axe. The powerful impact forced his opponent to stagger backward.
Liu Ruyan was not to be outdone; her figure moved like a ghost through the enemy ranks, and with a flash of sword light, she had already cut down several enemies. Her movements were swift and swift, like the dancing wind.
Meanwhile, the elven hunter and the masked woman remained steadfast in the woods, relentlessly firing at the approaching enemies. "Watch the left flank!" the elven hunter warned his companion as he fired an arrow. The masked woman reacted swiftly, her short sword flashing across the neck of an enemy attempting to ambush them.
As time went on, more and more enemies joined the battle, and the situation became increasingly critical. Just when Zhao De and Liu Ruyan felt overwhelmed, a familiar voice came: "Need help?"
Everyone looked up and saw a witch in a red robe arriving with a group of reinforcements. The red-robed witch's eyes gleamed with determination, and with a gentle wave of her magic wand, a powerful wall of fire instantly formed, blocking the enemy's advance.
Zhao De breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with satisfaction: "Thank you for your timely support, otherwise we probably wouldn't have been able to hold out for long."
“Let’s support each other. This is our battle,” the red-clad witch replied, then turned to the soldiers beside her and ordered, “Everyone, charge! Defend every inch of this land!”
With the arrival of reinforcements, the situation gradually improved. Zhao De and Liu Ruyan fought even more bravely, and the contest between the two sides became increasingly fierce.
Liu Ruyan's swordsmanship grew increasingly fierce, each strike hitting the enemy's vitals with pinpoint accuracy. Zhao De, on the other hand, was like a ferocious tiger, rampaging across the battlefield. His longsword seemed to come alive in his hands, each strike brimming with power.
Just then, a tall enemy charged at Liu Ruyan, his heavy axe whistling as it came down on her. Liu Ruyan swiftly dodged to the side, simultaneously slashing her sword at the enemy's arm. But the enemy's axe didn't stop; instead, it changed direction and struck directly at Zhao De.
"Watch out!" Liu Ruyan shouted. Zhao De quickly dodged, but the axe still grazed his left shoulder, and blood immediately gushed out. Zhao De gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain, and thrust his sword straight at the enemy's heart. The enemy fell to the ground, but more enemies swarmed in.
"Liu Ruyan, we must retreat!" Zhao De said breathlessly, knowing he could no longer continue fighting.
Liu Ruyan nodded, a resolute glint in her eyes: "I understand, but we're surrounded now, how are we going to escape?"
Suddenly, an arrow shot out from the woods, striking an enemy charging towards them squarely in the throat. Immediately afterward, more arrows rained down, catching the enemy completely off guard. Zhao De and Liu Ruyan looked up and saw the elven hunter and the masked woman leading a group of archers charging towards them.
"We'll help you break through!" The elven hunter pointed forward, gesturing for Zhao De and Liu Ruyan to follow him.
Zhao De nodded gratefully, then turned to the soldiers and shouted, "Everyone, listen to my command! Follow the direction of the arrows and break through!"
The soldiers sprang into action, following the elven hunters' directions, retreating into the northern woods. Along the way, the masked woman and the elven hunters continuously fired, covering their retreat.
