“We will follow you!” The old village chief nodded resolutely.
The air was thick with tension; another major battle seemed imminent.
At this tense and suffocating moment, more figures appeared on the distant horizon, carrying their equipment and rushing towards the location—clearly, more Allied forces were arriving to provide support…
As new reinforcements arrived on the battlefield, Zhao De's belief in protecting the world grew even stronger. "No matter what, as long as we are united, there is no difficulty we cannot overcome!"
And so, in the midst of this long night, a magnificent scene unfolded, a contest of fate and courage...
The red-clad witch turned to the mysterious man and Zhao De, smiling, and said, "Now, let us witness a miracle..."
As the new reinforcements gradually came into view, they included warriors in heavy armor, mysterious mages in long robes, elven hunters carrying giant bows, and several simply dressed but imposing cultivators.
These people joined the battle lines that had already formed, their eyes filled with a desire for victory.
An elven hunter, carrying a bow and arrows, with a handsome face but exuding a powerful aura, stepped forward and asked, "Is this the chosen one of the God of Light you speak of?"
“Yes.” The red-clad witch nodded with a smile. “Don’t let his young age fool you; his power is truly remarkable.”
"Hey, let's have a good look today." A burly warrior wielding a greatsword laughed heartily. "Kid, good luck! Let's protect this world together today."
Upon hearing this, Zhao De became even more determined. "Okay! Thank you everyone, I won't let you down."
Meanwhile, the enemy leader was coldly directing his men to prepare for an attack. "Hmph, no matter how many helpers we have, it's useless. Before absolute power, everything will turn to nothingness!" he loudly proclaimed his arrogant words, and the magical beasts beside him let out chilling roars.

Chapter 1239 The Centralmost Point of the Crowd
In this tense atmosphere, a fierce confrontation was about to break out.
The two sides quickly began to clash, unleashing their most powerful moves. Zhao De's dazzling wings flapped incessantly, leaving brilliant trails in the night sky.
The new members also demonstrated impressive skills – from long-range precision shooting to close-quarters combat, everyone performed at their best.
Although the villagers could not directly participate in the battle, they all kept their eyes glued to the battlefield, their emotions rising and falling with each wave of attack.
An elderly woman tightly gripped her granddaughter, muttering, "My God... how can these children be so amazing? It's unbelievable!"
Another elderly man nearby, his face filled with both horror and excitement, exclaimed, "Look! Look! That boy is as dazzling as a star in the sky! He's like a hero from an ancient legend reborn!"
The children's eyes widened, and one of them excitedly shouted, "The older brothers and sisters are so awesome! Especially that little brother who's shining—he's super handsome! I want to be as amazing as him!"
Just as the battle reached its climax, the black-clad men's formation began to falter—after all, being outnumbered and facing a constant influx of reinforcements made their situation increasingly difficult. However, their leader refused to concede: "Even so, we can't possibly lose! Everyone, give it your all! We must win this battle no matter what!"
Suddenly, a small figure leaped into the air. Zhao De used all his strength to deliver a final blow, shouting, "For this land, for the light, please let the darkness vanish!" A huge beam of energy shot out, its target the very center of the black-clad crowd.
This sight shocked not only all friendly forces but even some enemies involuntarily stopped what they were doing—no one had expected a child to possess such devastating power. When the explosion finally subsided, only a deep crater and the fallen man in black remained…
But just when everyone thought everything had settled down, a deep voice rang out again: "I didn't expect something so interesting to happen..."
As the words fell, a new face emanating an aura of the underworld slowly appeared in the distance, a slightly sarcastic smile playing on its lips as it looked at them and said, "What a brave bunch of humans... Too bad, all of this is in vain before true evil..."
"Who...who are you?" Faced with this powerful being who was clearly not human, even the usually calm and collected mysterious man showed a hint of nervousness.
The other person simply shook their head, not answering the question directly, but instead provocatively saying, "You'll find out soon enough. Remember everything that happened tonight, because it will be where your nightmare begins."
Having said that, he turned and left, seemingly disregarding everyone present. Watching that receding figure, Zhao De clenched his fists tightly. "No matter who you are, if you want to harm the innocent, you'll have to get past me first!" He silently vowed to find a way to defeat the opponent and protect the future of everyone.

"So what should we do next?" the young soldier asked anxiously. "That new enemy looks very troublesome, and we need to come up with a solution as soon as possible."
The red-clad witch nodded in agreement and offered her advice: "The most important thing now is to consolidate our existing achievements and ensure the safety of the people; as for longer-term development strategies, we can discuss them later."
As everyone discussed their next move, the villagers gradually calmed down, though some still whispered about the terrifying scene they had just witnessed. A slightly bolder child secretly ran to the red-clad witch, looked up, and asked, "Sister, who was that new person? They looked really scary..."
“Yes, even the chosen ones of the God of Light seem a little nervous,” a young mother said worriedly, her tone revealing undisguised fear.
At this moment, the elven hunter carrying a bow and arrow stepped forward and reassured us in a firm voice: "Don't worry, no matter how strong the enemy is, as long as we are united, there is no difficulty we cannot overcome."
Hearing this, the crowd calmed down a bit, and everyone cast grateful glances at the hunter. "Thank you," the young mother gently patted her daughter's arm to comfort her, "As long as you're here, I believe everything will be alright."
However, on a path not far away on the other side, several men dressed in black robes with sinister faces were secretly observing the entire scene. "It seems our master was right; these people are indeed extraordinary," one of them muttered to himself in an almost inaudible voice.
Meanwhile, Zhao De and his companions huddled together, discussing countermeasures. The warrior wielding the greatsword spoke up, "We must quickly devise a defensive plan. Who knows when that mysterious figure might suddenly launch an attack?"
The mysterious mage nodded in agreement, adding, "And we'd better set up some traps or warning devices nearby, so we don't get caught off guard by the enemy."
After a moment of contemplation, the red-clad witch said, "I think we should seek help from more people. Besides here, there are many other forces on the continent like ours that are willing to fight against the forces of darkness."
“That’s right!” another cultivator agreed. “Perhaps we can first send a few messengers to various places to gather more patriots.”
Just as everyone was discussing, Liu Ruyan timidly walked up to Zhao De and asked, "Brother, you will always protect us, right?" Her innocent words made everyone stop arguing and look at Zhao De. They all knew that at this moment, the most important thing for the people was confidence.
Zhao De took a deep breath and replied with a gentle smile, "Of course we will, don't worry! It's not just me who's working hard; all the adults here will prevent any danger from happening."
Liu Ruyan seemed moved by this determination, a relieved smile appearing on her face. This scene was also witnessed by other onlookers, many of whom couldn't help but admire the courage of this young girl who shouldered such a heavy responsibility.
However, just as the atmosphere was beginning to relax, several piercing screams from afar shattered the tranquility of the night.
Everyone immediately became alert, realizing that this might be the first probing attack by a new enemy or a harbinger of even more egregious actions...
Chapter 1241 Staying Here and Awaiting Orders
Chapter 1241 Staying here on standby.
"It seems there's no time to waste." Zhao De pointed to the faint movement flickering in the shadows ahead. "Let's act immediately!"
As the order was given, everyone quickly went into combat mode, and the air was filled with the heavy smell of gunpowder once again.
The red-clad witch immediately took out a faintly glowing crystal from her waist and swiftly tossed it into the air. Instantly, a dazzling white light burst forth from the crystal, forming a semi-transparent energy barrier that enveloped the entire village.
"This barrier can temporarily protect us from external forces," the red-clad witch said quickly, "but it won't last long. We must act as soon as possible."
At that moment, the elven hunter carrying a bow and arrows had already silently leaped onto the rooftop, his eyes fixed on the movements in the shadows in the distance. His gaze was sharp, and his longbow was slightly drawn. "I'll scout ahead and buy everyone some time," he said, before disappearing like an arrow released from a bow.
The young soldier immediately picked up a steel shield beside him and said in a deep voice, "I will stay here and wait for orders. If that new enemy dares to attack, I will be the first to go up and fight."
Meanwhile, in a makeshift command post set up in the center of the village, the mysterious mage was engrossed in studying a complex map. His finger traced faint blue-purple lines. “According to my previous research, this place is low-lying and easily accessible, making it a strategically important and difficult-to-attack location… but—” his tone suddenly turned serious, “if they launch a large-scale destructive attack, we might not be able to withstand it with manpower alone.”
Zhao De nodded, then turned to the greatsword-wielding man who was directing the other soldiers in building a defensive line. "So, what other countermeasures do you think we should take?"
The greatsword warrior put down his tools, wiped the sweat from his brow, and replied, "I think we need to assign people to set up multiple small defensive positions around the village and establish a signal system to communicate with each other."
At this moment, Liu Ruyan gently tugged at her brother's sleeve again, "You all speak so professionally, I want to help too!" The girl's childish voice said with a hint of defiance, "Don't treat me like a child!"
Looking into those clear and determined eyes, Zhao De felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He bent down and said softly, "Alright, alright, then you'll be in charge of relaying messages! This is very important to us!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than several blinding streaks of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by deafening explosions—the enemy seemed to have begun their attack!
The elven hunter was the first to notice something amiss. "That's the direction of the forest to the north! A large number of unidentified objects are rapidly approaching!" he exclaimed, immediately issuing a warning.
Upon receiving the news, everyone immediately went into emergency mode, and Zhao De and several agile soldiers rushed to the scene to provide support.
Just as the battle was about to begin, several black-robed figures, who had remained hidden from the crowd and unnoticed by others, began to stir...
“Now is the perfect time!” the leader whispered, “Sneak in during the chaos and find 'that thing'.”
Meanwhile, the elf hunters and their companions had ventured deep into the dense forest, where they discovered that the so-called "unidentified objects" were actually a group of mutated monsters!

"What are these creatures...? I've never seen them before," one of them asked, puzzled.
"Whatever it is, since it's blocking our path, we'll just have to deal with it first." The elven hunter's eyes sharpened. "Get ready!"
With a low shout, several arrows shot out like a meteor shower, accurately hitting several of the most ferocious targets ahead...
Meanwhile, the bolder child ran up to the red-clad witch again and asked, "Sister, sister, were those lightning bolts just now the enemy's magic attack? They looked so powerful... But I'm not afraid, because you're here!"
Hearing these innocent and carefree words, even in the tense atmosphere, everyone couldn't help but smile knowingly. But they quickly regained their vigilance, because everyone knew that an even tougher contest awaited them.
"The children have all been moved to the village's safe zone, and we can now fully focus on the fight," the young mother reported softly as she approached.
Just then, a strange gust of wind blew by, causing every cell in the air to shiver.
Zhao De keenly sensed an unusual change in the atmosphere, and he abruptly turned to look towards the center of the village. "Something's wrong over there!" Almost simultaneously, the peaceful scene was shattered—several ferocious and terrifying cave crawlers suddenly emerged from the seemingly calm ground and launched a fierce attack on the unsuspecting villagers!
"Quickly, everyone retreat to the camp immediately and activate the second line of defense!" Zhao De shouted, then grabbed his weapon and rushed to the most dangerous place to meet the enemy.
This was followed by a continuous clashing of weapons and the chanting of incantations. Despite facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, everyone stood firm and did their utmost to resist the invasion.
At this critical moment, a young man with a lithe figure and exceptionally handsome features appeared in everyone's sight. "Don't worry, I will assist you all in this battle," he said in a gentle yet confident voice. At the same time, he clasped his hands together and chanted a complex and profound incantation, and a gentle yet exceptionally powerful energy fluctuation spread through the air.
Meanwhile, in a secluded spot on the outskirts of the village, the group of people dressed in black robes finally found their opportunity and quietly approached while everyone was busy fighting on the front lines...
"Found it!" one of them exclaimed excitedly in a low voice.
But they didn't realize that they had already become someone else's target...
Just as the two sides were locked in a standoff, a clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out from not far away—Liu Ruyan was standing there holding a small, exquisite copper bell. "Hey, what are you sneaky fellows doing?" she asked, looking at the group of strangers in front of her with a mixture of curiosity and provocation.
Upon hearing this, the leader of the men in black's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly ordered, "Grab her!"
Several men in black robes reacted instantly and quickly approached Liu Ruyan. But the girl did not panic. Instead, she calmly shook the copper bell in her hand, and a clear sound rang out, as if countless tiny points of light were dancing in the air.
