“But he only has one sword in his hand…” Xiaoming muttered.
At this moment, an elderly woman standing nearby interjected, "Child, sometimes what truly matters is not the weapon in your hand, but the strength of your heart and the power of your beliefs."
Just as everyone was talking, a series of hurried footsteps came from not far away. It turned out that the villager in charge of reconnaissance had run back to report on the changes in the enemy situation. "It's bad! The monster has changed its route ahead of schedule and is approaching this way at high speed! It is expected to reach the outskirts of the village in less than fifteen minutes."
This news made the atmosphere at the scene extremely tense. Many women held their children tightly, their eyes filled with fear and helplessness; while young and middle-aged men gripped their weapons, ready to fight.
Just then, a young girl bravely stepped forward. "Fellow villagers, now that we've decided to fight, we can't be afraid anymore! Even if the enemy is stronger than we can imagine, as long as we are united, there is no obstacle we can't overcome!" Her voice was slightly immature but very firm.
These words resonated with many villagers. "Yes, rather than sitting and waiting to die, we might as well take a gamble!"
"Well said, young lady!" An elderly man patted her on the shoulder approvingly. "Such courage at such a young age, truly a woman who is just as capable as any man!"
Zhao Dexin nodded with satisfaction and gathered everyone together again to redeploy strategies. He quickly analyzed the current situation and, taking advantage of the terrain, proposed several feasible plans for discussion. "First, we need to attract their attention and lure them into the pre-set trap area..." he explained, drawing a simple diagram on the ground with a twig.
After hearing the plan, everyone was both excited and surprised. "Your strategy is truly ingenious! I never knew that you could manipulate your opponents so skillfully by utilizing the natural environment..." the masked man exclaimed in admiration.
As the order was given, each group carried out its duties in an orderly manner: some moved stones to create obstacles, some dug deep pits to lay animal traps, and others were responsible for setting up sentry posts in concealed locations to ensure unimpeded communication...
Just as everyone was immersed in a state of preparation for battle, suddenly a series of screams came from the outside. "My God... what the hell is that?!" "My God—look there—" These screams, mixed with extreme panic, spread to every corner of the entire village.
"It seems the enemy has arrived!" Zhao De reacted quickly. "Everyone, proceed according to the original plan! Do not lose your composure!"
As the monster gradually approached the village entrance, its terrifyingly large body became increasingly visible: its entire body was covered in incredibly hard armor, and four thick, powerful limbs supported its tens of meters tall body; its head was adorned with a pair of eyes that emitted an eerie green light, seemingly seeing through everything... All of this was far beyond the comprehension of ordinary humans.
However, the villagers did not show much fear at this moment; instead, they threw themselves into the battle with high morale. "Brothers, fight to protect our homeland!" a young general shouted, brandishing his spear.
A figure shot through the dense forest like an arrow, heading towards its target—it was the mysterious man named Zhao De.

The fact that it showed no fear in the face of such a colossal creature, and even launched an attack, left all onlookers in awe and admiration.
Just as the two sides were about to clash, the masked man quietly approached the key leaders and whispered, "Gentlemen, if we successfully repel this attack, what are your next plans? After all, the crisis is far from over."
Zhao De glanced at the faces of his companions, his resolute gaze conveying strength and hope to each participant. "Today's battle is just the beginning," he replied. "Next, we will establish a more comprehensive protection mechanism and gradually uncover the true face of the dark forces behind it all."
As the last sentence fell, their gazes simultaneously turned to the fierce battlefield that was about to unfold...
"No matter what challenges await us, nothing is impossible as long as we're here!" Young hunter Zhang declared, clenching his fist, met with thunderous applause. At that moment, the monster came into view, its roar shaking the heavens and earth…
"Are you ready?" Zhao De said in a deep voice, a flash of cold light in his eyes. "Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back. It's time to deliver a crushing blow!"
As soon as Zhao De finished speaking, the entire village seemed to be set ablaze, the air thick with an unprecedented tension and anticipation. Every villager's face gleamed with a mixture of fear and excitement.
Xiao Ming gripped his mother's fingers tightly, a strange light flashing in his eyes: "Mommy, is that uncle really that amazing? I...I want to be as brave as him."
The woman smiled and patted Xiaoming on the shoulder. "You can do it. Just be as strong and brave as this hero. Look, everyone is working hard for our family."
Meanwhile, several young, strong men were busy moving stones to set up obstacles. One of them, wiping his sweat and panting, asked another, "Hey, wouldn't it be great if we could really stop this monster? Then the village wouldn't have to suffer from these wild beasts anymore."
The young man next to him nodded in agreement: "That's right! And I've heard that this new expert has many powerful moves. Maybe he can really help us live a peaceful life."
Not far away, Liu Ruyan tugged at Zhao De's sleeve, looking at him curiously and saying, "Brother, have you ever encountered something like this before?"
“Yes,” Zhao Dewen leaned down gently, “but there are always brave people fighting side by side. Remember, courage and hope are more important than anything else.”
Just as everyone was making final preparations, the terrifying monster finally appeared before them—its enormous size and piercing roar instilled fear in everyone. With each step it took, the ground trembled slightly, and the air seemed to be filled with an invisible pressure.
Seeing this, the village children were so frightened that they covered their heads and hid; the adult villagers appeared calm on the surface, but their palms were sweaty; and the soldiers gritted their teeth, held their weapons, and waited for the signal to attack.
"Now!" Zhao De roared, leaping from the crowd, his longsword slicing through the night as he charged towards the monster. Almost simultaneously, the other combat teams launched their attack—some firing arrows, others charging with spears…

The monster seemed to sense the threat and let out a deafening roar before lunging at Xiao Zhang, who was closest to it. "Ah!" The latter was so frightened that he took several steps back and almost fell, but fortunately, his comrade pulled him back in time to steady himself.
At this critical moment, Zhao De nimbly dodged the attack by weaving through the trees like a ghost, and then, finding the right opportunity, leaped high into the air!
"Watch me!" he shouted, then poured all his power into his longsword, instantly creating a powerful sword aura that slashed straight at the monster's head.
Meanwhile, the other team members also acted according to the established strategy—they first pretended to attack head-on to attract attention, and then quickly turned to the sides to launch a flanking maneuver, trying to lure them into the trap that had already been set up.
Surprisingly, despite its enormous size, the monster was remarkably agile, nearly escaping the encirclement several times. Just when the situation seemed dire, a series of booming sounds suddenly rang out—the massive rocks rolling down from the depths of the valley had finally come into play!
"Did it work?" The villagers, hiding in safe spots, anxiously peered out, only to see the once arrogant and rampaging monster now trapped in a narrow crevice, unable to move...
Just when everyone thought the crisis was over, a strange laugh suddenly rang out: "Hmph, you ignorant bunch really only know how to use such despicable means to deal with the great messenger of Cthulhu..."
Before he could finish speaking, a black shadow suddenly flew in from the horizon, appearing before them in the blink of an eye. The masked man frowned and whispered, "Not good! This guy actually has accomplices behind him!"
Faced with this sudden turn of events, even the usually calm and confident Zhao De couldn't help but feel a little panicked. "It seems that things won't end so easily today... But no matter what, we must protect these innocent civilians!"
"Hey, new friends over there, listen up!" the shadowy figure shouted mockingly. "Either give up the fight and join us in building a great cause, or simply disappear from this land—you have ten minutes to think it over!"
Upon hearing this, some onlookers began to whisper among themselves, "What... what do we do? If it's truly an invincible force, won't we lose our lives here?"
Another elderly man nearby immediately scolded, "Shut up! How can you say such discouraging things? We're all prepared to fight to the death! Besides, with such capable friends helping us, how could we possibly fail?"
"The old man is right," a young man said, puffing out his chest. "We must not let the bad guys get away with this!"
At this moment, Xiaoming broke free from his mother's arm and ran to Zhao De's side, tugging at his sleeve: "Big brother, are you scared? I... can I help you fight the bad guys?"
Zhao De looked down at the child's determined eyes and smiled, then squatted down and patted his head, replying, "I'm not afraid. But you must promise me one thing—no matter what happens, you must protect yourself and always keep the flame of justice in your heart burning brightly! Understand?"
"I understand!" Xiao Ming nodded emphatically, his eyes sparkling as if he could see the direction of the future.
"Alright, now—everyone, listen to my command! We will proceed according to Plan B!" Zhao De stood up and shouted to the surroundings. His words invigorated everyone, and the entire battlefield regained its vitality and hope.
Chapter 1227 What a stroke of luck!
Chapter 1227 What a stroke of luck!
At the same time, a disdainful smile appeared on the man in black's face: "Hmph, still trying to struggle in your death throes? Let's see how you escape this time!"
Just when the men in black thought everything was under control, Zhao De's resolute command instilled an unprecedented strength in the villagers. As if infected by his spirit, the people straightened their backs, their eyes revealing unwavering determination.
The village chief stepped forward. His voice, though not loud, carried clearly to the hearts of everyone present: "Fellow villagers, we cannot back down! This land is our home; our relatives, friends, and future are here. We must unite and drive out these evil invaders!"
Hearing this, many villagers' eyes welled up with tears, but even more so, a burning passion rose in their hearts. "That's right!" "We will definitely protect our homes!" Various inspiring shouts rose and fell, forming a huge wave of sound that echoed in the night sky.
On the other side, Zhao De had already begun organizing his men to adjust their strategy. "Xiao Li, you and a few others will be responsible for the left flank; Uncle Wang, please take a few young men to the right to provide support. As for the center," he looked at the brave villagers, "I and a few soldiers will guard it together."
A young scholar, fresh from the city, observed the busy yet orderly scene and exclaimed in admiration, "This is truly amazing... I originally thought it was just a story of ordinary villagers and an adventurer fighting monsters, but I never expected to see such a united effort to resist foreign enemies. This brother named Zhao De is not only highly skilled in martial arts but also meticulous in his thinking; he truly deserves to be called a legendary hero!"
An elderly woman selling fruit nearby said with a smile, "Our village has really struck gold this time! I hope these days can continue... But for now, we still have to get through this ordeal! Come on, kids!"
Suddenly, a deafening voice rang out from the sky: "I'll be launching my attack in five minutes! Are you ready? Hahaha!"
Zhao De's eyes sharpened instantly, but he remained calm, nodding to those around him to assume defensive stances while encouraging them: "Don't worry, everyone. As long as we stay calm and follow the plan strictly, even if the enemy is this powerful, we may still have a chance of winning. Remember to communicate and cooperate with each other, and use the collective strength to gain every advantage."
Seconds ticked by, the entire battlefield silent, everyone holding their breath, awaiting the impending moment. Suddenly, a whooshing sound shattered the tranquility—a group of black figures launched a simultaneous attack from all directions!
In an instant, swords flashed and arrows pierced the night sky, as various magical elements converged and collided, emitting dazzling light. Among them, the most eye-catching was the silver sword light that Zhao De was constantly wielding, shining brightly in the dark night.
Zhao De pointed into the distance and shouted: "Look, look! Big brother is playing so cool!"
His mother, standing behind him, quickly pulled him into her arms and comforted him: "Shut up, be good, and don't move around, okay? I'll show you what a true hero looks like later."
Meanwhile, a seemingly ordinary peasant woman also picked up a hoe and joined the fray. She dodged and parried left and right with surprising skill and agility.

"Wow, I never knew that such a gentle older sister could be so fierce!" another neighbor exclaimed. "I've really seen something new today... But honestly, I'd love to join them and contribute to the village!"
Just then, the situation on the field changed again. A cloaked figure silently appeared at the heart of the fiercest battle and slowly moved towards Zhao De...
Wait, where is he going? Could it be...? Someone among the spectators noticed something amiss and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
As the two drew closer, the air seemed to crackle with tension and unease.
"Now!" the masked mystery man whispered, suddenly accelerating and sprinting towards his target. Everyone's hearts were in their throats, fearing what would happen next…
Hey bro, the voice that came through was surprisingly friendly. I know you're the core member of this group. My name is Lin Xuan, a scholar specializing in ancient texts. I heard about the appearance of a Cthulhu messenger here and came specifically to see if I could help. I just happened to witness this scene and decided to join in and test the waters.
Zhao De was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and responded in a friendly manner, "You're very welcome! The situation is indeed complicated right now, and any support is invaluable."
Lin Xuan smiled and nodded, then turned to his companions and announced loudly: "Listen up, everyone! I've brought a secret weapon that can effectively deal with the servants of the evil god—an exorcism potion recipe passed down from ancient times! With enough medicinal ingredients, it can exert a powerful purifying effect, allowing us to no longer fear the corruption of dark power!"
These words immediately caused a sensation, with exclamations and praises erupting one after another. Lin Xuan then presented a more detailed and specific strategic plan, guiding everyone to gradually begin their actions...
Just as the dawn of victory was breaking, a sharp, piercing voice suddenly tore through the sky and echoed through the heavens: Ha! You think these little tricks can change anything? Don't be so naive, humans! The real disaster has only just begun...
As the words fell, an even larger shadow gradually spread from the depths of the night...
"Don't panic, everyone," Zhao De said in a deep voice, his tone filled with unwavering confidence. "As long as we stand united, we can overcome any difficulty!"
“But that voice…it sounds like…” Xiaoming’s voice trembled, but he still clenched his fists and looked at Zhao De.
Zhao De replied firmly, "No matter what dangers lie ahead, we will definitely find a way to deal with them. Xiaoming, you must also believe in yourself and in each and every one of us."
He looked up at the sky, where a cloud of black mist seemed to be gathering. "Prepare for an even greater challenge," he added softly, and the air around him grew even more tense.
Zhao De's voice sounded exceptionally firm in the silent night sky; each word was like a nail, firmly driven into the hearts of every villager. An uncle not far away gripped his wooden stick tightly, his eyes following Zhao De's figure intently, as if drawing courage and strength from him.
