Chapter 1197 Coincidentally

She smiled, her eyes revealing unwavering trust. "Everyone has a bright side, and as long as we are willing to ignite it, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome. Since they are here to help, we should accept them."

Seeing this, the villagers' attitudes gradually changed. Especially when they saw several brave volunteers taking action, actively going to the newcomers and fighting alongside them, this positive sentiment quickly spread.

As night fell completely, the two sides finally engaged in another fierce battle. But this time, unlike before, in addition to the original warriors, there were many new faces. Especially when facing those seemingly invincible enemies, the original tactics seemed somewhat ineffective, but now the situation had subtly changed.

"Hey, you newbies, follow me and attack!" Xiao Feng shouted, waving a special weapon he had just found. His method was quite unique; he cleverly avoided the enemy's line of sight by taking advantage of the environment and understanding the terrain, successfully approaching his target.

Meanwhile, the cooperation between the apprentice and the old hunter became increasingly seamless. Relying on their mutual trust and teamwork, coupled with the support of their new allies, they managed to repel several waves of attacks in a short period. "Looks like you've got some skills, kid. Don't call me 'teacher' anymore, just call me by my name," the old hunter said with a hearty laugh, his tone full of admiration.

However, the battle did not cease due to the brief victory; instead, it became even more brutal and merciless. Just when everyone thought victory was in sight, a heavily armored warrior suddenly emerged from the darkness, charging menacingly towards the main position. "Hmph, you lowly people think you can defeat me with such meager skills? What wishful thinking!" he sneered.

Faced with such a powerful and confident opponent, everyone felt a suffocating pressure. At this moment, Zhao De, already battered and exhausted, stepped forward. She gently closed her eyes and began to chant an ancient healing song…

"Xiaomeng, are you alright?" Xiaofeng asked anxiously. "Don't worry, I'll be fine," the girl replied with a smile, but her eyes clearly revealed a hint of reluctance and helplessness. Then, a soft white light emanated from her body, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield, even causing the enemy general to involuntarily stop in his tracks.

"What...what's going on?" one of the onlookers muttered to himself, seemingly captivated by the scene before him. The other soldiers exchanged glances, all seemingly pondering the same question: "Could a miracle really be happening?"

Just as everyone was lost in thought, a dazzling bolt of lightning once again ripped through the night sky, illuminating everyone's faces.

Under this sudden light, the entire battlefield seemed to fall silent. Even both sides temporarily ceased their movements, and everyone's gaze was drawn to the pillar of light that had suddenly appeared in the sky. It was like a giant lightsaber, cleaving through the darkness and allowing hope to illuminate this chaotic night once more.

"Could this be... a miracle?" A young soldier's voice trembled as he voiced the thoughts of most of the soldiers.

At the same time, the heavily armored enemy stopped, his gaze complex as he surveyed everything enveloped in the white light. "What kind of power is this? It even shakes my resolve..." he muttered to himself, his tone still wary, but tinged with an unprecedented uncertainty.

In that instant, Zhao De finished chanting the last few lines of the incantation and slowly opened her eyes. As she opened them, her gentle yet resolute gaze instantly resonated with the light in the sky. The wounds that had covered the injured began to heal at a visible speed, and even many who had been exhausted from the battle were filled with renewed strength. "Thank you for your trust. Now, please continue onward!" Zhao De's gentle yet powerful voice resonated throughout the area, invigorating everyone present.

Hearing this, everyone present was greatly encouraged, especially the newcomers who had only recently joined the battle. "We cannot betray her trust!" a black-robed mage shouted, waving his staff. Immediately, a series of attack spells rained down on the enemy ranks. Meanwhile, someone mimicked Xiao Feng's earlier actions, attempting to use the terrain to their advantage and create a pincer movement. "Follow me! We can flank them from behind and launch a surprise attack!"

Faced with this sudden turn of events, even a powerful enemy general was momentarily at a loss. However, he quickly regained his composure and shouted, "Don't panic! Concentrate your firepower and eliminate the woman who cast the healing spell!" However, at this moment, achieving this had become extremely difficult—because everyone present had been mobilized, not only cooperating more closely but also forming an unprecedented level of unity.

As wave after wave of offensives unfolded, the situation on the battlefield increasingly favored the allied forces. "I didn't expect these people to be able to unleash such fighting power... They're really troublesome," the general thought to himself, though he maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, his heart gradually rippled with unease.

Just as the battle reached its climax, a clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out from the sky: "Warriors, please look up at the brightest star in the night sky." As soon as the voice finished, everyone looked in the direction indicated—and sure enough, the most dazzling star in the sky was shining with an unusual light, as if foreshadowing some extraordinary event about to occur.

The crowd erupted in a frenzy. "What's going on?" "Could there be reinforcements?" All sorts of questions arose, and the air was filled with a tense yet exciting atmosphere.

Zhao De stepped forward again, this time with a more determined look in her eyes: "I believe that star is our guiding star. As long as we work together and fight side by side to the end, I believe that light will ultimately triumph over darkness!" Her words soothed everyone's anxieties like a spring breeze, connecting them all and uniting them in the struggle for the same goal.

"Whatever awaits us ahead, believe that miracles are always possible!" As Zhao De finished speaking, an even stronger sense of confidence spread. Just then, the faint sounds of orderly footsteps and the metallic clang of armor clashing could be heard from afar…

Chapter 1199 Asking about companions

"Hey buddy, did you hear that? It sounds like someone's coming this way," a new friend of Xiao Feng's whispered.

"Hmm... I don't know if it will be friends or new enemies this time, but let's prepare ourselves." Xiao Feng took a deep breath and replied, gripping his weapon tightly while encouraging the person next to him: "No matter what, we must hold on until the very last moment."

The footsteps grew clearer; it was an army clad in silver armor, their banners fluttering in the breeze, embroidered with a golden phoenix. Zhao De's eyes lit up, then a relaxed smile spread across his face. "They're our men! Reinforcements from the Cloud Sky Kingdom!"

A cheer erupted from the crowd, and the air seemed to be filled with warmth and hope.

"Soldiers from Yunxiao Kingdom? How did they arrive so timely!" the young soldier, whose voice had been trembling, asked in surprise. His comrade beside him blushed with excitement: "It must be God's blessing on us! It seems this battle is finally about to end."

However, the enemy general became increasingly anxious upon seeing this situation. "How could this be... Why is this happening at this time! Reinforce the offensive! We must break through no matter what!"

No matter how much they shouted, they could not reverse the defeat. More and more Allied soldiers threw themselves into fierce fighting and, led by the new recruits, began to gradually erode the enemy's defenses.

Suddenly, a boy who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old descended from the sky and landed in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by a pale blue halo.

"Young man, what's going on here?" he asked Zhao De in a clear, melodious but slightly mischievous tone.

Everyone was astonished and turned their attention to the newcomer.

The unfamiliar visitor had long, dark hair as black as the night, and expressive, almost eloquent eyes. Even in the face of such a tense and serious situation, he maintained a relaxed and composed demeanor. "You are…"

Before Zhao De could finish explaining his question, the other party introduced himself, "You can call me Zhao De, I'm a Planeswalker~ I just happened to be passing by this battlefield and got caught up in it." As he spoke, he looked around.

A veteran in heavy armor, who was fighting the enemy nearby, stopped what he was doing, turned around and exclaimed, "This is amazing! Such skill at such a young age! And he's even a rare traveling mage? We're definitely going to win this time."

Meanwhile, the particularly bright star in the sky continued to shine quietly. Zhao De followed everyone's gaze and looked up. "Oh, that's just a small positioning spell I set up." He then made a cute face at everyone.

Upon hearing this explanation, the entire venue erupted in cheers once again, filled with exclamations of amazement and praise.

This was especially true for girls like Zhao De, who were skilled in healing magic. They were incredibly envious. "You're amazing! You can actually cast spells to this extent!" she exclaimed in admiration.

With reinforcements arriving and the mysterious young man Zhao De appearing, the previously stalemate was completely reversed, turning into a one-sided, overwhelming offensive. Just when victory seemed within reach, suddenly…

"Hey! How's the situation over there? Have you spotted any suspicious individuals?" Xiao Feng, who was responsible for patrolling the surrounding area to ensure that no potential threat to safety was overlooked, anxiously asked his companion.

Just as the two were talking, a deafening explosion came from not far away, and the ground trembled slightly.

"That's...oh no! An ambush!" The experienced comrade reacted immediately, loudly alerting everyone to be on high alert. "Watch out for an enemy sneak attack! Quickly prepare your defenses!"

Instantly, everyone's attention focused in the same direction again, where a figure was revealed after the thick smoke dissipated.

The man was shrouded in darkness, exuding a powerful yet ominous aura. "Hehehe... I thought things were over, but I didn't expect there to be so much more to come." His deep, hoarse voice sent chills down one's spine.

Zhao De's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. "No matter who stands in our way, we will not back down!" His resolute voice instilled confidence in everyone. "As long as we are united, no difficulty can defeat us!"

Zhao De smiled slightly, seemingly not taking the newly appeared enemy seriously at all. "Haha, looks like someone doesn't want to see us win." He waved his hand lightly, and the pale blue aura around him seemed to brighten even more.

The surrounding soldiers raised their weapons, ready for battle. A young soldier asked nervously, "Who is this guy? He has such a powerful aura..."

Another veteran said in a deep voice, "Don't be afraid. With the support of the Cloud Kingdom's army and the presence of this great mage, we will definitely be safe!"

Just as everyone held their breath, waiting for the battle to begin, a golden light suddenly shot into the sky, transforming into a lifelike phoenix that hovered in the air. "That's... Her Highness the Princess of Yunxiao Kingdom?!" Zhao De exclaimed excitedly, his eyes gleaming with unprecedented light.

The princess slowly descended into the center of the battlefield, holding a scepter that emitted a soft glow. "My brave and fearless warriors, please allow me to share some of your burdens," she said, her voice clear and firm, offering great encouragement and comfort at this crucial moment.

Meanwhile, the enemy general, seeing the situation becoming increasingly unfavorable, was almost losing control. "Hmph, so what if you outnumber me? Today I'll show you the true meaning of power!" Before he finished speaking, he spread his arms and made a strange gesture, preparing to cast a spell.

"Be careful—" Zhao De quickly warned the people around him and swiftly activated his healing spells to restore everyone's strength.

Zhao De frowned, clearly realizing the urgency of the situation. "It seems we can't let this go on, or it might cause trouble for everyone." With that, he quickly took a few steps forward, blocking Zhao De and the others.

Immediately afterward, a deafening roar erupted, and an immense wave of energy surged towards them. However, just as it was about to hit, Zhao De effortlessly deflected it, instantly annihilating the dark power as well. "Phew... thankfully I reacted in time," the young man joked, wiping his forehead, not having broken out in much cold sweat.

At this moment, everyone who witnessed this scene couldn't help but gasp in amazement and admiration. "My God! Is this the legendary Planeswalker? It's simply unbelievable!"

"That's right, we don't need to be afraid of any enemy when we fight with people like this!"

Some particularly bold comrades even began to ask Zhao De, "Master, how exactly did you do that? Could you teach us a few of your secret techniques?"

Chapter 1201 Crisis

Chapter 1201 Crisis.

Faced with such enthusiastic and admiring gazes, Zhao De replied with a somewhat helpless yet polite tone, "Ahem... well, it actually takes many years of practice to master the essence of it~ But right now, the most important thing for us to do is to focus on solving the immediate crisis."

Just as everyone was preparing to launch another attack, a strange sound suddenly came from the sky again. Looking up, they could see several dark figures rapidly approaching the area.

"What are those things?" a soldier asked, echoing the question on the minds of many.

Before Zhao De and the others could explain, one of the figures had already swiftly landed on the ground. "Hi~ I'm Lilith, an envoy sent from the distant forest elves." She introduced herself in a sweet voice, and took out several mysterious items from her backpack, handing them to the key personnel in front of her.

After receiving one of the small, crystal-clear bottles that emitted a faint fragrance, Xiao Feng couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, it's actually a high-grade healing potion! It's a timely help, like sending charcoal in snowy weather!" He then couldn't wait to try it out.

At this moment, the new enemy, who had been hiding in the shadows without making a move, suddenly roared: "Enough! Stop talking nonsense! Take this—" As he finished speaking, his figure suddenly swelled to several times its original size!

Everyone felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, and even the air seemed to be distorted and deformed.

Zhao De frowned, clearly indicating that the enemy he was facing this time was not so easily dealt with. He gently waved his staff, and a light blue light shield immediately formed around him, enveloping him and his companions behind him.

"Everyone be careful, this guy seems a bit tricky," Zhao De warned in a low voice. There was no hint of tension in his voice, but the calm power beneath it was reassuring.

Suddenly, a powerful surge of magical energy emanated from the enemy, sweeping in like a black whirlwind. "You little ants..." the enemy's voice grew even deeper and more terrifying, "daring to challenge my authority, prepare to die!"

Seeing this, Zhao De hurriedly shouted to the people around him, "Everyone back off! Stay as far away from him as possible!" After saying that, he quickly released several green light shields around everyone, trying to provide a final safety guarantee for everyone.

"Hmph, you think this can stop me?" The other party sneered, then raised his hands above his head to gather power—an unprecedentedly huge black sphere gradually condensed in his hands...

At this critical moment, the elven messenger Lilith quickly ran to the center of the battlefield. "Wait a minute, please let me finish speaking before you act!" she said to the new enemy in an almost pleading tone, "If you are willing to listen to our proposal, there may still be room for negotiation."

But the latter clearly had no intention of stopping. "You utterly foolish brats... it's too late to say anything now!" With that, he immediately unleashed a dark energy attack.

At this critical moment, Zhao De leaped up and charged straight at the incoming black sphere. "Master Planeswalker, danger—" many comrades cried out involuntarily. However, an astonishing scene unfolded: the seemingly threatening attack vanished completely without a trace after being lightly touched by the blue-white aura!

A brief silence fell over the entire hall. Then, gasps of astonishment erupted.
