Meanwhile, inside the north gate of the village, Zhao De and his men were urgently setting up a defensive line. The girl stood aside, silently praying, hoping they could get through this time.

"Hey buddy, are you scared?" A-Jie patted his comrade Xiao-Li on the shoulder and asked, trying to ease the pressure on everyone.

Xiao Li took a deep breath and shook his head: "To be honest, I'm a little nervous. But thinking about the trust in the eyes of those villagers... we have to win! And I feel that as long as I follow Brother Zhao, there's nothing to be afraid of."

“Well said,” Zhao De said with a rare smile after hearing the conversation. “Is everyone mentally prepared? This is not only a test for ourselves, but also the best way to respond to everyone who supports us.”

Suddenly, a piercing scream tore through the night sky, and the enemy launched their first attack. Arrows rained down, tracing graceful arcs through the air as they hurtled towards them. Then came the sounds of close combat—swords clashing, producing crisp, resonant sounds, mingled with anger and determination.

Just as the battle was raging, a young farmer ran to the edge of the column to report: "The enemy is approaching from the east! It looks like they're trying to surround us!"

Upon hearing this news, the girl immediately looked at Zhao De and asked, "What should we do? We can't spare any more people!"

“Don’t worry.” Zhao De made a quick decision. “I will take a small team to the east to defend against the attack. The rest of you will hold this position and not waver. Under no circumstances can we let the enemy break through and destroy the safe zone we have worked so hard to build! Remember, in the most difficult times, don’t forget to look up at that beam of light in the sky—that is where hope lies.”

After speaking, he selected his strongest force and quickly set off. Seeing their leader's resolute stance, the morale of the remaining soldiers was greatly boosted. Everyone knew this battle might be extremely difficult, but as long as there was light, they would not give up on any chance of survival.

Just as the battle reached its climax, an unassuming little girl suddenly appeared near the front lines, observing the situation. She whispered to her companion, "That young man with the halo, isn't he the legendary hero? He's so brave!"

The child nodded upon hearing this: "Yes! And that older sister is so amazing too! When I grow up, I want to be a warrior like them, protecting this village!"

Meanwhile, Zhao De, who was directing the overall situation in the center of the battlefield, silently prayed, "Please, whatever you do, give us a miracle... at least let this light last long enough..."

However, just as the situation seemed to be slowly developing in a positive direction, an unusually strong and unfamiliar aura suddenly descended upon the battlefield...

"What on earth is going on?!" Zhao De exclaimed, looking up into the distance, sensing something amiss. At that moment, some unknown entity seemed to be rapidly approaching their location from afar… Did this mean that an even more thrilling story was about to unfold?

The little girl gazed in the direction from which the unknown, powerful aura had appeared and asked her companion curiously, "Look, there's a flash of light over there. Is a new hero coming to help us?"

"I don't know, maybe it's true," the little boy replied, blinking his big eyes. "Anyway, I feel much safer now because it seems like something magical always happens when we need help."

Just as Zhao De was silently praying for a miracle, the mysterious aura rapidly approached. The villagers watched nervously as the light gradually spread across the sky, their discussions filling the air.

"Look! Something looks like it's coming!" a voice exclaimed. Everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to look into the distance, where a dazzling light streaked across the sky like a shooting star, heading straight for the battlefield.

"What is it? Is it really God trying to help us?" an old man said tremblingly, his voice filled with hope and disbelief.

As everyone held their breath in awe, the ball of light suddenly stopped in mid-air and began to blur. A few seconds later, a familiar figure emerged from the light—it was Li Changfeng, the legendary figure from the village!

"Brother Changfeng?" Zhao De exclaimed in surprise. The other party nodded in response, then landed steadily. "I really didn't expect to see you again," Li Changfeng smiled slightly, "but I can't let you deal with this disaster alone."

"Elder...Elder?" a little boy asked, his eyes wide, clearly incredulous at the prospect of seeing this legendary figure who only existed in stories. "Are you the hero who came to save us?"

Li Changfeng looked down at the brave child. "Everyone can be their own hero," he said calmly and firmly. "But the most important thing now is to stop these enemies."

At this moment, everyone present seemed to have their fighting spirit ignited. Even the previously slightly tired warriors regained their composure and joined the defensive ranks. The air was filled with the excitement and anticipation of the upcoming battle.

On the other side of the battlefield, the demon army, faced with sudden reinforcements, also felt somewhat shaken. A general with a ferocious appearance gritted his teeth and ordered, "Break through this line at all costs!" With that, he drew his sword and charged forward...

Seeing the critical moment approaching, Li Changfeng stepped forward to meet the challenge. He gently raised his sword, a faint glow swirling around him. As the sword's tip pointed skyward and instantly transformed into a thunderous strike, everyone present was filled with awe.

"Wow...that's so cool!" the little girl exclaimed, her eyes wide.

The little boy beside him said even more excitedly, "This is a true display of power! I wish I could be like that someday."

Meanwhile, Zhao De, who was overseeing the overall situation, was also watching this scene intently, his face filled with envy. "Is this what they call the difference in strength?"

However, at that very moment, the enemy, who were already at a disadvantage, seemed to receive support from an even stronger energy source, instantly reversing their momentum. The previously precarious situation became increasingly unpredictable...

Just as the situation reached a stalemate, a low, mournful bugle call suddenly sounded in the distance. Everyone's heart tightened: Had another unexpected turn of events occurred?

Chapter 1092 The Unyielding Flame

Immediately afterward, the earth began to tremble slightly, and countless eyes turned in the direction of the sound—only to see an army of various strange creatures slowly emerging from the mountains, led by none other than the infamous Dark Lord Mocaslon, known to all on the continent!

"Oh no! Is everyone ready?!" Li Changfeng reminded everyone with a grave expression, "The real test is about to begin..."

At this moment, a complex mix of emotions surged within the villagers—fear and anticipation mingled, doubt and resolve intertwined. What would happen next? How would they unite to face this unprecedented challenge that was about to unfold?

“We’ll win, right? With courage and faith, we can overcome any obstacle, can’t we?” the little boy said firmly, clenching his fist. His companion, the little girl, looked up at the faintly lit night sky and silently made a wish…

"Brother Changfeng, is that Dark Lord Mocaslon really the legendary one?" Zhao De couldn't help but ask, his voice trembling with worry.

Li Changfeng nodded, his expression unusually serious. "Yes, Mocaslon was once one of the strongest beings on this continent. His final battle with the Guardian of Light is still praised by many, and I am one of the few survivors who witnessed it."

At this moment, the soldiers nearby began to whisper among themselves:

"I heard that guy possesses world-destroying power..."

"If that's the case, how could we possibly have a chance of winning?"

But then another voice rang out: "Don't forget that incredible scene just now! As long as Lord Li is here leading us, there's nothing to be afraid of!" This young man was clearly full of hope for the future. Hearing this, the others gradually regained their fighting spirit and echoed, "That's right, if we unite, there's no obstacle we can't overcome!"

A thick and enthusiastic atmosphere of support filled the air. The villagers seemed to be infected by this unwavering belief; although fear still lingered in their hearts, an indomitable flame was rekindled in everyone's eyes. The children were especially brave; encouraged by two elders, they formed a small circle, cheering each other on: "Let's cheer for the adults too! Maybe one day we can become super awesome ourselves!"

Just as everyone was getting ready to go, an even more intense horn call sounded from afar—a sign that a real war was about to break out!

"They're here! Everyone, get your weapons ready, don't underestimate them!" Zhao De shouted, then turned to his comrades and encouraged them, "No matter the outcome tonight, remember to be proud of our courage!"

Suddenly, a chilling voice shattered the silence: "Heh heh heh, what a bunch of foolish and arrogant ants..." A tall, slender figure slowly stepped out from the front of the line—it was none other than the legendary Dark King himself—Mocaslon. His eyes seemed to pierce through all matter, radiating an irresistible pressure. "I've long wanted to teach you self-important warmongers a lesson... Now the time has finally come."

"Hmph, Mocaslon, you won't succeed so easily!" Li Changfeng said in a deep voice. As his words fell, the fluorescence on the sword in his hand grew even more dazzling, radiating a divine brilliance that was difficult to look at directly. "No matter what difficulties and challenges await us ahead, we will forge ahead bravely."

Chapter 1093 Full of Expectations

The villagers gripped their weapons tightly to show their determination, and the whole village fell into a tense and solemn state.

"Hahaha... Come on! Let this night become an eternal memory!" Mocaslon's arrogant laughter echoed across the entire battlefield.

Just as the two powerful forces were about to collide, the little girl grabbed the little boy's arm and whispered, "Brother, you said we would win, right?" Her tone was tinged with trepidation yet full of anticipation.

“Of course!” the little boy answered resolutely. “Just like that older sister said before—as long as we have enough faith, no enemy, no matter how strong, is insurmountable!” Then he looked at the approaching giant shadow and firmly repeated, “As long as we are united… there is nothing we cannot defeat!”

The words had barely left his lips when the confrontation between the two sides officially began... And at this moment, whether on one side or among ordinary civilians, each had their own unique story waiting to be written...

The roar of battle echoed through the sky, and the occasional flashes of lightning in the night sky illuminated the resolute faces of everyone.

Just as the battle was about to break out, a villager uncle said with trembling lips, "Can we win this battle?" The old lady next to him patted his hand firmly and said, "Don't worry, Lord Changfeng is the real strongman. Although Mocaslon is powerful, he doesn't understand our determination."

As Mocaslon drew closer, a layer of frost seemed to freeze in the air. Zhao De gritted his teeth and shouted, "Everyone, prepare to meet the enemy!"

Just then, the village blacksmith, Aqiang, suddenly stepped forward, his eyes burning with an indomitable flame. "Lord Changfeng! Please allow me to fight alongside you!" With that, he raised aloft a giant hammer he had forged, the hammer covered with various ancient incantations, its light dazzling in the darkness.

Li Changfeng turned and glanced at him, then nodded: "In that case, let's face it together. But you must be careful and don't forget to take care of yourself." These words warmed everyone's hearts like a spring breeze.

Not far away, two young men looked ahead excitedly and whispered among themselves:

"Look at that guy with the sledgehammer! He's so cool!"

"Yeah, yeah! I wish I could become a hero like that someday."

Suddenly, a young girl rushed out from the crowd, brandishing a small dagger. "I want to help my brother and Lord Li defeat the enemy too!" Her childish voice was filled with courage and determination. This brought smiles to the faces of the previously silent crowd, and their morale soared even higher.

However, as Mocaslon drew closer, the pressure in the air suddenly increased. Several young children clasped each other's hands tightly, their eyes filled with both fear and defiance.

"Look over there—" the village boy exclaimed, pointing to the twinkling lights in the night sky. "Is it...is it a divine intervention?" In reality, those were just faint starlight reflected from the clouds.

Mocaslon sneered a few times, "Hmph... Foolish humans, you actually think you can deal with me with these petty tricks? Today, I'll show you what true despair is!"

Faced with such provocation, the soldiers were not intimidated but instead became even more united. "Go! Go!" the villagers shouted in unison. Li Changfeng took a deep breath, gathering all his spiritual power at the tip of his sword, forming halos of light that swirled around the blade. "Brothers, to protect this land and our loved ones, charge—"

Chapter 1094 Quickly Retreat

Chapter 1094 Quickly Retreat

With the order given, the two armies quickly engaged in fierce combat. The forces of darkness and light clashed completely at that moment.

The villagers formed a protective wall around the perimeter, while the front line was staffed by elite troops led by Zhao De.

Every strike and every parry was imbued with extraordinary significance. Amidst the flashing blades and clashing swords, only sparks flew.

Suddenly, a powerful shockwave struck, causing the entire formation to tilt and sway.

"Hahaha, let's see who the real victor is!" Behind the arrogant laughter lies countless schemes and plots.

At this moment, everyone felt an unprecedented sense of challenge, but it also ignited the deepest desire in their hearts to grow stronger...

"Brother! Can we do it? Can we really do it?" The little girl tugged at her brother Zhao De's hand again, her face full of anxiety.

Zhao De gripped her hand tightly: "Yes, we will. Just like the story that sister told us—as long as you hold onto your beliefs and take action, there's no obstacle you can't overcome." His eyes shone brightly like stars, filled with anticipation for the future.

The battle continues, and the outcome remains uncertain...

Finally, amidst a tense and exciting atmosphere, a loud bang was heard, followed by a temporary silence. At this moment, sounds rose and fell from all around:

"Is it over... is it over?"

"It seems like nothing has changed..."

"No, impossible! It was so intense just now..."

"Look over there—" A scream shattered the silence, and everyone turned to look at the source of the sound...
