Chapter 263 Fight Again
Li Yunfei and his men returned triumphantly, and the town was filled with the joy of victory and the vision of the future. However, they knew that the Dark Cult would not give up easily, and after a short rest, they plunged into more intense preparations for war.
Li Yunfei sat alone in the room, carefully studying the mysterious map seized from the Dark Cult's stronghold by candlelight. His brows were furrowed, his eyes focused, as if he was trying to find the enemy's fatal weakness from the intricate lines and marks. Outside the window, the breeze gently blew the curtains, and the moonlight sprinkled on the ground like water.
Lin Yue was in the courtyard, facing the bright moon, practicing magic. She waved her hands, and dots of light flickered in the air, like falling stars. Every breath and every movement was absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, accumulating strength for the upcoming battle.
Zhang Hao was on the training ground, his clothes soaked with sweat. He waved his spear, repeating the stabbing action over and over again, and kept saying: "Faster! More accurate! More ruthless!" His eyes were firm, his muscles were tense, and every time he exerted force, he was determined to fight to the death.
Feng Yu was in her room, staring at the jumping flames. She tried to communicate with the flames, to make her heart merge with this fiery element. Her face was reflected by the flames, red, beautiful and resolute.
Mo Ying lurked in the shadows of the town, observing every corner, not missing any suspicious movement. His figure was like a ghost, silent, but always keeping a high level of vigilance.
As the days passed, the atmosphere in the town became more and more tense. One day, a spy hurried back to the town and brought shocking news.
"Lord Li Yunfei, the Dark Cult is gathering a large number of troops and heading in our direction. They are expected to arrive in three days!" the spy said breathlessly.
Li Yunfei's face instantly became solemn, and he immediately called everyone together to discuss countermeasures.
"The Dark Cult is coming with great force this time, and we must be fully prepared," said Li Yunfei.
Lin Yue nodded slightly, "I will prepare more healing potions and strengthening spells."
Zhang Hao clenched his fists, "No matter how many come, I will make sure they never return!"
A trace of determination flashed in Feng Yu's eyes, "My flames will burn them to ashes!"
Mo Ying remained silent, but the murderous intent in his eyes said it all.
For the next two days, the town was busy, with people reinforcing the walls, preparing weapons and arrows, and women and children helping to carry supplies.
At dawn on the third day, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the city wall, a dark mass of figures appeared on the distant horizon. The army of the Dark Cult had finally arrived.
Li Yunfei stood on the city wall, looking at the approaching enemy troops, and a surge of pride surged in his heart. "Brothers, for our homeland and for justice, we will never retreat!" he shouted.
The soldiers on the city wall shouted in unison, and their voices echoed through the sky.
The army of the Dark Order stopped at the foot of the city. A general walked out of the formation and shouted loudly: "Surrender, you guys who overestimate your own strength!"
Li Yunfei sneered, "Attack me if you have the guts!"
Following an order, the soldiers of the Dark Order rushed towards the city wall like a tide.
Zhang Hao stood on the city wall, wielding his spear vigorously, knocking down the enemies who climbed up the city wall one by one. "Come on, you bastards!" His roar resounded throughout the battlefield.
Lin Yue continued to cast healing spells on the city wall. Rays of green light fell on the injured soldiers, allowing them to quickly recover their combat effectiveness.
Feng Yu transformed the flames into a huge fireball and threw it into the enemy camp, causing chaos and screams.
The ink shadow shuttled across the city wall like a ghost, and each time it appeared it could take away the life of an enemy.
The dark cult soldiers below the city set up ladders and tried to climb up the city wall. Li Yunfei commanded the soldiers to attack the enemy with rolling logs, stones and boiling hot oil.
"Ah!" Screams rang out one after another, and the enemy's attack was hindered.
However, the attacks of the Dark Order became more and more fierce, and a corner of the city wall was finally breached.
"Follow me and block the gap!" Li Yunfei shouted and led a team of soldiers to rush towards the gap.
At the gap, the two sides engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand fight, with Li Yunfei's sword flying up and down, and blood splattering everywhere.
Lin Yue also came to the gap. She cast spells to attack the enemy while treating the injured soldiers.
Zhang Hao and Feng Yu also quickly came to support, and their appearance boosted the morale of the soldiers.
Mo Ying created chaos behind the enemy, making it impossible for the enemy to take care of both the front and the rear.
After a desperate fight, they finally drove the enemy out of the gap and reinforced the city wall.
But the battle is far from over, and the Dark Cult's attacks come wave after wave.
Li Yunfei and others were already exhausted, but their eyes remained firm.
"As long as we have a breath left, we will not let the enemy set foot into the town!" Li Yunfei said loudly.
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw a huge black dragon flying towards the town.
"It's a magical creature from the Dark Cult!" Lin Yue exclaimed.
A raging flame spewed out of the flying dragon's mouth, instantly igniting the buildings on the city wall.
Li Yunfei looked at the flying dragon and made up his mind. "I'll deal with it!"
He jumped off the city wall and rushed towards the flying dragon.
Feilong spotted Li Yunfei and swooped down towards him.
Li Yunfei kept rolling on the ground to avoid Feilong's attack, while looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
Finally, he discovered the dragon's weakness.
Li Yunfei leaped with all his might, jumped onto the flying dragon's back, and stabbed at its weak point with his sword.
The flying dragon let out a scream and fell from the sky.
Li Yunfei also jumped off the flying dragon's back and fell heavily to the ground.
"Li Yunfei!" everyone exclaimed.
Lin Yue quickly ran over, clasped her hands together, and muttered something. Green light emerged from her hands and turned into countless green light spots that flew towards the wounds of the injured. These green lights brushed over the bodies of the injured like a warm spring breeze, and their injuries recovered quickly. The wounded who were originally dying gradually regained their vitality.
Thanks to Lin Yue's efforts, the lives of the seriously injured were saved, but many people still died in this battle. Everyone quietly cleaned up the battlefield, buried the dead comrades, and mourned for them.
As the sun sets, the battlefield is in a mess, with bloodstained land strewn with broken limbs and broken weapons. Li Yunfei, Zhang Hao and others stand on the city wall, looking at the retreating enemy troops in the distance, their hearts filled with exhaustion and relief.
"We held on..." Zhang Hao said in a hoarse voice, his eyes revealing a hint of determination and indomitable spirit.
"Yes, we held it! But this is only a temporary victory, the enemy will come again." Li Yunfei said heavily.
"But at least we have proved our strength and let the enemy know that we are not easy to mess with!" Lin Yue encouraged.
"That's right, we must continue training, improve our strength, and prepare for the next challenge!" Li Yunfei said in a firm tone.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Although they had paid a huge price, this battle had made them more united and determined to defend their homeland.
But they knew that this was only a temporary victory, and the future battles would be even more difficult...
