From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 396 Turning the Tide and Defeating the Foreign Enemy

"Tonight?!" My voice involuntarily rose, the last syllable trembling.

It's not that I'm timid, it's just that this news came so suddenly and caught me completely off guard!

The final assault is tonight? The preparation time is far too short!

I stared intently at Lingxin, trying to glean something from her face.

Her face was deathly pale, and large beads of sweat rolled down her cheeks; she was clearly not joking.

"Is the news...is the news accurate?" I stammered.

Lingxin nodded frantically, her voice trembling with tears: "Accurate! I used a secret divination method, it can't be wrong! They... they've already assembled and are heading this way!"

My mind was buzzing, completely blank.

Damn, how did these guys get so fast?!

Our alliance is not yet fully stable, and many defensive measures are not in place. Are we going to have to go head-to-head now?

Wen Chen's expression was extremely grim. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down: "What about True Monarch Ziyang? Does he know?"

“We’ve already notified the True Lord, and he’s making urgent arrangements,” Lingxin said, her voice trembling with tears.

"Alright." Wen Chen said in a deep voice, "Go and rest first, and tell Fairy Feiyu the news so that she can prepare."

Lingxin felt as if she had been granted a pardon and stumbled out.

Only Wen Chen and I remained in the room, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

"What should we do?" I looked at Wen Chen, my voice trembling slightly.

He walked to my side and hugged me tightly. His embrace was warm and strong, like a solid fortress.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He whispered in my ear, his voice deep and gentle. "I will protect you, and I will protect everyone."

I buried my face in his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat, and the fear in my heart subsided a little.

“I know,” I said in a low voice. “I believe you.”

Wen Chen released me, cupped my face in his hands, and said with utmost seriousness, "Yao'er, this is not a simple battle, it is a battle of life and death. We must go all out to defend this place."

I nodded emphatically: "I understand."

“I need your help,” he said. “You have many brilliant ideas.”

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.

Yes, now is not the time to be afraid. I must pull myself together and contribute my strength to this battle.

"Okay, tell me what I should do?"

The sudden attack by Wen Chen's enemies will surely cause panic.

We need someone to step up and boost morale.

"I'll go!" I said without hesitation. "I'll go and tell everyone that we're not fighting alone, that we have hope, and that we will definitely win!"

“Okay.” Wen Chen nodded. “Also, we need to readjust our defenses. The original deployment may no longer be suitable for the current situation. We need to make corresponding adjustments based on the enemy’s attack route.”

“Leave this to me,” I said. “I’m familiar with the terrain, so I can redesign the defensive line and make our defenses even stronger.”

"Very good." Wen Chen smiled with satisfaction. "Yao'er."

I clenched my fists, my heart filled with fighting spirit.

This time, I must give it my all. For myself, for Wen Chen, for this land, I will never back down!

I immediately left the room and found Master Ziyang.

He was standing on the command platform, looking at the map with a solemn expression.

"True Lord!" I shouted.

Ziyang Zhenjun turned around, saw it was me, and nodded slightly: "Xiao Yao, you've come."

"My Lord, the enemy's all-out attack is about to begin, and we must prepare as soon as possible," I said.

Ziyang Zhenjun sighed: "I know, I have ordered all departments to be on high alert, but... the enemy is too strong, I am worried that we will have a hard time resisting them."

"No, we can definitely hold them off!" I said firmly. "True Lord, we are not fighting alone. We have hope, we have a future! As long as we work together, we will surely defeat the enemy!"

My voice was full of power, and a glint flashed in Ziyang Zhenjun's eyes.

"Good, well said!" He patted my shoulder. "Xiao Yao, I believe in you, I believe we can definitely win!"

Next, I started traveling around the alliance to boost everyone's morale.

I told them that although the enemy was powerful, we were not weak either.

We have unwavering faith, we have indomitable will, and we are determined to win!

My words touched everyone, and hope was rekindled in their eyes.

"Xiao Yao is right, we can't give up!"

"We will fight to the very end for our homeland!"

“We will definitely win!”

The morale of the alliance has been rekindled, and everyone is ready for battle.

At the same time, I also began to re-plan the defense line.

Using my knowledge of the terrain, I concentrated my defensive forces in several key locations, forming powerful firing points.

I also set up some traps and obstacles to slow down the enemy's attack.

Under my command, the alliance's defenses have become stronger and more difficult to breach.

Night finally fell, and darkness enveloped the earth.

In the distance came the sound of bugles, the signal that the enemy was attacking.

I stood on the city wall, looking at the dark mass of people in the distance, my heart filled with tension.

“They’re here…” I said softly.

Wen Chen walked to my side and took my hand.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here,” he said.

Looking at him, I was filled with emotion and courage.

I know he will do everything in his power to protect me and this land.

“I’m not afraid,” I said. “I will fight alongside you.”

The enemy's attack began; they surged forward like a tidal wave, their battle cries deafening.

"Kill!"

"Come on!"

"Take down the league!"

The alliance's defenses immediately launched a counterattack, with the light of various magical arts and treasures intertwining in the night sky like dazzling fireworks.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"what!"

Explosions and screams echoed throughout the battlefield, creating a tense and brutal atmosphere.

The enemy was numerous and their offensive was extremely fierce.

The alliance's defenses soon faced a crisis, with the enemy breaching some areas, making the situation extremely critical.

"Quickly, provide support over there!"

"Hold the line and don't retreat!"

"Kill all these invaders!"

I traveled around, directing the alliance members to launch a counterattack.

I used my speed and agility to constantly move across the battlefield, helping my comrades who were in trouble.

"Yao'er, be careful!" Wen Chen's voice rang in my ears.

I turned around and saw an enemy wielding a large sword, slashing at me.

I quickly dodged, narrowly avoiding the blow.

"You're courting death!" Wen Chen roared, and with a single sword strike, he killed the enemy.

"Wen Chen, be careful!" I said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm fine," he said. "You should be careful too, don't push yourself too hard."

“I know,” I said. “I will protect myself.”

Just then, I saw that Fairy Feiyu was injured and was being attacked by several enemies.

"Fairy Feiyu!" I exclaimed and rushed over.

"Xiao Yao, be careful!" Fairy Feiyu shouted.

I rushed to Fairy Feiyu's side and used my sword to force the enemies back.

"Fairy Feiyu, how are you?" I asked with concern.

"I'm fine, just a minor injury," Fairy Feiyu said. "Go help the others, I can still manage."

"Okay, be careful!" I said, then turned and rushed towards other battlefields.

Standing on the command platform, Ziyang Zhenjun looked at the difficult situation at the front line with great concern.

"This can't go on. Our defenses will be breached sooner or later." He sighed. "Are we really going to fail?"

Suddenly, a voice rang in his ear: "True Lord, we still have a chance!"

Ziyang Zhenjun turned around and saw Qingfeng standing behind him.

"Qingfeng, do you have any ideas?" asked True Lord Ziyang.

Qingfeng smiled slightly: "True Lord, Xiao Yao is exceptionally intelligent. She will surely be able to find a way to help us overcome this difficulty."

Ziyang Zhenjun nodded: "I hope so."

I have been running around the battlefield, constantly searching for the enemy's weaknesses.

I discovered that although the enemy's attack was fierce, their formation was not tight enough and they lacked unified command.

"An opportunity has come!" A thought flashed through my mind, and I immediately came up with a plan.

I found Wen Chen and told him my thoughts.

"Wen Chen, we can use the terrain to divide and surround the enemy, and then defeat them one by one!" I said excitedly.

A glint flashed in Wen Chen's eyes: "Great idea! Yao'er, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

"There's no time to lose, let's get moving!" I said.

Wen Chen and I immediately took action. We used magic and the terrain to divide the enemy into several small groups, and then concentrated our superior forces to encircle and annihilate them.

The enemy was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.

Their offensive began to wane, and the pressure on the alliance eased accordingly.

"We won!" the league members cheered.

Just then, I suddenly sensed a powerful aura approaching us.

Wen Chen's expression also became extremely solemn.

"Watch out!" he shouted.

Suddenly, a man in black robes descended from the sky and landed in front of us.

He exuded a powerful aura that made people feel suffocated.

"Are you the leaders of the alliance?" the man in black robes said coldly.

Wen Chen and I watched him warily, our hearts filled with unease.

"Who are you?" I asked.

The man in black robes chuckled sinisterly: "I'm here to take your lives!"

Having said that, he raised his hand, and a beam of black light shot towards us...

Wen Chen pulled me behind him and swung his sword to block the black light.

"Yao'er, be careful, this guy is not simple!" he said in a deep voice.

I looked at the man in black robes, my heart filled with fear.

This guy is too strong; I'm afraid we'll have a hard time defeating him.

What should we do? What should we do?

The man in black robes looked at us.

“Your end is nigh!” he said with a sinister grin.

"Is that so?" I sneered. "It's still uncertain who will emerge victorious."

I looked at Wen Chen, and I knew him; he would fight alongside me until the very last moment.

“Wen Chen…” I said softly.

Wen Chen gripped his sword tightly, looking at the man in black robes with a solemn expression.

"Are you ready?" he asked in a low voice.

I took a deep breath and nodded.
