Chapter 283 Be prepared
After learning that the dark forces were gathering again, the entire village immediately went into a state of high alert. Shen Mo quickly gathered everyone to discuss countermeasures in the village square.
"The dark forces are coming with great force this time, and we must be fully prepared." Shen Mo's expression was serious and solemn.
The old man stood aside and nodded slightly: "Yes, from the description of the scouts, their scale this time is larger than last time. We can't take it lightly."
Qingfeng gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, his eyes determined: "No matter what, we will not retreat."
The female general began to deploy troops: "I suggest strengthening the defenses at each entrance of the village and setting up multiple lines of defense to make it difficult for the enemy to break through easily."
Lin Yuwei said: "I will prepare more powerful spells in case of emergency."
Su Yao also expressed: "Don't worry about the supplies, we have stockpiled enough food and medicine."
Shen Mo listened to everyone's speeches and gradually came up with a plan in his mind: "Okay, let's do as everyone says. Qingfeng, you lead a team of soldiers to be responsible for the eastern defense line; female general, you are responsible for the west; Lin Yuwei and Su Yao stay in the center of the village and provide support at any time. The old man and I will observe the overall situation from a high place and command the battle."
Everyone took orders and took quick action.
Soldiers built tall barricades at the entrance to the village, dug traps, and laid sharp spikes. Archers were in position, arrows on their strings, ready to fire at any time.
Lin Yuwei meditated constantly in her magic circle to accumulate magic power, while Su Yao organized the villagers to distribute supplies to various defense points.
Shen Mo and the old man climbed up the village's watchtower and closely watched the movements of the dark forces.
As time went by, the atmosphere became more and more tense. Suddenly, a low horn sounded in the distance, and the army of the dark forces appeared in sight.
"They are coming!" Shen Mo clenched his fists.
The soldiers of the dark forces came like a tide, their flags fluttering in the wind, exuding a terrifying aura.
"Get ready for battle!" Shen Mo shouted loudly.
The eastern defense line led by Qingfeng was the first to engage in a firefight with the enemy. The dark soldiers frantically attacked the defense line, trying to break through. Qingfeng led the way and fought a desperate battle with the enemy.
"Kill!" His shout resounded through the sky.
The western defense line in charge of the female general was also under tremendous pressure, but the soldiers under her command held their positions and refused to give an inch.
Lin Yuwei seized the opportunity and cast a powerful fire spell, which instantly exploded among the enemy group, causing chaos.
Su Yao led the villagers to bandage the wounds of the injured soldiers and provided them with water and food so that they could maintain their strength and continue fighting.
The battle was extremely fierce, with heavy casualties on both sides. However, Shen Mo and his men put up a tenacious resistance, and the attacks of the dark forces were repelled time and again.
However, the dark forces do not seem to be willing to give up. They keep sending in new forces and launching wave after wave of attacks.
"This is not a solution. We must find a way to disrupt their rhythm," said the old man.
Shen Mo thought for a moment: "Old man, what do you think?"
The old man smiled and said, "Watch me."
As he spoke, the old man formed seals with his hands and muttered something. Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder. Lightning bolts struck the dark army, causing them to lose their footing.
"Take advantage of now and fight back!" Shen Mo shouted.
The soldiers' morale was boosted and they rushed out of the defense line and launched a counterattack against the enemy.
With everyone's brave fighting, the dark army began to show signs of retreat.
"Don't let them run away!" Qingfeng shouted.
But Shen Mo stopped him: "Don't chase the desperate enemy. First consolidate the defense line to prevent them from attacking again."
Everyone obeyed Shen Mo's orders, withdrew from the defense line and rearranged the defense.
After this fierce battle, the village was defended, but it also came at a considerable cost.
"Everyone has worked hard. Let's take a break and replenish our energy." Shen Mo said.
The soldiers collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.
Su Yao led the villagers to deliver food and water to everyone.
Lin Yuwei continued to treat the injured soldiers.
Shen Mo and the old man stood on the watchtower, looking at the direction where the dark forces were retreating in the distance, their hearts filled with worry.
"They won't give up. We must come up with a better solution as soon as possible." Shen Mo said.
The old man nodded: "Well, we still have a lot of work to do."
At this moment, a soldier came running to report: "Some strange traces were found behind the battlefield. They seem to be some kind of secret code left by the dark forces."
Shen Mo and the old man looked at each other, and a bad premonition surged in their hearts...
