Beautiful girl travels through time and space to become a princess

Chapter 271 Vigilance

After the dark leader was defeated, the village fell into exhaustion and sadness. The wounded soldiers lay in the makeshift tents, and groans of pain were heard from time to time. Su Yao and other villagers took care of the wounded day and night, their eyes full of concern and worry.

Shen Mo looked at the devastated village with a heavy heart. He knew that the task of rebuilding his homeland would be arduous and long.

"We must restore the village to life as soon as possible." Shen Mo said to Qingfeng and the female general.

Qingfeng nodded: "That's right, but our supplies were also consumed a lot in the battle, which is a big problem."

The female general thought for a moment and said, "We can first organize the villagers to save themselves and clean up the ruins, and at the same time send some soldiers to the surrounding towns to seek assistance."

Shen Mo agreed to this plan, and everyone started to take action.

The villagers picked up tools, cleaned up the collapsed houses and repaired the damaged roads. The children also helped to carry some small items. Although they were weak, their eyes were full of determination.

Lin Yuwei used her magical knowledge to try to find some methods to speed up recovery. She discovered a herb growing in a nearby valley that had the effect of healing and restoring physical strength.

"I'll take some people to collect this herb." Lin Yuwei said.

Shen Mo looked at her worriedly: "Be careful, there may still be residual dark forces."

Lin Yuwei smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will pay attention."

With everyone's efforts, the village gradually underwent some changes. Some simple houses were rebuilt and farmland was replanted.

At the same time, the soldiers sent out to seek assistance also brought back good news. The surrounding towns were willing to provide some material and manpower support.

"That's great. This is really a timely help." Shen Mo said.

With the arrival of aid, reconstruction work has progressed more smoothly. New houses have been built and fortifications have been strengthened.

However, Shen Mo and others did not relax their vigilance because they knew that the dark forces could strike again at any time.

"We must strengthen training and not let previous tragedies happen again," the female general said to the soldiers.

The soldiers sweated on the training ground, working hard to improve their combat skills.

One day, Shen Mo was patrolling the village when he suddenly saw a strange figure wandering outside the village.

"Who are you?" Shen Mo asked vigilantly.

The man turned around slowly and was an old man in a tattered robe.

"I am a traveler passing by. I heard about your heroic deeds and wanted to come and see them," said the old man.

Shen Mo did not relax his vigilance: "Now is a special period, you should leave as soon as possible."

The old man smiled and said, "Young man, don't be so nervous. I have also fought against the dark forces before, maybe I can help you."

Shen Mo looked at him doubtfully: "Can you help us?"

The old man nodded and said, "I know some secrets about the dark power, maybe it will be useful to you."

Shen Mo took the old man into a room and listened carefully to his story.

The old man said: "The source of the dark forces is more ancient and mysterious than you think. They will not disappear easily. This failure is only temporary."

Shen Mo frowned: "Then what should we do?"

The old man took out a yellowed book from his bosom and said, "It contains some ancient spells and formations that can restrain the power of darkness. Perhaps it will be helpful to you."

Shen Mo took the book and said gratefully: "Thank you, if what you said is true, you will be our great benefactor."

The old man waved his hand: "I just did what I should do. I hope you can succeed."

After the old man left, Shen Mo immediately summoned Lin Yuwei and others to study this mysterious book together.

As time went by, the village gradually regained its former prosperity during reconstruction. But Shen Mo and others knew that the challenges they faced were far from over...
