They agreed to meet at the edge of the town on a bright moonlit night. Everyone's faces were filled with longing for the future and confidence in each other. Before embarking on the journey to the sanctuary, Klein looked at the brightest star in the night sky and said softly: "No matter what we will face, as long as the five of us stand side by side, there will be no difficulty that cannot be overcome."
Su Mo heard this and responded with a smile: "That's right, Klein. We are each other's light and each other's backing. Journey to the Holy Land!"
Just as Klein, Su Mo and their team members were intensively preparing their plan to go to the sanctuary, a piece of urgent news broke through their peaceful night like thunder. The communication crystal in Su Mo's hand suddenly flashed, and a breathless voice came from inside: "Su Mo, it's bad, intelligence shows that a powerful force is plotting to invade our kingdom!"
Klein stood up abruptly, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes: "We must take action, and we cannot let our homeland be threatened."
"However, the mission of going to the sanctuary to find the relics is equally important." Sebastian frowned, with a hint of hesitation in his voice.
Su Mo held the communication crystal tightly with a firm gaze: "Our first priority is to protect our homeland and people. The sanctuary can wait, but the safety of the kingdom cannot be delayed. What we have to do is to get the best of both worlds."
Ivan nodded and agreed: "We can use the resources and information network to find relics and organize defense and counterattack at the same time."
Klein clapped his hands and focused everyone's attention: "Okay, then it's settled. Su Mo, use your resourcefulness to formulate a plan that can not only aid the kingdom, but also not delay the search for the relics."
< br>
Su Mo quickly entered the state, and he began to assign tasks: "Klein, you and Ivan continue to collect clues about relics, especially those related to defense or strength improvement. Sebastian, with your experience in the Knights, Contact knights and warriors from various places to organize a defense line. I will go to the royal city to communicate directly with the royal family to obtain more information. At the same time, I will use my resources in the intellectual community to find talents who can quickly improve their strength or have special abilities."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and an unprecedented dual mission began. Klein and Alvin's journey became more urgent. While they were searching for relics, they also did not forget to collect methods and materials that could resist foreign enemies. Sebastian showed extraordinary organizational skills. In a short period of time, spontaneous resistance teams quickly assembled in various key areas to form a preliminary line of defense.
Su Mo was at home in the royal city. Not only did he successfully persuade the royal family to provide necessary support, he also discovered several reclusive high-level mages and descendants of historical heroes. These potential forces began to converge towards the center of the kingdom.
Late one night, when Klein and his team were having a routine call through the communication crystal, Su Mo's voice revealed a hint of exhaustion but also hope: "I have reached a consensus with the royal family that they will fully support our defense operations. And, I found a blueprint for an ancient light magic weapon. If it can be produced in time, it will become a weapon for us to resist foreign enemies.”
"Great, Su Mo!" Klein said excitedly, "We have also made progress here. Aiwen found a book describing the light formation, which can strengthen our defenses."
"As for my side," Sebastian said cheerfully, "We have established an early warning system and have set up traps and ambushes at key intersections. The enemy will not succeed easily."
In this intense and orderly preparation, the cooperation between Su Mo, Klein and the entire team reached an unprecedented tacit understanding. They understand that this battle is not only against foreign invaders, but also a major test of their beliefs.
One night, when everyone gathered again through the communication crystal to discuss the latest progress, Su Mo suddenly suggested: "Klein, I think it's time for us to gather back in the town, integrate all resources, and formulate a final decisive battle plan."< br>
Klein nodded solemnly: "It's time. Alvin, Sebastian, we must not only defend the kingdom, but also prove that light can always dispel darkness."
Witnessed by a bright moon, the warriors scattered everywhere embarked on their return journey. Their hearts were both anxious about the upcoming battle and full of determination to win. When they gathered in the town again and looked at each other's firm eyes, an unprecedented force of unity flowed between them.
"How are we prepared?" Su Mo asked, looking around with the light of wisdom shining in his eyes.
"Everything is ready." Klein replied succinctly, and Alvin and Sebastian also gave the same answer with firm eyes.
"Very good, then the next step is to turn these preparations into our shield and sword." Su Mo's voice was low and full of power. He took out the ancient light magic weapon blueprint from his arms and slowly unfolded it, "This I have entrusted the most skilled craftsmen in the royal city to build the magic weapon in secret, and I believe it will soon become our trump card.”
"At the same time," he continued, his eyes scanning Klein, Alvin and Sebastian one by one, as if he could see the invisible power behind them, "Evan, the light formation book you found must be in the Before the enemy comes, place it on our defense line, and every inch of land will become an insurmountable barrier for the enemy.”
"Sebastian, your early warning system and traps will be our first line of defense, striving to give the enemy a 'surprise'. Remember, speed and concealment are the keys to our success."
"Klein, you and I are jointly responsible for formulating the overall strategy. We must ensure that every link is as precise as a gear and impeccable. At the same time, you must maintain contact with resistance teams in various places to ensure that our information flows unimpeded. ”
"We don't have much time, every minute and every second is crucial." As Su Mo finished speaking, an urgent and solemn atmosphere filled the air.
"Su Mo, we understand." Klein replied firmly, turning to look at Alvin and Sebastian. Their eyes were full of trust and determination.
"It's not just us," Sebastian said solemnly, "Knights, warriors, mages, and even ordinary people everywhere are ready. We are not alone in this battle."
< br>
Alvin chuckled, and that laughter contained confidence in his partners, "We have each other and everyone in this country, and the light will guide us to victory."
As the night deepened, the four people sat around the table, and the sound of discussion gradually became lower, leaving only the occasional sound of turning paper and whispers. In the end, it was Su Mo who broke the tranquility:
"Tomorrow, we will gather again, and at that time, our strength will condense into a light that illuminates the darkness. But now, let us rest and save our last strength for the upcoming battle."
Klein smiled slightly and looked at Su Mo, his eyes flashing with expectations for the future, "Indeed, tomorrow's battle will prove that the light will never go out. Good night, my friends, may the light accompany you in your dreams."
"Good night." Alvin and Sebastian responded one after another. Their voices intertwined under the quiet night sky, like the dawn that was about to bloom, heralding a new beginning.
The moonlight fell softly on the empty conference room. Maps and various documents were spread out on the table, and the figures of Klein, Su Mo, Alvin and Sebastian had disappeared. They each returned to the front line of preparations. Time was more precious to them than gold.
The next day, morning dawned. On the edge of the town, Klein and Su Mo stood on a high ground, looking into the east. Behind them is a team of warriors who are ready to go, with perseverance and determination written on everyone's face.
"Let's go, we don't have any extra time to delay." Klein said softly, his eyes showing both vigilance for unknown dangers and desire for victory.
The road to the Demon King's Blood Cave is long and dangerous. The team shuttles between dark forests and steep mountains, and every step is full of unknowns. And while walking through a dark forest, the crisis came quietly.
"Stop!" Klein, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly shouted. His intuition told him that there was an ominous atmosphere lurking around him.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground shook suddenly, and ugly shadow beasts suddenly jumped out of the soil and surrounded the team. Their eyes flashed with greedy red light, and their roars echoed through the forest.
"Get ready to fight!" Sebastian waved his sword, and the soldiers quickly formed a defensive formation. The mages also began to chant spells, preparing to release spells of light.
The battle broke out instantly, and the collision of light and darkness stirred up layers of sparks. Aiwen held an ancient book and quickly set up a light barrier with himself as the center, blocking out most of the shadow beasts.
However, in the chaotic battle, an unusually large shadow beast took the opportunity to rush towards Klein, its sharp claws shining coldly in the sun. Klein reacted quickly and raised his sword to meet him, but at that moment, his movements were suddenly sluggish, as if he was restrained by some kind of force.
"Klein!" Su Mo exclaimed. He tried to teleport to Klein's side for rescue, but was bounced away by the sudden dark energy.
Just when everyone thought it was irreversible, a bright light burst out from Klein's eyes, which was the explosion of the will and power hidden in his body. He forcibly broke free from the restraints, swung out his sword, and collided with the shadow beast's claws, making a deafening roar.
The light shines, then fades away. The shadow beast fell in a pool of blood, but Klein was also crumbling, his chest was torn by deep scratches, and blood kept pouring out.
"No!" Alvin and Sebastian rushed forward, trying to stabilize Klein.
A faint smile appeared on Klein's face. He looked at Su Mo. There was no fear in his eyes, only trust and regret. "Keep moving forward, find the relics, and protect our home... I can only go so far. ”
"Klein!" Su Mo held Klein's hand tightly, tears welling up in his eyes. He felt the gradual disappearance of Klein's vitality.
In Klein's last gaze, there was infinite hope for his companions and belief in a bright future. Then, his hand dropped weakly, and the light around him seemed to dim.
At this moment, the whole world seemed to quiet down, leaving only the crying of Alvin and Sebastian, and the silent tears of Su Mo.
"We will, Klein, we will complete all this, and let the light last forever in your name." Su Mo whispered. Although his voice was light, it was full of strength and determination. It was like a promise to Klein and also to him. A pledge for the future.
As night fell, with heavy hearts, they placed Klein's body in place and continued on the journey to the Demon King's Blood Cave. They know that the road ahead will be more difficult, but they also understand that they must move forward for the sake of Klein and their homeland.
In a heavy and determined atmosphere, Alvin whispered: "Although Klein has left us, his belief in the light will become our strongest shield."
"Yes," Sebastian continued, looking through the night as if he could see the distance, "Kleon's sacrifice will never be in vain."
Su Mo looked at the starry sky. There was a star there that seemed particularly bright. He whispered: "Klein, your light will always illuminate our path."
The night wind blew by, bringing a bit of coolness, but it also blew away the sad atmosphere. The three of them stayed in front of Klein's tomb for a long time. Finally, under the shining of the stars, they redressed and embarked on the journey to the Demon King's Blood Cave.
"Aiwen, we need to use your light magic to increase our speed while ensuring confidentiality." Su Mo's voice was firm. He knew that time waits for no one, and every minute of delay is mercy to the enemy. "Sebastian, while maintaining the early warning system, pay attention to the terrain and look for battlefields that are beneficial to us."
Aiwen nodded, opened the ancient light magic book, and silently recited the spell in his mouth. A soft yet powerful light enveloped the three of them. Their figures became blurred in the night, and they shuttled through the shadows of the trees like phantoms. between.
"I have been studying that book, which contains the secrets to strengthen our combat power." Ivan explained as he walked, his eyes shining with desire for knowledge and confidence in victory, "I will try my best to make our power stronger at the critical moment. Get the most out of it”
Sebastian stared ahead, looking back from time to time. His vigilance never relaxed: "There are many shadow creatures hidden deep in this forest, but they also provide us with cover. As long as we can Avoid their nests and quickly pass through this area, and you will enter a safer area." After many twists and turns, the group finally passed through the dark forest and arrived at the outskirts of the Demon King's Blood Cave. The sky here was shrouded in thick black clouds, and the air was filled with a disgusting stench. Su Mo took a deep breath and looked firmly: "This is the final hurdle. We must be careful and proceed step by step." (End of Chapter)
