I walk sideways in the game world

Even as night fell, the village remained brightly lit, the atmosphere tense and solemn. Ren Xiaoyao stood before a map, brow furrowed, fingers tapping lightly on the table, lost in thought. Xia Lin stood nearby, scanning the map and occasionally offering her own insights.

"Brother Xiaoyao, according to the intelligence we received, the target of the wealthy businessman Wang this time is the mine in Black Wind Ridge. This mine is rich in black iron ore, which is an excellent material for forging magical weapons. No wonder he would make such a big fuss." Xia Lin said, pointing to a mountain range on the map.

"Well, Mr. Wang is a greedy man who will do anything for profit. We must not let him succeed." A cold light flashed in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes. "Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative and seize the mine first!"

"Brother Xiaoyao is absolutely right." Xia Lin nodded in agreement. "I've already drawn up a detailed battle plan. We can take advantage of the terrain of Black Wind Ridge and set up an ambush to catch them off guard."

Ren Xiaoyao listened carefully to Xia Lin's plan, nodding from time to time and raising questions from time to time. The two discussed for a long time and finally decided on an action plan.

"Let's set off now without further delay!" Ren Xiaoyao gave the order decisively, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

"Guard Zhao!" Ren Xiaoyao called his confidant.

"I'm here!" Guard Zhao responded with a fist salute.

"You lead a hundred elite soldiers and rush to Black Wind Ridge overnight. You must seize the advantageous terrain and set up a defense line before Wang Fushang's troops arrive!" Ren Xiaoyao's tone was sharp and left no room for doubt.

"Yes, sir!" Guard Zhao took the order and left, quickly gathering his men and horses and disappearing into the night.

"Deputy General Li!" Ren Xiaoyao turned to Zhang Zhaizhu's deputy general and said in a deep voice, "Lead two hundred men and ambush in the dense forest near Black Wind Ridge. Once Wang Fushang's men enter the encirclement, attack immediately and annihilate the enemy!"

"Yes!" A hint of excitement flashed in Lieutenant General Li's eyes. He clasped his fists and took the order. He knew that a big battle was about to begin.

Watching the two men leave, Ren Xiaoyao's eyes flashed with a gleam, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he muttered to himself: "Wang Fushang, this time, I will make sure you never come back..."

The night was as dark as ink, a cold wind howling. Guard Zhao led a hundred elite soldiers, moving silently through the dense forest like a flash of black lightning. Each of them was agile and swift, and they soon arrived at Black Wind Ridge. Following Xia Lin's instructions, Guard Zhao divided his troops into several small teams, lurking at various entrances to the mine, waiting for their prey to fall into his trap.

At the same time, Lieutenant General Li led two hundred soldiers into an ambush in the dense forest near Black Wind Ridge. They hid their horses in the dense woods and lurked in the bushes, holding their breath and waiting for the battle horn to blow.

Wang's vanguard troops were unaware of the impending danger, and they marched towards the mine with greedy smiles on their faces. However, the moment they entered the mine, they were greeted by a deadly trap.

"Kill!" Guard Zhao shouted, and the soldiers lurking in the shadows rushed out like tigers descending from the mountains. With a swift movement of their swords, they instantly caught Wang Fushang's vanguard off guard. Shouts, screams, and the clash of weapons mingled, shattering the tranquility of the forest.

Lieutenant General Li immediately ordered an attack. Soldiers ambushed in the dense forest rushed out like arrows, surrounding Wang Fushang's troops. Despite their large numbers, Wang Fushang's troops were thrown into disarray by the sudden attack, suffering heavy casualties.

The news quickly reached Wang Fushang, who was furious when he learned that his vanguard had been completely wiped out. Unwilling to see his plan fail, he immediately assembled all his troops and personally led them towards Black Wind Ridge.

For a moment, shouts of killing rang out near Black Wind Ridge, and a fierce battle erupted around the mine. Wang Fushang's army was numerous and well-equipped, while Ren Xiaoyao's troops, leveraging the advantageous terrain and their tenacious fighting spirit, engaged in a desperate struggle. Blades flashed, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the land near the mine was soon stained red with blood...

"Brother Xiaoyao, the wealthy businessman Wang is leading his troops here personally. We have to be careful!" Xia Lin looked at the enemy troops gradually approaching in the distance and said to Ren Xiaoyao with a serious expression.

Ren Xiaoyao drew the longsword from his waist, his eyes gleaming fiercely. "Well-timed! Today, I'm going to make sure this wealthy businessman Wang never returns!" He turned and looked behind him. Guard Zhao and Lieutenant General Li were fighting bloody battles. He knew that the moment for the decisive battle had arrived...

Ren Xiaoyao roared, his figure flashing like a ghost. The longsword in his hand transformed into streaks of cold light, and each swing took away several lives. Although Wang Fushang's soldiers were fearless, they were like lambs to the slaughter before Ren Xiaoyao's exquisite swordsmanship, unable to fight back. Guard Zhao and Lieutenant General Li were even more valiant. They guarded Ren Xiaoyao from either side, their weapons like the Grim Reaper's scythes, harvesting the lives of the enemy.

"Kill! Leave no one alive!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted loudly, his voice echoing across the battlefield like thunder, shocking the enemy's mind. He swung his sword more fiercely, each move aimed directly at the enemy's vital points, showing no mercy.

Wang Fushang watched his soldiers fall one by one, feeling shocked and angry. He never thought that his carefully planned plan would be ruined by an unknown boy, and he would lose so many elite soldiers.

"Kill him! Whoever can take Ren Xiaoyao's head will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!" Wang Fushang roared, trying to boost morale with a huge reward.

However, under the powerful attack of Ren Xiaoyao and his men, Wang Fushang's army had completely lost its fighting spirit. They were defeated step by step and their army was completely routed. The balance of victory seemed to be tilting towards Ren Xiaoyao.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

A group of mysterious men in black cloaks suddenly descended from the sky and joined the battle. They were few in number, but each one of them was exceptionally skilled, their moves ruthless and deadly.

"Be careful! These people are not subordinates of the wealthy businessman Wang!" Xia Lin was sharp-eyed and recognized the origins of these men in black at a glance, and quickly spoke out to remind them.

Ren Xiaoyao's heart trembled. He had fought against these men in black before and knew how powerful they were. These men in black were well-trained, coordinated well, and each of them possessed impressive strength. They were definitely not ordinary people.

The joining of the mysterious organization instantly turned the tide of the battle. Wang Fushang's army, which had been completely defeated, seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and their fighting spirit was rekindled, and they began a frantic counterattack.

"No! They're targeting us! Retreat!" Ren Xiaoyao made a quick decision, realizing he couldn't afford to fight any longer. While fending off the attacks of the men in black, he shouted to Guard Zhao, Lieutenant General Li, and the others, "Don't fight any longer! Let's retreat first!"

Guard Zhao and Lieutenant General Li also knew that the situation was not good. They protected Ren Xiaoyao and fought and retreated, trying to break out.

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

A cold voice rang out from the crowd of black-clad people. A man in black stepped into the air, his sword pointed directly at Ren Xiaoyao...

The leader of the men in black was a ghostly figure, as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Ren Xiaoyao. The long sword in his hand, with a sharp sword energy, pierced Ren Xiaoyao's chest. Ren Xiaoyao did not dare to neglect it and quickly raised his sword to block. There was a loud "clang" sound, and the two swords collided, sparking a burst of dazzling sparks.

Ren Xiaoyao's palms were numb from the shock, and he involuntarily took a few steps back. The leader of the men in black was clearly stronger than him. If he hadn't reacted in time, he would have been seriously injured.

"Retreat!" Ren Xiaoyao ordered again, his voice heavy with gravity. He knew that with their current strength, they were no match for these men in black. Continuing to fight would only lead to their own deaths.

Guard Zhao, Lieutenant General Li, and the others also knew the importance of the situation. They stopped fighting and protected Ren Xiaoyao while fighting and retreating, breaking out to the other side of the mine. The men in black were in hot pursuit, using ruthless moves to try to keep Ren Xiaoyao and the others here.

"Xiaoyao, we can't keep going like this. We'll be caught up sooner or later!" Xia Lin said anxiously. They had been fleeing for nearly half an hour, but the man in black was still hot on their heels, like a leech clinging to their bones, impossible to shake off.

Ren Xiaoyao's face was solemn. He knew that this was not a solution. However, facing the black-clad men whose strength far surpassed theirs, what could they do?

"Let's find a place to hide first!" Ren Xiaoyao said gritting his teeth.

After wandering around the mines for a while, they finally found a hidden cave. The entrance to the cave was narrow, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it a good place to temporarily hide from pursuers.

"Huh! We finally got rid of them." Lieutenant General Li sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.

"Don't let your guard down yet. The men in black could come after us at any moment," Ren Xiaoyao warned. He sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and began to breathe, regaining his strength.

Xia Lin walked over to Ren Xiaoyao and asked worriedly, "Xiaoyao, what should we do next? This matter may not be that simple. Mr. Wang is backed by a mysterious organization. It will be extremely difficult for us to seize the mine resources!"

Ren Xiaoyao opened his eyes, a gleam in them, and said in a deep voice, "You're right, this matter is indeed not simple. However, the mine resources are of vital importance to us and must not fall into the hands of wealthy businessman Wang and the mysterious organization. We must re-formulate our plan and find their weaknesses in order to have a chance of victory."

"But they are so powerful, we..." Xia Lin hesitated to speak, she really couldn't think of any good solution.

"Everything depends on our own efforts. As long as we don't give up, there will be hope." Ren Xiaoyao said in a firm tone.

At this moment, a deep voice came from the cave entrance: "Don't worry, I can help you."

Ren Xiaoyao, Xia Lin and others were shocked when they heard this and turned around quickly. They saw a mysterious man wearing a black cloak and a hat standing at the entrance of the cave, but their face could not be seen clearly.

"Who are you? Why are you helping us?" Ren Xiaoyao asked vigilantly.

The mysterious man slowly took off his bamboo hat, revealing a handsome face. With a faint smile on his lips, he said, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I am just like you, an enemy of the mysterious organization..."
