I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

However, just as the cheers of victory were about to end, a new crisis quietly loomed. "Look over there! It seems more unidentified creatures are approaching!" A lookout shouted out the latest discovery, and everyone was instantly plunged into a new atmosphere of tension.

Faced with this scene, the usually calm and composed Leon showed a rare serious expression. "It seems that this battle is far from over so easily. Everyone must remain vigilant and not take it lightly."

"Yes, but no matter how difficult it is, we will not give up hope!" said a villager nearby, "because there are still so many people fighting side by side with us."

At that moment, Lucy stood in front of everyone and said, "Listen up everyone! As long as we remember the importance of teamwork, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome. Next, we must continue forward according to the plan and defend this place at all costs!"

-"That's right, just like Leon said, as long as we unite as one, we can overcome anything!" Another soldier followed closely and voiced his support.

"But how should we proceed specifically?" a younger youth asked in confusion.

-"Don't be anxious, let's discuss it together. After all, everyone will be the key person to determine the final result." Leon looked at the crowd gradually gathering around him, his eyes flashing with unwavering trust and hope.

Thus, under the shroud of night, this group of ordinary people, relying on their own strength and wisdom, challenged the unknown... How the future would unfold, perhaps only time would tell. As a new crisis approached, more villagers and warriors quickly gathered in the village center. Leon stood at the front of the group, his gaze fixed firmly on the dark shadows that grew in the distance. He knew in his heart that the enemy this time was likely far more numerous than those he had encountered before.

"Everyone, prepare your weapons and try to find a terrain advantage you can exploit." Ryan's voice echoed through the crowd, and his suggestion immediately received a positive response. People began to look for places they could defend. Some brought wood and stones to build temporary barriers, while others set up bows and arrows on the walls, preparing for the upcoming battle.

"Look over there!" a watcher shouted, seeing tiny glimmers of light emerging from the shadows of distant trees. "Those are monsters' eyes. Countless of them are moving towards us."

An oppressive tension filled the air, and even several newcomers, participating in the battle for the first time, turned pale. But at this moment, Ivan suddenly stood up, clasping his hands together, a green healing light surrounding him. "Don't be afraid, everyone! No matter what happens, I will do my best to protect you from harm." This promise restored some courage to those who had been wavering.

Mireya followed closely behind, the longsword in her hand flashing with a cold light, her eyes cold but full of confidence: "As long as we unite and work together, there is no obstacle that we cannot overcome."

"Well said! Although our strength is limited, we have an indomitable spirit." An old but still strong man patted his chest and said loudly. These words warmed the hearts of many people.

"Yes, just look at that earth-shattering blow just now and you will know that there are many heroes hidden in our team." The young man next to him added excitedly.

Just then, the first wave of enemies finally reached the front. They roared, trying to break through the defenses, but were stopped by the well-prepared traps and the villagers' precise and powerful attacks. Leon, brandishing his sword, faced the strongest of them at the forefront, his every strike unstoppable. Ivan kept a close eye on the injured, ensuring they received timely medical attention. Lucy constantly adjusted her strategy, directing her archers to attack from different angles. And Mireya, demonstrating exceptional strength, repeatedly withstood the enemy's fiercest attacks.

The villagers who were watching were even more encouraged by the scene:

-"Wow, that's so cool! I wish I had such powerful strength."

-"Don't worry, you can become a warrior like them in the future!" The person next to him comforted with a smile.

Although the battle was still fierce, with everyone's joint efforts, the situation gradually turned in favor of the village. However, at this moment, an unexpected situation occurred - a black shadow flew through the air and headed straight for Ivan's position!

"Be careful!" A quick warning came from not far away, but it seemed too late...

Suddenly, everything stopped. The shadow stopped abruptly just before it reached Ivan, blocked by a transparent barrier. Everyone realized that Lucy had cast a defensive spell at the crucial moment, saving Ivan's life.

"Thank you..." Alvin thanked softly, secretly glad that Lucy was there.

-"Hurry up and recover your strength, there are more enemies waiting for us." Lucy's tone remained calm and decisive.

"Yes, I will speed up." Alvin nodded in response, then turned his attention back to the battlefield and devoted himself to treating the wounded.

"Everyone, pay attention. The most important thing now is to keep the formation stable and not give the enemy any opportunity." Leon reminded again.

"Got it! We will persevere to the end!" a young soldier responded loudly.

At the same time, Mireya noticed a group of even more powerful creatures quietly approaching from a distance. "Oh no! What is that?" she asked, pointing into the distance.

"I don't know... but they're not easy to deal with." Leon narrowed his eyes and observed them carefully for a while. "We have to find a way to get rid of them quickly, otherwise we will be in big trouble."

"Then what should we do?" someone asked doubtfully.

"Don't panic yet. Let's observe for a while and see if we can find a breakthrough," Lucy suggested. "And no matter what, we must maintain an optimistic attitude and believe that we can do better."

As everyone was discussing countermeasures, a new wave of monsters arrived, far exceeding their previous expectations. The air was filled with an even thicker sense of tension, sending a chill down even the most battle-hardened veterans' spines.

"We're here. Are you ready?" Leon's voice echoed through the crowd, like a stabilizing force, temporarily calming everyone's hearts. "Remember, we're not just fighting for ourselves, but to protect every inch of peace on this land."
